is here in the interests of that organization. 

 Mr. Palmer feels that a state which manu- 

 facturers between three and four hundred 

 million feet of hardwood lumber a year, and 

 which has only thirty members in his organ- 

 ization, is not well represented, but we will 

 let Mr. Palmer tell his own story. 



Mr. Palmer — It is with pleasure that I ac- 

 cept this opportunity so kindly extended by 

 your president to make a few remarks, and to 



have been culled upon to put forth in the 

 association. Now that you are 

 so firmly and comfortably established here nt 

 It Is my desire to direct your attention 

 ids of effort that presents Itself 

 to us lumbermen. Some of us are anxbm 

 develop upon a national scale an organization 

 that shall be to the hardwood trade of the en- 

 tire country what your association Is to the 

 hardwood trade of Wisconsin, and It Is for the 

 purpose of directing your attention to this work 

 and enlisting yom- cooperation In Its fina 



compllshmenl that I am here today. As an 



noun. president, I d

Mi Humphrey returned from the Buffalo 

 Ing, be was proud i ttlon, 



for it was st thai meeting thai n mlrc 



hardwood trade on ..f 



the importance of the work thai la being car- 

 >n by tbat association. 



I shall attempt to submit s brlel outline ..f 

 what ibis wort consists, and the manm 

 which it is tnins can:.-. I ..in. I can best do 

 that by telling you that, in a general way, Hie 

 National association is doing f..r the entire 

 country just what your association Is <!<»lng 

 for the lumbermen here In your -lai. \,,u 

 assemble your members from various pans ,.f 

 the state for the purpose 



and means by which the general welfare of the 

 trade can be advanced : In a similar manner 

 the National assoi latlon assembles its members 

 from over twenty differei o consider 



what would best be done. Much good cannot 

 fall to result from Buch an association <-f <-n 

 deavor. A broader fellowship In trade Is I. 

 i: more unity ..f action results. 



While the National association confers these 

 general benefits upon the general trade, the 

 lai.-st feature that it presents-- the keystone to 

 its arch of progress is the manner In which 

 It handles the problem of Inspection This qties- 

 tion is vital to every member of the trade. The 

 question of inspection cut. irgelj into 



determining whether a profll and loss account 

 shall be closed on the . redll <.r .lcl.lt side of the 

 ledger, it is upon this thai the National asso- 

 ciati.in concentrates the larger portion of Its 

 efforts. 



It is proper for me to state that only mem- 

 bers of the National association can partli 

 In the ben from its system of 



inspection. It is nol foi me to say 



unbermen .-i W Isi onsln In

 have bad much t" .1" with the production of 

 these rules. They are used here In your
