LOG ItAKT. INDIANA LUMBEIi COMTAXY. 



SAWMILL, INDIANA LUMBER COMPANY. 



placed the old circular mill and a large 

 planing mill has been added. Today the. 

 plant covers a large area, where a stock of 

 approximately 4,000,000 feet of hardwood 

 lumber is carried at all times. 



The Indiana Lumber Company does an 

 •extensive wholesale business. It owns valu- 

 able timber lands in Tennessee and also 

 contracts for large cuts. The logs are 

 floated down the Cumberland and stored 

 at a point about three miles above the city 

 and then floated down to the mill as re- 

 quired. F. M. Hamilton is president of the 

 -company and A. L. Read is secretary and 

 -treasurer. 



Lieberman, Loveman & O'Brien. 



By standing on Reservoir Hill and loolc- 

 ing down into the valley below a panoramic 

 view of the great Lieberman, Loveman & 

 'Brien plant may be had, but a closer 

 and more detailed study of this great hard- 

 wood operation is necessary to appreciate 

 its enormity. The concern considers its 

 stock meager indeed if it falls below 20,- 

 000,000 feet. In fact, it is usually kept up 

 to 25,000,000 feet. At its Nashville plant 

 three modern band mills and two circular 

 mills, besides a planing mill and dry kiln, 

 are in commission. Several circular mills 

 are operated on the concern's holdings in 

 the woods. The firm also operates a large 



box factory anil cuts considerable dimen- 

 sion stock. 



The present organization was effected in 

 1878 by S. Lieberman, A. Loveman and J. H. 

 O'Brien. Prior to that time it was known 



W. H. CLEAVES, 

 as Lieberman & Goldberg. The concern is 

 today as progresive and alive as any in 

 the city in spite of the fact that it is one 

 of the wealthiest: in fact, has almost 



reached the pinnacle of success. Its plant 

 is the largest in Nashville. 



George C. Brown & Co. 



Four mouths ago the general otSces of 

 George C. Brown & Co. were removed from 

 McMinnville, Tenn., to Nashville. The mill- 

 ing operations are still conducted at Mc- 

 Minnville. The dominant figure in the con- 

 cern is L. E. Brown, son of the founder, 

 George C, who has retired from active par- 

 ticipation in the conduct of the business. 

 The institution was organized about six 

 years ago. It controls the output of sev- 

 eral mills in Tennessee, and just now has 

 also under contract a large cutting in 

 Louisiana, and another in Alabama. George 

 r. Brown & Co. deal in all kinds of hard- 

 woods, principally red cedar, poplar, oak, 

 ash, chestnut and walnut. Those who com- 

 pose the concern are George C. Brown, D. D. 

 Drake, Butler Brown and L. E. Brown. 



McLean Lumber Company. 



The lumber interests of I. F. McLean, 

 president of this company, are very exten- 

 sive. Three separate and distinct branches, 

 each a great institution in itself, are con- 

 trolled by him and his associates — the Mc- 

 Lean Manufacturing Company, manufactur- 

 ing tight barrel circular heading; I. F. Mc- 

 Lean, manufacturing staves of all kinds, and
