 start and travel the length of the discharge table and stop just a» 

 the knife reaches the top of its stroke. The veneer cut off is 

 thus deli\ered to the end of the discharge table. 



As an enthusiastic operator becomes familiar with the possi- 

 bilities of this machine, the saving in time and in veneer are both 

 remarkable. Should it be more desirable to operate the knife 

 and chains by means of hand levers instead of foot pedals, this 

 machine can be so equipped. 



The Late Maot Kosse 



Death Comes Suddenly to Max Kosse 



Max Kosse, Presi- 

 dent of the Ameri- 

 can Walnut Manu- 

 facturers* Associa- 

 tion and founder of 

 the Kosse, Shoe & 

 Schleyer Company, 

 Cincinnati, died on 

 June 25, at the 

 Christ Hospital, 

 Cincinnati, follow- 

 ing an operation. 

 Vlr. Kosse, who 

 w^as one of the fore- 

 most w^alnut and 

 veneer lumber ex- 

 perts in the United 

 States, w^ent to the 

 institution from his 

 home in Avondale, 

 a suburb of Cincin- 

 nati, on June 25, to 

 have a boil removed 

 from his right 

 cheek. It was not 

 until six hours after 



Mr. Kosse had entered the hospital that he was operated on. After 

 the boil had been removed Mr. Kosse was operated on for a 

 catarrhal affection from which he had been suffering for several 

 months. He failed to rally following this operation and died soon 

 after being taken from the operating room. 



The Kosse, Shoe & Schleyer Company, of which Mr. Kosse was 

 the founder and president, is one of the largest walnut and veneer 

 manufacturing firms in the Middle West. The company is also 

 one of the largest export concerns of hardw^ood lumber in the 

 country. Mr. Kosse, who was born in Berlin, Germany, came to 

 this country thirty years ago as the American representative of 

 the Theodore Francke Erben Estate of Berlin, importers of Ameri- 

 can hardwood lumber. He looked after the interests of this cor- 

 poration in the United States until 1899, when he severed his con- 

 nections, to organize the Kosse, Penrod & Prouty Lumber Com- 

 pany, which was better known as the K. & P. Lumber Company. 

 In 1911 this concern was succeeded by the Kosse, Shoe & 

 Schleyer Company. Perry V. Shoe, is the only remaining member 

 of the original Kosse, Shoe & Schleyer Company. Mr. Schleyer 

 having disposed of his interests and resigned as treasurer of the 

 company. 



Mr. Kosse w^as apparently in good health a few days before his 

 death. He attended a meeting of the National Lumber Exporters' 

 Association at Chicago on June 22. It was at this meeting that the 

 boil on his cheek made its appearance. He became troubled with 

 the boil at Indianapolis on June 23, w^here he stopped off for sev- 

 eral hours on his w^ay to Cincinnati. He w^as preparing to motor to 

 Paris, Ky., on June 24 to visit Otto Edwards, the company's log 

 buyer in Kentucky, when the boil became so painful that he 

 was forced to abandon his trip.
