Description: |
| An ad From the 1908-12-15 Lumber Trade Journal features "Martins Grip Hooks for log loaders". The ad is from Lufkin Foundry & Machine Co. The 1921-11-05 "The Southern Lumberman" has an ad from the Riechman-Crosby Co., Memphis, Tenn., for "Martin's Grip Hooks for steam log loaders / Self-Releasing, Renewable Points / Will Not Tear Out". The ad says that Riechman-Crosby was an agent.An article at the Bullock Museum website (see link below the patent images on this page) says that "Martin established his own company to manufacture the hook, which he patented in 1907. The Martin Grip hook became an essential tool for mechanical log loading across the southern and western U. S. Unable to keep up with demand, Martin sold his hook patent in 1910 and started the Martin Wagon Company to produce his next patented success story, an eight-wheeled log wagon." |
