A kihordást lovas vagy teherkocsival (akár több járművel is) végezhették, feltéve, hogy azok a saját tulajdonukban voltak. Szóval, jött a szódás a lovával, ha volt neki, mert nem mindig futotta rá. S akkor maradt a kordé, a tricikli, a szánkó - ahogy olvashattuk már korábban - vagy éppen a háromkerekű motorkerékpár, ha sikerült kedvező áron hozzájutni. Az „örökös szódáslány" így emlékezik az újrakezdés logisztikai szempontból is nehéz éveire: „Tavaszra édesapám valahol szerzett egy hordár kocsit, majd a triciklit. A hordár kocsit én csak tolhattam, édesapám húzta. Ma hitetlenkedve mosolygunk ezeken a szállítóeszközökön, de nekünk minden azt jelentette, hogy fejlődik az üzem, talpon akartunk maradni.

" Distribution could be carried out on a horse-pulled cart, a truck (or even on several ones), provided that they were owned by the seltzer man. So, the soda maker came with his horse, if he had one, because he could not afford it in all cases. In bad times he took a two wheel cart, a tricycle or a sledge, as we could read about it earlier, or a three wheel motorbike if he managed to get one at a reasonable price. The „eternal seltzer girl" recalls the - even from the point of view of logistics - hard years of the new start: „By Spring my Daddy had managed to get a two wheel cart and then a tricycle. I was only allowed to push the cart, it was my father's job to pull it. Looking back, we cannot help but smile and can hardly believe we had these means, but every small, new thing promised us a better future, a developing company. We simply wanted to survive, and, thanks to God, we have managed. " It was only as late as the 70s that Uncle Géza Glasz from Kispest was permitted to buy a small-sized, second-hand truck. It must have been a great help, but did motorization offer the same good opportunities to have a good and friendly chat? The soda factory on the corner of Szondi and Eötvös Streets in Terézváros, which was operated for decades, was owned by the legendary Harmos brothers. They used a German made Kübelwagen that had come here from North Africa and a three wheel BMW motorbike to distribute their goods even in the 80s. Only later did they get a shabby Trabant, but the German oldy can be seen in the films even today, driven by its owner, Uncle Miklós.
