H. A. Smith, local manager for the Hardwood Products Company, 

 Neenah, \Vis., reports a good trade and fine possilnlities for the future, 



P. W. Longyear has started in the wholesale hardwood business at 50 

 Church street. He was for some time with the W. M. Ritter Lumber 

 Company, at the manufacturing end. where he gained his technical 

 knowledge of the business. Mr. Longyear will distribute Tennessee hard- 

 woods, being associated with W. Granville Taylor, of .\sheville. N. C. He 

 will also handle cypress from the Lyon Cypress Company at Garyville. La.

 a hardwood department which will be under the direction of Frank Reich- 

 enberg. a thoroughly experienced hardwood man. He was formerl.v 

 associated with the Ferd Brenner Lumber Company at Chattanooga and 

 Norfolk, and later was in the hardwood business at Paris, France. So 

 his experience is in both domestic and export, and since he has been 

 continuously in touch with the trade in the States, he is well qualified 

 to conduct the new branch of the Berry Lumber Company's business. 



=-< BUFFALO >• 



The A. J. ("iK'stnut Lumber Coniiiany finds business picking up, with an 

 occasional big order for a long-time shipment coming in. E. B. Lott, 

 Tice-president. is looking after trade in New York. 



The embargoes in effect on the railroads are seriously interfering with 

 shipments to New England territory and very little is going through just 

 now except foodstuffs. This seems bound to create a strong market in 

 time, for buyers are much in need of material. Delays to lumber already 

 shipped have been numerous during the past few weeks. 



The outlook for the building trade in this section is promising, though 

 so far this year the bad weather has interfered with building operations 

 and the total of permits is small. It is expected that the year will see 



as much building done as in 191."> and probably more. Some large factor.v 

 enterprises arc being planned and the total expenditure for several of these 

 will reach into the millions. 



The Hugh McLean Lumber Company reports business picking up in 

 hardwoods and the yard has booked some good orders for plain and quar- 

 tered oak and ash within tlie past few weeks. 



G. Elias & Bro., Inc., have started work on the new dock at the yard, 

 which will probably be ready for use during the next season of navigation. 

 It will be one of the largest lumber docks in the city. 



The Yeager Lumber Company states that hardwood prices are getting 

 stronger in some lines and the outlook is for a good year in the trade. 

 Maple is in especially good demand. 



H. L. and Charles Abbott of the .\tlantic Lumber Company management 

 here, were bereaved on January 17 by the death of their father, Marcus 

 Abbott, who died at East Aurora, in his eighty-sixth year.

For the first time in the history of the port of Philadelphia the great 

 shipyards are unable to accept orders for delivery within the usual period.

A. J. Levy has entered the wholesale lumber business under his own 

 name, with an office at 302 Finance building. He will specialize in hard- 

 woods, white pine, hemlock and spruce, Mr. Levy has been associated
