Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company used
at least six McGiffert loaders in Bend. Here is an early shot of one of them in service in the early years of
B-S operations. Note the horse drawn high wheels that were used to skid logs to the landing. Photo is from the Mark
Reusser collection and is used with permission.

Another shot of the same
McGiffert. In later years Brooks-Scanlon re-built two of the machines, replacing the power and hoisting
equipment with a gas shovel and locomotive crane bodies in the process.
