HARDWOOD RECORD 



31 



I wish to iuvite th'? Indiana Assfn-iatiou, on 

 belnalf oi the Mempliis Luml».>rnien's Club, to the 

 annual meeting on May 3 ot the National Hard- 

 wood Lumber Association. It is not necessary 

 for you to be a member of the Na- 

 tional' Association to become our guest. 

 We have lived down there .so lonir Ihat we have 

 become imbued with the true soutiiern Iiospitality 

 and you will be tiraciousl.v and cordially enter- 

 tninert. We sincerely hope thai one and all will 

 accept the invitation on belialf of the Memphis 

 Lumbermen's Club and attend that meeting. You 

 will have to admit that Indiana is going back 

 as being the "headsetter" of hardwood lumber. 

 Memphis is the largest hardwood lumber pro- 

 ducing center and the "only pelible on the beach" 

 at present. We sincerely liope you will come 

 down. 



Following Mr. Kusse's iiililrcss was a brief 

 cue by W. S. Darnell, of Memphis, in which 

 he recited some very entertfrining facts 

 concerning early Indiana lumber history, 

 with which his father and himself were 

 closely identified, and cordially renewed the 

 invitation made by Mr. Ru.sse, saying it 

 would be a great pleasure to the National 

 Association and to himself personally if 

 every member of the Indiana Association 

 would visit Memphis and become the guests 

 of the Xational Hardwood Lumber Associa- 

 tion and of the Memphis lumbermen at the 

 annual mooting on !May o and 4. 

 Officers for Ensuing Year. 



The committee on n'>minations submitted 

 the following report: 



We, your committee on nominations, beg 

 to report the following nominations for of- 

 ficers and directors for the year to come: 



C. H. Barnaby, Greencastle, president; 

 Ralph May, Evansville, vice-president; J. 

 M. Pritehard. Indianapolis, secretary; Geo. 

 II. Palmer, Sheridan, treasurer. Sam Burk- 

 holder, Crawfordsville; Clarence Kramer, 

 Richmond ; James Buckley, Brookville ; B. F. 

 Swain, Shelbyville, and C. A. Wood, Muneie, 

 directors. 



W. W. KNKillT. Cliairman. . 

 C. A. WOOP. 

 B. F. Swain. 



Ou motion of J. V. Stimson, the report of 

 the nomination committee was unanimously 

 adopted by a rising vote, whereupon the 

 chairman declared the above named persons 

 were duly elected as officers and directors 

 for the ensuing year. Mr. Barnaby was 

 then escorted to the chair by Vice-President 

 May, and addressed the association, in a 

 very neat speech, thanking it for the honor 

 conferred upon him. 



On motion, a committee, composed of 

 George H. Palmer, J. M. Pritehard and S. 

 Burkholder, was appointed to investigate 

 the advisability of the association under- 

 taking an excursion to Cuba following the 

 ad.iournment of the annual meeting, to be 

 held in 1907. 



0. A. Wood announced that it was the 

 wish of his father that he express his deep 

 regret at not being able to attend this 

 meeting and that he desired to thank the 

 secretary of the association and all the 

 members for their kind support to him. 



The convention then unanimouslj- passed 

 a resolution expressing regret that Mr. 

 Wood was unable to be with them for this 

 meeting and their hope that he would have 

 a speedy and complete recovery. 



Vice-President May then invited the 

 members and the visitors at the meeting 

 to become the guests of the Indiana Hard- 

 wood I>umbermen's Association at a ban- 

 (|uet in the private dining room of the 

 Grand Hotel, at 7:30 p. m. 



Adjournment was then taken. 

 The Banquet. 



Promptly at 7:.30 the members and their 

 guests assembled in the large and beauti- 

 fully appointed private dining room of the 

 (irand Hotel, where they sat down to a 

 delicious and splendidly served dinner. Tin- 

 menu was as follows: 



Manhattan Cocktail 



Lynn Havens 



liadishes Olives Crl.-ry 



Green Turtle Soup 



Salted Almonds 



Rhine Wine 



Mroiled W'hitefish Potato Croijuettes 



Sweetbread Patties Green Peas 



Maraschino Punch 



<'liicken a la Maryland 



.\esselrode Pudding Cakes 



Ito(|uefort Clieese Cafe Noir Benl Crackers 



Cigars 



President-elect C. H. Barnaby acted as 

 toastmaster in a most entertaining manner. 

 The dinner was enlivened with music by 

 Beiser's orchestra, which played national 

 and popular airs, for which it received en- 

 thusiastic applause. At the conclusion of 

 the meal, Toastmaster Barnaby introduced 

 E. V. Stewart, of the Sinker-Davis Com- 

 pany, and his accompanist, N. Hoffman, of 

 E. C. Atkins & Co., Inc. Mr. Stewart, luncli 

 to the delight of the assembly, sang the 

 Stein Song, and very courteously responded 

 to several encores. The toastmaster then 

 introduced President Palmer, of the Na- 

 tional Hardwood Lumber Association, who 

 made one of his characteristically frank and 

 pleasant addresses; he was followed by W. 

 H, Russe in a story-telling bout of faultless 

 merit. Mr. Russe was followed by O. O. 

 Agler, W. A. Bonsack, Theodore Fathauer, 

 Gardner I. .Jones, D. F. Clark, W, S. Darnell, 

 Wm. Threlkeld, C. D. Strode, .L H. Baird, 

 .1. N, Day, L, E. Ftiller, H. H, Gibson, F. F. 

 Fish, Geo, L. Smith, J. V. Stimson, S. Burk- 

 holder, J. M. Pritehard, W. E. Ghamberliu 

 and M. E. Philbrick. The humorous char- 

 acter of many of. the addresses put every- 

 body in the highest spirits and the fun waS 

 contagious. Perhaps the most thoroughly 

 enjoyable address of the evening was that 

 of Wm. Threlkeld, who told the story of his 

 part in writing the rules for the Hardwood 

 Manufacturers' Association of the United 

 States and of his present state of mind in 

 connection with .hardwood inspection. It 

 was a speech of such merit as is rarely 

 heard on an occasion of this sort, and not 

 onlj' reflected vast credit on Mr. Threlkeld 's 

 ability as an after-dinner talker but also 

 demonstrated that the education in lumber 

 affairs he has received since his residence 

 in the East has broadened his talents, and 

 when the necessity arose for him to make 

 a graceful and diplomatic side-step, ho was 

 there with the "goods." 



Mr. Palmer's speech was highly ontortain- 



ing, as usual, as also were the stories of 

 Bill Russe, Gardner I. .Jones, Jim Baird and 

 .J. V. Stimson. At the conclusion of the 

 speeehmaking, on the insistence of the 

 diners, Mr. Stewart was again prevailed 

 upon to repeat the Stein Song. It was. 

 nearly midnight when the toastmaster an- 

 nounced the close of the function. The day 

 of the seventh annual meeting of the In- 

 diana Hardwood Lundjermen's Association 

 will long linger in the memory of those who^ 

 were fortunate enough to be m attendance 

 as one of the pleasantest fraternal gather- 

 ings ever held in lumber trade circles.
