MICHIGAN 

 HARDWOODS 



Our timber lands are in the lower 

 peninsula of Michigan and we sell only 

 the lumber produced from this source. 



The lumber is band-sawn in our 

 Cadillac mills and is piled and seasoned 

 correctly. 



Most of our output of Maple, Beech 

 and Birch lumber is further manufac- 

 tured by us into our w^ell-know^n "Elec- 

 tric" Flooring. We also produce and 

 market considerable I inch Basswood 

 and 1, l'/2' 2 and 3 inch Gray Elm; 

 grades piled separately as a rule. 



We are supplementing our supply of 

 superior timber with the best methods 

 of manufacture.

The Valley Log Loading Company says that it loaded about 400 cars 

 during June compared with 1S5 in May. but that, despite this percentage 

 increase of more than 100. the movement of logs is far short of normal, 

 which is something like 1.000 to 1,200 cars per month at this time of the 

 year. The lightness of loading is attributed by J, W. Dickson, president 

 of the company, to smallness of offerings incident to flood conditions and 

 the rains which have fallen since the flood waters found their way to the 

 sea. He estimates that there will be substantial expansion in logging'and 

 therefore in log movement during the current month but he makes it 

 clear that there is not the slightest prospect that normal movement of 

 logs on the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley lines of the Illinois Central will 

 bp sei'U during July. Prominent members of the trade here take the same 

 view. 



Memphis is to have still another two-unit flooring plant in addition to 

 the one of similar capacity now being constructed by the Hudson Hard- 

 wnod Flooring Company, a subsidiary of the Hudson-Dugger Company, 

 of this eity. The firm which is preparing to install this latest addition to 

 thf llooring manufacturing facilities at Memphis, however, desires that 

 its identity be concealed until it has progressed somewhat further with 

 its plans. Memphis now has eleven units in operation and the two now 

 being added, together with the two to be added in the immeiliate future, 

 will bring the total to 15 and will increase daily production to a point 

 where it will be somewhere between 250.000 and 300.000 feet. Flooring 

 pbints in Memphis are more active than any other group consuming hard- 

 wiM.d lumber. They are all running on full time and are finding plenty of 

 business to keep them going on that basis. 



James E. Stark, of James E. Stark & Company, Inc.. announces that the 

 new band mill of his lirm in North Memphis, which will, when placed in 

 operation, more than dou!)le the current output of the old mill, will be 

 started up about September 1. 



George C. Brown & Co. have cut out their timber in the vicinity of 

 Lake Village, Ark., and are planning to remove the machinery at that 

 point to some location convenient to their timber holdings in Grenada 

 County, Miss. This will probably be done some time this summer. 



The American Car & Foundry Company in east Memphis is so busily 

 engaged on current orders for new cars that it is not in position, accord- 

 ing to C. A. Price, manager, to render the railroads any assistance during 

 the strike of shopmen. It will be engaged in the construction of cars 

 for the Gulf, Mobile & Northern and the American Refrigerator Com- 

 pany until August 1. at which time it will begin the buihling of 1.500 cars 

 for the Southern Railway. It is working with a full crew of men. 



The F. H, Crow Company, which has been engaged in handling hard- 

 WDod lumber and tight cooperage stock at Dickson, Tenn., for some years, 

 has removed its offices to Nashville. It will continue to handle the same 

 pr.iducts as heretofore but it has opened a retail business in that center. 

 The yards at Dickson will be continued. Tliey will be used to concentrate 

 purchases in the territory tributary to that center. 



J. A. McAllister, formerly president of the Memphis Sash & Door Com- 

 pany, and more recently vice-president of the Cream City Sash & Door 

 Company at Milwaukee, Wis., is now vice-president of the York Lumber 

 & 'Mnnufacturing Company of Memphis. This firm is now operating the 

 up fn-date planing mill and millwork plant built to replace the one de- 

 str.iyed by fire a number of months ago. It has also, within the past 

 few weeks, increased its capital stock to $400,000 to take care of its en-
