Historicial Development: | The Aldridge Lumber Company appeared in the January 1907 published records of the Lumbermen's Credit Association (LCA) as manufacturers and wholesale lumber dealers at Brookeland, Sabine County. This was an erroneous entry by the LCA, for no other historical records have confirmed its claim. |
