 went a minor operation.

.V voluntary petition In bankruptcy has been filed by the New Albany, 

 Ind.. woodworking house of Peter .Tacobson & Sons, listing liabilities of 

 $411,000 and assets of $26,760.45. This concern was moved to New Albany 

 from Louisville about six years ago, after Its plant was burned. Last

 Improvements and additional working capital, the Hoosier Panel Company 

 of New Albany has placed a mortgage covering its plant with the German- 

 .\mericnn Bank & Trust Company, which has arranged the floating of the

 ■ ■jmpany. New Albany, to house a big hog that is being installed to grind 

 up wood waste for use under the boilers. Numerous big lumber mills are 

 now paying more attention to wood waste, which is worth considerable with 

 coal at present high prices. 



The car shortage has been giving the Edward L. Davis Lumber Company 

 some trouble, but the demand for ash has been extremely good, walnut, 

 hickory, oak ond other hardwoods being active also. With a fair car sup- 

 ply, however, business would be Just about all that could be asked for, as 

 the demand Is greater than the supply Just now.

 for the account of the W. P. Brown & Sons Lumber Company by th.- 

 Louisville branch of the Southern Hardwood Traffic Association, naming 

 the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and the Southern Railroad Company, 

 end attacking a rate of 17 Vi cents from Brasfleld, Ark., to Athens, Tenn., 

 via Memphis, on lumber In car lots. .A. new rate of 10 cents Is asked and 

 reparation for overcharges. 



After meeting each Tuesday evening over a period of ten years the 

 Louisville Hardwood Club Is now meeting only on the first and third 

 Tuesdays of each month. This matter was brought up at the annual 

 meeting In November, and was later voted upon. The organization at its 

 last November meeting changed Its constitution and bylaws In order to 

 hold the meetings twice a month, and also changed to admit non-resident 

 members, who have representatives In Louisville. The principal matter of 

 Interest was an address by Mr. Stubbs, Canadian representative of the 

 Card Lumber Company of Chattanooga, Tenn., who discussed lumber con- 

 ditions as they exist In Canada. Mr. Stubbs stated that business was 

 much better than It has been. However, In order to avoid traffic troubles 

 the company has shipped large stocks Into Canada, and has them on storage 

 to take care of the Canadian trade.
