MISH, Miss., Jan. 27th, 1902.

Lindsey Wagon Company, Laurel, Miss.:

GENTLEMEN—We have been using your wagons here about one year, and find them far ahead of any wagon we know of for hauling logs. We do not think our repair bills are over one-half as much as with the four-wheel wagon. The loads are largely increased with the same team.

Yours very truly,

C. J. WELCH & Co.

Lindsey Wagon Company, Laurel, Miss.:

GENTLEMEN—With reference to your eight- wheel wagons, will say: We have used two of them for the past six months and find them to be far ahead of any rig we have ever used for hauling logs during the writer’s experience of thirty ‘ears’ lumbering.

We would cheerfully recommend them to lumbermen as an ideal wagon for business.

Yours truly,

Lindsey Wagon Company, Laurel, Miss.:

GENT to your favor of the 8th inst., we are pleased to say that we have three of your log wagons, and as compared with the value of other wagons for logging purposes, we regard them as at least 33 1-3 per cent, better than any other vehicles on the market. You can figure from this basis the length of time for this increase to pay for the value of the wagons. With regard to the advantages over other wagons and carts in getting around through the woods, we fail to see any great difference in this respect, or if there is any difference, we should say that it would be in favor of the carts. But the great advantage which your wagon has, in our opinion, over carts or any other style wagon we are acquainted with, is for road purposes. We find them equally good for operating in hilly or low ground and are pleased to be able to give you this estimate of our opinion of your wagons.

Yours very truly,

THE D. C. BACON Co.,

Lindsey Wagon Company, Laurel, Miss.:

GENTLEMEN—Replying to yours of the 11^th inst., beg to say that we are now using six of your eight-wheel log wagons, and they are giving us entire satisfaction, and we can haul from 25 to 50 per cent, more with them than we can with four-wheel wagons and carts, and at this rate they will pay for themselves in three to four months. We also find that we can get about through the woods and make about as short a turn with them as any other wagon. We expect to use the eight-wheel wagons exclusively as fast as we can get rid of what four-wheel wagons we have on hand. Yours very truly,

Lott & PERKINS LUMBER COMPANY,

L. L. DENSON,

Dealer in General Merchandise and Lumber.

BAY SPRINGS, Miss., Jan 13, 1904.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am using at Bay Springs three of the Lindsey Wagon Company’s eight-wheel wagons. I consider these worth in any logging operations twice the number of any four-wheel wagon or cart equally well teamed.

To fully appreciate the great advantage of this wagon over any other means of carrying logs it is necessary to see it in operation. It requires less swamping, passes over obstructions with less strain and jerk, can turn in woods either loaded or empty, in less space, will carry twice the number of logs with the same team, and requires less repair, than anything with which I have ever seen logs hauled.

It gives the same efficient service whether on hilly ground or in swamps

Yours truly, L. L. DENSON.

General Offices: Pittsburg, Pa.

BABCOCK, GA., Jan. 13, 1904.

Lindsey Wagon Company, Laurel, Miss.:

GENTLEMEN—We take pleasure in saying that we have recently put in one of your eight-wheel wagons and one of your two-wheel skidders or log loaders, and believe that your eight-wheel wagon is the best on the market for hauling short logs, especially. We mention short logs as we have tried it hauling this class of logs. We figure that we can carry 25 per cent, larger load on this than a four-wheel wagon, as the weight is evenly distributed, which, of course, gives us greater bearing and they do not sink in the ground as a four-wheeler does. We have no difficulty in making short turns; in fact, will say that it has proven much better than we thought it would, and as our four-wheelers give out we expect to replace them with your eight-wheelers.

Yours respectfully,

BABCOCK BROTHERS LBR. Co.

KESTLER, GA., Aug. 5, 1903.

Lindsey Wagon Company, Laurel, Miss.:

GENTLEMEN—In regard to the eight-wheel wagon, we regard it as the ideal wagon for the lumbering business. We are hauling at least one- third more logs on your wagon every day than on the four-wheel wagons or log carts.

It is easier to load them than the four-wheel wagons and is easily handled in the woods.

With best wishes for your success, we are,

Yours,

BOYD-MCDAVID LBR. Co.,

FINKBINE LUMBER COMPANY,

Manufacturers of Long Leaf Yellow Pine.

WIGGINS, Miss., Jan. 11, 1904.

Lindsey Wagon Company, Laurel, Miss.:

GENTLEMEN -- In reply to your letter of the 9th inst., will say that we are using eighteen of your eight-wheel logging wagons and have found them very much superior to anything we have ever used in the way of logging wagons. They are very much superior to the four-wheel wagons and equally so over the two-wheel logging wagons. I cannot give you the exact percentage of increase as we have never used but one four- wheel wagon and that only for three days. It was a wagon that came to us second-hand and we abandoned it at once. We find that we can get through the woods very easily with your eight- wheel wagons, making short turns and going over obstructions it would be impossible to go over with a four-wheel wagon. We are logging on all kinds of ground, hilly, level and swampy, and they do equally as good work in proportion on one as on the other. In fact, we would have nothing other than an eight-wheel wagon for logging purposes in this country.

We cannot recommend them too highly to loggers, where logging is done in the manner in which it is done in the South, especially so if it is done with teams. When in the market we would not consider anything but an eight-wheel wagon.

Yours truly,

FINKBINE LUMBER COMPANY,

Per W. E. GUILD.
