 B. A. Kipp & Co., at No. 818 West Sixth 

 street. B. A. Kipp, its smiling proprietor, 

 is certainly one of the most popular hard- 

 wood lumbermen in the city. His yard is 

 filled with high-class hardwoods for furni- 

 ture and wagon manufacturers. He is fa- 

 miliarly known as "Honest Ben Kipp," and 

 it is an actual fact that lumber delivered 

 by Ben Kipp to any of the local consumers 

 is never looked over, but unloaded and, if 

 dry, is put right into the kiln. His grading 

 and measurements are never disputed, but 

 on the other hand, like a shrewd Scotchman, 

 which he is not, he always exacts his due. 



The Ohio Scroll and Lumber Company 



Across the Ohio river from Cincinnati is 

 the plant of the Ohio Scroll and Lumber
