THE BROWN WAGON. 



Reasons for its Superiority. 



Oil Boiled Felloes, shutting out all moisture, preventing rot and keeping tires tight. 

 Chains with springs to control the wheels, which destroy largely the switching of the tongue. 



Stay 



To overcome the objections in tongue chains, as commonly used, Coil Springs have been 

 applied to ease the draft on the team's neck, when the chains are forced to control the tongue 

 or hold back. Branch Chains have also been added to each tongue chain. A Branch Chain is to 

 destroy, as far as possible, the side jerking, and to protect the horses from the whipping motion of 

 the tongue. The Coil Springs yield to either the pull of the chain or branch, saving the team at all 

 times from the sudden jerking of the tongue, protecting both horses and harness. The Branch 

 Chains have a tendency to prevent side motion of the tongue — same as neck yoke, but less cramping 

 for the horses — while the Coil Springs supply the place of the vibrating of the neck yoke to ease 

 the team's necks. Only wagon with Yielding Tongue Chains with Check Branches. 



Skein and Axle Different from all Others. 



Our Extension Shoe Skein is one of the greatest improvements on wagons during the last fifty 

 years, as it protects the axle as well as the skein, allowing the axle to be made of less material. The 

 shoe of the skein supports the axle where it has the greatest load to bear, and is superior to the steel 

 skein, as it allows a greater quantity of the axle to enter the shoe of the skein. 



The Skein is also chilled on its face, and will wear longer than a steel skein. The steel skein 

 has no temper in it, and is as soft as iron, as it is required to be welded to make it.
