| Historicial Development: | Located two miles north of Alto on Highway 69, Wingate Millworks, with its diesel sawmill and electric planer, produces pallet materials.
Grady Singletary reported that the equipment was “modular,” in that the machinery was mounted and mechanized on dual-wheel trailers. The saw operated by diesel power; the remainder of the equipment operated by compressed air. |
