LAMM LUMBER COMPANY - 1930's
February 28, 1930: “Fire destroyed the entire yard of the Lamm lumber company at Modoc Point with an estimated loss og $300,000, partly covered by insurance. The flames were difficult to fight on account of high wind, but its direction from the south saved the lumber plant, planing mill, kilns and houses of the employes.” (The New Era)
November 17, 1932: "A new box factory at the Lamm Lumber company of Modoc Point, started operations Monday with a three cut-off capacity, employing approximately 50 men.
The new factory machinery was installed in buildings at the sawmill, and is run in conjunction with other equipment of the Lamm mill which has operated at Modoc Point for several years.
The site of the box factory will be increased to a five cut-off capacity within another year. W.E. Lamm stated Wednesday evening. The factory will continue to run all winter, Lamm said.
Men previously employed by the lumber mill have been employed at the new factory." (The Klamath News)
