of the L'Anguille Lumber Company, the 

 name having been taken from the beauti- 

 ful little river upon the banks of which 

 the mill was located. The founder of this 

 company was B. Miller, now president of 

 the Miller Lumber Company. Through his 

 efforts and the energetic assistance of 

 Max D. Miller, the present vice-president, 

 the concern has prospered. The original 

 mill installed for the company was an 

 eight-foot Hoffman wooden wheel band, 

 which was operated for several years with 

 rubber tires. This company was one of 

 the first to abandon the use of rubber- 

 tired wheels and conceived the idea of 

 shrinking steels tires on the wheels, which 

 was successfully done; during the last 

 three or four years the mill run it showed 

 an average cut of nearly 35,000 feet per 

 day. The original sawmill was burned in 

 February, 1908, and a new mill with con- 

 i;rete floors and a thoroughly modern 

 Filer & Stowell band mill equipment was 

 installed. The capital stock of the Miller 

 Lumber Company was increased in 1891 to 

 $100,000, and it now has a capital and 

 surplus of $186,000. The name of the 

 company was changed to the Miller Lum- 

 ber Company. February 1, 1909. The con- 

 cern prides itself on fair dealing and hold- 

 ing its customers, and as a matter of fact 

 it has patrons on its books who have been 

 buying lumber from it for the last twenty 

 years. In addition to several thousand 

 acres of stumpage which the company 

 owns outright, it draws its timber supplies 

 from 300 miles of the territory along the 

 St. Francis river. The company annually 

 cuts about twelve million feet of hard- 

 wood lumber. It operates a shook factory 

 to consume its low-grade stock, and thus 

 has nothing left to market but the high- 

 grade output. This company specializes in 

 red gum and plain and quarter-sawed oak. 



E. Sondheimer Company. 



One of the big lumber houses having 

 headquarters in the Tennessee Trust build- 

 ing is the E. Sondheimer Company. The 

 late E. Sondheimer of Chicago was the 

 founder of the concern, which carried on a 

 successful business in the Illiuois metropo- 

 lis for many years. A few years ago the 

 present heads of the company thought it 

 advisable to remove the headquarters 

 nearer the seat of operations, and chose 

 Memphis as the logical point. The com- 

 pany is a considerable owner of stumpage 

 in the South and maintains an extensive 

 distributing yard at Cairo, 111., and oper- 

 ates several sawmills in Arkansas. Missis- 

 sippi and Louisiana. Of this company Max 

 Sondheimer is president; Moses Katz, 

 vice-president; Morris Glauber, treasurer, 

 and Kudolph Sondheimer, secretary. C. C. 

 Dickinson is the sales manager of the 

 company. 



In lumber circles the E. Sondheimer 

 Company is generally regarded as being 

 the largest handler of hardwoods of the
