 & Sohn of Hamburg, the lumber and log importers, called on some of the 

 exporters here last week and incidentally let it be known that he intended 

 to open an office in the United States for the firm and take charge, buying 

 both lumber and logs, and shipping them to the German port. In other 

 words, he was to act as the permanent representative of the firm in the 

 United States, indicating that he thought his employers could thus get a 

 better inspection and lower prices than it has been possible to obtain 

 through the established exporters. He thought of locating either in Mem- 

 phis or in Cincinnati, with his preference for the former city. If so, he 

 would be in the market for oak, ash, hickory, walnut, poplar, gum. yellow 

 pine and practically all other commercial woods. Mr. Glaeser is about 

 thlrt.v .years of age. and has been in this country before, making occasional 

 trips to stud.v trade conditions.
