The lumber industry has left a number of names behind in Port Moody. Perry Roe, Robert Abernethy, Thurston and Favelle for sure. A name that almost became of prominance was Sigmund Hage (possibly spelled Haig).

In the early 1920's, Sig Hage followed in Perry Roe's footsteps, even buying the Roe residence on St John Street. Sig planned on making a fortune by suppling timber to the local sawmills. To intice investors, Sig hired Leonard Frank to take a series of photographs in 1923. In these photographs, Sig is thought to be the man in the suit.

Sig Hage purchased the old Coquitlam Dam logging railway and planned to expand it north of Port Moody. Timber was cut down in the summer of 1923.
