Geo. W. Sutherland, Lumberman
[Souvenir of the Town of Welland Issued August 22, 1902, by the Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle, Publishing]
One of the most popular and enterprising citizens of Welland, who is a firm believer in a future for the town, is Mr. Geo. W. Sutherland, who occupies a palatial residence, on the corner of North Main and Elgin Streets, a cut of which appears herewith. Mr Sutherland’s principal business is that of lumbering though for some years, during the season of navigation he has operated two boats on the Welland Canal. The base of his lumber operations is in the Ontario timber lands, and in former years he employed large crews of men and teams in securing logs therefrom, but of late he has confined active operations to the purchase of timber lots, and securing the product by contract. The timber thus obtained is driven by various waterways to American ports and disposed of to mill owners and others. An average cut is from three quarters to a million feet of logs. Mr Sutherland is also interested in other enterprises, and is alive to anything which is of advantage to the town. He is a member of the town council and of the Masonic Fraternity.
