Wll£- B AGt>G©S S+P? News and Personals from the Field should be sent in so as to be in the Editor's hands before the end of the month. Shortening of articles, due to space limitations, sometimes is necessary, but is no reflection upon the contributor. Care will be taken to preserve the writer's meaning in all cases. COLUMBUS OFFICE John Jr., so the story goes, Stayed out late every night. John Sr. chided him in vain, Junior knew he was right. Said Dad, "You're up so plagued late, When comes the break of day, You're fit for nothing in the world But to stay right in the hay. "You've quite forgot, my dear young man, I know it makes you squirm, To hear how Mr. Early Bird Is the gent that gets the worm." But Junior he was blithe and gay, Said he, "Dad, have you thought That this same bird was early up The morning he was caught?" But Dad was wiser than his son; Said he, "Boy, I'll just bet, The worm came home very late, The morning he was et." —Seeengee. After writing the article about the editor and his "speed car" last month, and having it blue-penciled in such a shameful fashion, we hardly have the heart to make another attempt—but "never say die" is our motto. This time we want to criticise the editor and the H. B. for omitting some very valuable information. For instance, our dear editor prints a picture of the Hazel Creek Planing Mill Crew, and gives this very enlightening information below: "It wasn't till we saw this picture that we realized what a good-looking bunch we are." Now, we ask you what good is that going to do us if we don't know their names nor whether they are married or single. To correct the above, we want to suggest the following: Whenever a picture of some very good-looking men or a very good-looking man (as in the case of the leading salesman last month) is printed in the Hardwood Bark, we must demand that their names be printed and the letter "S" or "M" follow such names. So say we all of us! The same pretty (ahem!) steno. "If you don't believe watermel- lons are good eating ask Shawhan,' says E. E. Ritter. It seems that on a recent trip south with "E. E." Shawhan demonstrated his capacity as a consumer of watermellons, and as a result he emphatically stated that he is through eating them for the season. Mr. C. N. Greiner, our energetic Western Division Sales Manager, recently visited one of our good customers, who upon seeing him approach remarked, "Here comes the fellow who sold me several years ago a carload of log run gum so green you could hear the leaves rustle when you walked past the stack." That quite green, if anyone should ask you. But apparently "Clark" made it all right with the customer, for he is a real booster of Ritter products today. There was some inquiry as to whether "J. W." when he left for abroad, walked up the gang plank of the "Cedric" garbed in a barrel. Ask him. SOME SALESMAN Things on the farm were just about as bad as they could be. Wheat had failed, oats went to straw, but no heads, rains rotted out the potatoes and early frosts killed the corn. There wasn't one single money crop. One morning the old farmer looked around to see if there wasn't something which could be turned into a few dollars cash, and his eye lit on the last crop of all—a pile of turnips. "Here, Jed," he said to his son, "put some of these turnips in a bag, drive to town and see if you can sell them." At chore time Jed came driving home. The old man went to the gate to meet him. "Did you sell any turnips, boy?" "Naw! I drove up and down the streets all day and no one asked what I had in the bag." MORAL: Tell everyone, upon whom you call, what you have to sell. That's the only way to create a desire on the part of your prospect to buy. Don't keep your stock list and order book in your pocket. M. E. N. MR. HITTER'S ROLLS ROYCE CAR In the back seat are Mr. Ritter and Mr. C. B. Weakley, while alongside stands the chauffeur, Cliff Napper. HAZEL CREEK HOW THEY CELEBRATED THE FOURTH OF JULY John Burger: Broken knee from falling off a rock. Harmon Oliver: Blistered feet from hiking to the head of Hazel Creek to catch six speckled trout. Gov. Wilson: Sick in bed; he says it's John Burger's cooking, but John says it wasn't the quality but the quantity. "Bobby" Baker: Wet feet, from catching minnows for Ed. Craddock. Ed. Craddock: Landed an 18 inch rainbow trout. Jake Danielson: Landed two 14 inch rainbow trout, one of them taking one hundred yards of line from his reel in the effort. Arnold Moore: Climbed greasy pole. Clinton Medford: Won 100-yard dash. Bill Gilland and Arthur Watkins: Won three legged race. Cloud Crisp: Won hop, skip and jump. Truman Farley: Won broad jump. Dinty Moore: Ate all of Foley Wilson's and Ed Craddock's lunch. Seven

“The Hardwood Bark” was a publication produced “for the employees of the W.M Ritter Lumber Co.” William McClellan Ritter (1864-1952) organized the company in 1901 and, from 1903 until 1926, the company operated on Hazel Creek in Swain County, North Carolina, before moving its operations to Nantahala. Published during the 1920s, the monthly newsletter typically ran to about 25 pages. “The Hardwood Bark” was filled with articles on the Ritter company and the timber industry, but also included local stories. The pages included in this collection were selected because they relate to communities within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The town of Ritter was near the junction of Hazel Creek and the Little Tennessee River; a sawmill was built at Proctor, about four miles north of Ritter. The town of Ritter has long since been abandoned and Proctor is beneath the waters of Fontana Lake.
