The roaring
twenties was a decade that began with a sense of optimism and
a carefree spirit, and ended with the fall of the stock market
and the beginning of the Great Depression. But while many had
to figure out ways to make-do in a troubled America, Antonio
Pasin was on the way to revolutionizing his vision. |

Despite the rising
pressures of the times, Pasin and the Liberty Coaster Company pushed
forward, with the automotive industry as inspiration. Pasin began
using metal-stamping technology to produce steel wagons and
with his consistent eye for innovation, applied mass-production techniques
to wagon-making, creating the first wagon, "For every boy. For every
girl." These innovations earned Pasin the nickname, "Little Ford." |

The Liberty Coaster Line was established before the Radio Flyer Line,
which produced high quality, affordable wagons. Here is a glimpse
into the past with one of the very first advertisements. |

As times of the 20's grew tough, America, and American's
learned how to make do, or simply do without. But even in
tough times they dreamed of a better life for their children,
and continued to demand the basic value that Radio Flyer delivered.
