 by the company to the Ault & Wilborg Company, manufacturer of print-

R. W. Horton of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company reports a good de- 

 mand for hardwoods from the retail trade and from factories. Prices are 

 ruling Arm and every change has been towards higher levels. Retail stocks 

 ■are larger than formerly. Some delay in shipments is caused by the 

 growing car shortage. The company has placed a new man in Colum- 

 1)us territory in the person of E. C. Callanan, who was formerly in the

=■< TOLEDO > 



Toledo lumber dealers were much interested in the decision handed 

 down by Judge Safer at Columbus. April 4. in which he declared the 

 Ohio mechanic's lien law, adopted in 1913, to be valid. He maintained 

 that all such liens must be made in acordance with the state law or 

 the claims of contractors, covered by the act, will be disallowed. Many 

 efforts have been made to knock out the law. 



The Skinner Bending Company is running along about as it has been 

 for some time past. There is plenty of business but the concern has 

 been somewhat handicapped by a shortage in hickorj'. This wood is 

 difficult tc get and high in price. 



The Gogel Manufacturing Comp.'iny has been unusually busy making 

 automobile bodies. It also manufactures wagons and carriages, but this 

 business is of secondary importance at present. The concern uses large 

 quantities of ash, oak and hickory. It is finding good hickory scarce. 

 There is plenty of the southern variety to be had, it is stated, but this 

 is of poor quality. 



The Fred L. Siebert Company report business rushing in automobile 

 delivery bodies. White ash, oak and poplar are used. 



The car shortage and the eastern embargo has had a bad effect on 

 business for the Toledo Bending Company, which has liail great diffi- 

 culty getting shipments through to the East. 



The Booth Column Company is running at full capacity getting out 

 a nice line of orders. The interior column business has been a little 

 stronger than exterior and the call has been quite strong from the East. 

 The car shortage and eastern embargo have interfered with shipments 

 and retarded business to some extent. 



The Gotshall Manufacturing Company reports business much improved, 

 with a nice line of orders coming in for ash and elm. Prices are a little 

 firmer. 



The Booth Bumper Company has been doing a fair business, although 

 many orders are for future de!iver.v. The high price of gasolene and 

 accessories is held responsible for the temporary lull in business. This 

 concern is well stocked.

 of $75,000. 



Announcement has been made here of the dissolution of the Burnet- 

 Lewis Lumber Company, which has been maintaining two yards. Ac- 

 cording to the officers of the old company the dissolution was affected 

 because of the difficulty in maintaining the business of the two yards 

 under one he;id. Two new companies were organized, each taking over 

 the control of half of the old company's business. The Burnet-Binford 

 Lumber Company was incorporated for $25,000 to take over the business 

 of the north yard with Harry B. Burnet, Frank L. Binford and Spencer 

 R. Quick as directors. The Lewis-Forbes Lumber Company with an equal 

 amount of capital took over the ownership of the south yard with T. B.
