making iininoiliate shipment possible. The cars are loaded directly from 

 the warehouse and inspection building. 



.Since the purchase of the plant b.v the Chicago Mill & Lumber Company 

 on June 1, 1918, a Blakeslee lathe has been installed to be used ex- 

 clusively in cutting up short ends of logs which are left over after the 

 veneer lengths are cut and which would otherwise be wasted. This ma- 

 terial is shipped as rough veneer to the Helena, Ark., plant for boxes and 

 box shooks. 



Since taking over the Clarendon plant the timber holdings of the com- 

 pany have been largely increased in the vicinity of Clarendon and these 

 In addition to the holdings of the Paepcke Leicht interests in this terri- 

 tory insures continuous operation for many years in the future. The logs 

 can be handled into the plant both by rail and water. Clarendon being- 

 located on the White river and served by the Iron Mountain and Cotton 

 Belt railroads. The combination of lumber, veneer and box manufacture 

 enables the company to eliminate from the veneer logs any but those that 

 are best adapted for high-grade veueer production. 



The executive and sales offices of the company are located on the 

 twentieth floor of the Conway building, Chicago. Here all sales, executive 

 and trallic matters are handled. 



New Fiber Weaving Machine 



The manufacturers of reed and liber furniture will he interested iu 

 learning that a nuichlne has been perfected by Marshall B. Llo.vd of The 

 Lloyd -Manufacturing Company, which can be operated by a one-armed 

 man if necessary, and which will efficiently and skillfully do the work 

 of weaving reeds or fibers at a rate calculated to be about thirty times as 

 fast as it can be performed liy the nu>.st skilled hand worker. 



This work has always been done by hand and it is probable that Mr. 

 Lloyd's machine will open u|i a new era in reed furniture manufacture. 



Big Spruce Deal in North Carolina 



One of the largest spruce timber developments undertaken in recent 

 years is that announced by the Champion Fiber Companv, Canton, N. C , 

 near .Vshevillc. A tract of H.s.ddO acres of virgin spruce "in Sevier county! 

 Tennessee, has Just been ac(iuired. and a railway is being constructed froiii 

 Ela, N. C., through the Smoky mountains into the tract so that the prod- 

 uct may be brought out to the main line of the Southern railroad at Ela. 

 It Is expected that the total expenditure on the operation in the next ten 

 years will be over .f5,()00,000. The spruce lands were bought from the 

 Southern Spruce Company and others. The tap line road will also open 

 up other timber lands in east Tennessee and western North Carolina.

Consolidation of Door Companies 



It is announced that the Compound Door Company of St. Joseph, Mich., 

 and the I'yrono Process Company of Columbus, Ohio, have consolidated 

 and are now operating as the Compound & Pyrono Door Company, with 

 manufacturing plant and general offices at St. Joseph, Mich. 



R. J. Lockwood Goes to Arkansas 



R. J. Lockwood, secretary and general manager of the Memphis Hard- 

 wood Flooring Company for a substantial number of years, has severed 

 his connection with the Memphis company and now has become secretary 

 and treasurer of the Brinkley Lumber Company of Brinkley, Ark. Mr. 

 Lockwood is still located at Memphis closing things up, but will soon 

 move his family to -\rkansas. 



The Brinkley Lumber Company is incorporated under the laws of Ar- 

 kansas, the officers being : W. L. Brown, president ; R. R. Lockwood, vice- 

 president ; R. J. Lockwood, secretary-treasurer. 



Mr. Brown is a former Hoosier, having operated a veneer and sawmill 

 business in Indiana for a number of years. He is still very much in the 

 going, however, and is a practical and skilled operator. 



"Bob" Lockwood is a familiar and very popular figure in the hardwood 

 flooring and the southern hardwood lumber trade. He was recently elected 

 president of the Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association and is dis- 

 tinctly aggressive and modern in his way of doing things. He has built 

 up a substantial lumber business in connection with the hardwood flooring 

 operation. 



The Brinkley outfit has a ten-inch band mill, is fully equipped to make 

 the best of stock, and will specialize in quartered oak, ash and hickory. 

 The mill will cut 20,000 feet a day and it Is the intention of the opera- 

 tors to make a careful selection of logs. 



The company's card announces that the mill is the only sawmill in the 

 world without smoke stack and whistle. There seems to be one slight 

 inconsistency between Bob Lockwood's announcement over his letterhead 

 of the change, and the printed card of the Brinkley Lumber Company. 

 In his letter Lockwood states that Mr. Brown is a "bear" for getting 

 "Annette Kellerman" figure on quartered oak. Lockwood says that he 

 has been buying from Mr. Brown all year and knows whereof he speaks. 

 On the other hand the card says that the company specializes in band sawn 

 quartered oak with "Mary Garden" figure. Presumably the buyer is given 

 the opportunity of making his own choice and of expressing his preference 

 iu the matter of feminine charms through the manner in which he buys 

 his lumber.
