FROM THE ARCHIVES: "When this truck moved a load the engine must have been heard for miles. It is described as the first logging truck used in the Twin City area and the time is between 1916 and 1917 when this photo was taken in Centralia just north of Maple Street and on the east side of the Northern Pacific mainline tracks. In the background is the rear of the Wilson Hotel and a railroad water tower that stood on the east side of the hotel for years. Tower was later torn down and a new one built on Railroad Avenue just to the south. Even before it was well used. The age of diesel trains had arrived and it left the scene, too. The truck shown above was used to haul shingles and the occasion for the photo must have been the huge load. Photo is owned by George Pearce, Tumwater, a former Centralian. He is shown at the steering wheel, which was on the right side of the truck. With him is Dan Nye, who recently passed away at Shelton, and man standing is the late Leon Titus who operated a garage and in the city for years. Truck was used by Henry Balch, and Pearce's father, George G. Pearce. They were partners in a logging firm and hauled logs and shingles to railroad yards with massive truck." — originally republished by The Daily Chronicle Aug. 31, 1967
