Hunt, Herbert and Floyd C. Kaylor. Washington: West of the Cascades. Vol. II. Chicago: S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1917. p. 635. A. J. DAVIS: Among the recently organized and developed interests of Chehalis is the lumber manufacturing plan conducted under the name of the Chehalis Mill Company, of which A. J. Davis is the secretary and treasurer. He is a native of Chicago but has been a resident of Lewis county, Washington, since 1905 and throughout the intervening period has been identified with lumber interests in this section of the state. He was connected with the Doty Lumber and Shingle Company at Doty and later was located at Kelso, where he owned a shingle mill. After several years' connection with that business Mr. Davis sold out and came to Chehalis, where in 1916 the Chehalis Mill Company was formed, with C. A. Doty as the president, B. J. Docherty as the vice president and Mr. Davis as secretary and treasurer. They have erected a most modern plant equipped with steam power, with a capacity of one hundred thousand feet of lumber daily. Their first camp was opened on the Cowlitz, Chehalis and Cascade Railroad. The mill is situated on all the different railroads of Chehalis, thus furnishing an excellent outlet for shipping. The officers of the company have had long experience in the lumber trade and Mr. Davis has done splended work in developing his present interests in Chehalis. In Portland, Oregon, in 1916, Mr. Davis was united in marriage to Miss Imogene Rewey, of that city. Fraternally he is connected with the Masons and with the Elks. He is widely known as an energetic business man, alert to his opportunities, and his life has been organized along lines that have called for a full dole of labor within each turn of the wheel.
