J. F. MUUer & Sohn Esubllsh Office in New Orleans 



The oapiililo looklnii livriniiii. whose iilnuonrnpli l» r.produced In this 

 connection, U II. K. Claeser, .Vni.rl.iin r.|>resinintlv.> of J. K. Mllller k 

 Sctta, the liiri:i!il contlni'iiinl llrni of hiirdwood and niiilioKuny brokers of 

 llamburi:, (iiruuiny. Mr. (;iiieser Is koIiik to open olllo'S In New Orleans, 

 and will ri'prespiit .Mllllers In nil their triinsncllons In this country. 



The American buslnesii of J. K. MUller & Sobn has Ix-en somewhat 

 chonceil In Its character since the llrst of the yeor. Vp to that time the 

 llrm handled sales of local brokers .nnd buyers of various kinds of American 

 forest pr.Mluits, but since that date the policy bus been to handle also 

 direct from tbi- American exporters and producers. The main Idea of the 

 work n-lll be llrm sales, that is, they will solicit the Inquiries of conti- 

 nental Iniportlns hou8<'s nnd place those orders with reliable .Vmerlciin 

 llrms. In the meantime they are cstabllshlnK themselves closely with n 

 considerable line of prominent American manufacturers. 



While this will hi the main bulk of work, the llrm will also accept 

 consijinments where such consignments arc In keeping with the regular 

 custom of business, as for instance in wnlnut, hickory and nsb logs. In 

 lumber, however, the work will he handled only by contract. 



In addition to enlarging Its scope of business In this way, J. F. Milller & 

 Bohn have now provided for the handling of various other lines than those 

 formerly handled, such as all kinds of hardwood lumber and cooperage 

 stock, pitch pine, and various other forest products. In all Its work 

 the llrm operates purely and entirely on n commission basis, never handling 

 anything on Its proper account. 



J. F. MdUer & .Sohn have been established In Hamburg for more than a 

 century, and as a result they are probably better established than anyone 

 else to handle such goods. They have well equipped storage yards, and 

 branch ottlces In I'arls, Duesseldorf and Antwerp. On account of the ex- 

 tensive organization which they maintain, the nrm is very closely In touch 

 with the buying trade abroad and with market conditions ; hence. Is In 

 position to advise It.s customers and those from whom It purchases regard- 

 ing advisable sales and purchases. They arc closely In touch with the 

 trade throughout the entire continent. Kurthcrmore, the plan of operating 

 purely on a commission basis makes It probable that prices secured for 

 Imported stock are at all times favorable. 



Walter MUller, one of the two partners, has been In this country since 

 the early part of April on an fxt.nded wedding tour and has l)een 



panlod on bU Journey by Mr. tJlo.iMr. .Mr. and Mr». MUller were In Cbl-

Marathon Lumber Company's New Mill 



The Marathon I.uinlier Company lins under conKtruction at Laurel, Miss., 

 a large mill, which when completed will be n notable addition to the lumber 

 Industry In its section. The up-to-date ebnnicler of this mill's equipment 

 Is well Indicated by the arrangeinenls made for the drying of Its product. 

 It will have a battery of seven molst-alr kilns, each 104x2o feet, furnlHbed 

 by the Standard Dry Kiln Company of IndlnnnpollH. These kilns are the 

 last word In type nnd construction, embodying every modern Improvement, 

 Including "The Standard" steel post foundation, door rnriiers, etc. 



The Marathon Lumljor Company, It Is iinderNtood, Is controlled by the 

 same Interests as the W'ausau Southern Lumber Cimipany of Uiurcl. The 

 selection of "The Standard" kiln for the new Marathon plant rame as a 

 result of the thorough test given this make of kiln at the Wausau com- 

 pany's mill, where Bvc "Standard" kilns were Installed two yearn ago. A 

 year later two more of the same kilns vn-rf added. The seven kilns now to 

 be Installed at the new plant will give these two mills a combined hatt.ry 

 of fourteen "Standard" kilns.
