In February 1941 C.C. Fischer and G.A. Fischer together purchased the Hale Lumber Company in East Alton, Illinois. They changed the name to Fischer Lumber Company and on February 27, 1941, Fischer Lumber Company became an Illinois Corporation and has been a continuously operating corporation since. Starting with eight employees the Fischers worked together for the next fourteen years to build the lumberyard. In 1955 C.C. Fischer purchased all the stock from the George Fischer Family and from that time the Lumber Company has been in the C.C.
