. Canadian forest industries January-June 1920. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. 72 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER March Iff, 1920 Midland Company is Extending Activities Midland Woodworkers, Limit- ed, of Midland, Ont., was re-or- ganized in October last and took over the business formerly oper- ated by the Georgian Bay Shook Mills. The new company is un- der entirely new management and the officers are: President, A. II. Vanderburgh, of Toronto; Vice-President, W. H. Firstbrook, of Toronto; , R. H. Scrivener, of Midland; Director, W. Benson, of Penetang; Manag- ing-Director, Fred M. Beatty, of Midland. The Company decided to dis- continue the manufacture of box shooks as carried on by the old concern and to devote its entire plant to the making of doors, sash, mouldings, general mill- work and hardwood flooring, veneer panels. A heavy stock of lumber, including hardwoods, pine, spruce, hemlock and B. C. stock is carried and the factory is in shape to make up almost anything, required in millwork. The plant is splendidly outfitted with machinery and with the addition of some machines, which are being put in, will have one of the best equipped mills of its kind in Canada. It is planned to develop the business as much as possible, par- ticularly in the hardwood flooring department and one or two of the others. The capacity of the door plant at present is about 250 doors per day and this will be doubled before very long. The depart- ment for making up veneer doors is well equipped with modern veneer machinery. The Company has one of the finest waterfronts on the Georgian Bay and is able to unload millions of feet direct .from the lumber barges to the pile which gives a low lumber cost on stock brought in by water. The managing-director, Fred M. Beatty, has had fifteen years experience in this line of work, the most of it being in plants in Edmonton and Saskatoon. He moved from Saskatoon to Midlan
