Hard work and dangerous. This "river-boy" Lyman Frugia, poles the heavy logs into the incline that takes them to the mill.

Miller and Vidor Lumber Company. This was the only mill I found around Beaumont that employed boys - likely because they are located some distance from town. Location: Beaumont, Texas

Workers in Miller & Vidor Lumber Co. Dangerous work. Charlie McBride said twelve years old. This twelve year old boy has a steady job. He takes the slabs out of the chute which has a moving endless chain to carry the wood up the chute. He passes the slabs on to the other boy who saws them on an inguarded [i.e., unguarded] circular saw. Charlie runs the saw himself whenever he gets the chance. He is exposed not only to the above dangers, but to the weather - no roof even. Has been here for some months. "Get four bits a day" (fifty cents). Works ten hours. This was the only mill that I found around Beaumont that employed boys likely because they are located some distance out of town. Location: Beaumont, Texas.
