I believe it is "Weyerhauser," named after a notable robber baron of
the 19th century. After scouring the Great Lakes area of Minnisota
(somewhere around there) and making a lot of money, mr Weyerhauser
moved west with these ill-gotten gains into Oregon & Washington, where
he acquired the vast concessions which underwrote his subsequent
successes.  His company has continued his
proud tradition of scouring (excuse me: "applying cutting-edge
scientifically-based fiber harvesting methodologies & technologies
to...) western American forests to this very day.
