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 

 cultivate 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.

 real hUBtlers of the local trade. lie lias made n npeclal Ktudy of the city

The LoulevUIc Ilanluood Club has bem kIvIur the rookB and kltehenti 

 of DumcrouK eounliy n'lidrtK a chance lo diMmmKlrate their respective 

 abilities, as It has had meetings at various cool spots outside the city 

 durhiK the past few weeks. The luml)ermen have visited Uruen's, Illvcr- 

 view and "Devil's Kitchen" ond will shortly go to the Elcbt-Mllc house. 

 The trips have been nmdc by automobile, numerous motor cars being 

 owned by elub members, and have proven very enjoyable, as Indicated by 

 the larce atlendonce which has been noted. 



The North Vernon Lumber Company, which operates a sawmill In 

 Louisville, will enlarce the capacity of Its plant at North Vernon, Ind., 

 hi the lmuie<llato future. This Is not usi d for mnniiracturhi;: lumber, but 

 for mukiu!; porch swln.is and lawn furniture. There lias bi>en a good 

 demand for products of this sort and Increased factory facilities have 

 thus become necessary. A new power plant will be built, and electric 

 motors installed throughout. Some new woodworking' machinery will 

 also he needed. 



A good story is being told by one of the local hardwood men, who bos 

 been handling the orders of several local brokers who call on the city 

 trade. A factory which wanted 10,000 feet of quartered oak gave each 

 of four brokers an order for a "sample wagonload" of 2,000 feet. All 

 of the orders were placed with the lumberman referred to, and the result 

 was that the four "samples" all came from Ibe same yard and on the 

 same wagon. The customer was rather Irritated at first, but finally 

 decldfd tiiat the hardwood man must be a pretty good chap with whom 

 to do business. 



Kobort Blair of Paragould, Ark., passed through Louisville on his way 

 home from Cincinnati recently. He Is organizing a timber and land 

 company which will develop 2,.")00 acres of land near I'aragould. The 

 company will not operate the timber, but plans to log the land and make 

 arrangemcats with some mill to take the logs. Oak and cypress com- 

 pose the timber chiefly. 



The sales office of the C. C. Mengcl .t Kro. Company contains a large 

 number of gunstocks in various processes, from tlie blanks to the finished 

 article. Julius Sjucker, sales manager, believes tliat the rifle manu- 

 facturers will have to come to mahogany, and be Is prepared to show 

 them what sort of a stock that material makes. It finishes very hand- 

 somely. 



Liocal hardwood men have been moving a good deal of low-grade lumber 

 recently, much of it going Into the box trade, where business seems to 

 be good at present. A lot of crating lumber is undoubtedly being con- 

 sumed in the export of war materials, all of whlcli require stout wooden 

 packages. 



A. !•:. Norman, bead of the Norman Lumber Company, is of the opinion 

 that witli the farmer as prosperous as present prices for farm produce 

 of all kinds seem to make him, trade ought to be good this fall. He 

 figures that siding, which the farm trade uses in large quantity, will be 

 an especially active Item In the lumber list. John Colgan Norman, his 

 grandson, is working for the Norman Lumber Company this summer, 

 making three generations represented in the local lumber field. He Is 

 the son of IC. P,. Norman, vice-president of the Holly KIdge Lumber 

 Company. 



Some good log tides in the Kentucky river have supplied mills with 

 plenty of material for steady operations. The Broadhead-Garrett Com- 

 pany at Clay City has about 30,000 logs, and the Day Lumber & Coal 

 Comiiany has received several big rafts from Its new poplar tract on the 

 north fork of the Kentucky for manufacture at its Jackson plant. 



W. .\. .McLean of the Wood Mosaic Company is one of the most con- 

 sistent opiiniists of the local trade. Ue points to the improvement in 

 conditions during the past sis months as the reason for his cheerful 

 outlook on the situation. 



Hfports from the furniture trade which have reached lumbermen here 

 are to the en:ect tliat while the attendance has been somewhat lighter 

 than last season, actual purcliasos have been heavier. The dealers have 

 only visited the markets when the.v have been Inclined to stock up, It 

 seems, which means that the number of "lookers" has been somewhat 

 less, but that bu.ving has been brisk. The lumbermen are hopeful of 

 having a goo<l fall trade with the furniture manufacturers.
