Scope and content:

Edwin F. Conger's first truly successful venture into business began with the conversion of a lumber business in Lynchburg into the E. F. Conger Creosoting Company (later simply known as the E. F. Conger Company). Like several of the companies he owned and operated, E. F. Conger Company over time become essentially a holding company for his investments, but for almost thirty years this firm produced treated poles for telephone and utilities companies throughout the eastern United States, his steadiest and most notable customer being Southeastern New England Telephone Company.

Although there are only limited records about the operations of the company here, this series contains numerous images of the company's large treatment plant built and maintained at Waynesboro, Va.
