LOUISVILLE 



A meeting: of the directors of the Kentucky Retail Lumber Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation will be held in December to decide on the time and place for the 

 next convention, which will probably be held in Louisville in late January 

 or early February. 



Kdward L. Davis of the Edward L. Davis Lumber Company reports that 

 both of his mills are running, but that he has stopped buying logs, and 

 will cut out what he has on hand or rolling. 



The I. B. Wilcox Lumber Company has logs on hand to run until Christ- 

 mas, and by that time expects to have excellent yard stocks on hand. 



The Wood Mosaic Company has closed its mills at Huntington, W. Va., 

 and Jackson. Tenn., and placed the Louisville and New Albany mills on 

 a 45-hour basis per week. Up to a month ago the Louisville mill was 

 working double shifts, but has cleaned up somewhat on the overstock of 

 logs, and now has its yard stocks up to about normal. 



Operations at the Louisville mill of the Louisville Point Lumber Com- 

 pany have been down for a few days while a new log feeding carriage of 

 the "shot gun" feed type was being installed. The company is jammed 

 with log.s here, and will run for some time to come in cleaning up and is 

 slowing down in log buying. The High Bridge, Ky., mills were down for 

 a few days awaiting river logs, but got in supplies in a river rise and have 

 started again. 



All four of the southern mills of the Holly Ridge Lumber Company are 

 running, and a slightly better demand for ash is reported from that com- 

 pany. 



Harry C. Inman of the Inman Veneer & Panel Company reports a fine 

 veneer demand, the company's Mound City veneer mills being good and 

 busy. However, panel business has slumped badly and the local plant 

 isn't at all busy now. 



The North Vernon Lumber Mills report that they are making fine 

 progress in laying up a big log supply at the company's Tennessee mills, 

 and will operate well into the new year at that point. 



Further delay in getting machinery installed has held up starting the 

 new mill of the Navco Hardwood Company at Mobile, Ala., and the com- 

 pany isn't ready to start yet. 



The Norman Lumber Company reports a good demand for box shooks, 

 while poplar siding is slumping off as a result of the dullness in the build- 

 ing trades. 



For the past three months building operations in Louisville have shown 

 a steady decline, and have been below the corresponding mouths of last 

 season. However, it is reported that there is close to $17,000,000 of new 

 work hanging fire, some of which will start next season. 



Tom Wallace of the Louisville Courier Journal has been making an 

 extended trip through the Eastern Kentucky oil, coal and timber districts, 

 visiting all of the important towns and writing a story a day concerning 

 the conditions in that section. An especially interesting story was 

 recently written from Stearns, Ky., dealing with the operations of the 

 Steiirns Coal & Lumber Company, head by J. F. Stearns, a concern with 

 over 100,000 acres of timber land under control in that section, with 

 holdings also in Florida, Washington, Wisconsin and elsewhere. 



As a result of the big drop in valuations of cotton, tobacco, grain, etc., 

 wagon and automobile as well as vehicle interests have suffered heavy 

 cancellations of orders in the South. Sixty days ago some companies were 

 about ready to close up sales for the season and call their men in, but the 

 situation is now entirely changed,

The Hammond-ChanUlep Lumber Company of Rice Lake has been 

 granted authority to increase its capitalization from $100,000 to $125,000. 



The Grant Furniture Company, Racine, has under consideration plans 

 and specifications for a $60,000 factory and warehouse at 502-508 Sixth

 and concrete, with metal sash and mill floors. The architect and engineer 

 is D. R. Davis of Racine. It is possible that construction work may not 

 be started until early next spring. 



The Miller Sash and Door Company of Marinette recently closed one 

 of the largest individual contracts it has ever accepted. It calls for the 

 entire interior finish for the new St. Anne's Catholic Church at Glad- 

 stone, Mich., which will be the largest edifice in the Upper Peninsula. 

 The execution of the order will require several months, keeping the Miller 

 factory busy at full capacity throughout the winter. 



The Bub Body Corporation of Milwaukee has been incorporated with 

 an authorized capitalization of $25,000 to engage in the manufacture of 

 automobile bodies of all kinds, specializing in special types such as sport

 the winter months, to be ready for operations about February 1. 



The Baldwin Lumber Company of Milwaukee has filed amendments to 

 its corporate articles, effecting a change of style to Baldwin Battery Box 

 Company. Its factory is located at 5801 National Avenue, in West Allls, 

 a suburb. The change is made in order to make the style more expres- 

 sive of its present principal line of production, which is containers for 

 storage batteries and other accumulators.

 at Ashland, has effected a material increase in Its capitalization to ac-
