Lamb-Fish Company as Host 



There are functions and functions, but the 

 excursion to its big Charleston, Miss., plant 

 encrineered by the principals of the Lamb- 

 Fish Lumber Company a few days ago 

 eclipsed anything in previous history in the 

 way of entertainment for lumbermen. 



G.^RRETT E. LAMB. CHARLESTON, PRESL 

 DENT 



I'resident Garrett E. Lamb and General 

 Manager Walter B. Burke of the Lamb-Fish 

 Lumber Company are justly proud of the 

 great manufacturing enterprise which they 

 have built up, and which is under .success- 

 ful operation. 



Taking advantage of the meeting of the 

 Hardwood Manufacturers' Association of the 

 United States at Memphis, the latter part of 

 January, the gentlemen referred to invited 

 a large number of their contemporaries, lumber 

 buyers and lumber newspaper friends to join 

 them in an excursion from Memphis to 

 Charleston and return. The invitation was 

 gladly accepted. 



The party was conveyed to Charleston from 

 Memphis on the evening of January 22 in a 

 special train of Pullmans, which arrived at 

 Charleston early the following morning. Here 

 surprises awaited the visitors. The first sur- 

 prise was a breakfast that was served in the 

 handsome clubhouse which would do credit 

 both in menu and service to any hotel in the 

 country. 



The morning was spent in visiting the great 

 sawmill plant of the company. This mill is 

 the largest hardwood mill in the Xlnitad States 

 and has an hourly capacity of approximately 

 10,000 feet of oak, gum and other hardwoods. 

 Twenty years ago when a white pine mill 



was erected at Duluth with a like capacity it 

 was regarded as a phenomenon in sawmills, 

 but this output means a good deal more in 

 a hardwood mill of tliis enormous capacity. 

 The operations of the Lamb-Fish Lumber 

 Company are unique in many respects. The

 MANAGER
