Scenes from Idaho mill. Several long plywood boards wait to be wrapped by a Potlatch Forest employee in late October, 1967. He has nearly completed wrapping one in preparation for delivery. The Lewiston mill, pictured above, has been modernized and expanded several times. Potlatch Forests was founded as a company in 1903 as Potlatch Lumber Co.; one of its initial major investors was Frederick Weyerhaeuser. It merged with two other companies in 1931 and became Potlatch Forests, Inc., with headquarters in Lewiston, Idaho. John Philip Weyerhaeuser, Jr., was its first president. Potlatch moved its headquarters to San Francisco in 1965 and then to Spokane in 1997. It is now known as Potlatch Corporation. Photograph ordered by Malcolm McGhie, industrial consultant, New York, for 1967 Potlatch Forests annual report. (ir. potlatchcorp.com)
