Acme Balances Moderniza \(/indows Dave Davis tVith Kelly-Smith Co.

An attractive new folder in two ,colors was recently issued by the Acme Spring Sash Balance Company, Los Angeles, for distribution to prospective home builders, suggesting that they insist when building on the following five modern window features: (1) Easy opening and closing, (2) Modern narrow-trim casings, (3) Double-hung for nodraft ventilation, (4) Up and down operation to conserve space, (5) Modernized for Venetian blinds and drapes.

The inside pages of the folder explain and illustrate how Acme Sash Balances contribute to the attainment of these requirements.

The home builder is assured that Acme Balances have been thoroughly tested in thousands of installations all over the country in the last ten years, and that they are g.uaranteed to give satisfaction.

A business reply card is incorporated in the folder in which the prospect is asked to give his name and address and receive as a gift an Acme Bridge Scorer.

The modern factory of the Acme Spring Sash Balance Company is at 1019 East 16th Street, Los Angeles.

HELPS ENTERTAIN EASTERN RETAILERS

Frank H. White, sales manager, Ifammond Redwood Company, San Francisco, traveled to Eureka to meet the group of Ohio retailers scheduled to arrive there on the evening of January 31. The retailers will spend one day in the Redwood Empire as guests of the Redwood industry, and will leave Scotia on the evening of February 1 for San Francisco.

Kelly-Smith Co. announces that E. G. (Dave) Davis is now associated with the company and is calling on his many retail lumber dealer friends in the Southern California territory.

Dave is well known in lumber circles in the Southland. For the past two years, he was with the Coos Bay Lumber Co. working out of their Los Angeles office, and prior to that was connected with the Los Angeles office of the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co.

L. A. FURNITURE OUTPUT NEAR $4O,OOO,OOO

Total furniture production in Los Angeles during 1936 is estimated at about $40,000,000, compared with about $28,000,000 in 1935.

There was a total of 892 carloads of furniture, valued at $6,358,000, shipped out of Los Angeles by rail and water by the local manufacturers exhibiting at the Los Angeles furniture market during 1936.

How Lumber Looks

The maritime strike has now passed the thtee-month date, and as we go to press, the shipowners and longshoremen are continuing negotiations. Coast shipping operators left one of the proStettts-that of drawing the distinction between the woik of longshoremen and sailors-to a committee to meet wittr the dockmen. The other issue is the wages and hours of clerks and checkers who are affiliated "*ittt ttt" longshoremen. The settlement of these two issues would give the longshoremen a tentative agreement with the operators.

Tentative agieements have already been reached between the opeiators and the Sailors' IJnion of the Pacific; Marine Fireinen, Oilers, Wipers, and Watertenders' Association, and the Marine Engineers' Uniol. Proposals offered by the shipowners to the Marine Cooks and Stewards' Union, Arierican Radio Telegraphists' Association, and Master., M"tet and Pilots' Union aie being considered bv the unions.

'Wh.tt tentative agreements have been reached by all the unions the entire mimbership will vote on rejection or acceptance. A majority vote of all workers involved, rather than majorities within each union, will determine the result'

Reports of.l7l down and opera-ting-mills in Washington and bregon to the West Coist Lumbermen's Association for the ieek ended Tanuary 16 continue to show serious reductions in both productidn and shipments. These mills reported a total prbduction of 68,696,151 feet.

brders in the riil trade reported taken by these 171 mills of 64,127,397 leet continue, as during the past-six weeks, to be'unusual in volume for the time of year. These were 66.6 per cent of the total reported for the week. The orders taken for delivery in the domestic cargo trades total 23,961,374 feet, and in export 1,450,850 feet.

Shipments reported by these 171 mills during the week totaled 64,5D,5I7 feet, of which 57,810,993 feet moved by railroad and the remainder, 6,718,524 feet, by trucks into local trade. No water shipments were reported.

The marine closure has brought an unusual and sustained demand for lumber to be delivered by railroad. During this time cargo mills have accumulated a large volume of orders for delivery to the Atlantic Coast and California when shipping is resumed.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended January 16, 106 mills reporting, gave orders as 63,815,000 feet, shipments 52,200,W feet, and production 36,D4,OOO feet. Orders were 75.8 per cent above production, and 9.6 per cent above shipments. Shipments were 6O.3 per cent above production. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 325,563,000 feet. * :r

The California Redwood Association reported production of 13 mills for the week ended January 16 as 8,475,000 feet, shipments 6,725,On feet, and orderrs 12,886,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week*totaled, 72,935,000 feet.

The Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine, and Redwood mills all report a fine volume of business and prices are very firm.

Fir shipments are hard to get due to broken stocks. Many of the mills in the Willamette Valley are reported as still down on account of snow. A shortage of logs is developing in the Northwest due to weather conditions' Owing to the shipping tie-up all Fir shipments into California are by rail.

Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine stocks are broken, and there is a shortage of upper grades in Redwood.

Los Angeles Ranks Second in Building

Los Angeles was second in building among the cities of the nation for the year L936 with a total of $62,653,531 according to figures compiled by Dunn & Bradstreet, Inc. San Francisco was sixth with a total of. $19,927,148; San Diego was eighteenth with $9,@2,L37; and Oakland was nineteenth with $8,688,815. New York held first place with a total of $211,880,708. Building permit valuations for the twenty leading cities follows:

West Coast Annual Meeting

The annual meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association was held at the Hotel Winthrop, Tacoma, Wash., January D. The meeting of stockholders was called to order at 9:45 a.m.

The highlights of the meeting were the discussions and exhibits in connection with (1) lumber and low-cost housing, (2) prospects for revived foreign trade through reciprocal trade negotiations, and (3) grade-marking of lumber at the mills. Retail lumber dealers of the West Coast are keenly interested in the low-cost housing program and a number of their leaders parti'cipated in this discussion.

As is usual at the annual meeting of stockholders, trustees were elected for the yeat 1937. Between 26 and 250 lumbermen, loggers and others interested in the general problems of the lumber industry attended.

A report of the meeting will appear in the February 15 issue.

WALTER G. SCRIM ON EASTERN TRIP

Walter G. Scrim, Findlay Millar Timber Co., Los Angeles, attended a directors' meeting of the Philippine Mahogany Manufacturers' Import Association, Inc., at Washington, D. C., on January 22-23. Mr. Scrim is president of the Association. He will also spend some time visiting the eastern lumber consuming centers before returning to Los Angeles the early part of February.

Vagabond Editorials

Bv Jack Dionne

Federal foresters (in the guise of hustling young CCC men) planting Pine trees in the new Government forrests at the rate of ONE THOUSAND TREES PER DAY PER MAN, are something to think about. And these trees are being planted in territory that nature intended should raise that sort of crops. That means future forests. Most of we middle-aged folks won't be around when they harvest this crop. But other men will be. And they will need the wood that is the product of trees. {<**

There are lots of commercial trees, ready grotvn, standing ln this country today, however. f recall distinctly about ten years ago when someone asked the late George S. Long, of Tacoma, head of the Weyerhauser Timber Company, if the timber of this country were not pretty well exhausted, and Mr. Long's answer staggered him. He said, "There is more timber standing in this country today than has been cut in this country from the Revolutionary War up to now." That was true then. And, while our mills have been grinding away for ten years since Mr. Long made that.statement, it would probably still be true today. ***

That statement may seem exaggerated. But we still have a lot of 'trees. Remember, that in our Western states, there are abqut twelve hundred billion feet of virgin timber still standing. We knour that the majority of Southern timber has been cut, but there is a lot left; thai the Northern and Eastern states have only a small remnant of their former forests; but.what remains of the great stands in the South, the North, and the East, added to the trnla{d.O-pi4g.rgserves and the Western states, is stilt i'mighty fiiotage.

*t<*

We hear a lot about "business" these days. Business is asked to hire more men, to pay more taxes, to coo,perate more freely, etc., etc., etc. It sometimes makes you wonder what "business" really means. In my scrapbook I find a definition that Henry Ford gave of business, many years ago. He said, "Business is the mechanism for supplying human wants, and the wants keep right on getting bigger and bigger. As fast as you get a want supplied, a bigger want rises to take its place."

True ! Look at the way our human "wants" regarding entertainment, for example, have been answered with the radio, the movie, etc. See how our transportation "wants" have been supplied with millions of miles of roads, millions

of automobiles, busses, trains, airplanes. You can keep on digging r p marvelous answers to human "wants" in every direction. *rf*

It is difficult for the business man to, understand what is meant when he is asked to hire men in order to cure unemployment. The business mind instinctively looks upon business as something governed by natural rules and regulations, and not an artificial thing. A business man hires people because he has something for those people to do, some work, some service, some ideas, something he needs in his business. Just to hire people without some practical place to employ them doesn't come within the range of normal business thought. **rX

Yet business, so far as I contact it, IS hiring more people today than it actually NEEDS at the moment. The SUPPLY of help has proven so discouraging during the past year as business bulged, that almost everyone who employs people has put on a certain amount of extra help, partly to train them for his particular work, partly to prepare for more work to be done as business improves. I think a world of unemployment slack has been picked up in this way. And that is the way it will continue to be done. As business improves employers will keep adding to their lists. ***

Even the most severe critic of business must admit that there are high hurdles that the business man must deliberately prepare hir.nself to handle when he extends or expands his business today. Present high taxes and prospective higher taxes (state, county, city, national) as the cost of living, of doing business, and of government continue to mount, are hardly inducive to industrial development; the reiteration of threats of regulation take no mental strain off the prospective investor; and the dark clouds of prospective wide-spread labor trouble do not help keep the arteries normal. For instance, ship owners would not likely be interested in extending their operations regardless of business propositions; General Motors would hardly consider adding to their industrial facilities or units, regardless of the potential automobile demand; and other lines of industry look on with sadly dampened ardor. Present business is orperated with all the enthusiasm possible; but it requires considerable faith and confidence to broaden industrial developments.

How high taxes often re-act was well illustrated the other day in new stories of a Hollywood star who was offered a lot of money for radio appearances, and declined. The reason given was that his income already puts him in the high income tax brackets, and any additional income would pay 60 per cent to the Federal Government, as well as a goodly gob to the State income tax collector, and he was not willing to work for a small percentage of the wage offered him. Likewise rumor has it (and unquestionably based solidly upon fact)-that there are many, many thousands of men of means in this country who are today facing the hazards of golf courses and fishing waters simply because they fear the unusual hazards of business. Personally-while there is not a socialistic hair in my head-I am

definitely in favor of high taxes on high brackets. In times of extraordinary need who could better be selected to pay the bill than those who make more money than they know what to do with? But I would like to see taxes on high incomes so wisely arranged-if that is possible-as NOT to destroy initiative, and NOT to keep people from wanting to operate businesses, or make money. ,F**

Bruce Barton wrote years ago, "Faith in business, faith in one's self, faith in other people, faith in this countrythis is the power that moves the world." Many men, in discussing and criticizing business, fail to understand how definitely business depends upon FAITH and on CONFIDENCE. On faith is built credit. And whence comes credit?

Whether it is Pine, Fir, or Red Cedar Products of any sort, we offer you Santa Fe Service of the most prompt and personal character. Our standards of quality have been known to the

fornia trade for a generation.

From CREDO, meaning I BELIEVE. Business is built on confidence. And whence comes confidence? From CON FIDES, meaning WITH FAITH. Business is tremendously improved. Prospects generally look grand. But, because of the high hurdles already mentioned, business men generally still lack a lot of faith and confidetrce. When it comes, there will no longer be any unemployment problem. Not among employables, at any rate.

rt*:t

My belief is that recovery was long retarded by a failure of too many responsible people to understand that business is really built and dependent much more upon MENTAL and SPIRITUAL foundations, than on physical ones. Business is of men. Business was lacking in faith, in confidence, for years; it was frightened. And frightened men do not accomplish much. Business has improved largely because business men have improved their confidence, renewed their faith, reduced their fears. It will continue to improve in exactly the ratio by which these clouds disappear. If things happen that give business men more faith, more confidence, and less fright-bingo! And vice versa.

The building business, right here in mid-winter, is rosy. It is going to be a selling year, this 1937. The one best thing that could happen to the lumber industry would be the discovery and opening for general use, of a Pandora's Box of new building ideas. I'm telling you that one of the biggest \VANTS in this country today is the WANT of newer and better ideas for the use of WOOD. For ex' ample: I drove through some new and attractive residential districts in a certain city a day or so ago. New homes by the score, all sizes, shapes, costs. But on the side-walls of those new homes only one class of material-practically speaking-brick. Brick everywhere. Very littte wood for side-walls. Why? My opinion is that the makers of wood for homes have dragged; dragged in the development of qew wood walls, and in their selling, or both.

otd-fashioned narrow *Lultu1", won't go any more. Not where people are building attractive homes. They are out of date. They are unattractive. They are up on the shelf with the cold pie. I think worlds of people now using other side-wall materials would be delighted to have a beautiful wooden exterior on their homes ifit were ofrered them. But they want scmething new, something attractive, something the neighbors will admire, that passers-by will stop to look at, that they can take pride in owning. I think wood can answer the question if it goes after it right. Very wide and attractively made siding; shakes; big shingles; plywood; all these have their possibilities. It is a fact that more wide siding has been made and sold in the last six months than in the previous several years. But it still isn't enough, and the home builder here, there, and everywhere, has not been shown as he should be.

One of the greatest needs of the lumber industry right now is for manufacturers to produce attractive new wooden products, and for retailers to get out and push their sale in the retail market. The dealer who is content to sell the sheathing for the side-wall and let someone else sell the outside material, is lying down on his job.

And let me leave this selling thought with you, one that applies grandly to the retail lumber business. It is a fallacy to suppose that the public knows what it wants. It waits to be shown and sold. It is a fallacy to suppose that the public will automatically seek the BEST. It has to be educated and directed. It is a fallacy to suppose that the public will understand the difference between PRICE and VALUE. It is a fallacy to suppose that the public will continue to demand what it is not CONTINUALLY REMINDED OF.

Let's talk about the "flickers." I'm an incurable movie fan, I admit, but I'll swear that the things these foolish picture-makers in Hollywood do to my history and my heroes and my illusions keep me "sore" at the whole movie business most of the time. I feel like the famous old Texas Ranger who went into a movie last summer to see the picture called "The Texas Rangers." When he came out someone asked him how he liked the picture. He said: "I feel like setting fire to the theatre." f didn't blame him. They took a guy admirably fitted by nature with face, form, actions, voice, and acting ability to be a good third-class hackdriver; and they coupled him up with a fat comedian; and these two were the men who impersonated the boss Rangers on the screen. They could have gone to Texas and gotten REAL men, real Rangers and ex-Rangers, goodlooking men who LOOK like Rangers and would have given some atmosphere of reality to the picture. But no! The old Hollywood dumbness wouldn't think of that ! They do the most wonderful things in the MECHANICAL end of pictures, and the most awful things in the thinking department !

Now they are showing a very scenic and beautiful picture on the screen with Wild Bill Hickok for its hero. And there isn't a genuine thing that Wild Bill ever did, in that picture. He is used in fictional stuff strictly. Which is a perfect example of how these movie producers THINK. Or do they? You probably know, gentle reader, (even though the gang that made the picture didn't) that Wild Bill Hickok was undoubtedly the most formidable man in personal hand-to-hand encounter that this nation, with all its past heroes, ever produced. He did things with pistol and knife that never were done before, will never be done again. His REAL exploits deserve to be preserved. And

what a wonderful way to to it would have been through a moving picture ! But no ! They decided that their studio fiction writers could prepare more interesting adventures than the actual exploits of the greatest single-handed fighting man that ever lived. I think every American kid should know the real exploits of Wild Bill Hickok. Now they never will. They will see that fictitious picture, and the real Wild Bill will be lost to them. It's enough to make Wild Bill rise from his grave in Deadwood and haunt Hollywood. r*rF*

Which reminds me of the current ruckus that was raised in Hollywood because a Northwestern university professor named Hubert C. Huffner made the public announcement that "child movie actors are little more than animated dolls." Official Hollywood stormed its denials. Shucks ! The professor could have cut out the word "child" from his statement and still got a verdict from almost any adult jury.

Pioneers in Redwood Industry Honored

Four key figures in the California Redwood industry, each more than 7O years of age and still actively engaged after 50 years or more in the industry, were honored last month by directors of the California Redwood Association at a dinner held in San Francisco.

The Lumber Industry of the Douglas Fir Region for 1936 and the Outlook for 1937

The share of the American mills has decreased each to the marine closure. While these stoppages due to labor year since l9D.

The total production of lumber in the Douglas fir region during 1936, with the last two weeks still to be reported by mills, is estimated by the Association to be approximately 6,340,000,000 board feet. This is an increase of 34 per cent over the total in 1935 of 4,700,000,00O feet. However, the 1936 production will be approximately 38 per cent less than the 10,400,000,000 feet cut in 1929. Other lumber regions within the United States and in Canada are expected this year, as in 1935, to reach production levels closer to L9D than is the industry of the Douglas fir region. But for the marine shutdown, which closed water markets normally taking 6O per cent of the industry's production during November and December, the Association estlmates the production for the year would have been approximately 6,7ffi,000.000 board feet.

Foreign Trade

Fore;gn trade in lumber from the Pacific Coast of North America, based on reports of the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau for 11 months, is expected to show an increase of from 150 to 170 million board feet over the volume shipped in the year 1935, but practically all the gains so far have gone to the mills in British Columbia. The Canadian mills shipped 797,965,0@ board feet to outside foreign markets in the 12 months of 1935 and929,675,000 board feet in the first ll months of 1936. In addition, British Columbia mills shipped 1.43,467,W feet of fir and hemlock into the United States to the close of November this year. Combined, these make a grand total of foreign and American shipments for the 11 months of 1,O73,142.000 board feet, which is more than the total water movement offshore and to the United States from British Columbia inl9D. The total water shipments from British Columbia for the year should be not less than 1,150,000,000 board feet.

The Oregon and Washington mills shipped 554,131,000 board feet abroad in 1935 and 576,267,0@ board feet foreign in the first 11 months of 1936. As shipments could not be made during December, this is likely to be the final figure for the year.

In both 1935 and 1936 the mills on the American side of the line were forced, for considerable periods, out of for-

Domestic Markets

American consumption of lumber in 1936, including exports, according to estimates of the United States Department of Commerce, will be approximately 22,427,W,ffi board feet. This compares with 18,235,000,0@ feet in 1935, and 13,105,000,00O feet in t932, which was the lowest year of the depression. The normal consumption for several years prior to the depression was between 35 and 36 billion feet.

Imports of foreign lumber into the United States are estimated on Department of Commerce reports to reach 64/m,ffi board feet in 1936 compared to 407,00O,000 feet in 1935. The increase is largely from Canada under the provisions of the Canadian Trade Agreement.

Residential construction, which normaliy accounts for around 6O per cent of the national lumber consumption, revived during 1936 to become an important factor in stimulating lumber production and sales. Building permit totals for the year to date are more than twice those of last year and should be at least $750,000,000 in total volume for the 12 months. Building activities of all kinds have been much in evidence throughout the country and have greatly stimulated lumber production. Approximately 200,00O family dwelling units were built in 1936. The Federal Housing Administration forecasts 400,000 in 1937.

The outlook for national lumber industry during 1937 is excellent. Production and sales are likely, from all indications, to climb back to two-thirds of the totals of 1928 and l9D levels. I{owever, a return of prosperity to the waterfront mills along the Puget Sound, Grays Harbor, Willapa Harbor, the Columbia river and the Oregon Coast cannot be anticipated until the present uncertainties in labor relations are in some way removed. Lumbermen can forecast a profitable and busy year for the mills in the interior of the Northwest; but for the area bordering the waterfront in Washington and Oregon wherein is located the bulk of the Douglas fir production, after the experience of the past three years, forecasting is impossible. Yet this region pays the highest lumber wages in the world and furnishes conditions of employment unequalled elsewhere.

A. I. Koll

A. J. Koll Pioneer Los Angeles Planins Mill Man

Has Been in Business for Holf a Century

A. J. Koll, president of A. J. Koll Planing Mill Ltd., Los Angeles, is the oldest planing mill operator in Los Angeles, having been in the business there continuously since 1883.

Born in Denmark. he came to the United States in 1875. He first settled in Chicago, and after working there for a few years came to Los Angeles in 1883.

Mr. Koll recalls that when he arrived in Los Angeles he stayed at the old Pico House, on Main Street and the Plaza, then the leading hotel in the city. At that time there was a one-horse street car that ran from the Plaza to Washington Street on Main Street. There were no paved streets in those days, and Los Angeles had a population of only 13,00O.

He went to work in the Mechanics' Mill on Alameda Street, near First Street, and remained there from 1883 to 1888. He says that S. C. Dodge, who was the foreman of the Mechanics' Mili at that time, is still in Los Angeles, and is 84 years of age.

In 1BBB Mr. Koll started for himself in the planing mill business at Second and Los Angeles Streets, and in 1890 built a new mill on Second Street, between San Pedro Street and Central Avenue. In l9l2 he moved to his present location at 421 Colylen Street.

WESTERN PINE ANNUAL FEBRUARY 17

The annual meeting of the \Mestern Pine Asso,ciation will be held at the Hotel Portland, Portiand, Ore., on i'ebruary L7.

A. J. Koll Planing Mill Ltd., with a background of half a century of selvice, was recently incorporated. Its founder is the president, his son, Milton L. Koll, is vice-president, and in charge of sales, and his son, Walter A. Koll, is secretary and mill superintendent.

The mill makes a specialty of all types of turnings, including the internationally known Koll patent lock joint column. Koll columns have been used in many of Southern California's fine homes, such as that of Miss Marion Davies, the Al Christie home in Beverly Hills, and the home of the late E. L. Doheny. Columns up to 30 feet high and 38 inches in diameter are not unusual sizes to be made by this mill.

The company carries a complete stock of embossed mouldings and carvings and is equipped to do twisting, fluting and automatic turnings of all kinds up to 10 inches in diameter.

Much of the carving is used in motion picture studios on their sets. The company has an exhibition room with all sizes and designs of mouldings both carved and inlaid, where visitors can inspect carving for their prospective homes.

Hammond Redwood Company Announces Expansion

San Francisco, January 1S-Making the most important expansion in the California Redwood industry since 1933, Leonard C. Hammond, president of Hammond Redwood Company, announced that the plant built on the Eureka side of Humboldt Bay and formerly operated by Humboldt Redwood Company would resume operation March 1 as a unit of the Hammond interests

A new payroll of approximately $35,000 per month will be created with the addition of 300 men in the mill and increased logging operations. All of the workers will be drawn from Humboldt county, with l2O men already added to the payroll to prepare for rhe new activity.

The Humboldt Redwood Company plant, known commonly as the Bayside mill, is on the Eureka channel of Humboldt Bay, opposite the main Hammond plant at Samoa. It was operated formerly by the Dessert Company of Michigan, but has been idle since 1932, having been purchased by the Hammond company in the meantime.

With the announ,cement, Mr. Hammond declared that increased production is needed for the requirements of the 1937 outlook, particularly in eastern and southern states. The rated capacity of the new Hammond unit is 135,000 feet per 8 hour shift, added to the present production at Samoa of 425,00A feet per day. Despite the maritime strike all eastern and California business is being handled without interruption by rail shipments, but a great need exists for further production to supply the trade and build up stocks.

With the new development, the Hammond Redwood Company also purchased six new Caterpiller "95" Diesels for use in increased logging operations. This was declared to be the largest single tractor order since tractor logging began in the Redwoods in 192O.

Business Statesmanship

By Kenneth Smith

Secretary-Manager, Lumber a Allied Products Institute, Los Angeles

Address delivered lefore the Rotary Club, Vernon, Cali[., and the Institute of \iloodwork Manutacturers at Los Angeles

The great need of our nation today is a new type of business leadersh;p. Our salvation will come not from teachers or preachers but from business men first adapting themselves and the conduct of their business to a changing social conscience and then learning to become articulate, to "sell" the man in the street be he employee, artist or a member of the professions, an understanding of what the traditional American system is and what is his stake in it.

The real problem is changeless in a changing age. Change-new conditions-new horizons -is the normal expectation of business for as far ahead as we can see and adaptable men are needed to meet themmen, as Mr. Rukeyser said so picturesquely the other day " .geared to flux instead of being weighted down to immovable anchors."

He pointed out that attainment of the largest possibilities of American life hinged upon " . . . the capa'city of government and business, on the one hand, and management and labor, on the other, to find ways and means of working harmoniously together."

Mr. Raymond Moley, editor of TODAY, the other day set down as the first essential of progress the correlation of conflicting human factors as applied to relations with competitors, relations between employer and employee and "relations between the different elements of the economic structure-banking, industry, merchandising and transportation." He points out that failure to meet this essential "invites regulation from the outside"; that is, by law makers.

It is as the result of having taken it for granted that "it can't happen fis1s"-s1 having lacked business statesmanship-that we are confronted with the gravest problem faced by Pacific Coast business in our lifetime. We irot only find our water transportation stopped and every industry in our city and on the \Mest Coast injured but we find the general public so uninformed as to the true facts as to be largely apathetic if not actually sympathetic.

I can cite an excellent example of "how" to get the story over used by Mr. Ralph Chandler in talking to employees of his company out on strike. Substantially he said to them: "We are in reality just a collecting agency for you. We collect for you from the public the money with which to pay you. Incidentally, we collect from the public the money with which to pay taxes to the government with which it in turn pays government employees for their work

and supports the unemployed and unemployables; the money with which to pay interest for money borrowed; the money with which to pay for food and other supplies necessary to operate our ships; and, if any is left (which has not been the case for some years now) 2 or 3 per cent for the people who put up the money to buy these ships in the first place. But, primarily, we are a collecting agency for you."

His analysis is just as applicable to your business' What are you but a collection agency for your employees and don't you believe that they will agree, if explained that way to them, that you are entitled to pinch out a few per cent of the dollars that flow thru your hands (if you can). Remember they get paid first whether you get anything, and even if you are losing the accumulation of other years.

Henry Ford is rated a billionaire but he paid out eighteen b:llions to employees from what he collected (not to mention machinery, supplies, taxes, etc.). Lewis 11. Brown, President of Johns Manville, put Mr. Chandler's idea in other words the other day when he said: "Profits are not, and must not be, the end of business, but merely a measure of a service that has been well rendered."

I believe it is along these l;nes that we can re-win the loyalty of employees and confidence of the public. Wise, open-minded, adaptable leadership is accepting the social responsibility of industry, is turning back to the old virtues of an individual responsibility to employees for human treatment. And human treatment extends not only to employees but to the honest seeker of a job, whether you have one for him or not. I am not one of those who believe the old fundamentals on which we were reared of duty, honor and pride in work rvell done have departed our land to be succeeded by men looking only for a dole, but I do know that no resentment is more lasting, or more inclined to break down morale, than mistreatment by an employer of a man honestly seeking a job.If you never make any other contribution to meeting this problem at least see to it that no one around your place ever gets tough rvith the man who is looking for a chance to earn his living.

I have dwelt at length on this phase of management because it is the gravest and most urgent problem before us and because solving it will automatically bring about the right approach to most of the other problems.

However, I feel that not only on this issue but on all of the issues rvhich vitally affect the cost of dorng business; upon measures which decrease the wage fund and which therefore <ietermine the amount that can be paid to any individual except at the expense of his fellows; upon taxes and upon government competition with the private citizen, business men generally have been altogether too fearful of stating their honest convictions' I feel that business men must become articulate, must learn to go out and convince

Kenneth Smith

the general public of the soundness of those things in which they believe.

Because I agree heartily with him, I call your attentton to the statement made by Mr. C. M. Chester, President of the National Association of Manufacturers and Chairman of the Board of General Foods, in which he says that, "Silence in the face of the attacks being made upon us implies that we are either guilty of the charges made against us or that we are lacking in moral courage." He urges that, "In the spirit of true enlightenment, without rancor, or malice or political blas industry should speak. llow can we longer continue to seek the seclusion of silence and expect any judgment except that which has been passed upon us in recent years."

Col. Leonard Ayres made the point the other day that regardless of how much we may dislike or distrust it, and regardless of who may be the Executive head of our government in the future we are faced with the great basic fundamental fact that the responsibility of the Federal Government for the economic conditions under which individuals live and work has become accepted, approved and firmly established. It is one-and the greatest-of those changes that break changless men and demand, as I said earlier, leadership that is adaptable and "geared to flux."

I referred a while ago to a study of this subject by Mr. Moley, and I want to pass along to you briefly two highly important essentials to business men who would intelligently meet the challenges of this new day.

One of these he sets down as a "new conception of relation of business to government" and argues that the busi-

ness man must learn to represent himself and to give so much of his personal time to it as may be necessary. That he must make politics a part of his job.

The other-and he sets it down as the most important"is a knowledge of the means by which public confidence can be secured." He points out that "business has an enormous advantage in the job of winning the confidence of the public. No politician and no government can make a more abundant life. Government can divide what is already there but-is not a machine for production You must get over to the public the fact that material benefits are the result of an economic structure of which the public itself is a part. It is the economic system whose political manifestation is democracy. Democracy and individual economic enterprises are two sides of the same coin. The public cannot destroy one without destroying the other."

This looks like a tough assignment, and it is, but meeting it is the price of success. Business men will meet this challenge or they will slide back down hill. No one can stay where he is.

And may I add one more thought. I have not been talking just about making money. I have also been talking about making a life. Just to make money is not the only end and aim of a business or of a man. The pleasure that it adds to life to associate amicably with your partners in your own organization-and in your industry-are one of its richest rewards. To so conduct yourself as to make money pleasantly, comfortably and without bitter after-tastes is the highest form of commercial wisdom.

ONLY 1OO YEARS AGO

There was not a public library in the United States. Almost all furniture was imported from England.

An old copper mine in Connecticut was used as a prison. There was only one hat factory and it made cocked hats. Every gentleman wore a queue and powdered his hair.

Crockery plates were objected to because they dulled the knives.

Virginia contained a fifth of the whole population of the country.

A man who jeered at the preacher or criticized a sermon was fined.

Two stagecoaches bore all the travel between New York and Boston.

Buttons were scarce and expensive, and the trousers were fastened with pegs or lace.

Leather breeches, a checkered shirt, a red flannel jacket and a cocked hat formed the dress of the real artisan.

Beef, pork, salt fish, potatoes and hominy were the staple diet all the year around.

A day laborer considered himself well paid with two shillings a day.

The whipping post and pillory were still standing in Boston and New York.-Clipt.

A REASONABLE QUESTTON

MAKE UP YOUR HEART

In public questions, as in private doubt, 'Tis not enough for man to figure out fn terms materiaf in times distressed, How things will profit him, in coin expressed. Few questions man will properly decide, Gold for his God, and profit for his guide. He must consider more, aye, all mankindMake up his conscience, making up his mind.

There is too much "How will this profit me?"

And not enough, "flow help humanity?"

Too much inquiring, "What will serve me best?"

And not enough "How will this serve the rest?"

No man is richer, what his scheme or plan, Who makes life poorer for some other man. He but grows poorer as he waxes rich Whose carriage crowds another in the ditch.

A hundred questions fret our world tonight, Yet only one, the question "Wrong or right?" Whatever folly says, or sage replies, One question man can never compromise. In times like these men are too much inclined, Making decisions, to make up the mind; For deeper down the roots of living start: Consult your conscience, and make up your heart.

Mr, and Mrs. Raymond Grey to Make \(/orld Tour

Raymond Grey, president of the Taft Lumber Company, Taft, Calif., and Mrs. Grey, will leave this month on a trip around the world. They will leave at home, both working for the Taft Lumber Company, Richard Grey aged 21, and Arthur Grey aged 20, under assistant manager, Howard C. Harper. Mr. Grey says that he has been gradually slipping out from under detailed work for several years, and one of the purposes of the trip is to pass responsibility on the boys without having the "Old Man" to rely on.

Mr. and Mrs. Grey will sail from Los Angeles, February 16, on the S. S. Taiyo Maru touching at Honolulu, and spending two weeks in Japan. Leaving Kobe they will spend several days each at Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore. There they will take a side trip to Borneo to visit friends with the Shell Oil Company; they have been promised an extended hunting trip into the inland of Borneo for large game and an excellent opportunity to see the primitive living conditions of the natives. One month will be spent in Borneo.

Back to Singapore again, and from there through the Suez Canal, a glimpse of Egypt and the Pyramids, disembarking at Genoa, Italy. They will spend a month in Europe traveling by rail and automobile through Italy, Switzerland, France, Holland and England, meeting friends in Holland and England.

They will embark on the S. S. Duchess of Bedford at Liverpool for Montreal, Canada, June 18. Then overland to New York and back to Taft by rail returning about July 1.

Hotel reservations and trips in all the countries visited will be arranged through the American Express Company.

Redwood Shipment to Arizona by Truck

Calling upon all other forms of transportation during the maritime strike in order to supply the increasing demand for California Redwood, the Hammond Redwood Company of Samoa recently shipped 17,W feet of siding to the Hays Lumber Company of Oatman, Atizona, by motor truck'

It was the largest single order of redwood ever shipped interstate by motor truck from the redwood region and was carried more than a thousand miles before reaching its ciestination. Oatman is one of the gold mining centers of northwestern Arizona and isin an isolated section, far from railroad facilities.

While handicapped by the maritime diffi'culties, the Redwood industry has relied successfully upon rail shipments for all eastern and the bulk of California business' Extensive hauling has aided northern California deliveries, particularly in the Sacramento valley.

Be rnie Bie rman, Minnesota Football Coach, Speaks at Wood Conversion Convention

At the Annual Sales Convention of the Wood Conversion Company, Bernie Bierman in his talk to the ninety salesmen and executives who attended the meeting, elaborated on the necessity of w-ell organized team work and its importance both in the football world and in the business world.

P. A. Ward, general sales manager of t h e Wood Conversion Company, at this meeting announced an improved Balsam-Wool and a new NuWood Sheathing. The new improved BalsamWool marks another step in the progress of a company which has pioneered the development of insulation for nearly two decades. It has an improved reinforced nailing flange in addition to being doubly sealed to resist moisture.

Among the various speakers at the convention were E. W. Davis, general manager' of the company ; Walther Buchen, president of the Buchen Agency, and Bernie Bierman, coach of the Minnesota football team.

"In view of the fact that 1937 is going to be a boom year in building," said Mr. Ward, general sales manager, "it is only natural for Wood Conversion Company to introduce these new and improved products. An increased sales organization and an increased advertising appropriation will assist our jobbers and dealers in getting their share of the 1937 insulation and interior finish business."

Wood Conversion Company, pioneers in the manufacture of moisture resisting insulation materials as well as Nu-Wood interior finish, has in recent years made unusual advances in the development and importance of better insulation and interior finish materials.

Balsam-Wool is a highly moisture resisting insulation and to be properly installed must be securely fastened in place.

Nu-Wood is an interior finish made of wood fibres which is easily installed in old buildings as well as new. NuWood is made in a number of hexagonal designs and patterns in addition to being made in a variety of soft blended colors.

This year, the annual sales meeting for this company was held at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago, January 6,7 and8.

Philippine Mahogany - Phitippine Flardwood

\(/ins Prize for Best Specimen of Finished Redwood Panel

W. W. Jarvis, interior decorator and general painting contractor of 827 Micheltorena Street, Los Angeles, won the $25.00 cash prize and redwood burl trophy awarded by the California Association for the best specimen of finished redwood panel at the 1937 convention of the California Master Painters and Decorators in Fresno, Jantary 2L-23.

The winning panel by Mr. Jarvis was one of 80 entered in the contest. It was delicately shaded beige in color and was described by Mr. Jarvis as "pickled redwood."

Mr. Jarvis, a native of England who learned his trade in that country, specializes in deluxe home and shop interiors in the Los Angeles-Hollywood area.

Henry Afman of Denver, first vice-president of the International Society of Master Painters and Decorators, presented the prizes in behalf of the donors.

Participation in the program of the master painters and decorators is part of a program of cooperation between painters and decorators, paint manufacturing concerns and the redwood industry inaugurated for 1937.

L. L. Witty, field representative of the California Redwood Association, attended the Fresno convention, assuring master painters and decorators that the redwood industry would continue its cooperative efforts with the paint industry as a stimulant to better building conditions in the state and nation.

Do You Remember When?

An Old Timer* Looks Back on the Lumber Business in the Los Angeies of a Ouater Centuty Aso and More

YE OLD TYMER having duly read in the daily papers about various and sundry things which are to be inflicted on the long suffering business man; and having been disappointed for the steenth time in thinking that the sailors' and longshoremen's strike was going to be settled; and thinking too much of how good a cigar would taste after foolishly having been talked into swearing off the filthy habit on New Year's Day, says to himself, "Oh Hell, let's forget the whole mess and turn back again to the days of twenty-five years or so ago, when even a Republican had some rights; when there weren't any female barflies; when you knew who lived across the street; when you didn't have to drive a customer down to three docks, show him a dozen cars of lumber and end up in selling him a truckload; when the public considered they had some rights in the case of a strike; when there weren't any boulevard stops, or a business district every fourth or fifth street through a residence district; when you could get a stein of genuine Wurzburger or Pilsner beer for a dime, and a quart of seven year "Old Crow" for a dollar; and barber shops were for men. So my friends "Ye Old Tymer" presents:

The Higman Lumber Co., late of Hazen, Nevada, had a yard at 58th and Main Streets where Brown Higman had his headquarters along with his father; also at Florence Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard where our long time friend Jerome was cutting the proverbial fat pig; and a third yard at Manchester and Moneta Avenues (now Broadway) where C. O. DeCoo, Will Price and "Cass" Casler found plenty to do; later selling out their interests. In l9l7

Dave Woodhead bought both the Main Street and Florence Avenue yards. Brown then started the yard in what was called Sherman, now known as the Yost-Linn Lumber Co. Jerome went to Ranger, Texas, where he opened a yard, and later had a yard. at Oatman, Arizona, during the mining boom. Then later he started the yard on Exposition Boulevard with Frank Stitzer and Harry Bishop; and now the "White Spot." Old Timer considers Jerome one of the half dozen best salesmen in Southern California. Casler is with the Forestry service, Price and DeCoo have died.

F. P. Sappington, there my friends is a real veteran, for thirty-three years he has had his yard at El Monte. Do you know he is a full fledged M. D. ? Well, he is that ! Old Timer has kidded him for years about having oil lights in his office up until two years ago, but don't think for a minute that F. P. isn't up with the times. He bought a new Chrysler in Detroit last fall, drove it home, and going through Arizona, in places was barreling along at lO2 MPH.

If you're hunting a thrill, ask him to take you for a ride; he cured me in one treatment. He used to own the yard at Puente, now the Patten-Blinn yard, and A. G. Clabaugh has run that yard all these years.

Both of these yards were on Old Timer's list of customers and to show you how we sold lumber before we had autos to drive around; took the Salt Lake (now U. P.) morning train to Hudson Station, walked to Puente; then caught the S. P. train to Savanna (rvhere Kerchkoff-Cuzner have a yard now); for some reason only known to the S. P. this train wouldn't stop to let you off at El Monte, so you walked back to that town. Later in the day a S. P. train stopped at El Monte and you caught it back to L. A. Remember Harold Plummer, manager here for Union Lumber Company, and that Mercer car of his? Too bad he isn't with us any more.

W. D. Wise, a man who was a veteran here in Los Angeles, when Old Timer first began wearing out shoe leather calling on the trade. Walter used to sell the imported Alsen cement besides being tops in wholesaling lumber. When he confirmed an order every "i" was dotted and every "t" was crossed. Remember that $6,000 Stevens Duryea roadster of his-the under sides of the running boards were varnished and the exhaust pipe was enameled. He used to garage it at the P. E. garage where the colored boy had his instructions to wipe off the motor every day. Walter had his suspicions that it wasn't being done, so he laid a four-bit piece on top of the motor under the hood. That night the colored boy protested that he had wiped off the engine, so Walter raised the hood and showed him the four-bits.

Luke Brooks got his training under W. D. Wise. I saw W. D. only a few months ago.

Alta Planing Mill at 8th and McGarry Streets. Ralph Homann now in the contracting business, and Roy Arnold were the principals.

Pacific Coast Planing Mill, and no small plant either, at 6th and Mateo Streets. Red headed John Grifen; later moved to 48th Street and Santa Fe Avenue; then merged with Pacific Sash and Door.

F. W. Enderly, with headquarters at Riverside, where he owned the Pacific Lumber Co. (no relation to you Scotia). Also yards at Perris run by Miller; Elsinore with Frank Ware as manager-greetings to you Frank, you were a youngster when Old Timer knew you; and let's not forget Andy Ware of the Corona Lumber Co. Andy, I wonder if you remember when you and F. W. hearing I

was going to drive to Santa Ana through the Canyon, made me promise to phone you when I got to Olive or you would send a searching party to look for me? Well, I got through, but I did hit a wooden bridge at 25 miles per hour only to find a 3x12 bridge plank was completely gone, bounced three feet (more or less) in the air and got across. Santa Ana Canyon in those days was some trip.

Well, just for a change, the Havward bar and their King David cocktail. Think I will have to drop in there tomorrow and see if they have them again, now that the 18th Amendment is out. That reminds me of the old Imperial Cafe, remember that one, and while we are at it how about Al Levy's at Third and Main Streets. Until a couple of years ago his old push cart that gave him his start was housed up in that cupola on the corner of the roof, you could see it from the street.

D. I. and F. U. Naftziger and their yard across from the P. E. Building with their big sign, "We skin them all" and then down below in small letters "in price." Later Naftziger started the yards at Burbank and Lankershim (North Hollywood to you) that Blanchard bought in 1911.

There you are my friends, hope it has given you something to think over.

Celotex to Merchandise Thermax Products

The negotiations whereby The Celotex Corporation becomes exclusive sales agent of Thermax Structural Insulation and Absorbex Acoustical Corrective have just been completed between the Corporation and The Northwest Magnesite Company.

In announcing the completion of the arrangement, which becomes effective January 1, 1937, B. G. Dahlberg, President of The Celotex Corporation, stated:

"Thermax Structural Insulation and Absorbex Acoustical Corrective are distinctly different from Celotex both in physical properties and appearance. They have been marketed in the United States for a little over 5 years, and in Europe since 1918. Something over 300,000,000 board feet have been sold. Manufacturing facilities are located at Chewelah, Washington, in the heart of the source of their raw materials-timber and refined magnesite "srnsnl- insuring uniform economical production.

"R. E. Bennett, an executive of the former Thermax Division of The Northwest Magnesite Company, has joined The Celotex Corporation and is working on distribution arrang'ements to make these products more available to purchasers, which should result in a corresponding increase .in demand.

"The largest potential markets for Thermax lie in the construction of frame buildings, industrial roof decks, fireproof partitions, structural walls and ceilings, where insulation, structural strength and sound isolation are essential. Principal markets for Absorbex are in offices, public buildings and general business places, where acoustical correction, fireproofing and beauty are governing factors."

The general sales headquarters will be in The Celotex Corporation's main office at Chicago.

Commercial Standard for Hardwood "The Home Owner's Catalog" Dimension Lumber Released

The commercial standard grading rules for hardwood dimension lumber, which were voluntarily set up by the hardwood dimension manufacturers, in cooperation with the National Bureau of Standards, have recently been released by that Bureau.

These grading rules are established as a basis of better understanding between the manufacturers and users of dimension stock and whiie not applicable to every dimension lumber transaction, the standards provide certain basic specifications which may be amplified to provide for any specific need.

Certain general requirements are listed which apply to all grades, while detailed requisites are given that delineate five grades of flat stock and four grades of squares.

One of the most important features is the adoption of standard methods for the measurement of hardwood dimension lumber and the size tolerances that are permissible in commercial practice.

For immediate reference by the users of hardwood dimension. there is certain informative data included which is printed from the "Woodwork Handbook" with the permission of the Forest Products Laboratory. This data includes tables on the strength properties of some of our more important commercial woods, control of moisture content, and a glossary of terms used in the hardwood dimension field.

The publication, known as Hardwood Dimension Lumber, Commercial Standard CS6O-36, is available gratis in single copies, while the supply lasts, from the Division of Trade Standards, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.

The F. W. Dodge Corporation is distributing 6O,000 copies of the 1932 edition of "The Home Owner's Catalog". This organization predicts that east of the Rockies in 1937, $800,000,000 will be expended for building one and twostory houses. Total building volume ol 1937, exclusive of heavy engineering work, is expected to be 3O per cent more than last year.
