The Man With a Wooden Leg Sells His Wares From Hand Wagon
A Lititz man, Tailis Haag, travels eight miles weekly with a wooden leg to hawk stockings and small goods from a hand wagon. Struggling against a gale, he pushes on with cane and stump, saying his work is honest and not charity. He left Lancaster twenty four years ago after an accident, has no spouse or child nearby, and accepts meals from farmers in exchange for merchandise. The Lititz Clothing & Shoe Store promotes winter overcoats nearby.
