Carr Builders Supply
Sold To Florida Men
For the first time since l;
1912, Pisgah Forest will be «
without a Carr lumber busi
ness of some kind because
Frank Carr has sold Carr
Builders’ Supply, Inc.
The last of the several lum
ber interests of the Carr fami
ly, which began with the
founding of the Carr Lumber
Company by Louis Carr when
he bought the timber rights to
70,000 acres in what is now
Pisgah National Forest, has
now ended with the retirement
of Frank Carr.
The new owner, Jack Mass _
and Son, now Brevard resi- (
dents and formerly of Miami, j
Florida, will continue opera- t
tion in the same building af
ter renovation, new stock
ing and a new opening, wich
will take place in 30 to 60
days.
Mr. Mass is a Pennsylvania
native who grew up in Florida.
He was in the building supply
business there for 25 years be
fore coming to Brevard. Now
retired, he plans for the build
ing supply to be operated by
his son, Chips Mass, who will
be moved here from Miami
soon.
Says Frank Carr, regard
ing the sale:
“I want to thank the many
customers and the people
who have worked for the
Carr lumber interests. The
backbone of all these ac
tivities has been our faithful
customers and employees—
t.heir children and their
grandchildren. We’ve been
here that long.”
Frank Carr, elderst of the
9 children of Louis Carr, be
gin operating lumber busi
nesses in Pisgah Forest in
1945. Prior to that, he had work
ed in his father’s lumber mill
there — for many years the

At one time, the Carr Lum

sawed from 30 to 100,000
board feet a day. The lumber
was cut from 70,000 acres of
mountain land in what is now
Pisgah Forest; land which
belonged to George Vander
bilt from whom Louis Carr
bought the timber rights for
30 years in 1912. The timber
was reached by 75 miles of
