By Jack Dionne

My friend, Fred Austin, sends rne the best advertising gag of the season. He was in Chicago the other day, and was walking along Michigan Avenue when he saw a jostling, laughing crowd of people staring into a shop window. Naturally he drew near to see what it was all about. The window proved to be that of a ladies' apparel shop, and they were displaying some sort of new-fangled fixings in lingerie, adapted to the purpose of making the lady with the scrawny bust look plumpish.***

But it was not the demonstration that had the crowd in guffaws. It was the big sign that accompanied the demonstration. It was that self-same sign that you see over the door of the wayside highway. garage alf the way from San Francisco to New York, and from New Orleans to Canada, this time adapted to an entirely new cause. The sign read: WE FIX FLATS. ,ltF*

Reminds mc, for no reason at all, of the very frank and humorous answcr that a certain celebrity gave a friend of mine. The celebrity is a most decided blonde, inclining to the Harlow type of hair color. My friend said to her: "Miss So-and-So, you don't look at all like I expected you to." The blonde celebrity wanted to know why. "\ilell," said the visitor, "I thought you'd be a much older woman, and a brunette." "You were right," said the screen celebrity, with a grin, "f AM."

**:t

Business improves ! And what I mean it irnproves in no meager fashion, but by great forward thrusts. A month ago in this column f expressed the conviction that the destruction of AAA would have that immediate and measurable efrect. It seems to have accomplished that purpose already. Business seems to be better, definitely and splendidly better, in all directions. ***

The lumber business is stepping high. If all the things I read are just half facts, and all the things I hear are just half true, then we are looking into the dawn of a real building day, and a real building material market. Those reports are nation-wide, and confined to no spot, territory or lumber species. The stick of returning building interest is tarring them all.

***

The return of confidence in the sacredness of property rights has more to do with the present signs of improve-

ment than any one thing. The recent titanic blows that have been struck in defense of the Federal Constitution have lifted a deep pall frorn the souls of those in this country who own property. The man who owns something wants to be just as certain that he owns it and that his property rights will be protected, as he has been since 1776. And now that he is being given continual assurance that property rights retain the odor of Constitutional sanctity, he is ready to do something with that property.

All of which means *l*.b,I*ess, more emptoyment, more prosperity. There are great improvements yet to be ,rtade, but they will come. It costs approximately three times as much today to load or unload a thousand feet of lumber on the Pacific Coast as it did two years ago. Higher wages, shorter working hours, and the almost complete elimination of labor efficiency is the answer. That, of course, rnust change. It's going to take no small battle to bring it about. The law of "don't work" is a law that sinks deep into the souls of men, and eradicates slowly.

*:frt

I talked to a contractor the other day, who operates in a Soutrhern state. He told me almost the same story about his business, the huge increase in the cost of his labor, due alrriost entirely to reduced efficiency. I remember one rernark he made, as follows: "fn the old days men got to be foremen in our operations by the merit route. The man who out-worked and out-thought his fellows in the ranks, was made a foreman. I am wondering where my foremen of the future are to come from. No one tries to be conspicuous by his efrorts any more." Those things must, and will, change. There are, no doubt, innumerable industrial activities that must change from wage and salary methods of paying their rnen, to piece work, paying according to earning.

* rt ,1.

The contractor I have just quoted told'me many interesting things along this line. When men apply to him for jobs he says to them: "llere is a job that will pay you so rnuch a day; or I will give you the job on a piece-work basis, and I'll guarantee that if you work diligently you can make half again as much as I am offering you by the day." And he says he gets absolutely no takers on the piece-work offer. Those things, of course, must change. The law of leisure, the get-something-for-nothing phil-

osophy must go. But think not it is going to be eady to dislodge ! It will take almost an earthquake to move it.

People are buildin*--r*"U ""*. The land is thinking building. By spring we should be,in the midst of a splendid building program that absolutely covers this nation with its entire forty-eight states. This will not only make the building industry good, but it wiil take armies of men off the unemployed lists; and these armies off that list will go to spending wages and salaries again, which money will, in return, take still other people from the ranks of the unemployed. The vicious circle of the past five years will be replaced by the golden circle of the next five. ***

Not even the fact that it is Presidential election year'is going to interfere. We've got too much rebuilding to do to let a little thing like a Presidential election get in the way. This country is going back to where it came from, and nothing is going to stop it. Men and money are going back to work. Taking the scare off of scared money will take thi scare off of scared men. Scared money and scared men are what make a panic and a depression.

This should u" opport.rrlirr*r"1, for the lumber industry, and for all of its followers. After five or six years, during which the intelligent prornotion of building bordered on the impossible, the time comes back when the salesman will get the grapes. There will be a tremendous-possibl/ unheard-of-need for buildinss; and there will be finances available to buy the materials and pay the labor.

All other intelligent J ; "i, o.n", worthwhile industries are going to sense the same thing and be out there fighting for the available dollars that Mr. John Citizen is going to spend. A life insurance salesman said to me this very morning: "The guy that doesn't get his this yearnever will." f'm inclined to think that statement will well apply to all worth-while lines of human activity. *'F*

People are going to start advertising again. (Won't that be grand for these starved lumber journals?) The building industry has been particularly mute for the past five years, more so, mayhap, than any other great industry. Not that I especially blame them. The sawmill man who couldn't sell what lumber he made and whose chief interest was trying to keep together the bodies and souls of his men, was hardly an. easy guy to talk advertising to.

But the millmen whose saws are whining, whose order fires are splendid, whose employees are busy and happy, and whose iedger-sheets are taking on the good old hue of health-that man should advertise.

The whole building t;r.r, lf,oofa advertise this year, and advertise big. They should advertise for a variety of healthy reasons, not the least of which is that they will thus sell themselves on their own industry and its possibilities. It is the birds that fly in darkness that men shoot at, not the ones that sing in the sunlight on the front porch. The lumber industry needs to do a little singing; in the sunlight; on the front porch. **{<

All the good things that MIGHT come to the lumber industry this year won't just happen. There will be plenty of smart and active hands reaching out for the consumer dollar, ready and willing-and able-to sidetrack a world of the dollars that should rightfully go to building. 'We've got to go to the public with our story. And we've got to be doggoned sure we've got a story. The public is no more interested in two-by-fours and boards than it is in nuts and screws. And the automobile industry doesn't offer nuts and screws for sale. They deliver them-in the completed car-but they don't mention them in the sales talk. *{<*

The lumber industry should start this very minute to COMB THIS NATION, SEEKING BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES. NOT next spring but this VERY MINUTE. Every day lost is a lot of sales lost. And it goes right back to the retail lumber dealer who is the point of sales contact between the industry and the building public. What are YOU, Mr. Lumber Dealer, doing about it? What are you planning to do about it? When are you going to do it? What are you planning to offer? ***

Get this ! Every highway and every by-way of these United States of America should be traversed in the next few months by men offering every sort of building service, and every prospective builder, and every prospective buyer of anything from a strip of board to an office building should be exposed to a BUILDING SALES TALK just as soon as possible. ***

Individual right doing is the hope of the lumber industry. Individual activity is the foundation on which lum-

ber sales must be built. Therefore, every man who sells lumber and building service to the American public should be out right now hitting the ball. All the prospects should be coordinated and charted; all active prospects should be sold. The lumber industry should start back on its long deferred boom.

*d.d<

What is the lumber industry going to do about it? The guy I am talking to is the guy whose face you shave. What's the answer?

Pacific Coast Hardwood Distributors Convene at Del Monte

James Ahern Elected President

Jarnes Ahern, of the Emerson Hardwood Co., Portland, Ore., was elected president of the Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association at the 14th annual convention of the Association, held at Hotel Del Monte, Del Monte, Calif., on Friday and Saturday, January 31 and F'ebruary 1.

Norman Sawers, J. Fyfe Smith Co', Ltd., Vancouver, B. C., was elected first vice president; Al Frost, Frost Hardwood Lumber Co., San Diego, was elected second vice president, and Ray Anderson, General Plywood Co., Seattle, was elected secretary-treasurer.

Friday Session

The convention opened on Friday morning at 11 a.m. with President C. H. White in the chair. President White addressed the gathering as follows:

The first meeting of the Pacific Coast Hardwood Dealers was held here in Del Monte, January 18, 1924,

During the previous December Bayard Byrne of the Western Hardwood Lumber Company of Los Angeles had attended a meeting of the San Francisco Hardwood Club and had broached the subject of a Coast organization. The idea was received with enthusiasm. A day was set and we went to Del Monte.

This present Association is the result of that first gathering. Your humble servant was the first president; D' J. Cahill was vice president, and Ted Higgins was secretary. Ted was a good secretary, too. The records of our first convention are very complete. It is interesting to note the names of those attending. They were as follows: Los Angeles, Calif.

The Grim Reaper has taken his toll from among these first delegates. Those who have passed away are: E. E. Taenzer, Ray Ford, Otto Wahlefeld, Felix Richards.

The only firms among those first attendants who are out of business now are: E. F. Niehaus & Co., Richards Hardwood Co., Dieckmann Hardwood Company, and G. II. Brown Hardwood Co.

I am sure we all look back with extreme pleasure to that first meeting. Never before had Pacific Coast hardwood competitors met in such an atmosphere of cordial friendship. The bars were let down and ideas and confidences were exchanged far into the night; aye, into the morning of our second day.

Those were the prosperous times in our industry. We felt better than we have felt now for a long time. The good feeling toward one another engendered at that first gathering has lasted throughout the years, and not one of us will deny that our lives have been spiritually enriched by the rvarmth and fellowship starting from that first convention.

We have had many meetings since then, all the way from San Diego to Vancouver. We have passed through good times and bad times. We have run the gauntlet from complete individualism through the attempted organized regimentation of N.R.A., and back again, at least for a time, to running our own businesses.

As I said before. I believe we all feel better now. Busi-

C. H. White Retiring President

ness seems to be better, and during the past year we have had time to think about our own affairs. Thanks to the United States Supreme Court, we have not had to make any sudden air trips to Washington, nor to worry ourselves sick because our competitors were violating the code and nothing could be done about it. It seems to me that the year of 1935 has been one of fairly contented convalescence.

Of the future, we cannot say much. We do know that business is improving. Whether this improvement is due

tion of dues and the arranging for this convention. In this connection, I want to pay a tribute of appreciation to our able and affable secretary, Bert Bryan. He is a wonder. He has done all the work and with the very unselfish assistance of John Haring has made all the arrangements for this convention. For the entertainment, which is something else, our thanks are due to that great connoiseur of art and music, ar.rd friend of mankind, llomer Maris. These gentlemen hope you will enjoy the fruit of their efforts.

Altogether, this year's gathering seems to be a pro-

to the new deal, or in spite of the new deal, is a matter of opinion, colored by the politics of each individual.

We are in the midst of a presidential election campaign. Let us hope that this year will be different from other election years and that the upswing of business will not be interfered with by the bitterness of the campaign, or by any acts of Congress now in session.

World conditions are precarious and we don't know what to expect. However, we are happier now than we were a year ago. Let's have hope and courage and we will 'win out to better days.

Speaking as the president of this organization, I can say that no great questions have arisen for decision by our membership. My tenure of office has been a sinecure. The only work of this administration has been collec-

pitious occasion. Let's take heart again and carry on to recovery.

Messages regretting their absence from the convention from D. J. Cahill, Western Harwood Lumber Co., Los Angeles, and J. Fyfe Smith, J. Fyfe Smith Co., Vancouver, B. C., were read by the secretary.

Reports of business conditions were given by members from all the different territories, and without exception these were optimistic regarding the outlook for the hardwood business on the Pacific Coast.

Talks on Small Farm Structures Heads N.L.M.A. Promotion Department

An interesting talk was given by Max E. Cook, agricultural engineer, The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, at the Pacific Coast Section Meeting of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, held at Davis, Calif., January 10 and 11.

The subject assigned to him was "Small Farm Structures. Standardization and Closer Utilization of Lumber in the Development of Minor Structures and Accessories."

While not advocating prefabrication for farm dwellings and farm structures other than the smaller utility structures and accessories, Mr. Cook did illustrate by the use of scale miniatures or models of Sectional Septic Tanks and poultry Feeders some of the results accomplished by him to date in his work for The Pacific Lumber Company.

In highlighting the demand for structures that will lower farm production costs, either by developing lower unit cost structures or through improved types that will efiect economy in farm management, he made observation that the best recommendations from the most reliable sources are of little value if the farmer cannot be induced to follow them. He stressed the key position of the retail lumber dealer in influencing the farmer in the solution of his building problems. He maintained that the farmer much prefers to be actually shown rather than told how to improve his structures. He also brought out important advantages of standardized prefabricated structures, not the least important and valuable of which is definite control of the grade of materials most suitable to insure satisfactorv service and long life.

For the Betterment of Business Competitive Mountain States Retailers Hold Annual Relationships and Employer-Employee Meeting at Denver Relations

Rotarian Joe Todd of the Western Door & Sash Co., Oakland, has asked The California Lumber Merchant to publish "Paul's Letter to the Galatians" as taken from Goodspeed and Smith's, "The Short Bible," in behalf of the Vocational Service Committee of the Oakland Rotary Club. The Committee thinks it applies to our present business, political and financial troubles as well as the day it was written, and would like to see this published in the different trade journals.

"For you, brothers, have been called to freedom; only do not make your freedom an. excuse for the physical, but in love be slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in one saying: 'You must love your neighbor as you do yourself.' But if you bite one another and eat one another, take care, or you will be destroyed by one another.

"I mean this: Live by the Spirit, and then you will not indulge your physical cravings. For the physical cravings are against the Spirit, and the cravings of the Spirit are against the physical; the two are in opposition, so that you cannot do anything you please. But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not subject to law. The things our physical nature does are clear enough-immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party-spirit, envy, drunkenness, carousing and the like. I warn you as I did before that people who do such things will have no lhare in the Kingdom of God. But what the Spirit produces is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. There is no law against such things !

"If we live by the Spirit, let us be guided by the Spirit. Let us not in our vanity challenge one another or envy one another. But if a man is caught doing something wrong, brothers, you are spiritual, and you must set him right, in a spirit of gentleness. Think of yourself, for you may be tempted, too. Bear one another's burdens; and in that way carry out the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is somebody when he is really nobody, he is deceiving himself. Every man ought to test his own work and then whatever satisfaction he has will be with reference to himself, and not in comparison with someone else. FOR EVERYONE WILL HAVE TO CARRY HIS OWN LOAD."

Whv G.mble with your Net Profits ?

Business todoy presents enough notural hazards without increasing thc risk by out-dnd-out gambling with your net profits.

Certain of thesc hazards, such as market fluctuations, €tc., are beyond your immediat€ control. One major hazard, howcver, over which you crn exercise a lorge meitsurc of control is-Credit Losses.

Credit losses can, and often do, take the "net" out of "net profits" and turn black ink into red.

How Can Credit Losses Be Controlled ?

ft doesn't require a mysterious or complicated formula to control credit losses but simply sound judgment backcd up by sound credit facts. For sixty yedrs the Lumbermen's Credit Association has been furnishing sound credit focts to back up the judgment of those selling the lumber and woodworking trade.

In the course of this rvork he gained a wide acquaintanceship with rail and cargo mills in the Northwest.

Mark D. Campbell, vice president of Campbell-Moore Lumber Co., is rvell known in California, having been 18 years rvith the Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Co. in various capacities, and for a number of years was manager of their rail department. It is a coincidence that Mark and Jimmy are again associated after working together for many years.

Frank Moore, secretary of Campbell-Moore Lumber Co., is located in Minneapolis, and makes frequent trips to the Pacific Coast.

Campbell-Moore Lumber Co. is associated with the Washington Wood Preserving Co. of Spokane, and the Pendleton-Gilkey Co. of Minneapolis. The latter firm is a large timber holder, and also operates three mills in British Columbia.
