Don't leave us hanging! How does it turn out? What mischief did Mario get up to during his friend's nap?

I wonder: were peddlers with horse-drawn carts still a commonplace sight when this hit the presses in the fifties? Not in the suburbs, but in the ethnic parts of the city centers?

hmmm...good question! probably some cities, more than others.
