HARDWOOD RECORD 



r The Glue That Is Applied Cold n 



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 



Of vegetable glue insures absolute uni- 

 formity because of the very nature of pre- 

 paring it and becavise 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.

The Glue That Runs Absolutely Uniform 



bona flde sales at profitable rates. Tlie belief was entertained until a 

 lew months ago tluit tlie consignment of lumber abroad was a thing of 

 tlie past, but there is strong evidences of the recurrence of the practice, 

 iiuch to the chagrin of those whose legitimate business is interfered with 

 V this method of raising money on lumber cargoes. That exporters are 

 inking forward to better conditions, however, finds striking reflection 

 II the manner in which they are operating their mills. 

 .1. W. nateman has established a mill at MclCenzie, Tenn., for the manu- 

 irture of hardwood lumber and will also concentrate purchases of hard- 

 woods In that territory at that point, with a view to ultimate distribution 

 lo consuming interests. 



The .\rkansas Land & Lumber Company at Malvern, Ark., is cstablish- 

 ins! storage sheds at that point that will have a dally capacity of approxi- 

 mately 10,000,000 feet of lumber. This will enable the company to keep 

 its entire output under cover. 



The Chicago Mill & Lumber Company has recently purchased nearly 

 100,000,000 feet of hardwood timber in Woodruff County, .\rk. It is 

 located near Georgetown and the timber is traversed by the Missouri & 

 North Arkansas road, which has one of its termini at Helena, thus fur- 

 nishing adequate transportation facilities. The purchasing company is 

 l)ulldiug a big sawmill, box factory and veneer plant at Helena and the 

 timber will be worked up therein. The consideration is not known. 



=-< NASHVILLE >= 



The Tennessee Hardwood Lumber Company is getting out some mag- 

 nificent oak lumber on a tract of 1,400 acres being developed in Wayne 

 county, Kentucky. The company desires to sell the hickory on this tract, 

 said to amount to about 1,000,000 feet, as it does not handle hickory in Its 

 business. 



IS. S. Maddox of the Pennsylvania State College, appointed to the posi- 

 tion of forester of Tennessee some time ago, has announced his acceptance 

 of the position and will at once take up the work of looking after the forest 

 interests of the state. 



The recent high tide of the Cumberland river has permitted log operators 

 to begin raovemept, and several millions of feet of oak, poplar, chestnut 

 and other hardwood logs have been received. 



.\rthur B. Ransom, president of John B. Ransom & Co., and one of the 

 loading hardwood men of the south, has been elected a member of the board 

 of trustees of Vanderbilt University, succeeding the late Col. Nathaniel 

 Baxter. This honor is gratifying to local lumbermen. 



.\t the recent meeting of the Nashville Lumbermen's Club officers for 

 this year were nominated as follows : Henderson Baker, president ; C. E. 

 Hunt, vice-president; Harold Greene, treasurer; Cecil Ewlng, secretary; 

 .V. B. Ransom, Hamilton Love, P. J. Loevenhart, W. M. Farris, Jr., and 

 Morford Whitson, directors. The nomination is equal to election. Mr. 

 Baker, who will be the new president, has been vice-president, and is senior 

 member of Baker, Jacobs & Co. 



Vicegerent Olln White of the Order of Hoo Hoo has issued a call for a 

 concatenation for the middle Tennessee jurisdiction, to be held simultane- 

 ously with the annual meeting of the Nashville Lumbermen's Club, March 

 10, when a large gathering is expected. 



The Haskew Lumber Company at South Pittsburg, Tenn., has announced 

 plans to install equipment for the manufacture of all kinds of handles. 



Baker, Jacobs & Co. are developing a tract in Van Buren county, getting 

 out white oak and poplar and sawing the same near the scene of operations. 



Local building is not as active as usual at this season. Permits were 

 issued by the city building inspector for improvements to cost $79,885 

 during February, compared with $150,760 the same month last year. 



The Tennessee Supreme court has handed down a decision of much in- 

 terest to lumber and other shippers. The Dunlap Lumber Company of 

 Nashville was plaintiff. The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railway 

 sought to collect demurrage, the payment of which was refused and pro- 

 tested. The railroad has a rule of refusing to deliver shipments on spur 

 tracks, where payment of its charges is not made. The lumber company 

 contested this right, and received a decree for the value of a shipment of 

 lumber which the railroad had refused to deliver and sold for freight 

 charges. The court held that the railroad had no right to refuse to deliver 

 shipments because of the controversy, and that the rule was arbitrary. 

 This means that shippers can contest payment of charges on one shipment 

 without being arbitrarily dealt with as to others. 



The Nashville Lumbermen's Club has been greatly gratified to ascertain 

 that a settlement has Ijeen made of the case Involving milllng-in-transit 

 for which it has been fighting for some months. The principle contended 

 for has been sustained by the Interstate Commerce Commission, dealing 

 with the matter of substitution in the handling of logs and lumber in 

 transit. Advice has been received from the freight agent of the Louisville 

 & Nashville railway that the regulation will soon be put into force in ac- 

 coidance with the decision of the commission. 



J. W. Bateman will start a wholesale and retail lumber business at Mc- 



Kenzie, Tenn., and will soon have mills In operation. He also expects to buy 



the output of plants in that section and concentrate business at McKenzle. 



Miss Mary Hamilton Love and Otto Delph were married in New York. 



The bride is a daughter of John W. Love, a member of Love, Boyd & Co. 



Announcement is made of the coming marriage of W. M. Farris, Jr., to 

 Miss Mary Ilaynes of Murfreesboro, Tenn., to be solemnizi^d in April. Mr.
