HARDWOOD RECORD

Pure Meanness. 



A certain tleimire little steuograplier in the 

 large office building -ivhere the Hardwood 

 Kecord has its home recently distributed a 

 modest ad in the form of a blotter bearing 

 the following legend : 



I want your patronage ; 



I am not the best steaograpUer in Cliicago — 



I don't claim to be : 



But I am pretty good. 



Come and see. My office is 



Koom . Ellsworth building. 



Some mischievous rascal secured a number 

 of the blotters and transferred the final 

 "good" of the fourth line to the end of the 

 third line, and posted the advertisements in 

 the elevator.s, much to the horror and disgust 

 of the stenographer and to the amusement 

 of sundry wicked tenants of the building. 



NeWs Miscellany. 



Immense Demand for Veneer Machinery. 

 I'erhaps in no other field of endeavor in any 

 way connected with the lumber business has 

 there been so rapid and widespread a develop- 

 ment during the past few years as in the veneer 

 industry. New enterprises are constantly being 

 launched in all parts of the country which will 

 undoubtedly meet with success in supplying the 

 great and ever increasing demand for veneers 

 tnd thin lumber of all kinds. 



This development is not without its beneficial 

 effect on manufacturers of veneer machinery — 

 foremost among whom is the Coe Manufacturing 

 Company of Painesville, O. These well-known 

 producers of high-class veneer machinery are 

 simply loaded down with orders. The Paines- 

 ville plant has been running fifteen hours' time 

 for weeks and a full night force will be put ou 

 shortly. This company furnished the machinery 

 equipment for the following recently established 

 veneer concerns, all thoroughly up-to-date in 

 every particular and manufacturing the very 

 highest grade of stock : 



The American Veneer & Panel Company. Xew- 

 port. Ark. ; White Veneer Company, Boyne City, 

 Mich. : Lenoir Veneer Company, Lenoir. N. C. ;

One of the most valuable machines produced 

 by the Coe Manufacturing Company is the Coe 

 automatic veneer drying machine. This dryer is 

 (he only one on the market which will dry ve- 

 neers perfectly flat and smooth without checks, 

 splints, wrinkles or discoloratlons. Some idea 

 of the growing popularity of this machine may 

 be had by glancing over the accompanying list 

 of concerns which have during the past few 

 weeks installed Coe automatic dryers :

Reorganization of the Creelman Interests. 



The several southern hardwood manufactur- 

 ing enterprises of which P. E. Creelman of 

 Chicago is the head were reorganized as a 

 new and single corporation at New Orleans 

 on Nov. 16. The name of the new corporation 

 is the F. E. Creelman Lumber & Manufactur- 

 ing Company. Its capital stock Is $1,000,000. 

 The headciuarters of the company will be in 

 the Hennen building. New Orleans, and It Is 

 expected that the new company will take over 

 all the affairs of the subsidiary ones by Jan. 

 1 at latest. 



The companies merged into the new enter- 

 prise are the Florida Lumber Company, Mont- 

 gomery, Ala., which has 21,000 acres of timber 

 land In Alabama, with mills at Evergreen, 

 Dophan, Creelman, Bellwood and Red Level; 

 the F. E. Creelman Lumber Company of Cairo, 

 111., with yards at Cairo and mills near Baton 

 Rouge, La.; the Krotz Manufacturing Company 

 at Melville, La., which has 30,000 acres of tim- 

 ber land and a new double circular mill, and 

 the Melville Box & Lumber Company of Mel- 

 ville, La., which has 10,000 acres of timber 

 land and a new sawmill. 



The products of the Creelman companies 

 include not only the full range of southern 

 hardwoods but cypress as well. It is said 

 that the total output of the several mills will 

 approximate 40,000.000 feet a year, which puts 

 the new company In the forefront of hard- 

 wood producers. 



It is said to be the intention of Mr, Creel- 

 man to remove from Chicago to New Orleans 

 and personally take active charge of his big 

 entei-prise. Incidentally It is noted that Mr. 

 Creelman Is a member of the board of direc- 

 tors of the r.ewly chartered Bank of America 

 at Chicago, which starts oft with a capital and 

 surplus of $500,000.
