| Historicial Development: | The A. Anderson sawmill operated for twelve months during the census year ending May 31, 1880. It was valued at $10,750. Anderson employed fourteen to twenty men and paid them $1.25 to $4.00 for eleven-hour shifts daily. He paid out a total wage of $5,000. The sawmill produced 2,500,000 board feet valued at $20,000 from $11,000 in sawlogs and supplies. The Anderson sawmill was the most valuable mill in Cass County in 1880. It was also paid some of the best wages in the county. The American Lumberman, in a biographical piece in 1900, noted that the firm of Anderson & Rand had operated a 20,000-ft tie mill at Galloway on the Texas & Pacific from 1882 to 1887, indicating that A.Anderson and Ed Rand had joined forces to supply the tie needs of the railroads. |
