ca. 1966. As the 1960s progressed, so did logging operations. Machinery became more modernized and more capable in picking up and moving logs. The above scene from an unidentified timber location demonstrates how many logs can be easily picked up by a large loader. The loader, running on probable rubber tires, would be able to transport the logs to the waiting truck.

1966 Scenes from Idaho pulp and paper mill. This is the pope reel of the #2 paper board machine. Paper from this machine was normally used in liquid packaging, i.e., milk cartons. Ice cream and butter cartons could also be produced from this paper. The paper board would later be coated with plastic resin to make it waterproof.

Workday scenes from Idaho paper and lumber industry. From October 24 to October 27, 1967, a Richards Studio photograph was present in Lewiston, Idaho, to photograph operations at the Potlatch Forests mill for use in the company's annual report. A variety of photographs were taken showing different aspects of the lumber and paper industry.

It appears that a giant log is carefully being barked by hand in a February 20, 1958, photograph. The Puget Sound Plywood employee is apparently using a long tool to lift the exposed layer. It is possible that this peeler will be used in the production of plywood. In that case, after barking, the peeler will be rotated in a lathe, removing strips of veneer. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

The figure of a logger is starkly outlined in black as he descends a spar pole. His steel tipped shoes assist in keeping himself steady. The belt circling the pole is used to keep him from falling. The spar pole has multiple cables that are used for yarding logs from surrounding strands of trees. This photograph was taken on September 12, 1958, in Port McNeil, British Columbia.

Scenes from Potlatch Forests, Inc., pulp and paper operations, Lewiston, Idaho. A kneeling employee of Potlatch Forests, Inc., examines one roll on the C-fold facial tissue line at the Idaho facility. There may have been 200 rolls running, extending the length of the September, 1964, photograph. As each roll would unwind around the rollers folding into a c pattern, it would run along the bottom and go through the saw house. They were cut down to size prior to being put into facial tissue boxes. This machine was later phased out as it was replaced by the I-fold machines that made the interfolding facial tissue. Photograph ordered by Malcolm McGhie, industrial consultant, New York. ALBUM 15. (Additional information on the C-fold facial tissue line & process provided by a reader)

In June of 1965, Douglas Tenzler was photographed standing next to a section of an old growth Douglas fir, almost 13 feet in diameter, which was installed outside of the new Flora B. Tenzler Memorial Library at 6300 Wildaire Road SW in Lakewood, one of the branches of the Pierce County Library system. The cross section of fir used to stand outside the entrance of the Northwest Door Company when Herman E. Tenzler was president of the company. The enormous old growth tree was cut on the company's timber holdings near Packwood in 1946. The log monument was officially unveiled on July 1, 1965, in a Lakes Summer Festival ceremony by its donor, Herman E. Tenzler. The library is named in honor of Mr. Tenzler's late wife.

One man saw set up at St. Paul & Tacoma, Olympia, ordered by Globe Machinery Manufacturing Co. of Tacoma. Photograph shows "skinner end with tilt lift tilted." The saw was used for cutting sheets of plywood. Globe Machinery was founded in the early 1900s by Jesse Bamford, an English immigrant. In 1917, when his son Calvin Sr. took over the business, he focused specifically on designing and manufacturing machines for the developing forest products industry. The firm designed hundreds of machines for high efficiency veneer, plywood and board production. The address listed on their letterhead is 701 East "D" St. The company maintained a plant at 301 East 11th St. from 1929-1988.
