This company was known to be in business in 1923 through 1941, and probably for longer. It the later years of that range they were making circular sawmills, edgers, and bolt and screw machinery.

Information Sources

  • The U. S. Forest Products Laboratory published a booklet dated March 1936, Operating small sawmills, methods, bibliography, and sources of equipment by C. J. Telford. A table lists the makers of various types of equipment, including circular sawmills, band sawmills, edgers, and planers. This company was listed as a maker of circular sawmills and edgers.
  • A patent search from 1920 onwards revealed three patents assigned to this maker. The first two were from 1923 and 1924 and were for machines unrelated to woodworking. The third patent was granted in 1937 and was for a portable sawmill carriage.
