ENTERPRISE SHOWN IN LUMBER TRADE Richmond Company Houses Entire Timber Supply Under Roof.

Vacant lota, covered with a rank growth of weeds in early spring, and three months later a thoroughly equipped modern enterprise this ia a sample of modern American business undertakings. When Peter Kunte, the Dayton lumber king, decided last May that Richmond needed another lumber yard and set about perfecting plans to enter the retail field, the northwest corner of North West Second and Chestnut streets was a stretch of unoccupied Crcund. Today it is the site of a modern lumbar yard. Many lumber houses are old buildings remodeled to make them suitable for lumber storage. The building erected by the Richmond Lumber company was built expressly for the lumber business. Every stick of lumber is accessible without moving other pieces. Time Brings Changes. In the old days, according to Thomas Tarkleson, manager of the company, a man desiring to enter the business, piled lumber in an old shed and kept his books on the end of a barrel. The office of the new company will compare favorably with the private office of a bank president. Under the old methods much of the lumber stock was kept indoors and the remainder exposed to the ravages of weather. All the stock of the Richmond Lumber company is under shelter so that it will not deteriorate. The location of the building, according to the manager, appeals to farmers who have teams that shy at railroad trains. A wagon can drive into the building, load up and drive away, without the team being in sight of an engine. Company's Officers. The company is capitalized at $10,000 and is managed by Thomas Tarkleson, who for the last eight years has been in charge of the lumber yard owned by Peter Kuntz at Greensfork. Following are the officers of the corporation: Peter Kuntz, president; Peter Kuntz, Jr., vice president; John A. Payne, secretary, and Thos. Tarkleson, treasurer. The Richmond Lumber company is one of sixty in Indiana and Ohio, owned or controlled by Peter Kuntz. Its stock is brought directly from the company's mills located in different parts of the country. The building, which houses a complete stock of building lumber, is 80 feet vide and 168 feet long, with a shop addition 30x60. The company carries a complete line of building lumber, glass, roofing, sashes and other products.

ascertaining exactly the amount of meat prepared for consumption at the local plant3. Vegetarians may find some encouragement from the fact that all told only 1909 calves were kf!led here in one year. Big Outside Shipments. It must also be born in mind that the total number of animals slaughtered here annually includes the large shipments of meat which Stolle ships outside the state to his customers. Butchers who kill their own supply usually use the City Slaughtering plant, and this number is included in the total list of animals slaughtered. The inspection of meat at the Stolle plant is under Federal supervision. Dr. C. O. Wagner being the officer in charge The inspection at the City Slaughtering plant is under municipal supervision. Shipments Small. Strange as it may seem, the number of animals shipped into Richmond is exceedingly small. The number when contrasted with the number of Wayne county animals slaughtered is scarcely taken into consideration by the local packers. On the other hand large numbers of animals are shipped out of Richmond to the Pittsburg and Indianapolis stock yards. The capacity of the City Slaughtering plant is intended solely for the local butchers who do their killing there. Stolle and Sons' plant has a capacity of a hundred hogs a day and thirty to forty head of cattle. Slaughtering Process. The process of slaughtering a hog is appended: After a hog is bought, it is weighed, and then yarded for some time and while in the yards an ante mortem inspection is made. Then it is shackled

to a hoist, lifted direct from the yarding pen to the sticking rail where the hog is bled. From there it is dropped into a scalding vat and run through a scraping machine where all the hair is removed. Any short hairs are scraped off by hand. The hog is then suspended from a rail where it is viscerated and all viscera and the carcass put to a post mortem inspection. The diseased parts, if there are any. are separated from the good. Then the hog is run into a cooler along an overhead rail where it hangs forty-eight hours, when it is cut into commercial cuts, such as hams, bacons, loins, trimmings and fats. The fats are rendered into lard! the trimmings are made into sausage and the loins are sold fresh, known familiarly as pork chops. The bacon and hams are placed In cure from thirty to ninety days, larger hams requiring longer time. After the

cure they are washed and smoked

when they are ready for the re-inspec- j tion. and any hams or bacon sour or; tainted, or in any way contaminated, j

is condemned. The goods are then wrapped and are ready for the market.

Local Packing Plants Provide Meat Supply

Although Richmond Is in close proximity to Chicago, the biggest meat packing center in the world, and also is near Cincinnati and Indianapolis, where large packing establishments are located, almost all the meat purchased by housewives comes from the two local packing plants Anton Stolle and Sons and the City Slaughtering Plant More than 2,700 cattle, 1,900 calves, 10.000 hogs and 300 sheep are slaughtered annually at the local packing plants for home consumption and for the Interstate trade in which Anton Stolle and Sons specialize. During the months from May to September very few hogs are killed at either plant, owing to the fact that the housewives of Richmond, according to the packers, use vegetables and fruit mainly during the hot months. Heavy sales of hogs are recorded in

the months from October to April. An examination of the records of cattle slaughtered during these months 6hows, on an average, that there is little difference in the amount of beef consumed here in the summer and winter. Little Mutton Sold. Persons who have studied the sale of meat in Richmond have wondered why so little mutton was sold. Retail dealers in meat say there is little demand for it, and the conclusion has been reached that the pallets of the citizens do not hanker for mutton. The total number of sheep slaughtered here, 300 in all, indicates that not one sheep a day in the whole year was disposed of in the Richmond meat markets. The consumption of veal also was not as great as was expected by the reporter who had the assignment of
