ins, of this city. The mill is
ocated on the Greener place.
above Buxton, and for over 20
years Mr. Greener and his sons
have turned out the product that
heds the Oregon mist For
years and years they cut shingles
by hands in other words, turn
ed
out the "shaved" shingle.
iy this method they turned out
,000 M., at an average price of
$2.00 per thousand, which netted
them $8,000. They finally were
forced to install a shingle mill.
and since installation they have
turned out 8,000 M., which has
also brought them $2 per thous
and. This makes a sum of $16,000,
and with those cut by hand total
the neat little sum of $24,000 re
ceived for shingle cutting. And
still, Fred looks as hearty as a

tell a good anecdote.
The entire product would fill
sixty freight cars, and would
make two train loads of thirty
