This photograph entitled 'The Waynesville Mill' is featured on page 17 of the booklet 'Glimpses of the Plant of the Champion Fibre Co., Canton, North Carolina: Souvenir of the Visit of the Cincinnati Commercial Club, May 1922'. The photograph shows a holding pond with logs, the sawmill, and the mountains in the distance. The booklet notes that in 1922 the Champion Fibre Company, which had a major paper manufacturing plant at Canton, N.C., operated two 'modern band-saw mills' in western North Carolina, one at Smokemont, N.C., in the Great Smoky Mountains and the other at Waynesville, N.C. At that time, the Waynesville mill produced 25,000 feet of lumber each day and twice that amount in pulp wood. The photographer's name is unknown.
