Check out the Little Wagon to the Right --Whats in it

I want to tell that guy to find some place else to park his butt!
Looks like the horse and wagon era is about to end and the automobile age is beginning for that shop, a scene that was happening everywhere. I wish I knew more about that cute little wagon.
I don't know, but I don't think roll up windshields lasted long into the 1910 model year, so I guess it's a 1909 photo?
Who can decipher the writing on the back of the card?

Is that a manhole cover in the middle of their floor? or a heater grate?
I wonder if he bent the fender sitting on it like that.
Thanks, Dennis.

Holy moly
Speaking of overloaded vehicles.
