=■< BUFFALO y- 



The Chamber of Commerce has lately prepared figures to show the 

 industrial growth of this city, and it is stated that as much gain has 

 been made in the past two years as in tbe previous ten. In 1900 the 

 city had 1.470 industries, with a payroll of .$19,000,000 and producing 

 goods each year valued at .$10.5,000.000. In 191.3 the industries bad 

 increased to 2,074, with a payroll of $54,000,000 and producing goods 

 valued at $32.'), 000,000. Tbe iron and steel trade has been one of the 

 leading factors in this growth. Buffalo has more than held its own 

 as a hardwood center in the past few years and this important industry 

 has had a large part in contributing to the prosperity of the city. 



Michael Zeis, a manufacturer of doors and hardwood trim, died 

 at his home in this city on November 30, aged sixty-eight years. Ho 

 was head of the firm of M. Zeis & Sons and bad been in business here 

 for many years. Death was caused by a stroke of apoplexy. Ho is 

 survived by his wife, three sons and five daughters. 



.'Vnthony Miller's yard is receiving stocks of maple and birch, which 

 arc reijorled most in demand at present, though trade is said to be 

 rather slow to make a gain. 



The Atlantic Lumber Company is quite busy and states that tDere 

 is a good improvement in the common grades of oak, while firsts and 

 seconds in maple are also in good demand. 



J. B. Wall of tbe Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Company has gone South 

 for a two weeks' business trip. He will visit Alabama, Arkansas and 

 Mississippi before returning. 



A new dock 775 feet long is being built on the Buffalo river by 

 C. Elias & Bro. at their yard. The Buffalo river -will be deep enough 

 to pennit large vessels to bring lumber direct to the yard. 



Jackson & Tindle are carrying on logging operations at their tract 

 at Jackson Borough. Out., getting out a large amount of lumber, espe- 

 cially spruce, whitewood and poplar, 



E. W. Goerlitz has returned home from a business trip to Michigan 

 for T. Sullivan & Co., and reports a good demand for hardwoods there. 

 The yard has lately been receiving a large stock of brown ash. 



Tbe I'eager Lumber Company states that a better feeling exists in 

 hardwoods, though price unsetllement still exists to some extent. Poplar 

 is reported to be selling in larger quantity than for some time. 



The Hugh McLean Lumber Company finds the hardwood trade im- 

 proving and slates that the furniture factories are now running more 

 actively than for some time. 



=-< PITTSBURGH >- 



The American Lumber & Manufacturing Company announces that prices 

 are higher all along the line and that inquiry is coming in at a rate which 

 guarantees better shipments after the first of the year. Some complaint 

 is noted because of the car shortage in this district. 



The Joseph Cottrell Lumber Company is busy at its plant in Virginia 

 and is turning out a fine lot of mine and railroad lumber for which it finds 

 good sale. 



The Frampton-Foster Lumber Company has taken some of the biggest 

 orders in its history during the past month. The company's business with 

 the corporations and especially with the railroads has been very satis- 

 factory of late. 



The Acorn Lumber Company believes that prices are up to stay, although 

 it is a little uncertain what will develop in a business way next year 

 because of the war and a Democratic congress together with the presiden- 

 tial election. However, President Domhoff is inclined to think that the 

 market will be good.
