3 unusual facts about Finkbine-Guild Lumber Company


Finkbine-Guild Lumber Company

When the local timber supply dwindled, the company tried to utilize redwood trees from California, but that operation failed because of high transportation costs.

As their timberlands were being exhausted in Mississippi, the Finkbine-Guild Lumber Company planned to keep their Mississippi mills as re-manufacturing and finishing plants and feed them with California redwood.

In 1925, Finkbine-Guild bought the Cottoneva Lumber Company of Rockport, California near the Pacific Ocean.
