Description
Several Friend and Terry employees pose on and around a tricycle tractor and three trailers piled high with lumber. Founded in 1851, the lumber company lasted 112 years, closing in 1963. It drew most of its raw materials from the Coos Bay region of Oregon, where it also built ships. Up until 1920 and the eventual use of automobiles for transport, the company sailed lumber from Oregon to San Francisco, then up the Sacramento River by way of steam tug. Friend and Terry moved from Second Street to 1920 Front St. at roughly the same time this photograph was taken.
