December 14, 1920: "L. D. Parks reports that the Parks mill at Pine Flat closed for the season December 10, after cutting 3,500,000 feet of lumber for the season. While the mill has only 18,000 feet a day capacity its season's production, Mr. Parks says, leads most of the 20,000 foot mills. The Parks mill started earlier and closed later in the season than other mills.
This was the first season's cut for the Parks mill. The timber supply at the present location is nearly exhausted and the plant will be moved next spring. It has not been definitely decided where the next location will be." (The Evening Herald)
