I did, I think I agree with the foregoing. What I question is the idea that<br>
those sacks are mail sacks.<br>
<br>
It looks to me as if the contents of the sacks are grain or flour or<br>
something with less structure than small packages or bundles of letters.<br>
Note how the "ears" at the bottom of the sacks are filled out, and the<br>
roundedness of the body of the sacks. I would think that mail would show us<br>
corners and edges here and there rather than the smooth surfaces those sacks<br>
exhibit.<br>
<br>
Then again, I may be unduly influenced by the legend for some brand of flour<br>
displayed on the one wagon.<br>
