An Italian Immigrant Created America's Little Red Wagon! | Where's the Fun from?

Antonio Pasin changed the toy industry forever with his Little Red Wagon. A Radio Flyer wagon is one of those rare toys that grows with us. At first we are pulled along as passive participants, simply along for the ride. Once we can walk, we take the handle (and an active role in our wagoneering), pulling along anyone or anything light enough to lift, and small enough to fit inside. As we grew older and bolder, we turned the handle around and transformed our wagon into an airplane to pilot, or a horse to ride. This is the story of America’s Little Red Wagon. It's the Radio Flyer Wagons edition of WTFF? (Where's the Fun from?)
