ANNUAL OF N. W. L. D. A. 



The thirteenth annual meeting of the 

 National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation will be held at Philadelphia, Pa., 

 Wednesday and Thursday. March 1 and 2. 

 1905. The association headquarters at 

 Philadelphia will be the large and commo- 

 dious hotel Bellevue Stratford, and with 

 the arrangements in effect members will 

 be able to attend the business meetings 

 without inconvenience, as the convention 

 hall is located in the hotel and is easily 

 accessible. 



Indications point to an unusually inter- 

 esting meeting next March. The affairs of 

 the association have been progressing 

 splendidly, and through the newly organ- 

 ized departments many subjects will be 

 presented for their discussion and consid- 

 eration. 



Philadelphia is believed to best meet 

 the requirements of the members at this 

 time, and as the inauguration follows so 

 closely after the adjournment of the an- 

 nual meeting, a large number of members 

 have signified their intention of attending 

 the meeting and thereafter leaving for 

 Washington to witness the inauguration. 

 ' The special committee who will have 

 charge of the banquet and make other 

 necessary arrangements will probably be 

 appointed at a meeting of the executive 

 committee, to be held at the association of- 

 fice, Tuesday, December 13.
