The United Lumber and Export Company built this mill on the Neches River in 1901. Miller- Vidor bought the sawmill in 1905 and organized it under the name of the Beaumont Sawmill Company. The Southern Industrial and Lumber Review still carried United as the owner in its 1906 listing of Texas sawmills. E. H. Green, Jr., was the manager, and W. H. Harrington served as his foreman. The plant burned on January 5, 1918. Apparently the mill was rebuilt, for Miller-Vidor was reported to have a mill in Beaumont in 1927. The daily cut was 60,000 feet with a workforce of 250, including the woods crew. In 1928, it was still operating a company town. It was not listed in the 1934 edition of the Lumbermen's Credit Rating Book, October 1934.
A “Map Showing the Timber Possessions of the Miller & Vidor Lumber Co., of Galveston, Texas” is found in the October 1910 issue of American Lumberman.
