| Historicial Development: | F. W. Greer left Texas Tram to form the Texas Arm and Pin Company in 1899, which capitalized at $10,000. The organizers were D. Call, R. E. Kelley, R. A. Greer, and F. W. Greer. With offices in Beaumont, the company intended to build plants at Beaumont and Deweyville. The plant was not listed in the 1915 edition of the Directory of American Sawmills.
The Texas Arm and Pin Company located their Orange County factory at Ruliff during the early 1900s. It manufactured pins, poles, and cross arms. |
