These Industries operated by f. ' M. Towle and W. H. Oostlin, were located on the north bank of the river on both sides of Hohman street. The lumber yard is on the west side of the street and the distillery and killing house occupy the present side cf the Simplex plant of the American Steel foundries. From these industries came four of the necessities of the day, meat, shoes, lumber and whiskey. The lumber yard was located there in order that the shiploads of boards and fence pots might be unloaded at the. dock which lined the water's edge.
