HARDWOOD RECORD 



r The Glue That Is Applied Cold -, 



In Flush Veneered Doors 



The chief consideration is uniformly high- 

 grade glue. Manufacturers 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 



Uf 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.

 if states, but do not meet with approval of employers in Tennessee. A

The Lonlsvllle Hardwood Club has been watching legislative matters 

 ;it Frankfort closely, and has taken action on two important propoi5itions 

 One was the bill to abolish the State Forestry Commission, and inci- 

 dentally to do away with the position of the state forester, J. E. Barton, 

 who handles this work now, is an honorary member of the Hardwood 

 Club, the club havin; realized that his work is along practical and 

 effective lines. A resolution was adopted endorsing the work of the 

 forester's office and protesting against the passage of the bill. Late 

 reports indicate that It will be reported unfavorably by the committee 

 which has had It in charge, the prompt and vigorous action of the 

 lumbermen having had much to do with the result. The other matter 

 was the Glenn bill, which is Intended to increase the powers of the 

 .state insurance board, which now exercises supervision over and regula- 

 tion of tire insurance rates. The bill proposes confiscation of the rate- 

 making machinery of the fire underwriters, and in other ways is so 

 drastic that the withdrawal of the insurance companies from the state, 

 in the event of the enactment of the bill Into law, is regarded as cer- 

 tain. The Hardwood Club, after a consideration of the situation, went 

 on record as being opposed to the bill, and has asked the senate of the 

 legislature to defeat It. It has already passed the house. It Is not 

 known at this time whether the bill will go through or not. 



The Churcblll-Milton Lumber Company, the newest addition to the 

 Louisville hardwood trade, has elected officers, John Churchill being 

 mode president and T. Smith Milton secretary and treasurer. Mr. 

 Churchill Is comparatively new in the business, having been with the 

 Booker-Cecil Luiuber Company as vice-president for the past year, while 

 Mr. Milton Is well and favorably known to the trade all over the 

 country. He has been with a number of leading firms, retiring as 

 sales manager of the Louisville Point Lumber Company to become con- 

 nected with the new company, which is starting out under the most 

 favorable auspices. The company has been elected to membership In 

 the Louisville Hardwood Club and Its members assigned to important 

 committees by President Stuart R. Cecil. 



That black walnut is coming into Its own again Is the opinion ex- 

 pressed by many leading lumbermen. Trade conditions abroad, as well 

 as the fact that walnut is gradually being worked into a position of 

 prominence as an interior finish, which means that more of it will be 

 used for furniture manufacturing, make It seem desirable to members of 

 the walnut trade to stimulate domestic consumption, and that this is 

 going to happen is predicted by many of the leaders of the business. 



Bids will be opened about April 1 on the new plant of the H. B. Helm 

 berger Veneer & Lumber Company of New Albany. Ind. The new mill 

 will be for the manufacture of both lumber and sawed veneers, the com- 

 bination having become particularly popular In this territory of late 

 The mill building will be of reinforced concrete foundations and corru 

 gated iron walls it is expected to have the plant In operation early 

 in the summer. 



Local lumbermen have received information to the effect that the 

 Lebanon. Ky.. Lumber Company is considering removing its sawmill ta 

 Louisville. In case this is done the manufacture of beech flooring, 

 which is being handled by the concern on a small scale at present, will 

 be made a feature. The Glasgow Flooring Company, at Glasgow. Ky., 

 is one of the few concerns specializing in the manufacture of beech for 

 this purpose In Kentucky. 



It Is reported that Senate bill 279, which has been faTorably reported 

 to the Kentucky senate, was Introduced at the instance of the Kentucky 

 River Sawmill Association, an organization of hardwood lumber manu 

 facturers which was formed for the purpose of eliminating the depreda- 

 tions committed by alleged timber thieves. The bill referred to would 

 regulate the taking up of logs from stieams and would extend the 

 time during which logs both branded and unbranded may be reclaimed 

 from sixty to ninety days.

 posed of timber operators has been started at Harlan. J. E. Barton.
