H'fiitti mild from iitiiii' 'M\\ 



able history of this house. It may be of interest to trace 

 briefly its development. 



The Adams & Williamson Veneer Company was 

 founded more than half a century ago at Indianapolis by 

 Marshall D. Williamson, the pioneer in the veneer busi- 

 ness in the then "West." Marshall D. Williamson was 

 active in all departments of his business and the many 

 improvements in methods and equipment w^hich his 

 thorough knowledge enabled him to perfect, and the 

 unfailing honesty of his business relations, fore-ordained 

 his marked success and the perpetuation of his name in the 

 industry. 



Two generations have succeeded him. Dwight W. 

 Williamson, his son, has been actively in the business for 

 thirty-five years and is president of the company. Roger 

 W. Williamson, his grandson, vice-president and sales 

 manager, has been a principal in the organization for the 

 past ten years. 



While leaning strongly toward the conservative in ad- 

 vertising his accomplishments, D. W. Williamson has 

 contributed a great number of the improvements in veneer 

 machinery, which make possible the precision and speed 

 characteristic of American veneer mills. His knowledge 

 of logs ranks him as an authority whose right to that 

 position is recognized wherever veneer is made or used. 



In 1900 the company moved its plant from Indian- 

 apolis to Baltimore, recognizing the superior facilities af- 

 forded by that city for the collection of the choicest timber 

 from all parts of the country, especially the South. Enor- 



mous quantities of logs are exported through the port of 

 Baltimore, w^hich frequently makes it possible to secure 

 an unusual selection. Moreover, it is one of the best loca- 

 tions on the Atlantic Coast for the importation of veneer 

 logs of foreign precious w^oods and the export of veneers. 

 The Baltimore mill was completely destroyed by fire 

 July 4, 1904. It was, however, immediately rebuilt and 

 now consists of six substantial buildings; cutting mill, saw- 

 mill, dryhouse, warehouse, power house and office build- 

 ing. The equipment includes a seventeen foot two-inch 

 slicer, three ten-foot rotary veneer machines, three seven- 

 foot rotary veneer machines and two sawmills. The 

 major machines are backed by adequate accessory equip- 

 ment, carefully chosen for its merit and adaptability to 

 requirements. N. Franklin Hart is in charge of manu- 

 facture. The brief historical background brings us down 

 to current events and the specific purpose of the an- 

 nouncement. Hardwood Record is glad to chronicle the 

 fact that another manufacturer of high-grade veneers has 

 come to fully recognize the vast importance of the great 

 central market and will henceforth be represented in 

 Chicago by its own organization. R. J. Cavanaugh, form- 

 erly in charge of the Jamestown office, is now perma- 

 nently located at Chicago, temporarily at the Hotel La 

 Salle. He will represent the Williamson Company ex- 

 clusively in Chicago and surrounding territory. 



Mr. Cavanaugh's associates are H. C. Livingston, in 

 charge of the New York office, and C. J. Cummins, who 

 handles the southeastern territory out of High Point, N. C.
