"Gronddoddy" Ccrrrier Srill Going Strong ot George Windeler Co., Lfd.

What is believed to be the oldest carrier still in operation in Northern California is still paying its way at the big tank, cooling tower and millwork plant of ,George Windeler Co., Ltd., San Francisco.

The venerable ancient, which has been in operation at the Windeler plant since 1940, is a L925 Ross Carrier, Model 11B, with a carrying capacity of 14,000 lbs. (right, above). Prior to joining the Windeler family, it had been "earning its gasoline" with Gamerston & Green Lumber Company.

Although the Windeler Company probably has this oldest carrier still in operation, it also has one of the newest. Just a few months ago, the Windeler Company added a brand new 1955 Clark Ross Carrier with a 10-ton carrying capacity to its lumber handling fleet (left, above).
