Biographical Note

Southwest Forest Industries, originally called Cady Lumber Company, was started in Flagstaff, Arizona [1924] by two Louisiana lumbermen. In 1935, the company was renamed Southwest Lumber Mills. The company was purchased in 1951 by a Texas business group headed by Jim Ben Edens. In the mid 1950's Southwest Lumber Mills bought out the Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Company. In 1960 the company changed names from Southwest Lumber Mills to Southwest Forest Industries. The company had several mill sites including Flagstaff and McNary, Arizona. From a total annual sales of $9m per year in 1951, the company grew to annual sales of $53 million by 1964.

Scope and Content Note

The collection is approximately 18 linear of business records including: correspondence; log scaling records; reports and research studies; minutes and meeting summaries; personnel records; newsletters and advertising literature; forestry maps; maintenance and equipment records; timber contracts; and company photographs.

This collection is best characterized as the working documents of the Southwest Forest Industries company, with the office files left in their original provenance arrangement. Researchers should be aware of the implications of this type of arrangement, unexpected relationships of materials within a given folder is the rule rather than the exception.

The collection contains significant amounts of data collected in the process of "scaling" the timber, as well as political correspondence and Legislative Bill proposals, and includes efficiency study data and other personnel related records. Notable political correspondence includes thank you notes from Carl Hayden, Steward Udall and Barry Goldwater. Research records, minutes from various organizational meetings, budget and finance projections, and contract information all form a significant portion of the collection. Researchers may find the forest unit maps helpful in confirming documentary data regarding the location and volume of timber cut.

The collection also contains Southwest Forest Industries company photographs, as well as early photographs (ca. 1925) of Cady Lumber Company operations (later Southwest Forest Industries). The Cady Lumber Company operations images are the same as those in the Mrs. Benton E. Snoddy Collection (NAU.PH.644.1), which can be viewed at the Northern Arizona University, Cline Library Special Collections and Archives Image Database, URL: http://www3.nau.edu/cline/collnamereferal.cfm?collection_name=Mrs%2E%20Benton%20E%2E%20Snoddy.
