country. The company's output amounts 

 to about forty million feet annually, with 

 a large amount of graded hard maple floor- 

 ing, a good proportion of which is being 

 supplied to the metropolitan market. With- 

 in a few weeks the company's new floor- 

 ing mill at Galeton, Pa., which is equipped 

 with the latest and best machinery, and 

 dry kilns of modern type, will be in opera- 

 lion. The extensive plants at Keating 

 Summit and Austin, Pa., also include dry 

 kilns and planing mills. The three large 

 band mills at Keating Summit, Austin and 

 Galeton, Pa., liave been running twenty- 

 two hours a day for a number of years, and 

 uo small part of the company's product is 

 shipped to New York City and its environs. 

 The Emporium Lumber Company usually 

 carries about twenty-five million feet of 

 graded hardwoods in stock at its mills in 

 Pennsylvania; but with the constantly in- 

 creasing demand for its lumber, this amount 

 of stock is none too large to draw upon. 

 The company also manufacturers several 

 million feet of choice white pine annually. 

 It will be able to produce hardwoods on a 

 large scale for many years to come, since . , 

 its present holdings amount to nearly a 

 quarter of a million acres of timber land, 

 which contain many million feet of the 

 finest domestic hardwoods still uncut. These 

 holdings include large tracts in Pennsyl- 

 vania, New Y'ork, Vermont and North Caro- 

 lina. The officers of the company are W. 

 L. Sykes, president; W. S. Walker, vice- 

 president; W. T. Turner, secretary and 

 treasurer; Wm. Caflisch, general superin- 

 tendent. The identification of W. Everitt 

 Van Wert, the New York City manager, 

 with the Emporium Lumber Company, dates 

 back to within a few years of the begin- 

 ning of the company's corporate existence, 

 in 1892. During the three years in which 

 he has had charge of the metropolitan of- 

 fice of the company, the business in his 

 territory has increased about 100,. per cent 

 annually.
