Oxford Jet landmark vanishes as hayloader factory torn down
Cacil Cubbage Jr has purchased and begun tearing down the Lasack Hayloader factory in Oxford Jet to use the land for a used car lot. The 1891 building housed the Oxford Hayloader produced by Adolph Lasack and partners, once employing about 20 workers and turning out over 5,000 loaders before production ceased. The original model remains in the Lasack attic as the site is cleared.
