Have you seen any better \Valttut logs than theaeT 



' I 'HEY all grew right in Indiana where 

 ^ hardwoods have always held the 

 choicest farm lands. The best growth of 

 timber as well as the best yield of wheat 

 comes from good soil. The soundness of 

 the log-ends shows that they fed on the 

 fat of the land. My 



Indiana Oak 



comes from the same soil

 dled through the plant at Meiigcdwood, Tenn. Arthur I). Allen, vice-

 that the company would not start any additional operations at this time. 



\V. .\. McLean, bead of the Wood-Mosaic Company, New .\lbany, Ind.. 

 has been named chairman of a southern Indiana district In connection 

 with the raising of funds to carry on the Y. M. f. A. work in the army 

 camps. Mr. McI.K!an is district chairman for I'^loyd, Clark, Harrison and 

 Washington counties, and has to raise $22,000. 



.\nother war contract ha.s been almost landed liy the Mengel Box Com- 

 pany, the company having l)een low Bidder on a government contract 

 for supplying -l.'o.ooo heavy aminunition bo.\es at a cost of .^.'JfiO.OOO, the 

 bid being the lowest of several submitted. Due to the fact that the com- 

 pany has liandled several of tbesp contracts for the government, and 

 delivered the stock in satisfactory shape, there is little doubt but what 

 this order will go to the company, which has had enougli experience with 

 handling these contracts that it knows just what it is doing, and stands 

 to make a fair profit even though lieing the lowest bidder. 



With a capital stock of $10,000, the Long Life Lumber Company of 

 Louisville, has been incorporated liy Frederic H. Buerkel, William P. Cas- 

 tleman. and It. li. Uobertson. 



The Luther C. Moore Stave Company, which recently took a lease on the 

 old .Tohu Dowllng cooperage works at Lexington, Ky., is manufacturing 

 rum shooks. for barrels of fifty gallon capacity, the sliooks being knocked 

 down in bundles of two barrels, and exported for rea.ssemhling by native 

 coopers. 



At Louisville the Booker Box Company is busy erecting iron clad sheds 

 at its new brick box factory, which was recently purchased from the 

 Kentucky Cotton Yarn Company for about .f.50,000. The company expects 

 to be operating the new plant before the first of the year. 



King Marion ItusscII of K. M. liussell & Sons, lumlier dealers of Bowl- 

 ing Oreen. Ky.. died on Octolier .31, following an illness of several months. 

 In 18'J2, Mr. Russell and his late brother J. Nathan Russell formed the 

 firm of Russell Brothers, which was later dissolved, each of the partners 

 going into business with their sons. 



.\t Tomkinsville. Ky.. W. D. Wliite is planning to greatly enlarge his 

 axe handle factory, installing a finishing plant and spoke department. 

 He recently took over the Jackson- Jenkins handle factory at Forkton, Ky.. 

 moving the equipment to Tomkinsville, and doubling his handle capacity 

 at that point. 



The Wood-Mosaic Company, New Albany, Ind., is having much difficulty 

 in obtaining enough walnut logs to keep going on tlie big government 

 contract for approximately 1,000,000 gunstocks. Small timber merchants 

 are short of labor, as are also the farmers, and for the past few week.s 

 very few logs have been cut, although the company has been offering top 

 prices for 2, .500 cars of logs. 



W. E. DeLaney of the Kentucky Lumber Company, Lexington, Ky.. 

 was in Louisville last week for a day or so, and while here paid his first 

 visit to Camp Taylor, .where he showed much interest in the big construc- 

 tion work. Mr. DeLaney was also present at the weekly meeting of the 

 Louisville Hardwood Club. 



.Vithougli the laljor and traffic situations are expected to give the lum- 

 ber industry trouble during the next few months, financial conditions 

 are looking up, and the majority of the lumbermen feel that business is 

 promising, and that there will be no shortage of money. It is estimated 

 that there is now more money in circulation than ever before, and that 

 the Liberty Loan will result in a still greater amount of money being 

 placed in circulation. The early fall lull in business is said to have been 

 largely due to the fact that consumers of lumber have been busy placing 

 their business on a war time basis, and figuring out just how the new 

 tax propositions would affect them.
