Sulphur Timber & Lumber Company

J. S. Hunt, Manager


The mill located here is one of the golden industries in our midst.  Mr. J. S. Hunt is 
its manager and he is also identified with a number of other interests.  He was born 
in New Orleans and reared in Arkansas and entered into the mill business twelve 
years ago.  He is now concerned in the Winnfield Mercantile Company, also the 
new Furniture Store, besides owning good front property that will be improved in 
due time.  His elegant home, erected at a cost of $ 7,000, or more, is one of our 
landmarks.

At this time the saw mill is shut down but the planing mill is running and under normal 
conditions it employs 30 men and enjoys a capacity of  40,000 feet a day.  Mr. Hunt 
has made what he has in the mill business and is a most excellent man to have engaged 
in his line among us.
