Montgomery is favorably located for being one of the largest lumber marts
in the South, owing to her close proximity to the immense body of long
leaf pine in South Alabama, which, with good rail connections in operation
and in course of construction, will enable her to control any amount of
splendid yellow pine lumber for manufacturing into sash, doors, blinds,
etc. On all the rivers and streams in this section abound hard woods of
every kind, suitable for manufacture into furniture, wagons, tool handles
and for every variety of wood working. These can be laid down in
Montgomery at such a low cost that she is destined to become a great
center for wood working establishments.
