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, which destroy largely the 

 switching of the tongue. 



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 horse 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 neck. 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.
