EVANSVILLE 



Daniel Wertz. head of Maley and Wcrtz, hardwood lumber manufac- 

 turers, has returned from a business trip from Indianapolis and points in 

 the central part of the state. He reports that there has been a marked 

 improvement in market conditions during the past month or two and he 

 believes that trade will continue good the balance of the year. 



Announcement was made a few days ago to the effect that Fred Ayer 

 and Oscar Hicks had purchased the plant of the Spencer Wagon Works 

 at Chrisney, Ind., from John Albub and Alva Tuley. The new owners 

 have taken over the plant and are operating the same. 



Announcement was made at Shelbyville, Ind., a few days ago of the 

 purchase of the interests of Grafton Johnson, of Greenwood, Ind., in nine 

 hardwood lumber yards and wood working plants in Indiana and Illinois, 

 by Charles F. Mahley, of Jackson, Miss. Mr. Mahley was a former resi- 

 dent of Edinburg. The sale was closed at Greenwood. 



The plant of the Diamond Veneer and Lumber Company, in this city, is 

 included in the transfer. Other yards included in the transfer are situ- 

 ated at Osgood, Franklin, Edinburg, Roachdale, Hillsboro and Burkholder 

 Switch, in Indiana, and Grayville and Bridgeport in Illinois. The general 

 offices and headquarters for the nine yards will be in Shelbyville, it was 

 announced. The new owner has large lumber interests in the south. 



MEMPHIS 



The J. C. Bilbrey Spoke Company, Lexington, Tenn., is nearing comple- 

 tion of its new factory at that point, which will greatly increase its out- 

 put. This firm is engaged in the manufacture of spokes of all kinds and

It is announced, in dispatches received here from Cotton Plant, Ark., 

 that the Missouri & North Arkansas railroad will resume operations 

 December 1. Notice has been served on union employes of the road to 

 be ready on that date. This line suspended service several months ago fol- 

 lowing financial difficulties that attended a strike of its employes. It is 

 not known what financial arrangements have been made, but there is 

 general satisfaction over the promised resumption of operations, for the 

 reason that there is a large section of Arkansas and southern Missouri, 

 with a number of lumber and woodworking enterprises therein, which 

 has been largely without transportation service, since all trains were 

 annulled by the management. 



Chas. B. Dudley of the Dudley Lumber Company of Memphis, who is 

 one of the principals in the formation of the Dudley-DuBose Lumber Com- 

 pany, Inc., of New Orleans, is authority for the statement that establish- 

 ment of the new firm will not affect, in the slightest degree, the business 

 of the Dudley Lumber Company. The latter is engaged exclusively in 

 the sale of ash in both domestic and foreign markets, while the new com- 

 pany will handle all kinds of hardwood lumber in both channels. Mr. 

 Dudley will pay frequent visits to New Orleans in the interest of the 

 Dudley-DuBos Lumber Company, but he will devote most of his time and 

 attention to the affairs of the Dudley Lumber Company. 



R. M. Carrier, president of the American Hardwood Manufacturers' 

 Association, and head of the Carrier Lumber & Manufacturing Company, 

 Sardis, Miss., spent several days in Memphis last week.

 Association, is back from the plantation of R. J. Hackney of Brown & 

 Hackney, Inc., where, as the guest of Mr. Hackney, he enjoyed duck and 

 quail shooting. Mr. Townshend was quite enthusiastic about his trip, but 

 he did not talk a great deal about his shooting feats while in the Uacken- 

 sack state.
