With the Trade 



From a "Buck Private" to a Lieutenant in Eight Months! 



Lieutenant li. P. Huddleston enlisted In the 7th Regiment of New Yon 

 on July 20, 1917. On August 16 he was transferred with some 350 others 

 to the 69th Regiment. On September 5 he was promoted to a sergeant, 

 and on October 29, 1917, sailed for "over there" with the Rainbow Division. 



He was not long in actual service "over there" when he was recom- 

 mended for further promotion. So after a term in a training school he 

 was on May 13 commissioned a lieutenant, as of April 1. 191S. 



This most rapid advance on the part of "R. P.," as he is best known by 

 bis business associates and friends, is no surprise, as he has simply car- 

 jii-.l into bis military endeavor the same characteristics he showed in his 



l.i.nlmant Huddleston is the oldest son of R. S. ITuddleston, president 



111' thr lluddleston-Marsh Mahogany Company, Chicago and New York, and 



was a director and department manager in that firm at the time he enlisted. 



J. B. Wall Contributes Nobly 



Hardwood Record is indebted to J. B. Wall of tiir Buffalo Hardwood 

 Lumber Company, Buffalo. X, Y., for the photugraidi of his son, John H. 

 Wall, shown on this page. John H. is second lieutenant and is now located 

 in charge of soldiers working in one of the sawmills at Aberdeen, Wash. 



Maurice A. Wall, another son, is with the 311th Infantry and is now 

 corporal serving somewhere in France. 



John H. is twenty-six years old and Maurice A. is twenty-nine years 



of age. Both boys were with their father at Buffalo tor a number of years 



before going into the service, and had been on the road in the sales end. 



E. D. Galloway 



Through the death of E. D. lialloway at Howell. Mich., on Saturday. 

 June 29, one of the most widely kmnvn imii in the hardwood field passed 

 away. Mr. Galloway was sixty eight years old and had been active in the 

 lumber Inisiness for a great many years, and had probably covered more 

 milage in his travels around among the trade than almost any other man 



He died suddenly of heart failure when seemingly he was in good con- 

 dition. He had returned a couple of days before from the forty-fifth anni- 

 versary meeting of his class at Ann Arbor. Mich., having graduated from 

 that famous institution forty-six years ago. It was a singular tact that 

 Mr. Galloway died in the house in which he was born, and in which he 

 had lived all of his life except for a few years spent outside, and which 

 since the death of his parents he had owned personally. 



Mr. Galloway is known practically from coast to coast and from the 

 gulf to the lakes. He had always been closely associated with the selling 

 end of the business and had substantial interests in hardwoods. He was 

 best known for his association in the Galloway-Pease Company, located 

 at Saginaw, Mich., and Poplar Bluff, Mo., and Chicago. The sales offices are 

 now in Chicago, M. L. Pease being located here in that connection. 



Mr. Galloway was buried on Monday, July 1. He leaves his widow, who

 future and that he has nothing to aiiii.iniirr i.-anliug his plans. The 

 leasing company will bring its timber mipiiIv ti. M.niiihis from timberlands
