OF Statewide interest is the deal
involving several million dollars
which has been consummated in the
/ purchase by syndicate of New York
bankers of the two veneer and box
wood mills of the Allen Quimby COM
pany located at Stockholm, Maine,
the mill of the Standard Seating
Company at Stockholm, the mill of
the Veneer Products Company of
Greenville, Me-, and the three mills
Of the Nelson & Hall Company, To-
Gated at Richford, Montgomery Cen
ter and Morrisville, Vermont.
The name Of the new corporation
will be in the Atlas Plywood Cor
poration of Boston, and it will be the
largest plywood and veneer manu-
featuring company in this country.
The purchase price in the deal was
not announced, but 1t is understood
that it involves several million dol
lars.
The position Of treasurer and gen.
eral manager of the Allen Quimby
Company has been held by Allen
Quimby of Portland, formerly of Au-
gusta, and it is OF interest to learn
that Mr.. Quimby will be actively en-
gagged with the new concern as a
member of the board of seven dir
ectors and having charge of the
numbering operations for the Stock
holm mills.
Lewis A. Burleigh of Augusta has
held the office of president of the
Allen Quimby Company and of the
Standard Seating Company, while
Donald Q. Burleigh of Stockholm,
formerly of Augusta, has been treas
urer and general manager of the
CoponanV Mr.
Donald @. Burleigh will complete his
duties at Stockholm this summer.
The town of Stockholm in Aroos-
took county was developed by the
big lumber mills owned by Charles
A. Milliken and Melvin p. Milliken
Of Augusta, and Ex-Governor Carl E.
Milliken of Portland, and the veneer
and lockwood mills of the Allen Quinn
by Company. When Mr.. Quimby first
went to Stockholm to plan for the
opening of his mills in 1902, there
was practically no settlement and
there was only flag station at the
stopping place of the trains OF the
Bangor & Aroostook railroad. With
a thriving veneer and lumber busl-
ness, the town now has population
of 1000 and boasts of good schools,
including high school, several
stores and churches.
The town of Stockholm grew and
the Allen Quimby Cmpany grew, the
latter developing the Stockholm in
dustry of three-ply veneer boxes,
long lumber, clothes pins, and veneer
seats.
Mr.. Quimby has host Of friends
in Augusta, where he formerly re-
sided and was for several years sub
master of Cony High school. Mr..
Quimby was graduated from Bow
doin College in 1895 and while teach
ing at Cony High school carried on
the study of law, being admitted to
the Maine Bar in 1900. He was sub
master of Cony High school during
a portion of the time that Charles Z.
Cook, now of Concord, Mass, served
as principal.
After leaving Augusta, Mr.. Quimby
devoted years to the study of the
veneer and lockwood business. and
with this knowledge thus obtained
together with his keen business
ability is considered today one of the
foremost men of the country in that
industry.

Through the Static

Last night was rough at both ends and fair in between. That is, there was considerable static during the dinner hour which gradually cleared up, letting the stations come in al- most unmolested. Later in the even ing, al about II o'clock, it started to get rough again. There was plenty of volume on nearly all stations, but we were somewhat faIigucd, from what, We don't know, and we didn't do Il great deal of listening, our aC- tiVities during the evening being confined to turning the switch now and then and listening to one or two numbers.
