 that Harry W. l'"agin, formerly of Fagin & Kirlcpatrlck, has become a 

 stockholder in that company and at a recent meeting of the board of 

 directors was elected vice-president. 



The next two or three months will see the beginning of the largest 

 building operations Columbus has been fortunate enough to witness for 

 many years past. The prospects for building in Columbus in 1914 and 

 1915 are better than they have been for years, considering the v.nlue of 

 the buildings and the improrement thereby to the city. The architects 

 are just beginning the plans for these buildings in some instances and 

 in others the drawings are nearing completion. But that these great 

 improvements are to be made is certain, the aggregate cost of the seven 

 buildings being about $3,000,000.

Secretary Benbow of the Sowers-Leach Lumber Company says trade is 

 rather quiet although prices are holding up well. 



Manager Hodil of the Virginia Lumber Company says that the hard- 

 wood trade is holding up well and prices are firm. 



R. W. Horton of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company reports a little 

 slowness in the past week due to the intervention of the Thanksgiving 

 holiday. He says the factories are still the best buyers although yards 

 are buying a little. The car supply appears to be spotty ; some places 

 are being well provided while others have a scarcity. 



.T. A. Ford of the Imperial Lumber Company says the weather has been 

 against an active movement in hardwoods. Prices are Just about the 

 same and the demand is fair. There is an improvement in the car supply. 



George P. Morgan of the Mercereau Lumber Company of Parkersburg, 

 W. Va., and E. M. Bonner of the Diamond Lumber Company of the same 

 city were in Columbus recently on business. 



=-< TOLEDO y 



President W. S. Booth of the Booth Column Company has just returned 

 from a trip to West Virginia where he purchased 300,000 feet of poplar 

 and a car of oak lumber. Mr. Booth states that business has been 

 splendid with his concern this year, which far exceeded the business of 

 last season. Next week this concern will begin operating its plant but 

 eight hours a day which will be continued until the first of January when 

 the annual inventory will be taken. Following this the plant will again 

 run full time. 



The Toledo Bending Company reports business a trifle dull just now, 

 orders coming In more slowly. As this is the "off time" for this class 

 of business it leaves conditions about normal. 



The Skinner Bending Company reports a fair business, orders beginning 

 to come in more slowly, however, both in the bending and wheelbarrow 

 departments. While prices have a tendency toward depression, this is 

 believed to indicate only a slow demand and a desire on the part of a 

 .sood many concerns to unload what stock they have on hand, in an 

 effort to turn their w-ares into ready money. 



Blood poison resulting from the infection of a small boil behind one 

 of his ears caused the death during the last week of Howard M. Smith, 

 prominent Toledo lumberman, well known to the trade throughout this 

 section. Mr. Smith's father operated the first sawmill ever located in To- 

 ledo in the early days \^'hen this section was rich in fine hardwoods. 

 These sawmills finally developed into the pioneer lumber yard of Toledo 

 under the title of the W. H. H. Smith Company. During the past three 

 years Mr. Smith has been conducting an office business in Toledo. He 

 leaves a wife, three daughters, a son and a brother.
