Logging Index

Laurel, Miss., Nov 10 – The Lindsey Wagon Company, of Laurel, known nationally and internationally as manufacturers of eight-wheel log wagons, has found 1923 to be its banner year. The large factory here has been running to capacity all year and without one salesman on the road.

During the war, Lindsey wagons were shipped to Europe in large quantities for army use in logging there and so marked was the service rendered that the U. S. Government awarded this company with distinguished mention for its services. Hundreds of American doughboys became familiar with Lindsey wagons while in the forest service abroad and these, when many came back to America to enter logging camps have been the means of sending many an order to Laurel for eight-wheel log wagons.

Dr. S. W. Lindsey, founder of the Lindsey Wagon Co., on April 15, 1901, and still its executive head, may be called the father of the eight-wheel log wagon. During all these years he has deviated but little from his first successful wagon, making a standard product and changing it only as wagons of greater capacity have been demanded.

The greatest market for the Lindsey wagon has, of course, been in the forests of the south, but they have been shipped to all parts of the United States and of the world, wherever there is logging to be done. Lindsey wagons have gone to Australia, to England, to France, and other European countries, to India and to the Philippine Islands.

Service and quality have been the Lindsey motto. One price has prevailed and no attention has been paid to competitive prices. Prompt shipment of orders has been practiced from the beginning, whether for wagons or parts. An order received today is shipped tomorrow, and often on the same day in which the order is received. If any part of a wagon should prove defective, it is replaced, provided the buyer return the broken part with transportation prepaid. This cost is then refunded to the buyer. But defective parts do not occur often. The Lindsey factory system of inspection is too thorough.

The Lindsey Wagon Company also manufactures a skidder sold under the name of the Lindsey Self Loading Skidder and a large demand for this skidder has long been enjoyed. The company has no other side lines, content to give its entire energies practically to manufacturing the best eight-wheel log wagon that materials will produce.

Associated with Dr. Lindsey in the management of the business are two nephews; Sam Lindsey is in charge of production, and W. L. Fuller is in charge of sales.
