A Swedish Sawmill—Savenas, Sweden Some eight years ago a party of lumber manufacturers in Sweden came to Canada and established at Nordin, , Rexton, , Richi- bucto, and Head-of-Tide, , a number of sawmilling plants in which they carried out plans which had been carefully laid, for manufacturing Canadian lumber according- to Swedish methods and with Swedish machinery. In a recent issue of the Canada Lumber- man an interesting- article was published describing one of these plants at Nordin, To supplement this article and to give the readers of the Canada Lumberman a good idea of the equipment and methods of a Swedish sawmill, we are pleased in this issue to present illustra- tions of a description of a typical and successful plant in Sweden. The illustrations accompanying this article are of a saw mill situated at Savenas,^Sweden, owned by Savenas Aktiebolag. This mill was built in 1907 by one of the best sawmill architects in Sweden.
