HARDWOOD RECORD

(Contimied horn pope 30l 

 making tho power units very comp;i<t; yet all parts arc easily accessible 

 for adjustment. All gears run in oil and are made of best quality steel, 

 carefully heat-treated. 



The motor and all mechanical parts arc protected from the weather. 

 It is possible to operate this car in rainy or zero weather. 



Either direct or alternating, single or 3-phasc. current can be used. 



Current can tie supplied to the car by a three-finger collector system, 

 by overhead trolley, or by extension cable. In our own plant we use the 

 extension cable. In IS months of service we have not had one moment's 

 trouble or one dollar's worth of rejiair to either the cable- or the drum. 



The I'lillman car can be built to meet any requirements, regardless of 

 how shallow the transfer runway may be. It can be designed to fit any 

 yard condition or kiln layout that ymi now have in operation. It accom- 

 modates kilns where lumber is piled lengthwise or cross-piled. 



In our own plant, where the car has been in daily use for over a year 

 and a half, we have so far not had an expenditure of a single dollar for 

 repairs. It has supplanted six to seven men. At the current wages in our 

 plant it is a simple matter to figure in how short a period of time the 

 saving of wages will pay for the car. 



This invention represents progress, and as such should be deeply 

 appreciated by all nieniliers of tlip hardwood lumber and wood- 

 working industries.

Strangers Three 



Pessimist and Optimist met one day and they l>egan to discuss 

 the merits of their respective philosophies. 



"Everything that is isn't," said Pessimist. ".Nothing can he set 

 to rights." 



Optimist replied. "You arc wrong, friend : everything that isn't 

 is. From nothing everything was* created. For everything wrong 

 there is a remedy." 



Then Pessimist challenged hira : "Come, let us take the open road 

 together : we will see what we shall see." 



They had hardly started before they were overtaken by a stranger. 

 His face had no trace of l>itterness. Pessimist felt indifferent toward 

 him. He was very silent : no inviting smile illumined his counte- 

 nance. Optimist felt no attraction toward him. But he seemed civil 

 enough, so they invited him to join their philosophic walk. 



The three were only an hour or so on the road when they came 

 upcm a car, stalled in a ditch. 



"That fellow will never get that car out of that ditch in this 

 forsaken place." said Pessimist. 



"Oh," replied Optimist, "he will get clear all right. Some farmer 

 with a team will l>e along by and by." 



They turned to their new companion for his opinion, but in the 

 same moment they saw him get down and under the car. They 

 watched him for some minutes. Soon he rose, covered with the dirt 

 of the road. He said to the owner of the car, "Friend, if you will 

 get in and take the wheel I'll shove from behind, and I think you 

 will pull out all right." In a few seconds the car started off. The 

 willing stranger began to dust off his clothes with his palms. Then 

 it occurred to the two philosophers to ask his name, for hitherto 

 they were unaware of his cognomen. 



"Friends, my name is Peptimist. I am by occupation a doer. 

 What is not, I cause to be. What is wrong. I right. My tools are 

 thought and action." ( Barron's., »

Clubs and Associations 



Townshend Expects Early Adjustment of Rates 



"I feel very sanguine that there will be an early readjustment in freight 

 rates on hardwood lumber and forest products as a result of the conference 

 held at Washington last Thursday with executives of the principal rail- 

 ways in the United States, and that we will know by the latter part of the 

 current week just what we are to receive, in the way of lower rates, from 

 the executives who took part in this conference." 



This is the statement made today by J. H. Townshend, secretary-man- 

 ager of the Southern Hardwood Traffic .Xssociation, who returned Sunday
