The Whole South 

 To Draw From 



This is the day of "hurry up" orders — of urgent 

 needs. Our five mills each has a well assorted stock. 

 Frequently our ability to turn loose all five shipping 

 points on one order has enabled us to complete ship- 

 ment in 24 hours on 1 or 15 cars of some particular 

 grade or thickness of urgently needed lumber. That 

 would be impossible with but one shipping point. 



Would such facilities help you now? Try them 

 out with a guaranteed straight grade shipment. 



Clean Dealing is Our Business Policy

 lowing day. 



T. A. Ralston, representing William Horner of Keed City, Mich., one 

 of the largest maple flooring concerns in the country, stopped in Baltimore 

 last week on his way to New York. He stated that the demand for maple 

 flooring and other stocks was not urgent or large at this time, but that the 

 outlook was promising. It was his intention to stop over at Wilkesbarre, 

 Pa., in the expectation of securing a large order. 



An organization to be known as the Export and Import Board of Trade 

 is to be formed here for the purpose of aiding every effort made to augment 

 the foreign business of this port, with lumber as one of the commodities 

 to receive encouragement. A board of directors has already been elected, 

 and will act as incorporators of the new organization. This board Includes 

 among Its members John L. Alcock, John L. Alcock & Co., and Walter B. 

 Brooks, Hyland & Brooke Lumber Company. The details are yet to be 

 mapped out, but some of the leading men of the city have been interested 

 in the project. The board as such will not engage in business direct, but 

 will hold Itself ready to assist all efforts to build up the foreign business. 



According to the chief harbor master, F. J. Dodson. the lumber received 

 on the city wharves here during the last year amounted to not less than 

 93,000,000 feet, against 105,550,109 feet the year before. The drop is ta 

 be accounted for on the score of the great freeze last winter, when for 

 nearly three months vessels were unable to move in the river. 



Frank Helm of Richard P. Baer & Co. is back from a five weeks' trip to 

 Mobile and Bogalusa. At the former place he went over the operations 

 of the sawmill run there by the Magazine Hardwood Company, the manu- 

 facturing end of the firm, and at Bogalusa he looked after some matters 

 in connection with the completion of the sawmill erected there for the 

 manufacture of gum chiefly. This plant is about ready to start, and Is 

 expected to turn out large quantities of lumber. The logs are to be fur- 

 nished by the Great Southern Lumber Company. Mr. Heim stated that the 

 labor situation in the South continued to be troublesome, and that the 

 output of plants was curtailed largely on that account.
