THE BROWN WAGON. 



Reasons for its Superiority. 



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

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



To overcome the objections in tongue chains, as commonly used, w e ha\ e applied Coil Springs 

 to ease the draft on the team's neck, when the chains are forced to control tlie 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 also chilled on its face, and will wear longer than a steel skein. The steel ske^M 

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