Still Making Wagons in St. Louis as Autos Rise
Despite the rise of auto and truck use, St. Louis plants still produce wagons though far fewer than before. Last year only about 7000 wagons were built in the city, but the industry remains a major U S supplier with wide distribution to Arkansas Texas Louisiana Mississippi Alabama and Kentucky. Some farmers still find wagons economical for farm use due to cheaper feed than fuel and fewer spare parts. Myrtle Point residents note the decline of the side bar buggy as a transportation option.
