A New Association Proposed 



The dimension factories of Missouri. .Arkansas. Mississippi. Kentucky 

 and Tennessee may form an ns.soclatlon. The plan has been discussed. 

 The Idea Is to organize the mills which produce hickory, ash, oak and 

 other hardwoods In those states. Stock for chairs and wagons will fall 

 wltbln the scope of the proposed new association. A meeting for the 

 purpose of discussing the matter may be held In Memphis early in the 

 coming year. 



Detroit's Lumber Board of Trade 



The business men of Detroit. .Mlcli.. have orcanizcd a strong lumber 

 board of trade, which will represent woodworklnB interests as well ns 

 lumber. The organization started off -.vltb 110 members on the evening' 

 of November 9. when a meeting was held at Hotel Statler In that city. 



The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association was represented at 

 the meeting by E. A. Sterling, manager >of the association's trade cjiten- 

 slon department. He was one of the principal speakers at the meeting. 

 The board of trade was organized to promote every legitimate use of 

 wood and to counteract false and misleading statements published regard- 

 ing lumber; to educate lumbermen themselves to use better merchandising 

 methods, to maintain a permanent exhibit of wood products, to furnish 

 Information to the public regarding wood preservatives, and proper selec- 

 tion of materials. 



The meeting in Itself was a notable affair not only in the matter of 

 attendance, but In the spirit shown, and in the character of the ad- 

 dresses. The local committee on arrangements consisted of W. E. Brown- 

 _ lee of the Brownlce Company, Jeff B. Webb, .Morgan Sash & Door Com- 

 pany, J. J. Comerford, president, Detroit Lumber Company, Thos. Forman, 

 president, Thos. Forman Company, J. F. Deacon of the credit bureau, am] 

 W. A. C. Miller, president of the W. A. ('. Miller Company, who acted 

 ns toastmastcr. 



The example of Detroit in forming a luniLier board of trade for the 

 legitimate promotion of the local lumber trade shows that a new spirit 

 Is aliroad in the land of tlic lumbermen. It means that If units of this 

 kind are created and become active in various sections that the ultimate 

 goal of national lumber trade extension will he easy of aecompllshment 

 and more promptly attained. 



Southern Cypress Association in Annual 



The annual meeting of the Soulhern Cypress .Manufacturers' Associa- 

 tion was held at Jacksonville, Fla.. on November l.s. The chief work 

 before the association was a revision of grading and classification rules.

 of cypress were the result of long study by a special committee having 

 that work in charge. The rules as adopted arc .substantially as recom- 

 mended t.v this committee. They will go Into effect January 1, ini«.- 



The question of trade-marking lumber. Its effect In stabilizing tbo 

 lumber business and the excellent progress made along these lines In con- 

 nection with cypress occupied a good deal of attention. 



William Petrie. who has been acting in the capacity of assistant secre- 

 tary of the association, and has had charge of the .lacksonvllle branch, 

 was elected to that position on a permanent basis. Other subjects dis- 

 cussed were the trade extension work in the National Lumber Manufac- 

 turers' Association, the question of fire retardant lumber discussed by Dr. 

 Hermann von Schrcnk of St. Louis and location of next meeting place.
