Perkins Glue Fast Becoming the Standard 

 For All Veneer Work 



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

 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 modem 

 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 aflfected 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.

805 J. M. S. Building, SOUTH BEND, IND. 



Clark Wliite, wcll-knowu bardwooU lumber manufacturer at Boonvllle, 

 Ind., was a business visitor In ETausviUe a few da.vs ago. In addition 

 to being a lumberman. Mr. White is Interested In several stone quarries 

 in Kentucky, and is doing well both In the lumber and stone business. 



T. B. Wright, a lumber dealer of Mt. Carmel, 111., and formerly mayor 

 of that city, was in Evansville a few days ago on business. He said 

 the lumber manufacturers and dealers of southern Indiana, while not 

 enjoying a boom, had done a fairly good business during the past two 

 or three months, and he sees nothing discouraging in the business out- 

 look. 



Paul W. Luhriog, vice gerent snark of the IToo-Hoo for the southern 

 Indiana district. Is contemplating issuing a call for a cancatenation to 

 be held In Evansvillc. It has been about two years since a cancatena- . 

 tlon was held here and Mr. Luhring says he knows of several prospective 

 live kittens. 



Fred Bergmann, of Bermann & Mann, lumber dealers and planing mill 

 owners at Chrisney. Ind., was here on business a few days ago. Mr. 

 Bergmann thinks there is to be a marked picking up in trade in all 

 lines after the new wheat crop has been threshed and delivered.

Lumbermen here are very imu Ij <lisii|i|jointcd over the decision of the 

 supreme court of Mississippi, which has affirmed the ruling of the lower 

 court In the case of K. J. Darnell, Inc., against .T. C. Johnston, state 

 revenue agent. This decree of the supreme court means that owners of 

 tlmberlands in Mississippi will have to pay taxes not only on the land 

 Itself but also upon the timber standing thereon. It was believed by 

 lumber interests here that this timber tax was unconstitutional, but 

 the decision of the supreme court knocks out this view. R. J. Darnell, 

 Inc., in whose name the litigation was conducted, is owner of extensive 

 timberland holdings in Quitman and other counties In Mississippi and a 

 number of lumbermen here have large holdings of both land and timber 

 in that state. This decision imposes an additional burden upon them 

 which they were very anxious to avoid. A feature of the decision of the 

 supreme court was the failure of the chief justice to concur therein. 

 He handed down a lengthy minority opinion In which he fully set forth 

 his views, but two of the justices were against him, with the result 

 that the decision stands. 



A contract has been awarded by F. E. Gary, vice-president and general 

 manager of the Baker Lumber Company, with offices at Memphis and mills 

 at Turrcll, Ark., for the construction of a two story colonial residence 

 in Mornlngside Heights, one of the most exclusive residence sub-divisions 

 in this city. The cost is estimated at $28,000. 



Lumber interests here have been very much upset by the failure 

 of the negotiations looking to the ending of the strike in the building 

 trades at Chicago It was believed a short timciago that this disturbing 

 factor had been entirely eliminated and that there would be a decided 

 revival of demand from Chicago for southern hardwoods. It is regarded 

 as probable, however, that the strike will not last very much longer and 

 that the settlement thereof will be followed by renewed activity in demand 

 for oak, red gum, and other materials used for interior trim, flooring 

 and other purposes. 



L. D. Russell and L. B. Slmson of Mena, Ark., will build a shingle 

 mill and creosoted tic plant at DeQucen, Ark. The mill will have a 

 daily capacity of 30,000 feet. 



It is announced that hereafter practically all of the barrel staves 

 exported from Memphis to China will be sent direct to that country 

 instead of being sold through brokers in various parts of Europe. Wn 

 Chang, one of the richest men in China, was in Memphis a short time 

 ago and while here was taken through one of the big tight barrel plants, 

 lie was so very much Impressed with the methods of manufacture and 

 with the big scale of operations that he expressed himself as In favor 

 of buying direct here Instead of through brokers in Europe. This 

 is regarded as quite a distinct development In favor of Memphis as 

 a stave exporting center. 



Manufacturers of lumber here are very much interested in the out- 

 come of the experiments which will he conducted at the Forest Products 

 Laboratory at Madison, Wis. These experiments will have to do largely 

 with the subject of kiln-drying and the materials with which the experi- 

 ments will he made have already been forwarded to the laboratory by 

 R. M. Carrier, Carrier Lumber & Manufacturing I'orapauy, Sardis, 

 Miss., who is chairman of the technical research committee of the Gum 

 Lumber Manufacturers' Association. The association has taken an 

 active interest in this subject and made an agreement some time ago 

 with Prof. 11. D. Tiemann, who delivered an address at the last annual 

 of that body, to make experiments. The kiln-d'ying of gum lumber Is 

 regarded as one of the most Important subjects connected with the 

 development of this Industry on a big scale and the outcome of the 

 experiments will be awaited with unusual interest not only by the 

 members of the research committee but also by the entire membership 

 of the Gum Lumber Manufacturers' .\ssoclatlon. 



The big mills of Houston Brothers at Walters. Miss., have been 

 placed in operation within the past few days. They will run until 

 the timber which was floated out on the last rise In the Mississippi 

 has been prepared for the market. It Is also announced that the two 

 sawmills and the box plant of the .\ndersonTully Company at Vicks-
