Isn't that the sad truth! I know exactly what you mean. :-( I'm just
more verbose.
The same kind of thing went on in Saint Louis, back in those days. But
the wagons were drawn by horses, not mules, and the wagons had metal
wheels with metal spokes and rubber tires, very like the standard
automobile wheel of the '30's, instead of wooden wheels with wooden
spokes and iron tires.
