Woollings

In 1918 TS (Thomas) Woollings began purchasing timber for American companies from an office in Timmins Ontario .  In 1940 TS died and his two brothers Albert and Englehart (the first baby born in Englehart, 1907) formed Woollings Forest Products Ltd, one of many Woollings family enterprises. 

Woollings Forest Products operated 3 sawmills and daily, between 1922 and 1956, transported a trainload of pulpwood to clients in the U.S. , Espanola, Thorold and Abitibi.  One of their most renowned clients was the Saturday Evening Post that was printed in Johnsonburg Pennsylvania . 

In 1967 the last Woollings brother passed away and Tom Woollings began managing until 1990 when the reigns were passed to his son Greg who presently owns and operates the business.
