Saw Mill, Stockholm, ME. 4
View of Box Mill, Veneer Mill (at left), and Clothes Pin Mill (at right) in Stockholm. Also visible is the original bridge, which washed out in the 1916 flood. In 1902 the Standard Veneer Company purchased 20 acres of lots. By the time 1904 came they were shipping two cars of product each week. The company also ran a starch factory from 1904 though 1909. Later it was converted to a Box Company that made cleated plywood boxes for phonograph companies. Another company was built to make clothes pins, peavey and pick–pole handles, whiffle–trees, snowshoes and perforated chair seats. Then it was a lumber mill. This company also had its own store called the Veneer Hall which was used for movies and dances and meetings and church services.
