Scope and content
This St. Regis Paper Co. stacker was capable of lifting 60 tons. In this November 29, 1965, photograph taken in the company's new Tacoma dry-land log-sorting and storage yard, the stacker picks up a full rail-car load at one time and transfers the logs to storage decks which are classified by species and grades. The new facility was created on the harbor front by filling in a saltwater log pond between the sawmill and the kraft mill. A 15-acre log-sorting and storage yard was established on the 35-acre new addition; an L-shaped veneer mill and a stud mill were also built adjacent to the yard. Photograph ordered by Malcolm McGhie, industrial consultant, New York. (1965 St. Regis Annual Report, p. 12-13)
