The Adams Lumber Company was formed in 1946 with a site three and a half miles north of Conroe on Highway 75. The company was constructing a sawmill with plans to later erect a planing mill. The daily cutting capacity of the sawmill was to be 25,000 feet. The original incorporators of Adams Lumber Company were W. H. Phillips and O. F. Adams, both of Nacogdoches, and C. C. Lipe, Jr., of Huntsville and formerly of Conroe. O. F. Adams improved his equipment when he purchased on March 16, 1951, from J. E. Brown a Woods planer, a shed, one office, a diesel engine, an International tractor, and three wagons.
This lumber company appeared in the 1957 edition of Nelson T. Samson's Directory of Wood-Using and Related Industries in East Texas as the O. F. Adams Lumber Company
