Pertinent Information 



Kitchen Cabinet.s in Swiss Homes 



.\ repon l;y I'hilip Holland, at Basel, S%vitzerliind, says that in that 

 country a home is incomplete without a kitchen cabinet or a like piece of 

 furniture In the kitchen. As German is the language of the northern 

 Swiss, the Gern.an habits and customs prevail. These people are most 

 thrifty and systematic and iiave a place for everything and everything 

 In Its place. Almost every home is provided with an article of furniture 

 In the kitchen which selves as a receptacle for the various culinary articles 

 and supplies. 



Selling prices in Basel range from $14 to ?5G, according to size and 

 finish, some expensive cabinets being elaborately ornamental. Those on 

 display in furniture stores here are of local make. Sometimes they are 

 specially designed to lit into given spaces in the kitchens. The Swiss 

 artisan is adept in constructing such articles of furniture as require 

 careful detiiil work. 



The consul thinks it is likely that a market can l)e found in Basel for 

 the American-made kitchen cabinet if It can be proved to the public that 

 the article is equal to or superior to those In the local market and can be 

 sold for the same or lower price. Granting that this can be done, the 

 question nrlses of getting the article before the public. To do this, the 

 dealer must first be convinced that the article is salable. 



It is suggested that firms seeking to enter that market send a represen- 

 tative who speaks German to introduce the goods. 



Largest Cross-Cut Saw Ever Made 

 There has just been delivered to Hodney Burns Kedwood Novelty Com- 

 pany of Eureka, Cal., the largest cross cut saw that has ever been made 

 so far as is known. This is twenty-two feet three inches long and is 

 furnished with Redwood King pattern of teeth, which are exceedingly 

 long and are particularly adapted to sawing a high class of timber. The 

 saw was made on special order for felling and cross-cutting a redwood 

 tree twenty feet in diameter. Logs thirty feet long will be cut from this 

 and shipped in sections to San Francisco. These sections formed into a 

 log and stump hut will be on exhibition at the Panama Exposition at San 

 Francisco In 191.'>. 



On account of the excessively large diameter of the tree It was neces- 

 sary to order a special saw which would admit of the cutting of logs 

 without the use of an ax. There is shown herewith a photograph of the 

 saw, which was made by E. <". .\tkins & Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., from 

 which photograph some conception of its size can be formed. 



The use of this saw will necessitate the employment of two men on 

 either end. Saw will be exhibited in connection with the logs at the 

 exposition.
