The Lusk Herald, May 28, 1936
Mr. McFarlane located in Lusk and for several years devoted his time to building sheep wagons, which were the pride of the sheepmen. These were the first well-built wagons in this section of the country and Mr. McFarlane prided himself in their construction. They were guaranteed to be water-proof, and contained a bed, cooking outfit, and the floor was inlaid with linoleum. The complete wagon sold for $285. The wagon contained but very few nails, Mr. McFarlane constructed the wagon with screws, bolts, and tacks. The floor boards were not nailed but screwed together. Practically all the wagons were in service at least 30 years, without having to be repaired.
