a Louisiana member of the National Commis- 

 sion on rniform Legislation, asliing that the 

 association indorse the passage of the uniform 

 bill of lading law framed by the commission. 

 During the discussion which followed Mr. Palmer 

 reviewed his investigation of the bill two years 

 ago and expressed the opinion that its adop- 

 tion would be in some respects a step back- 

 ward. Resolutions were adopted in favor of uni- 

 form state laws governing bills of lading. 



Resolutions on the death of R. Lee Riggs were 

 adopted, and copies of same were ordered sent 

 to the family of the deceased and to the firm of 

 which he was a member. 



On motion, the election of a first vice-presi- 

 dent to succeed C. W. Robinson, resigned, was 

 postponed until the Jiine meeting. 



Recent Michigan Organization 



Tae Cartior-Holland Luralier Company has 

 been organized at Ludington. Mich., for the pur- 

 pose of doing a general manufacturing and whole- 

 saling business of forest products, and to deal in 

 timber and cut-over lands. The Cartier-HoUand 

 Lumber Company is a partnership concern, the 



made some remarkable sales, and in a great many 

 cases he has sold to customers whom his own 

 salesmen could scarcely approach. His policy is 

 to get into the man's factory and lumber yard, 

 see Just what he is buying and what he is using 

 his lumber for. and then try to give him some- 

 thing that will actually save him money over 

 what he has been getting. 



The Cartier-Holland company expects to make 

 Michigan hardwoods its long suit, although white 

 pine and hemlock will be handled to a large ex- 

 tent on account of the fact that those two species 

 are heavily blended with Michigan hardwoods. 

 The company's office is located at the foot of 

 James street in Ludington. adjacent to the mill, 

 which is a modern band mill of about 10,000,000 

 feet annual capacity. 



Mr. Holland's close touch with the consuming 

 trade will undoubtedly serve as one of the strong- 

 est assets of the new enterprise. There is abso- 

 lutely no question but what the Cartier-Holland 

 Lumber Company will in a few years have as- 

 sumed a position as one of the leading hardwood 

 manufacturing and w'holesale concerns in Mich- 

 igan.

 Cemetery. 



The deceased had been president of the Balti- 

 more Lumber Exchange four times. In addition 

 to his connection with the lumber exchange, of 

 which he was one of the charter members. Mr. 

 Price was prominently associated with other co- 

 operative and philanthropic organizations, 

 notably the National Lumber Exporters" Associa- 

 tion, of which he was treasurer from the time 

 that body was organized until the last annual 

 meeting. 



The managing committee of the Baltimore 

 Lumber Exchange and the National Lumber Ex- 

 porters' Association held special meetings and 

 adopted resolutions expressive of the great loss 

 sustained by the trade and the city of Balti- 

 more in the death of Mr. Price, and the various 

 institutions with which Mr. Price had been con- 

 nected did likewise. 



Mr. Price came of an old lumber family. The 

 history of his firm can be traced back as far 

 perhaps as 1820. when a grandfather of the 

 lately deceased engaged in the business, the

principals of which are Charles E. Cartier and 

 Edward M. Holland, btith of Ludington. These 

 gentlemen have been actively interested in the 

 lumber business a great many years, and have 

 achieved remarkable success in their particular 

 lines. 



Mr. Cartier has been affiliated with the lumber 

 and wood-working business for the past sixteen 

 years. He was formerly with the Cartier Lum- 

 ber Company, and at a later date with the A. E. 

 Cartier Sons Company. For the past two years 

 he was president of the latter concern, taking 

 that position on the death of his father, .\. E. 

 Cartier. Mr. Cartier has also been actively in- 

 terested in politics in his home town, havitig 

 served faithfully as mayor, and for the past two 

 .vears as state senator of Michigan. 



Mr. Holland's experience in the manufactur- 

 ing and wholesaling of lumber covers a period of 

 fourteen years. This time has been spent most- 

 ly in tbe employ of two concerns, namely, the 

 Fuller & Rice Lumber & Manufacturing Company 

 of Grand Rapids, Mich., and the Stearns Salt & 

 Lumber Company of Ludington. Mr. Holland 

 has achieved his unusual success largely because 

 of his remarkable ability to analyze the require- 

 ments of the consuming trade. This ability is 

 backed up by great perseverance, absolute fair- 

 ness in all business transactions and his detailed 

 knowledge of every phase of the lumber business 

 from the woods to the car. Mr. Holland has

Death of Kichard Vf. Price 



Richard W. Price, one of the best known hard- 

 wood men in the East and senior member of 

 the firm of Price & Heald, di^ni suddenly at his 

 home, 1229 North Calvert street. May 23. He 

 had been in poor health for some time, and last 

 winter took a trip to California, hoping that the 

 mild climate of the Pacific coast would restore 

 his vitality. After a three months' visit Mr. 

 Price returned home somewhat improved, though 

 still far from a well man. In a short time he 

 had a nervous attack, which greatly prostrated 

 him. but he rallied and even felt well enough 

 to make arrangements for moving out to his 

 farm in Baltimore county, when the fatal attack 

 came. 



The news of Mr. Price's death proved a 

 great shock to his many friends, both in the 

 lumber trade and outside of it. He was held 

 in high esteem and had not only been suc- 

 cessful in business, but devoted much of his 

 lime to philanthropic work. The funeral took 

 place on May 29. having been deferred so long 

 to allow his daughters to get here from Los 

 .\ngeles. The obsequies were largely attended, 

 the managing committee of the Baltimore Lum- 

 ber Exchange, of which Mr. Price had been one 

 of the founders, turning out in a body. The 

 services were conducted by Rev. Edwin Barnes

st.vle of the firm being at one time Thomas & 

 Mills. Later, when the father of Mr. Price, the 

 late Richard A. Price, had attained to man's 

 estate, there was a change to Thomas & Price, 

 Mr. Thomas being the maternal grandfather. 

 This change came about in the year 1841. and re- 

 mained thus until 1865. when Mr. Thomas re- 

 tired, and Mr. Price took into partnership some 

 of his sons, among them Richard W. Price. In 

 1ST4 Richard A. Price retired, and Richard W. 

 Price formed a partnership with John M. D. 

 Heald. a brother-in-law. This partnership has 

 now been dissolved b.y the death of Mr. Price. 

 The latter in course of time took a leading po- 

 sition in tbe trade. He realized at an early 

 day the possibilities of the foreign trade and 

 applied himself to its development with an ear- 

 nestness and an intelligence that won him liberal 

 rewards and the position of great prominence. 

 He was also active in the domestic business 

 and the operations of his firm took on a rapidly 

 widening scope. 



Mr. Price is survived by his wife and one 

 son, Howard O. Price, and two daughters, Mrs. 

 Frank F. Peard, and Miss Sarah B. Price.
