CHICAGO 



The Lumbermen's Association of Chicago ha.s issued a 1919 Lumber- 

 men's Log representing the fiftieth anniversary of the Association. The 

 book contains the usual information covering officers, committees, pro- 

 visional memberships and other memberships in the association, as well 

 as a report of the recent annual meeting which was the fiftieth annlver- 

 .sary meeting of this famous organization of lumbermen. 



Haudwoop Recohd is informed that J. T. Sullivan, who has been as- 

 sistant manager of the Detroit. Mich., office of the Mowbray & Robinson 

 Company, has accepted the position of manager of the hardwood depart- 

 ment of the Beaumont Lumber Company, Beaumont. Tex. Mr. Sullivan 

 assumed bis duties on April 1. 



Chicago bas been the scene of many meetings and conventions during 

 the last two weeks, most notable of which has been the four-days' session 

 involving the American Lumber Congress and the annual meeting of the 

 National Lumber Manufacturers' .\ssociation. Involved in this meeting, 

 full report of which is given elsewhere in this issue, various sub-com- 

 mittees met, among them being the board of directors of the National 

 Lumber Manufacturers' Association ; meeting of the northern association 

 of hardwood exporters ; conference be.rween northern hardwood and hem- 

 lock and southern pine .sales managers : meeting of the Xational Alliance 

 of Case Goods Manufacturers; meeting of the .Vmerican Walnut Manu- 

 facturers' Association ; meeting of the American Panel Club. 



The northern hardwood exporters ILstened to a very long and interesting 

 report from their foreign representative, Roy H. Jones, who is now In 

 England investigating conditions and sends frequent reports which are 

 increasingly optimistic. It is announced that enrollment in this organi- 

 zation is now closed. 



There have been so many hardwood men present in the city that it 

 would fill a volume to list tbem all. The representation has been from 

 the North, South, East and West, and all have spoken distinctly encourag- 

 ingly and with a fttll measure of optimism regarding sales and prices. 



LOUISVILLE 



The general demand for hardwoods is exceeding the supply at the present 

 time, due to shortage of production on account of small movement of logs 

 in the South, resulting from wet woods throughout the winter and spring. 

 Many mills have been down for months and are just getting started again. 

 This has resulted in production being so low that many manufacturers 

 have been sold tip to the last notch, and stocks are reported to be down 

 to about sixty per cent of normal. Everything is selling and at good 

 prices. Veneers are very active and there is a steady demand for oak
