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.

The file contains photographs originally found in an unmarked and undated black binder depicting colour-coded mill equipment and machinery. Several of these images are annotated “Bell”, “Bell Asbestos”, and “National”. It is speculated that these images originate from the underground asbestos mine in Thetford Mines, Quebec operated by Bell Asbestos Mines Ltd. and the National Mine in Quebec. One image appears to be, or looks similar to the new mill at Cassiar, built in 1971.
