HARDWOOD RECORD 



-Mrs. Elizabeth J. Wildermuths, widow o£ James C. Wildermuths, 

 formerly president of the Wildermuths Bending Company of Columbus, 

 died recently at Pasadena, Cal. 



Operations at the factory of the Scioto Box Company of Columbus, 

 recently purchased by Thaddeus Troy, have not been started. The new- 

 owners are trying to dispose of the plant. 



K. W. Horton, sales manager tor the central division of the W. M. 

 Rltter Lumber Company, says trade in hardwoods is holding up well 

 despite the general business depression. Records for the month of June 

 are up to those of June of last year. Orders from retailers are the 

 best while some factories are buying in limited quantities. Prices are 

 generally well maintained although there is some shading to force trade. 



John R. Gobey of the company bearing his name says hardwood de- 

 mand is good and prices are fairly firm. 



A. C. Davis of the A. C. Davis Lumber Company reports a fair de- 

 mand for hardwoods with prices ruling rather firm at former levels. 



=■< TOLEDO y- 



The Toledo Bending Company reports a fair business from general 

 sources. Materials are rather scarce and prices a little inclined toward 

 inflation, but this concern has plenty of oak, ash and hickory for its 

 needs at the present time. 



Many of the local hardwod dealers and manufacturers in Toledo were 

 in attendance at the outing of tlie Toledo Commerce Club at Cedar Point, 

 June 17. Several bands and orchestras added to the gaiety and there was 

 a big baseball game between the Wholesale and Retail boards of the club. 



W. S. Booth of the Booth Column Company reports business picking up 

 all over the country and states that his concern has a nice line of orders 

 from Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and West Virginia. The demand is mostly for 

 No. 1 poplar columns for exterior work. Mr. Booth states that his concern 

 is well fixed for desirable materials as the entire year's stock has been 

 purchased and is being delivered as needed. The factory is running at full 

 time and capacity. 



The Keasey Pully Company rejwrts a good line of orders coming in from 

 general sources, holding the production at normal. 



Business with the Toledo Showcase Company has fallen oft some since 

 the first of May but is now showing signs of improvement. The concern 

 manufactures showcases and all sorts of store fixtures. The demand is 

 largely local. 



Sam Karpf, manager of the Stoddard Showcase and Fixture Company of 

 Dayton, Ohio, has gone East. He will visit Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, 

 Utica, Albany and New York City in the interest of his concern. Mr. 

 Karpf expects to stock up for the new pool and billiard department and 

 engage an expert to take care of the repair department of this branch of 

 the plant which will be located in its new home on East Fifth street about 

 the first of July. The concern has branched out considerably and this new 

 department will undoubtedly become an important feature of this factory. 



Toledo's building operations for the week show the remarkable gain of 

 $168,944 as compared with the corresponding week of a year ago. The 

 gain In dwellings alone amounts to $97,060. The total of permits taken out 

 during the week was S;242,955 as compared with $74,011 of the same week 

 in 1913. 



Despite the misfortunes from the heavy floods of last season the Ohio 

 building and loan associations are in splendid condition according to the 

 state inspection bureau reports. There are 649 associations in the state 

 with- total assets of $224,037,997, an increase in assets over the last report 

 of $185,000,000. The net deficiency found by Inspectors during the year 

 amounted to less than $-5,000 and three associations were closed during the 

 .vear on account of the rascality of officials. Two of these officials are now 

 serving penitentiary sentences. Dayton led in the number of associations 

 having 20 with combined assets of $30,032,239. Toledo's associations boast 

 1 total asset of $5,755,018. 



The Skinner Bending Company has a fair line of orders, although busi- 

 uess is not quite up to the standard set by last year. The demand is 

 largely from the carriage trades and comes from the central states just at 

 liresent.
