Promising Plans for Wholesalers' Annual 



Reports received at association headquarters, 66 Broadway, indicate 

 that the twenty-fourth annual meeting of the National Wholesale Lumber 

 Dealers' Association, at Philadelphia, Pa., Wednesday and Thursday, March 

 15 and 16, Bellevue-Stratford hotel, will be very largely attended. Presi- 

 dent Gordon C. Edwards was in New York last week and with E. F. 

 Perry, secretary, attended a conference in Philadelphia with J. Randall 

 Williams, B. Franklin Betts and George F. Craig of the local committee. 

 The program for the business sessions will include prominent topics and 

 advices received indicate that there will be some good discussion's on 

 lumber credits, embargoes against lumber and building material, terms of 

 sale, the merchandising of lumber, and the value of the salesmen. Within 

 a few days the committee will be in position to announce its program com- 

 plete. At the banquet to be held on Thursday evening several speakers 

 of national and international reputation will give a message suitable to 

 the time and occasion. A large number of reservations have already been 

 made for banquet tickets. Ladies will participate in the banquet with the 

 men and be present at the after-dinner speeches. On Wednesday evening 

 a reception will be tendered to the members and guests by the Philadelphia 

 \Vholesale Lumber Dealers' Association — this will be for both gentlemen 

 and ladies. The hotels report a large number of reservations, and as 

 most of the members will want to be at the association headquarters they 

 are urged to arrange for accommodations promptly.

 to Secretary Lank of the number of cars of lumber received and just
