The Chas. X. Spaulding Logging
Co., with it's principal offices and
largest plant located at Salem, is
one of the biggest manufacturing
and industrial enterprises in West
ern Oregon. A brief enumeration
of it's various plants will convince
anyone of the truth of this state
ment. The Capital City people point
with great deal of pride to the To-
cation of this enterprise in their
midst. The presence of a manufac-
turing plant that can furnish every
thing in the way of building ma
terial, is tremendous factor in the
building of a greater Salem.
The fuel supply from the refuse
of these mills enables thousands of
families TO get cheap fire wood.
Among the enterprises projected in
this city, are another electric light
and power plant, and steam heat
ing plant, both of which will be
made possible from the waste of
