interests, and he continues to operate
both companies with marked success,
due, chiefly to his knowledge of the
business and his universally courteous
and honorable treatment of the trade.
Mr.. Koch was united in marriage
with Miss Ida May Flesher of Anna,
o., in April. 1898, and with their
daughter, they occupy coy
cottage on Front street and expect to
build new home in the Spring.
Mr.. Koch is President of the Board
of Education and a member of the
Board of Public Service and gives
careful attention to the duties of these
offices. He is truly worthy place in
this honorable list.
In the Water works campaign he
was President of the Improvement as
sociation, and was the recognized
leader in the work, which resulted so
successfully at the election. At all
times he is in the front rank when pro-
gress and improvement is being con-
sidered.

should we expect to see the oaks both
red and white, plain and quarter sawn,
and birch, beech, chestnut and butter
nut--even yet we see an occasional
bit of black walnut. All these q deal
er is supposed to keep in stock, and
many dealers have even larger list
for they have cottonwood from Mis-
souri, and maple from Michigan, bass
wood from the Northern peninsula.
So the list keeps ever growing, and
not content with this list of woods for
building materials, one must add other
lines of goods until the present day
complete lumber yard seems almost
u modern department store IN its vari-
ETY., and to master itall requires ability
of high order, intelligence and a con
slant alertness and attention to busi-
ness which alone can pave the way to
success
OF course tile physical constitution
must be present in the shape ofample
capital and resources: for this modern
lumber yard is an expensive business
TO handle, as it requires men of ability
to help in the various departments.
Some idea of the value which the
firm Chas. l.. Koch 4 Co. is to this
community, may be gained from the
fact that the expense account, largely
for salaries, is more than $4,000 annu-
ally
Their relation to the building opera
ton may be somewhat appreciated,
when one knows that the first purchase
would be cement for the foundation,
and the next sewer and drain tile for the
drainage, and so on consecutively for
the framing and outside tinishings.
The lime and brick for the chimneys;
the lath, hard plasters and stucco for
the walls; the flooring and inside fin
ishing of all variety from the attic
to cellar, from the little clock shelf or
common door to the built-in cupboards
and china closets. Not content with
furnishing the glass of all kinds, this
firm must needs sell the coal of all
kinds, to keep the house warm after
completion.
Chas. L. Koch was born in Toledo
Feb %, 1896 He graduated from To-
ledo High School in 50 shortly after
which he commenced his education in
the lumber business IN the yards of
Oscoda Lumber Co.. of Toledo, where
he had the real thing" about lumber
thoroughly impressed him. lie later
went into the Office and then on the
road and thus has learned the lumber
business in all its branches.
In 1890 he commenced business in
Anna, o., and seven years later he
went to Urbana in the firm of Hub
bell & Koch, closing out his interest
a year later when he went to Salem,
o., as manager for d. A. Wilhelm. In
April, 1899, he purchased the Matzinger
Co. of this place and three years after
added the Maumee Lumber Co. to his
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1905-12-15
cHMTLNuED.

Time was when the retail Lumber
dealer who had an assortment of
white pine from Michigan, had com
plete stock but the present day dealer
finds white pine but small portion of
his stock in trade.
He has added the once despised hem
lock from Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn
sylvania and Norway from the north
Then came white cedar from Michigan
and Wisconsin, and perhaps the poles
from which are suspended your tele-
phone wires may have reared their
heads from some Idaho swamp. But
the beautiful and valuable native woods
were being cut out, and we looked
about for substitutes, and soon the
mountains of Kentucky, the Vlrginias
and Tennessee were giving up their
magnificent poplars, and still farther
southwe found the p enteous supply of
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1905-12-15

short leaf yellow pine in Arkansas,
Northern Texas and in the Ozark
mountains of Missouri. Soon the long
leaf yellow pine from Louisiana, Ala
bama and Florida found the trade ar
teries and flowed northward. Not con-
tent we continually add new woods to
the trade until we have red cedar from
Washington, sugar pine from Northern
California, sequoia or redwood from
middle California, pine from Idaho
and Arizona, red gum from the Mlssis-
sippi valley and tupelo gum from Mo
bile bay region, expresses from the
swamps of the south, fir from Oregon,
spruce from both far away Washing
ton as we'll as our northern neighbors.
In the above list is not included any
of the finer hardwoods, either native
or foreign, yet these are in common
use, and especially in the finer houses
