American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association Adopts Terms 

 of Sale 

 The executive committee of the- Auierkau llurdwoud Manufacturers' 

 Association has adopted the following terms of sale and recununended 

 them to the membership of this organization, with the request that they 

 not only be used but that they be printed in the body of all letters deal- 

 ing with (luotatlons or the sale of southern bardwoods : 



A disii.unt of 2'; win lie alloweil upon cash payment of OO'.i of invoice, 

 less estimated IrelKbt. on receipt of Invidce, balance to be remitted upon 

 receipt and inspeition of lumber: or 



A discount of 1', will \if alloweil for settlement by trade acceptance, 

 due thirty days rri>ij] ilale ,,f invoice for 90% of invoice, less estimated 

 freight, lialaiiee i.. In- rendticil upon receipt and inspection ot lumber; or 



" ""' ' ■" "" days from date of Invoice, for 



90% of invoice, less 

 estimated freight, bal- 

 ance to be remitted 

 upon receipt and In- 

 spection of lumber. 



No discount allowed 

 on freight, whether or 

 not prepaid. Prices arc 

 ■ased on present pub- 

 lished tariff rates of 

 'relght, and anv in- 

 crease in freight rates 

 or any federal taxes arc 

 to he paid by the pur- 



The committee recog- 

 nizes that these terms 

 are somewhat more lib- 

 eral than those used by 

 veneer Interests and by 

 some other branches of 

 the hardwood trade, but 

 it is anxious that the 

 terms shall be accep- 

 table to practically ail 

 members of the associa- 

 tion and that they shall 

 be used generally. The 

 committee feels that 

 I he same terms should 

 apply on hardwood lum- 



cash thirty days from 

 date of iuvuiee.' It is eunviuccd that such terms are thoroughly justified 

 by the tremendous cash outlay which must be made by manufacturers of 

 hardwood lumber for labor, for logs, for machinery and for practically every 

 item entering Into the cost of manufacture. It recognizes, however, that 

 there are many customs and practices In the sale of hardwood lumber and 

 that these must lie harmonized and unified before such terms are applicable. 

 The hope is therefore expressed that use of the terms already outlined 

 will lead to I he desired uniformity and, in time, to the same terms as 

 apply on veueers and on the items which enter into the cost of hardwood 

 nmnufacturc. 



Uniform terms were fully discussed at the semi-annual meeting ot the 

 association May 25 when the committee thereon made its report. Owing 

 to the fact that there appeared to be considerable differences of opinion, 

 as indicated by majority and minority reports, the subject was referred to 

 the executive committee, with authority to act. The terms announced are 

 directly in line with the authority conferred on the committee at that time. 



Advises Against Procuring Bonds 



The Southern Hardwood TratBc Association has issued a circular letter 

 to its menilifrs advising against procuring bonds covering payment of 

 freight. It points out that these bonds will be allowed only under certain 

 conditions and that the advantages accruing from securing them are 

 hardly worili the trouble Involved.
