(Red Jacket News) Upon deciding to re-enter the Northwest with our product, all rail, instead of marketing it thru the dock companies in that section which has been the practice for the past several years, it was necessary to add to our Sales Force and we feel we have made a wise choice in obtaining the services of Mr. J.

We are therefore confident that we are well represented in the territory he travels, and wish him all success. You will notice that in addition to being a salesman, Mr. Howlett is a poet for when requested to furnish his photograph and a sketch of his history for publication in the "Bark" he responded with the following: "Went to the gallery and had ona took. It hit me hard in the pocket-book: But Gee! it s a peach! 0 me! 0 my! Harmonizes well with that pronoun "I". . Now for the sketch you requested, too: Just let me think 'til I get my cue.

“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.
