NASHVILLE NEWS. 



The Xashvilli' lunibcrnien .nre tiusy till-

 Considerable mention has been made the 



last few weelvs of the distinction of Jliss 

 Nellie Albright as one of the very few lady 

 lumber salesmen, who is traveling for the 

 A. E. Raird Lumber C'l mpany of this 

 city. The Nashville women are always ex- 

 celling in something and the good worli 

 being done in lumber sales by Miss Al- 

 bright is no exception to the rule. Over 

 at Chattanooga, in this state, a woman is 

 largel.v interested in one of the principal 

 lumber companies which dies an export 

 and domestic business fr m that place. 

 Here in Nashville another woman is pro- 

 prietor and manager of one of the larger 

 Isroom factories of the state. Another 

 ■woman in this city does considerable wi rk 

 for the lumber and trade press. And s i 

 it goes the world over. One of the most 

 influential woodenwai'e papers published 

 in a city not far from where the Record 

 is published is edited b.y a woman, who 

 just a few days ago wed the business man- 

 ager.

 having given what he considers due and 

 sufficient notice to the people (f that 

 benighttd country, will sail for Europe 

 early next week to study social and eco- 

 nomic conditions and see what the little 

 jiggered-np place looks like. We offered 

 him a letter of introduction to King Ed- 

 ward, but he thanked us and said he had 

 a letter, fr.m the chief of police of Chi- 

 cago to the chief of police of London, and 

 that was good enough for him. Mr. 

 Sondheimer will be accompanied by his 

 wife and the Record wishes them a plea.--.'- 

 ant journey. We would be very much 

 pleased to see a photograph of the im- 

 pression.':' the people he meets have of the

 let Max go with the fullest confidence that 

 as a repi-esentative American citizen he 

 will do his country credit and that when- 

 ever anything of any kind is started he 

 will keep up his end. 



Seriousl.v speaking. Mr. Sondheimer 

 has. since tlie death of his father, been 

 carr.ying much of the care and responsi- 

 bility of the enormous business of the E. 

 Sondheimer Compan.v, and needs the rest,
