The Lumber Trade Journal of New
Orleans in last weeks issue comments
quite extensively on the establishment
of the headquarters of the Sheriff.
Hardwood Lumber Company in New
Orleans, with c. H. Sheriff., presi-
dent in charge. In the article the
Lumber Journal says:
''The Sheriff. Hardwood Lumber
Company, one of the largest hard
wood manufacturing concerns in the
south, will move its general head
quarters to New Orleans on March
10, having rented the 80 suite of
rooms in the Whitney Central bank
building. President C. H. Sheriff.
is also arranging to move his family
to New Orleans and will make this
city his home as long as he--is an
active factor in the hardwood lum-
Der industry. H. v. Sheriff., secre-
tary and general manager, also ex-
poets to make New Orleans his home.
A cordial invitation i1 extended
to all hardwood men visiting New
Orleans to make this office head
quarters during their stay. The
clerical department in connection
with the manufacturing operations
will be continued at Merryville, and
A.. S. Sheriff., vice president and
treasurer, will continue making that
place his home as long as he is in
charge Of the active operations.
President c. H. Sheriff. was in
New-Orleans last week for the pur-
pose of closing deal for the rental
Of offices. He finls that residing
at Paducah, KY, makes the constant
visits to the operations at Merry
vile and Paducah too lone trip
and taking up too much time. How
ever, the removal to New Orleans
of Mr. Sheriff. will have no bearing
on the Paducah business, as the lat
ter will be continued in that city.
The making of New Orleans head
quarters by the Sheriff. Hardwood
Lumber Company is about the most
important announcement that has
been made in the hardwood business
in New Orleans for the past year
or more, as this is one of the largest
and most important manufacturing /
concerns in the South. The company
has O sales office in Chicago that is
in charge of G.. K. Gould, the office
being at 76 West Monroe street. An
office is also maintained at st. Louis,
it being in charge of H. N. Saylor, Jr
H. v. Sheriff., secretary and gen.
eral manager, has just returned to
Merryville from California, where
he has spent several months for the
benefit of his health. He is said to
be feeling much better, but it will
be some time before he is able to
take that active interest in the bust
ness that was his in the old days.
AS an evidence that the removal OF
G. H. Sheriff. to New Orleans will
be of value to the Sherrill-Russell
Lumber Company at Paducah. al
though not affecting the Paducah Of
fees in any way, Luke Russell, vice
president of the Sheriff. Russell Lum-
