F. M. Bachman Co., Indianapolis, Ind. 



Mr. Clark had just received a letter from a Liverpool dealer in 

 mahogany logs, who declared that they can be bought in Liver- 

 poo! at the present time cheaper than they can be layed down 

 there today. These cheap logs are said to be of an old cut that 

 have been on hand for months. 



Price cutting is creating considerable havoc in the Chicago ve- 

 neer and panel market, said C. E. Curtis of the Veneer Lumber & 

 Plywood Co. In contradiction to normal economic processes this 

 cutting is taking place while the demand and the movement of 

 goods is increasing. In fact, the volume of shipments has consid- 

 erably improved and prices should be holding firm, he said. Mr. 

 Curtis does not expect the price slashing to be very long continued 

 as some of the prices being made ^re so low as to preclude any 

 chance of profit. Walnut is the staple in the figured wood trade, 

 he said. Virtually 80 per cent of the figured veneer and panels 

 purchased by the furniture industry is walnut. Prices of mahog- 

 any lumber and mahogany veneers have been going up for sev- 

 eral weeks. Plain oak veneer, which goes to the building trades, 

 continues much stronger than quartered oak, as the furniture peo- 

 ple are using very little quartered oak. 



Word was received in Chicago on February 20 that E. C. Dick- 

 erson, formerly treasurer and manager of the Roddis Lumber & 

 Veneer Co., Marshfield, Wis., has joined the Calhoun Plywood 

 Co., Sheboygan, Wis., as secretary. Mr. Dickerson is a man of 

 wide experience in the veneer and plyw^ood industry and was with 

 the Roddis company for a number of years before leaving them a 

 few months ago. 



Glanton Heads Kentucky Organization 



S. J. Glanton, vice-president of the Veneer Manufacturers Com- 

 pany, has resigned from his executive connection with this firm 

 and has accepted the presidency of the Burnside Veneer Company, 

 Burnside. Ky. He took up his new duties about February I. Mr. 



Glanton has had nineteen or twenty years' experience in the ve- 

 neer and plywood industry and is unusually proficient in the call- 

 ing. He was manager of the Chicago Veneer Company plant for 

 about 12 years of his career. 



Jack Dean of the Dean-Spicker Company, returned to his office 

 on March 3, after having been confined to his bed with a severe 

 attack of influenza for about two weeks. 



Correcting a Typographical Ejror 



Owing to a typographical error in the announcennent of changes 

 of personnel in the R. S. Bacon Veneer Co.. of Chicago, carried in 

 the February 25 issue, it was stated in one place that Frank H. 

 Scott, who was elevated to the presidency of the firm in January, 

 1922, was made secretary-treasurer, a position he had held for a 

 number of years. This should have read "president and treasurer." 

 John B. Edwards is secretary of the company. In this connection 

 an error was made in saying that Mr. Edw^ards joined the company 

 in 1921. This should have read I 90 1 . 



McLaughlin Leaves E.dison Plant 



J. M. McLaughlin, vice-president and general manager of the 

 Wisconsin Cabinet and Panel Company of New London, Wis., one 

 of the principal members of the group of Thomas A. Edison indus- 

 tries, has resigned and on March I joined the O'Neil Oil and Paint 

 Company, 297-305 East Water Street. Milwaukee, as vice-president 

 and sales manager. The O'Neil company is a large manufacturer 

 and jobber of paints, oils, varnishes, etc. Mr. McLaughlin served 

 the Edison company at New London for three years, during which 

 time he supervised important changes which have made the plant 

 one of the most modern in America. 



The Ke-No Company of Sheboygan, manufacturing special fur- 

 niture and novelties, w^ill spend about $50,000 in remodeling, en- 

 larging and re-equipping its factory. The power house is now^ 

 undergoing enlargement to meet the augmented demands of the 

 plant.
