The Kiel Woodenware Company, Kiel, Wis., has purchased a five-acre 

 building site with sidetrack facilities in Canipbellsport, Wis., where it con- 

 templates the erection of a new manufacturing plant. The company re- 

 cently broke camp east of Wausaukee, Wis., where a crew cut and hauled 

 about 950,000 feet of timber. About 140 carloads have been shipped to 

 the mills at Kiel, and the balance, about 40 cars, will be loaded and shipped 

 during the summer. 



The Langlade Lumber Company, Antigo, Wis., has adopted a whistle 

 code by which it may transmit fire alarms at the plant to the Antigo fire 

 department. 



The Racine Wood Working Company, Racine, Wis., has been incor- 

 porated under the laws of Wisconsin, and last week took over the inter- 

 ests of the defunct Racine Puttyless Window Company. The new organi- 

 zation is preparing to make many Improvements and additions to the 

 plant, making it one of the best woodworking institutions in the state. 

 A complete stock of general millwork, sash, doors, glass and general build- 

 materials will be carried in stock. Following are the officers of the 

 new company : President, W. S. Goodland ; vice-president, H. F. John- 

 son ; treasurer, G. Bahnemann ; secretary, F. Bahnemann. The plant is

 ized in Racine, Wis., for the purpose of manufacturing wood and metal 

 patterns. 



This year will perhaps see the last Batten's annual log drive down the 

 Embarrass river, near New London, Wis. It takes about six weeks to float 

 the logs down the river to the mill. The supply of timber that has fur- 

 nished logs for the last sixty years has been practically used up. 



Ten Milwaukee woodworking concerns have appended their signatures 

 to a pledge of loyalty and submitted it to President Wilson. It expresses 

 one of the most practical industrial offers as yet made the country since 

 its precipitation into the cauldron of war dangers. The signatories offer 

 their plants and the full production thereof for such disposition as the 

 government may see fit. Inasmuch as the plants may be applied to the 

 production of gunstocks, coihbat and escort wagons, ambulances, boxes 

 tor motor trucks, field telephones, wireless poles, tent pins, tent poles, 

 field desks, ammunition boxes, gun racks, and hundreds of other military 

 necessities, the offer should certainly be welcome in federal departments. 



The Western Coil Company, now operating in Chicago, is to establish 

 a plant for the manufacture of a big line of electrical appliances, portable 

 X-ray machines, violet ray instruments, electric signs, etc., in Racine, 

 Wis. The new jjlant will occupy the old Citizens' Telephone building,

J. A. Peterson, manager of the Midland Lumber Company. Chippewa

 would indicate.

The Hardwood Market 



-< CHICAGO >- 



The local situation is still uneventful, for the most part the version ot 

 the trade being divided as to predominating features. With the wholesale 

 element so strong in Chicago it is natural that one of the most common 

 topics should be consideration of the difficulty of getting stocks In from 

 the mills and the consistently advancing prices that the mills arc getting. 

 These combinations of circumstances have resulted in more or less of an 

 increase in hesitancy on the part of the buyers, but for the most part
