By 1916, Skagit Steel became the preferred place to work. Leo Becraft quit the veneer plant that year and did not retire until 1964, setting the seniority record. Jack Hebert started two years later and retired around the same time that Becraft did. After rocky years during the Depression, much of the nucleus of the work force stayed with the company for 20-30 years. An article in the May 14, 1916, Seattle Post Intelligencer shows another new product: the gas-powered jitney bus manufactured by the company. The product was snapped up by many school districts and transit systems in smaller cities, even though one of the three photos showed what happened when the bus collided with a train just as it was leaving Clearlake with a load of passengers, none of whom were injured. The bus was built on a Model-T chassis but stretched with a Skagit Steel "truck attachment," much as limousines are stretched today.
