LUMBER BUSINESS is
LARGE and IMPORTANT

Hattiesburg has long held place as
the leading lumber market of the
south, situated as it is in the center
of the long-leaf yellow pine country.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
primeval forest are within easy ac-
cess to this city, and hundreds of saw
mills are running regularly converting
this exceptional timber into lumber.
Practically every large lumber com
pany in the country has an office here
for the purchase of lumber, while The
J. J. Newman Lumber Company, one
of the largest concerns in the south,
with daily capacity of half million
feet, has headquarters and a large
modern mill here, and pays out in
wages and salaries close to three
quarters of a million dollars each
year, forming probably the most i'm
portant factor in the industrial vel
fare of the city. This company has
enough standing timber to run the
mill for thirty-fve years at its pres
ent capacity. The officers of the ].
]. Newman Lumber Company take
prominent part in the business, civic
and social affairs of the city and con-
tribute in no small part to its up
building and to its advantages as a
place to live.
The Southern Lumber & Ice Com
pany, the Firm Lumber, the McInnis
Lumber Company, The Bonhomie
Lumber Company, the Brookhaven
Lumber Company, all prosperous and
important establishments have their
mills either within the CITY limits or

 MT. Knox regrets that he is forced
 to retire from the furn :ture house, which has enjoyed such progress and success. For the past few years his

 believes that by travelling he can bet ter his physical condition. He will
 not take to the road immediately, however, but will remain in the fur n.ture house temporarily. Hunter Knox has not been actively connected With the Tomlinson and Knox Com
 pany for some months, but still re- tained a small interest in the concern up to the time Mr. Tomlinson took over his holdings yesterday.
