The zebras were an attraction for the Pevely Dairy.

Ain't easy to milk a Zebra

Yup Jim I found this story about these zebras

A pair of harnessed zebras were Hans and Tanta

They were captured in Southwest Africa and were

trained at the Hagenback Circus in Germany

In 1929 at the age of 3 they went to St Louis

Due to their early training Hans and Tanta were

exceedingly gentle and well harness trained

In the 1930s they became a familiar sight

pulling the Peverly Dairy milk delivery wagon

through the streets of St Louis

Moreover, they were rare Hartmann's Mountain Zebras.
