The lumber used in the construc-
tion of the new Fourth street bridge
was furnished by the John B. Yates
Lumber Company. Of Pennsboro. W.
Va, and owing 10 the short time spec
flied for delivery this company de-
serves special credit for the prompt
manner in which it fulfilled its con
tract. The order was for thirty car
loads of lumber ard every foot was
delivered on time and was found 10
be absolutely satisfactory in every
respect.
The John B. Yates Lumber Com

many other enterprises in this sect

and the Penn Window Glass Com
pany Of Pennsboro, a total OF $780,
900 feet Of lumber being furnished
for the three concerns.
John i. Yates is president and
general manager OF the concern
which bears his name and a short
sketch of his activities follow:
Mr.. Yates is native Of Virginia
but has been in this section Of the
country a number of years. Twelve
years ago he was made agent for the

" and decided 10 make that place II,
iutire home. Seeing greater posi-
bllities in the independent business
world than in following the railroad
service Mr.. Yates gave up his posi-
uon to join hands with the Collins
Lumber Company as traffic manager.
In this position and a similar position
with the Pennsboro Manufacturing
Company Mr.. Yates made fine rec
ord ana at the same time thoroughly
equipped himself for entering the
lumber business for himself when the
company discontinued business.
During the few years he has been
ensa sed in business independently
Mr.. Yates has made most credltable
record. He has established patron

throughout the entire country and is
now handling the entire output OF
three large mills.
In the immense output of these
three large mills Mr.. Yates is put in
position to meet any demand in the
way of lumber and while hard woods
are the principal products there is
variety which gives him distinct
advantage in the business.
The Offices of Mr.. Yates located
there has proved benefit to Penns-
boro as It has done much toward nut

business world.
soon after becoming agent for the
railroad company at Pennsboro. Mr..
Yates demonstrated his interest IN
that community. The inadeauatn
station facilities were both an In ius-
tice to the town and handicap to the
company in handling the business
there. Mr., Yates was soon at work
on the proposition and as a result of
his efforts there was constructed d
freight house on the opposite of the
tracks from the passenger atation,
and the original building arranged
so az to give the patrons of the road
ample and very satisfactory accom-
modations at the passenger station.
While this handsome Improvement
stands as n monument to his efforts
in behalf of Pennsboro it is but one
of the many benefits he has brought
to that community.
