NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WASTE MATERIAL 

 DEALERS 



THE ANNUAL MEETING of the National Association of Waste 

 Material Dealers took place at the Hotel A,stor, New York, 

 on the 16th of March, preceded on the 14th and ISth by the meet- 

 ings of the various divisions. 



Frank C. Overton, of Castle, Gott- 

 heil & Overton, of New York, dealers 

 in paper stock, was unanimously 

 elected president of the Association for 

 the ensuing year, succeeding F. W. 

 Reidenbach. 



In his address Mr. Overton made a 

 strong plea for the support of the in- 

 dividual members in maintaining the 

 dignity and advancing the standing of 

 the Association by the addition to its 

 membership of responsible, well- 

 meaning concerns in the waste busi- 

 ness. There is no room in the Associa- 

 tion for concerns or individuals who 

 do not value the standards of business 

 integrity that the Association advo- 

 cates. 



President Overton summarized the accomplishment of the Na- 

 tional Association by saying that it started without any recog- 

 nized rules of trade, without any standard gradings for material, 

 without any recognition whatever among the mills, but that it has 

 now reached a point where it is recognized by the people from 

 whom it buys, to whom it sells, by the railroads over which it 

 ships and by the steamship lines which bring its merchandise 

 from abroad, and as time goes on its power will increase and 

 more recognition will be given to its legitimate wishes. 



SECRETARY'S REPORT 



Secretary Charles M. Haskins in his annual report said that 

 "One of the most encouraging accomplishments during the
