The invention Is u printing ma chine that can be used to print lumber as It is going through the plunlng mill and can. print the spe cies, the company trademark and number or whatever is desired. Heretofore an extru process stump ing method has been necessary, in volving additional production cost. A printing machine that could be used In the sawmill has been on the market before but. was not prac tical because it was impossible to print the species before tho lumber reached the planing mill. Discovers .Method The lumber world has had au thorities investigating for about I t years, endeavoring to find some, method whereby lumber could bo marked, under u practical system. Last spring, Air. Tanner was vailed to Spokane, by A. V, Cooper, man ager of the Western l'ine associa tion, of Portland, a large organiza tion of pine lumber companies, to be u member of u committee to see a demonstration of u machine. The machine proved u failure, and Air. Cooper, upon hearing Mr. Tan ner's report of the failure requested him to "try his luck." - "I'll h.lVo nun fiit. vim two weeks," Air. Tanner .told him, though he confessed today that he had not beei as confident of his success then as his reply Bounded. lhit in two weeks, he did havo a model of tt practical machine that could be used on the planer, some thing that for 14 years leaders of tho industry hud been searching for! :-r iiprct Mlcr"' ' ' ' - , On June 20, a committee com posed of Jack li'vin, munager of the I'otlatch company, of Idaho, DJlly (Jeddes, of the Craig Mountain ; (Continued on Page 5) , T 1 II.
