Black Brothers Lumber Company, city, has increased its capital stock 

 to $40,000. 



W. S, Crandall of the hardwood department of the Mississippi Lumber 

 Company, Quitman, Miss., was a visitor to the city about ten days ago. 



Recent local incorporations are : The International Art Furniture Com- 

 pany and the La Salle Phono Company. 



William H. Matthias is now located at 22 West Monroe Street, operating 

 as the Mid-West Hardwood Lumber Company. He is wholesaling and 

 handling the W. M. Eitter Lumber Company, Columbus, O;, stock, 



BUFFALO 



A new outing committee of the Buffalo Lumber Exchange has been 

 appointed by President Clark W. Hurd and it will hold a meeting soon 

 to arrange for a day's excursion, for which the hot weather has placed 

 the lumbermen quite in the mood. The chairman is William P, Betts and 

 the other members are Charles N, Perrin, Fred M, Sullivan, John F, Kno.x, 

 C, Ashton McNeil, Peter Yeager and Elmer J. Sturm, 



Hardwood, men learned with much regret of the death on May 25th of 

 William A. Quast, who was connected with the industry here for many 

 years. He was vice-president and secretary of Davenport & Ridley, Inc, 

 but because of illness had not been at the office since January, Death 

 resulted from heart trouble and a general breakdown. Mr, Quast had 

 been with the above company for four years, most of the time acting as 

 sales representative. Prior to that he was in the same capacity with T, 

 Sullivan & Co, He was of sanguine, energetic nature and possessed 

 many friends. He was 54 years old and leaves a wife. The funeral was 

 attended by a large representation of hardwood men and members of the 

 Buffalo Lumber Exchange, 



A rather gloomy picture of lumber conditions in the Tonawandas is 

 painted by a correspondent who says that but three lumber-handling 

 gangs of twenty men each are working, A quarter century ago thirteen 

 gangs of thirty men each were working almost constantly during the 

 navigation season. Not enough lumber is coming in this summer to keep 

 three gangs busy. He adds : 



"The Tonawandas once held the record for being the largest lumber port 

 in the world, tut Chicago took that title from the local cities ten years 

 ago and has since held it. The lumber industry here is being replaced 

 rapidly by a variety of industries though it still holds an important 

 place in the business world," 



The National convention at Chicago is now uppermost in t^e minds of 



the hardwood wholesalers and It Is likely that the usual large number will 

 be in attendance. This is the one big convention of the year for members 

 of the trade and this year about every yard will be represented. 



Taylor & Crate and the Atlantic Lumber Company have received hard- 

 wood cargoes so far this season, but the local lumber receipts have 

 been small. During May only two vessels arrived with lumber, the amount 

 being 1,375,224 feet. This compares with a total of 8,040,229 feet in the 

 same month of 1918, The indications are that lumber receipts this 

 month will also be below those of a year ago. 



PITTSBURGH 



The Frampton-Foster Lumber Company has lately bought three tracts 

 of hardwood timber, which will add considerable to its summer supply 

 for industrial trade. 



The Duquesne Lumber Company reports an especially good business 

 this month. President A, Hex Flinn is spending a few days at the mill In 

 the South, 



The Ravenna Box Factory, Ravenna, O., which has been operated under 

 the name of Johnson & Co. by George Augcnbaugh & Son, will be enlarged 

 by a five-story addition 72x60 feet. 



Building permits in Greater Pittsburgh last month totaled $1,400,000. 

 This was more than $1,000,000 over totals of May, 1918, 



The West Penn Lumber Company reports very little industrial business. 

 Steel concerns are buying less lumber than for many months. 



More than 5000 men In the building trades are on strike In Greater 

 Pittsburgh, Retail yard trade is badly handicapped on that account. 



BALTIMORE 



Henry Dill, a brother of Lewis Dill of Lewis Dill & Co., and for years 

 engaged in the trade himself, died here suddenly on May 25 of heart 

 trouble. Mr. Dill had been for years purchasing agent for the Baltimore 

 & Ohio Railroad, and had also held other positions. One of his daugh- 

 ters, who died last December, was the wife of M. S, Baer of Richard P. 

 Baer & Co, A son is with the Magazine Hardwood Company at Mobile.

 ciation, went to Camp Dix, New Jersey, last week with Mrs. Dickson, to

 once resume his position with the C, S. Powell Lumber Compac" of New
