hardwood lumber and it estimates that 25 to 30 per cent of its output 

 will be exported annually. 



All of the stockholders in the new company are actively engaged in its 

 operation and the heads of all departments are well qualified, by train- 

 ing and experience, for their duties. All were connected with one of the 

 three firms composing the merger. 



Mr. Turner, president of the company, is one of the best known lumber- 

 men of the South. He has a practical knowledge of all departments uf 

 the hardwood lumber business and has behind him a huge success in the 

 Darnell-Love Lumber Company, achieved through his own efforts and 

 those of the other members of that firm. 



The management of the new company, in making the announcement 

 regarding the consolidation, refers to the retirement of W. H. Russe, 

 formerly president of Russe & Burgess. Inc., from the hardwood trade. 

 It characterizes him as one of the best known lumbermen in Memphis and 

 ■ as one of the pioneers among southern lumbermen in entering the export 

 field in a large way. It then adds : 



"He deserves a well-earned rest but his friends in the lumber trade will 

 miss him greatly. It must be gratifying to him to know that the business 

 which he started will be continued and that it has passed into the bands 

 of a company some of the officers of which have been his associates for 

 many years." 



Franklin T. Turner, President 



F. G. Woods, Treasurer
