Also notice that a street cleaner had just shot a U in the lower left. (but did they have street cleaners back then?)

Horse-drawn mechanical street sweepers first came on the market in the 1840s. The first self-propelled street sweeper came out in 1914 - made by the Elgin company (still a common name in street sweepers
