THE BARK **p Nantahala <-»* The proper manufacturing of our lumber was the leading subject for discussion at a meeting of the keymen Wednesday evening, December fifth. Special stress was laid on the importance of making the lumber a certain standard as outlined and decided upon by the officials of the company. We were fortunate in having with us Mr. Samuel M. Wolfe, division superintendent. The crayon in the hands of the inspector can either make or lose for the company as well as the customer, it was pointed out. When in measuring lumber he finds a board with more wane or bark defects than it will carry under the provisions in the rule book relative to manufacture and grading, he should be very careful to measure and place the crayon mark at the very place where the board should be ripped. If one can edge a board to 6 Ya, inches wide, he should not carelessly cause the board to be ripped to 6 y2 inches. The prime object in the installation of the remanufacturing plant was the saving of lumber, and this means both money and satisfied customers. Mr. C. N. Greiner of the Columbus office made a business trip here recently with Mr. R. D. Wells, of the Wells Manufacturing Co., South Bend, Ind. We did all we could to extend to these men courtesies, information and hospitality, for Mr. Wells is a strong specimen of the lumberman's choice, being broad minded, appreciative, jovial and a most likable man, and Mr. Greiner is a refined gentleman, full of pep and on his toes. With Mr. Wells, our chief inspector, Mr. A. E. Weaver loaded a fine car of cherry lumber and with this as a starter, we trust we will obtain an extensive cherry business with Mr. Wells' firm. Both of our visitors enjoyed the clubhouse meals of chicken, gravy, apples, applesauce, pumpkin pie and cake, for they certainly did indulge. However, they were physically able and gave no evidence of any bad effects. Gentlemen, we enjoyed your visit and we trust the business trip was well worth while. Come again. J. G. Fleming, Henry Franklin and Dr. B. B. McGuire obtained seventeen rabbits on a recent hunting trip. . . Born to Mr. and Mrs. Pat Pitts, a fine boy, December 6. Mrs. Pitts was Edith Danielson. . . John and Collie Webb, of Mullens, W. Va., were recent visitors with Jess Brooks, woods superintendent. . . Mrs. Jack Bryant, wife of our sawmill superintendent, is very sick at present. She has many friends who would be glad to see her able to be out again. . . We are pleased to note that Mrs. John Sneed, who has been quite ill with pneumonia, is fast recovering. . . . No. 28 Highway from Franklin, a distance of 18 miles, is a dry weather road, hence our visitors have been rather scarce. . . . Mrs. Lassie Kelly Cunningham and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Moore, of Franklin, spent Thanksgiving evening with us and they wondered where we obtained so many good eats. . . . Miss Allie Caler had Thanksgiving dinner at the clubhouse. As she fed our Ritter men during our early days when they had nowhere else to go, we took special pains to please her.

“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.
