WALNUT sTUMPs
Have Become Valuable Prop
ertyTUsed for FurnI-
tupa.

Old walnut stumps are on boom
throughout Ohio, Indiana and Penn
sylvania. Stumps that have remained
unnoticed for. years and were regard
ed as worthless are now eagerly
sought after at prices that seem al
most fabulous. An Indiana concern
has men travelling over the country
buying every walnut stump that can
be found.
At first the prices paid were small,
but as the eye of the stick timber
folks began to open the price went
higher and higher, until now it's out
of sight, and the funny part about 1t
is that the uglier, knottier and more
unslghtly the stump the more money
1t will bring. The stump of walnut
tree that was cut down several years
ago brought more than the whole of
the tree. 1t is stated that the stumps
are made into veneeriBg material and
used in the manufacture Of high grade
furniture.

OF the store was a room for making
