Huddleston Purchases Big Mill 



R. S. Huddleston, formerly of the .Astoria Mahogany Company, 

 of Long Island, has purchased the big sawmill of the Greenleif 

 Johnson Lumber Company, at Berkley, near Norfolk. Va.. and will 

 use it for the manufacture of veneers and other stocks of costly 

 woods. The plant is to be operated by the R. S. Huddleston Ma- 

 hogany Company, which is now being organized, but the personnel 

 of which is not yet quite complete. A specialty will be made of 

 what is known as hura crepitens, or mahogany from Dutch Guiana. 

 One shipment of these logs has already been landed at the mill, 

 having been sent by barge to Berkley from New York, where the 

 timber was discharged from a steamer. The mill building is about 

 100 by 150 feet, and Ira Johnson, president of the Greenleaf 

 Johnson Company, which has an office in the National Marine Bank 

 building here, says that very little additional machinery will be 

 required.
