Put Premium on Manager's Efficiency

(Continued from page 18)

I very miuch agree with th,ese opinions of my line yard friehd. I have often said that no chain can be stronger than its weakest link, and the retail lumber business can_ not be any stronger than the men who run the yards. If the men who run the yards are underpaid, they will choose some other line of business as soon as they discover ability in themselves, whereas the plan adopted by this gentlemen of letting the men share in the business they create ,is sound business.

There is a thought there for the line yard firms.

P. S. And we have'nt changed our mind. regarding the wisdom of the line yard companies having homes at each point for their managers to live ,in, just as the churches have homes for their pastors. The man who preaches the Gospel of Hom,es is just as much entitled to have a home as the man who preaches the other Gospel.

It is mighty hard to preach the gospcl of homes when the man you are p,reaching to knows that you live in a rented place yourself.
