Roost Pole's purpose

Dear Editor,

The purpose of the Roost Pole at Fulton was to protect a large sign that Scotch Lumber Company had erected.

The sign stated, "The Scotch Lumber Co. Timbers up to seventy feet long."

I guess the reason the sign was erected there was so the train's passengers could see it as two trains a day ran, one north and one south.
