=-< BUFFALO y 



Frauk H, Reilley has returued from his trip to California. He found 

 the Pacific coast pleasant as usual and the expositions very attractive. 

 The firm of W. W. Reilley & Bro. speaks of the lumber trade as quite 

 dull. 



Anthony Miller reports the hardwood trade pretty dull this month. .\ 

 little stock is coming in at the yard. 



The lumber yard of G. Elias & Bro. has been busy recently getting in 

 and piling up stocks of lake lumber, three vessels having lately arrived 

 with a large supply.

 this month, where he has been looking after purchases of oak and other 

 stock for the Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Company. 



The Atlantic Lumber Company recently had in the steamer II. E, 

 Runnels with basswood and -maple stocks. There Is a good inquiry for

Blakeslee, Perrin & Darling have found trade improving during the 

 past two weeks. There is a fairly good demand for maple. Ash, oak and 

 cypress are also moving steadily. 



R. D. McLean has returned from a business trip to the West. He re- 

 ports that the mahogany demand is rather quiet this month. 



The Yeager Lumber Company is selling a pretty good amount of ash.

 stocks are arriving to replenish stocks in .\nril. Fir is said to be in a 

 little better demand than for some time. 



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 feel and not a log is 

 under 24 inches. No other oak ever went through 



mv mill. 



Of course it is to iny 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 

 cultiyate 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.
