| Contextual Notes | The Coos Bay Lumber Company was preceded by the C.A. Smith Lumber Company, which was established by Charles Axel Smith. In 1916, a creditor's committee reorganized Smith's properties under a new corporate name, the Coos Bay Lumber Company. While Smith maintained a role in the company, it was now primarily controlled by investors in San Francisco and Chicago. The company was based in Marshfield, Oregon (which would become known as Coos Bay in 1944) and had operations in nearby Eastside and Powers, Oregon, also in Coos County. Rough-cut lumber was sent by ocean to Bay Point, California. The Coos Bay Logging Company operated from 1916 to 1956, when the company was sold to the Georgia-Pacific Corporation.
