In Detail 



It is liardly prac-tic-able iu an article of tliis nature to refer 

 .specifically to every Memphis institution that should have mention,

 and it Ls also a large manufacturer of boxes and veneers. Of 

 this company S. B. Anderson is president; C. J. Tully, vice-president 

 anfl general superintendent ; W. B. Morgan, treasurer, and F. B.

 idea of the big jdant of the Andersou-Tully Company, are shown in

 and in addition to its sawmill at Memphis has another large mill at
