June 14, 1969
Christening of the first completed Nomad Travel Trailer of Skyline Corporation's second facility in its new two plant complex, the Nomad Travel Trailer Division, was performed by 1969 Yamhill County Dairy Princess Janet Hess of Dayton Wednesday afternoon with a glass bottle of milk amid the workers who produced the first recreational vehicle for the firm. The unit is the first of a proposed four trailer line production schedule for the McMinnviIle plant. In addition to the Nomad line of recreational and travel trailers, three more lines will be built before the year ends. When under full production Nomad is expected to employ about 100 employees and produce 35 units per day.
