The Asher Lumber Company 



Owing to the fact that the railroads com-

 enter the city on the West Side, a large 

 number of lumbermen have established 

 yards along the lines of the railroads in 

 order to have switching facilities into their

 Asher Lumber Company, which has the dis- 

 tinction of being the most recently incor- 

 porated concern in Cincinnati, is first en- 

 countered. The concern succeeds the Mid-

 the following officers: L M. Asher, presi-

 of the Southern tracks brings one to the
