Sterling Wagon & Sled Works



The Sterling Wagon & Sled Works is owned by E.C. Bassett. Mr. Bassett came here in 1881, establishing a shop in the old Industrial building in Rock Falls, occupying section 4 of this building. Several years later he moved to this side of the river and is now located at the foot of First avenue. He manufactures the Sterling wagons and bob sleds, which are well known throughout this part of the State and Eastern Iowa.

During the summr months the shop has been running light, but the manufacture of sleds for the winter season has been commenced, and it is expected that a full force will be put on soon. Mr. Bassett is a practical workman and his work received his rigid inspection before it leaves the shop. As a result of this the concern has always enjoyed a good business and the confidence of the trade. Mr. Bassett derives power froma Charter gas engine, to propel his machinery.
