HARDWOOD RECORD 



r The Glue That Is Applied Cold -, 



In Flush Veneered Doors 



'I'hc cliiof consideraiion is uniformly high- 

 grade glue. Jklanufacturers of this modern 

 type 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 

 long a door will stav in condition. The 



Use 



Of 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 twenty per cent 

 where vegetable glue is used.

in this business, will make liis lieadquartcrs at Madison and will have 

 charge of the manufactming end of the business. 



S. B. Anderson, president of the .\nderson-TuIly Company, Is one of a 

 tommittee of three to superintend tlie work of installing a levee system 

 that will protect North Memphis from overflow during high water in the 

 -Mississippi and Wolf rivers. Judge .\. C. Floyd and L. M. Stratton are 

 the other two members. The last legislature authorized a bond issue of 

 $500,000 for this purpose and the proceeds of this will be used to defray 

 the expenses Incident to the construction of the levees. The North Mem- 

 phis district is noted for its many lumber and woodworking enterprises 

 and this movement Is regarded as of vital interest to them. 



The big hardwood mill of George C. Brown & Co. at Proctor, Ark., Is 

 closed down, as are also the plants operated by the Mark II, Brown 

 Ijumber Company at Mounds, Ark., and .1. H. Bonner & Son at lleth, Ark. 

 These companies have taken this action because they wished to reduce 

 their stocks before another flood made its appearance in the Mississippi. 

 They suffered considerable loss during the visitations of 1912 and 1913 

 and say that they do not expect to carry as large stocks as they had on 

 hand during the spring of both of those years. George C. Brown & Co. 

 are taking advantage of the cessation of operations to make extensive 

 repairs, and they will later install a resaw. The Mark H. Brown Lumber 

 Company has been closed down since December 20 and it is expected that 

 it will resume operations some time this week. Steps are being taken, as 

 noted in II.4rdwo(jd Record recently, to strengthen and standardize the 

 levees In charge of the St. Francis Levee Board, but the lumbermen having 

 extensive interests in that territory are taking precautionary measures 

 against carryihg big stocks that may be subject to damage by high water. 



The Goodiander-Robertson Lumber Company has taken a lease on new 

 yards closer to tiie South Memphis lumber district and will begin storing 

 lumber thereon immediately. Later the oflices will be removed thereto 

 from their present location. The new yards are expected to greatly facili- 

 tate the company in the handling of its business. 



The band mill of the Gayoso Lumber Company in New South Memphis 

 has been about completed and is practically in readiness for operation. 

 This compan.y several years ago bouglit a considerable amount of timber 

 in Tunica county. Mississippi, and for a time brought this to. Memphis and 

 Iiad it cut by custom mills. It decided several months ago to install a 

 mill of its own .Tiid purchased the machinery from a firm in Mississippi. 

 .\lthough the mill bad been used somewhat, it is as good as new and will 

 cut 40,000 to 50,000 feet per day. W. A. and C. R. Ransom are the prin- 

 cipal holders of the Gayoso Lumber Company. 



The Bradley Lumber Company has recently been granted a charter 

 under the laws of .\rkansas. It is located at Warren and has a capital 

 stock of .125.000. 



The Arkansas Lumber Company has been organized at Arkadelphia, Ark., 

 and is now getting ready for business. It is capitalized at $10,000. 

 N. v., II. L. and V. H. Wright are the incorporators. 



The Southern Hardwood Lumber Company has been launched at Deca- 

 tur. Ala. James W. Adair is president. E. W. Himes is vice-president and 

 general manager, and R. M. Lipscomb is secretary-treasurer. The company 

 is engaged in the manufacture and wholesale handling of both southern 

 hardwoods and yellow pine. All of the officers of the firm have had a 

 wide experience in the lumber business. Mr. -\dair will have charge of the 

 sales department, while Mr. Himes will look after the shipping end of the 

 business. 



Weather conditions since the first of the year have been practically 

 ideal for logging operations, and good progress is reported in this work. 

 There has been very little rain since the new year opened, and the move- 

 ment of timber is fairly full. The receipts by river, however, are com- 

 paratively small because the water is so low that rafting is out of the 

 question and towing is effected with more than usual difficulty. Practically 

 all of the mills here are well supplied with timber at present, but it is 

 recognized that weather conditions during the next few weeks will play 

 an important part in determining whether or not there will be an adequate 

 supply of raw material for the plants here and elsewhere in this territory.
