GREEN VALLEY LUMBER COMPANY
3 miles south of Roseburg
Continued from: Universal Lumber Company
January 13, 1950: "Dave Kesner, bookkeeper and office manager for the newly formed Green Valley Lumber company, announced today the purchase of the Universal Lumber company by two local men and one from Eugene.
The Universal company, located three miles south of Roseburg on highway 99, has been leased and operated by the Crenshaw Lumber company since May of last year. It was recently purchased by Lloyd Crenshaw, formerly of the Crenshaw Lumber company; Henry Bailey, Walker Milling company; and Jack Kerr, Kerr Lumber company, Eugene.
The new Green Valley plant will function as a re-milling plant, surfacing up to 150,000 board feet of lumber daily when full production is reached. The company operates its own sawmill in Camas Valley and also buys rough stock from several small mills in this locality.
Kesner said extensive improvements are planned for the re-milling plant in the near future, including additional new equipment and increased yard facilities. A new office building is to be constructed in the spring.
When running at capacity, Kesner said a total of 50 men will be employed in the mill and planer." (The News-Review)
