A century ago, it was "Westward Ho" to the fabulous country of the West. On December 3, 1849, Andrew J. Pope and Frederic Talbot set up business in San Francisco to engage in lumber and trading. Four years later, the first sawmill was producing lumber at Port Gamble, Washington. In rapid succession, timber holdings were acquired, other mills built and soon a fleet of ships were carrying Pope & Talbot lumber to ports of the Seven Seas. In the span of 100 years, Pope & Talbot have been progressively identified with the growth and development of the West Coast.
Today, direct descendants of the original founders, actively manage the firm of Pope & Talbot, Inc., which comprises vast timber holdings, three large sawmills-a creosoting plant and a fleet of modern cargo vessels with customers throughout the world. Participating in our progress are 2228 eoworkers-men and women of experience, initiative and ability--enabling us to produce Douglas Fir lumber that is properly milled, properly graded and properly handled. We look forward with confidence to another century of growth and progress,
