Scope and content
This group of loggers appears dwarfed by the size of the freshly cut peeler log which has already been loaded onto a truck. This giant Douglas fir, and others, would be displayed in a procession through Bellingham's streets on November 27, 1954. Georgia-Pacific Plywood Co. had sponsored a fleet hauling many giant logs; each log would contain enough plywood to be used in forty average homes. The plywood industry was still very much an economic force during the 1950's as the construction boom continued both here and nationwide. Photograph ordered by Georgia-Pacific Plywood Co.
