Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott visits Sheridan, Arkansas’ Pulpwood Producers Company, Inc. A few years ago at an event celebrating its 50^th anniversary, Evergreen Packaging in Pine Bluff, Ark., honored its longest running continuous supplier: Pulpwood Producers Co., Inc. Originally a timber dealer, one of only two in the area at the time, Pulpwood Producers went into business sometime in the 1950s—nobody’s sure exactly when anymore. The original owner, R.M. Henry, and his partner, a man named Lang, founded Pulpwood Producers after International Paper came to town. It was 1962 when Henry and Lang hired a young forestry graduate with a minor accounting, W. A. Winston. “I just kept the books,” Winston, soon to be 77, recalls of his earliest duties. Winston wasn’t destined to be just an accountant for long.
