Cart for Carrying Huge Drum in Parade
This Rubber-Tired Cart was Built Specially for a Large Drum Used in Parades
The inalienable right of the small boy to carry the drum in a parade was disregarded when the cart shown in the sketch was made for a large drum. Two rubber-tired wheels were mounted on an axle bent to fit the drum, and curved handles, forming a supporting frame, were fixed to it. The frame was made of hickory, steamed and bent into shape, and the drum was arranged to be quickly dismounted.—W. C. K., Mason City, Iowa.
