 rafting of considerable quantities of this raw material. 



An interesting announcemput will be made within the next few days 

 regarding tbe booking of a large order of southern hardwoods for ship- 

 ment to Kurope. Members of the firm who have negotiations under way

 touches had been made, they would give out a full statement in regard

 cently completed a new mill, last week received a large order from the 

 English government for walnut specification stock, to be used In the

 self in the doubles of the Falls City tennis tournament. 



Harold J. Gates of the Louisville Point Lumber Company, recently 

 won the golf sweepstakes at the Louisville Country Club with a score of 

 71 net. Mr. Gates has been carrying a fairly large handicap recently, 

 but his good work on the course is expected to result in its being pared 

 down considerably. The mill of the Louisville Point company is now 

 busy in connection with the manufacture of some fine poplar logs, which 

 came down from West Virginia in a raft recently, a million feet being in 

 the raft. 



The whisky distillers of Kentucky have decided to reduce the crop in 

 1915-1916 to 33V, per cent of normal. This of course means a big reduc- 

 tion in the market for whisky barrels and staves, and consequently a 

 good deal of w-hite oak timber which ordinarOy is manufactured into 

 cooperage stock will be made into lumber, cross-ties and other products 

 instead. 



Smith Milton of the Churchill-Milton Lumber Company is an enthusiast 

 on the subject of a traffic bureau for Louisville. Mr. Milton realizes 

 the need of service of this sort, and has become a member of an out-of- 

 town traffic organization so that he can get the kind of work he requires. 

 Mr. Milton has stirred up a lot of interest on the subject in the Louis- 

 ville Hardwood Club, which is prepared to cooperate with other business 

 organizations of the city in establishing a bureau. It is figured that the 

 cost of maintaining the right kind of organization would be from $5,000 

 to $10,000 a year. 



Col. Clarence R. Mengel, president of the C. C. Mengel & Bro. Com- 

 pany, is much interested in the consolidation of the American National

Barry Norman of the Holly Ridge Lumber Company, who has been 

 making his headquarters at the company's mill at HoUy Ridge, La., will 

 now work out of Louisville, and will devote all of his attention to sales. 



My books are open to 

 prove that every one of the 

 below logs with similar 

 pile immediately behind is 



Real Indiana White Oak 



The two piles contain 100,000 feet and not a log is 

 under 24 inches. No other oak ever went through 

 mv mill. 



Of course it is to my interest to get the highest 

 quality of lumber and veneer (hence greatest re- 

 turn) out of such raw material. 



Experienced buyers will need no further 

 reason why they should at least get in touch 

 with me.

To the Owner of 

 Timber Lands 



Far sighted owners of timber 

 lands will take advantage of the 

 times, incident to the European 

 wars, and prepare themselves for 

 the day when the demand for tim- 

 ber is suddenly thrust upon them. 

 It is certain to come at no distant 

 time. Therefore the wise man will 

 ciiltivate a closer acquaintance with 

 his holdings and the best method 

 of marketing them. Guessing on 

 the quality and price will only lead 

 to complications and possible fail- 

 ure. Let us prepare the way for you. 



Remember, we not only report 

 with absolute accuracy, but assist 

 in selling your property, if desired.
