 Maley claims he can buy more walnut 

 lumber to-day than he can quartered white 

 oak.

One reason why Henry Maley Lninbcr 

 Company will operate on the river here- 

 after instead of where their present mill 

 is situated, is to save car service and track- 

 age charges. They will save at least •$',-

BOOKS AND CATALOGUES. 



The Link-Belt JIachinery Company's 

 catalogue is so arranged and indexed as to 

 make it easy for reference. They design 

 and build elevating and conveying ma- 

 chinery for handling raw and manufac- 

 tured products of every kind in any quan- 

 tity and to suit the local conditions of 

 each case. It is. therefore, impessible to 

 issue a complete catalogue of link-belt ap- 

 pliances, but tlie one at hand is what 

 might be called a complete brief. The 

 lumber trade and allied lines were the 

 first to recognize the value of link belting 

 and a portion of this catalogue, as well as 

 a special booklet, is devoted to this dis- 

 tinct business. Some of their specialties 

 in this line of worlv are designated and 

 fully described and illusti-ated under the 

 following heads; 



Elevators and conveyors for baudling 



to treat the subject authoritatively, and he 

 has taken it up in all its phases from the 

 beginning of time to the present day. The 

 book is also handsomely illustrated, show- 

 ing the primitive and modern methods of 

 logging and manufacturing. 



Baldwin, Tuthill & Bolton, the well- 

 known manufactnrei-s of saw and knife 

 fitting machinery and tools, have issued 

 a supplemental edition to their 1002 cata- 

 logue. It is an exact reproduction of the 

 big catalogue first issued reduced to one- 

 fourtli the size. It shows and describes 

 every machine given in the large edition, 

 ami if n<it quite as showy lias the ml- 



AN OBER LATHE. 



The accompanying cut illustrates th? 

 new 22-inch Xo. 2 lathe manufactured by 

 the 01>er Manufacturing Cimqiany of 

 Chagl-in Falls, Oiiio. The purpos'e of this 

 article, aside from describing the merits of 

 this particular machine, is to interest those 

 in the hardwood manufacturug business in 

 the line of work frr which this niachine

vantage of couvenieace in size for han- 

 dling and preserving for reference. 



A very tastefully gotten up little book- 

 let is issued by the American Blower Com- 

 pany of Detroit, Mich. Its object, so it 

 says, is to briefly acquaint their friends 

 and patrons with their unequaled manu- 

 facturing facilities. It is really a liook 

 of illustrations, showing a birdseye view 

 of their entire plant and interior views of 

 the different departments. 



"A History of the Lumber Industry in 

 the State of New York" is tlie oflicial 

 title of Bulletin .".4 issued by the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, through the 

 Bureau of Forestry. It is a very compre- 

 hensive report, both useful and entertain- 

 ing, of the development of th? lumber in- 

 dustry in the Empire State. It was pre- 

 pared b.v Col. William F. Fox. superin- 

 tendent of forests in that state, and a col- 

 laborator of the government Forestry 

 Bitreau. Colouel Fox is fitted lioth by 

 study and by experience as a lumberman 



was constructetl. It is a most valuable ad- 

 junct to a hardwootl mill, wince it requires 

 but little ix>wer, can be oi>erated very 

 cheaply and utilizes to the best advantage 

 stock unfit for most any other finishetl 

 pruduct. There is also, we are informed, a 

 good stable market for such goods. If you 

 have not investigated the practicability of 

 adding something of this nature to yimr 

 line of work, we seriously recoinincnd that 

 you look into the matter now. 



The Ober Manufacturing Company will 

 be glad to ftn-nish a catalogue and full 

 information regarding thii-' particular lathe 

 or any other of their several makes to 

 those interested. The new 22-iiicli Xo. 2 

 lathe shown herewith is for turning ham- 

 mer, hatchet, auger, file, knife and chisel 

 handles, porch spindles, tent stakes, ni.il- 

 lets and other similar work. It will tnni 

 from 1.50 to 2.")0 hatchet handles' per li mr 

 and other work accordingly. It will turn 

 the work round, oval, square or with aii.v 

 number of corners, ur almost any con- 

 ceivable shape the whole length at once.
