Competition Stimulates Quality 



A buyer's market invariably results in quality com- 

 petition in manufactured i^oods — for obvious reasons. 

 Quality competition without added qu.ility to back it is disastrous — 

 requiring more rigid guarantee of poods it means that the man not 

 able to improve liis product here and there to approacli perfection is 

 merely betting witli himself on whctlier he will or will not have to 

 make good on stock which, to get the order, he guaranteed.

A number of members of the trade here who hove been in the con- 

 suming sections of the United States have returned to Memphis and arc 

 very much impressed with the outlook for business this fall and winter.

The Wisconsin & Arkansas Lumber Company at Malvern. Ark., has 

 resumed logging operations with a view to starting up its machinery the 

 first of the new year. It suspended both logging and milling operations 

 about the last of June, but has made such inroads on its stock of lumber 

 through deliveries since that time that It finds It necessary to start up 

 Its machinery soon if it ts to be in position to take care of orders now 

 in sight. 



The Chapman-Dowcy Lumber Company at Marked Tree, Ark., is another 

 of the larger firms In the part of this country to resume operations. It 

 has started up its big band mill after a suspension covering more than a 

 year. The ChapmanDewey Lumber Company has offices In Memphis. It 

 Is understood that the other hardwood Industries at Marked Tree, some of 

 which have been running for some time, are increasing their operating 

 hours on account of orders now being received by them.

 has purchased the plant of the old Iiunckel Box & Lumber Company at 

 that point and will use this for the manufacture of cabinet stocks and all 

 kinds of hardwood dimension material. 



Lumbermen throughout this section are very much interested in certain 

 tests which are being made at the plant of Geo. C. Brown & Co. at 

 Proctor. Ark., under the auspices of the Forest Products I>atioralory at 

 Madison. Wis. These tests consist of an oak mill-scale study and in 

 conducting them -100 oak logs will be used. Exact records will be kept 

 showing the time required in sawing, the amount of waste and other 

 salient points. The lumber will be Inspected by representatives of the 

 two big hardwood associations and inspectors nf these organizations will 

 record all details. Tills lumber will be piled separately and. when It has 

 dried. It will be r' inspected by the same gentlemen. Similar tests have 

 before been made, but they have been conducted in a rather limited way 

 and with ntber malcrlal than oak. The outcome is expected to prove of 

 much value to manufacturers of oak lumber in all parts of the South and 

 this accounts for the unusual interest shown therein.
