 possible. Hundreds of users already — you will be an-

and 



Easiest Handling 



buy the 



Hoosier Self Feed Rip Saw. This machine has earned thousands 

 of dollars for owners in the manufacture of dimension lumber, crating, 

 etc., because its entirely novel design, resulting in surprising ease of 

 operation and adaptability, makes possible a profit where a loss is 

 often expected in this work. The 



Hoosier Self-Feed Rip Saw 



has a positive and powerful feed which handles the heaviest material 

 the sawmill takes just as readily as the lightest. 



The table, raised and lowered with the crank in front of the ma- 

 chine, is always level — always securely locked. 



The Hoosier rips anything up to 6 inches thick and 17 inches wide. 

 It feeds 35, 75, 100 or ISO feet a minute.

tractor finishes the plant under ninety days. The mill, as rebuilt, will 

 have a daily capacity o£ 50,000 feet of lumber. 



Information reaching here from Rison, Ark., is to the effect that J. F. 

 Mclntyre & Sons of Pine Bluff, Ark., are building a mill on the Saline 

 river, six miles from the former point, which will be used practically 

 altogether for the cutting of hardwood material for use in filling govern- 

 ment contracts. A tram road will be built to a connection with the St. 

 Louis Southwestern (Cotton Belt) Railroad to facilitate handling the 

 output of the plant. 



The DeQueen Lumber Company, DeQueen, .4rk., which recently began 

 business by purchasing holdings of the Fitts & Burroughs Lumber Com- 

 pany in Arkansas and Oklahoma, has purchased 500,000,000 feet of pine 

 timber near that point, and is planning the building of a planing mill 

 which will be electrically driven, and which will have a daily capacity 

 equivalent to that of the sawmill proper, ten cars per day. 



The Madison Lumber Company, Tailulah, La., will have its plant in 

 operation there in a few days. The neces.sary spur tracks and other facili- 

 ties are being installed as rapidly as possible. This company was formed 

 a short time ago, and has a capital stock of $50,000. Rudolph Sond- 

 heimer of the E. Sondheimer Company, Memphis, is president of the 

 company. 



The Gayoso Lumber Company, which recently completed extensive re- 

 pairs and improvements at its big hardwood mill in New South Memphis, 

 began this week to operate it on double shift. It secured quite a lot of 

 logs on its yards during the period it was closed down, and is thus insured 

 a fair supply of timber for the immediate future. 



The Crenshaw-Gary Lumber Company will soon begin operating its l>ig 

 barge on Sunflower river for handling lumber from its plant at Richey, 

 Miss., to Vicksburg, where the Mississippi will be reached. The barge 

 has a capacity of 500,000 feet or more. The company has several other 

 barges of similar capacity to be delivered shortly, and ttiese will be used 

 for handling both logs and lumber. The barges have been purchased lie- 

 cause of inadequate transportation facilities by rail. 



F. E. Gary of the Crenshaw-Gary Lumber Company has sold his hand- 

 some home in Morningside Heights subdivision to Graham Smithwick, a 

 cotton man, for a consideration of .$30,000. This is one of the handsomest 

 homes in Memphis. 



M. S. Shadburne, who has had ten years' experience in the general 

 claims department of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, has been in- 

 stalled as manager of the claim department of the Southern Hardwood 

 Traffic Association. This organization ,has been handling claims for 

 members since it was launched, and the amount involved therein has
