BIG CYPRESS MANUFACTURING
CENTER OF THIS STATE

About 10 miles east of Manning
the town of Gable was brought into
such prominence by the location Of
the big plant of the Black River Cy-
press company few years ago that
the large postal business from the
place attracted the attention of the
government officials to such an ex-
tent that about year ago the postal
authorities established postoffice at
this place.
1t is said the big plant of the COM
pany has capacity OF about 10000
feet of manufactured lumber a day
when running at full capacity and
that between 400 and 500 men are
employed in all departments at the
mill, yards and in the woods.
Millions of feet Of lumber are in
stock. This great cypress manufac-
turing center Of the state of South
Carolina has not escaped the handi-
cap offs scarcity Of labor in it's busi-
ness which is being experienced in
nearly all lines of industry in this
state.
G. P. Gable, from whom the town
acquired its name, is the head and
efficient manager of this colossal en-
terprise. The company has a large
reserve of timber from which to stock
its mill for some years to come.
The place has all the appearances
of q big saWmill town with it's largo
boarding and company houses for
the men employed in the mapufacture
of lumber. Various lines of mcrcan
tile businesses are carried on here
and the place presents one of the
busiest centcrs in this section of the
state, and is rapidly growing into a
larger commercial and residential
town and new building operations
are going rapidly forward to supply
accommodations for the people locat-
ing here.
