Atlas Plywood Mill
 

In 1926, the Standard Veneer Company sold out to the Atlas Plywood Corporation.  Under this new management, the town earned the title "veneer city."

The Atlas mill is seen at left, with the pin mill on the right..

A reporter for the Bangor Daily News described the Atlas Mill as the largest plant of its type in the State.  During her visit, the reporter observed a pile of logs sixty feet high.
