Preparations for Hardwood Convention 



The latest issue of the ofllcial bulletin of the National Hardwood Lumber 

 Association has the following to say regarding the twenty-fourth annual 

 convention of the association, that will be held in Philadelphia, Pa., at 

 the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, June 9 and 10 : 



"As preparations for our convention In Philadelphia next June go 

 forward and prospects pertaining to the occasion begin to take definite 

 shape, it becomes increasingly certain that this year's meeting will out- 

 class all of its predecessors in the long line of successful meetings from 

 which it descends. This is saying a good deal, but what has already 

 developed fully Justifies the statement. 



"Plans are being made to take care of a record-breaking attendance. 

 Indications are that in addition to the large turnout made up of all of 

 our members and friends who regularly attend our conventions, there will 

 be present this year strong contingents from sections which in the past 

 have been represented but lightly, if at all. at these gatherings. This Is 

 especially so in relation to the West Virginia and the Virginia-Carolina 

 hardwood centers and districts and other South Atlantic and Gulf terri- 

 tory. From New York City, Boston. Baltimore, Buffalo and Pittsburgh 

 have come assurances that our constituents in those markets will be on 

 hand in their respective entireties. All of the sections further west are 

 arranging to send more than their usual convention quotas, and on the 

 whole an unprecedented registration is certain. 



"The program which Is now being collated will be cast to the assured 

 calibre of the occasion it will represent. In other words, every possible 

 facility and resource will he drawn up to make it a masterpiece of its 

 kind, and one which will stand as a landmark in the history of trade 

 association conventions."
