American walnut is a wood that enjoys continuous
favor. Occasionally there is a spurt in the demands,
but as a rule steadiness marks the call for that de-
sirable variety. The demand for American walnut
has increased steadily throughout 1924. The propor-
tion of walnut used in the furniture industry has been
greater than ever before, particularly in the manufac-
ture of dining-room and bedroom furniture. Very
satisfactory increases in the use of walnut in living-
room furniture have also been made during the past
year.
The radio industry has recently developed into an
appreciable market for walnut lumber and veneers,
while a revival of business in the piano and phono-
graph field has made these industries a better market
for walnut than they were in 1923. The automobile
industry has taken much more walnut this year than
it did last year. Walnut is used in automobile con-
struction principally for steering wheel rims, instru-
ment boards and for tri min the medium and high-
grade cars.
The use of American walntit for interior trim has
shown a very satisfactory increase during the past
year and its use in stores, shops, apartments, clubs,
hotels, banks and commercial houses during the past
year has been very conspicuous in almost every
section of the country. In both the large and small
cities we find walnut practically monopolizing show
window backgrounds in the better class of stores and
shops.
The prospects for 1925 are that all the mills will
operate close to capacity and that the market will be
rather uniformly good throughout the year.
The visible supply of walnut logs appears to be as
great as ever and there is no question but that the
present production of walnut can be maintained for
many years.
The production of walnut logs throughout 1924
has, on the whole, been very satisfactory. Weather
conditions for short periods early in the spring and
again this fall caused temporary stoppages in the
regular flow of logs, but the season, on the average,
has been exceptionally satisfactory. Conditions in
the Missouri and Mississippi valleys have been, per-
haps, a little bit more favorable to production than in
the Ohio valley. In Kentucky and Tennessee pro-
duction has been more than sufficient to meet the
demands of the market.
ADOPTS RADIO ADVERTISING.
Among other things discussed at a meeting of the
Associated Musical Instrument Dealers of New York
at the Arena Cafe, New York, last week was a plan
to secure radio publicity for small musical instru-
ments. The plan outlined is to have a talk on some
particular instrument broadcast weekly and accom-
panied by selections played on it by an artist of
ability. It is expected that this plan will aid mate-
rially in developing more sales for the violin, banjo,
saxophone and other instruments.
SONORA MAN RESIGNS.
Frank J. Coupe, vice-president and sales manager
of the Sonora Phonograph Co., Inc., New York, re-
cently has resigned to accept a position as vice-presi-
dent of Dorrance, Sullivan & Co., New York and
