The other company, Eddy Brothers and Company, Limited, will be described in a later issue The site of the White Pine Lumber Company's plant is one upon which there has been a mill for nearly three quarters of a century. In the early days, the lumber which the mill cut, was all secured from the country bordering upon the Blind River This has been changed, however, and a large percentage of the lumber which is now f awed at the mill of the White Pine Lumber Com- pany comes from the township of Gough, and back of Webbwood and has to be brought to Blind River by way of Georgian Bay This has rendered necessary the construction of a long mechanical conveyor which is a unique feature of the company s plant.
