 which his company has been doing business and otherwise getting a line 

 on conditions. He has also swung around the circle up north preparatory 

 to taking an active hand at his new post. 



W. E. Berger of the Dawkins Lumber Company o£ Ashland, Ky., was a 

 visitor in Baltimore within the last two weeks and saw some of the hard- 

 wood men here. He was making a business trip north. W. C. Heyser of 

 the Buskirk-Heyser company of Cincinnati was another. Mr. Heyser had 

 been making the rounds of the cigar box manufacturers In New York, Penn- 

 sylvania and other places, and reported that these concerns had fairly well 

 used up their stocks of lumber and were consequently In the market for 

 more. He let it be inferred that he had had a successful trip.

 port with .$15,000 capital to deal in all kinds of lumber. Among the incor- 

 porators are C. A. Priode and E. H. Priode.

 to eliminating grade crossings. 



The capital of the Oakley Lumber Co., of Cincinnati has been increased 

 from $40,000 to $45,000.

CINCINNATI 



A. J. Boehm, assistant sales manager o£ the Kosse-Shoe & Sehleyer Lum- 

 ber Company, who has returned from an extensive trip in the South, where 

 he looked up mill connections and stocks for his company, reports conditions 

 quite different than a month ago. Mr. Boehm said that while practically 

 all the mills are operating and booked up with new orders, there is not the 

 tone of optimism that prevailed on his last southern trip. 



The Wood Specialty Company of Dayton, O.. has been incorporated with 

 a capital of $50,000 to manufacture wood products of all kinds. Including 

 furniture and fixtures. The incorporators are: Harold S. Miller, Ivanette 

 W. Miller, Lorin Wright, Eldno A. Short and Katherine E. Short. 



Will S. Sterrett, secretary of the Cincinnati Lumbermen's Club, returneil 

 recently from a two weeks' trip through the South, visiting mills in 

 Louisiana, jVlabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. He found business rather 

 quiet and no immediate prospects for improvement. He said the mills 

 quoted asking prices on their lumber, but were disposed to make a conces- 

 sion if it would bring an actual order.

B. P. VonBehren of the VonBehren Manufacturing Co., makers of hubs 

 and spokes, has been elected vice president of the Evansville Manufac- 

 turing .\ssociation to serve the ensuing year. He has been an active mem- 

 ber of the association for a number of years. Among the directors who

It is expected that the Rockport Planing Mill Company at Rockport, 

 Ind.. will build a new planing mill during the coming season to take the 

 place of the one that was destroyed by fire several months ago. 



MEMPHIS 



The Kelsey Auto Body Company has placed its plant at Memphis, Tenn., 

 in operation as a result of a contract secured with the Studebaker Com- 

 pany. It is employing about 50 persons at present, but will increase the 

 number as the volume of business expands. The plant cost approximately 

 $1,750,000, while the erection of a saw mill to be operated in connection 

 therewith and the purchase of cypress and gum stumpage brought the total 

 outlay to about $2,500,000. This plant was constructed on the strength 

 of a contract with the Ford Motor Car Company, but the latter, according 

 to the management, cancelled its contract, with the result that the equip- 

 ment has been idle since completion until placed in operation within the 

 past few days. The company is extracting considerable encouragement 

 from the fact that the automobile industry is tending steadily toward 

 increase in the output of closed bo<ly types, anticipating that this will 

 Insure a good business. 



Max Sondheimer, president of the E. Sondheimer Company, says that 

 the band mill recently purchased from the Weis-Patterson Lumber Company 

 at -Mexandria, La., will be placed in operation about March 1. He states 

 that his firm is now building a twelve-mile, standard-gauged road from 

 Alexandria to its timberland holdings and that, as soon as this is com- 

 pleted, the plant will be started up. The mills of the company at Sond- 

 heimer, Tallulah and Shreveport are already in operation.
