Important Northern Meetings 



As this issue of Hardwood Record goes to press, members of the Michigan 

 Hardwood Manufacturers' Association arc preparing for a very important 

 meeting which will be held at the Statler hotel, Detroit, Mich., on Wednes- 

 day, October 25. The big subject for consideration is the question of pro- 

 posed changes in hardwood grading rules. This will be followed up by the 

 usual valuable market report, after which will come reports of regular and

 the question will be decided definitely on this occasion. The bureau of 

 grades will give a report of its findings, based on investigations and Its 

 correspondence with members and consuming interests and the result of

 together In tliis matter.

 adopts the report of the bureau of grades and hardwood rules, it will then 

 take up the Important question of the method by which it shall put these
