 the Immediate future at .Vlton. III., by the Western ('artridge Company,

 company has made necessary the employment of many more workmen, 

 and the town has not hous 's available for sheltering them, hcoce the

A Genuine Printer's Error 



Publishers iiave fr»'iLi thne imineniorial heaped upon the head of the 

 printer whf. Is the silent third party, the blame for errors occurring in 

 publications. The errors are distributed as tc the responsibility between 

 the printer and the publisher, although of course the publisher has the 

 ultimate responsibility on his shoulders. However, it does occasionally 

 happen that the printers will, through some overslsht or mistake, turn 

 out a printed sheet to the public which shows an error that was linally 

 corrected when the proofs left the hands of the ptiblishers in the final 

 forms. This happened in the last issue of ILvnowooD UECoitn In con- 

 nection with the half-pase advertisement ot the Huddleston-Marsh I.jm- 

 bcr Company, Chicago, on Inside front cover. The error occurred In the 

 inscriptions under the two outside cuts, camcly, J. G. Marsh. secnMary 

 and treasurer, was designated as D. W. Walker, sales manager, while 

 Mr. Walker adopted Mr. Marsh's name for the time being. 



Hardwood Recuf.d Is pleased to present cuts of the three principals 

 of this organization again in this issue with their correct designation.
