American Wheel Barrows


Figure 1.--This unidentidied boy is having fun with his wheelbarrow. The photo was taken in the mid-1920s on a Kansas farm. Note his coveralls.

We also notice boys playing with scaled-down wheerl barrows. We do not see a lot of these snapshots, but we do see a few. Wheel barrows seem most common in rural asreas or small towns. They used them rather like waggons. It was another way oif carting around their possessions. SDomne boys masy have also moced around building materials. Waggons were, however, much more common. We rarely see girls playing with them.
