Great Southern Lumber Company
- Great Southern Lumber Company
In 1906, the Great Southern Lumber Company was founded in Bogalusa, Washington Parish, Louisiana by Frank Henry Goodyear and Charles Waterhouse Goodyear, and others investors mostly from Buffalo, New York area.
Colonel William Henry Sullivan, the "Father of Bogalusa," was the sawmill manager and the town manager. Colonel Sullivan's goal was to create a city that lasted, so reforestation was introduced into the area.

The Great Southern Lumber Company (1906-1938) was sold in 1938. The current owner is the Temple-Inland Corporation which is the largest employer in the Washington Parish, Louisiana.
