Ten white oak trees sell for high price in Indiana
In Ripley County a week ago a furniture maker in Indiana bought ten white oak trees from Ben Slayton at Ernest, each stump priced at 100 dollars. The trees measure forty five inches in diameter and were cut for railway ties long ago at 23 cents each, with timber then valued at 3 to 5 dollars per tree. This sale is cited as evidence of rising living costs due to commodity scarcity.
