Historicial Development: | The Bering Manufacturing Company of Houston was operating a lumber manufacturing concern at Moscow in 1905. It was not listed in the LCA rating in 1907. This operation may have been a short-time outlet for the major Bering plant at Valda, or Bering Switch, in Polk County. |
