of tlie largest and most up to date in the country. In structure and 

 machinery equipment it is a model. The ' ' Chickasaw ' ' brand of 

 oak flooring manufactured by this house has a reputation for first 

 quality among the majority of the architects of the land. 



Anotlier well known industry is the Memphis Column Company, 

 jnoducers of porch columns from tupelo gum. This company has 

 succeeded in handling this wood, in spite of its refractory character, 

 in sucli a way that its tendency to twist and split has been entirely 

 overcome. The columns of this company are selling alongside the 

 best poplar porch columns. A. W. Gould is manager of this com- 

 jiany. The Memphis Column Company's factory is located at North 

 Mriii|iliis on thi> line of the Illinois Ccntrnl Kailroad. 



Memphis Hotels 



A review of Memphis would nut be complete without a specific 

 reference to its splendid hotel accommodations. The city has two 

 large hotels, modern in every respect and conducted on thoroughly 

 metropolitan lines in cuisine and general management. They are 

 the (inyosn and the Peabody hotels, both located in the heart of the 



Memphis business district and only two .'•quares apart. 



These two hotels are the stopping places of practically every lum- 

 bernmn visiting Memphis and are veritable club houses for the lum- 

 ber fraternity. Mine Host Parker, in the management of both these 

 houses, has become a great favorite among lumbermen, and his per- 

 sonal popularity is only exceeded by the favor in which his two 

 houses are lield. The Gayoso Hotel is headquarters for all lumber, 

 cooperage and handle conventions held at Memphis, and they are 

 numerous. The hotel has a spacious auditorium and many club rooms, 

 making it particularly well adapted for convention purposes.
