Marcia, you are a politician. You have been around Severy so long you are like those Severy girls.

What I said was intended to be a compliment, I have been married to a Piedmont-Severy girl for 46 1/2 years.

Frank,

I am curious as to the purpose of a pony cart.

For racing or maybe just show? Or transportation without burdening the pony with a rider?

The only load the cart seems to be able to carry is the rider.

I looked up similar carts on the web and the current prices seem to be in the $600s. Those sites mention show.

That was a substantial manufacturing item that I did not know Howard had. Wonder how many other recent (past 50 to 60 years) manufacturing enterprises Howard and Elk County had?

Waldo, the carts were for show and for pleasure. The average Pony couldn't carry a man but with the cart 2 people could ride in it. Lots of the time I would hook a pony to one of the carts and take 2 liitle kids riding in it.

Waldo, I could carry one 100# bag of feed for the Milk Cows, sometimes I would hook up a pony and drive to Brown's Feed and get a bag of feed .
