Lumber Dealers Seek Strong Boston Association

A move to form a robust lumber dealers association in Boston advances with plans for a public meeting at the Quincy or Revere House late this week.

A previous city lumber society has faded, and a fresh, stronger body is seen as essential given Boston?s vast annual lumber volume of about 9 million dollars in value and 210 to 216 million feet of timber handled.
