A Chicago news note appeared in the February 

 10 issue of Hakdwood Record referring to W. G. 

 Wilmot as New Orleans representative of the 

 Lidgerwood Manufacturing Company, the logging 

 machinery people of New Y'ork. This was an 

 error, as Mr. Wilmot represents the Lidgerwood 

 Manufacturing Company at Chicago, while Wood-

B. C. Atkins & Co. of Indianapolis, Ind., have 

 taken over the marketing of the well-known and 

 standard tiling room machinery manufactured by

 sharpener was illustrated, accompanied by a brief 

 description. The machine illustrated was only 

 one of sundry types of high class filing room 

 tools which are manufactured by the Covel Manu- 

 facturing Company. It was deemed wise by 

 both E. C. Atkins & Co. and the Covel Manufac- 

 turing Company to permit the former to market 

 the product through its big corps of traveling 

 salesmen, thus effecting a manifest economy. 



The annual meeting' of* the Chicago Hard-
