BALTIMORE 



In the Marine Show and Iniporl and Kxport Kxhibition, designed to 

 bring the attention of shippers generally to Baltimore's advantages as a 

 gateway for the movement of goo<is to and from foreign countries, which 

 was held the week ending July 16 in the Fifth Regiment Armory, a build- 

 ing of vast proportions, one of the most interesting displays was made 

 by John L. Alcock & Co., hardwood exporters of that city. This display 

 presented in logically arranged form and readily accessible shape samples 

 of logs, round and with the bark off, sawn timbers, boards, planks and 

 other divisions of export lumber, all of the samples clearly labeled and so 

 placed as to show off quality and general character. It was the only 

 exhibit made by anyone engaged in the lumber trade, with the exception 

 of the representation of the box making industry gotten up by the North 

 Carolina Pine Box and Shook Manufacturers' Association, adjoining, and 

 it attracted thousands of visitors, many of whom had never seen the vari- 

 ous kinds of woods so arranged as to make clear their differences and 

 their physical peculiarities. 



The display was divided into two equal parts by a kind of wall made 

 of boards, the center of the first section being taken up by a big black 

 walnut log. such as are in great request by the venw'r makers. This log 

 measured 28 inches across the top. Hewn timbers, squared to meet the 

 requirements of the export trade, occupied corner positions, and there 

 were a large number of other items, which not only proved of interest to 

 the casual visitor, but were an instructive object lesson to lumbermen 

 generally.
