HARDWOOD RECORD 



35 



=-< EVANSVILLE >= 



Cliiiule Malcy aud Daniel Wertz uf Maley & Wcrtz, hardwood manu- 

 facturers, with their families, returned horae a few (lays aso from Bay 

 View, Mich., where they had been spending the heated season. Frank 

 Cutsinger. the local hardwood manvifacturer, and Mrs. Cutsinger also 

 returned from Bay View. 



Local lumber manufacturers report they are now getting all the logs 

 they want for milling purposes and that the prices are satisfactory, in 

 fact, better than they were a year ago this time. 



The building permits in Evansville for August of this year show a 

 gain of .$2-J,9(iO over the corresponding month of last year. The per- 

 mits for last month totaled $101,455, representing 141 permits, while 

 in August, 1914, with 125 permits the total expended was $70,495. 



William Swanson, local lumber tiealer, has been getting his share of 

 the business this season. He is looking for trade to pick up soon. 



George O. Woriand, secretary and treasurer of the Evansville Veneer 

 Company, is the owner of a new automobile. Mr. Worland says the 

 veneer business is coming along all right ; in fact, his plant has been 

 running on very good time all summer and he is looking for a good fall 

 and winter trade. Since Mr. Worland assumed the management of the 

 Evansville Veneer Company, several months ago, he reports be has had 

 a very good trade. 



Bert Tlsserand, for several years connected with the J. C. Greer Lum- 

 ber Company but now associated with the Brooks-Scanlon Company of 

 Xventwood, La., was here on business a few days ago. lie has charge of 

 the state of Indiana and reports good trade during the past month. 



Thomas Christian of Maley & Wertz has returned from a trip on the 

 road and reported a gradual picking up in business. 



In the Evansville notes in the last issue of the Hardwood Record, it 

 was stated that F. J. Reitz is president of the Citizens' National Bank 

 here. The item was in error as Mr. Reitz is president of the City N»- 

 tional Bank here and is one of the financial leaders of this city. Mr. 

 Reitz is also head of John A. Reitz & Sons, lumber manufacturers, and 

 one of the oldest concerns in the United Slates. 



Robert Schmalbaok, formerly connected with the Peerless Seat & Tank 

 Company here, has severed his connection with the company, and is now- 

 employed at Lawrenceville, 111. 



J. C. Greer of the J. C. Greer Lumber Company has returned from a 

 business trip through central and western Kentucky. He reports the 

 company's stave mills in Tennessee and Mississippi being operated on 

 time, and the demand for staves is better now than for some time past. 



Owing to the fact that the railroad companies are buying few if any 

 ties at this time, the large towboals here that have been operating in 

 the tie trade in Green, Barren, Cumberland and Tennessee rivers have 

 tied up and a large number of men have been thrown out of employ- 

 ment. The boats cleaned up all the tics that had been cut and carried 

 them to the various markets along the rivers, most of the ties being 

 brought here and sold to the Indiana Tie Company. 



Fred Bockstege of the Bockstege Furniture Company and Charles M. 

 Frisse of the Globe-Bosse-World Furniture Company have returned from 

 a ten days' trip through New York and states in the East. 



A. R. Messick of the Vulcan Plow Company has returned from a sev- 

 eral months' trip on the Pacific coast. 



Local furniture, carriage and plow manufacturers say that indications 

 are good that trade in the South and Southwest will improve this fall, 

 and they are looking for a nice volume of business from those sections. 

 Most of the factories in Evansville are now running on good time and 

 many inquiries are coming in. 



-< MEMPHIS > 



The Gayoso Lumber Company has recently opened offices in tbe Fisher 

 buildinp:. Chicago, in charge of L. R. Gale. This will be used exclu- 

 sively for selling purposes. Mr. Gale has been associated with the 

 Gayo5o Lumber Company at Memphis for several years and is thoroughly 

 familiar with the class of stock manufactured by it. The Gayoso Lum- 

 ber Company operates a large band mill at Memphis and has recently 

 purchased the stumpage on about 2.000 acres of land in north Missis- 

 sippi. This timber will be brought to Memphis and converted into lum- 

 ber. The company has been operating on full time for quite a while 

 but it is planning to go on double time in the near future. Its ship- 

 ments for August were well in excess of 1,. 500. 000 feet. 



The Florence Pump & Lumber Company is enlarging its plant here 

 with a view to the manufacture of kitchen cabinets, dining room tables, 

 interior moulding and other light material used in the finishing and fur- 

 nishing of homes. It is installing new machinery in order to take care 

 of this now department. Geo. G. Roberts, who recently became asso- 

 ciated with the Florence Pump & Lumber Company, is largely respon- 

 sible for this new department and he will have personal supervision 

 thereof. 



Building operations in Memphis during August show an increase of 

 nearly $100,000 compared with the same month last year. This is con- 

 sidered an exceptionally good showing as the building done last year 

 during August was that which had been projected some time before 

 the war in Europe broke out. There has been a slow but steady ex- 

 pansion in building operations during the past three or four months 



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 

 niv 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 

 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.
