Vintage Medford: Island Coal and Lumber

Matchcover for the former Medford company on eBay, history of business.

A matchcover for the Island Coal and Lumber Company, which was a business in Medford, is on sale on an eBay listing.

According to Triangle Building Products Corporation's website, Island Coal and Lumber operated in Medford since 1936. The lumberyard was purchased by Abe Metzer's Triangle Pacific Corporation in 1970. Since then the corporation became the Triangle Building Products Corporation in 1993, which the website says still presently operates in Medford at 2599 Route 112 specializing in products for Long Island builders.

The listing is selling the matchcover for $4.99 with free shipping, and is presently located in Apple Creek, Ohio.
