NORTHWEST NOTES. 

 A. U. Kiilh of Ai>|ili.'ton, Wis., thi' iiii)i\i- 

 lai- repivsentative of tlie G. W. .Tones l,\ini- 

 luT Company, spent several ilays in Min- 

 neapolis recently [ihiein^ orders for stock 

 w'th local dealers, lie had no difflciilty 

 iu disposing of everything offore<l, and 

 says they could easily dispose of several 

 times their output. The production of elm 

 and basswood is not heavy, although 

 nearly all the logs are being cut up into 

 lumber, being too valuable to make into 

 cooperage stock. Even at the advanced 

 prices of staves and heading, there is 

 more money in the boards.

MORE EXPANSION. 



The \M-ll-kiiii\\ II s;iw iiianurnii uring 

 llrm of K. C. Atkius A: Co.. Inc., of Indian- 



apiilis, Ind., has I n making rapid strides 



during the ptist ten years. Its business hav- 

 ing grown to imiiicnse proportions in all 

 |>arts of the world, necessitating the es- 

 tnblishing of branch houses and salesrooms 

 not only in this country but in Canada and 

 other foreign countries. 



This wonderful growth has been fol- 

 lowWl liy ji corresponiling increase in the 

 ciipacily of their great plant, and, during 

 the past four years, they have added sev- 

 eral new and extensive buildings, such as 

 their woodworking factory, handsaw 

 building, gas works, etc. 



But the continued great demand for the 

 saws and tools bearing the Atkins brand 

 has rendered even those many improve- 

 ments inadequate for their requirements, 

 and they were confronted with the prob- 

 lem of moving awa.v from their present 

 location or acquiring a larger amount of 

 land adjoining in order to properly care 

 for their rapidly increasing trade. 



This necessitiited one of the most im- 

 portant steps the (inn has taken for sev- 

 eral years. The.v have just purchased the 

 entire plant occupied by the Parry Manu- 

 facturing Company, the largest buggy 

 manufacturing concern in the world, em- 

 ploying over 1,500 men. This property 

 joins the factory on the south and consists 

 of several large well-arrangeil brick build- 

 ings besides several of small size, which 

 can readily be made suitable for their 

 needs. 



The magnitude of the Atkins plant, 

 when the property just acquired is fitted 

 up, can easily be judged when the fact 

 is made known that the entire works now 

 cover about three blocks, and most of 

 this space is solidly built up with three, 

 four and five story brick buildings. It is 

 unquestionably the largest saw factory in 

 the world' to-day. 



Messrs. E. C. Atkins & Co. have branch 

 houses at New York City; Memphis. Tenn.; 

 Atlanta, Ga.; Jlinneapolis, Minn., and 

 Portland, Ore., besides sales offices in Chi- 

 cago. Ill,; St. Louis. Mo.; Toronto. Canada; 

 London, England; Melbourne, Australia; 

 Cape Town, S. A.; Paris, France, and else- 

 where.
