Adds Materially to Holdings — Now Owns 265,801,000 Standing Feet of Timber Boston, Mass., June 4. — The recent acquisition by the Atlas Plywood Corp. of the Empire Mfg. Co., of Goldsboro, N. C, which was announced last month, has added materially to the Atlas Plywood Corp.'s holdings and facilities. The Empire timber lands contain an excess of 150,000,000 feet of lumber, a supply estimated to take care of all their requirements for the next thirty-five or forty years. This tract includes hardwood gum, of which plywood for packing cases is made, and hard Southern pine, utilized for cleating. Thirty miles of standard gauge railroad are included to handle this timber. The Empire plant is equipped to handle all its own logging, sawing and cutting operations and the complete manufacture of plywood cases. The Atlas Plywood Corp. is said to be the world's largest manufacturer of plywood packing cases. Although this company has specialized for many years in plywood cases for phonographs and later radios, Atlas plywood cases are used in many other fields and the Atlas Corp. has recently manufactured and added to its line "Speedpack," the plywood container for furniture, and Atlas refrigerator cases. The Atlas Plywood Corp., on the acquisition of the Empire Mfg. Co., will own and operate six up-to-date manufacturing plants, advantageously located as regards raw materials, labor and transportation. The corporation owns 265,801,000 feet of standing hardwood and softwood timber in New England, North Carolina and Canada, and currently acquires additional timber through purchase of stumpage rights. It also operates ten assembling plants or branch factories, distributed in centers of consumption throughout New England, the Middle Atlantic and Middle Western Consider the New VINCENNES Veralectric Phonograph DAILY, this remarkable innovation in the phonograph field is gaining prestige and profits for aggressive dealers.

Radio Equality in Politics Broadcasting stations will not be allowed to be partisans in the coming campaign and all candidates for public office must be given equal opportunity to express their views. Such is the substance of a general order just issued by the Commission, which is based on a section of the radio law of 1927. Violation of the order, the Commission says, will be considered sufficient ground for cancellation of license. It is stated, however, that no obligation is imposed on a station to let any candidate talk over the air, but if the facilities are allowed to one candidate all other recognized candidates must be granted the same opportunity. New Columbia Artists Tracy-Brown's Orchestra, of Omaha, Neb., one of the most popular vaudeville and radio aggregations in that section of the country, and who for the past two years has played at the Ad-Sell Restaurant, Omaha, is now recording for the Columbia catalog.
