Scheble Lumber Company trucks, displaying fresh cut logs, loaded
on ‘Federal’ trucks, with hard rubber tires at Wenatchee,
Washington Apple Blossom Festival, Spring of 1925.
I’m wondering if anyone remembers any of these pictures –
they must be from around Cando, North Dakota. Please write me if
you do!
Youth is vital to any show and is evident in the expression of
Melissa Rittenhouse cranking her Allis Chalmers in anticipation
while Pam Nolan in the background appears doubtful of the
outcome-but look at the other picture-the look on Melissa’s
face leaves no doubt that her cranking has been successful and she
is now ready to take Pam a ride around the grounds. This was at the
28th Annual Central States Threshermen’s Reunion and Horse Show
in 1976.
Pictured is a simulated race between a 5 HP Ottawa log saw, more
than 50 years old, and some 200 pounds with a modern three-pound
chain saw. Needless to say, the chain saw in actual operation cut
three times as fast and efficient as the Ottawa.
No description with this picture, but it looks like Wayne has
several pretty nice engines, perhaps you can identify them for your
own satisfaction.
