Title	Mike McLaughlin and his Horse and Dray--View 2
Subject	Transportation; Commerce
Description	Mike McLaughlin, life-long resident of Madison, is pictured with his horse and dray. A dray was a utility cart used for hauling mostly heavy, commercial merchandise. Many breweries used drays to transport heavy barrels of beer from one place to another. Lumber, furniture and other commercial goods were transported in this fashion. In the early city directories many residents listed their employment as "draymen". Drays became obsolete with the invention of the motorized truck. By the late 1930's, drays became an oddity on the streets.
