The boat building Industry Is fast
becoming one of large proportions In
Klamath Falls. A visit to the Tolford'
ft Son shops on the river front on
Conger avenue would soon convince
one of tho extent of this Industry.
Mr. Telford Is an expert boat builder
and be says that two years ago when
he first began 'buslnes la. Klamath
Falls, he only expected to work at
tho business at odd times and never
drcamod that thcro would be such an
extenslvo demand for uoats and
launches. Today l.o has a plant with
modorn equipment and with his son
is kept busy every minute of the tlmo
turning out orders.
They have constructed twelve gas
oline launches ranging In length from
,1C feet to 36 feot. Orders are now
on hand far In excess of any year at
this season. They aro now working
on a gasoline tender or tug boat for
tho Southern Pacific dredge.. They
also have an order for flvo row boats
for R. C. Spink to be placed on Spring
Creek. Mr. Telford states that he Is
unable to say how many row, boats
they have turned out, but toey have
bullt'a large number. They also have
several launches In the shop undergo
ing repairs and being rebuilt.
Every boat built by Telford ft Sou
has given perfect satisfaction and
they have put some speedy launches
on the water. A number of sew
row boats will be built this spring
and will bo kept for rental purpose.
They will also keep one or two gaso
line launches for rent. The pros
pects are that there will be a large
number of new launches built this
summer for use on tho river aad the
Uppor Lake.
