File contains records created or collected by Bill Stowell over the course of his employment with Tolko Industries Ltd. as a log trader (1994-2010). Includes correspondence, memoranda, company budgets, reports, and periodical clippings.

Several of these images are annotated “Bell”, “Bell Asbestos”, and “National”.
