MARIETTA LUMBER CO., Marietta, Ohio 



Mr. Hackley evidently believes with 

 Carnegie that it is a disgrace to die rich. 

 If I should give away a million and a half 

 dollars it would pretty nearly break me. 



It is more blessed to give than to re- 

 ceive. At least Shakespeare says so, and 

 Shakespeare was a mighty wise man. 



In this country, leading the world to- 

 day in its most advanced period, are 

 necessarily the smartest men in the world, 

 and these men have evolved a new phi- 

 losophy. It is that you should bend every 

 nerve to make money, to show people 

 that you are capable of making money — 

 and then give it away. Not in your will. 

 That was the fashion in the days of 

 Peter Girard and is out of fashion now. 

 The newest thing is to give it away while 

 you are still living and can get all the 

 glory out of it. By the modern method 

 you get to sit on a platform surrounded 

 by admirers from Chicago and elsewhere 

 and listen to a laudatory speech by the 

 president of a university and have your 

 picture in the paper. Shakespeare must 

 have had something of this kind in mind 

 when he said, "It is more blessed to give 

 than to receive" 



And don't you Ivnow I'd like to give 

 away a million dollars and have people 

 gush about me. as they would. If I had 

 it to give, I should be glad to know that 

 the president of the university was con- 

 vinced that I was a great and good man. 

 I should like to have my picture in the 

 paper as a man who throws millions 

 around, but I'm afraid I never shall. 



And they are so afraid of pauperizing 

 the dear people. They don't believe in 

 feeding the hungry and clothing the naked. 

 Oh! bless me, no! That would pauperize 

 them — the people. I mean. And the presi- 

 dent of the university wouldn't stand a 

 show — and they wouldn't get their iiic- 

 ture in the paper. 



In the first place, if they were free and 

 generous, they would never make a mil- 

 lion dollars to give away. If Carnegie had 

 been of a generous disposition he would 

 have divided up with his workmen instead 

 of having the bloody riots at Homestead. 



The Lord never meant people to give 

 away a million dollars. If a man makes 

 money honestly he is entitled to keep it. 

 If he makes it dishonestly the people 

 don't want it. 



AN EVIDENCE OF GREAT PROS- 

 PERITY. 



It follows that, when one makes a spe- 

 cialty of a thing, he becomes more and 

 more skilful in that direction and con- 

 stantly works to better advantage, owing 

 to his increasing dexterity. This princi- 

 ple also applies in inaniifacturing. Where 

 a limited line is built, instead of a general 

 line, special machinery adapted to the 

 most advantageous possible construction 

 of the same can be installed, the various 

 parts can be run through in large lots, 

 which reduces the cost to the minimum. 



the men become exceedingly proficient in 

 the work, etc. 



It is to this fact, and to the fact that 

 they have one of the most severely prac- 

 tical designers in the country, that the 

 Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company of 

 Greenville, Mich., the largest manufacturer 

 of hollow blast grates, edgers and trim- 

 mers in the world, attributes its wonderful 

 success. 



Having found its former facilities un- 

 equal to its constantly and rapidly increas- 

 ing business, it is adding to them by the 

 installation of new special and other ma- 

 chinery, including a Corliss engine, and by 

 two additions, one 22x40 feet, two stories 

 high, and one 40x80 feet, also two stories 

 high. Further improvements are also con- 

 templated. 



The company has also added to its of- 

 fice furniture a 7ii-file Amberg Imperial 

 cabinet, making a total of three cabinets 

 now in use by it, to take care of its volum- 

 inous correspondence. 



BUILDING NE'WS. 



Secretary Doster, of the Hardwood Man- 

 ufacturers' Association, in a letter to its 

 members sets forth building conditions 

 throughout the country, as follows: 

 To All Members: 



Building contiues active in all sections 

 of the country. Official reports to Con- 

 struction News from twenty-four of the 

 principal cities of the country show that 

 during the month of October permits were 

 taken out for the construction of 8. 201) 

 buildings, involving f27,775,0i9, against 

 0,892 buildings, at an estimated cost of 

 $21,:J25,722 during the corresponding 

 month a year ago, an increase this year 

 of 1,314 buildings and $f>,449,297, or 30 

 per cent. The figures in detail are as fol- 

 lows: 



This is certainly a highly satisfactory 

 showing, and more particularly so because 

 it is so late in the seasort. It shows that 

 there is a tremendous demand for new 

 buildings for all purposes, and that with 

 the exceptional impetus it now has it 

 should continue extremely active through- 

 out November. A falling off is to be ex- 

 pected during the winter months, but peo- 

 ple who are capable of judging believe 

 that the decrease during the winter will 

 not be very great. The activity is gen- 

 eral, not confined to any particular part 

 of the country. 



By reference to the accompanying table 

 it will be seen that the gains are pretty 

 large in each instance. In Cincinnati 

 there was unusual activity, the increase 

 bein.g 277 per cent, and this was followed 

 by New Orleans, with 1G3; Buffalo, 93; 

 Cleveland, 92; Indianapolis, 87; Memphis, 

 87; San Francisco, 84; Pittsburg, 7G; New 

 York. 30; Minneapolis, 29; Chicago, 22; 

 Philadelphia. 10; St. Louis. 14; Milwaukee. 

 13; Los Angeles, 9; Allegheny, 0, and 

 Omaha, 2 per cent. Only five show losses, 

 and they are in each instance small: Ta- 

 coma, 31 per cent; Louisville, 10; St. Paul. 

 7; Seattle, 4, and Atlanta. 2 per cent. 

 Yours truly. 

 LEWIS DOSTER, Secretary.
