for the erection and equipment of a new sawmill estimated to cost about 

 $50,000. It will be one-story high, 60 by 120 feet in size, and ready by 

 May 15 or June 1. 



The Standard Woodwork Company has been organized at West AlUs, the 

 manufacturing suburb of Milwaukee, by Norman Pederson, who has been 

 in the woodworking industry for more than twenty years. The new con- 

 cern will feature the Curtis line of millwork besides making all kinds 

 of interior and exterior trim. A factory has been established at 720 Sixty- 

 fifth Avenue, with new and modern equipment throughout. 



The H. & M. Body Corporation of Racine, Wis., which last December 

 booked an order for 10,000 automobile bodies for 1922 delivery from the 

 Hupp Motor Car Company, Detroit, has now received a repeat order of 

 equal size, making 20,000 bodies to be delivered this year. The company 

 also has large orders from the Mitchell Motors Company of Racine and 

 smaller requirements from a number of other large passenger car manu- 

 facturers. Full-time operations ai-e now in order and more skilled men are 

 being sought. 



The Little Wolf River Lumber Company of Manawa. Wis., will start 

 work at once on the construction and equipment of a new hydro-electric 

 generating plant costing about $25,000. The mills also will be enlarged as 

 soon as additional power facilities are made available. Ray C. Llndsa.T is 

 general manager of the company. 



Frederick J. Schroeder, president of the John Schroeder Lumber Com- 

 pany, Milwaukee and Ashland, Wis., who is treasurer of the Rotary Club 

 of Milwaukee, was a member of a party of eighty members which went to 

 Duluth, Minn., by special train to attend the fifteenth district annual con- 

 ference of Rotarians on March 16 and 17. The Milwaukee club was success- 

 ful in securing the 1923 convention for this city. 



The State Land Commission of Wisconsin has issued authority to the 

 Stangc Lumber Company of Merrill to build a logging railroad between 

 Merrill and Star Lake, In Vilas county, Wis., where the company has tim- 

 berlands, largely hemlock and hardwoods, sufficient for about twenty years 

 of woodsworking operations. The distance from Merrill is one hundred 

 miles. A permit had to be obtained because the proposed line will cross 

 state lands at some points. The road will extend through a previously 

 undeveloped portion of northern Wisconsin into a densely timbered area 

 that is virtually untouched by the axe. 



William Nehls, for six years associated with Arthur L. Voertmann in 

 the Portage (Wis.) Boat. Novelty and Storage Company, has disposed of 

 his interest to William M. Horton, who will take an active part in the 

 management. The concern builds boats, automobile bodies and similar 

 articles. 



The Barker Lumber and Fuel Company of Watertown, Wis., has com- 

 pleted important Improvements and alterations in its main sawmill at 

 Sturgeon Bay, Wis., and the planing mill is now undergoing betterments. 

 Both mills will resume operations about April 1 for an indefinite run. 



C. L. Tolles, for many years president and directing head of the Phoenix 

 Manufacturing Company, Eau Claire, Wis., a large manufacturer of log^ 

 haulers, tractor and other woodworking and lumbering equipment, and 

 Robert B. Briggs, secretary and treasurer of the same concern, have re- 

 signed. .T. G. Worker, vice-president and general manager, assiunes Mr. 

 Tolles' duties, while II. J. Thompson has been elected secretary and treas- 

 urer. Messrs. Tolles and Briggs retain their interests and continue as 

 members of the board of directors. A movement has been under way for 

 some time to effect a consolidation of the Phoenix company with the Mc- 

 Donough Manufacturing Company of Eau Claire, which specializes in the 

 manufacture of saw and planing mill machinery. 



The Ohlhoff I^umber Company of Merrill, Wis., has announced its inten- 

 tion of resuming the operation of its sawmill on April 1. It was intended 

 to reopen March 1, l)ut the great blizzard and sleet storm during the last 

 week of February made it necessary to postpone the plan due to the ex- 

 treme difficulty of continuing logging operations and getting logs from 

 the woods to the mill. This is only a single instance of the handicaps 

 imposed upon the northern hardwood industry by the historic storm. 



Emit Schlag. proprietor of the Schlag sawmill in the town of Maine, 

 near Merrill, Wis., was instantly killed by the fragment of a rotary saw 

 which broke without warning when it encountered a two-inch knot in a 

 large hemlock log. Mr. Schlag was born at Fall Creek, Wis., March 19, 

 1879. 



The Hardwood Market 



CHICAGO 



The Chicago hardwood lumber market has evidenced practically no 

 change during the past fifteen days. The conservatism of the buyers con- 

 tinues, and competition for all business is hard. Those who work the 

 hardest get the most orders, and that is the only way that business can 

 be got. Because of the considerable bargaining that is being done there 

 is often a wide spread on prices paid for the same item. The flooring
