 L^rade glue. Manufacturers of this modern 

 lype of door realize that its development 

 has been retarded because the unavoid- 

 able lack of uniformity in other types of 

 glue makes it impossible to know how

Use 



' )f vegetable glue insures absolute uni- 

 formity because of the very nature of pre- 

 paring it and because every pound of our 

 raw material is rigidly inspected. 



Vegetable Glue 



Is also a rigid and permanent adherent; 

 will not blister in sanding; has no dis- 

 agreeable odor; will not deteriorate in 

 standing — for a week if necessary; and 

 can be applied cold without any heating" 

 application of any kind in the glue room. 

 In addition, the average saving over 

 former glue bills has been twent}^ per cent 

 where vegetable glue is used.

-•<, BUFFALO >• 



The lake lumber receipts of ] i::.7;;."p.(mi(1 lid last season show a falling 

 oir of about eleven per cent from the previous year, but were nevertheless 

 ahead of 1011 by several million feet. For some seasons the people who 

 have brought considerable hardwood lumber into Buffalo by lake have 

 found mill prices on it so high that they have stood out of the trade pretty ' 

 nearly. Last year seems to have been more unfavorable than former 

 years. One concern that bought a tow on purpose to assist in this traffic 

 scarcely brought anything at all to its own yard and chartered the vessels 

 out to other parties, all because the East will not pay upper-lake prices 

 for hardwood lumber. 



O. E. Yeager will attend a meeting of the trustees of the National Hard- 

 wood Lumber .\ssociation ' at Chicago on January 1.3. He states that 

 Buffalo will make every effort to get the June convention. 



T. II. Wall and George Repp of the Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Company, 

 are spending a couple of w-eeks in Tennessee and Alabama, looking over 

 mill stocks. 



H. A. Stewart has returned from the Pacific coast, where he recently 

 went on a trip of inspection. He reports that all the lumber interests 

 there are looking for a boom in the spring. 



Hugh and R. D. McLean spent Now Year's at their old home at Thurso, 

 Que. The former will take a trip this month to the McLean hardwood 

 mills in the South. 



The National Lumber Company reports a pretty good demand for the 

 middle grades of maple flooring and oak flooring is also selling fairly well 

 and flooring generally holds firm in price. 



W. P. Miller of Miller, Sturm & Miller, .spent a week this month in Ohio 

 and Pennsylvania, looking after hardwood stocks. The yard has a good 

 amount of hardwood lumber coming in. 



The Erwin Lumber Company, of which George A. Corson is president, is 

 completing a lumber railroad at Erwin. Tenn., which will be finished this 

 month. The company's tract is well covered with various hardwoods. 



Davenport & Ridley are getting in hardwood stocks from Pennsylvania 

 and report trade as fair. Business is expected to pick up a good deal 

 during the present month. 



Anthony Miller reports the hardwood trade as rather quiet this month, 

 but a fair amount of various stocks is being called tor and the yard has 

 its usual good assortment. 



•< PHILADELPHIA >■ 



J. Randall Williams of J. Randall Wiliams & Co., says business for 

 the whole year has totaled up fairly well, but as to outlook considerable 

 adjusting to fit the changed tariff and currency bill is necessary before 

 a reliable pronouncement can be made upon future trading. 



J. T. Robinhold, secretary and treasurer of the Woodland Lumber 

 Company, says business for 1913 panned out better than was anticipated. 

 Buying will continue to be conservative until spring. 



H. G. Parker of Rayner & Parker, reports very good trading the first 

 eight months of the year, but a falling off in the last four months ; the 

 total, however, exceeds that of 1912. 



W. S. W. Kirby of the Kirby & Hawkins Company, testifies to a fairly 

 good year, and a promising outlook for 1914. If the railroads succeed in 

 getting the Increase of five per cent on freight rates to which they are 

 entitled, they will undoubtedly come into the market for heavy supplies, 

 and spend millions of dollars in improvements. 



Samuel H. Shearer of Samuel H. Shearer & Son, says business for 1913 

 has held its own, and prospects are for a more robust activity in the 

 spring. 



William P. Shearer has gone to Atkinson, N. C. to look after affairs 

 at his company's planing mill. 



Samuel B. Vrooman of S. B. Vrooman & Co., Ltd., states that 1913 

 was the best year in the history of the concern. Things are com- 

 paratively quiet now and the outlook is uncertain. 



J. Elmer Troth of the J. S. Kent Company, reports a very lair year in 

 spite of the numerous obstacles with which it had to contend. The 

 company is hopeful as to outlook. 



John W, Coles has no complaint to make over last year's trading. 

 There have been interruptions but the average business has been fair.
