^■< NEW YORK y- 



The Lumber Trade Club of Now York is about ready for its formal 

 opening, the quarters in the Lords Court building now being in the 

 hands of the de<;orators, carpenters, etc. Enough applications have been 

 received and acted upon to assure a representative membership at the 

 time of opening and the sponsors of the new organization are confident 

 of gaining a large number of members when the fall season gets into 

 full swing. The club will be located on the seventeenth floor of the 

 building at 27 William street, which is close to all transit lines reach- 

 ing the lower part of the city. 



The war on shingles seems to have been carried to this city. A" proposed 

 revision of the building code would eliminate wood shingles in the great 

 suburban districts of the city, such as Flatbush, Bay Ridge, Queens, etc. 

 The purpose of the proposed regulation is to reduce the fire hazard, 

 though as far as is known no serious fires have occurred in these dis- 

 tricts where detached frame houses abound and where shingles have long 

 been the most popular roofing material. The lumber trade of the city 

 is protesting the new regulation and will "make every legitimate effort to 

 defeat its adoption by the Board of Aldermen. The result would be far- 

 reaching, affecting the home owner and prospective home builder no less 

 than the retail lumber dealers. The news of the proposed change came 

 as a surprise, for nothing was known of any agitation against the use 

 of wooden shingles in this city. 



The ranks of the wholesale hardwood trade have been augmented by 

 the opening of a New York office of the Iluddlestou-Marsh Lumber Com- 

 pany, handlers of fancy woods and mahogany lumber and veneers. The 

 headquarters of the company are at Chicago, and the New York office is 

 at 1S22 New Aeolian Hall. 33 West Forty-second street, where R. S. 

 Huddleston. president of the company, will make his permanent head- 

 quarters. The company has made "manufacturing arrangements for an 

 adequate supply of raw material to take care of inquiries of all kinds for 

 this class of stock. Mr. Huddleston has been in the manufacturing and 

 distributing hardwood business for a great many years and has always 

 specialized in mahogany and fancy woods. 



Harrison A. Smith, who has for some time been acting as specail sales 

 agent for the Hardwood Products Company, headquarters at Xeenah, Wis., 

 has taken charge of the eastern sales office. 1 Madison avenue, this city, 

 succeeding O. Leon, who goes to headquarters in the office of the general 

 sales manager. Mr. Smith, who is a director in the company, has been 

 associated with its affairs since starting his business career. Besides 

 his experience in the selling department, he served in the executive office 

 and installed the factory accounting and cost system. 



=•< BUFFALO >• 



The motnbors of the Buffalo Lumber ICxchange are looking forward to 

 the next outing and the committee in charge will arrange a date as soon 

 as the Frost King is in the mood to permit chestnuts to be gathered. As 

 was done last fall, the lumbermen are planning to visit the chestnut
