Historicial Development: The firm of Morrison, McClendon and Tingle had built a mill about two miles north of Sacul after the coming of the Texas and New Orleans to the area. It initially sent its rough lumber to Caruthers Lumber for planing. It moved to the Caro area by 1908, where it had earlier established a planing mill by 1906.
