The Amazing Wallenski's Part Four
MAGIC RUGS RAILCAR #96
THE RUG MAN: SON, (he liked to be called SON) ran a family concession selling the amazingly popular......you know where this is going......rabbit fur rugs that featured magic theme images. All during his time selling the rugs, like all the other family's products, supply was never a concern. With their popularity and seemingly unlimited supplies (the WALLENSKI touch), he would also wholesale to other Carneys.
THE GREED:
As with the PROFESSOR'S magic rabbits, MAMA'S sausage meals, NIECE'S pop-ups and now SON'S magic rugs, all with unlimited supplies, they would now leave CARNIVALE and go National to profit using the rumored 'magic box' powers they possess to increase family wealth......not good......very not good.
LEAVING TOWN:
With strong disapproval among the other carneys of the WALLENSKI'S violating the magician's creed, with everything built on railcars, they would quietly connect to a passing midnight freight.......and roll into the darkness......and into next months, and final article......finally
QUANDARY:
Where will they turn up?, Do they have the Magic Box?, Are 'lucky rabbit foot' key chains next?, Where is the Ghost Box Car?, Will there be a surprise twist? Will everything be answered? Does anybody really care?
CATCH PHRASES:
Just sweep it under the rug
How's it hanging?
Shouldn't they be called magic 'carpets'?
Research found no photos of these rug sellers, so the diorama is representative of them.
The postcard image is of a typical roadside souvenir shop of an earlier period, but the first to market rugs along America's highways were the Navajo weavers.
