 Almost Any Kind of Angle 



Tlio t\i)c for empty crates, strawand lisht 

 prcKiiicts is shown in Fig. 5. For carry- 

 ing chickens, sheep or pigs, the sides 

 may be extended vertically for a short 

 lieight and llien folded over to form a 

 top, as shown in Fig. 4, preventing the 

 animals from getting out while being

Fig. 4. For Carrying Chickens, 

 Sheep, Pigs or Other Small Ani- 

 mals the Sides May Be Extended 

 and Folded Over to Form a Top 



to carry loose hay from the field to the 

 barn or from the barn to the purchaser. 

 Other forms may be adapted for hauling 

 wood, cotton, and merchandise of similar 

 character. 



Another advantage of this t^■pe of 

 body is that either one or both sides may 

 be folded down for easy loading and un- 

 loading or for selling produce from the 

 \ehicle at the market. There arc fifteen 

 possible arrangements of the sides and 

 ends which will suggest themselves as 

 the occasions arise. It would require 

 too much space to show them all.
