A Forester's Directory 



The American Forestry Association wishes to compile and to keep up 

 to date, a directory of foresters, in the United States, its possessions, 

 i Canada and Mexico. 



This will be of considerable benefit to the members of the profession, 

 as the Association is frequently asked for information concerning the 

 whereabouts of foresters, and is also often asked to recommend foresters 

 for various positions. 



The American Forestry Association therefore requests each forester, 

 \vhether he is a member of the Association or not, to send his full name, 

 address, name of school or schools of which he is a graduate, and the 

 j feature, if any particular one, of his profession, in which he specializes. 



This directory will be kept up to date from year to year, and will be \ 

 available for any inquirers at any time.

Apple wood, used almost exclusively for saw handles, also furnishes the material for many 

 so-called brier-wood pipes and particularly for the large wooden type used in printing signs and 

 posters. 



Boxwood Expensive 



One of the most expensive woods used regularly in an established industry in the United 

 States is boxwood, the favorite material for wood engraving. It has been quoted at four cents a 

 cubic inch, and about $1,300 by the thousand board feet.
