June 4th 1939 - The first shopping cart was introduced by Sylvan Goldman in Oklahoma City, OK. It was actually a folding chair that had been mounted on wheels.
Suprising to see how the world has changed in 70 years; and to what extent it has stayed the same.
A folding chair on a set of wheels was a great assistance and novelty to many around the world and has seen many facelifts over the years to become what it is today.
The suprising thing is I can still not buy a decent fold up chair let alone a trolley where the wheel doesn't act like a possessed ferret! God help us if the wheel problem continues for another 70 years!
