American Manufacturers' Association. 



A MEETING ot this a.ssociation was held in the Astor House Jan. 10. 

 It was called to order at a:45 P. M., with W. Fred. Quimby 111 thcr^hair. 

 Among those prpseiit were John Bro.:iks ot s>t. Paul; Col. l<clt.:ni. ot 

 'Montoomery Ward X: Co.. Mr. Hibbarrt. Empire Target. (;a.; Harvey 

 McMnrchy. of the Hunter Arms Co. ; C. AA . Dimick, ot the AA^, l<red. 

 QuimbyCo.: T. H. KeUer. of the U. S. Cartridge Co. ; M. F, fjiiidsley. 

 of the American Wood Powder <:;o. ; F. M. Beldeu. ot Colt s Pat.;Tit l< ire- 

 arms Co.: Ci- H. Squires and John Parker, besides representalo es ul 

 the sporting and city press. 



It -was offloiallv given out that since the last nieetma JlontKomery 

 AA^ard & Co. and the Empire Target Co. had nomed the associatiou. 



Air Dimick opened the business ot the day by sua ni.a that he 

 wanted to go on record as tavoring a consolidation ot the Aineri..;an 

 Manufacturers' Association with the Interstate ^lamitacturers and 

 Dealers' Association. He said that as the result of a conversation with 

 Mr Dressel- of t he latter association, he believed the matter could be 

 brought about without friction, and would result to the mutual Ijenelit 

 of both- No delimte action was taken with retei euce to Mr. Dinimick ,s 

 remarks at this time. Imt later the sub.iect came up again, and dwasive 

 action was then taken. 



Harvey McMurcliv proposed that articles of aareemeut be at cuu-e 

 drawn up for the, signature ot members ot the association sett iuk 

 f.-irth its ends and anus, as well as the amount for which each should 

 be assessable- His motion was carried and a committee consisting ot 

 Krller- McAlurchv ami Hipiu-es was apjiointed by the chau-, winch 

 shortly reported the tollowiug agreement: 



We. the undersigned, agree to pay a hrst assessment ot %50 and 

 other assessments as called for, not to exceed isJaU tor the year 

 Members ot the association wiU be asked to sign this m cou.iunciion 

 v\'itli the prospe<;;tus already issued. 



The subject of a single large tent tor aU exhibitors, which liail been 

 discussed at the previous meeting, was again brought up. Air. Beldeii 

 spoke in favor of this arrangement, as likewise did Mr. Qumiby. The 

 motion that had heen made to this eftect -svas unanimously carried 

 and a committee appointed to pri;ioure the tent. 



For the governm.^nt ot tournanieiits to be held the rules of the 

 4-inericau Shooting Association revised to date were adopted. 



Mr Belden made some very pithy remarks m favor ot consolidation 

 of the two associations whose obieots were to promote trap shooting, 

 premising what he said with the statement that as yet. the Colt s Pat- 

 ent Firearms company had cast their lot with neither and hiuiUy 

 framed a motion to the eftect that a oomniittee ot three be appomted 

 to Invite the other a.ssociation to meet m friendly conterence with a 

 view toward consohdation. Mr. (Quimby seconded Mr. Belden s mo- 

 tion and spoke m tayor ot consohdation. Resunnng the chair he ap- 

 pointed as a committee tor tlus purpose Messrs. Belden, Dinuck and 

 AlcMurchy. The latter promptly resig-ned. saying it would be nujjr.s- 

 sible for htm to serve ou ao.--oinjt ot biismess engagements. Air. lieb
