George O. Worhiiid, secretary and treasurer of the Kvansvlllo Veneer 

 Tompnuy. reports trade conilnc aloiii: all right and believes tl>at Ihi' next 

 few nionllis will bring the company in a nice lot of business. Mr. Worland 

 has been eomiillinentcd highly by many of his friends over the eoinpany's 

 Initial "ad" In ll.\iti>wijiJD Kkioko of .Tune l<i. The "ad" was a beauty, well 

 arranged, novel and nttiuctlvc and was read by many people In this sec- 

 tion. There Is no riuesllon but that the products turned i,ut by the 

 Kvansvllle Veneer Company arc popular and they ni-e growing more so 

 every day. 



O. (irimwood of Grlniwood and lllnton, hnrdwood lumber manufac- 

 turers of tills city, has relumed from a log purchasing trip to Orange and 

 adjoining rountles In Indiana. lie purchased a large number of walnut 

 logs and sturiips. tlie latlef of wliicli will be sold to veneer faetorlis. 



The veneer nianufaeturers of Kvansvllle, Calm, 111., Tell City, Ind., 

 and .lasper, Ind., report a good steady business at this time. The large 

 veneer factories In this city arc being operated on full timi' linil the 

 outlook for future business Is very encouraging. 



.lohii C. Keller, tralDc manager of the Kvansvilb Lumbermen's Club, 

 lias been reelected .secretary of the Kvansvllle Ituslness Association, 

 which position lie has ably filled for a number of years past. 



Walter K. Blount of the Blount riow T'ompany, who was neintly 

 .leiiid president of the Kvansvllle Business .\ssoelatbm. is gicatly In- 

 terested in tile trip to be taken soon by manufacturers and business men 

 of the I'liited States to the South .Vinerlean repulillcs in order to cultivate 

 trade relations with those countries. The lumber manufacturers of this 

 section are also taking n deep interest in the forthcoming trip. Re- 

 cently a well-known hardwood company of Kvansvllle sent n big con- 

 signment of lumber to Argentine Kepubllc, the first time that Kvansvllle 

 himber had ever been sent to that far-away South .\nierlcan country. 



.Mertlce K. Taylor of Slaley & Wertz. and secretary of the Kvansvllle 

 I.iiiiihirinen's Club, reports that the uptown sawmills are handling little 

 sycamore at the present time. The river mills, however, are dlsjioslng of 

 quite a lot of sycamore. A great deal of ash is being used by the handle 

 factories of this section. During the past week gum has picked up a 

 great deal, due to the fact that the furniture factories are running on 

 better time. Mr. Taylor states the manufacturers of this section are not 

 buying many logs at the present time, although the prices on logs 

 are lower than they were a year ago this time and manufacturers have 

 been buying logs as they need them. Most of the logs used by the 

 Evansville mills come from Tennessee and the south, although the river 

 rallls receive many logs from points along Green, Pond nnd Barren rivers 

 in western Kentucky. 



William II. McCurdy, president of the Hercules Buggy Company, this 

 city, announced a few days ago that In a short time the company will 

 begin the manufacture of tractors to a.ssist farm work. Mr. McCiirdy 

 owns tbi' full patents on the tractor that is to be turned out and it is 

 probable that n separate company will be formed for its manufacture. 

 It is estlmateil that In two years the company will be putting out ubout 

 5,000 tractors. 



The large hardwood mills in Kvansvllle and vicinity continue to 

 operate on an average of about eight hours a day.

I'. K. Tedrick of the Brown Lumber Company. Hiwnnnee, MLss., Is 

 authority for the statement that the planing mill of this firm, which was 

 destroyed l>y fire some time ago with a loss of $50,000, will he rebuilt 

 as quickly as possible. He also says that the most up-to-date machinery 

 will lie installed. 



W. S. Elder, Brownsville, Tenn., has acquired the hickory stumpage on 

 13,001) acres of timberlands belonging to J. F. Melntyre & Sons, I'ine 

 Bluff, .\rk. This proiierty is located in the Saline Hlver Valley, about 

 twenty miles south of Pine BlufT and it Is estimated that there are about 

 lO.OdO.iirio feet of hickory thereon. Mr. Elder plans to erect mills for 

 the manufacture of this hickory into lumber and all kinds of dimension 

 stock. Hickory Is becoming a rather scarce article in the southern hard- 

 wood field and this Is one of the finest tracts known anywhere In this 

 part of the country. Mr. Elder believes that the timber on his property 

 will furnish activity for his mills for about five years. 



The Henderson Lumber Company. Northport. .\la., is making rapid 

 preparations for construction of its new mill, which will have a
