Coe Gets Out New Catalog:ue 



The Coe Manufacturing Company, Paincsville, O., manufacturer of 

 veneer macbinery, has just issued bulletin No. 101, which briefly illus- 

 trates and describes the Coe automatic, progressive roller veneer dryer. 

 This apparatus, it is stated, dries green veneer and thin lumber within 

 a fraction of an hour after being cut and rendering them In condition 

 ready for the glue room or for crating. 



Scientific control of the drying factor makes it possible not only to dry 

 but uniformly season veneers without strains, marking, checking, splitting, 

 case-hardening or other defect. 



A Ship that Is Its Own Cargo 



There will soon be launched at Vancouver, B. C, a ship which for 

 uniqueness beats all records. According to the inventor it is a demountable 

 ship, and its use will cut shipping costs twenty-five per cent. The cargo, 

 in thi.s case 5,000,000 feet of Douglas fir, is being formed Into a ship and 

 will be delivered at Its destination in the form of a ship, and then taken 

 apart and delivered as cargo with nothing left but the engine, propellers 

 and similar equipment. Even the fuel tanks will be made of lumber and 

 at destination they will be taken apart and the material used to box the 

 machinery for return to its starting place. 



This ship will be 250 feet long, 60 feet beam and 36 teet deep. For the 

 Knglish trade the ships will have twin screws driven by gas engines, but 

 for the .\ustralian trade they will have only sail equipment. 



It Is estimated that the ship should reach London from Vancouver in 

 two months, and that the engine and equipment, which may be used 

 repeatedly, will cost about $200,000. A special form of insurance at about 

 the same rate for sailing vessels has already been arranged for.
