were signed "Kidnappers." The letters stated that unless Mr. Kargea 

 left the sum of $2,500, securely wrapped In a newspaper, at a certain 

 place by a certain time that the little granddaughter of Mr. Karges, 

 Dorothy Daus, would be kidnapped and held for ransom. The letters were 

 turned over to the police. They believe that the letters were written by 

 a crank or by some one who is mentally deranged. The granddaughter of 

 Mr. Karges is living at his home this winter while her parents are in 

 Florida. 



M. H. Welsh of the Welsh Lumber Company of Memphis, Tenn., was In 

 Evansville a few days ago calling on the local trade. He reported that the 

 lumber trade in the south at the present time is "shot to pieces," but that 

 the lumbermen are expecting to see business get a whole lot better along 

 early next spring. 



D. B. MacLaren, lumberman of Indianapolis, who had his office in 

 Evansville up to a year ago, was here a few days ago calling on the local 

 trade. He says he found things unusually dull In Evansville and said that 

 trade In Indianapolis and the central part of the state was not much 

 better. 



LOUISVILLE 



The annual convention of the Kentucky Retail Lumber Dealers Asso- 

 ciation will be held in Louisville on Feb. 26 and 27, and should develop 

 some little business on hardwood flooring, interior trim, etc., for the 

 local jobbers and producers. So far the retailers have been taking a little 

 flu in stock in softwoods, but have been buying very little in the hard- 

 wood line, other than a little poplar siding. 



One of the most interesting announcements of some months in Louis- 

 ville was recently made by the Kentucky Wagon Manufacturing Company, 

 which has taken over the wagon business of the Studebaker Corporation 

 of South Bend, the latter concern to devote its full facilities to the pro- 

 duction of automobiles. R. V. Board, president of the Kentucky Wagon 

 Manufacturing Company, stated that this would increase its output of 

 wagons to about 60,000 a year, as the entire line would be made at Louis- 

 ville. This will materially increase its consumption of boxboards and 

 other hardwoods. Its facilities for manufacturing automobiles and trucks 

 have also been increased. 



The announcements from Washington, as of January 10, relative to the 

 Department of Justice, starting an inquiry into alleged price fixing in 

 the lumber industry, hardly caused a ripple of interest locally. Louis- 

 ville manufacturers in the first place haven't anything to hide, and in the 

 second place don't believe the inquiry will amount to anything. 



R. R. May of the R. R. May Hardwood Company, returned from a holi- 

 day trip to Mississippi early in January, and has been very much on the 

 job. He reports numerous Inquiries, and a couple of mighty fine orders 

 pending. 



J. G. Brown of W. P. Brown & Sons Lumber Company, has recently 

 added to his centrally located realty Interests, having bought a two-fifths 

 interest In the Broadway Realty Company, which controls some fine prop- 

 erty at Fourth and Broadway, across the street from some big holdings 

 of Mr. Brown. He has been elected president of the Broadway company. 



Edward L. Davis of the Edward L. Davis Lumber Company, reported a 

 fair demand for lumber, and that the Mobile plant is running full at the 

 present time, the other operations being down for the time being. 



Barry Norman of the Holly Ridge Lumber Company, is very enthusiastic 

 concerning business in the latter part of the year, and Is predicting much 

 higher prices. He is leaving shortly for a trip to inspect the company 

 mills in Mississippi and Louisiana. 



The I. B. Wilcox Lumber Company has recently purchased machinery 

 from the Brodhead-Garrett Company, at Clay City, Ky., and is moving 

 it to Burdette, Miss., to rebuild the mill at that point, which was burned 

 late in the fall. 



J. S. Thompson manager of the Louisville division of the Southern 

 Hardwood TraflSc Association, left Louisville on January 19, for Memphis, 

 to attend the annual meeting ot the parent body on Thursday. Mr. 

 Thompson is expecting an early decision by the Interstate Commerce Com- 

 mission in oiinnectlon with Louisville's fight for the milling in transit 

 privilege. 



ST. LOUIS 



It was reported some time ago that furniture manufacturers ot St. 

 Louis wore going to put out a cheaper line of furniture after the first of 

 January. The secretary of the Furniture Manufacturers Association said 

 today they had no such thought in mind now. They expect a further 

 reduction in the price because of conditions now obtaining but they expect 

 to raise the quality of furniture and not to lower it. 



Most of the furniture factories in St. Louis at the present time are 

 closed down and there are only two working full time, the Western Furni- 

 ture Company and Wolf & Kraemer Furniture Company. 



The ofiice of the East Side Lumber Trade Exchange, has been moved 

 from Ea.st St. Louis, 111., to St. Louis, Secretary J. C. Kremer having 

 secured offices at 735 Boatmen's Bank building. 



Upon announcement made in New York that W. C. Durnnt of the Gen- 

 eral Motors Company would resign and head a new company called Durant 

 Motors, Inc., the Chamber of Commerce wired him inviting him to make 

 St. Louis the home of his new company. To show the i'-'oi-est which St.
