| Historicial Development: | William G. Farrington owned a portable sawmill outfit, which he kept at the Prince Lumber Company in New Caney. Farrington probably sold his rough cut to Prince Lumber. His equipment included a Hill 3-saw edger with roller, an automatic model M gas engine, a water tank, a portable sawmill, and a Curtis carriage with tracks and skidway.
Farrington sold the outfit to Chester Harris in 1946. Harris defaulted on his note to Farrington, who foreclosed on Harris and repossessed the equipment. |
