c. ". KRAMER COMP ANY
LEADING LUMBER CONCERN

Like business enterprises of every
kind the lumber trade has undergone
changes in the past decade that al
most amounts to a revolution, and
the history of a Richmond lumber
concern, the c. & w. Kramer Co.
which stands at the head in the lum-
Der business of Richmond and East
ern Indiana, indicates clearly that
the knowledge gained in the earlier
days of the trade has been a decided
element in the success that modern
methods have brought. The c. & w.
Kramer Company enjoys wholesale
trade in hardwood lumber that prac-
tically is limitlesS in the territory
covered, though the shipments to the
Eastern states in carload lots and to
the territory In the Middle West,
probably leads. Conrad and William
Kramer, the senior members of the
firm have grown up in the lumber
business, beginning their careers
soon after coming to this country
from Germany, the land of their ma
tivity. Upshur, o., was the scene of
their original holdings, saw mill be-
ing installed there. Modest in its be-
ginning, the business of these broth
ers began to grow and the firm was
not long in making itself felt in the
Hardwood lumber trade of the Cen
trail States. The transfer of their in
terests to Richmond some years ago
was the initial step in the broadening
out of their business and in 1893, two
sons of the original founders became
identified with the business. These
younger lumber experts are Horace
NJ and Clarence H. Kramer. The COM
pany deals in Hardwood lumber in the
rough, such as walnut, cherry, plain
and quartered oak, ash, poplar and
sycamore. Realizing the general
trade conditions which made the
sources of supply limited, the c. &
w. Kramer Company invaded the
South some time ago and operates
band saw mill in Arkansas. The con-
Germ stands high in this community
and in the business field away from
home its reputation is of the sort
that places it in the top row of lun-
Der wholesalers of the country.

Work In Little Time.
The rapidity Of the ancient writers is
seen from the great number Of works
prepared by them. Livy, for instance,
wrote 142 books Among the Romans,
Cicero often wrote three or four i'm
portant works in single year. Oflater
writer's, Dr. Johnson. Scott and Byron
were all rapid writer's. Byron. it is
related, wrote 'The Corsair'' in ten
days, while Scott wrote work for
which he was paid f1,OOO in ten days.
"Rab and His Friends" by DR.. John
Brown, was written, It is said, at a
single sitting.
The story is told that Dean Shipley

ing the hymn known all around the
world, "From Greenland's Icy Noun
talns," was written, printed and used
in that days missionary service.
Chalmers was once asked how long Il
took to prepare a sermon. He replied:
eThat depends on how long you
want it. II your sermon is to be half
0n hour long, it will take you three
days; IL it is to be three-quarters of an
hour, it will take two or perhaps one,
but il you are going to preach an hour,
then there is not much occasion to
think great deal about 1t. 1t may be
done in an hour"
Samuel Johnson would write at a
single sitting the manuscript for forty
eight printed octave pages. In one
week he wrote "Rasselas" to pay for
his mothers funeral, sent it off to the
publishers without reading it over and
was paid f1OO for it.

Rules and Directions For Servants
That He Wrote.
There was a servant problem when
Dean Swift was alive just as there is
today, and he died In 1145. In his
"Rules and Directions For Servants
he wrote: when you have broken all
your earthen vessels below stairs,
which is usually done in a week, the
copper pot will do as well. 1t can
boil milk, heat porridgc hold small
beer. Apply 1t indifferently to all these
uses, but never wash or scOur it." And
again: "If you want paper to SINCE a
fowl, tear the first book you see about
the house, Wipe your shoes, for want
Of clout, on the bottom of a curtain
or a damask napkin" "In roasting
and boiling" he goes on, "use none but
the large Goals and save the small ones
for the fires above stairs" Another
touch that might have been written to-
day is the following: "When a butler
cleans the plate leave the whiting
plainly to be seen in all the chinks, for
fear your lady should not believe you
had cleaned it." Once more: "There
are several ways Of putting out a
candle. You may run the candle end
against the wainscot, which puts the
Bnufr out Immediately; you may lay it
on the ground and tread the snuff out
with your foot; you may hold it up
side down until it is clicked in its
own grease or cram it into the socket
Of the candlestick; you may whirl it
round in your hand till it goes out"
