Reference information:
Jeżeli jechało się karetą, to do jej dachu dopasowana była waliza, która miała dokładny wymiar dachu, wysokości mniej więcej 40 centymetrów, którą przywiązywano rzemieniami. W takich walizach mieściły się na płask ułożone ówczesne długie, szerokie, falbaniaste suknie i bez zgniecenia dojeżdżały do celu. Takie walizy nazywały się „wasze”
