Thanks the Editor 



riiiLADEEPHiA. Pa., March 17. — Editor Hard- 

 wood Ukcoud : I am leaving tomorrow on a trip 

 to I'anama for three weeks, and before leaving 

 I want to take this opportunity to thank yon 

 for the favorable montion you made of an ad- 

 vertisement of mine before the convention of 



hardwood sales managers in Chicago. I was 

 very glad to meet you personally at that time, 

 and trust that any time yon are in I'hiladelpbia 

 you will call in and see me. 



Our policy. "We will not mix grades." is 

 based primarily on principle, but iu addition to 

 that we believe that if every manufacturer of 

 lumber would refuse to mix grades, either with 

 or without the knowledge of his customer, it 

 would do more than anything else towards elim- 

 inating the cutting of prices and comphiints 

 which are now so frequent in ihc hnrdwood 

 trade because of quality. 



HAHKY K. nLMPIIUEYS, 



I'loprietor, Iladentinc Lumber Company. 

 IdARDWOOD Recohd is entirely in accord witii 

 tlie moral and common sense principles on 

 which Mr. Humphreys is doing business. The 

 hardwood manufacturers and merchants are 

 fast finding opt that outside of the moral and 

 ethical principles involved in delivering to a 

 customer the grades of lumber which he buys, 

 it is a matter of common sense to do business 

 oil the level. Otf grade and short count have 

 put more lumber houses on the "bum" than 

 anvtl.ing else. — Editor.

 has suggested that we mention the matter to you. 

 as possibly some of your subscribers might be

Criticises Red Gum Market Report 

 ntiLipp. Miss., March 14. — Editor Hardwood 

 Record: I read in your issue of March in 

 under "General Market Conditions" that "red 

 gum is holding its own well, but there is appar- 

 ently no increase in price," but do not agree 

 with this statement in the face of the fact that 

 we are getting four dollars per thousand more 

 for this wood than we did sixty days ago. 



Tlie inference made by the above corre- 



spondent is undoubtedly .justified, as during 

 the last fortnight especially, it has been pos- 

 sible for those who had dry first and sec- 

 onds red gum, well manufaetureil, to secure a 

 premium on current list of from three to as 

 high as seven dollars a thousand. Strictly 

 high class dry firsts and seconds red gum is 

 remarkably scarce, and is commanding any 

 reasonable price the seller asks. — Editor.

In the Market for Magnolia 



Chicago, March 2.3. — Editor Hardwooi* 

 Record : Can you give us a list of manufac- 

 lurers of magnolia? We have considerable in- 

 quiry for this stock and would like to be able to 

 locate it. — Editor. 



The writer of the above letter has been sup- 

 plied with a meager list of magnolia pro- 

 ducers on file at this office. It would be a 

 favor to the Becokd if manufacturers of 

 magnolia would communicate their addresses 

 to this office, so that the information can be 

 listed up for the benefit of inquirers for this 

 varietv of lumber. — Editor.

Milwaukee Concern Buys Property 



The Tegge Lumber Company of Milwaukee, 

 Wis., recently purchased a large piece of prop- 

 erty, 233 feet by 275 feet, at Park street and 

 Sixth avenue, that city, from the Milwaukee 

 Southern Railway, which will be used as an 

 extension to its yard adjoining. Owing to the 

 increased business and the small space at the 

 company's disposal, it has had to make this 

 move to handle the larger trade more sattsfac- 

 lorilv.

 pany's sales headquarters, which • have been
