Scope and content
ca. 1920. Early peeler logs, big and plentiful, are hauled by rail to the Sedro Box and Veneer Co. plant at Sedro Woolley, Washington.The twenties were the high point for the Sedro plant as timber was plentiful and cheap and the production of plywood panels was in its pioneering stage. Door and automobile companies clamored for the panels and business soared. The Sedro plant was destroyed by fire in 1924 and never rebuilt, but its founding members went on to serve with other plywood companies. ("The Plywood Age" by Robert M. Cour)
