CALENDARS. 



We are reminded that this is the season 

 of calendars. Already several firms are 

 out with a creditable representation. 

 « « * 



The Nashville Hardwood Flooring Com- 

 pany of Nashville, Tenn., has a good 

 calendar that will be found in many offices 

 during the coming season. It is plain 

 and serviceable, having no "flub-dubs" 



about it. 



* * * 



Fink-Heidler Company of Chicago have 

 two very beautiful calendars which most 

 lumbermen will take home with them. One 

 is entitled, "Calling "Grandpa's Bluff," and 

 shows a mischievous-looking boy without 

 any clothes on worth speaking of, facing 

 his grandpa with a pair of boxing gloves 

 on, and the old man has his cane lifted in 

 a threatening attitude. The expression of 

 the old man's face, however, shows that he 

 does not intend to do any damage. 



The other is called "Flowers In The 

 Wheat." Now, flowers in the wheat are 

 a detriment to the wheat, generally speak- 

 ing, but the flowers in this case, however, 

 are two very pretty little girls. 



The two calendars are a credit to the 

 taste of the firm of Fink-Heidler Company. 



* * * 

 Wood-Barker Company of Boston, Mass., 



are out with their usual calendar, which 

 consists of a very plain sheet upon which 

 the days of the month are distinctly visi- 

 ble. 



* * * < 



E. C. Atkins & Co., Inc., have a neat and 

 appropriate calendar. It represents an 

 owl seated on a limb, and under the motto: 

 "We Never Sleep," which is a good motto 

 for this enterprising firm. Their calendar 

 is clearly an expensive work of art and re- 

 flects credit on Atkins & Co. 



* * * 



John Dulweber & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio, 

 has a calendar representing a young 

 woman in colors. It is a very handsome 

 and creditable calendar. Since being mar- 

 ried. Ben's mind runs largely to young 



women. 



« * * 



The McClure Lumber Company of De- 

 troit, Mich., have a very handsome calen- 

 dar entitled, "The Dramatic Portrait Calen- 

 dar," and consisting of four pages, each 

 embellished with the portrait of an actress. 

 This will be a very popular calendar for 

 the lumbermen to take home with them. It 



is very neat and modest. 



* * * 



The average Tennesseean's longing for 

 a tide in the rivers is represented by 

 John W. Love with a very artistic calen- 

 dar, representing a sea view. It is called 

 "A Trackless Sea," and shows a waste of 

 water abundantly deep to float logs in. 

 Th color of the light on the water is very 



artistic. To the average man up a tree it 

 looks as if the artist was crazy, which we 

 understand is a proof that it Is very 

 artistic. 



CHICAGO COMMENT. 



The North Branch Lumber Company, 

 now in the hands of a receiver, has pro- 

 posed a plan, it is stated, to settle at 40 

 cents on the dollar. The creditors are 

 largely Northern Michigan lumbermen. 



* • • 



Mr. R. H. Morgan, one of the proprietors 

 of the Wabash Lumber Company of Mount 

 Carmel, 111., was in the city last week on 

 business. He favored the Record oflice 

 with a call in company with Mr. George 

 Thamer, of the Empire Lumber Company, 

 one of his regular customers. Mr. Morgan 

 says they are erecting a new mill at Gray- 

 ville. 111., and will soon be in operation 

 and a little later on will be in the market 

 with a fine lot of hardwoods. 



* * * 



Mr. John Strattan of Campbellsburg, 

 Ind., one of Indiana's pioneer hardwood 

 lumbermen, and a loyal friend of the 

 Hardwood Record, was in the city this 



week on business. 



* * * 



Mr. W. S. Sterrett, sales manager of the 

 Farrin-Korn Lumber Company of Cincin- 

 nati, Ohio, was another caller at the 

 Record's oflSce this week. The principal 

 line on his business card is "I'm the Gum 

 man." While the Farrin-Korn Lumber 

 Company handle other lines, including 

 cypress, cottonwood, yellow pine, oak and 

 ash, their specialty is gum and Mr. Ster- 

 rett advocates the merits of that wood 

 before and beyond anything else. 



* * * 



A. Baker of Rochester, Ind., one of the 

 "original" subscribers to the Hardwood 

 Record, paid this oflice a call during the 

 week. Mr. Baker is taking a little "after 

 campaign" rest. In spite of considerable 

 opposition Mr. Baker was made a joiut 

 representative from the counties of Cass 

 and Fulton to the Indiana state legislature. 

 He was next to the high man in the mat- 

 ter of a plurality, which is an evidence of 

 local popularity and which is in accord- 

 ance with his popularity In the hardwood 



lumber trade.

 Palmer Company of Paducah, Ky., and 

 president of the National Hardwood Lum- 

 ber Association, was in Chicago this week.
