Logging Index

The immense loads of cotton so generally commented on by the Mississippi and Louisiana press last fall were without exception hauled on the Lindsey wagons.

They are capable of carrying an enormous load -- 20,000 pounds having been successfully hauled many miles -- and the body of the wagon is low enough to permit easy loading. Because of the bearing surface of its eight wide wheels bogging is well-neigh obviated. The principal feature of the wagon, however, is its flexible truck, capable of adapting itself to uneven grades. It is this that reduces the draught 40 per cent.

Despite the fact that such unusual care is displayed in the selection of materials, and in spite of the wagon's superiority, which is instantly acknowledged wherever one is used, the Lindsey Wagon Company, although owning the patents which give them the right to exclusive manufacture, sell their wagons for less money that is asked for any other representative log wagon.

The officers of the Lindsey Wagon Company are: S. W. Lindsey, president and general manager; T. G. McCallum, vice president; John Lindsey, assistant general manager; W. F. Rumble, secretary-treasurer.

To S. W. Lindsey must justly be ascribed the rapid growth into importance of this manufacturing business. Possessed of executive ability and a capacity for detail, he has been the guiding spirit in the remarkable progress so far made. Mot a scintilla of doubt exists in his mind as to the future magnitude of this manufacturing industry, and The Chronicle ventures to say that probably few readers of this article fail to share in this belief. Mr. Lindsey is as much interested in the plant today, in watching every period of construction of its output, and in directing its business extension, as he was hen one wagon a month was the result of his efforts. The name of Studebaker is synonymous with good wagons all over the world, and while occupying a different field, is it not reasonable to expect, taking into consideration the enormous number of possible patrons, that the name of Lindsey may yet be equally prominent. The Chronicle certainly thinks so.
