Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus early 1920's #2

This picture shows how Mr. Curtis' seat wagons worked. My dad said that the big disadvantage here was spotting the wagons on muddy lots, whereas the conventional way you could simply carry stringers and jacks from the street if need be. The major advantage however was the fact that they couldn't fall down. At right you can see another of Mr. Curtis inventions the canvas spool.
