(Continued from pane 41) 

 normal and Kad it not been for winter months setting in business 

 would be in a fair sw^ing now. 



Building, however, has to wait for the spring weather. An early 

 spring is predicted. We are advised that over one billion dollars 

 in building contracts are already in contractors' hands. Reports 

 come that steel mills are beginning to operate in getting out 

 materials. 



This all points to an active building era very soon. This will 

 mean more employment, more wages, more purchases, more fur- 

 nishings, all making demand for furniture and plywood. 



So 1 can see nothing but an active period ahead. We all hope 

 and expect that some tangible results will come out of the Disarma- 

 ment Congress. We are told it will mean over two billion of saving 

 on war cost. This will reduce necessary taxes. The stoppage of 

 war construction will release a big lot of skilled labor to other 

 industries, easing up the present dearth of such and hold labor cost 

 dow^n. 



Then our foreign trade increase w^ill tend to keep wrheels moving 

 also. 



As to plywood values: After the reconstruction finally boils down 

 to something like normalcy, these values are bound to level out 

 according to actual costs, and is a matter of correct merchandising. 



In re 1922 supply and demand. From all we can gather, the 

 log supply is none too good. The manufacturers are not any too 

 well supplied, and any perceptible increase in demand will make 

 inroads on present supply that will cause a shortage. From present 

 appearances there will hardly be an over-production during 1922. 



Reports in furniture indicate that, on the whole, retail stocks are 

 low and many warehouses empty. Furniture manufacturers* fin- 

 ished stocks are low. So with a general revival in the spring, I 

 can see nothing but a prosperous season ahead. 



A Correction 



In the report of the annual meeting of the National Veneer & 

 Panel Manufacturers* Association, carried in the December 25 

 issue of Hardwood Record it was stated that E. R. Morrison, who 

 was elected third vice-president, was w^ith the Pearl City Veneer 

 Company. This was an error as Mr. Morrison is in no way con- 

 nected with the Pearl City Veneer Company, but is treasurer of 

 the Jamestown Panel Company, Inc., Jamestown, N. Y.
