=-< LOUISVILLE >= 



The Louisville HardHuod (lull, whltli lim .sllyuted the question of 

 the duty on Jupiinesc and Siberian o»k llooring, ho* found that the 

 Treasury liepnrtmcut, after having rub'd that It could come In duty free, 

 ri'versed Itself later on by deciding tbot since white oak Is a cabinet 

 wood. It docs not matter In what form It enters, and bencc flooring, 

 though not regarded as a cabinet product, must pay a l,"* per cent ad 

 valorem duty. Oak flooring concerns In tbU section bad been much 

 lutcre.sted In the competition with foreign material on tbe I'aclflc coast, 

 and the development brouKht out by the club was received with satisfac- 

 tion. Another point which was suggested, and which may Interest floor- 

 ing manufacturers In the North who come In competition with Canadian 

 stock. Is that at present tbe product of tbe Canadian flooring factories 

 Is being admitted to tbls country duty free, while American concerns 

 must pay both the regular 25 per cent duty and n 7Mi per cent war tax 

 on their product. The ruling of the deportment with regard to the 

 admission of Japanese flooring doe.s not appear to have been adapted 

 to the Canadian' situation, but doubtless would be If proper attention 

 were called to It. 



.\n unusually Interesting talk was beard by members of the I.«ul8vlllc 

 Hardwood Club, .\prll 27, at tbe Seelbach hotel, when John J. Saundei;|i, 

 manager of the Louisville office of R. G. Dun & Co., spoke on "Credits." 

 Mr. Saunders pointed out tbe Immense value of credit, taking the ground 

 iliat it usually amounts to ten times tbe capital used by a concern, 

 and bencc Is its greatest asset. He said that the ancient Athenians 

 recognized credit, which Is one of the oldest of business customs. 

 .Vnalyzlng present business conditions, Mr. Saunders said that better 

 trade Is ahead, because business bas been adjusted to a war basis, and 

 domestic conditions, such as crops, money, etc., are all favorable. 



.Inmes Uifliardson. biiyir for \Vm. Mallliison \ .^ons, Ltd., of London, was 

 in Louisville last week. Mr. Richardson is representing bis company in 

 tbe purchase of war munitions, and has been getting In touch with 

 lumbermen In a position to supply the materials required by tbe British 

 government. 



W. A. McLean, president of tbe Wood-Mosaic Company, and one of 

 the most aggressive hardwood manufacturers In the country. Is operat- 

 ing bis mills in Highland Park and New Albany right along, and reports 

 that trade Is picking up, Tbe flooring business Is looking especially 

 cood Just now. 



The mill of tbe Parkland Sawmill Company, at Beech and Woodland, 

 Is now running, operations baring been begun the first of tbe month. 

 Charles Talbot is In charge of tbe mill, having bought a nice lot of 

 oak logs. Tbe product will be cblcfly quartered oak. Roscoc Wlllett 

 will look after the sales end of the business. 



Edtieuno F. Stcmmelen, of the K. & J. Lumber Company, filed a 

 voluntary petition In bankruptcy lost week, giving liobllitics of $7,143 

 and assets of $3,070. Mr. Stemmelen has been doing business from 

 oflices In the Keller building for several years, first os the Stemmelen 

 Lumber Company, ond then with the Stcmmelen Bros. & FuUenlove Com- 

 pany, which wos Incorporated. Later control of tbls wos disposed of 

 to n. J. Gates and Thomas FuUenlove, and Mr. Stammelen then con- 

 linucd with bis brother Joseph In the E. ond J. Lumber Company. Tbe 

 failure was not o surprise. 



The plon of the Mengel Box Company of Louisville, which put In 

 a moving picture show at Its sawmill at Mengelwood, Tenn., some 

 months ago, apparently is taking well, ns the Honaker, Vo., Lumber 

 Compony bos Just purchased a machine from a Louisville motion picture 

 supply house for operation at Its plont. The Vlrginio concern believes 

 that the supply of an amusement feature for Its employes will be of 

 considerable benefit.
