John:

FYI, I think the Electric? you mention is Electric Wheel.  We had and still have one of those too.  They’re still in business under a different name: Titan Wheel.  So far as I know, they no longer make wagons, but do make a lot of steel wheels used in the ag., construction and forestry businesses.  Here is their web site:  https://www.titan-intl.com/wheels <https://www.titan-intl.com/wheels>.  Their plant I know the most about is in Quincy, IL and I think that may be the original location for Electric Wheel. They have been around since well before the turn of the 20th century. It is interesting to note that the name comes from the fact that they used electricity to weld wheels together.
