 pany has purchased additional ground ad- 

 joining its old site and in addition to the 

 main buildings of the plant will construct 

 a handsome office building.

 Pittsburg, Pa., October 22, 1904. 



The planing mills of James B. .Johnson, 

 located at Center avenue and Beitler 

 street. East End, were burned, with a total 

 loss of $20,000. Johnson's loss in build- 

 ing, machinery and stock, was $10,000. 

 The yards were fairly well stocked with 

 finished lumber, nearly all of which was 

 consumed. ,The mill was a big frame 

 structure and one of the largest and best- 

 known planing mills in Pittsburg. It will 

 probably be rebuilt.
