Wood is produced from lumberyards and stone, gold and jade are mined from quarries. They facilitated their marketing campaigns by developing connections to retail lumberyards. Here, Quantrill took up a job in the lumberyards, unloading timber from rail cars. Lumberyards and frame stores opened along White. He then bought two other lumberyards in the same financial position. In 1984, the company modified the POS system to serve lumberyards. Lumberyards lined the river with freshly cut wood waiting to be shipped.
