Description
Charles Kimball transporting a load of three-foot spool bars with a horse and sled in Lincoln on March 25, 1916. Kimball was traveling on the South Lincoln Road near the MacGregor Spool Mill. Founded by John MacGregor in 1875, the spool mill in Lincoln was sold to the Clark Thread Company of Newark, MacGregor's original employer, in 1918. After being cut into the bars shown on the sleigh, the white birch wood used for spools was left to dry outside before being further processed.
