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.

as the life of tbe lumber Ijusiness depends so much upon the city's 

 huildlns activity the report is indicative of a- steadily strengthening 

 lumber market. The receipts of Ibe department for the first six months 

 of this year were 20 per cent over the receipts of last year and a con- 

 siderable increase over 191.3. The number of building permits thus far 

 shows an increase of 24 per cent over last year and the value of new 

 structures so far shows an increase of 49.4 per cent over the report of 

 last year and a still larger increase over 1913. The fact that this occurs 

 during a business depression is taken as a gratifying comment upon the 

 solidity of Cincinnati and knowledge that the building code, which for 

 some time was the object of severe criticism from builders, now is being 

 administered in an equitable manner for everybody concerned. 



The cyclone which swept over Cincinnati the night of July 7 not only 

 (lid hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of damage to buildings but 

 look heavy toll in the great wood parks in and around the city, according 

 lo a report just issued by the park commissioners, totaling the amount 

 of damage wrought by the wind. Eden Park and Ault Park, especially, 

 are situated on high hHls and heavily wooded and hundreds of beautiful 

 trees, many even first growths, were broken down or severely damaged. 

 It took the park board some little time to figure up the loss in shade 

 trees, which cannot be replaced for many years. Seven hundred and 

 sixty-seven trees in Eden park, which comprises about 100 acres, were 

 utterly destroyed, while several hundred others were more or less severely 

 damaged. In Ault park, a tract of nearly 200 acres, the damage was 

 less, but still quite severe, 409 oaks and sycamores being leveled. The 

 park board has taken into consideration only the large and valuable 

 trees and not the shrubbery, saplings and other young stock. 



Word was given out recently that C. Crane & Co.. of Peru, Ind.. cap- 

 italized at .$500,000 and operating also in West Virginia, filed articles of 

 dissolution with the county recorder. Clinton Crane, head of the concern 

 referred to and of C. Crane & Co.. of Cincinnati, said that the action was 

 merely tile formal filing of papers in Indiana in the dissolution of the 

 corporation which took place two years ago and has no relation to the 

 business activities of the local concern. 



Referee Greve last week filed in the United States district court his 

 final records in the matter of the Meyer Brothers Furniture Company, a 

 manufacturing concern which some time ago went into bankruptcy. The 

 unsecured creditors of the company received .$2,827.09 on claims amount- 

 ing to about $13,000. 



Theodore Mayer of Cincinnati, a prominent realty ■man, was discharged 

 last week at his request as one of the receivers for the Midland Chair 

 and Seating Company of Michigan City. Ind., and .Tared P. Bliss, who 

 was co-receiver, was appointed sole receiver. The report of the receivers 

 was submitted to coiirt. covering a period from May 1 to .July 31, lOl.'i. 

 During that period two dividends were declared, aggregating thirty per 

 cent and the accounts and bills payable have been reduced $37,279.38. 

 Unfilled orders at the beginning of that period amounted to .$100,000 

 and at the close of the period $12.5,000. The report states that business 

 conditions are improving. 



The Anchor Buggy Company of Cincinnati has reduced its capital from 

 .$400,000 to $200,000, the steps being taken because present business 

 conditions do not require such a large amount of capital.

 ville for $15,000, Charles Deckel, .Tr. and Sr., and Louis Deckel compris-

In a communication recently .sent to L. B. Barton, state forester of 

 Kentucky. Vice President T. C. Powell of the Queen & Crescent Railroad, 

 which is owned by the city of Cincinnati, extended the co-operation of 

 the Q. & C. forces in the prevention of forest fires throughout the state 

 along the line of the railroad. Throughout the summer and fall months 

 considerable damage has been done the great forests of Kentucky by fires, 

 much of it being attributed to sparks from railroad engines igniting the 

 grass along the right of way. which soon communicated to the woods. For 

 some time the state forestry office of Kentucky has been soliciting tbe 

 aid of the various railroads traversing the state in checking the fires.

The Gottshall Manufacturing Company's plant is now about completed 

 and the new planing and sawmills are under operation. This plant was 

 destroyed by fire a few months ago and has since been in course of re- 

 buildin,£:. The concern formerly had a cooperage plant, but this has not 

 been rebuilt, as the company is handling little cooperage. 



H. B. Haughton. proprietor of one of the important elevator factories 

 of the country, died at his home in this city recently, after an illness of 

 several months' duration. He left a wife, mother, sisters and brothers. 

 Mr. Haughton took hold of an elevator business which was in its infancy 

 and amounted to little. Within a few years it had become one of the big
