Regarding the kerosene wagon tableau Fred Smith said, "Here is the power that came after the oxen, which is horses. They were used for heavy logging and large tow wagons and heavy tanks. A local man of Phillips, Hans Everson, delivered kerosene and Red Crown gasoline to Fifield and Park Falls and back to Phillips with the tank shown here from 1901 to 1915, and also took in Prentice and Catawba." Smith used the actual kerosene wagon described in the text above, and created the large figure of Hans Everson, wearing a Standard Red Crown gasoline globe for a hat.
