New "Moore" Calender

Everyone engaged in the lumber industry is doubtless familiar with the darkey calendars issued each year by the Moore Dry Kiln Company of North Portland, Oregon, and Jacksonville, Florida. The drawings by James P. Alley, famous creator of "Ifambone's Meditations" which appear in thedaily newspapers of the South, are exceptionally clever.

The new 1931 calendar is just off the press, and shows old Un,cle 'Neas fishing in a "hog wallow" near his dilapidated sawmill and logging operation, which is shut down due to the 1930 business "repression".

The calendar picture is entitled "The Optimist"
