Of course it is true that 



Red Gum 



is America's finest cabinet wood — but 



Just as a poor cook will spoil the choicest 

 viands while the experienced chef will turn 

 them into prized delicacies, so it is true that 



The inherently superior qualities 

 of Red Gum can be brought 

 out only by proper handling 



When you buy this wood, as when you buy a new 

 machine, you want to feel that you have reason for 

 believing it will be just as represented. 



We claim genuine superiority for our Gum. The 

 proof that you can have confidence in this claim is 

 shown by the letter reproduced herewith. 



Your interests demand that you remem- 

 ber this proof of our ability to preserve 

 the wonderful qualities of the wood 

 when you again want RED GUM.

 divisional training camp for the soldiers of Indiana and Kentucli.v in this 

 city. Among the citizens who arc working to have the camps locateil in 

 Evansvilie are nian.v hnnber and furniture manufacturers. 



Charles A. Wolllin of the WolHin-I.uhring Lumber Compan.v is interested 

 in a compan.v that expects to build a traction line from Kvansville to 

 New llarmon.v, Inil. The surve.v of the line has been completed and It is 

 expected (hat actual construction work will start in a short time. The 

 road will pass through the rich watermelon and cantelopc section of 

 southwestern Indiana. 



==-< INDIANAPOLIS > 



Indianapolis hindiernicu who have organized into a co-operative asso- 

 ciation to bu.v lumber to fill the needs of the government in erecting 

 buildings to house troops at Fort Henjamin Harrison, last week con 

 tributed .$10,000 to a fund being raised to purchase a site for another 

 training camp to be turned over to the government. Tbe business inter- 

 ests of the cit.v are tr.vlng to raise a fund of .$400,000 for this purpose 

 and the contribution of the lumbermen was one of the largest that lias 

 been received. Half the amount needed was raised in a few minutes 

 after the campaign was opened. 



G. A. Dolen, who operates a .vard and mill at Hocbester, Ind., lias 

 sold out to .Tames Oottschalk of Three Rivers, Mich. The stock has 

 just been invoiced and the deal has been closed. Mr. iJottschalk expects 

 to move to Rochester to assume management of the plant. 



A mill owned b.y Will Ditzler of Bluffton. Ind.. and Samuel Woods 

 of Wlllshire, Ind., located at the latter city, was destroyed by Are 

 recently, entailing a loss of about .fS.OOO. The property was not 

 insured. A large amoiint ,if hanlwood lumlier stored near the mill was 

 burned. 



George L. Maas of the .Maas-Nei'meyer Lumber Company, who was 

 selected by Indianapolis lumbermen recently to effect an organization 

 of the Indianapolis Lumbermen's Club, has been working on the plans 

 and intends to call a meeting In the near future to urge all lumber 

 men to affiliate with the organization. The lumber trade has been 

 talking of organizing the club for the last year, bill has never been 

 successful in getting all the lumbermen together. 



The .lones Lumber dmipany, P.looinfield. Ind., has dissolved as a 

 corporation. 



The J. A. Glanton l-'urniture Company, t'ohiiiibus, Ind., has just Iieen 

 incorporated with a capitalization of .f (ill. (ion. The company intends 

 lo manufacture all kinds of furniture. The directors are .Tames .\. Glan- 

 ton, Clarence C. McCoIlough and John W. Kelley. 



--<, MEMPHIS > 



Lumbermen here arc rather secretive about orders lieiiig received from 

 government sources for hardwood lumber and timbers. The idea is pretty 

 delinitely established that such orders are coming in and that they are in 

 c<»nsiderable volume. Imt little, if anything, is said al.iout them. Lumber 

 interests here ha\'e been making preparations for some time to take care of 

 the requirements in the way of lumber and timbers for the various depart- 

 ments of the government and they are in excellent position for supplying 

 these. Members of the American Oak Manufacturers' .\ssociatiou were 

 recently provided with specifications for white oak timbers to be used in 

 tbe construction of wooden ships and some of the other lumber interests 

 here are known to lie figuring on government orders of considerable size. 

 I'liusual activity is noted in the market and it is this which has. more than 

 anything else, given rise to reports of government buying in considerable 

 volume. 



I^umber interests here, including members of the Memphis Builders' 

 Exchange, are anxious to secure one of the army camp sites for the 

 training of soldiers. The Chamber of Commerce, with which the Lumber- 

 men's Club of Memphis, is affiliated, has taken the initiative in this matter 

 and the various business men of ilemphis, including the lumbermen, have 

 been assessed, for the raising of (Tie necessary money, on the basis of the 

 lienefit they will proliabiy derive from securing this lanip. Contractors and 

 other building interests are pai-ticularly interested and they are bringing 

 every possible pressure to bear in securing this camp for this city. 



The big hardwood mill of Kusse &. Burgess. Inc., resumed operations 

 tills morning after a shut down of some days forced by lack of sufficient 

 logs. The company has plenty of timber ready for loading on its holdings 

 at Isola. Miss., but there are not enough cars to bring in the logs, with 

 the result that operation of the mill is rather intermittent. Some of the 

 other sawmill men here are confronted with similar trouble and altogether 

 tile output of hardwood lumber here Is still considerably below normal, 

 though rather larger than a fortnight ago. 



II. H. .\nderson. secretary of the .\nderson-TuIly Company. Is one of tbe 

 lumber contingent who is making good at the training camp for olHcers at 

 Kort Oglethorpe, Oa. He Is one of the oldest niembers of the force being 

 trained, but encouraging reports are heard ngardlng the progress he Is 

 making. He is a son of Col. S. B. .\nderson.
