about twenty-eight miles southeast of the city, whose liead- 

 quarters are about equally divided between the milling plant and 

 Knoxville. This company operates through an allied concern, the 

 Holston Box & Lumber Company, an important industry at Knox- 

 ville, a view of which is shown in one of the illustrations accom- 

 panying this article. 



One of the largest jobbing houses at Knoxville is the Logan- 

 Maphet Lumber Company, which has a distributing plant at the 

 Lonsdale suburb, and which institution is controlled by Joseph M. 

 Logan and Ed Maphet. This company also maintains a Jarge dis- 

 tributing yard at Cincinnati under the management of I. M. Asher. 



A lumber institution of no mean importance at Knoxville is the 

 Vestal Lumber & Manufacturing Company, of which J. Park Vestal 

 and Edward Vestal are the officers. This company's logs are drawn 

 largely from its own tracts of timber of which it has several in 

 east Tennessee, and are manufactured at its band mill at Vestal, a 

 suburb south of Knoxville, two miles from the city, which has 

 track facilities from both the Southern and the Louisville & 

 Nashville systems. A view of this company's log unloading tracks, 

 log yard and sawmill is shown herewith. A large distributing yard 

 is maintained at the same point. 



D. JI. Rose & Co., veteran lumber manufacturers at Knoxville, 

 have an admirably arranged sawmill and planing mill plant on the 

 bank of the Tennessee river at South Knoxville, which is illus- 

 trated in this article. 



Another important hardwood distributing yard is that of Walter 

 McCabe, who also maintains a second distributing plant at Waynes- 

 ville, N. C. 



The Knoxville Saw Mill Company, of which H. N. Saxton, .Jr., 

 is president and manager, has a high-class baud mill at Knoxville, 

 and is largely engaged in the production of poplar and oak for 

 export. 



Among allied lumber concerns is the new and high-class veneer 

 plant of the Knoxville Veneer Company, of which P. B. Raymond, 

 the veteran veneer man, who operates for so many years at In- 

 dianapolis, Ind., is at the head. This is one of the newest and 

 best types of veneer plants in the country, and Mr. Raymond is 

 adding to his reputation as a high-class veneer manufacturer by 

 the stock he is making at the Knoxville plant. The supplies of oak, 

 ash, gum, black walnut and other high-class woods come from logs 

 grown in the vicinity of Knoxville. 



Another important allied lumber industry is that of the Phila- 



"C. P. McMAHON, C. 1'. McMAUON & CO.
