 has moved from Dermott. .\rk.. to Llftl) Railway ICxclmnge building, 

 Chicago, where the telephone number will be Harrison 4782. According 

 to the advices of the Dermott Land & Lumber Company, the change 

 was mode In order to better facilitate merchon- 

 dising the company's lumber to the consuming 

 trade, with which It deals almost exclusively. 

 The company feels that It can secure better re- 

 sults by being In closer contact with Its cub- 

 I omers. 



The southern mill has been closed down for 

 the last fifteen months, but preparations were 

 completed to resume operations on October 4. 

 The supply of logs has been .iccumulating for 

 the past six weeks; In fact, there were about 

 2,000,000 feet of oak logs at the mill at the time 

 It started operating, thus Insuring a steady run 

 through the winter months. 



The Dermott company now has one of the best 

 < ijuipped band mills in the South with a dally 

 capacity of 50,000 feet, and a 25.000 acre tract 

 of virgin white oak timber. It operates sixteen 

 miles of standard gauge railroad with complete 

 equipment, and has ample facililies for handling 

 every feature of the business. 



The sales department will be In charge of G. 

 W. Allport who has been located In the South 

 until recently with the Carnahan-AUport Lumber 

 Company. Mr. Allport has been a sawmill oper- 

 ator for the last six years and will handle the 

 sales along lines broad enough to permit mills 

 whose production Is not large enough to Justify 

 a separate selling organization to join with it In 

 a selling arrangement. Mr. Allport says that the 

 company already has made connections with a 

 number of mills which will give it a monthly production of 2.500,000 feet, 

 practically all oak.
