HARDWOOD RECORD 



55 



The sawmill and planing mill of Ilollister, Amos & Co. at Oshkosh, Wis., 

 which was almost totally destroyed by fire on June 28, will be rebuilt, fol- 

 lowing a reorganization of the ownership, heretofore vested in the Estate 

 uf Col. S. W. HoUister. The Fuller-Goodman Company of Osbkosh, oper- 

 ating lumber manufacturing plants as well as eighteen line yards in 

 northeastern Wisconsin, has taken over the interests of the estate. Carl 

 W. Hollister, who was active head of the business since the death of his 

 father, becomes a member of the new ownership group and besides con- 

 tinuing in charge of the lumber manufacturing operation, will supervise the 

 logging. The new mill is designed for an output of 10,000,000 feet a year. 

 The site has been enlarged by the acquisition of a tract, 300 by 600 feet, 

 on the river front. A concentrating yard and a retail yard will be estab- 

 lished. W. N. Foss, formerly of Minneapolis, has become associated with 

 the new owners as sales manager of the transfer yard and the wholesale 

 hardwood department. 



The Union Manufacturing Company of Oconto Falls has amended its 

 corporate articles to effect an increase in capital stock from $80,000 to 

 .$200,000. 



The E. Hoenisch Company, Tomahawk, Wis., intends to erect a new plant 

 to replace its crating, lath and shingle mill, destroyed by fire late in Sep- 

 tember. 



The Roddis Lumber & Veneer Company of Marshfield is working on a 

 block of ten new dwellings, the first unit of a total of one hundred houses 

 to be erected within a year's time to accommodate its workers and other- 

 wise relieve the local housing shortage. 



The mill and factory of the Rice Lake Manufacturing Company at Rice 

 Lake was destroyed by fire on October 9, causing a loss of about $10,000. 

 with small insurance. The business is owned by S. S. Pederson of Rice 

 Lake and Andrew Hanson of Chippewa Falls, who probably will rebuild 

 during the winter or early next spring. 



The Falls Manufacturing Company of Oconto Falls has increased its 

 authorized capitalization from .$400,000 to $1,000,000 to accommodate the 

 growth of its business and finance material expansion of its facilities. 



Stephen R. Davis of Eau Claire, secretary of the Dells Paper & Pulp 

 Company, and widely known in the lumber trade, has been elected president 

 of the Multitone Manufacturing Company of Eau Claire, which manufac- 

 tures phonographs, cabinets, etc. He takes the place of Edward J. Sail- 

 stad^ founder of the concern, who is supposed to have perished in a fire 

 which destroyed his summer cottage at Lake Nebagamon, in Douglas 

 county, on August 27. Insurance companies have withheld payment of 

 claims of more than $60,000 pending a thorough investigation of suspi- 

 cious circumstances which indicate a possibility that Mr. Sailstad is alive. 

 His bookkeeper. Miss Dorothy Anderson, formerly of Chicago, disappeared 

 about the same time as the fire occurred. The Multitone company is said 

 to be in excellent financial condition and operating at capacity, with 

 production considerably behind orders. 



The Lundquist Lumber Company of Antigo has sold a full section of 640 

 acres in the town of Elton, Langlade county, to the Riverside Fibre & 

 Pulp Company of Appleton for a consideration of $43,000. 



The Park Falls Lumber Company of Park Falls, a member of the Edward 

 Hines group, is making extensive improvements in its property at Rice 

 Lake, purchased a year ago from the Rice Lake Lumber Company. The 

 planing mill and grain door factory is being equipped with two new boilers. 

 A new monorail system is being installed to carry logs from the railroad 

 cars to the landing or storage and thence to the mill. Electric locomotives 

 will be used. The improvement will obviate the necessity of storing logs 

 in the woods and subjecting them to the hazards of forest fires, while the 

 efficient handling of logs in the mill and yard also is greatly improved. 



The Hardwood Market 



CHICAGO 



It is being asserted by prominent Chicago lumbermen that the price of 

 hardwoods and other lumber has reached its new low level, and that no 

 further general reductions in prices may be expected. Some items, it is 

 stated, are already selling below cost of production, and the market can't 

 go much lower and permit the lumber interests to continue to do business. 

 Only small and occasional orders are being placed with the plants in the 

 various branches of the woodworking industry — virtually nothing with 

 phonograph cabinet and automobile body people. But the railroads and 

 car building plants are still buying substantially and those concerns having 

 such material to. sell are finding such sales a sustaining arm during the 

 period of slack demand for the ordinary grades of hardwoods. Buyers 

 continue to dominate the market and are most insistently bearish. In 

 opposition to this heavily aggressive movement some of the larger hardwood 

 firms have apparently adopted a "take it or leave it" method of quoting. 

 They quote a price which will give them a fair profit and refuse to cut that 

 price when told that the item in question may be purchased at a much 

 lower figure. The prices quoted are generally very low as compared to the 

 figures that were common three months ago. In the meantime every pos- 

 sible thing is being done to curtail production and prevent a too large 

 accumulation of mill stocks.
