TILLAMOOK LUMBER & MANUFACTURING CO.
Tillamook County - Tillamook
October 1, 1908: "Tillamook.---Several Tillamook citizens have made arrangements to rebuild the sawmill of the Tillamook Lumbering company, which was burned down last October, and have incorporated the Tillamook Lumber Manufacturing company for that purpose, with a capital stock placed at $10,000." (The Aurora Borealis)
August 19, 1909: "The Tillamook Lumber Manufacturing company's new sawmill in this city is turning out 50,000 feet of lumber daily most of which is being used for building purposes in and around Tillamook City. The company was organized by George B. Lamb, Carl Haberlach, H.T. Botts and Fred C. Baker, and the sawmill has an ideal location, being at the head of navigation and right in the heart of Tillamook county and city. It took over $40,000 for its site, buildings and machinery. The mill has two large high-pressure boilers, two engines, large circular sawmill and a pony mill, with planers, box machinery and dry kiln and employs about 30 men. It is entirely local capital at the back of the new enterprise.
Several shipments of spruce have been sent to Portland on the steamer Argo, which docks at the company's warehouse in Hoquarton slough. This is as far as steamers can go inland in Tillamook county, which is at the bridge on the road going north. The company has obtained the rights to boom logs on the east side of the bridge in Hoquarton slough, where several million feet of logs can be stored. A cut was made from the slough to the end of the log slip, the government dredge being used for that purpose. The Pacific Railway & Navigation company will run a spur from the depot along the waterfront of Tillamook City, the track running on the north side of the sawmill and through the company's lumber yard. This will give the Tillamook Lumber company railroad and shipping facilities on its own property. The new sawmill has given the city a steady monthly payroll of about $2000, and as soon as the local demand for lumber diminishes it will be in the market for export lumber." (Madras Pioneer)

April 4, 1913: "The Tillamook Lumber and Manufacturing Co. was sold yesterday to A. F. Coats of Seattle, who has associated with him O. A. and C. H. Schultz late of Aberdeen, Wash., and H. A. Franklin, formerly of this city.
O. A. Schultz will be general manager and have charge of the company. Mr. Schultz has taken active part in saw milling at Grays Harbor for the past fifteen years. He plans on starting the mill next Monday and run it continuously until the first of the year when it will be shut down for extensive repairs and improvements.
Mr. Schultz states that he will begin to stock up and carry several million feet of dry stock so as to take care of the local trade at all times.
The new firm will be called the A. F. Coats Lumber Company, and its headquarters will be at Tillamook City.
We are sure that the people of Tillamook City and county will heartily welcome the members of the new firm and that everything will be done to give them encouragement and assistance whenever it is needed. We should remember the slogan "Patronize Home Industry.' " (Tillamook Herald)
