Canadian wood products industries . nd Foremen Have Interesting Session With the above caption for amotto the furniture manufacturersof Canada are away to a good startfor 1922. This is the slogan adopt-ed at the well attended annual meet-ing of the Furniture ManufacturersAssociation which was held in Tor-onto, on February 1st and 2nd. Anew departure was made this yearwhen the sessions of the first daywere thrown open to the factorymanagers, superintendents and fore-men for a discussion of their prob-lems and for the presentation ofinteresting and instructive addresseson subjects pertaining chiefly totheir fields. In opening the meeting, the chair-man, J. H. Baetz, touched on thevast strides which had been madeby the furniture industry during re-cent years. The day of individual-istic, selfish, for-myself-only effortis past. To-days conditions requireco-ordinated effort to overcome diffi-culties and to advance the furnitureindustry. To appreciate the greatimprovement made during recentyears in the furniture industry. Wm. Krug,Krug Bros. & Co.,Chesley, Ont., Chairman. Baetz intimated that one had but tcome to this meeting of managersand superintendents, listen to theaddresses to be made and the dis-cussion to follow; then if one canleave, feeling that these meetingsare of no benefit, that our old sel-fish individualities still are as strongas former]} or that combined effortcan accomplish no great good, thenindeed our case is hopeless. Speak-ing for myself. he continued,I believe that our industryhas made remarkable progressduring the past seven or eightvears; for instance, would ithave been possible, even ten yearsago, for a meeting such as the oneof to-day in which we are gatheredtogether to discuss improved met-hods for our industry and to listento instructive addresses on practicalsubjects, not as individual manufact-urers but as members of an industryhaving as our object the bettermentof conditions in the industry.
