A Carriage Maker's a Carriage Maker for "a* That" 

 With impressive ceremony at the (irand Hotel on April 3. members of 

 the Cincinnati Carriage Makers* Club celebrated the thirty-sixth anni- 

 versary of the founding of their organization. The dinner was held in the 

 same room in which the club was organized. March 12, 1886. The meeting 

 was arranged in protest against a movement to change the name of the 

 club to the Carriage Makers' and Automobile Accessory Dealers' Club. 

 Carriage manufacturers belonging to the club said they hoped that the fact 

 that nearly 75 members were present at the meeting, the largest attend- 

 ance in many years, would defeat the name changing plan and show the 

 public that the carriage industry is far from being dead. Louis Cook, John 

 Fisher. Ileury Uattcrman. E. J. Hess, Henry Higgins, Harry Pollak and 

 Frank Nelson, formerly connected with the carriage trade, who hadn't at- 

 tended a meeting in many years, were on hand and spoke in defense of the 

 club's present name. Even Philip E. Ebrenz, president of the Carriage 

 Builders' National Association, came from his home in St. Louis to voice 

 his protest. A similar address was made by Theodore Luth of Cincinnati, 

 former national president. 



A small buggy was on exhibition in the banquet hall as visual evidence 

 that carriages are still being made. All other lights were extinguished as 

 Perrin P. Hunter, a retired carriage maker, and Harley H. Nelson, one of 

 the club's charter members, respectively, lit the 30 candles and carved the 

 "birthday cake." 



Retiring President E. V. Overman presided and installed these newly 

 fleeted officers : F. H. liossmeyer. president : Henry W. Meyer, first vice- 

 president ; James E. Baker, second vice-president ; Emil E. Hess, treas- 

 urer ; Henry Voss, secretary. Perrin P. Hunter and Walter Dlnkelman 

 wcrt' appointed members of the Entertainment Committee, and Adolph 

 <;ruber. chairman of the Membership Committee. The election resulted in 

 a tie for the presidency between Mr. Bossmeyer and Mr. Hunter. A coin 

 was tossed and Mr. Bossmeyer won. George W. Huston, secretary and 

 treasurer of the Carriage Builders' National Association, spoke on the 

 • -omiug convention of the organization. 



Dimension Plant Plan Reported Impracticable at Memphis 



At the semi-nionthly meeting of the Lundn-rmen's Club of Memphis at 

 the Hotel (Jayoso, Saturday afternoon, April 1. F. T. Dooley, chairman of 

 the special committee recently appointed to investigate the desirability 

 and feasibility of establishing a co-operative plant here to convert low- 

 grade oak and other hardwoods into dimension stock as a means of facili- 

 tating sale of this class of material, reported that he and his co-workers 

 had gone far enough into the proposition to be in position to state: 

 «1) That establishment of a co-operatively owned plant would not be prac- 

 ticable; and (2) that established plants engaged in cutting dimension 

 stock in the South are operating profitably, thus showing that the same 

 can be done at Memphis. He did not. however, make any definite recom- 

 niendi'tions. leaving the subject for a later meeting of the club. 



The club, by unanimous vote, favored continuation of the special com- 

 mittee, headed by John M. Pritchard. which is conducting negotiations 

 with prospective builders of office structures in the down-town district 

 with a view to securing quarters for the club on a more satisfactory basis 

 > han those now being used. 



H. J. M. Jorgensen. in announcing that the lumber inspection class 

 maintained by the Knights of Columbus would be discontinued after having 

 Just graduated three inspectors, stated that he thought President Thomp- 

 son should appoint a committee to test the ability of graduate-inspectors 

 by putting them on piles of lumber which had already been officially in- 

 spected. The president heartily approved of this course. The Smith- 

 Ilughes lumber inspection class will continue as usual. 



Two new members were selected : Joseph Newburger, president of the 

 Newburger Cotton Company, and vice-president of the recently formed 

 Delta Hardwood Lumber Company at Rayville, La., and S. S. Humphries 

 of the Chicago Coal i.V I^umber T'ompany.

 cording to Mr. Stark, to whip final plans into shape so that the Institute
