MEMPHIS MATTER. 



(Special Correspondence.) 

 Memphis, Tenn.. Nov. 22, 1904. 

 The enti-ees into Memphis of several 

 firms through the establishment of offices 

 or yard connections is one of the features 

 of the year in this hardwood district, 

 aside from the past "dull times" of sum- 

 mer. These firms have come in the 

 spring, in the summer and the fall. Oth- 

 ers will come in the winter. It seems that 

 the seasons make no difference at Mem- 

 phis.

When Memphis' two big fifteen-story 

 skyscrapers are completed perhaps there 

 will be a concerted onslaught from the 

 lumbermen to secure offices on the top 

 floor. The Memphis lumber offices are 

 moved and hauled about so much it is 

 difficult to keep up with some of them.
