 wood and cypress business in the South.

 Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 5, 1904. 

 Building operations in the twin cities 

 are extensive for the season of year, and 

 much of the work now going on is in large 

 buildings calling for considerable high 

 grade interior finish. The result is a 

 steady demand from the sash and door 

 factories to fill these special orders. Min- 

 neapolis building permits for October were 

 valued at $538,135, a larger total than for 



July or August.

Lee Gibson of the Medford Manufactur- 

 ing Company, Medford, Wis., was in Min- 

 neapolis a few days ago, looking after their 

 hemlock business. They are not worrying 

 about the marketing of their hardwood 

 output, as they have sold it all to the 

 American Hardwood Lumber Company of 



Madison.

James A. Noone, the hardwood whole- 

 saler of 15 Park Row, has been appointed 

 permanent receiver for the Vossnack Lum- 

 ber Company, hardwood dealers of Long 

 Island City, and the concern will be dis- 

 solved. It was reported in these columns 

 in June last that the company had been 

 placed in Mr. Noone's hands as temporary 

 receiver upon the application of Herman 

 Vossnack, Jr., to the courts, claiming his 

 dissatisfaction as to its management, at 

 which time the final hearing as to the per- 

 manency of the receivership was deferred 

 until the October sitting of the court, with 

 the above result. It is a voluntary disso- 

 lution, without any financial embarrass- 

 ment, as the receiver's schedule shows as- 

 sets of $32,807 and liabilities of $24,155, 

 and everyone will be paid in full. This 

 company was organized several years ago 

 by Herman Vossnack, Jr., and has always 

 made a specialty of thin basswood, a 

 line in which it has been very successful. 

 A little over a year ago it was incorpo- 

 rated through the addition of W. N. Coo- 

 per, the large lumber manufacturer of 

 Asheville, N. C, and Max Mosson, the 

 Brooklyn hardwood dealer, to its per- 

 sonnel.

W. H. Russe, Russe & Burgess. Mem- 

 phis, the genial gentleman of many titles 

 in lumber association affairs, is in town 

 visiting his friends in the trade. Mr. 

 Russe is the same wherever he goes (smil- 

 ing and popular), but no one who knows 

 him or ever meets him would ever think 

 he came from so close to Missouri. He, 

 of course, had some lumber to sell, but 

 didn't look worried about it a bit. In fact, 

 looked like a genuine "stand patter," and. 

 Judging from a few remarks he made, 

 that's what he's a-doin'.

John Cathcard, the large hardwood 

 manufacturer and wholesaler of 115 

 Franklin street, city, and mills at Deca- 

 tur, Ala., Glasgow, Ky., and latterly at 

 Pittsfield, Vt., has just returned from a 

 tour of inspection at his new plant at 

 Pittsfield, and reports everything as pro- 

 gressing nicely all along the line. The 

 new operation at Pittsfield consists of a 

 modern band mill, which is cutting on a 

 tract of about 50,000,000 feet of birch, 

 beech and maple, which he pronounces 

 the "best ever." Some of this stock will 

 be in line for market shortly and Mr. 

 Cathcard prognosticates a veritable hot-
