W. B. Wright Company

The W. B. Wright Company was a lumbering firm operated by William Benjamin Wright.

The business was initially established in 1872 by Wright's father, George Washington Wright, who retired in 1888. W. B. incorporated the business under his own name in December 1895.[1]

Its mills were located at the corner of Intendencia Street and 10th Avenue and in 1901 had a capacity to turn out 65,000 feet of lumber, 20,000 laths and 40,000 shingles.[1]
