to grow rapidly, reaching out and
covering a territory for the sale Oh its
goods extending from the eastern to
the western states, and now enjoys 10
per cent. of the wholesale trade in bas-

FACTS AND FIGURES
show that 1000, 900 feet of logs are
annually consumed; $1,000 dozen,
comprising 1902, 1872 baskets are man.
ufactured yearly, making $40 carloads
which would make a train four miles
long, and if these baskets were placed
side by side in one continuous row
they would cover a distance Of 376
miles. The weight of all these has,
kets would be 1925, 800 pounds, and
the freight charges from this point to
New York city would be sl9, 900.
The Briggs oak staye grain basket
is made a leader, and 16, 900 dozens of
these make of baskets are manufac-
tured yearly, and 1000 dozens COM
mon stave narrow band baskets, cheap

made.
THE TIMBER USED
IN the manufacture of the baskets is
oak, elm, beach, maple, sycamore,
Eastwood, poplar, gum, hack
berry, cottonwood, and white and
black ash. Practically every kind of
wood grown IN this or adjoining coun-
ties is used in the manufacture of the
goods. Besides the large number of
logs hauled In by teams from through
this county, over 100 car loads are
shipped here by rail, yearly, from 9th
er parts Of the state.
Fifty thousand dollars of the ex-
penses of this enterprise goes to this
city and county, and this company are
always ready to pay the highest mar
ket price for timber, which shows con-
clusively the benefits to this commu-
nifty derived by its location here. Sew
