tion organized at Oshkosh, with a capital stoclt of $10,000 to engage in 

 the manufacture of a broad line of wood products. The incorporators are 

 J. C. Young, Sr., H. L. Uutchins and J. C. Young, Jr. 



The Chas. W. Fish Lumber Company of Elcho, Wis., sustained a heavy 

 loss by fire on November 30 when the planing mill located in the north- 

 western part of the city of Antlgo was burned to the ground and prac- 

 tically all of the machinery rendered useless. The fire started shortly after 

 noon while the crew was at lunch and the origin has not been determined. 

 Other buildings nearby were saved with little damage. The mill was 

 modern throughout and driven electrically, consequently not much in- 

 surance was carried ou this unit. However, the Fish company already has 

 decided to rebuild it immediately. 



The Connor Lumber and Land Company of Laona, has recently made 

 an issue of ?500,000 of 8 per cent guaranteed first mortgage bonds, due 

 serially from 1923 to 1933, to' provide more adequate working capital and 

 otherwise finance the development of the business. The issue is guaranteed 

 by the R. Connor Company of Marshfield, Wis. It has been placed through 

 the First Wisconsin Company of Milwaukee and Baker, Fentress & Com- 

 pany, Chicago. 



The Super-Traction Company of Fo.^ Lake, a $300,000 corporation or- 

 ganized about two years ago to manufacture a new design of motor truck 

 with dual rear wheel sets, is negotiating for a permanent location in Fond 

 du Lac. A small factory is being operated in leased quarters at Fox Lake. 

 About a dozen trucks have been completed and are operating in the hands 

 of owners. The machine is designed for exceptionally heavy loads and has 

 been pronounced a success by experts. 



The Runnels-Cummibs-Emery Company of Markesan, which took over 

 the washing machine factory of the Folsom-Miller Company last summer 

 and resumed its operation, sustained an estimated loss of §10,000 by fire 

 of unknown origin on November 26. The plant has been working since 

 September 13 and will be idle only temporarily. 



The Kiel Woodenware Company, Kiel, has completed important improve- 

 ments and enlargements in its electric light and power plant and besides 

 providing much-needed capacity for its mill and factory, is now in posi- 

 tion to give 24-hour service to the village of Kiel, which derives its en- 

 tire public and private current needs from this plant. 



The Kinzel Lumber Company of Mehhill, has reopened its sawmill and 

 since November 21 is operating on a four-hour basis. The mill will op- 

 erate all winter ou hemlock and will also saw some hardwoods. 



The Lloyd Manufacturing Company of Menominee, Mich., maker of baby 

 carriages, doll cabs, wicker furniture, etc., is now employing 625 operatives 

 and expects to increase the number to 700 by January 1, when at least 

 a part of 56,000 square feet of additional floor space will become available. 



The Rockwell Manufacturing Company, Milwaukee, its principal oflicers, 

 and majority stockholders, have been made defendants in a suit insti- 

 tuted in the United States District Court at Milwaukee by the heirs of 

 Henry H. Rockwell, one of the founders of the company, who seek an ac- 

 counting and allege that no dividends have been paid in seventeen years, 

 despite the fact that the corporation has assets worth at least $700,000 in 

 excess of its liabilities. Immediate transfer into cash of assets valued at 

 $250,000 and the distribution of this sum as dividends is demanded in 

 the action. The complainants own 1,120 shares out of a total of 2.500 

 shares, while the remainder, it is stated are held by Mrs. Cordelia A. Moss, 

 said to possess 1,377 shares, her two sons, Marshall C. and John H. Moss, 

 owning one share each, and Louis C. Nuesse, secretary, also owning one 

 share. It is claimed that a short time ago members of the Moss family 

 offered to purchase all of the stock held by the plaintiffs for $60,000 and 

 have rendered it unsalable to outside interests because no dividends have 

 been paid since 1904. 



The John Schroeder Lumber Company, Milwaukee, has finally com- 

 pleted the purchase of the plant of the former Two Rivers Pail Company 

 at Two Rivers, Wis., and placed it In operation December 1. More 

 machinery is being installed and ice cream tubs will be added to the line 

 of products, including pails, tubs, etc. Fred Johannes, who managed the 

 plant under the former ownership, is retained in the same capacity by the 

 Schroeder interests. 



David Crawford, president of the Crawford Lumber Company of Cedar 

 River and Menominee, Mich., who has been residing in Chicago for many 

 years, has purchased a home on Park Ridge avenue in Marinette, Wis., 

 which he will occupy permanently with his family. This will enable Mr. 

 Crawford to be close at hand to the sources of timber and lumber pro- 

 duction. 



The Brewer Manufacturing Company of Manitowoc, has taken occupancy 

 of its new furniture factory, which is two stories high, 40 by 100 feet 

 in size, and equipped practically throughout with new electrically driven 

 machinery.
