buy a set to fit your old gear. If you have no old 
gear you can buy one for a song, as there are 
thousands of them lying around the country. 
A set of Electric Steel Wheels costs less than 
one-half the price of a low wagon. They are 
made to fit any wagon. They make a new 
wagon out of your old one with wheels that 
cannot rot or break. Made with straight or 
staggered spokes, wide or narrow tires. Save 
blacksmith bills. Write for our Handy Farm

end. 
Furthermore, no scraping or 
burning will be required when 
repainting becomes necessary.
