Leaving the edgers. the stock is conveyed to a transfer table, and delivered to a two-saw trimmer 31 feet in length and arranged to trim from 6 to 16 ft. boards. From the trimmer the trimmed boards go to a 100-foot sorting table, where they are carefully graded. The filing room, built with plenty of head room, is well lighted from the roof and from the sides and generally laid out and equip- ped to give the greatest convenience and ease in handling the saws.

This exceptional success reflects most favorably not only on the man- agement and personnel of the mill itself but also on the Waterous Engine Works Company of Rrantford, Out., by whom the mill was designed, built and equipped in its entirety.
