The Farrin-Koru Lumber Company. 



The sjiacious plant of tlio i-'arriu-Koru 

 Lumber ','ompany, with its convenience and 

 excellent facilities for handling lumber, is 

 well-nigh perfect. The company prides it- 

 self on its model plant and neat, well-kept 

 yard, which is said to be the largest city 

 yard in the United States. The office build- 

 ing is a model structure of pressed brick, 

 and the various depaitmeuts are especially 

 arranged with regard to their peculiar needs. 

 Every contrivance, both steam and electri- 

 cally driven, that will facilitate the work, 

 has been added. Trained specialists are em- 

 ployed in every department, and although 

 the office force is like one large happy fam- 

 ily, the strictest order and system is uuiiu- 

 tained. 



Some idea of the magnitude of the busi- 

 ness may be gained by the knowledge that

in the neighborhood of thirty cars of lum- 

 ber a day are handled in and out of tliis 

 plant. The company operates one of the 

 most modern and best equipped planing and 



woodworking plants in the country. Its spe- 

 cialties are cypress, red gum and oak. Va- 

 rious agencies are maintained throughout the 

 South and the buyers and inspectors from 

 these agencies are constantly touring the 

 timber sections of the countr}'. Salesmen 

 cover the trade east of the Mississippi and 

 niii-th of the Ohio rivers, including the east- 

 iTu and Xew England states. The policy is 

 to cover the field thoroughly, keep well 

 ])osted, and so far as possible establish de- 

 sirable connections of a permanent nature 

 at both the buying and selling ends of the 

 line. A branch purchasing office is located 

 in the Kandolph building, Memphis. 



Speaking for his company recently, Ches- 

 ter P. Korn, secretary and treasurer, said: 

 "Our location is admirablj' adapted to re- 

 ceiving, storing and reshipping lumber con- 

 signed to us by southern mills. From some 

 localities lumber can only be shipped at cer- 

 tain seasons, owing to weather conditions, 

 bad roads, suspended navigation, ear fam- 

 ine, etc., therefore rendering it advisable to 

 forward to some central distributing point 

 from wlience orders may be promptly exe- 

 cuted any day in the year. Lumber for 

 <piick delivery sells at a premium, and when 

 lumber is here on consignment it is always 

 subject to shipper's instructions in case an 

 order is obtained that will fit the stock be- 

 fore we find a customer. We prefer that the 

 consignors place a price limit on their 

 stock, but in the absence of this we will dis- 

 pose of same to the best advantage, imme- 

 diately remitting proceeds, less our broker- 

 age, which is uniformly five per cent selling 

 commission on delivered cost of the lumber, 

 and two per cent for cash on amount re- 

 maining due after deducting freight, han- 

 dling charges, etc. We jjay the freight, de- 

 ducting same from proceeds, and by special 

 arrangement we also make liberal cash ad- 

 vances on consignment, charging at the rate 

 of eight per cent interest. Upon receipt of 

 telegram followed by full particulars by 

 mail, accompanied by bill of lading, we will 

 take care of any shipment in dispute wher- 

 ever located, and adjust or re-sell to the best 

 advantage. In case of necessity we will pro- 

 cure the services of licensed inspectors. We 

 make a specialty of milling in transit for 

 out-of-town concerns which desire to stop 

 off cars at our place to be re-manufactured. 

 We want our customers to feel that all our 

 lai-ilitics, yards, mills, machinery, organiza- 

 tion, money, experience and brains are at 

 llieir service. 



John Dulweber & Co. 



'I'lic fii'TU of .lohn Dulweber & Co. succeed- 

 ed in ISSo the firm of Bungener & Co. The 

 late .John Dulwel;(n- was interested in the 

 liiiu of Bungener & Co., which dates back 

 til the sixties. After the death of B. Bun- 

 gener, the business was continued by .lohn 

 Dulweber under the title of John Dulweber 

 & Co. until 1897, when his son, B. F. Dul- 

 weber, took up the active management. The 

 business is still conducted under the style 

 of .John Dulweber & Co., although B. F. Dul-

 It has weathered the storms and famines, 

 au<l has reaped a harvest. It has seen thou- 

 sands' come and go, some falling by the way- 

 side, others retiiing from choice, but it is 

 still in the field and promises to remain. In 

 a financial way it has been successful. Be- 

 ing very conservative, its success has not 

 been spectacular, l.ut has been sure, gaining 

 steadily year by year.

 iety of hardwoods, giving particular atten- 

 tion to oak, pojilar. chestnut and walnut.
