It also made sugar box shooks, lath, clapboard, and soap and candle boxes. The town had two cooperage factories. Other industries produced harnesses, cheese and butter, and men's vests. Until the Panic of 1857, Winterport was a shipbuilding center.

It was set off as "Sweden" on February 26, 1813. The surface of the town is somewhat broken, but had good soil for farming, particularly the cultivation of grains. Other industries included a sawmill that produced short and long lumber, in addition to shooks. The town also had a carriage factory.

The surface of the town is broken, but with soil favorable to grain and hay. Baldwin would be noted for its orchards, and a factory was established in East Baldwin for drying apples. There was also a corn factory. Brooks provided water power for various mills which produced board lumber, barrel staves and shooks.

In the 19th century, mills produced spools, long lumber, shooks, axe handles, ox goads, carriages, sleighs, harness, cabinet work and coffins, and boots and shoes. Good soil helped farms prosper. Following the Civil War, the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad connected to Fryeburg, and tourists discovered the beauty of Kezar Lake. Inns and hotels opened, and the town remains a summer resort.

Waste material from the initial breaking down process (including edging) was cut down for firewood at the docking saw or disposed of. The lengths of timber ready for assembly as cases were known as "shooks". Larger, general purpose mills typically comprised three circular saws and a docker. The initial break-down of the log was usually carried out at the Canadian bench (the largest circular saw).

The surface of the town is very uneven and generally rocky, so it was hard work to clear a farm for cultivation. But the soil was good and yielded abundant crops. Mills were built at water power sites, and products included long and short lumber, shooks, and boots and shoes. In 1832, the Cumberland and Oxford Canal opened, increasing trade between Sebago Lake and Portland.

The first settler was Moses Emery from Newbury, Massachusetts, in 1772. At that time there were several Indians of the Anasagunticook tribe living in the immediate area. The surface of the town is uneven, in some parts hilly, but with good soil for agriculture, the principal early occupation. Mills were erected at various water power sites, and products included lumber, clapboards, shingles, boxes, shooks and barrel staves.

In 1906, the CFGE launched the Citrus Protective League, a lobbying arm. In 1907, it formed the Fruit Growers Supply Company to supply growers with materials such as radios, tires, shooks for fruit crates, insecticides, and fertilizers at wholesale prices. It later formed the Sunkist's Exchange By-Products Company, which developed markets for products such as citric acid, sodium citrate, lemon oil, pectin, orange oil and orange pulp.

In October 1993, the Shooks founded Woodlands Church, formerly Fellowship of The Woodlands, Texas. Since then, the congregation has grown to include campuses in Conroe, Tomball and Atascosita area, including the main campus located in The Woodlands. Those campuses, combined with the main church, now attract an average total of more than 17,000 individuals from all age groups. In 2005, Shook began broadcasting his message on local television stations, beginning with KTBU Channel 55 in Houston.

Whaling ships in particular, featuring long voyages and large crews, needed many casks – for salted meat, other provisions and water – and to store the whale oil. Sperm whale oil was a particularly difficult substance to contain, due to its highly viscous nature, and oil coopers were perhaps the most skilled tradesmen in pre-industrial cooperage.Mark Howard, “Coopers and casks in the whaling trade, 1800-1850,” The Mariner’s Mirror, 82 (4) November 1996, p.438. Whaling ships usually carried a cooper on board, to assemble shooks and maintain casks.

Michael J. Nist became company president in 1905, but years before that he had become the major decision-maker of the business. Company founder Jacob Nist died in 1907, after almost six months' illness. By that time, the company had been renamed Seattle Box Company, reflecting the chief products of the company: crates, boxes, and shooks. (A shook is a set of wooden staves and headers, for assembling a barrel or cask.) The company was constructing a larger plant on the tideflats of Elliott Bay in South Seattle.

The lumber industry grew to become one of Canada's most important economic engines during this period. A market for Canadian wood developed in Britain where access to traditional sources of lumber for the construction of ships for the Royal Navy, as well as industrial structures, was blocked by Napoleon in 1806. As a result, Britain turned to her colonies in North America to supply masts for her ships as well as sawn lumber and square timber. Other wood products included barrel staves, shingles, box shooks and spool wood for textile factories.

Towards the end, she is shown with two other females—Helene Britany and Julia Oste—after the video cuts to her tied up, foreshadowing the second half of the video. During the video's second half, Hanna sports deranged-looking eye makeup and is tied up to a rack by white cloths. She struggles to get away from two men—Dalton Shooks and Jake Brandorff—who are constantly seen touching her. According to Dana Getz of PopCrush, this aesthetic represents the singer being lost in a "web of lies".

The Templeton Gap Floodway is a levee to Monument Creek from just east of Union Boulevard in the Pikeview neighborhood. It was built in 1949 by the US Army Corps of Engineers to divert floodwater away from Shooks Run, which flows to Fountain Creek, to Monument Creek. The floodway was seen as a way of mitigating significant floods, such as those in the late 1800s and early 1900s that had done significant damage to the city. It is owned and maintained by the City of Colorado Springs and is designed to carry 13,500 cubic feet of flood water per second.

In a review of sidings at unattended stations in 1953 it was noted of Clareville that inward goods comprised approximately 12 wagons of coal and 6 wagons of shooks for the Carrington Dairy Company, who consigned their outward goods at Carterton. Outward goods consisted primarily of hay and straw, amounting to approximately 12 wagons per year. It was considered that only minor inconvenience would be caused in closing Clareville to goods traffic and instead handling it at Carterton. In response to the review the District Engineer stated he had no objection to the lifting of the goods siding at Clareville.

There were continued sewage spills in 2004. In 2005, there were more than 300,000 gallons of nonpotable water and sewage spills, which resulted in a fine of $130,000 to Colorado Springs Utilities by the Colorado Department of Health. Another 44,000 gallon raw sewage spill into Shooks Run and Fountain Creek on January 5, 2006, producing elevated levels of E. coli in Fountain Creek, resulted in a $10,000 fine for the utility and a required evaluation for how the utility managed sewage blockages within its system. Changes required of the utility to improve the sewage system could cost up to $40 million by 2012.

Dulmont Magnum (later, Kookaburra) Laptop PC Dulhunty established Dulmison Pty Ltd in 1947 to exploit importing opportunities in the strictly controlled, quota and foreign exchange limited trading environment then prevailing in post-War Australia. After opportunistically trading in whatever available quota presented itself (e.g. fireworks, costume jewellery, calico and case shooks), Dulmison settled into the power distribution components business in which it became a leading player in Australia for decades. Having successfully developed a portable testing set for recording Aeolian vibrations in the 70s, Dulhunty decided to commit Dulmison to developing a highly compact personal computer when his right-hand man Clive Mackness hatched the idea.

Beginning in 1945, Mr. Trover wrote many of the radio dramas aired, and when CBH needed a new office manager, he recommended his sister Bertha Shooks, from Canton, Ohio, and she later became CBH's third executive director until 1972, and became well known as "Aunt Bertha". For many years, starting in 1958, Aunt Bertha gathered many interested ladies every month to pray for the ministries. That same year, the future "Uncle Charlie" at age nine was picked out of a studio audience to read, and he joined CBH two years later in 1947 and after college graduation joined CBH full-time as an assistant director to Aunt Bertha. Uncle Charlie continued serving as the ministries' "Ambassador-at- Large" until his death at the age of 84 in February 2019.

In the beginning, their office was located in the basement of the family home. In 1963, Shook moved to Columbus, Ohio with his wife Roberta (1941-1983) and six-month-old daughter, Faith Caroline where he opened an office for Shook Associates; within 10 years, Shook Associates Corporation had an estimated 200 full-time agents in Pa., Oh, Md, W.Va, Del, Va, Ind., Ky, NC, SC, Ga, Ala, Fla, Mass, Conn, Calif, Az. Tenn, and D.C. In the mid-1970s, the father and son founded American Executive Life Insurance Company, a reinsurance company that was domiciled in Phoenix, Az. Robert Shook served as chairman of the board of American Executive Life Insurance Company and Herbert was president. In 1976, the two Shooks co-authored, How to be the Professional Salesman, a book used as a marketing tool to recruit salespeople for their agency.
