John M. I'ritchard. secretary of the Gum Lumber Manufacturers' Asso- 

 ci.'ition, is authority for the statement that there is an Increasing demand 

 for red gum for interior trim and that many distributors throughout the 

 country are finding It necessary to carry In stock various items made of 

 red gum so as to be In position to take care of the requirements of their 

 clients. It was feared that the war would tend to very materially 

 reduce the use of red gum, but the activity in building operations and 

 the growing favor of this wood are both factors operating in Its behalf. 



The Commercial Trust & Savings bank presents the first exhlbltioD 

 of red gum as both an Interior and exterior finish. " There are several 

 buildings here, and a number of ofTices, in which red gum Is used for 

 interior trim, hut this is the only structure where red gum has been 

 used on the outside. There is a revolving door at the entrance to this 

 building and around it are large panels of wood in figured red gum. 

 The inner offices used by the bank are also finished in the same material. 

 It is anticipated that this building will prove a splendid advertising 

 medium for red gum and that this exhibition will stimulate the popu- 

 larity of this wood. 



Itusse & Burgess, Inc., are also preparing to make their contribution 

 toward the freer use of red gum. They are having their offices in 

 North Memphis rebuilt and figured red gum is being used throughout. 

 The offices, when completed, will be among the handsomest in this part 

 of the countr.v.

 being occasioned.
