With a pair of fine matching sorrel horses and one sturdy freight wagon, newlyweds Ed and Ethel Austin started one of the first freight hauling businesses in Lynden, Washington in 1906.
The company, called Lynden Transfer, delivered everything from sides of beef to the local mail. In addition, Austin made regular runs to Bellingham over roads so muddy that the 20-mile round trip often took all day and half the night.
 In 1921, Austin’s freight business entered the motorized age with the purchase of a two-and-one-half ton Mack truck. As the company grew, regular runs to Seattle were added, more trucks purchased and new drivers hired.
One of the new drivers hired by Austin in 1940 was Henry "Hank" Jansen. A few years later, Jansen and his partner, Walter B. Craig, purchased the growing freight company which would later become Lynden Transport.
