THE BROWN WAGON. 



REASONS FOR ITS SUPERIORITY: 



tic-h?^^ Soiled Fellows— shutting out all moisture, preventing rot and keeping tires 



• ^^^^"s, with springs to control the wheels, and destroys largely the switch- 



ing oi the tongue. - 



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

 lon^ue Chains are unyielding stiff and damaging to both team and harness. While 

 Ac ^^^^^ ^^^l^f.^^^. too rigid, ENDWISE, they lack control from the side jerking 

 ol 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 SUCCESSFUIi REMEDY. 



To m-ercome 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 ar^ 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 lar as possible, the side jerking, and to protect the horses from the whip- 

 ping motioji 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 : pro- 

 tecting both horses and harness. The Branch Chains have the tendency to prevent 

 u^^^u'^^P: MO- tongne— 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, 

 .t, pur 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 ot less material. The shoe of the skein supports the axle where it has the great- 

 est load to bear, and is superior to the Steel Skein, as it allows a greater quantity o 

 the axle to enter the shoe of the skein. & h j 



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. .
