supplied promptly at lowest prices.
The timber is received in the log,
the years supply being floated down
the Ohio, Tennessee and Cumber-
land rivers in the early spring
months and some Of these log fleets
would cover an area of several
acres. They enjoy the advantage or
unsurpassed shipping facilities, by
