Veneer Mill near Stockholm

Allen Quimby, Jr. established the Standard Veneer Company in 1902.  Logs hauled to the Quimby mills were made into a single ply veneer that was shipped to perforated chair seat manufacturers in New York. At its height in the 1910s, the Quimbly Company opperated three mills in Stockholm, including the one at left.

Though it was called the "pin mill,"in the 1920s the plant at left produced pick-pole and peavy handles, whiffle-trees, snowshoes and perforated chair seats as well as clothes pins.  When these various products proved unsuccessful, the plant was converted into a long lumber mill.
