This advertising piece is is for the Jackson wagon Company of Jackson, Michigan.
The Jackson Wagon Company built a factory on the grounds of the Michigan State Prison. Their wagons had earned a reputation for strength and durability during the 1849 California gold rush.
In the early 1880s Jackson Wagon Company received a telegram from the world-famous circus master P.T. Barnum. He inquired whether the Jackson company could build a wagon that was sturdy enough to hold 13,000 pounds. It seemed that one of Barnum’s star attractions, Jumbo the Elephant, was getting old and could no longer walk in circus parades. The show must go on and the elephant needed help.
