The Brown Wagon. 



REASONS FOR ITS SUPERIORITY. 



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

 Stay Chains, with springs to control the wheels, and destroys largelj' the switching of the tongue. 



OBJECTIONS TO TONGUE CHAINS ON ALL OTHER WAGONS. 

 When either holding the wagon down grade, or backing a loaded wagon, the tongue chains 

 are unyielding, stiff and damaging to both team and harness. While the tongue chains are too 

 rigid, endwise, they lack control from the side jerking of the tongue. This side jerking allows 

 the tongue to whip the horses legs, and the travel of the wagon is hindered by the unsteady 

 motion of the tongue. 



A SUCCESSFUL REMEDY. 



To overcome the above objections in tongue chains, as commonly used, we have applied Coil 

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

 hold back. We also add a Branch Chain to each tongue chain. The 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 so 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.
