OLDEST 5TUHEB WAGONS Vehicles Located That Have Been in Service Since 1865. Away baok in 1805, forty-eight years ago, Uave Ulark tongue a iarm wagon. Tbe civil war was over. Men's minds turned to thoughts of peace and tne country was trying 10 forget tbe throes of the conflict by sturdily endeavoting to conquer the argioultoral possibilities 1 1 tbe North west. Mr. Clark purobaBed bis wagoa fiom the Studebaker agent at Uileae- ton, Wis., drove it out to bis farm and from that dav to this that faith fol old wagon bas been hauling Mr. Clark's grain and potatoes and truck to market. Figuring . that a working vear oootaios 800 days. Mr. Olark'a wagon bas been working for 14,400 days, and, allowing a ton to tbe load. it bas hauled a like number of tons for its owner, over good mads and bad, tbrongh winter stomas and summer bent. This icmaikatle stoiy of a farm wagon was unearthed by tbe Bouse of Studebaker when it was deoided to ntfer prizes to tbe owners of tbe oldest Studebaker wagons. Studebaker pub lishes an almanac, whlob baa a tre mendous circulation among tbe farm ers of the United States, and a pagj was devoted to explaining that, as tbe boase bad teen building wagons for over half a century, it would be in teresting to learn whether any old wagoni bad survived the wear and tear of years and service, and to stim ulate interest a series of prizes was ottered. J Tbe result of tbe quest for tbe old est wagon surprised tbe experts of Studebaker. A wagon that bad been in servioe twenty-five years was a mere iufant, so to speak. The wagons that bad been in servioe for thirty years were half grown . children, to carry tbe oomparisoo fnrtber, while there were ample records to prore that wagons of forty years of age were not unoommori. Dave Clark, now of Bern Is. South Dakota, heads the list with bis forty eigbt-yeai old vettran. O. H. Bow man, of Sandy Lake, Pa., and Sam Bane of Carbon, Ind., both own wag ons bought in 1886, and then follows a loog list of wagons bought in 1868, and aooceediog years, tbe percentage olimting higher as tbe early seventies and eighties were reached.
