- Thomson, ca. 1947. Worker at the Knox Brothers Lumber Company located on Railroad Street has just completed using a hydro air engineering press to join these two 2" x 12" boards between metal plates. This was a step in manufacturing prefabricated homes. The company, begun in 1932, was one of the first in the area to build prefabricated homes. An assembly line process was used to manufacture the pieces of the homes. Later the firm was purchased by National Homes. Lawrence, Robert E., Wyke A., and Peter S. Knox, Junior were the owners of the business.
