Logging has been a continual source employment on Texada Island. Teamsters Jack Abercrombie and Jack Townsend with their four horse teams and wagons supplied cord wood for the Lime Kilns. The Little Bros. were the first to bring a logging truck to the island. In 1955 there were thirteen logging companies on Texada that supplied 15 million board feet of lumber a year.
