Situated as 1t is, the extreme west
ern point of deep waterway navigation,
Duluth possess Il natural advantage
in the matter Of shipping. Even in
modern times, where every tendency is
to reduce the cost to minimum, it
is Impossible for railways to compete
with boats in transportation of cargoes
to the eastern market. The lake still
proves the most economical for the
purpose Of forwarding the immense
volume of products to the east.
Outside Of iron ore Duluth's great
est commidity is lumber. The immense
forests which are tributary to this city
make this numbering center which is
second to none in the reserve stock
which still exists indicates that this
distinction will be maintained indetl-
nately. Practically all of the pine
which is cut in st. Louis county, and
in fact in Northern Minnesota, event.
ually finds its way to the mills which
ship by way of the great lakes as
result Of the tonnage which passes
through the ship canal outstrips that
which clears from the great port OF
Liverpool.
Much of the lumber which is for
warded from this point in cut IN Du-
luth mills. They employ large num-
Der Of men, pay them good wages, and
in every way successfully solve the
problem which may arise between en-
ployer and employe. Strikes in these
mills are unheard of. for the reason
that differences which may come up

WOODRUFF LUMBER CO.,
LUMBER, SASH, DOORS

Concerns which win to large extent
the leadership in their kind Of BUSH
ness and the esteem and confidence of
the public, do so not by mere chance,
but by honest efforts to be fair and
reasonable, both with. labor and the
public. Concerns which deviate from
this principle are certain to fall Of their
own weight.
On the other hand, companies which
have invested considerable capital and
give employment to large force of
men who are treated with fairness and
consideration are entitled to the con-
fldence and encouragement of all who
have. the best interests Of labor and
the city at heart.
This point is we'll exemplif1ed by the
Woodruff Lumber company, located at
ST. Garfield avenue. This company has
always exhibited a most friendly and
considerate attitude toward the cause
of labor and the labor movement, and
has made host Of friends among our
people. A concern of this kind should
always receive the hearty support and
encouragement of the public in pre-
ference to others whose policies are
openly antagonistic or Indifferent to
the welfare and advancement of labor.
The officers of this company are ex-
perienced and reliable men and prom
inent citizens, and have proven them
selves to be broad-minded and public
spirited, and in all their dealings with
labor they have been most courteous,
fair and considerate.
We are pleased to place the name of
this firm among the prominent con-
Germs which are to be depended upon
as friends of conservative organized
labor.
Home industries give employment
to our people, increase the prosperity
and happiness Of our city. promote the
welfare of our community and add
commercial value to the: city Or
ganized labor should now show its ap-
probation of this public-spirited in
stitution and lend it their hearty sup
port and encouragement.
In extending to this firm our hearty
support and cooperation we feel that
we are but showing that spirit Of re-
ciprocity which Is due to those con-
Germs which treat the great question
Of labor with the utmost fairness and
consideration.

THE ALGER SMITH co.
HAVE TWO BIG MILLS

luth. 2O4-2O6 Lonsdale Building.
Zenith 'PhOne 1908.

We take pleasure in calling the at
tention to the name Of the Alger- Smith
Lumber Company, a concern in our
midst which is worthy of the support
and encouragement of all intelligent
workmen. The record of this company
shows clearly that the officers have in
all their dealings been actuated by
principles of fairness and justice. A con-
Germ which pursues a policy of this
kind is almost sure to have a steady
and healthy growth
The managers of this company, Mr..
John Millen, is held in high esteem
by his employers and is one of our
progressive citizens.
1t has always been our object to
show that in order to bring about the
best prosperity that is possible, it is
necessary for the two great forces
to keep In sight at all times the fact
that their interests are mutual and
that whatever tends to disturb the.
welfare of the one necessarily reflects
injuriously upon the other. When a
concern such as the Alger Smith Com
pany pursues a policy of strict fair
ness and consideration in it's relations
ceive the hearty support and encourage
ment not only Of their own employees,
but also of all fair minded citizens.
Outside of iron ore Duluth's greatest
commodity is lumber. The immense
forests which are tributary to this

THE SCOTT-GRAFF
LUMBER COMPANY
2AO2 West Michigan Street.


Labor comes closely in contact with
capital in the lumber industry. Vast
investment is required to carry the
large and varied stock of lumber and
material that successful retail yard
must handle. but capital alone can not
produce a successful lumber business.
Without the support Of his workmen,
the manager. no matter how capable, is
at great disadvantage. Faithfulness
and loyalty on the part Of the men In
the yard are greatly appreciated, for
without them the manager can not
hope to fulfill the business promises
and obligations which he must extend
to his customers:
One Of the most prominent concerns
In this section of the country is the
Scott-Graff Lumber company. dealers in
lumber, sash, doors and mouldings, etc.,
pine, hemlock and hardwood lumber,
white and red cedar shingles

line in this section, and carry con-
stantly on hand and can furnish upon
the shortest notice anything in the
lines above mentioned. They are in
a position to fill the largest orders
with the utmost despatch, and give
careful attention to every order. how
ever small. The gentlemen compris-
ing this firm are among the most en-
terprising' and successful business men
of our city. and give their personal at
tention to the details of their i'm
