The business of shipping dressed
lumber from Saginaw has become ex-
ceedingly large, and is growing. The
system of dressing the lumber for
shipment, instead of shipping it in the
rough state it leaves the saws, is a
beneficial one to Saginaw, as it gives
more employment to the people there,
and thus increases the business of that
city. This industry has just com
menced at this city. One car was
shipped short time ago, and a Sec
ond one was shipped this week. 1t
goes to Groversville, N. Y. Two
more cars of the dressed lumber will
be shipped to New York this week.
There is money in the business, and
the trade in dressed lumber from this
city is likely to be large one.
