A little History on the Company:
"The company was one of the first and largest timber-cutting companies in Illinois and the largest employer in Southern Illinois from the 1890s until the 1950s. It was the timber turned into wood containers and boxes that helped build the village of Karnak. The brothers began by manufacturing fruit jar containers and then White Tupelo egg cases."
