. Canadian forest industries 1916. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. 44 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER January 1, 1916 New B. G. Shingle Plant with Large Capacity The Shull Lumber and Shingle Company, Limited One of the largest and most modern shingle plants on the Pacific Coast was recently completed for the Shull Lumber & Shingle Com- pany, Limited, on the North Arm of the Fraser River at the foot of Boundary Road, the dividing line between the municipalities of South Vancouver and Burnaby, and distant about four and one-half miles south of the city of New Westminster. Construction work on the big plant was started in June, 1914, and continued until September 11th, when operations were discontinued for the winter owing to the unfavorable market outlook. On April 1st of this year work was resumed with all possible vigor, with the result that early in August the machinery was given a try-out preparatory to starting up one side of the double bank of upright shingle machines. The first ship- ment of three carloads of shingles was made to Montana before the end of the month, since which time all the machines, twenty in num- ber, have been cutting on a 10-hour schedule, the average daily out- put being about 700,000 shingles. The plant is equipped for twenty- four Sumner uprights, and with that number in operation the twenty- hour capacity of this fine plant may safely be placed at 1,350,000 shingles. Most of this enormous output is being marketed in the United States, where the company has a wide business connection, and with this object in view a sales office is maintained in Seattle, but the Messrs. Shull also look forward to a considerable trade with Ontario and prairie points, which will be handled by Manager H. A. Shull direct from the mill. Some of the Main Features The mill site comprises seven acres, the water frontage being 300 feet. The shingle mill is 74 x 215 ft. in size, there being two 16-ft.
