Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Company as a

I want to say in conclusion that I en- 

 joyed my trip to Buffalo, or, would have 

 had I not been sick. The time it took for 

 me to get sick, be sick and get well again, 

 absorbed all my spare time in Buffalo. 

 One fine, beautiful morning I got time to 



run over to Niagara Falls, and was sur- 

 prised at nobody trying to take any money 

 away from me. Maybe I looked too tough. 

 I approached a cabman on the subject and 

 reminded him of his duty, but he only 

 grinned. Ihad a splendid time at Niagara 

 and some time or other I will tell you 

 about it, and in conclusion I wish to thank 

 all the people in Buffalo who were kind to 

 me. There wasn't any other kind.

Charles Christianson of Manistee, 

 Mich., was in Chicago last week. He says 

 the inspection business has been good this 

 year, better than expected, and about 

 the only kick he has coming is that when 

 he gets a large crop of apples, like he did 

 this year, these apples are so cheap you 

 can't hardly give them away.

It was pleasant to see the face and feel 

 the hand-clasp of such a friend as 

 "William Threlkeld and incidentally wel- 

 come him back into the ranks of hard- 

 wood lumbermen. Mr. Threlkeld was for- 

 merly with the Henry Maley Lumber Com- 

 pany at Evansville, Ind. For the past year 

 he has been away from ihe lumber busi- 

 ness and mixed up with traction interests 

 in the Evansville district. A new deal 

 lands him back into lumber circles and 

 this time with Maley & Wertz. Mr. Threl- 

 keld spent a couple of days in Chicago 

 last week, going from here to New York 



and Boston.
