Twin City Lumber Company

The Southern Industrial and Lumber Review noted in April 1904 that the Twin City Lumber Company of Texarkana incorporated with a capital stock of $25,000. Twin City Lumber bought the planing mill of J. B. Hubbard and Louie Kosminksy at Texarkana in 1904 for $5,200. Property included a steam engine, a boiler, a planer, and a pony planer.
In 1905, the company was buying land adjacent to the tracks of the Texarkana & Fort Smith. It is unknown if this was the predecessor to the Twin City Lumber & Shingle Company reported in 1928 by the Southern Lumberman's Directory of American Saw Mills and Planing Mills.
Nacogdoches County records note that Twin City Lumber was owned by R. L. Trigg and W. W. Welch of Texarkana. The company owned several thousand acres about two miles south of Martinsville along the Attoyac River in eastern Nacogdoches County. It sold all of its tracts of timber in Nacogdoches County to Claud Field of Missouri in February 1907.
