THE 



HARDWOOD MANUFACTURERS' 

 INSTITUTE 



WHAT IT IS 



Hardwood Manufacturers' Institute is an organ- 

 ization composed of hardwood lumber producers or 

 manufacturers. It is designed to be national in scope in 

 respect to membership, and national and even internation- 

 al in the scope of the service it will render manufacturers 

 and consumers of hardwood lumber. 



While for obvious reasons its actual membership is con- 

 fined to bona fide producers of hardwood lumber and hard- 

 wood forest products, it welcomes, invites and desires the 

 views and the fullest sort of consultation and conference 

 with all having knowledge of any branches of the subject, 

 especially consumers using hardwood forest products, as it 

 realizes that the best interests of both are indissolubly uni- 

 ted, and that what is best suited to serve the consumer is 

 the most desirable for the producer. 



It realizes the imperative necessity of keeping the con- 

 trol and policies of the industries free from influences which 

 prevent its serving best the interests of production, con- 

 sumption and conservation.
