SWORDS LUMBER CO.
An Industry that is Fleurishing and Prosperous


An article relating to any of Bridgeport's
prominent industries is always OF interest to
the public. Through the courtesy OF William
c. Haight, the Post is able to place before its
readers description of the immense plant of
the w. II. swords Lumber Co.
The buildings and yards of the above firm
cover an area of nearly seven acres, on both
sides of East Washington avenue. As you en-
ter the yard ON the south side of the avenue,
you will pass between great piles of lumber
OF all descriptions, all sizes and from almost
every State In the Union. There is the spruce
and pine of Maine and Canada, the yellow
pines and other woods from the South and
the harder woods of the Southwest. Every IA
cility Is at hand for moving, sorting and stor-
ing the lumber; in fact II visit to the place
will convince anyone that the company has
what is claimed for it, the largest and best
plant In the New England States.
The company has over 1000 feet of water
front and seven vessels can easily be unload
ed Mt one time. AT present, there is u
steamer from Georgetown, s. c., which is III
loading 100000 of the famous cypress shingles,
which are warranted to wear three times as
long as the old pine shingle. This company
was the first on the New England coast to
have cargo OF cypress shingles shipped to
them.
On the north side of Washington avenue are
the large shops OF the company, in which are
manufactured doors, sashes, blinds, mantles
of hard and soft wood and everything that is
used in building a house, be it a humble cot
tage for the working man or the lordly pal
ace of the retired railroad king. The most
noticeable thing in these buildings is the lat
est improved machinery and the fact that
there is absolutely no waste; everything is
utilized. The shavings and sawdust are used
for fuel and scrap wood is sold for kindling
wood. The company employs about 1870 men
and Is teams are kept busy all day. In the
yard, there is a side track that will hold sew
en- cars and they are going and coming all the
time. ,-..
The firm at present is w. G. Haight, C. j
Knapp, +. II. Bassett and E. d. Alvord. Since
these gentlemen have had complete control
the business has increased to enormous pro
portions. They are all lively, energetic young
men and they intend to keep their business
up to the highest possible standard.-[B Bridge

right to change the location so greatly.

new location and there's no use disput-
ing it. 1t is now said that the Bogart
house is to be used for one station, the
barn for the freight depot and the old
building brought up for the other sta
ton. Many Green's Farms people say
they are simply Disguised.

Sherwood, who is a powerful man, seiz-
ed the horse and, despite the efforts OF
the driver, who lashed it with all his
might, succeeded in OBTAINING the team
until Mr. Tomlinson got his own horse
and came to his assistance. The fellow
then jumped from the wagon and, as Mr.
Tomlinson approached, fired pistol at
him when only few feet distant; then
ran and escaped in the darkness, leaving
the team. The ball from the pistol for
tunately struck a button on the breast
of Mr. Tomlinson's coat and glanced off
only tearing an ugly looking hole in the
edge of the coat. Officers were immedi-
ately notified and it is hoped the team
may lead to the Identification of the driv-
er. Messrs Tomlinson and Sherwood de-
serve great credit for the promptness and
bravery of their action.
