The Snider Lumber Company of Marshall, in Harrison County, has operated since 1928. It has been through a series of name change; currently it is known as Snider Industries, Inc. The Gulf Coast Lumberman carried an add in the November 1963 issue stating that Snider Lumber Company was a gang with kiln. It stated that it manufactured pine (loblolly) products. In May, 1969, the company announced that it had changed its name to Snider Forest Industries. The mill produced twenty-five million board feet in 1973.
Bob Curries' article in Texas Logger in 1993 revealed that Snider Industries was receiving its pine sawlogs from Robertson Logging of Ore City. In December 1993, Currie reported that “the lumber mill is a high-tech, high recovery operation. Merchandising of the timber is in-mill, so no sorting is necessary in the woods.” The mill produces lumber, chips, and shavings while using “wood waste” for generating electric power.
