Interstate Lumber Company, fiom 1268 Arcade building, to room 1008-10, 

 tlie same building. 



The Sherrill Hardwood Lumber Company of Merryville, La., and tbe- 

 Slierrill-Eussell Lumber Company of Paducah, Ky., have opened a St. Louis- 

 sales office in charge of H. N. Saylor, Jr. A Chicago office ha.s recently- 

 been established at 76 Monroe street, with K. G. Gould in charge. 



Mr. Saylor, in speaking of the condition of the marliet here and of the- 

 prospects for the future, expressed tbe opinion that while a quiet mar- 

 liet may obtain all winter, it is his opinion that things will begin to boom, 

 in the spring. This, he said, was due to the fact that all lumber cus- 

 tomers are at present staying out of the market waiting for a further 

 reduction in prices and when the spring opens up with the anticipated 

 demand for lumber for all purposes, building, automobile manufacturing, 

 etc., they will all come into the market and will cause not only a large 

 demand but also an upturn in price. 



He expressed the opinion also that furniture manufacturers would place 

 a new line on the market to stimulate their business and that figured red 

 gum would be the vogue in place of mahogany and oak. 



One of the main causes of the present slump in the hardwood market 

 in St. Louis is the shut-down of the General Motors plant here. This 

 condition, it is feared, will obtain until after tbe first of the new year. 

 At the time these plants started last .year it was thought they would reach 

 a point where they would employ five thousand people, but they had not 

 reached that figure before the shutdown. Building has been going on at a 

 fairly good rate, but of course this will slacken with .the coming of the 

 cold weather.

The United Wood Products Company, Chippewa Falls, is contemplating 

 the erection of a new factory costing about $30,000. An architect will be 

 selected shortly and work probably will begin early in the Spring of 1921. 

 A. W. Juster is secretary and manager. 



The Polonia Phonograph Company of Milwaukee has been organized 

 with a capitalization of .1>50,000 to engage in the manufacture of talking 

 machines, cabinets, records, etc. Contracts have been awarded for the 

 erection of a factory at Grove and Harrison Streets, to be two stories 

 high, 40 by 160 feet in size and cost about .$30,000 -n'ith equipment.

The H. H. White Company of Sturgeon Bay is the name of a new cor- 

 poration which has been organized with an authorized capitalization of 

 $25,000 to manufacture and deal in toys, novelties, handles and all kinds

Andrew Kaul, Jr., & Co., Merrill, Wis., manufacturers of hubs, spokes 

 and other hardwood products, announces the appointment of C. D. Clarke, 

 formerly of Rhinelander, as manager. Mr. Clarke retires as manager of 

 yards of the Brown Land and Lumber Company to accept the new 

 duties. He served for a number of years as superintcudent of the Wright 

 Lumber Company at Merrill, later taking charge of the big mill of 

 Flynn and Schultz of Chicago in the same city, .Afterward he organized 

 a company of his own which he managed for fifteen years. Three years 

 ago he went to Rhinelander to join the Brown company. 



The vast plant of the Pabst Brewing Company at Milwaukee, centered 

 at Ninth and Chestnut Streets, is now the home of more than twenty- 

 five large Industrial corporations which have taken over individual build- 

 ings, parts of buildings, or new structures erected on the property by 

 the Pabst company after prohibition cut down its annual output of beer 

 from 2,000,000 barrels to a present capacity of 400,000 barrels of cereal 

 beverage. One of the prominent tenants at present is the Badger Cabinet 

 Company, and the Jackson Piano Company, which has its case and action 

 factories at this point. 



O. E. Knoke of Hatley, Wis., a well known hardwood lumber manufac- 

 turer of the North, is establishing a new mill at Appleton, Wis., to be 

 served b.v the new extension which the Wisconsin and Northern Railway 

 has built southward from Shawno. The new mill is of the single band 

 type and has a capacity of about 40,000 feet in ten hours. It is three 

 stories high, 30 by 110 feet in size, with a separate power house 40 by 60 

 feet equipped with two 150 horsepower boilers. A planing mill will be 

 added next spring. The new plant is equipped for winter sawing and 

 has a hot pond 30 by 110 feet in size. Mr, Knoke is moving his resi- 

 dence from Hatley to Appleton, although continuing in operation the 

 Hatley mill. The Appleton mill will manufacture hardwood and hemlock 

 lumber. 



The B. Heinomann Lumber Company of Wausau has closed down its 

 big sawmill for repairs and replacements. It is hoped to resume opera- 

 tions about December 15 or 20. This, however, will depend largely upon 

 the delivery and installation of some important new machinery units. 

 Several logging camps already are at work in getting out a log supply for 

 the winter and spring run, and others will be opened within a short time. 

 The Heinemann company anticipates a steady run at capacity throughout 

 the winter after its repairs are completed. 



The Wisconsin Box & Lumber Company, Wausau, expects to work u[> 

 about 3,500,000 feet of logs during the coming season. It has two camps
