Description: The factory at centre in the background, was incorporated in 1897. It produced veneer that was used to make light boards. These boards were exported to England, where they were used in rolling bolts of cloth. The factory was destroyed by fire in 1912. River-drivers work on the logs in the water at centre; a boom keeps the logs from floating away.
Date: c.1897-1903
