HISTORY


AND DIRECTORY OF


EDWARD BAIN,


MANUFACTURER OF


FARM WAGONS, ST. JOSEPH, MO.


I desire to call particular attention to my manufacture of ·


FIRST-CLASS FARM WAGONS.


My shops are located on the C. & N. W. Railway, affording superior facilities for ship- ping in all directions.


Here I find convenient, an abundance of Wagon Stock of the very best quality, which is the greatest desideratum for the successful building of a uniform grade of wagons.


I use only the Leonard's Patent Seamless Thimble Skeins, which I find indis- pensable to insure light draught and a perfect running wagon.


I make Farm Wagons a Specialty, and thereby, having one class of stock and labor to provide, I am enabled to produce the justly celebrated Bain Wagon, the well-known reputation of which, throughout the Northwest, for uniform strength and durability, warrants me in saying that there are none better, if as good.


I do not claim to make the lowest price wagons, but I do claim and aim to make the best wagons, which, under all circumstances, will prove to be the cheapest in the end.


I will give to all buyers a good and sufficient guaranty, warranting my wagons to their entire satisfaction.


Orders for Wagons or Prices, will receive prompt attention.
