Th3 "HOOSIER," the rip saw which makes profitable 

 dimension manufacture and grade refining at the mill 

 possible. Hundreds of i:sers already — you will be an- 

 other if you will let us tell you all about it — Will you? 



Easiest Handling 



buy the 



Hoosier Self Feed Rip Saw. This machine has earned thousands 

 of dollars for owners in the manufacture of dimension lumber, crating, 

 etc., because its entirely novel design, resulting in surprising ease of 

 operation and adaptability, makes possible a profit where a loss is 

 often expected in this work. The 



Hoosier Self-Feed Rip Saw 



has a positive and powerful feed which handles the heaviest material 

 the sawmill takes just as readily as the lightest. 



The table, raised and lowered with the crank in front of the ma- 

 chine, is always level — always securely locked. 



The Hoosier rips anything up to 6 inches thick and 17 inches wide. 

 It feeds 35, 75, 100 or ISO feet a minute.

Work is now being done on the plant formerly owned by the Eagle Box 

 Company, located on South Fifth and I streets, Fort Smith, in overhauling 

 and enlarging the capacity of the plant, which in the future will be 

 known as the N. A. Kennedy Box Company. This property passed into 

 the hands of the Kennedy Supply Company of Kansas City, Mo., about two 

 years ago as the result of a foreclosure proceedings, but was never oper- 

 ated by the Kennedy company until recently. Formerly this plant has 

 given employment to ten or twenty people, but when the new machinery 

 has been installed and the plant is fully equipped it will require the 

 services of some 100 or more people. It has heretofore used about a car 

 of raw material per week, but when operating under the new order of 

 things it will consume about one car of lumber per day. The plant for- 

 merly turned out baskets and crates for use in shipping fruit. To these 

 lines will be added tubs for creamery butter, boxes and other wooden 

 receptacles. The large two-story brick building which has been used for 

 storage and warehouse purposes is being equipped with machinery and will 

 constitute a part of the manufacturing plant. The Kennedy Supply Com- 

 pany is a big concern with two plants in Kansas City, one in Omaha, 

 and one in Sioux City, Iowa. N. A. Kennedy, the head of the company, 

 has been in Fort Smith recently looking over the new plant and arrang- 

 ing for its completion.
