The Acinic r.udy Wcirks ut Apph't<-)ii, established about i-iyliteon uiontbs 

 ni;o to build bodies, cabs, etc., for motor vehicles, has incorporated its 

 business without change o£ st.rle. The ownership likewise remains the 

 same as before. The capital stock is $60,000. The incorporators are 

 <!eorge W, Wiegand, Mary Wiegand and C. C. Seeger. 



.'\rthur J, Heath, Fond du Lac, who recently was granted letters patent 

 on a new type of iceless refrigerator designed along the lines of the familiar 

 ieelK)X in the home, is organizing a new corporation to undertake the 

 manufacture of the article. Mr. Heath has been associated with the 

 .\nderson Vehicle Company at Fond du Lac. The new concern probably 

 will be known as the Sanitary Iceless Refrigerator Company and the capital 

 stock will lie in the neighborhood o£ $100,000. 



The Northwestern Furniture Company of Milwaukee, oni' of the leadina 

 inanufacturers of store, bank and office fixtures, furniture, trim, etc., in 

 tile .Middle West, lias recently increased its authorized capitalization from 

 $150,000 to $250,000 to accommodate the growth of its business, Rudolph 

 C. Haase is president and general manager. 



The Priestley Lumber Company, 000 Railway Kxcbange building, Mil- 

 waukee, a large wholesale hardwood and general lumlier concern of Wis- 

 consin, has increased its capital stock from $2ri,(l00 to $50,000. Glenn 

 W. I'riestley is president, and Eugene E, Wallace, secretary and treasurer. 

 The Menasha Woodenware Company, Menasha, has completed extensive 

 improvements and betterments in its main plant at Menasha and is re- 

 suming operations after a recess of aljout two months during which ex- 

 tensions were made, the plant retooled and new equipment and other 

 machinery placed. 



The WinnelKigo Furniture Company, Fond du Lac. which closed down 

 its factory at the holiday season tor a read.1ustment of inventories, has 

 resumed operations with a crew equivalent to the numlier employed at 

 that time. The accumulation of orders is sufflcient to insure the con- 

 tinuous running of the plant for an indefinite period. Warehouse stocks 

 have been reduced to a minimum by shipping directions and current output 

 is being delivered as rapidly as loading accommodations are provided, 

 officials of the company are of tlie opinion that conditions will return tn 

 a virtually normal basis within a sliort time and are already planninj; on 

 increased forces. 



The Abel & Bach Company. 1000 St. Paul avenue, Milwaukee, a large 

 trunk and liag manufacturing concern, has resumed operations after a 

 short interruption due to a fire, which caused an estimated loss of $12,000 

 to $15,000 earlier in the month. The blaze was confined to the upper 

 Hours and considerable liardwood stock was damaged by fire, smoke and 

 water. 



The .\lgoma Panel Company, .Algoma, is again operating at normal 

 capacity after a cessation of alKiut four weeks for inventory, repairs and 

 replacements, and general overhauling of the plant, as well as the reduc- 

 tion i>{ tinished stocks. New business is being booked in satisfactory 

 volume and it is believed that it will be possible to maintain a regular 

 prtiduction schedule from this time forward. 



The Foster Creek Lumber & Manufacturing Company, Madison, lias 

 increased its capitalization from $2,000,000 to $2,750,000, 



The Northern Furniture Company ot Sheboygan, through Edward Hain- 

 inett. general manager, has issued a strong denial of the pulilished reports 

 that it has disposed of the former Winter factory to tlie Crocker Chair 

 Company of the same city, and in turn acciuired tlie Crocker company's 

 "I!" factory. It is officially stated tliat not even negotiations have been 

 under way. The Northern company has erected a number of new buildings 

 during tbe past year wbicli will cover its present needs of iiroductive 

 facilities. 



The Laird & Wilson Company, Crandon, has started operations in its 

 new factory with a crew of forty men. Several varieties of excelsior are 

 being manufactured, including coarse grades for packing purposes, and 

 liner grades for mattresses, upliolstering and similar uses. The weekly 

 shipments range from eight to ten carbjads. A sawmill and liarking de- 

 liartment are lieing provided in an addition to tlie plant now under 

 construction. 



The Chas. W. Fish Lumber Company of Elcho resumed the operation of 

 its sawmill at Antigo on a schedule of six days a week. Later a night 

 crew will 1m' added, but this will depend largely upon the development of 

 tbe demand. The mill is amply supplied with logs and new supplies are 

 being received almost daily. The Antigo mill is the first of tbe five mills 

 ownixl by tbe company to resume work for the new season. 



The Hi'kkedal Lumber Company of Couderay has laid off about one-third 

 of tbe forces operating its lumber camps because of the mild weather and 

 also because of the accumulation of logs in view of the condition of the 

 hardwood and general lumber market. More than a million feet are on 

 the skids and this is keeping two steam haulers busy for about six weeks 

 longer. The Ilekkedal company has suffered a great deal of inconvenience 

 because of the open winter, as most of its logging roads follow the low- 

 lands and the swamps have been frozen up only at intervals.
