History
Alfred Bruce Cushing, 1865-1944, was born in Ontario and taught there for many years. In 1900 he moved to Edmonton where he joined his younger brother, Arthur, in managing a branch of Cushing Brothers Ltd., a lumber company started in Calgary, Alberta in 1885 by their older brother, William H. Cushing. A.B. Cushing was vice-president and manager, and later secretary-treasurer of Cushing Brothers until 1910. In 1911 he formed his own lumber business in Calgary, the A.B. Cushing Lumber Company. In 1926 this company amalgamated with R.L. Cushing Millwork Company of Moose Jaw, and the Vancouver firms of Masterbilt Doors, Cushing Mills (British Columbia), and North Vancouver Sawmills under the name A.B. Cushing Mills Ltd.
