Wagons BROWN'S GOT IT or BROWN GETS IT W. ARE GOOD WAGONS! Why Has Your Wagon Not Got a Fifth Wheel? Study the Columbus Fifth Wheel Only International Wagons Have It WE can demonstrate how the Columbus fifth wheel makes the best wagon still better. Look over this strong, new feature, which you will find only on Inter national wagons. The famous fifth wheel on the Columbus, mado of strong, malleable iron, with largo wearing surface, does these things: lt distributes the strain on the front bolster and sandboard; overcomes pitching of bolster, so preventing bending or breaking of the king bolt; does away with pulling up of front bolster and bending of circle iron. The top plates of the fifth wheel are widest, so tho lower plates aro protected and no dirt gets in between. The more you study the merits of this feature, tho moro you will appreciate its importance. IU. BROWN, Walhalla, S. C. ??
