The Hattenberg Veneer Company was incorporated in 1890 in Marshfield, Wisconsin and manufactured veneers, plywood, cheese boxes, and cheese box stock. By 1893, the company faced bankruptcy due to lack of capital and failure of a customer indebted to the company. In March 1894, William Henry Roddis joined the firm as manager with an investment of $5000. William Henry Roddis was born in Troy, New York on January 5, 1844 and moved as a child to Milwaukee. Prior to moving to Marshfield, Wisconsin and graduation from the Milwaukee Academy, W.H. Roddis was active in real estate.

After the original plant burned down in April 1897, a larger plant was built allowing the business to expand and become a dependable manufacturer of veneers and plywood. This plant was operating by June 19, 1897 and W.H. Roddis bought the majority of the stock of Hattenberg Veneer Company changing the name to Roddis Veneer Company. In 1899, Hamilton Roddis, son of W.H. Roddis, left school and joined the company as secretary. In 1903, the company expanded into lumber products and the name was changed to Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company. This led to the purchase of timberland in Ashland and Iron Counties and construction of a sawmill in Park Falls, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Central Railroad built a railroad to bring this timber to the sawmill calling it the “Roddis Spur.” During 1907, both the plant in Marshfield and the sawmill in Park Falls were destroyed by fires. Both facilities were rebuilt as larger and improved facilities with sprinkler systems. By 1908, Roddis Company had developed the first solid core doors. Although the company did not invent the flush door, they manufactured them on a large scale. In 1906, an electrical sawmill was built at the Marshfield plant and the capacity at both the Marshfield and Park Falls saw mills increased to about 3,000,000 feet a month. During World War I, the Roddis Company was one of the largest manufactures of airplane plywood and sold to the governments of Italy, France, and the United States.

On November 6, 1920, W.H. Roddis died. His son, Hamilton Roddis, became the President of Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company and both he and his sister, Frances M. Roddis, inherited their father's interest. During the early 1920s, the company manufactured veneered panel doors, French doors, fancy veneered doors and 35% of all hardwood veneer doors in the United States at the time. Due to changes in the woodworking industry, shipping via the Panama Canal, and much of the furniture business moving to the Southeast, especially North Carolina and Virginia, the company lost a great deal of business. This led to the creation of a warehouse in Kansas City, Missouri and its incorporation as Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company of Missouri. The Kansas City Company successfully marketed and distributed the products from the Marshfield plant, but made money distributing non-competitive plywood, mainly fir and pine plywood manufactured on the West Coast. From 1926 to 1941, the success of the Kansas City Company led to the opening of similar warehouses and distribution centers in various parts of the country such as Chicago, New York, Cambridge, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Milwaukee.

During World War II, Roddis Company supplied wood products to the United States government and the Allies such as marine plywood for PT boats, interior plywood, panels, doors and bulkheads for hundreds of Liberty Ships, aircraft plywood and special birch plywood for the De Haviland Mosquito Bomber and Howard Hughes' HK-1 Flying Boat known as the Spruce Goose. In 1948, because of increased production during WWII, and the increased softwood plywood business, Roddis Company bought a controlling interest in the Humbolt Plywood Corporation, Arcata, California and changed their name to Roddiscraft Inc. The company produced softwood plywood at the rate of 50 million square feet per annum. In addition, from 1945 to 1948, Roddis Company bought many tracts of timberland in upper Michigan and a sawmill in Ironwood, Michigan. In 1946, Roddis Company entered into negotiations with the Canadian government for permission to cut some of the Dominion's Crown Timber Lands. In 1947, Roddis Company received a timber license from the Canadian government for 650 square miles and bought several private tracks of timber in Canada.

After doing business as Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company for forty-five years, the company changed its name to Roddis Plywood Corporation. Over sixty years of business, the main emphasis of the company was quality, as it strove to create products that were the best in their field. After the death of Hamilton Roddis in March 1960, the Roddis Plywood Corporation was sold to Weyerhaeuser Company in August 1960.

The records of the Roddis Plywood Corporation consist of the records of the company and its regional offices and warehouses spanning from 1897 to 1967. The records are arranged in the order provided by the company or individuals who kept the files. The collection is divided into four series: Board of Directors, Hamilton Roddis Correspondence, General Subject Files, and Regional Offices.

The BOARD OF DIRECTORS series, 1897-1960, is arranged alphabetically by subject. Included are: agendas, annual meeting minutes, annual reports, Board resolutions, corporate resolutions, Board correspondence, employees trust, minutes, reports, statements of consolidated operations, and stockholders information. The records provide a complete date span of director's information, minutes and stockholders materials; however, the other business records have incomplete date spans. The records provide excellent documentation of the Roddis Corporation's business practices from 1926 to 1960 with an emphasis on the late 1940s to 1960.

The HAMILTON RODDIS CORRESPONDENCE series, 1920-1936, 1946-1960, contains records of his correspondence with company clients, the daily work done during his tenure as President (1920-1960), letters to family members involved in the workings of the company, and letters to charitable organizations. The records are arranged alphabetically and chronologically. The correspondence contains letters about: matters with Roddis Company holdings including New York and Chicago; banks such as Bankers Trust Company, First Wisconsin Trust Company, First Fond Du Lac National Bank, Oshkosh Savings and Trust Company, and The Federal Land Bank of St. Paul; attorneys; charities such as St. Alban's Church, and the Episcopal Church/Bishops; companies such as Bissell Lumber Company, Grand Rapids Veneer Works, Iron County Abstract and Title Company, French Lumber and Manufacturing Company, Edward Hines Lumber Company, National Veneer and Lumber Company, Wilson Veneer Company and Zonolite Company; people involved in the company including Robert Beggs, Al Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Connor, Augusta Roddis, Hamilton Roddis, Frances Roddis, Bill Smith and Oscar Witt; telegrams; and bills and invoices. Records are missing from 1937 to 1945.

The GENERAL SUBJECT FILES series, 1938-1939, 1945-1960, 1967, include files documenting the management of the company, its finances, employees and clients. The records are arranged alphabetically and chronologically. There are records such as birch or fir numbers, bank and attorney correspondence, check registers, complaints, core mill records, correspondence with Blyth & Company, Cyprus Mine Corporation, and Hub City Oil Company, hollow core door data, inner-office communications, legislative and political letters, purchase proposals and requests, sales reports, saw mill and union information. The records do not have complete date runs; however, they concentrate on the 1940s and 1950s.

The REGIONAL OFFICES series, 1942, 1946-1962, is arranged alphabetically and chronologically by company and city. The records contain financial records for the Roddis Mill in Park Falls, Wisconsin; Roddis Canada-Veneer Mill; Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company of Canada; Roddis of Quebec, Canada; Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company of Missouri-Kansas City, and Roddiscraft Inc. as well as minutes for the Canadian companies and Roddiscraft.
