ABSTRACT
The Iowa town of River City – which is fictitious but based on Mason City, Iowa – is excited when the Wells Fargo wagon comes to town. And why not! The Wells Fargo Wagon was an efficient way to get products in 1912. This song helps illustrate the benefits of new innovations. The newly emerging transportation system in the 20th century helped create new ways for products to be delivered. In 1912 Iowa, this meant receiving products delivered – which was more convenient than previous methods of obtaining products.
