Log feature on wood hauler Adam Scott

Description

In 1955, The Log spent a few hours with Adam Scott who is one of 550 people hauling wood to Champion as a truck wood hauler. More than 25% of Champion’s daily requirement of 1,600 cords is received from local truckers who come from on average 22 miles away and as far as 70 miles. In this photograph, Mrs. Greta Johnston, a teller at Wachovia Bank in Asheville cashes Scott's check. Champion pays out more than $2 million a year to wood truckers in Western North Carolina. More information about this photograph can be found in Champion publication The Log. Click the link in the “Related Materials” field to view the article on pages 10 - 15.
