I. T. Garrett and R. E. Causey operated the Center Manufacturing Company shingle mill in at least 1907-1908. In June 1907, Garrett and Causey, for $150, mortgaged to S. F. Ownes for a manufacturing plant, with “all turning lathes & saws, gasoline engine, [and] all cutting machinery of Center Manufacturing Company.” In September of 1908, for $540, they mortgaged to I. F. Miller for a shingle machine and all the pine lumber on H. M. Beauchamp's land, about one mile southwest of Center.
