 very plentiful.

 demand for all hardwoods at this time of the year. 



=■< TOLEDO >= 



The European war. It Is said, will be directly responsible for Toledo 

 becoming the home of an important new factory. This information was 

 received a few days ago by Jl. B. Crane of the National Bank of Com- 

 merce, from the American distributors of Faber pencils. The Faber 

 pencils arc made In Germany but owing to the European war, It is an- 

 nounced that the American distributors have decided to build their OWD 

 plant and have selected Toledo as the home of the new factory because of 

 the city's pro.\lmlty to the cedar timber used In the manufacture of 

 pc:icils. It is stated that a plant to cost $200,000 and to employ more 

 than 200 people will be erected. Heretofore It has been impossible to 

 compete with cheap foreign labor but the American distributors believe 

 that the war will remove this cheap labor from the foreign market and 

 enable American manufacturers to enter the competition.

 its sawing done by custom mills when the war broke out. It, however,

 had not decided upon the course in connection with the new mill. There
