 federate all the organizations connected vdth the building in-

John M. Woods, president of the National Lumber Manufactur- 

 ers' Association, extended an invitation to attend the association's 

 meeting in Chicago May 7 and 8. 



An address on the place which trade acceptances should occupy in 

 business was delivered by E. H. Treman of Xew York, and F. S. 

 Underhill of Philadelphia submitted the report of the committee 

 on terms of sale. One ])aragraph summarizes the conclusion. 



This association bad adopted terms of sale of IVj per cent liftecn days 

 from date of shipment or sixty days net from date of shipment. Never- 

 theless, because the practice prevails we really have practicaliy applied 

 terms of 2 per cent cash thirty days, or ninety days net from date of 

 shipment. .\re not these terms liberal enough for you to apply and 

 liberal enough for your customer to asic? Arc .vou extending more liberal 

 terms tlian these, and arc you satisfied you have a good reason for doing 

 so? Your committee recommend for your consideration the fact that it 

 Is unwise as well as unnecessary to be extremely liberal or to be taxed 

 in your terms of sale.
