Our Customers Truly Control 

 the Output of Our Mills 



-^- We endeavor to avoid putting the cart before the horse, that is, 

 sawing lumber and then seeking a market for it. 



Rather, it is the first principle of our organization to determine 

 the exact market requirement and then school our five separate 

 manufacturing organizations to cut exactly according to what 

 the buyers want. 



The result is that manufacturing buyers are just as truly in control 

 of our production as they would be if they owned the mills themselves. 



This principle coupled with original selection of mill sites to guarantee 



uniformity of product and with unvarying full, straight grade shipments is 



responsible for a clean reputation that is acknowledged by competitors as well as 



customers.

Cooper, Memphis Band Mill Company, and Frank Coukling, Korn-Conk- 

 ling Lumber Company, directors for two years. There are three directors 

 who still have a year to sen^e, bringing the total number to six, J. F. 

 Mc>Sweyn, retiring president, becomes chairman of the advisory board 

 which is composed of e.x-presideuts of this organization. 



The election passed without special feature beyond the good fellow- 

 ship which prevailed throughout the week of campaigning which preceded 

 it. The candidates hustled for votes to the limit of their ability but 

 they displayed the spirit that has characterized this organization for 

 many .vears and that has made it the peer of anything of the kind in 

 this or any other country. The successful candidates were profuse in 

 their thanks to their friends who had voted for them and pledged their 

 best efforts in iiehalf of the club with a view to keeping it on the same 

 high level on which it has been niaiutained for years. The defeated 

 ones, however, ileclared that they had enjoyed the race, that it had 

 brought them into closer contact with the membership, that it had aroused 

 new interest in the club and that it had made them more anxious to 

 serve it than ever before. 



The blue ticket carried off most of the honors. It elected the head of 

 the ticket and all but two of the other officers and directors. 



The new officers will be installed at the next regular meeting. Retir- 

 ing officers will make their reports at the same time. 



Refreshments were ser\*ed during the evening and a talk was made by 

 Col, S. B. .Anderson, director in the United States Chamber of Commerce, 

 who attended the reconstruction conference of the latter at Atlantic City, 

 December 4-0, and who took a very optimistic view of the outlook for 

 business. 



Earl I'almer of Ferguson & Palmer Company does not favor con- 

 tinuation of present high wages any more than he favors present arbi- 

 trar.v prices for commodities. He believes that commodities should come 

 down to a more normal level and he further believes that reduction in 

 wages should be the first step in bringing about this lower range of com- 

 modity prices. 



A purse of $100 was presented to the Misses Corrington for the effi- 

 cient wt)rk they had done in looking after the affairs of the club during 

 the period since they took the place of their sister who resigned some 

 time ago to get married.
