March 25, 1943: "Starting last week, Harold Brewold, manager of the Brewold Pine Co., started tearing down the mill in the rear of the American Legion hall and it is being moved to a new location, about three miles south of Takilma.
Many new innovations and improvements have been incorporated into the new mill, and when completed it will cut approximately 20,000 board feet a day, while the old mill cut only 12,000 board feet.
Another Diesel engine is being installed which will operate the edger, trim-saw, conveyors and a new blower to take care of excess sawdust.
H. S. Thorp is manager of logging operations and has helped considerably in building the new mill, many of the new innovations being his. He has had wide experience in this line and has been a very valuable asset in constructing the new mill.
Seven men will be employed at the mill and six in the woods with one truck driver hauling lumber. It is hoped to have the mill running by the first of April." (Illinois Valley News)

Harold put on an exhibition of swimming form last Friday evening at his mill when he encountered a log jam in the pond there. Not content to go out and break it up in a business-like manner, Harold had to go into a dance. He danced around from log to log for a while in an attempt to regain his balance, finally decided, 'Oh, the heck with it,' and plopped into the water.
When Harold's head appeared at the water's surface, he sagely announced to the world in general, 'I suppose this will be in the paper!'
Well, news is news, we always say, and we suppose Harold is right." (Illinois Valley News)
