 going to be in the market shortly for quite a few carloads of ash logs to

 27' long and from 14" and up in diameter. We presume that these logs 

 would be measured on Doyle Scribner rules, small end, small way, and 

 that they would be measured inside the bark. 



There will also ba several carloads of Cottonwood, hickory and otber oak 

 logs wanted. If you would be interested in this proposition, we would be 

 very glad to go into the matter further with you. In the meantime, 

 kindly advise us what kind of deliveries could be expected if orders were

 in thickness from 1%" to 3" in standard sizes? Also gum wood of the

 turnings such as lamps, pedestals, etc., and we find that tlie above woods 

 are most suitable for our purposes. .

Philadelphia, Pa.. January 25.-- Editor Hardwood IIecord : Can you 

 furnish me with a list of manufacturers who glue-up table, desk and 

 furniture tops? We take stock as short as 15" and 17" long, soft maple

 our needs to the 15" and 17" lengths from manufacturers who have the 

 sale of longer stock, and could also use stock of the above lengths in random 

 widths, provided it was well kiln-dried and glue set up ourselves.
