I suppose from the standpoint of an ad- 

 vertiser the new size of the Record is a 

 great improvement, but as one of the laity 

 members I have a sentimental fondness 

 for the old size.

 I consider the new uniform of your 

 journal quite an improvement and worthy 

 of the paper.

The change in size of the Record was 

 unexpected and we were considerably sur- 

 prised, but we think it is a decided im- 

 provement. In this connection we also 

 wish to say that we consider the Record 

 indispensable to any firm interested in 

 hardwoods.

Chicago, 111., April 10, 1002. 

 I have just had a copy of your issue of 

 to-da.v laid on my desk and want to say, 

 that if it isn't 50 per cent better than the 

 old size I will eat my hat (a la Carter Har- 

 rison).

 The new size and dress of the Hardwood 

 Record is attracting favorable comment 

 everywhere I have been, and I congratu- 

 late you on your business acumen and 

 progressiveness. It is sure to be a winner.

Nashville, Tenn., April 20. 1902. 



We note with much pleasure the im- 

 provement that you are making in your 

 paper. The increased size of the Record 

 and the new dress in which you have 

 clothed it is indicative of the prosperity 

 and growth of this great ex^ionent of the 

 hardwood trade, and we hope that it will 

 continue to grow, and both it and its editor 

 continue to wear new clothes as its pros- 

 perity increases, and that other improve- 

 ments may also continue which we have 

 needed in the hardwood lumber business 

 for a number of years. 



The conditions of trade as we see them 

 and prospects for the future are vei-y 

 bright and flattering. The only drawback 

 is the scarcity of logs. If we could get 

 all the logs that we want we could double 

 our sales over last year a half dozen 

 times. 



The fact that the demand is far in ex- 



cess rf the supply naturally advances the 

 price on hardwoods from this section and 

 prices will advance, in our opinion, during 

 the remainder of this year. 

 Yours truly, 

 PREWITT-SPURR MFG. CO., 

 .T. H. Baskette. 

 , Secretary and Treasurer.
