Chicago Lumbermen s f^ew Home 



On Mond.-iy, May 10, the Liunber Exchange, 

 the new lioine of the lumber trade and the 

 Lumbermen's Association of Chicago, was in- 

 formally opened for use of the members. Va- 

 rious lumber comiaanies which have taken of- 

 fices in the new building have been moving in 

 for the past couple of weeks and most of 

 them are now well established. A list of 

 tho.se who have signed up for office space is 

 shown below. * 



The building is diagonally opposite the 

 Hotel LaSalle. It is finished in mahogany. 

 The quarters of the association are on the 

 fourth floor with those of the Lumbermen 's 

 Mutual Casualty Company and allied insur- 

 ance organizations. 



The photograph taken in the hall shows, 

 at the left, part of the insurance offices while 

 looking down through the hallway can be seen 

 the handsome lounging room which is shown 

 in detail in separate photograph. On the left 

 of the corridor are the business offices of the 

 association. On the right are assembly room 

 and the well-api)ointed dining room. A quiet 

 section is set aside between the lounging and 

 dining rooms for writing and the serving of 

 refreshments. The dining room has a well- 

 appointed kitchen immediately adjoining, 

 which is in charge of an experienced chef. 



Every feature has been provided to make 

 tlie quarters comfortable and attractive under all circumstances and 

 to provide congenial dining facilities at reasonable cost. 



TIIK I.I-.MRER EXCHANGE, CHICAGO 



Briefly sketching the development of the 

 building project in its definite form; it will 

 be remembered that three years ago the Lum- 

 bermen 's Association of Chicago at its regular 

 meeting sanctioned the attempt at such a 

 plan. A building committee was duly ap- 

 pointed, George J. Pope being chairman and 

 E. A. Thornton and E. E. Skeele his co-work- 

 ers. The committee has labored loyally and 

 faithfully. It worked up several excellent 

 propositions, but the plan as agreed upon with 

 representatives of the McCormick estate 

 seemed the most feasible and so was officially 

 sanctioned Vjy the association. What has 

 transpired since is but a record of hard work, 

 hut it is crowned with success. 



It would be hard to overestimate the im- 

 portance of the plan to Chicago and the indi- 

 vidual members of the trade. Not only will 

 the close association in the new quarters tend 

 furtJier to fuse bonds of better understanding 

 but it will actually mean much in a business 

 w'ay, giving an opportunity for a great deal of 

 trading back and forth. Then, too, there is 

 the constant opportunity of meeting out-of- 

 town millmen and others possibly on the buy- 

 ing side. Lastly, there is a real benefit to out- 

 of-town lumbermen who get to Chicago fre- 

 quently in that it gives an unusual chance for 

 the expeditious handling of business while in 



Chicago. It is ex-pected the new quarters wilt be a popular spot 



during the national convention here in June.
