They bought the saw mill of the Necedah Lumber Co. at Necedah and moved it to the land on the west side of the C. M. St. P. Ry. They began operations in 1889 and continued until about 1906. In 1907, July 7th, the Stange-Ellis Lumber Co. was incorporated by E. W. Ellis, F. J. Wood and Guy O. Babcock. In 1909 they bought out the Grand Rapids Lumber Co. and added a box manufacture and box shooks stock. The joined prints show the box factory and warehouse. Dec. 31, 1924, this plant was close and they moved all to Eagle River and again entered the lumber and box business. The property finally was sold to the Standard
