John Killoran in his book, Cass Collection, wrote that the mill operation was enormous during its heyday of 1922 to 1935. It ran two 11-hour shifts six days per week, cutting 125,000 board feet of lumber each shift - an impressive million and a half feet of lumber per week. The Cass mill also had drying kilns using 11 miles of steam pipe to dry 360,000 board feet of lumber on each run.
