| TEXT | This Company are large dealers in lumber and railroad ties which is a specialty in their business. Last year the demand for their standard oak ties was very large. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company handling over a half million. They are also largely interested in the manufacturing of North Carolina pine lumber, which is now taking the place to a very large extent of white pine for building purposes. They have two very large mills in North Carolina, that are now manufacturing lumber for this special trade. It is only a few years ago that this lumber had only a value for box purposes, but since the drying kilns have been introduced the lumber is now extensively used for flooring and finishing work. This class of lumber is now being extensively used throughout the eastern market and much of it is being shipped to the western country. The Company also handle pine ties which are received from further Southern States, viz: Georgia and Florida. Some of our railroad companies are using them instead of the oak ties. They are selling a little less in price than the standard oak ties. They also handle considerable pine wood which is purchased by dealers for kindling purposes; this is received in the City of Philadelphia from vessels that come from the State of Virginia. The mills of the Company are located, one at Rosebay and the other on the Atlantic Coast Line, Martin County, N. C. Mr. McNaughton was born at Juniata, Perry County, Pa. He is the President and Treasurer of the Company, and is also an honored member of the Masonic order, Crescent Lodge 493. His nephew, Mr. Moss, is Vice-President, and Mr. W. F. Bane, Secretary. The business has been established since 1868 in the City of Philadelphia, and their sales last year amounted to between 500,000 to 600,000. The Office of the Company is located at 216 South Third street. |
