B 993 — Wants to Investigate Possibilities of Using Dimension 



A short time ago Hardwuod Record i-eceived a letter from a 



manufacturer in Xcw York asking for information as to tlie pos- 

 sibilities of using dimension in the manufacture of his goods. 

 On writing for more specific information this company has an- 

 swered as follows: 



Rochester, N. Y., February ID. — Answering yours of the 1.5th, what 

 we are particularly interested in at the present time is 3/4 or 3/8 

 quartered and plain oak dimension stock. Also some poplar and beech. 

 We have never used dimension stock, nor have we gone into it far 

 enough to know approximately how much we would use. It is somethiug 



nc\\ wiiiili w c ;ir 

 people in this liu< 



ronsidering and W(; 

 Thanking you for 



wimld like to get in touch with 

 any information you may give us. 



Evidently this is an opportunity for somebody who has worked 

 up tlie dimension game far enougli to be able to advise tliis inquirer 

 jjroperly. The name can be secured on writing Hardwood Eecoud.

B 994 — Weights of Hardwoods in the Log 



Ne-IIa-Sa-N'e, X. V., Febiuary 4. — Editor Haiidwood Uecokd : To the 

 best of your knowledge X wish you would tell what you consider beech, 

 birch and maple logs to weigh to the thousand feet, Doyle Scale, after 

 they liave been cut for three months. 



F. A. Gavlord^ 

 Forester and Superintendent Ne-IIa-Sa-Ne Park Association. 



t)li\iously an authoritative answer to this inquiry is very difficult. 

 Hardwood Record lias advised Mr. Gaylord that the approximate 

 weight should be birch, 9,000 pounds, maple, 11,500 pounds, ami 

 beech, 13,000 pounds. There are so many conditions that should be 

 taken into consideration that sliould qualify these figures that they are 

 given only as an estimate. If anybody has worked out specific figures 

 covering this inquiry Hardwood Record would appreciate seeing the 

 information. — Editor.

Clubs and Associations 



Memphis Lumbermen Given Important Work 



The lumber trade was well rtpi e.-ented at the recent annual meeting 

 of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, Memphis particularly 

 having a strong delegation. John W. McClure represented the Sduthern 

 Hardwood Traffic Association, James E. Stark represented the Business 

 Men's Club and Col. S. B. Anderson represented the Tennessee Manufac- 

 turers' Association. 



While at Washington Mr. McClure was chosen as chairman of the 

 Tennessee delegation and also served as a member of the nominating 

 committee. Col. Anderson was elected to the directorate of the Chamber 

 of Commerce for the ensuing year, and as there are only twenty-four 

 business men represented on this body the importance of the position can 

 be realized.
