friends does not make him an egotist, and therefore it happens that 

 ho '''makes good" in every detail of the hunber business. His as- 

 sociate, Mr. Ford, shares his popularity. The Goodlander-Robertson 

 Lumber Company has a well appointed yard, always thoroughly 

 stocked, in South Memphis, and enjoys a trade confined only by the 

 limits of hardwood distribution. 



Gayoso Lumber Company 

 One of the largest hardwood jobbing houses in the country is the 

 Gayoso Lumber Company, also located in South Memphis. This 

 company carries a big and well assorted stock. It is catholic in its 

 handlings and deals in every variety of southern hardwoods. Of this 

 company A. B. Ransom of Nashville is president; W. A. Ransom, 

 secretary and manager, and C. F. Ransom, treasurer. The manager 

 and treasurer reside in Memphis and have full control of the exten- 

 sive business of the company-. 



Dooley-Stem Lumber Company 



A neighbor of the above company is the Dooley-Stern Lumber Com-

houses of Memphis. Of this company Col. W. R. Barksdale is presi-

 done by his trio of young and vigorous associates, Herbert L. Stern, 

 C. M. Kellogg and F. T. Dooley. This house is one of the compara- 

 tively new ones in Memphis, but is making a very successful record. 



Geo. C. Brown & Co.

 arrival among Memphis lumber jobbers, it is not new to the trade, 

 as Mr. Brown and his associates were long located at Nashville. 

 They thought that Memphis offered more opportunities for the ex- 

 pansion of business than the Capital City, and therefore last 

 spring made the move. They have established a well-appointed 

 yard at North Memphis. Of George G. Brown & Co. Mr. Brown 

 is jiresident and Gordon E. Randells is manager. 



The S. C. Major Lumber Company 

 One of the best known jobbing houses in Memphis is the 8. C.

 lumberman, S. C. Major, who is also president of the Lumbermen's
