The Messinger Hardwood Company of 

 Chicago, III., has a highly colored repre- 

 sentation of four sailors sitting about on 

 the deck of a ship seeing which can tell 

 the biggest yarn. A very fine calendar 

 and a credit to the company's taste.

The Cincinnati Hardwood Company 

 has a very fine calendar in black and 

 white, representing a group of children 

 pl.^ying "Ring Around Rosy." It is hand- 

 some and modest.

lirownlee & Co. of Detroit have a hand- 

 some souvenir in the shape of a celluloid 

 paper-knife, with their card in a neat 

 and unobtrusive manner on the handle. 

 Very convenient and appropriate. 



CHICAGO COMMENT. 



Our grist of locals is rather light this 

 week. Not many people have been to town. 

 A few Chicago lumbermen have come in 

 off the road and everything is Chrisrmas. 

 Anyone who is in Chicago would concede 

 that the Christmas spirit is abroad in the 

 land. There are two million people ail 

 trying to get into the stores down town 

 at the same time. It takes lots of pa- 

 tience just to go along the streets, and 

 a fellow would be apt to get angry at 

 his slow progress were it not for the tol- 

 eration engendered by the same spirit of 

 Christmas. The jam is fearful and will 

 get worse right up to Christmas. 



All of the Chicago lumbermen seem 

 cheerful and optimistic. They have not 

 figured up to see how they come out as 

 yet, but most of them are taking it for 

 granted that they came out pretty well 

 on the year's business. If they did not 

 it does not matter a great deal. They 

 fought hard all year and did the best they 

 could, but Christmas is a time of relaxa- 

 tion.

Mr. N. B. Hester, who is the southern 

 representative of Miller Brothers, is up 

 this week in consultation with the mem- 

 bers of his firm. He was in the office 

 under the competent guidance of Charley 

 Miller. He said he had this year's busi- 

 ness about closed up and had come up to 

 learn what the intentions were for next 

 season. 



If what Charley Miller said is true, and 

 we think it is, they will do a larger busi- 

 ness next year than ever before. Charley 

 is an optimist and firmly believes that 

 the coming season has something good 

 in store. We believe Charley is right.

Mr. H. C. Jackson, of the H. C. Jackson 

 Lumber Company, Grand Rapids. Mich., 

 has been visiting in the city all week.

Mr. D. P. Clark of Minneapolis, the old 

 wheel-horse and faithful member of the 

 National Hardwood Lumber Association, 

 was in the city this week and favored the 



Record office with a pleasant call. Mr. 

 Clark is of the firm of Osborne & Clark 

 of Minneapolis, Minn., and a very success- 

 ful lumberman and an all-around good fel- 

 low.

Mr. Georgs W. Stoneman is in Memphis 

 ihis week and will only get home in 

 time for Christmas. I saw him while in 

 Memphis. We attended the show together. 

 It was not an extra good show, out George 

 and I enjoyed it. We know how to enjoy 

 a show whether it is good or not.

Mr. J. I. Hall of this city was in to see 

 us and paid a year's subscription, for 

 which he has our thanks. Mr. Hall is a 

 local dealer here, and when he had paid 

 his subscription he sat down for half an 

 hour and regaled us with some of his ex- 

 periences, which were very interesting.

W. S. Johnson of Milwaukee, Wis., was 

 in the city this week accompanied by hi.^ 

 son Harold. Harold is a graduate of Har- 

 vard University and is now starting in at 



"CALICO" JOHXSOX. 



the lumber business. He is strictly all 

 right and will make a go of it. 



We cut the following cartoon of W. S. 

 from a Milwaukee publication. This car- 

 toon gives an idea of the business of the 

 South Arm Lumber Company, in which 

 Mr. Johnson is interested. 



Mr. Johnson is also of the Johnson &. 

 Knox Lumber Company of Chicago and is 

 a hustling and entertaining gentleman. 

 * * * 



Now. if there has been anybody else 

 come into town or gone away, we don't 

 know of it. He has failed to report at 

 this office. Most of the boys are sticking 

 pretty close to home. 



For it is Christmas time. 



The Cherokee Lumber Company is the 

 name of a new corporation at Buckhannon, 

 W. Va. The capital stock is $25,000, and 

 incorporators are named as G. P. Stock-
