Even so, there was precious little economic advantage for those in the comfortable zone. What I learned, early on, was: practical advantage trumps theory every time. My grandfather (poor side) was practical. And, creative. If he had raw-materials-enough, he would built what he needed. Building a wagon, even one with only three wheels, would have presented no challenge. Failing that, he might have either built or otherwise procured a one-wheeled 'wagon'. Also known as a wheelbarrow.Paul D. Van Pelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508874039164282696noreply@blogger.com
