      MOBILE TOYS

      ANY toy that can be pushed or pulled about is a firm favourite with children and this is particularly true if they can ride on it. Strength in construction is of great importance for such toys are subjected to hard punishment, especially when the youngsters are excited!

      UTILITY CART NO. 1 (Fig. 20)

      This toy is a combination of two things. It is first of all a four-wheel cart that can be pushed or pulled about, the wheels being trolley castors capable of swivelling in any direction. In its secondary rôle it really becomes a static toy because it is lifted up on end to become a seat.
