A Savings Bank Investor Looks at Forestry

Abstract There are not many men in America who have been trained in and have practiced forestry, who have engaged in the lumber business, who have served in the capacity of a state tax commissioner, and who in the end find themselves engaged in the banking business. Such a man, however, is the author of "A Savings Bank Investor Looks at Forestry." Readers of this article will find it entirely devoid of theoretical financial considerations. Instead, they will find an abundance of the common garden variety of "horse sense." Although the author does not paint too rosy a picture of the possibilities of forest practices in New England, it is nevertheless reassuring.
