CINCINNATI 



W. F. Diiling of the Graham Lumber Company 

 is touring the Middle West, and his reports show 

 good business. 



J. Watt Graham left recently for a short stay 

 in the hardwood regions of the South, looking 

 over his mill interests. 



Owing to the large amount of work coniiected 

 with getting out the big Cincinnati special of 

 the Hakdwood Rkcord, a few errors in names 

 have crept in," and these will not be blamed upon 

 the ojd scapegoat, the "intelligent compositor," 



■ but will be placed upon the shoulders of tie 



■ '■scTlbblcr,'' whose pothooks are'not at" all times 

 "decipherable even' by himself: but mistakes will 

 'occur in the best regulated families, and we 



ask forgiveness for our misguided son, who in 

 the future will pose as the chauffeur of a type- 

 writer when putting proper names over the 



,"*speed line. 



in the description' of the Freiberg Lumber 

 Company the name should 'be Harfy A. Freibferg. 

 In writing of our "grand old mati" of' the 

 hardwood trade, inadver'tently C. -C: ' Boyd was 

 placed under the picture of S.' 'G. Boyd: With 

 Kir. feoyd's forgiveness for this fe'rro'r. i^e hope in 

 the near future to present to the readers of the 

 Hardwood Record an interesting life sketch of 

 tills pioneer of the veneer-cutting industry of 

 the West. C. C. Bo.vd was the original head 

 of the firm years ' ago, but has passed to his 

 leward. 



The line under the cut of the New River 

 Lumber Company's mllf should read Norma, 

 Tenn., instead of Norma, Ky. 



Chester F. Korn, president of the Farrin-Korn 

 Lumber Company, was elected a member of the 

 hoard of directors of the Business Men's Club. 

 A. J. Conroy, widely known furniture man and 

 member of the Queen City Furniture Club, was 



_ made president. As the Business Men's Club is 



"the strongest of its class in the city, the honor 



" is mu'ch sought after. 



\. A. Andridge, former president of the United 

 Mates Tiniber Company, bankrupt, is now a 



,_',l>ufe;tling har'ffvVcfid- dealer witli office in the Mer- 



"(ja'htfle Library' building.'

 city on February i. 2 and ?,. 1910, will be the 

 greatest and niost interesting gathering of lum- 

 ber interests ever held in this country. Invita- 

 tions will be sent out to the hardwood consumers 

 of the country and most interesting speakers 

 have been secured to lecture on the most elabo- 

 rate collection of stereopticon views of "lumber- 

 land" and modes of getting out timber that has 

 ever been presented to the public. No pains will 

 be spared to give a generous welcome to all who 

 attend, as the sessions of the association are all 

 .open to the public and those who attend will be 

 able to enjoy the educational features spread 

 before them by practical lumbermen. This will 

 be a rare educational treat to the consumers, 

 . who will have the art of grading hardwoods 

 elaborately explained. It is expected that the 

 attendance will run into the thousands.
