One of the most modern and best equipped lumber plants in this section of the country is that of the Landrum Builders Supply Company in the suburbs of Tryon at Landrum, S.C. From a standpoint of variety of building materials carried, quantity and quality, service offered, this plant is only surpassed by those in cities.
The plant consists of one large warehouse, storing sash, doors, composition shingles, building paper, composition roofing, sheet rock, wall board, lime, mortar color and various other commodities that go to make up a complete building material line. There are four lumber sheds, storing various grades of finished lumber and mouldings. There is also a wood working shop fully equipped to handle practically any kind of mill-work.
This plant started operation a little over 18 months ago, with five regular employees and one delivery truck; today they employ 15 regular employees and are operating five delivery trucks, thus assuring their patrons that they are amply able to take care of their needs in the building material line.
L.W. Moore, who is in charge, is vice president of the company, also holds the same position with the Inman Builders Supply Company, both companies being under the same management. Mr. Moore is an ardent supporter of any progressive step taken in this territory and believes that the future holds great things in store for this section of the country.
