"These photos of Skagit Steel & Iron Works are from a postcard printed in the 1920s. They show the new plant built in 1910 after the fire
at the original 'Puget Street' foundry site. By the time of these photos the McIntyre family had full control of the plant and they had made
it a manufacturing facility as well as a repair shop for logging camps and local logging railroads. David G. McIntyre and his son Sydney
had expanded production greatly from the early days, Sydney was patenting inventions and sales had spread around the world. Gas-driven
donkey engines in the Skagit 'M.A.C.' (Motor Appliance Company) product line had revolutionized logging."
