WHOLESALERS' ANNUAL IN APRIL

The Annual Meeting of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association will be held at Atlantic City, N. J., April lI and 12. This is the only national gathering of wholesalers and this year there will be many practical subjects to be discussed.

The Program Committee will give special emphasis to the consideration of convention topics which will enable the members to exchange ideas along practical lines. As a convention city Atlantic City seems to draw the largest attendance of wholesalers and the usual enthusiastic meeting is looked for in April.
