 with the IliKliiock-Orleans Cjpress Company, and Charles II. Kuddock of 

 New York. H. S. Currle, a brother of the head of the firm, will be man- 

 ager of the concern. The concern, which will use all electrically driven 

 machinery, will make an Investment of about $200,000. 



WISCONSIN 



The It. .McMlHeu Company, 033 High street. Oshkosh, has recently 

 increased its authorized capitalization from $200,000 to $400,000 for the 

 purpose of accommodating the past growth of Us business and to provide 

 funds for future e.tpansion. Plans are still indefinite, but it is believed 

 that before the niid<lle of summer it will be necessary to effect an increase 

 in capacity to meet demands growing out of the revival of construction 

 operations. John G. Morris is president and Harry N. Hart secretary and 

 treasurer of the company. 



The Schnorr Box Company, Manitowoc, is planing to rebuild that por- 

 tion of its factory and engine room which was badly damaged by lire on 

 .April 12, causing a loss estimated at between $25,000 and $30,000. Four- 

 teen machines will require replacement. The company erected an addition, 

 7.") by no feet, only a short time ago. 



The Peterson Boat Works at Sturgeon Bay have liecn purchased by 

 Elmer Anderson, who has been assistant to Mr. Peterson for many years. 

 The business will be continued under the title of Anderson Boat Works, 

 manufacturing rowboats as well as power vessels, and specializing in hull 

 and equipment repairs and replacements. 



The American Tool Chest Company, Milwaukee, sustaine<l an estimated 

 loss of $35,000 by lire, which gutted its factory at Fifty-fourth street and 

 Lisbon avenue on April 10, at the height of a raging blizzard, which was 

 the worst of the year. It is likely that the plant will be rebuilt and 

 re-equipped at once, according to John II. Ehlert, 799 Forty-second street. 



The Penokee Lumber Company of Mellen has amended its corporate 

 articles for the purpose of changing the location of its headquarters from 

 .Mellen to Ashland, Wis. 



The Wachsmuth Lumber Company, Bayfield, one of the leading opera- 

 tors In the Chequamegon Bay region, resumed the operation of its sawmill 

 on April 14. on a full ten-hour a day schedule, with a full crew of men. 

 The planing mill, excelsior plant and shingle mill were placed in operation 

 at the same time with capacity crews. Business has revived to the extent 

 that full capacity production will be carried forward for at least live 

 months. 



A. O. Myrhe, formerly of Stillwater, Minn., who recently purchased the 

 property of the Brown Safety Ladder Company at River Falls, Wis., has 

 completed the installation of additional equipment and is now conducting 

 the plant as a producer of sash, doors, millwork, etc. Mr. Myrhe is 

 organizing the business as the Pioneer Manufacturing Company. His son, 

 Alfred Myrhe. will be associated with him as business manager. 



The Wisconsin Legislature has recorded its approval of the movement 

 for reforestation in this state by adopting with practically no dissenting 

 voice the so-called Titus resolution which provides for a referendum upon 

 a proposed constitutional amendment enabling the commonwealth to incur 

 indebtedness in rebuilding its timber resources. It will lie necessary for 

 the resolution to be approved by the next biennial session of the Legisla- 

 ture in 1923 and then be submitted to the electors before it can take effect 

 as a constitutional amendment. 



Building operations in Milwaukee so far this year show a considerable 

 gain over the corresponding period of 1920. From January 1 to April 15, 

 1921, there were Issued 6.624 permits, with a total value of $5,102,317, 

 while in the same period of 1920 the number of permits was 5. 835 and 

 the total value $4,975,855. 



R. W. Clark of Washington, representing the Interstate Commerce Com- 

 mission, held a hearing at Marinette, Wis., on April 16 on the application 

 of the Wisconsin & Northern Railroad Company for permission to abandon 

 that part of its line running from Taylor Rapids to Girard Junction, in 

 Marinette county. W. L. Ballenbeck. superintendent of the railroad com- 

 pany, testified concerning the unprofitable operation of the division. Set- 

 tlers and other property owners along the division opposed the abandon- 

 ment of the line. Loggers and lumbermen have an interest in the matter 

 because the division passes through a country that still contains much 

 timber. 



The Hardwood Market 



CHICAGO 



The Chicago hardwood market continues to "reward fighters" when they 

 fight hard enough. Business is hard to get, but nevertheless considerable 

 business Is being done. Where one manufacturer or wholesaler is found 

 who has done "no business" several will be discovered who are disposing 

 of a number of cars each week and feel that demand will continue to 

 improve. The increased activity in the automobile industry gives hope 

 of an early resumption of buying from this quarter, though the revival
