In August of 1948, an unidentified employee of the I.W. Johnson Engineering Company, 601 East 11th Street, was photographed standing next to a new ban resaw built by the company. For approximately 40 years the I.W. Johnson Engineering Company designed and built sawmill equipment and machinery for any size business in the lumber industry. Under Irvin W. Johnson, the company had a long successful history of working with the leading lumber companies of Tacoma. Mr. Johnson died in 1973 at the age of 92; he had lived in Tacoma for over 40 years.
