| Description: | Spokane's Union Iron Works foundry produced dozens of log branding irons for timber businesses, like Eller Lumber Company of Newman Lake, WA. Each company branded its timber for identification before hundreds of logs converged at regional sawmills. This region's vast forests supplied timber for mine shafts, railroad ties, agricultural boxes, and for building communities - both locally and exported. |
