Webster L. Marble went to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in the early 1890’s and quickly gained the reputation of being one of the region’s finest “timer cruisers”. His uncanny ability to look at a specific forest acreage and predict the board foot yield made him very popular with the many logging companies in the area. Marble loved the outdoors and the vast Upper Peninsula offered innumerable opportunities to hunt, fish, camp and explore the environment. An inventor by nature, he was continually seeking to create useful tools and equipment that would be both practical and durable in the outdoors.
