Provenance |
In the 1940s and 50s, Jack Cash shot over 1500 photographs for H.R. MacMillan Export and MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. These photographs were used for publication in company newsletters and promotional purposes. Cash’s images provide visual evidence of the company’s logging and lumbering operations in British Columbia (From: The Museum of North Vancouver). MacMillan Bloedel Limited was a Canadian forestry company with headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1951 Bloedel, Stewart and Welch merged with H.R. MacMillan to form MacMillan Bloedel Limited. Bloedel, Stewart and Welch held many timber resources and MacMillan was the first truly integrated forestry company in British Columbia. The two companies had timber holdings side-by-side and there was a natural synergy from this merger. In 1959 Macmillan Bloedel merged with a third company, Powell River Limited. MacBlo was purchased by Weyerhaeuser in 1999. |
