- The 1941 business directory lists the Springfield Plywood Corporation, the Bennett Lumber Company, the Copeland Lumber Company, and the Holloway and Crabb Lumber Company in addition to those listed in 1940 (Polk 1941). The Elliott mill became the C.W. Guerrier Lumber Company in 1941.
- The Springfield Creamery, a commercial creamery started in the 1910s, built a new cheese factory in 1941.
