burning Order for Vrompt Delivery 



In response to an editorial request in the 

 last issue of Haretwood Kecokd asking lum- 

 bermen for copies of forms which have been 

 found advantageous in their business, the 

 Webster- Whipple Lumber Company of Minne- 

 apolis, Minn., submits a turning order form 

 (herewith reproduced), which it employs and 

 regards as indispensable. 



This company states that this turning order 

 has been successfully used for some months 

 in giving disposition of its ears, and it be- 

 lieves that the form is admirable for the 



purpose. It must be understood that the 

 average jobber of lumber consigns the ship- 

 ment to himself to sundry points of sale 

 throughout the country, and then effects the 

 delivery of the shipment to the parties mak- 

 ing the purchase. 



The Webster-Whipple Lumber Company 

 states that a good many jobbers and manu- 

 facturers depend upon a letter or a verbal 

 order to the railroads for cars as they arrive 

 at destination. It has been the experience 

 of this house that this is not the best way as 



it has several times resulted in large demur- 

 rage bills, which could not be charged back 

 to the shippers and which had to be charged 

 to the expense account. 



This form is made in triplicate and is 

 stamped with a time stamp. A notice stamp 

 is affixed to each order, which is pinned to 

 the bill of lading. Each of the orders is 

 numbered so that the tissue copies, which are 

 kept in the office, come in rotation. 



The writers allege that they have had no 

 trouble whatever in proving to the demurrage 

 bureau in several instances, since using these 

 forms, that they have given disposition on 

 these cars at the proper time and in the 

 proper way. 



Hence accumulated demurrage resulting 

 from failure on the part of the railroad to 

 make proper delivery which has previously 

 been assessed to the shipper can be promptly 

 collected from the demurrage bureau through 

 the use of this form, which places the fault of 

 non-delivery directly on the railroad. 



Undoubtedly the suggestion involved in this 

 form will prove of considerable value to a 

 great many hardwood jobbers. The Record 

 repeats its invitation to manufacturers and 

 jobbers to send in any other forms which have 

 proven valuable in cost accounting, stock keep- 

 ing or for any other purpose incident to 

 lumber production and distribution. 



An English contemporary states that the cof- 

 fln-makijrs of Paris are on strike. There are 

 only ninety of them, but they turn out annually 

 over 48,000 coflBns, the sale of which, like all 

 other funeral arrangements in Paris, Is a mon- 

 opoly of the municipality of Paris. The coffin- 

 makers are asking for shorter hours and better 

 pay.
