BIG LUMBER PORJECT IS
BEING PROMOTED HERE
The Gloucester Lumber Co., of
Rosman, N. C., have bought the
timber rights for about 8 million
feet of timber in the Hogback
Mountain section of Greenville
County and a crew of men with
tractors and road machines are
building roads into the area. An
other crew has just completed a
big loading ramp at the depot in
Tryon.
The trees will be felled on the
mountain side and head waters
of South Pacolet River, and
“snaked” down with G. I. trucks
and hauled to Tryon. The trucks
will be driven right up on the
ramp where the logs will be rolled
off into a gondola freight car and
shipped to Rosman for sawing.
The ramp is about 96 feet long
and is built of oak, pine and
poplar logs, and floored with two
inch thick red hickory brought
from the mill at Rosman. 40
penny nails were used in nailing
the boards to the logs. The floor
must hold up tons of weight. From
one to two carloads of logs will
be shipped from Tryon daily be
ginning within a few days.
Amout 15 men will be used at
the start in cutting and hauling
the timber. This number will be
increased as the demand grows.
The company expects to finish the
job in about 6 years. Logs of
pine, oak, and poplar from 12 to
16 feet long and 12 inches in
diameter will be shipped.
The work here is in charge of
C. Hall, wood superintendent and
T. E. Brown, assistant superin
tendent, Corbitt Package Company
of Wilmington owns the land.
