Provenance |
Butler & Wagner was a company that built sleds for logging companies. Their prices ranged from $420 to $870. Their crew would come into logging camps and build the sleds. Logging sleds are used to make transporting heavy machinery, such as steam donkeys, easier. The Powell River Company merged with MacMillian Bloedel in 1959 and became known as MacMillan Bloedel & Powell River Ltd. |
