THE HARDWOOD RECORD. 



Our Position. 



This company being duly organized under the laws of the State 

 of Ohio, with a capital of $250,000, for the purpose of doing a general 

 lumber business, desires in the columns of this paper to siate its 

 position to the trade: 



First— We shall manufacture practically everything we handle, 

 and where we handle anything not manufactured by ourselves, it 

 will be only from strictly Brst-class mills. 



SECOND-We shall inspect our stock for just what it is, and ship 

 in accordance with such representations. 



Third— We will enter order.'j for stock we have on hand or can 

 immediately furnish. 



Fourth— We will make prompt shipment of all orden entrusted 

 to us, barring inability to secure cars 



Fifth— Our stock will be inspected and loaded by our own in- 

 spectors, with such care as should be devoted to such work, and none 

 bat competent men will be employed to look after our interests. 



Sixth— Upon receipt of all orders in this office acknowledgment 

 will immtdiatelv be made of same. They will be duly entered and 

 placed in th' h»nds of inspector to load out, and cars wiUbe ordered 

 in advance. It will be the duty of one man, at least twice a week, to go 

 over the order file and ascertain the reason, if any, for delay, and 

 keep in close touch with our customers. Billing will be made each 

 day of every car we receive notice of having been shipped and in tlje 

 event of our being in the marketourielves for the purchase of stock, 

 we shall take the cash discount oft from every invoice the very day 

 the invoice is received in the office. 



We desire in a general way to be put on record as laying the 

 foundation upon which to build the structure. We look f )r your 

 inquiries, and orders will surely follow.
