Cartier-HoUand Lumber Company Moves Head Office to Grand 

 Rapids, Mich. 



The CartiiT ili.llami Lunilxr foinpany oi" l.iullngton, Mich., sends the 

 oUowlug self-explanatory letter to the trade: 



■"For the convenience of our customers and to bring us in personal con- 

 lact with them, we thought it advisable to move our sales office to Grand 

 liapids, and our new location will be Suite 7.'!1, Michigan Trust building. 



•E. M. Holland will be in charge of the Uraud Rapids office. On account 

 oi our mill cut not being completed, it will be absolutely necessary for 

 C. E. Cartler to remain at Ludington, but it is his intention to become a resi- 

 dent of lirand Rapids at the completion of the cut at Ludington, even 

 though the plant is moved elsewhere. 



"Our being on the ground at Grand Rapids we hope will be a benefit to 

 our customers and the trade in general, as we will be able to give them 

 better service and will have a better understanding of what they require. 

 Wt will be dally in communication by wire with the mill at Ludington in 

 order to facilitate the prompt handling of everything, especially the urgent 

 matters. We will hold open house at all times and would appreciate very 

 much if our friends will take advantage and call." 



The Cartier-HoUand Company has been cutting for some time on Its 

 splendid new mill at Ludington and has been fortunate this winter In 

 striking some exceptional logs. The mill is a really model plant in every 

 way and the quality of the stock it has been turning out is absolutely 

 above criticism. The new arrangement should place the concern in an 

 even better position to give satisfaction to its trade. 



Accepts Position as Sawmill Superintendent for John B. Ranson 

 & Co. 



Olin White, manager of the Nashville branch of Wistar, TJnderhili & 

 Nixon of Philadelphia, has resigned that position and accepted the position 

 of superintendent of the sawmills of John B. Ransom & Co., also of Nash- 

 ville. Mr. White located at Nashville five years ago when he originally 

 Installed the yard for Wistar, Underbill & Co., as the concern was then 

 styled. His efforts to build up a business in Nashville have been unusually 

 successful. Mr. White was formerly located in New York City, being 

 connected with the lumber department of Brunswick-Balke-Collender Com- 

 pany. His acquisition by John B. Ransom & Co. should be to their distinct 

 advantage. 



Mr. White is succeeded by Ed Underbill, a nephew of F. S. Underbill, 

 who has been Mr. White's assistant at Nashville for some time. It is 

 generally conceded that his elevation to the management of the Nashville 

 yard is justly deserved.

 ment that steam will be started this week In the big engine that is to 

 drive the double band mill and resaw now practically completed at Bates-

 months, In fact, ever since the plant was burned here last year and the 

 decision was reached to rebuild it at Batesville instead of Memphis. Mc- 

 Donough band saws and resaw have been installed and the equipment 

 throughout is heavy. One big engine will run both the band mill and the 

 resaw and will likewise furnish the motive power for the veneer machinery 

 which is to be installed. The latter will be set up at the rate of two 

 machines at a time until a battery of twelve has been completed. The 

 plant will have a very large capacity and has been built at heavy cost. 

 AI>out 1.000,000 feet of timber ha« been gotten out already and facilities 

 have been established, including the building of the Batesville South- 

 western, that insure a steady supply of logs for the big mill. The firm 

 owns nearly 20,000 acres of hardwood timber lands in that section and 

 will draw on these for the necessary raw material, .\bout 100 men will 

 be given employment, all told. Harry Harnell resides at Batesville and 

 will have general charge of operations tliere. Ho will be assisted by 

 Roland Darnell, a brother, with headquarters at Memphis. R. J. Wiggs,

 of the business not only for the plant at Batesville but for the mill of
