Kellogg Heqds Hqrdwoods Exhibit

The directors of the Hardwoods Exhibit, Inc., met in Chicago recently and selected Lawrence D. Kellogg of the L. D. Kellogg Lumber Company, Alexandria, La., to serve as president for the year 1955-56. All bills for building and maintaining the exhibit to date have been paid and, due to the excellent cooperation of many firms in the hardwood industry scattered throughout the United States, a small surplus remains for the management of the exhibit on a very conservative basis, which means simply keeping the exhibit open and in good working order for use by a large share of the approximately three million people who will visit the Museum of Science and Industry this year.
