Canton Lumber Company

Welcome to this week's SCDL Tree Talk Tuesday. Today we are showcasing this great photo that we recently aquired. While we don't know who the individuals are in the picture, we do know that it was probably a "float" that was used for the July 4th Parade in 1913 in Canton, Ohio. 
The Canton Lumber Company was organized in 1901, with the office and yard being located at 601-613 E. North St. (which is now 6st. NE). In 1929 the company went into receivership.
