By A. G. ARNOLL

Secretary and General Manager Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce

Los Angeles, in 1925, according to figures compiled by the Marine Exchange of the Chamber of Commerce, will import approximately 1,200,000,000 feet of lumber, thus maintaining the distinction it has enjoyed for several years, of being the leading lumber importing port in the world.

Most people recognize the importance of Los Angeles as an oil exporting port, but only a comparative few realize that its imports of lumber, both from the Pacific Northwest and from foreign countries, have made it a world leader in this respect.

This enormous movement of lumber over our whdrves exerts a tremendous influence on industry'in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, which last year turned out in excess of $I,2A2,677,W rvorth of manufactured products in its 5500 factories.-

The motion picture studios are accredited with being the biggest consumers of lumber, due to the great number of massive sets which they are forced to erect in the course of a year.

The planing mills in the Los Angeles area turned out last .year d" total of $64,327,685 worth of finished prbducts-an increase of close to $6,500,00O over the previous year-ancl distributed more than $LL,747,W in payrolls.

The total value of sashes, doors, fixtures and cabinets manufactured here last year amounted to $22,997,712 while factories turning out those commodities distributed more than $7,2D,80O in payrolls.

A total of $17,610,106 worth of furniture parts were manufactured here in 1925.
