HARDWOOD RECORD 



Louisville, a Real Gateway 



The floods which were recorded in the Ohio A'alley a few weeks 

 ago haA'e made one point extremely clear to the lumbermen of 

 the country, and that is that Louisville is in truth and in deed 

 the Gateway to the South. 



For a considerable period the only way by which goods could 

 be moved into the South, and from the South into the territory 

 north of the Ohio river, was by Louisville. 



Not only was traffic moved through this city, as under normal 

 conditions, because of the splendid geographical position which 

 it occupies, but under the stress of storm and flood Louisville was 

 the last to be seriously impeded and the first to recover full pos- 

 session of traffic facilities. 



There is a corollary, an implication, a deduction, or what you 

 will, to be drawn from this: and that is that the same c'onditions 

 which maintain Louisville as the natural gateway for traffic during 

 flood season, make it the ideal gateway for the movement of hard- 

 wood lumber under all conditions.
