CAR-AD-CO COMPANY
Pelican City
Continued from: Pelican Pine Manufacturers
March 2, 1948: "A new company has been formed to handle the property and will be known under the name of Car-Ad-Co company, combining first syllables in the parent company name.
John F. Moehl has been named manager of the newly formed Car-Ad-Co company and is now in Klamath Falls, having arrived from Des Moines yesterday. Moehl has been assistant secretary-treasurer of Carr and Moehl company of Des Moines, Ia., one of Carr, Adams and Collier company's affiliated plants.
Purchase of Pelican Pine was made primarily for the lumber dry kilns on the property, officials said here today. This will allow Car-Ad-Co to buy the lumber cut of nearby sawmills, dry it properly and dress it for use at Carr, Adams and Collier in Dubuque.
The box plant on the Pelican Bay property may be used to cut some sash and door stock, and a molding machine may be installed to run stock molding patterns for Carr, Adams and Collier and its affiliated plants. Waste from this additional machinery will help to supply fuel for the dry kilns. Although a dismantled sawmill is included in this sale of property, no plan of putting it into operation is contemplated by the company.
Moehl pointed out that this purchase will in no way eliminate any of Carr, Adams and Collier company's regular sources of lumber supply, but rather will augment their present supply and help to assure a steadier flow of lumber to their plant, one of the largest in the world for the manufacture of sash, doors, cabinets and other built-in products.
Negotiations for the purchase of the property were carried on here by Paul L. Adams, vice president, and Charles H. Leik, lumber buyer of the Dubuque company." (Herald and News)
