SOME OF FINE WOODS
Mahogany Regains Its Lead as the Principal Hon-
duran Export During Last Year.
Complete returns for 1924 will show that mahog-
any has regained its place at the head of the list of
commodities exported from British Honduras, which
it had held from the early days of the colony until a
few years ago when chicle took first place in point
of value. The quantity of mahogany and cedar logs
exported from British Honduras for the year 1924,
says Consul W. W. Early, Belize, will be in excess
of 14,000,000 board feet, and a little over 12,000,000
of this went to the United States. The quantity in
1923 was just under 10,000,000 board feet.
The difference is accounted for in part by the dry
season in 1923' and plenty of flood water in the
streams and rivers in 1924, which enabled the contrac-
tors to deliver their wood at the port of shipment.
The outlook for the exportation of an equal or greater
quantity of wood in 1925 is bright. The lumber in-
dustry is largely financed by American capital.
BILGER BRAND OF SUPPLIES
Hoists, Loaders, Trucks and Sills of that Trade-
mark Give Satisfaction to Movers.
Style C-2
FROM THE BIGGEST
ORCHESTRION
The Bilger Loader is a simple, guaranteed and
satisfactory device that makes the work of the piano
mover safer, easier and pleasanter than ever before.
It is made by the Piano Movers Supply Company,
Harrisonburg, Va., and is winning the favor of
movers and music dealers all over the country. The
company is so assured that the Bilger Loader will
do everything claimed for it and impart more ease
and pleasure to the moving jobs that the loader is
offered for fifteen days on approval to reliable parties.
Light "Bilger Jr" trucks are strong and are made
with every other quality to assure satisfaction for the
mover. The trucks are commodities of which the
Piano Movers Supply Co. is particularly proud. An-
other article made by the company which should be
in the equipment of every mover and the moving de-
partment of every music store is the steel sill, par-
ticularly useful for moving grands. And for safety
and an easy job nothing compares with the Bilger
Hoist. The merits of the line of tuner's equipment
sold by the Piano Movers Supply Co. may be learned
more in detail by procuring the new catalog of the
company.
