  • COLUMBUS OFFICE (Concluded) Red Jacket News Mr. A. C. Cook, our Southern Ohio representative, is once more at the head of the list of Salesmen for July sales, with Mr. R. S. Harder of Canada next in line. We believe, however, that some of the others of our Sales Force are entitled to honorable mention for their sp'endid work during the month of July. Mr. R. D. Stockdale Mr. R. D. Stockdale, who represents us in the state of Indiana, has been doing some very fine constructive work which in the near future should result in a nice volume of business from that terri- ler and we are looking forward to being able to place his "name at ths top of the Salesmen's list soon. Mr. T. Fitzgerald, our Northern Ohio representative, is also send.ng in a larger number of orders than for the past few months and is making some headway in securing new business. We anticipate a goodly tonnage from his territory. The past month has been a record one for our Bookkeeper, Mr. I. A. Bender. In addition to having taken care of his duties in the office, he has sold fifty-six cars of Red Jacket and Pocahontas coal in the city of Columbus. It must be pretty hard sledding for some of the retail coal dealers these days when they find it necessary to carry such a diversified line as one of the principal yards in Greenville, Ohio, as witness the copy of their sign sent in by our Mr. Fitzgerald: "Dealers in Coal, Cigars, Tobacco, Chewing Gum, Soap and Matches."

Meter reading 86,452, with 6% endmatcher waste. This meter reading beats all preceding records. You have heard the story of the fellow who made a wagon body and marked the letter "B" on the front end for before and "B" on the rear end for behind. Well, Arthur Watkins exemplified this when he was ripping beech and birch. He ripped a buggy load of beech and put the letter "B" on the buggy, then ripped a load of birch and put the letter "B" for birch, and Roy Crisp, gauger, had to call Ed Craddock to see which was which. "It is the duty of a citizen, not only to observe the law, but to let it be known that he is opposed to its violation."—President Cool- Estel Bennett, daughter of E. Bennett, Hazel Creek Lumber Hustler. Nearly all accidents are common accidents, the kind that happen time after time and because these are common the reasons for them are also common.—Canada Lumberman. Mr. T. Fitzgerald tory. As the readers of the "Bark" well know, Mr. Stockdale is a hust- Jack Bryant, Charles Wilson, Henry Franklin, Ed. Wilson and Joe Rickman on their way to Bryson City, Tennessee, June 28th.
