ble to be devised to insure and guarantee that the consum- 

 ers and the public will receive, without change or manipula- 

 tion, what they buy and are entitled to receive. There will 

 be provided also a plan and agency for inspection or re- 

 inspection of lumber of such character that the integrity 

 and methods cannot be questioned to assure fairness and 

 justice to all. 



This service will be open and available to everyone, pro- 

 ducer, consumer, dealer or any member of the public, upon 

 the payment of proper fees therefor. 



The Hardwood Manufacturer's Institute looks forward 

 to the early accomplishment of this highly desirable program 

 with the greatest enthusiasm. It is endeavoring to aid in 

 the achievement, and will fully support and conform to these 

 policies, and the measures which may be necessary to make 

 them effective. 



The Policy of the Institute Pending the Completion 

 of the National Standardization Program. 



Until standardized rules, thus scientifically arrived at, are 

 formulated and announced, The Hardwood Manufacturers' In- 

 stitute will use temporarily in the interim the rules adopted at the 

 Louisville meeting, being those which were then in use by the 

 American Hardwood Manufacturers 1 Association; at the same 

 time the Sales Code of the said Association was adopted by the 

 Institute. 



Inspection Service. 



The inspection service of the Institute, for original or re-in- 

 spection service, for domestic or export business is adequate and 

 available and is open to everyone desiring to avail themselves 

 thereof, member and non-member, producer and consumer alike. 



Statistical Service. 



The Institute is just now perfecting plans for an effi- 

 cient statistical service, pursuant to the resolutions adopted 

 at Louisville, as full and adequate as possible, consistent with 

 the legal limitations which must be observed.
