HARDWOOD RECORD 



34M 



Buffalo lias done her part nobly, and all we 

 are waiting for now is tlie vaudeville girls. 

 (Laughter and applause".) It' they have them 

 here we want them to bring them on and 

 submit llirm to the approval of '.lark' 

 Scatcherd and myself. Thai is all there is to 

 it." (Great applause and laughter.) 



Then followed some very acceptable vaude- 

 ville, and interspersed between the numbers 

 the entire crowd sang sundry songs, both old 

 ami new, intended to cheer and dissipate any 

 possible attack of blues. The various songs 

 included a stein song: 



For it's always fair weather 

 When good fellows get together, 

 With a stein on the table 

 And a good song ringing clear. 



And then followed "Dixie Land," "Teas- 

 ing," "My Old Kentucky Home," refrain 

 from "Egypt," "Blue Bell," "Old Folks 

 at Home" and the chorus of "I've Got a 

 Feeling for You": 

 Way down in my heart I've got a feelin' for 



you, 

 And if we should part I'd be a kneelin' to you, 

 If you'd say the word I'd go a stealin' for you. 

 'Cause I've got a sneaky feelin' for you — ■ 

 you. 



A "foolish song" rendered by one of the 

 vaudeville performers, which met with con- 

 siderable acclaim, was entitled "Hardwood 

 Men ' ' : 



A trim craft came a sailing down Lake Erie, 



She was due in Buffalo about noon; 

 The Hardwood Men all thought her lumber 

 laden, 

 So they all went out to inspect her soon. 

 Secretary Vinnedge said to Agler "She's from 

 Chicago," 

 Billle Bennett said "She's loaded with Stone 

 or Korn." 

 Jess Thompson asked Bill Russe if Eddie 

 Goodlander, 

 Jones from Boston said "Please save her 

 from the storm." 



Knight and Stimson stood 'neath an old apple 

 tree 



On the shores of dear old Lake Erie: 

 And President Palmer was sore when the 

 craft went ashore. 



John N. Scatcherd said "Something doing 

 for me." 

 Gabe Elias, the fair sex committee, 



Told Stewart. Yeager was a busy bee. 

 I asked Frank Vetter last fall, could hardwood 

 plank make M. M. Wall, 



In the shade of an old apple tree? 

 From the fact that all seriousness was 

 taken away from the entertainment and the 

 guests were permitted to have entire freedom 

 of voice in the entertainment function, the 

 affair passed off with great favor by all 

 concerned. The entertainment was unique in 

 many ways, and the cutting out of the set 

 and staid speeches that are ordinarily in- 

 dulged in at banquets was really appreciated 

 by the members, who were tired from two 

 long days of convention business. The model 

 of entertainment set by the Buffalo hosts 

 very likely will be followed by many other 

 lumber conventions in the future.

Buffalo Convention Notes. 



A few facts about Memphis, the next meet- 

 ing place of the National Hardwood Lumber 

 Association, may be of interest. Memphis, it 

 is alleged, is the largest hardwood producing 

 lumber market in the world. It is the largest 

 inland cotton market in the world. It pro- 

 duces more cotton-seed products than any 

 other city. It has the largest artesian wa- 

 ter system in the country. It has twenty 

 banks and four trust companies, with a capi- 

 tal and surplus of $6,000,000 and deposits 

 of $30,000,000 doing business there. The 

 city claims the lowest death rate of any city 

 above 100,000 population in the United States, 

 being less than ten per cent per thousand, 

 white population. It has ten social clubs, a 

 boat club, eight gun and fishing clubs, three 

 country clubs, five business clubs and three 

 public libraries. Memphis has seven commer- 

 cial organizations interested in the develop- 

 ment aud improvement of the city; Il's 

 churches; sixty-five schools, colleges and sem- 

 inaries; 900 manufacturing enterprises; six- 

 theaters; two race tracks; a complete system 

 of electric street railway; twenty hotels; thir- 

 ty-three wholesale grocery houses; twenty six 

 local steamboat packets; 250 miles of turn- 

 pike; 1,000 acres in public parks; and a corn- 

 plete sewer system. The clearing house re- 

 ceipts ut' 1!">4 aggregated if 1' li;,nT>4,3l'o, 

 while the postoffice receipts were nearly 

 $41111,000. The building improvements for 

 1904 aggregated over $4,500,000, while the 

 real estate transfers amounted to nearly $8,- 

 000,000. The present population of the 

 city is approximately ion, nun and tlio city is 

 .-: railroad center tor nil tin- important lines in 

 tlie South. The energy of the Memphis hard- 

 w I operators is proverbial, and the reputa- 

 tion of their hospitality is world wide. It 

 goes without saying that the next convention 

 of the National Hardwood Lumber Associa- 

 tion will be magnificently entertained bj 



.Memphis.

Much lo their regret, John .1. Stopper and 

 !■'. P.. Folsom of the WiHiamspoTl Hardwood 

 Lumber Company arrived at Buffalo just 

 twi 'in; four hours too late to take 

 ion.
