    Walter Backerman’s first delivery of seltzer dates back to April 1953. “At least that was the first time I accompanied my father on his route,” Backerman explained. “I was six months old at the time, and my mother was pushing me along in a baby carriage as my dad tried to build up his business by soliciting new customers door to door.” Seltzer routes were tight in those days, and there was plenty of competition. “Sometimes you could walk one block and see four seltzer trucks delivering to custom
