Pendleton Nomed NHLA Sec.-Mgr.

M. B. Pendleton, for the past six years assistant manager of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, was promoted to the position of acting secretary-manager at a special meeting of the Executive committee of the association in Chicago, l)ecember 3, to fill the post greviously held by J. L. Muller, r,r'ho resigned to enter private business. As assistant manager, Pendleton has been in charge of the public relations, membership, publications and special training courses provided by the association. Additionally, he played a major part in :irranging the big annual conventions of NHLA.

Because of his familiarity rvith the problems of the association and his long background in the lumber indus- try, the choice of the committee was a natural one. Prior to joining the executive staff of the NHLA, Pendleton was president of the Lumber Buyers Publishing Co, Chicago, publisher of lumber and r,voodworking periodicals.

\\rith its headquarters in Chicago, the NHLA maintains a staff of over lO0 national inspectors stationed throughout the United States and Canada. Its mqmbership of over 1600 classifies it as the largest'organization of its kind in the lumber industry.
