IVORY PINE LUMBER COMPANY
Bly
May 20, 1933: "The Ivory Pine company, owned by E.P. Ivory, who has moved to this city from Oakland, Calif., has taken over the sawmill near Pelican City owned by F. Hill Hunter and Richard Hovey, and will begin operations about the first of June, according to an announcement made Saturday.
The mill is now being reconditioned by the Sawmill Engineering and Construction company of Klamath Falls. The mill yard has been filled in during the time the plant has been idle, necessitating some of the changes to be made.
It is planned, Mr. Ivory states, to start on a one-shift basis, and will start two shifts as soon as conditions warrant. About 20 men will be employed in the sawmill at the start, and approximately 75 in the woods.
The mill, which is an electrically driven band mill, was last operated by Shaw-Bertram Lumber company, and has been a contributor to the industrial life of Klamath Falls for many years. It has a rater capacity of 40,000,000 feet per year, and has produces close to this amount for several seasons. The new operators, however, do not plan to cut in excess of 15,000,000 feet during the current season unless conditions change materially for the better, the manager states.
The Ivory Pine company is incorporated in Oregon, and will have headquarters at the mill in Klamath Falls. Temporarily, it will share offices with the Walker-Hovey company in the loomis building. E.P. Ivory, who has been associated with the lumber business in California and Southern Oregon for many years, will manage the new company." (The Evening Herald)

Then in the spring when WTC does smooth the road so it is passable the county and state allow the Ivory Pine company to use said road to haul logs over with no license or permits and when we do fix the road Ivory Pine is allowed to block and ruin said road so if you meet a truck, we'll take to the brush, as with a 10 foot Buick try and pass one on a 16 foot road.
It's about time the county does something about this road and not just promise or else there's liable to be h--- a poppin this fall. Respectively, William Jameson." (Herald and News)

September 17, 1948: "Ivory Pine lumber mill a principal industrial payroll in the Bly area since 1936, will pull out and move to Dinuba, Calif., this winter. Only two to three more weeks of sawing remain to be done at the present site.
E.P. (Pat) Ivory, owner of the company, said today he debated a long time before deciding to close his Bly operation but that he was running out of timber and had to quit. Recent timber sales, which have brought very high prices for national forest and Indian timber in that region, have seen Ivory Pine come in second in the bidding frequently.
The Bly operation has employed a maximum of 125 men and all present employes who want to move to Dinuba will be given job preference down there, Ivory said. He expects many of them to go along with the mill and consequently the town of Bly is going to suffer a loss of population as well as payroll.
The move south will take Pat Ivory back nearly to the place where he broke into the lumber business 25 years ago, as salesman for a Merced, Calif., mill. He came to Klamath Falls during the depression and took over what is known as the 'Boy Scout' mill at Pelican Bay.
In 1936 he bought out a small mill at Bly and organized the Ivory Pine company." (Herald and News)
