They would take supplies to logging camps, perhaps gold miners, and most likely to smaller towns.<br /><br />Great pictures, they are very clear.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386453083302606197.post-43979030037953221662013-01-21T11:25:50.983-05:002013-01-21T11:25:50.983-05:00It is indeed a fine historical picture.

I've been to a few museums where they show so many different kinds of sacks and bags like that, and often if it's coffee or flour they had a name stamped on them. But these appear blank, from what we can see! But, very nice to share either way!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386453083302606197.post-95331650148062482013-01-20T20:58:47.676-05:002013-01-20T20:58:47.676-05:00A super photo, Teresa, but I think it is wheat not...A super photo, Teresa, but I think it is wheat not flour. Wheat was put into sacks and hauled by wagons like this in the Pacific NW. Compare your wagons with this page about two thirds down. <br />http://www.remmick.org/Remmick.Family.Tree/Page45.html<br /><br />Also this one from a paper on agriculture in Oregon. It's a very similar set of wagons.<br />https://www.agronomy.org/images/publications/aj/100/Supplement_3/S-166fig11b.jpegMike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386453083302606197.post-80274335871176478062013-01-20T17:55:28.572-05:002013-01-20T17:55:28.572-05:00A lovely old photograph.
