Tbe largest and most successful convention ever held by the Ohio 

 .\ssociation of Retail Lumber Dealers has just come to an end In this 

 city. There were 1,000 lumber dealers in the city in attendance on 

 this convention and that of the Union .\ssociation of Lumber, Sash and 

 Door Salesmen, which is always held at the same time. Edward Hines 

 of Chicago made an address before the convention Thursday afternoon. 

 He called upon lumber dealers to wake up, charging that as a body they 

 were asleep at the switch and due to have great inroads made in their 

 source of livelihood unless they arose to the issue. He advocated per- 

 sistent advertising and boosting of lumber. He commended the Ohio 

 mechanic's lien law and declared that it was his intention to "carry 

 it back to Illinois." 



Many speakers took up and discussed the mechanic's lien law and 

 the organization went on record as again endorsing this law which 

 it was claimed had worked out with perfect success for a year and 

 opposing the Lustig bill introduced in the Ohio legislature this week, 

 and designed to absolutely repeal the mechanic's lien law. The program 

 of entertainment closed Friday night with a banquet, smoker, moving 

 picture and vaudeville entertainment, all of which were, as the saying 

 goes, "worth the price of admission." 



The Union Association of Sash and Door Salesmen held a banquet at

 of this association elected were : President, Ralph B. Peck of Toledo ; 

 D. R. Winn, Columbus, vice-president; J. P. Bartelle, Toledo, secretary- 

 treasurer ; John W. Chamberlin, Toledo, and George Swiger, Cleveland,
