Diamond Match Company Will End Logging North Of Mill In November

Logging operations of the Diamond Match Company north of Stirling City, which have been in progress for 12 years will cease some time in November, when all timber in that area has been cut out, according to a recent statement by W. B. Dean, manager of the company. Preparations for extensive logging operations west of Powellton will be made, and logging in this section will begin next March or April, depending on the weather.

Reforestation experiments are being conducted by the company, Mr. Dean said.

If the yard manager or mill superintendent could anticipate his orders far in advance he would know just what kind of special machine he would need most, but he is always confronted with surprise rush orders, sometimes ripping, sometimes cutoff, gloughing, gaining frames or one of a hundred other cuts. It is in Beael Ripping such cases that the DeWalt has proven to be a friend in need. It moves right in line of production on the job that is getting behind.

Some prefer it stationary, others attach it to one end of a 100 foot drop cord and work right ofi the pile onto the truck. Every dollar it saves in handling means an added income that may mean the difference between success and failure. Every job on a direct drive ball-bearing machine is a cheaper job to figure. Every job done quicker means more satisfied customers.

The machine is sold by the DeWalt Machinery Co., 613 E. Third St., Los Angeles, of which C. L. Anderson is manager, and by the DeW-alt Sarv Agency, 8n Franklin St., Oakland, F. C. LeDoux, manager.
