Emporium Logging Logs Lumber Sawmill Timber
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Emporium Lumber Company in Childwold, New York State, USA, circa 1912. The image showcases the tranquil beauty of rural America during the 1910s, with logs floating gently down the river, surrounded by the lush greenery of the countryside. The company house, with its distinctive red roof and white clapboard siding, can be seen on the left bank of the river. The Emporium Lumber Company was a significant player in the local logging industry, and this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily operations of a bygone era. The logs, freshly cut from the surrounding forests, are being transported to the sawmill for processing. The water, which flows calmly around the logs, was an essential component of the logging process, allowing the logs to be easily maneuvered and transported to their destination. The trees, standing tall and proud in the background, represent the renewable resource that fueled the growth of the logging industry in New York State. The photograph also showcases the architectural charm of the company house, which served as a home for the company's employees and their families. The image captures the essence of a simpler time, when the natural beauty of the countryside and the industrious spirit of the American people were intertwined. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of the Emporium Lumber Company in Childwold but also a reminder of the important role that the logging industry played in the development of rural America during the early 20th century.
