MARIETTA LUMBER CO., Marietta, Ohio 



familiar to the hardwood trade of all sec- 

 tions, and everyone that knows him likes 

 him. He does business on his own per- 

 sonality, and it is a large business and a 

 good business. Jesse does not own any 

 saw mill directly, although his firm is in- 

 terested and a stockholder in quite a num- 

 ber, and he finds time to hold the most 

 important ofBce, as important almost as 

 that of president or secretary, in the Na- 

 tional Hardwood Lumber Association. As 

 chairman of the inspection bureau com- 

 mittee his services are invaluable. His 

 wide acquaintance and his habit of travel- 

 ing the country make him an ideal man 

 for the place. I remember the time we 

 had getting Memphis interested in the 

 National association, but now it is the 

 association's stronghold. 



1 also went up to see James Stark, of 

 James Stark & Co., and I want to say 

 emphatically that Mr. Stark, an ex-news- 

 ]iaper man, is a coming man in the trade. 

 He has a nice tight little business and it 

 is growing. 



I saw E. T. Bennett, the pioneer saw 

 mill man of Memphis. I don't mean he 

 had the first saw mill there, but he is 

 a pioneer in the strongest sense of the 

 term. When I first went to Memphis 

 five or six years ago. Mr. Bennett showed 

 nu a new kind of wood that he was ex- 

 perimenting with — it was gum. I thought 

 he was rather foolish, for a good many 

 smart men had experimented with gum 



and found it unsatisfactory. But he was 

 trying it out. The main objection to it 

 was that it would split and warp and he 

 was experimenting with it endeavoring \a 

 overcome those peculiarities. He bought 

 100,000 feet of logs the first year, found a 

 market for the red gum abroad and the 

 sap gum at home, and kept up his ex- 

 periments, and now gum lumber is an 

 assured success. Everybody wants it and 

 a good many would give a good deal if 

 they had E. T. Bennett's knowledge of 

 manufacturing it and his trade for it. 



I met Mr. Anderson, of the Anderson- 

 Tully Company, and "Bob" Cooper, of the 

 Cochran Lumber Company, on the Second 

 street car. They have a better car and 

 better service on the Second street line 

 than formerly. I don't know that the 

 "Second Street Car." a poem which ap- 

 peared in the Hardwood Record several 

 years ago, had anything to do with the 

 improved service. The boys around Mem- 

 phis are inclined to think it did, anyhow 

 it did not do any harm. 



I met Mr. Baker of Boston, Mr. Palmer 

 of the L. H. Gage Lumber Company and 

 W. E. Smith of Cairo, 111., and what do 

 you think? — I met George Stoneman of 

 Chicago and went to the show with him 

 to pass the evening. I intended the next 

 day to go out and see Goodlander & Rob- 

 ertson, Charley Gladden and the boys on 

 the south side, but right here I got the 

 telegram to come home. 



From Nea^r d^nd FolF 



CALENDARS STILL THEY COME. 



\V. J. Cude of Kimmins, Tenn., is out 

 with two that rellecl great credit on his 

 taste. We don't know where they got the 

 models for those pictures. If they grow 

 that kind of young ladies in Kimmins the 

 boys will all move down there. 



One is a highly colored young lady, evi- 

 dently taken in cherry picking time, as 

 she has cherries stuck all over her and 

 one in her mouth. The whole thing looks 

 good enough to eat. 



The other is an equally highly colored 

 young lady in a low-cut dress and a hat 

 with yellow flowers on it. We'd like to 

 see a girl like that. We'd like to sit on 

 the fence and see her go by, as it were. 



• • * 



Say. those southern fellows have a great 

 eye for female beauty. The Blanton- 

 Thurman Company of Memphis, Tenn., 

 are out with a calendar that is hard to 

 beat. It represents the head and bust 

 of a beautiful yoting lady. We didn't 

 see any young lady that looked like her 

 in Memphis. Of course, we were not 

 looking for beautiful young ladies — not 

 especially, but — well, we won't say any 

 more; our wife reads the paper. 



• * • 



Another from Tennessee and a beauty, 

 (ieo. E. Brown & Co. of McIVliniiville, 



Tonn., have a view of the water by moon- 

 light, which is very fine. There are also 

 some ships in the scene and a lighthouse 

 sending forth its mellow rays. Very fine 



and large. 



* • * 



The only one from Mississippi is from 

 J. H. Miner, but he holds, up his end all 

 right. It is a very elaborate design, with 

 cupid's heads, stars, church steeples and 

 things. The central figure is a young lady 

 fashionably dressed, but she has a pair 

 of wings. She wouldn't suffer in this 

 earth, and we don't see what she wants 



with wings. 



* * * 



Comin.g further north, where the blood 

 runs somewhat slower, the calendars nat- 

 urally become more staid. The Long- 

 Knight Lumber Company have a calendar 

 about such as you would expect W. W. 

 Knight and John Pritchard to select if 

 you knew them intimately. No expense 

 has been spared, and the calendar is a 

 fine one. The young lady in the picture 

 has her dress cut low, but not too low, 

 and the calendar is very nice and modest. 



* * * 



John Stratton of Campbellsburg, Ind.. 

 has what Kimball pronounces a dog-on 

 good calendar. He may have meant that 

 for a pun, for there is a dog on it. A
