Summary[edit]

Description

Photo contributed by Jean Armstrong. Unknown date of photo. Pictured are men and trucks at the Tweed Plant. The planing mill originally located at the Massanoga mill (north end of Mazinaw Lake) was re-located to Kaladar where it could also dress the lumber shipped in by rail from the company's other operations in Renfrew County.

Challenged by cheaper lumber being shipped into Ontario by rail from the huge lumbering operations in British Columbia, by 1958 Sawyer Stoll was forced to sell its Kaladar mill and consolidate its operations in Tweed. Four years later Sawyer Stoll closed the Massanoga mill. Several years later a partial recovery in the Ontario market saw the start up of operations again but in 1975 a fire destroyed the Massanoga mill. It was replaced by a portable mill for a few years but eventually the operation was relocated in Eganville to the north where the firm had purchased timber rights.
