IN EASTERN TENNESSEE. 



(Special Correspondence.) 

 Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 22, 1904. 

 A new lumber firm has been organized 

 in Nashville, and is to be known as the 

 Frank & Jones Lumber Company. Mr. 

 Lou Frank, formerly with John B. Ran- 

 som & Co., and Mr. O. I... Jones of Little- 

 lot, Tenn., formerly in the mercantile bus- 

 iness, constitute the firm, and they will 

 deal exclusively and extensively in hard- 

 wood lumber. Mr. Lou Frank has recently 

 returned from the upper Cumberland, 

 where he made a deal for 1,000,000 feet of 

 hardwood lumber in Jackson County. 

 This will be brought down on barges 

 within the next sixty days, and by that 

 time a lumber yard will be established 

 near the river in East Nashville. Mr. 

 Frank stated that contracts for over 2,000,- 

 000 feet of lumber had been secured for 



delivery in 1905, and that the prospects 

 for a good business were very encourag- 

 ing. At present the company will have of- 

 fices in the Jackson building and until 

 January 1, and then the office will be re- 

 moved to the yards. The new firm will 

 sell direct to the consumer and will fill 

 a long-felt want in the lumber business 

 in Nashville.

The Davidson-Benedict Company is run- 

 ning a large number of its mills about 

 Nashville and over on the Cumberland 

 plateau. The management express the 

 view that business is not only holding up 

 v>ell, but that a good improvement is man- 

 ifest among purchasers, both in the num- 

 ber of inquiries and volume of orders.

Love, Boyd & Co. are running several of 

 their mills in Tennessee and Kentucky and 

 shipping out stock at a rate somewhat 

 above the average November shipments. 

 The cedar business in which the firm mem- 

 bers are interested is also moving along 

 in a gratifying way.

Jno. B. Ransom & Co., the largest ex- 

 porting firm here, find the foreign trade 

 a little more reassuring with the cessa- 

 tion of careless consignments by many of 

 the American shippers.

Soper & Hulsart of Michigan are ar- 

 ranging to locate their veneering factory 

 at Cookeville, Tenn., on the Tennessee 

 Central Railroad. Property for the site 

 has already been acquired. A number of 

 men will be employed.

A new company has been organized at 

 Carthage, Smith County, Tennessee, for 

 the establishment of a saw mill and hoop 

 factory. M. J. Malone, Ed High, H. J. and 

 J. W. Highers are those who are interested 

 in the venture. The plant will cost $5,000. 

 It will be located on the west bank of the 

 Cumberland River. A private ferry will 

 be operated to carry the products to the 



Tennessee Central Railroad.

A saw mill at Thomasville, Cheatham 

 County, Tennessee, owned by Lieberman, 

 Loveman & O'Brien of Nashville, was 

 burned a few days ago, with all its ma- 

 chinery and much finished lumber.

The Standard Oak Veneer Company at 

 Johnson City, Tenn., has recently acquired

 gun the erection of another factory. It Is 

 to be 50x120 feet, and will be two stories 

 high. Seventy men will be employed. 

 The company already employs 100 men. 

 Panels will be turned out at the factory.

C. B. Rowe, manager of the Chatta-

 factory manufactures product that is
