HARDWOOD RECORD 



.^3 



We may also add, that oui- • company today, fiaaueially and 

 otherwise, is stronger than, it has ever been, and we know of no 

 time when this company failed to meet the payment of any obli- 

 gation at maturity. 



Our sawmill is running ten hours per day, and we expect to 

 continue the same throughout the year. We are supplying our 

 sa^^^nill with logs daily direct from the woods, which means that 

 our logging operations are also a continuous operation when the 

 mill is running. Under this system of operating we have every 

 advantage over others who are obliged to harvest their product 

 iluring the winter months, and we are therefore prepared to furnish 

 not only the regular run stock of lumber, but are in excellent 

 position to furnish odd sizes and lengths of lumber that ordinarily 

 would be hard to furnish from a winter cut stock of logs. 



Our business has been very satisfactory in face of the general 

 complaint made concerning a depressed condition. We could do 

 more business, but are contented with the amount of business 

 done so far this year; and we think we have had a fair share.

The annual base ball game between the wholesalers and retailers will 

 be played on the Strawbridge & Clothiers' Athletic ground, Thursday, 

 July IG, at •> :30 p., m. This game, the proceeds of which are always de- 

 voted to deserving charity, is always popular and largely attended. .\s 

 the wholesalers trounced their customers, the retailers, last year, the lat- 

 ter are up for a severe retaliation, and a stiff game may be looked for. 

 Meetings are being held to decide upon two reliable umpires, and prac- 

 tice games are played In strict secrecy as a preparation. James P.. Mc- 

 Farland, Jr., has been selected as captain for the wholesalers, and Joseph 

 Hyde will act for the retailers. 



Philadelphians Have Enjoyable Outing 

 The Sawdust Club of the Union League, Philadelphia, as guests of the 

 newest baby member, I';iigene W. Fry, president of the Henrico Lumber 

 Company, spent a delectable three days' outing — June 26, 27 and 2.S — at 

 the Egypt Mills Club, Egypt Mills, Pike County, Pa. At 12 :15 on Friday. 

 June 26, a lively bunch of sixteen in distinctly receptive mood for scenes 

 and sports bucolic, met at the Union League where automobiles were in 

 waiting for the start. The club grounds are located in one of the most 

 beautiful sections of Pennsylvania, about four miles above Berkshire 

 Falls, where after a speed through an ever-changing environment of hill, 

 valley, undulating sward and lucid stream, stopping only occasionally 

 for a draught of ginger ale ( ?) and other light refreshments, they ar- 

 rived at about six o'clock. After the regalement of a finely appointed 

 dinner, the evening was devoted to promiscuous story telling, and as 

 John T. Riley is a born reconteur, his listeners were kept in roars of 

 laughter. On Saturday morning a number of the party selected to motor 

 through the surrounding country ; a few who are devotees of the gentle 

 art of Izaak Walton, wended their way with pretentious hook and line 

 lo the hshing streams for which this locality Is so renowned. With what 

 success they faithfully tickled their waters Is a part of the story that 

 has not as yet been told. Eight of the party branched off to Buckwood 

 Inn Court, Shawnee, where they spent the afternoon wholly absorbed in 

 their favorite game of golf. The evening brought them all together 

 again In delightful camaraderie, which they made the most of as they 

 realized such an enjoyable rural frolic was not an every-day blessing. 

 On Sunday afternoon they started for home — the day was fine, and the 

 trip without stop except for long distance halts for a cooling ( '!) draught 

 for dust lined throats, until they reached the Huntingdon Valley Inn. 

 where they partook of a sumptuous dinner, which wound up what was 

 unanimously pronounced the most enjoyable picnic ever conceived and 

 carried out by this association of jolly good fellows. 



A Correction in National Convention Report 



In the report of the seventeenth annual convention of the National 

 Hardwood Lumber Association, Hakdwood Recokd said that President 

 Babcock was nominated by H. R. Humphreys of the Aberdeen Lumber 

 Company, Kttsburgh, Pa. This report is correct as far as the name is 

 concerned, but Mr. Humphreys Is not connected with the Aberdeen Lum- 

 ber Company of I'ittsburgh, but is president of the Hadentine Lumber 

 Company, Camden, .N. J. 



Summer Meeting of Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Association 



The bulletin of the Northern Hemlock and Hardwood Manufacturers' 

 Association announces that the regular summer meeting of that organi- 

 zation will be held at Menominee-Marinette, July 28-29. In addition to 

 the business sessions the meeting will feature some attractively arranged 

 social entertainments, hence the decision to make it a two days' session 

 instead of one. 



The business sessions will be of vital interest to every member, one 

 of the most important reports being that of the advertising committee. 

 at which complete statistics will be offered showing the actual results 

 of the advertising campaign. 



The usual excellent report of the bureau of grades will be presented 

 and, in addition, J. E. Rhodes, secretary of the National Lumber Manu- 

 facturers' Association, will talk on general business conditions. 



A treat is promised in an address on fireprooflng of woods. Other 

 interesting and helpful talks will be the report of the railway and 

 legislative committees, discussion of the work of the Chamber of Com- 

 merce of the United States of America, and the report of the efficiency 

 committee. 



The business session will take place on the first day entirely, and 

 the second day will be devoted to an excursion across Green Ba., tt 

 the state park. Local lumbermen have provided an automobile ride for 

 the ladies, which will take place at 2 :00 p. m. on Tuesday, while visiting 

 men will be entertained similarly in the afternoon immediately on con- 

 clusion of the second session. The party will return to the hotel about 

 U :30 or 7 :00 p. m. and all will dine at the Hotel Menominee at about 8 :00. 



On Wednesday everybody will leave Menominee by steamer at about 

 9 :oO a. ra.. going to Fish Creek and Ephraira, Wisconsin state park. 

 Dinner will be served at Eagle Inn, Ephraim, at 12 :.30. From there 

 the steamer will take them to Sister Bay, from which point the party 

 win return to Menominee at about 5 :00 or 5 :30, thus enabling out-of- 

 town people to get their supper and catch the evening train to con- 

 necting points.
