The Glue That Is Applied Cold 



In Flush Veneered Doors 



The chief consideration is uniformly high- 

 grade glue. Manufacturers of this modern 

 type of door realize that its development 

 has been retarded because the unavoid- 

 able lack of uniformity in other types of 

 glue makes it impossible to know how 

 l"ng a door will stav in condition. The 



Use 



• 'f vegetable glue insures absolute uni- 

 formity because of the very nature of pre- 

 paring it and because every pound of our 

 raw material is rigidly inspected. 



Vegetable Glue 



Is also a rigid and permanent adherent; 

 will not blister in sanding; has no dis- 

 agreeable odor; will not deteriorate in 

 standing — for a week if necessary; and 

 can be applied cold without any heating 

 application of any kind in the glue room. 

 In addition, the average saving over 

 former glue bills has been twenty per cent 

 where vegetable glue is used.

The Bellgrade Lumber r'ompnny, whirh lins Its olllces In Memphis Iml 

 Its mill at Isoln, Miss., has closed n transartlon Involving about ::..'iIhi 

 acres of hardwood tlmberlands In 8harky county. North Mississippi. Ihls 

 property Is located twrnty-six miles from the site of the mill at Isoln 

 and Insures the company enough timber to enable It to keep In full 

 operation for some years. It has enough tributary to Isola to last three 

 or four years nnd, besides the tract Just purchased, owns still other 

 holdings In that territory. It owns nnd opirates Its own tramronds. .mil 

 these are being gradually extended to facilitate the prompt handling of 

 timber. J. W. McClurc of Memphis, Is secretary and treasurer of tin- 

 company. 



.1. W. Wheeler & Co. have removed their offices to the eleventh llnor 

 of the Bank of Commerce & Trust Company building. These an- In 

 charge of William Pritchard who some time ago bought a half Inti ri-si 

 In the Arm. The other portner Is C. ly. Wheeler who Is In charge of niMllin: 

 operations for the firm. The mill Is located at Madison, Ark. 



T. J. Morris, who recently succeeded W. Brown Morgan as secniiiry 

 uf the Anderson-Tully Company, has also been made sales manager of the 

 box department of this firm. This position was likewise held by .Mr. 

 .Morgan prior to his severance of his ofllclnl connection with that company 

 to become head of the Morgan Veneer Company at I'lue BlulT, Ark. 



J. A. Anawalt has been arrested here on a warrant charging him with 

 stealing fourteen cars of lumber from the Memphis Hardwood Klwirlug 

 Company with which he was connected. It appears from the Investlpiiil.in 

 so far made that the alleged thievery occurred during the absent' nf 

 It. J. Lockwood, general manager of the company. James E. Sinrk. 

 vice-president, and W. L. Crenshaw, president, traced the operations -if 

 Mr. .\nawalt and assert that they found thnt he was disposing of tij.- 

 lumber to another firm here operating a planing mill. It appears tliat 

 he represented himself ns a nonresident of Meniplils although he lias 

 lieen employed by the Memphis Hardwood Flooring Company for several 

 years. Until several days ago he had not been able to make the required 

 bond of $5,000 and was In Jail. 



Building operations here during April greatly exceeded the corresiinnil 

 ing month last year, reaching $420,290, compared with $2S.'i,929. i;m. h 

 montli tills year has shown an Increase over the .same month a year iii;... 

 with the result that the gain since January 1 lias been quite large. Tl]. r.- 

 have been comparatively few large projects put through, most of tin- 

 permits calling for the building of rather iiioilist structures. The ni-il\lly 

 in building circles Is stimulating di-nianil for all kinds of material fur 

 Dished by local manufacturers and distributors, and contractors ami <<ili«r 

 interests are much pleased with the outlook. Both last .year ami th- 

 year before building operations here and elsewhere In this territory w-i-- 

 held in check hy (lord condltlcns, .-V number of towns in Mississippi ;i]iil 

 .\rkan&ns report decided activity in building, and local handlers .-mil 

 manufacturers of building material arc enjoying a good business out ■1. 

 of this city.

 Icon quite popular In society here for some time while Mr. Hansom i-^ 

 one of the best-known and most popular lumbermen In Memphis, par- 

 ticularly among the younger set.

 -tate Commerce Commission in connection with the bearing held at
