UNITED STATES: AE medal, 1925, Marqusee-223, 83mm bronze medal by Julio Kilenyi, bust left of Robert A. Long, founder of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, THE LONG-BELL LUMBER COMPANY / FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY around; to left, ROBERT A. LONG / FOUNDER; to right, signed KILENYI // path through forest, surrounded by laurel and oak leaves, above LONG-BELL; below in cartouche, 1875-1925, EF. The Long-Bell Lumber Company was started by Robert A. Long and Victor Bell. They had started out selling hay in Columbus, Ohio, but quickly discovered that the wood they needed to construct storage sheds and wagons was much more precious than their hay cargo, so they tore down the sheds and sold the lumber. In 1887 they officially incorporated the Long-Bell Lumber Company and grew it into a major business.
