Description

This postcard features a color image of the Band Saw Mill at the Tallahatchie Lumber Company in Philipp, Mississippi. Buildings, tracks with carts on them, and trees. An advertisement is printed on the back of the card that reads "This month we give you a picture of our up-to-date Band Saw Mill: this mill is equipped with a 12-inch band saw and a 12-inch band re-saw, 5 saw gang ledger and a 9 saw equalizer and the mill is so arranged as to produce the maximum amount of first class manufactured lumber with the minimum amount of labor. Our Gum lumber is carried by chain conveyers to a vat where it is treated with a soda solution that eliminates to a considerable extent sap strain so that our sap lumber is comparably free from stain. We cordially invite you to visit the “Sunny South” and inspect the plant of the Tallahatchie Lumber Co., Philipp, Miss. Stock direct from manufacturer to consumer.”
