HARDWOOD RECORD 



Mr. Jarrell in submitting the suggestions 

 of his committee, lauded the work of Presi- 

 dent Raymond,' pointing out his accomplish- 

 ments along the lines of organization, of 

 imbuing a spirit of energy and enthusiasm 

 into the membership and of getting hold of 

 new applicants from among the manufac- 

 turers of the country. 



The president then requested Thomas Mc- 

 Culloch, manager of the National Associa- 

 tion of Box Manufacturers, to address the 

 convention. Mr. McCulloch talked along 

 the line of prices. He used as an illustra- 

 tion of his argument the case of steel manu- 

 facturers, pointing out that there is a 

 marked uniformity in quotations on steel 

 products universally, this condition existing 

 despite the fact that it is impossible for 

 steel manufacturers to operate or secure raw 

 material at a uniform cost. The finished 

 product is offered to the consumer at a price 

 which does not vary to any appreciable ex- 

 tent in different sections. Mr. McCulloch 

 suggested further that this should prove an 

 interesting example for the manufacturers 

 of wood product.s, and closed with an ex- 

 pression of the cordial feeling existing be- 

 tween his association and the National Ve- 

 neer & Panel Manufacturers' Association.

The Gibson Talli; Book 



The Gibson tally book for the accurate tal- 

 lying of lumber, put out by the Hardwood 

 Eecoed about ten months ago, seems to be 

 filling a long-felt want. This tally book com- 

 prises an aluminum three-leaf cover, on the 

 face of the leaves of which are attached, by 

 rubber bands, various forms of tallies to suit 

 every taste. These tickets are made either in 

 single sheet form, duplicates or triplicates, 

 and enable sellers to supply their customers 

 with original tallies, showing the number of 

 pieces of each dimension furnished in the car, 

 or a piece tally showing the lengths and 

 widths. 



Appended to this article is a partial list of 

 J:he buyers and users of the Gibson tally book. 

 Incidentally it may be noted that it has been 

 oflScially adopted and is being used by the 

 inspectors of the Hardwood Manufacturers' 

 Association of the United States, as well as 

 by a large number of the leading manufac- 

 turers and jobbers throughout the country 



and a goodly number of remanufaoturers of 

 hardwoods. 



These covers are sold on approval to re- 

 sponsible parties and tickets of any desired 

 form are made to order. Illustrated circulars 

 are sent on application. 



It may be noted that there are no loose 

 carbons involved in the making of duplicate 

 or triplicate tickets by this system, as the 

 back of the tallies are carboned.
