TT AXSAS CITY.. Mo, Feb. 11.
K (Special.) "What of the Long
Hell Lumber company?" Port
land asks Kansas City.
It is one of tha largest retail d!a
trlbutora of sti wext and branded lum
ber in tha world, a development aince
Its hambla brsrtnnlnr In 1974, to a
complete producer, manufacturer and
dintrlbutor. It trade alogan, "From
tree to trad.- Is literal.
The Long--Be II company Is neither a
Crust nor a monopoly- Its orlarin was
not In Wall turret. Rather, it could
be said. Its origin was more humble
IIIIIIIIIIIIHKIIIIIII"
even than is mrtrestcA br the much
hermldd "Main street."
It was In Colurrfbu Kan.. where
R. A. Lonr had enagred in the hay
business after leaving Kentucky that
his lumber idea was born. On that
prairie the hay and grain business
had withered. Mr. Long- had to liqui
date. In that liquidation he found
the lumber from wrecked sheds and
corrals produced more ready cash
than his store of livestock foods. He
first sensed the demand for lumber.
The property the bay store bad oc
cupied was not Id demand, so Mr.
Longr retained the shack be had used
for an office. .He bought lumber, cid
and nw. and with the support of Vic
tor A. Bell, who had been interested
with him In the hay and grain busi
ness, started a retail lumber yard.
So, In U.S. the Long-Bell concern.
then a partnership, made Its bumble.
oae-roora-office start. That It now
occupies its own II. 000,000. li-atory
building, owns 11 subsidiary corpora
tions, and baa 12S mills and yards
with an annual production capacity
of approximately "6O0.000, 000 feet. Is
due to the 47 years of constant ex
pansion under the leadership of Mr.
I,onr. Mr. Bell, one-time partner.
and, at bis retirement In 1895, ever a
co-worker, died Just as the company
he had helped to found was reaching
the peak of its importance.
The peak found Mr. Long as strong
In faith and vision as did the change
to the lumber business in 1874. The
oeak fouad the Long-Bell company
at 00.000,000 feet of 'production. The
plana for the Kelso tract contemp'ate
a cut even greater than the entire
organisation had reached until this
last year.
Messrs. Long and Bell left that
small office and lumber yard In Co
lumbus, Kan.. In 1891. coming to
Kansas City. Previously the partners
had incorporated the Long-Bell Lum
ber company, with Mr. Bell as presi
dent. Mr. Long as general manager.
When Mr. Bell retired Mr. Long- was
made president and remained In that
office until last year, ween ne was
made chairman of the board of direc
tors. V. 3. Bannister, ex-bookkeepe
later vice-president and treasurer, i
president since the election of a year
ago.
The Long-Bell company that made
headquarters in Kansas City in 1891
was still a retail concern. Soon it
added wholesaling, for it was in
market point that was developing. It
was after the" retirement of Mr. Bell,
in 1898 to be exact, that the Long-Bell
company embarked In lumber manu
facture. Mr. Bell had opposed too
rapid expansion in his regime and th
addition of a mill was regaraea as
venture. A venture it was: a venture
that succeeded!
W. F. Ryder, now a factor In the
manufacturing department, and W. S.
King were lumber buyers in the early
days of Long-Bell. Acting for their
corporation, they went into the then
Indian territory in 1898. bought a mill.
and the King-Ryder mill became
subsidiary of the Long-Bell company
and its first manufactory.
Within that year mills were bought
and operated in Hudson, Ark., and
Yellow Pine, La. That marked the
complete commitment of the Long-
Bell company to yellow pine lumber.
It has been and is yet. the chief
product of the giant concern, al
though hardwood lines have been
added both in manufacture and dis
tribatlon.
Ever extending and always from
profits and surpluses acquired through
product and careful operations, the
Long-Bell mills began at the forests
of Arkansas, Oklahoma. Louisiana and
Missouri. Its first western connection
was through the Weed Lumber com
pany at Weed, Cal. Last year that
company passed to the complete con
trol and operation of the Long-Bell
company. In the Interim, timber
lands In Klamath and Lake counties.
Oregon, were acquired, but no further
development In those parts la even in
Immediate plana
For the Kelso tract the biggest
plans for investment and production
already are cast. Surveys have been
made, the plant site selected near the
confluence of the Cowlits and Co
lumbla rivers, and the rail and dock
problems put In the hands of engi
neering experts.
The plan exceeds even the Dig
dream that Mr. Long has lived to see
fulfilled. With more than ten years
of timber available to his present
plants, himself in the early 70s, Mr.
Long personally is directing the de
velopment of the northwestern proj
ect. a project that exceeds even his
accomDllshments of 47 years.
Visualizing the Long-Bell or 1Z3
and hence. F. J. Bannister in a New
Year's greeting to his organization
headquartters here wrote:
From New York to lieiso, irom
Canada to Mexico. In giant forests of
the west states, in plney woods of the
south, members of the Long-Bell fam
ily have a new vista.
'Because or your pride in your com
pany, I know you will De giaa to learn
that we believe we . have passed
through the critical period of read
justment; that we are planning for a
progressive expansion or your com
pany which will be actively pushed
until the name Long-Bell (stamped on
ends and sides of every board, every
post) will be a by-word in every con
tinent and clime where lumber is
used: until our flag shall fly from pur
own steamers in foreign ports of call.
So Is written the history or the
Long-Bell company, a company that
began with a failure, a company that
has grown by Its own energy and re
invested Drofits.
R. A. Long, head of the company, la
a Churchman of the Christian denom
inational faith. He led the campaign
for a Kansas City memorial to Its 619
war heroes which collected more than
$2,000,000 for the building on a site of
ten acres the city condemned and ac
auired.
A man of quiet, modest almost
reverent demeanor, Mr. Long visual
izes for others to execute.

Ohio Health Resort Has
Mayor 80 Years Old.
Secretary of Commerce Club Puts
Over Little Advertising- Stunt.
M
AGNET-ie SPRINGS, O.. Feb. 11.
80 years old last Decenfber, has been
appointed mayor of this village and
thereby hangs a tale of how the sec
retary of the Commerce club here
originated and put through to a sue.
cessful conclusion the Idea of bring
ing publicity to a health resort whose
popularity appeared to be waning.
As Secretary Williams of the Com
merce club tells It, this little health
resort of 200 residential citizens.
tacked away In the country, 14 miles
over rutty roads from the nearest
town, Delaware, was in a rut and
something had to be done.
When Mayor Nathan O. Brown an
nounced his intention of spending the
winter in Florida. Secretary Williams
conceived the idea. "We will appoint
a woman mayor," he suggested and
prevailed upon AIayorBrewn to name
Mrs. McFadden to act during his
absence, giving as his reason that
Mrs. McFadden was the oldest woman
in town capable of acting as mayor
during Brown's absence.
This was done and Secretary Wil
liams got busy in the publicity end
of the venture.. Almost overnight
Magnetic Springs became known as
the ho'me of the oldest woman mayor
In the country. Hhe old bus to Dela
ware that had almost stopped operat
ing for lack of patronage once more
took on life and did a thriving busi
ness, particularly witn newspaper
reporters and curiosity seekers.
Mrs. McFadden met the newspaper
boys and frankly told them: I hardly
know what it' is all about." Secretary
Williams issued announcements con
cerning her policies.
But this was not all. The state
officials at Columbus questioned the
legality of her acting as mayor. They
pointed out that the job automatical
ly fell upon the shoulders of the
president pro tem. of the village coun
cil. Secretary Williams was equal to.
the emergency. He induced a conn -1
cllman to resign, if necessary, . and
then induced the president pro tem.
to resign as president of council and
the way was paved to have Mrs. Mc
Fadden fill the "position as president
pro tem. of .the council and thereby
assume the offree of mayor.
And Magnetic Springs has been
turned into a thriving village, accord
ing to Secretary Williams.
