North Texas Lumber Company
North Texas Lumber Company had a sawmill at Kildare. It is known that the Cass County timber supplied to this mill was shared by two other mills: the North Texas Lumber Company's mill at Linden and the Clark & Boice mill at Jefferson. The Kildare mill was similar to its sister mill at Linden, having around a 50,000 feet per day capacity and similar planers, kilns, sheds, and tramways. Not much else is known about the mill, however. The Southern Industrial and Lumber Review, echoing an article from The Gulf Coast Lumberman of June 15, 1915, reported on July 20, 1915 that the mill of the North Texas Lumber Company at Kildare had cut out and would be dismantled “at once.”
