The Grenfell lumberyards were widely known as among' the cleanest, best-kept yards on the Coast, and had once been so honored with a handsome cash award given by a group of Oregon and California wholesalers. The dealer's policy was to invest a portion of the profits of his business in real estate, and in slack times homes were built on his properties and sold. Many Colusa homes today are on former Grenfell property and the town's growth is largely due to the vision and industry of the lumber dealer and his associates.
