“Hugh and Mary Chisholm started the Chisholm Cedar Company at Naples Idaho in 1944 producing cedar fencing material. Hugh passed away in 1954. Mary married Charles McNearney in 1955. Charles was killed in a plane crash in 1956. Mary McNearney continued to operate the Chisholm Cedar Co. until 1962. She then worked for Kokanee Cedar Sales in Naples. This 1947 invoice for 25’ poles was issued to A.G. Allen owner of The Mint Club. Wonder what he used the poles for?
