This was the first Litter Carrier 



manufactured using the worm gear 



hoisting device. Seeking to overcome the objection of 



ratchet and lever gear, we planned and perfected this 



standard carrier. It was the pioneer Litter Carrier in its 



class, and is today the most popular and best selling Litter Carrier in the United States, 



The Standard is built along the same lines as the Emancipator except that cables instead of chains are 

 used for supporting the carrier box. These cables wind on drums which form 

 the connection between the pin wheels at each end of the carrier. The drums 

 will carry about five feet of cable, which limits the raising and lowering of the 

 carrier to about ^]/2 feet. (See detailed view, Fig. 722.) 



Using the worm gear, the same lifting power is secured as with the Emanci- 

 pator. No ratchets or levers are used and it will stand at any point. 



The material used in the construction of this carrier is the same as that used 

 in the Emancipator Carrier. The difference in the two carriers being in the 

 hoisting gear. It is built regularly for our Double Bead Steel Track. Track 

 Wheels are roller bearing. 



The same special steel axle with roller bearings for the wheels, the same 

 strong swivel connections for joining the trucks to the main frame, the same 

 connecting bars and the same latching parts as used in the Emancipator Carrier 

 are also used in the Standard Carriers. In all of their vital parts the two 

 carriers are alike in that they have ample strength for any work they will ever 

 p. _22 be called upon to do.

Dear Sirs: 



The Litter Carrier I bought of you last fall is more than I expected. I have it installed in one of my horse barns 

 whicii holds fifty head of horses, and it is the greatest labor-saving piece of machinery I have ever bought. 



One morning I fed the fifty horses hay and grain and cleaned out the barn in one hour and twenty minutes by 

 myself. If I had used a wheelbarrow to carry out the manure it would have taken me nearly two hours to clean out 

 the barn, and some hired men have been half a day at the same job. 



I looked at various other makes of carriers before I bought, but on account of having some of the Louden goods 

 on my farm 1 was determined to see the Louden Litter Carrier before buying, and when I saw your outfit at the State 

 Fair I was very anxious to buy one because I thought it was far better than any other I had seen. I don't know of 

 any place it could be made better — it works fine. 



I have showed the Carrier to a great many people and they have always had words of praise for it. 



Yours truly, 



Lewis Evans, Prop., Horse Exchange Stock Farm.
