Pensacola Made Headquarters
for Big Hardwood Corporation
Mahogany, Walnut and
Cedar Will Be
Imported From
Mexico.

Establishment of concern to
carry large stocks of Mexican
hardwoods in Pensacola for dis
tribution among the furniture
and other manufacturers of the
country, became known last
night. Business negotiations
have been underway for the past
two months but it was not until
last night that definite announce
ment was made by w. w. Trigg,
OF Mexico, that Pensacola had
been selected as the port of
operation.
The new concern is known as the
Quintana Roo Hardwood Timber corpor-
alton, OF which Mr.. Trigg is vice presi
dent and general manager In an ad
dress at the general membership meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce last
night, he stated that he would live and
make his home in Pcnsa cola but would
make occasional visits to Mexico.
Headquarters Here.
Mahogany, walnut and cedar will be
the principal hardwoods imported to
Pensacola by the new company. The
Mexican operations are conducted under
the Interoceanic corporation, which owns
$4,000 acres of hardwood lands in
southern Mexico, but Mr.. Trigg stated
in an interview after the Chamber of
Commerce meeting last night that this
would only be a subsidiary and the ouin-
tana Roo Hardwood corporation, with
headquarters in Pensacola. would be. the
principal operating concern.
Offices will be maintained on the
eighth floor of the American National
Bank building, and the stock yards ar
the Pensacola Shipbuilding company site
The docks there will also be used for
loading and unloading of the Mexican
hardwoods.
Three new lumber camps will be
opened in south Mexico Immediately. Mr..
Trigg said. The first shipment of hard
wood will arrive here in two or three
weeks but this will be more or less a
IS Tnpte cargo, ne Sdlu mere Will De no
heavy shipments before the first Of the
year, he stated.
To Supply Foreign Demand.
The stocks will be stored in Pensacola,
much on the plan of other large lumber
dealing in pine, and will be
supplied to the manufacturers as needed.
And manufacturers in foreign countries
will also be supplied where there is a
demand, Mr. Trigg explained.
No mills he made 1t clear. will be
operated in Pensacola by the new con-
cern.
Mr. Trigg came to. Pensacola about
two months ago TO look over the posi- !
bilities here for the contemplated estab- {,
lishment of headquarters in the United
States. And it was through the Cham !
her of Commerce that Pensacola's in |
ducements for such a business were out
lined. and which finally resulted in Pen
