Though his father Henry L;
.man, one of the area's earliest
.settlers, had a large farmsite, and
his brother Arthur spent his life
in agricultural work, Albert Ly-
man decided to try his hand at
something other than farming. So
in 1898 he bought out George
Dickinson and started the Lyman
Lumber company in Excelsior.
His yard was on . the hill behind
the Ford garage and the main of-
fice was located where Nelson's
Mobile Gas station now stands.
There was plenty to be built then,
.and apparently the lumber biisi-
ness was not exactly poor. With
cash in- the till and good prospects
for the future, Lyman, like so
many , others, wanted to expand.
Expand he, did.
Between 1907 and 1914 he start-
ed or bought out lumber yards in
Wayzata, Spring Park, Mound,
Prior Lake and Shakopee. In
1928 he acquired yards in Thorpe
and Stanley, Wisconsin. Later the
company closed or sold some of
these, and at present owns yards
at Long Lake, Wayzata, Annan -
.dale,, Thorpe and. Stanley, besides
the Main yard in Excelsior.

When Henry Lyman came ti
Minnesota in 1852 the mode 'o
transportation from Minuca,poli:
to Excelsior was ox cart. It wa
a whole day's trip one way. By
the time Albert began his busi
ness oxen had been replaced tc
some extent by horses, and lum
ber was picked up or delivered b;
horses. a somewhat faster meth
od.
Then in the early 1900's thf
miraculous automobile , was * per,
fected, and in 1917 the compan3
invested in a delivery truck. ThE
first truck was a Wilcox, manu,
factured in Minneapolis by th+
Wilcoxes, an Excelsior family.
The Excelsior yard was moves
to its present location arouni
1910 and a new front was buil
on the office in 1930. Other thal
that the physical arrangement
have remained the same.
Albert Lyman died in 1930 an(
Donald Lyman, back from Dart
mouth college, took over. He i
still the company head and wit]
three others owns the compan;
stock. Other. stock holders ar
