Perkins Glue Fast Becoming the Standard 

 For All Veneer Work 



Manufacturers who use glue for veneer laying and built-up panel work are 

 rapidly realizing the advantages of a glue that does away with the hot, 

 bad-smelling glue room necessary with hide glue and are adopting the modern 

 and efficient 



Perkins Vegetable Veneer Glue 



because it does away with the cooking 

 process, being applied cold. It is equally 

 as efficient as hide glue and at a saving of 

 no less than 20 per cent over hide glue 

 costs. It gives off no bad odor and may 

 be left open a number of days without 

 souring or in any way affecting its ad- 

 hesive qualities. 



Every shipment is absolutely uniform. 



The use of Perkins Glue does away 



with blistered work and is affected in no 

 way by climatic changes, thus increasing 

 the advantages of manufacturers, who 

 must ship their goods to hot, cold or damp 

 climates. 



Unsolicited testimonials from hundreds 

 in all glue using lines praise its efficiency 

 and economical application.

Originators and Patentees 805 J. M. S. Building, SOUTH BEND, IND. 



The Whiting lumber interests of Asheville, N. C, will soon begin the 

 construction of a railroad from Butler, Tenn., leading to an area of hard- 

 wood timber in western North Carolina, which is to be developed by the 

 installation of a band mill at some convenient point. J. M. Lacy of Eliza- 

 bethton, Tenn., where the concern has opened offices, will have charge 

 of construction. 



J. W. Heniger. a well Unown manufacturer of Cbilhowie, Va., was here 

 this week and laports that he has started two new mills. 



=-< LOUISVILLE >= 



T. M. Brown of the W. P. Brown & Sons Lumber Company of Louis- 

 Tille, has been at Fayette, Ala., looking over the operations of the 

 company's large band mill there. Although the hardwood end of the 

 Brown business is below normal in common with most other concerns, 

 there is a good demand for yellow pine, which is also manufactured 

 at ITayette. 



Edward S. Shippen, of the Louisville Point Lumber Company, who Is 

 one of the most hospitable of men, will entertain the Louisville Hard- 

 wood Club at its next meeting at his handsome country home on the 

 Brownsboro road. The lumbermen are looking forward to the meeting 

 with great interest. 



James Richardson, representing Wm. Mallinson & Sons, Ltd., London, 

 England, was in Louisville recently, in connection with the purchase of 

 walnut lumber for his firm, and attended a meeting of the Louisville 

 Hardwood Club. He spoke vigorously in favor of a better understanding 

 between the -American hardwood exporters and English buyers, pointing 

 out that the lack of a uniform contract, an accepted and universal system 

 of grading and other defects in the present system make for misunder- 

 standing, irritation, delays and loss. 



Plans for attending the annual convention of the National Hardwood 

 Lumber Association in Chicago next month are now being made by Louis- 

 ville lumbermen. It is probable that the local representatives will be 

 joined by Mobile, Nashville and other southern hardwood men, making 

 "some party" to go up to the Windy city. T. M. Brown, of Louisville, 

 who is a member of the executive committee, Is expected to be a prominent 

 figure at the convention. 



The C. C. Mengel & Bro. Company, leading mahogany manufacturer, 

 has finished sawing its stock of logs, illustrating the scarcity of mahogany 

 in this country. However, the company is in a peculiarly good position 



in this respect, as it has a big cargo coming in from Belize, British Hon- 

 duras, and will be able to resume manufacturing in a short time. Owing 

 to the scarcity of material, the mahogany market is very strong. 



The Parkland Sawmill Company is now operating, and is specializing 

 in the manufacture of quartered oak. Charles Talbot, who is in charge 

 of the mill, is much pleased with the quality of the oak that is being 

 put on sticks. Roscoe Willett has charge of the selling end of the 

 business. 



Ths Wood-Mosaic Company, which operates mills in New Albany, Ind., 

 and Highland Park, a local suburb, has found business to be fair. It is 

 selling a good deal of hardwood flooring, I'eing famous in this particular 

 tield, and the demand for lumber and sawed veneers is also picking up 

 somewhat. The company Is fortunate in having two of the best equipped 

 mills in the country. 



Barry Norman, vice-president and general manager of the Holly Ridge 

 Lumber Company, who is in charge of operations at the mill at Holly 

 Ridge, La., was In Louisville recently, and said that the potential demand 

 for lumber for export is great, but that higli freight rates are preventing 

 any large movement. He said that foreign markets are bare of materials, 

 and that the end of the war will be the signal for an immense movement 

 of hardwoods abroad. 



Louisville lumbermen are getting to be prominent as golfers. Stuart 

 R. Cecil, who is now operating independently, won a cup with his wife 

 in a recent tournament at the .\uduhon Club, and W. A. Watts, presi- 

 dent of the Holly Ridge Lumber Company, is also showing up well in 

 the Audubon competitions. P. B. Lanham, the hardwood flooring man, 

 has taken up golf, and is getting to be a familiar figure on the greens. 



Local planing mills are getting figures from hardwood men on lumber 

 to be used in filling the annual contract with the board of education, 

 which will be let shortly. There is a lot of the material, including 

 mahogany, quartered oak, walnut, poplar, etc., but it is all dimension 

 stock and most of it is dressed. Hence the planing mills will take the 

 orders, the yardmen furnishing the rough lumber. 



Edwin Norman of the Norman Lumber Company, who is in charge of 

 the siding department of the company, is keeping the manufacturing 

 plant going, but reports that the demand for poplar siding is hardly 

 up to normal. Mr. Norman is much improved in health, as compared 

 with his condition a few months ago, and looks as good as new. A. E. 

 Norman, Sr., president of the company, has purchased a Ford runabout 

 for use in connection with city sales work. 



The Louisville Veneer Mills, though continuing to feature its figured 

 red gum, which has become very popular, largely through its judicious
