Come In and See the Weber
Here Are a Few More Points on the Weber
YOU will be interested in looking over the hound,
hub, skein and skein box construction. On the
Weber the hounds are of straight-grained oak; on the front
gear they are of the square type, wide and roomy in the
rear, to give the reach ample support in turning short. They are
mortised and well braced with solidly welded steel.
Hubs are of white oak only, turned, shaped, and bored accurately
for the skein boxes. Skein box is made so that a grease chamber is
formed. A solid collar keeps the oil away from the wood of the hubs.
Mud and sand cannot get into the axle and the skeins cannot wear into
the skein boxes. That means long life and good service.
These are all reasons why you should have a Weber wagon—that is—
if you vvanta wagon for real work. Come in and let us show you.
