Many dealers, architects and builders teil us that

they like the new Simpson Decorative fileboard better because, among other things, it has a more attractive and serviceable finish. Simpson's specially developed gardenia-white finish gives a heavler and more durable covering. For this reason Simpson Decorative Tileboard is highly desirable for interior finish. It makes attractive, economical and serviceable interior walls above the wainscoting, dado or chair rail, along with the ceiling. It provides a suitable and inexpensive ceiling and wall insulation. This new tileboard has a natural finish bevel for decorative advantages. It has a perfected tongue and groove joint for quick, easy and permanent application. T'his improved product, made from long strong fibers of Douglas Flr is now being delivered to our distributors. Ask them about its advantages.

How Lrumber l-rooks

Portland, February 12-Shipments of Pacific Northwest lumber during January, 1948, topped those for January a year ago by more than 30,000,000 board feet, while production continued a steady upswing, H. V. Simpson, executive vice president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, announced today.

Totsl lsm6er shipments fr.om ths Douglas fir region of Oregorr and Washington during the first four weeks of 1948 were 599,358,000 board feet, 'compared to 567,778,N0 b.f. during a similar period in 1947, and 561,@8,000 b.f. during the first four weeks of 1946, Mr. Simpson said.

Nfeanrvhile the region's production rose in January to a weekly average of 154,647,000 b.f., an increase of ll.3/o over that for January, 1947. Total January production was 618,589,000 b.f., compared to 555,657,000 for January,1947, and 549,906,000 for January, 1946.

"This clearly shor.vs that more and more lumber is getting out of the producing area and into the hands of builders and contractors rvho need it," Mr. Simpson said. "The industry's log inventory is high, and it is probable that equally substantial shipments will continue to be made in months to come."

Orders also showed an increase, the r,l,eekly average during January being 158,612,@0 b.f., up 25,729,0N b.{. from tlre weekly average for December,1947, and up 779,000 b.f from January a year ago. Total orders, first four t'eeks,

1948, 634,448,000 b.f.; four weeks, 1947, 631,330,000; four weeks, 1946, 561,098,000.

Orders for fbur weeks of 1948 break down as follows: Rail, 430,237,000 b.f.; Domestic Cargo, 109,960,000 b.f.; Export, 30,263,000 ; Local, 63,952,000.

Ths Western Pine Association for the week ended January 24, 113 mills reporting, gave orders as 74,484,0A0 f.eet, shipments 70,753,W feet, and production 58,158,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the r.'r'eek totaled 194.508.000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the 'rveel< ended January 31, 79 units (102 mills) reporting, gave orders as 75,237,A00 feet, shipments 11,373,000 feet, and production 9.556.000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the rveek totaled 70.140.000 feet.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the rveek ended January 24, 153 mills reporting, gave orders as 118,045,000 feet, shipments 109,140,0O0 feet, and production 105.645.000 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the rveek totaled 515,284,0ff) feet.

For the week ended January 31, 156 mills reporting, gave orders as 106,715,000 feet, shipments 102,655,000 feet, and production 105,017,000 feet. Unfilled orders at the end of the u'eek totaled 521.071.000 feet.

\7CLA Re-Elected All Officers at 37th Annual Meeting

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association named six new directors and reelected all officers at its 37th Annual Meeting January D and 30 in Portland, Oregon. Approximately 250 members from the Douglas fir region of Oregon and Washington attended.

Renamed president was C. W. Ingham, vice president of the Fischer Lumber Company of Marcola, Oregon. Other officers reelected with Mr. Ingham are Judd Greenman, Oregon-American Lumber Company, Vernonia, Oregon, vice president for Oregon; Corydon Wagner, St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company, Tacoma, Washington, vice president for Washington; Frank A. Graham, Hills Creek Lumber Company, Jasper, Oregon, treasurer; W. B. Greeley, Seattle, vice president; H. V. Simpson, Portland, Oregon, executive vice president; and Harris E. Smith, Portland, Oregon, secretary.

- Ne* directors are Robert R. Waltz, Seattle-Snohomish Mill Company, Snohomish, Washington; Edmund Hayes, Row River Lumber Company, Portland; Clarence Miller, I. P. Miller Lumber Company, Monroe, Oregon; Lester J. Harding, Columbia-Hudson Lumber Company, Bradwood, Oregon; B. G. Barker, Fortson Mill Company, Fortson, Washington, and H. R. Hamilton, Gardiner Lumber Company, Gardiner, Oregon.

Pacific Northwest lumber producers were promised more freight cars in 1948 by Col. J. Monroe Johnson, director of the Office of Defense Transportation, Washington, D. C., who spoke at the annual banquet January D.

Colonel Johnson warned, however, that if manufacturers increased production another 10 or 15 per cent-as was done during L947-transportation would again become a bottleneck.

Colonel Johnson protested that complaints which had reached him about freight car shortages could not be attributed to railroad inefficiency. At least a partial explanation, he said, lay in the fact that the number of sawmills in the Pacific Northwest had increased substantially, and that some mills had established two shifts.

"There will be more freight cars available in 1948," the Washington executive said, "because of an expected decline in wheat production.

"You here in the Douglas fir region slipped up on us with your tremendous increase in production-I think you

surprised yourselves. But I promise to give you your fair share of cars next year and not one damn car more."

Other key speakers at the two-day session included Frank Belgrano, Jr., president of the First National Bank of Portland, who spoke on the topic, "Rehabilitation of Europe and Asia Now-or Worldwide Chaos Later;" and R. A. Colgan, Jr., executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Waihington, D. C., who discussed the possibility of allocating lumber production.

Mr. Colgan said it was his belief that "it will just be impossible to allocate lumber in any way. Even ir1 wartime the problem was too great."

Mahogany Annual Meeting

The Mahogany Association, fnc., held its annual meeting in Chicago and elected the following officers: President, Frank A. Fricker, Weis Fricker Mahogany Co., Pensacola, Florida; Vice President, Stewart Smythe, Jr., Stewart Smythe Mahogany Co., Philadelphia, Pa.; Treasurer, Walter Jones, Mengel Company, Louisville, Ky.; SecretaryManager, Geo. N. Lamb, Chicago, Ill.

The highlight of the meeting was the premiere showing to the membership of the association new color sound moving picture Mahogany, Wood of the Ages-Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. This film, authorized at the last annual meeting, has already met with high approval at the January furniture markets and was fully up to the expectations of the membership.

It was the consensus of opinion among the members that, barring unfavorable weather conditions, or other unexpected turn of political or economic events, the supply of mahogany would improve considerably before the end of 1948.

The Mahogany Association began its corporate existence in l9Z2 and Secretary Lamb has been secretary-manager since 1934. The most important and the most active committee in the association is the Trade Promotion Committee which has charge of advertising, publicity and the motion picture program. The membership of this committee is as follows:

I. T. Williams, Ichabod T. Williams and Sons, chairman; J. J. Bonneau, J. J. Bonneau Company; Geo. H. Dayton, J.H. Monteath Company; Stewart Smythe, Jr.; C. H. Thompson, Thompson Mahogany Company; Frank A. Fricker. ex officio.

llon't Be "Too Busv To Live"

There was once a famous American business man who was always so overwhelmingly busy that it got so they used to say about him around his own office that, "IIe is too busy to live."

Time proved that to be a fact, and not just a figure of speech. He was so busy with his own great business operations, his innumerable meetings and conferences and works and worries, that he had no time to rest, no time to reflect, no time to get out in the open air, no time to breathe deeply; to think quietly, to relax, to play with children and imbibe their youthfulness, to take the exercise that Providence intended men should take if they are to be healthy and happy. He couldn't do these things. He hadn't time.

And long, long before his "appointed time," figuring it on general averages, he blew up with a loud crash, and nothing that could be done for him was of any avail, because he had undermined the foundations, weakened the fundamentals of life, and left nothing to fight with.

And so, regardless of how busy he had been, he was called suddenly away from his work, his worry, his conferences, his plans, and his achievements. Had he lived he couldn't have been hired to admit that these things could

An tditorial

get along rvithout his personal attention for a single hour, while he rested, and relaxed, and gave himself a chance.

But he left for all time, and his afiairs and the rest of the world rocked along in the same old way. He WAS a great man, but he had to die to find out that he wasn't indispensable, and that the world could. get along without his tremendous personal atte.ntion.

If he could have learned this a little sooner, he might have lived much longer, enjoyed himself much more, got more out of life and put more into it, and altogether made a much better job of the business of living than he did.

Don't be "too busy to live." Blessed and wise is that man who realizes that a necessary part of every day's business is some time given to contemplation, and relaxation, and relitif from the direct cares of business things.

That doesn't mean to neglect- your affairs. Not in the least. But so mix your work with your play that your work will be better and last longer, and you will give more of yourself to your family and your friends, and take more out of the world because you have done so.

The poorest of all humans is he who leaves the rvorld and has taken nothing from it but money, and given nothing to it but energies directed to money making.

"I don't like good times," Lee Shipley quotes Old Man Sikes of Ourville 'as saying: "they make overalls cost too much." And then, says Shipley, "Philosopher Sikes laid his finger on the great American weakness, which is that in periods of prosperity millions of Americans quit cutting corners." He says "millions who used to have kitchen gardens and back yard chicken coo,ps quit bothering with such things-and then blame rising cost of food on other folks." ***

Looks like there is more sense to that remark than to any of the recent talk in Washington about the high cost of living and what to do about it.

Partners in Profits for 25 Years!

For 25 years-ever since Wood Conversion Company was founded-there has been only ONE answer to the question, "Who Sells Balsam-Wool?"

That answer is simple: Balsam-Wool is sold by lumber dealers ONLY.

What does that policy mean to you? It means that when you sell Balsam-Wool, you share in a protected profit partnership. It means security frern "enhid6'rand often unethical-competition. It means that you have the inside ttack on an insulation sale whenever you sell other materials for home consffuction-that you will not be undersold by competitors offering a lower price for the sanie product.

That "keeping the waters of the world muddy" is a classic, and tells in a few veords what innumerable other writers have failed to tell thotrgh they used volumes. I don't think the present world situation is half understood by the vast majority of people. The fact is that a few men, sitting in thi Kremlin, stand squarely in the way of the peace and happiness of more than two billion people in this world, and say fs ffugs1-"you shall not pass." Just like that. If that little group of Godless creatures would step aside and let nature take its course, the whole face of the world would begin to smile. Hope would replace hopelessness; peace would replace war; smiles would replace tears; happiness would replace agony; health would replace tragedy and starvation; countless millions of women and little children would smile again; wretchedness would be replaced by joy; and the entire world would begin an upward march toward the sunlight of peace and prosperity. A new world would be born the very minute that group of men permitted it. Atl the horrors that now beset the people of this world, are chargeable to them. That such a thing could be seems hardly crediblebut the facts speak for themselves. That little group of Godless men have muddied the waters of the world, and they will stay muddied and the world will remain tragic, until something is done about them. ***

About fifty years back William Allen White sprang into national prominence when he wrote an editorial that swept the country like a forest fire. He called it "What's the Matter With Kansas?" The editorial made him famous. Too bad the old boy from Emporia isn't here today to write an up-to-date editorial along the same line asking "what's the matter with this country?" He could do full justice to this situation, just as he did to the frailties of his state of Kansas two generations back. Look at this Russian situation. Right this minute our American diplomatic representatives in Moscow are strictly confined to quarters, spied on continually by the Russian secret police, and forbidden to deviate in the slightest fro,m their official duties while in Russia. And over here we allow swarms of Russians of every kind and character to enter this country, to roam at will, and do what they please. We have no't the

faintest idea where most of them are. We are certain they are all spies. We know that most of them utter limitless insults to this country whenever they speak in public. And we stand for it. 'We are doing nothing to change the situation. And while the biggies of the Ruskies live over here lavishly, move in the best society, hnd are housed like kings (like kings used to be housed), they go the utmost limit in abusing everything American, on every occasion. Wonder what old Editor White would say about such conditions? Can't help wondering, myself, if a nation so softheaded or soft-hearted as to allow such conditio'ns, is fit to own the freedom it so highly praises yet so fearfully gambles with?

Why don't we limit the activities-and the t.ongues-of our Russian visitors to exactly the same extent that they Iimit us? From every major port in the United States shipments of valuable American goods are going to Russia in a steady stream of ships, just as we used to ship stuff to Japan before the last war. Are w€, do you suppose, a nation that learns nothing by experience? To the layman, it looks as though all these weird and insensible conditions could be easily rearranged. fs there some law that says we must always be the fall guy? Must we always turn the other cheek when slapped on one? Must we smile and say thank you when the Vishinsky's and the Gromyko's spit on our polished shoes? And if so-why? We don't have to make war talk. We don't have to indulge in personalities. All we have to do is say politely to Russia-"from now on we use the double system of rule making; the rules you make for us, we shall copy for you; we shall simply do unto you as you do unto us." And we might add, "the next foreigner who stands on American soil and utters insults to America and Americans is going to get kicked to hell out of here on a one way ticket before his insults are cold in his whiskered puss." Then we'll be getting somewhere.

Production of Douglas Fir Stock Doors Hit A New High Mark in 1947

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 2-Production of more than 7,851,000 Douglas fir stock doors in 1947 hit a new high mark in output, Norman O. Cruver, president of the Fir Door Institute, declared here today.

"This production," said Mr. Cruver, "represents an increase of 54 per cent over the preceding year (1946), and an increase of 195 per cent over 1945."

Mr. Cruver said the industry's production figures 'ivere compiled at the headquarters of the Fir Door Institute, here, and included the output of both member and nonmember companies of that organization.

"Production of Douglas fir stock doors,".said Mr. Cruver, "totalled 5,094,000 for the entire industry in 1946, and 2,659,W for 1945.

"By greatly increasing the output of stock doors over the past three-year period, the Douglas fir door industry, representing approximately 70 per cent of the nation's stock door business, has demonstrated its belief that by increased production, inflationary threats can be met in a logical and satisfactory manner.

"There is a continuing demand for better housing on the part of millions of American citizens. To deprive these nren ancl women of decent homes, by cutting down their nloney supply, is no way to meet this problem of demand.

"By increasing its productive capacity 195 per cent in tu'o years, to meet the demand for more and more homes, the fir door industry is demonstrating that American manufacturers possess, by and large, the ability and the re-

sources to satisfy the new Ameri,can consumer market.

"The industry, by new production techniques, by additions to its existing plants, is now within measurable distance of balancing production again_st the thousands of new homes in process of construction.

"ft is such all-out production, on a national scale, that will eventually halt present inflationary pressures."

Mr. Cruver said that hand-in-hand with this greatlv increased production there was a marked improvement in the quality of the industry's grades over the past year.

"Seven months ago," said Mr. Cruver, "the Fir Door Institute inaugurated an inspection system, open to both members and non-members of the organization. The standards set were those adopted by the industry in cooperation with distributors, consumers, and the Bureau of Standards in Washington.

"Compahies producing doors according to those industrywide standards have the privilege of grade-marking their products with the FDI seal.

"The number of .companies using the FDI seal is such that today a substantial proportion of all fir doors produced bear the grade marks, indicating that more and more fir door manufacturers are anxious to produce doors according to these high standards."

Mr. Cruver said that, barring unforeseen developments, it was likelv Douglas fir door production, for the entire industry, would total 8,500,000 stock doors this vear.

The tourist paid him the two bits, and went on his way. This happend at very high tide.

The very next day the same tourist came down to the same spot for another jarof ocean water. Again the beachcomber approached and demanded 25 cents. The tourist looked at the ocean, which was now at low tide, and saw that the level of the water was fully two feet lower than it had been the day before.

"Good Lord !" he exclaimed in amazement. "You sure been doing a whale of a lot of business here, haven't you?"

New Automatic Hydraulic-Operated Lumber Truck UnloadingDevice

An entirely new, fully automatic, hydraulic-operated lumber truck unloading device which allows lumber to be unloaded quickly, with precision and complete control has recently been announced by Paul Penberthy, president, Penberthy Lumber Company, Los Angeles, California.

The use of the unloader arm allows lumber loads to be deposited exactly where they are wanted (even on carrier blocks) without the customary thunderous crash and needless, costly breakage.

In successful operation at the present time, the new unloader arm, which may be installed easily on any lumber truck, is an extra roller supporting the tail end of the load and is part of a cranked arm pivoted under the rear end of the chassis. ft is maintained in position by a hydraulic cylinder attached to a bel crank on the unloader hinge tubes. To unload, the lumber is rolled back to a point of balance between the last fixed roller and the unloader arm. A hydraulic control valve is then opened from a remote control unit on the rear of the left body panel, or from a unit on the steering column in the cab. This action allorvs fluid to escape from the cylinder, permitting the cranked unloader arm to descend in an arc, tilting the snubbed load until it rolls gently, rear end to the ground.

The truck is then moved forward until the front end of the load rests solidly on the unloader arm, which is then allowed to continue its descent to the ground. Power for the unloader arm return is supplied by an aircraft seven cylinder hydraulic pump operated by a six volt electric motor. Switch buttons are located at both remote control stations. Micro-switch over-travel interrupters are used to protect the electric and hydraulic circuits.

The truck itself is unique in the lumber field. Designed by Wellington Everett Miller and built by Bohman & Son, Pasadena, the new truck has metal oak-lined body sides three-quarter cab high the complete length of the truck.

J. W. (Jim) Steele, formerly with Pope & Talbot, Inc., Lumber Division, and Twin Harbors Lumber Co., has joined Atkinson-Stutz Co., and will cover Washington and a portion of Oregon, calling on the mills. W. J. (Bill) Ryan, of the Grants Pass office of Atkinson-Stutz Co., is norv calling on the mills in Southern Oregon.

'Ihese sides swing open from the center to allorv conventional loading methods. Complete fenders front and rear, roller pillar blocks and floor pans are a close knit unit that protects loads from dirt, grease and rvater. A further innovation is an extension tail light mounted on an Appleton "Reel-lite" 25-lool cord with a "C" clamp for attaching to load for after-dark operations.

For further and more detailed information rvrite to the manufacturer, Penberthy Lumber Company, 5800 South Boyle Ave., Los Angeles 11, California.

Harry W. Aldrich, of H. W. Aldrich Lumber Co., Ettgene, Oregon, was a recent San Francisco and Fresno visitor on his way to Arizona, Texas and Louisiana. He will also call on a number of hardrvood mills in the south. He is accompanied by his wife and daughter on the trip, which is being made by automobile.

Tells Committee That Price and Allocltion Controlg Vill Not Work in Lumber Indurtry

E. Bruce Hill, president of the E. M. Hill Lumber Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, appeared before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee on Monday, Janaary 26, and told the Committee of his experience with price and allocation controls during and after the war. Mr. Hill, during the war, was chairman of the Softwood Distribution Yard Industry Advisory Committee to the O.P.A. and a member of the Lumber Retail Distribution Advisory Committee to the War Production Board. Mr. Hill appeared before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee which is considering Senator Barkley's bill, S. 1888, which would authorize the reinstatement of price controls, and Senator Tobey's bill S. 2023, which would authorize the reinstatement of priorities and allocation controls.

"The retail lumber industry is opposed to the renerval of price and allocation control at either the producer or retail level," Mr. Hill told the Committee. He explained that bitter experience has taught this industry that the reimposition of such controls would (1) retard production; (2) disrupt the distribution system, (3) result in driving commodities into the black market, and (4) present the government with an unsurmountable compliance problem.

"The distribution system was completely disrupted during and after the war by price and allocation controls," said Mr. Hill, "and the industry is only beginning to recover from the effects of those controls."

It was the very type of controls now being considered by Congress which so disrupted the distribution system

that it took as long as nine months to complete a home, he continued.

Mr. Hill agreed that everyone would like to see the price of lumber come down, but in his opinion the re-establishment of contro'ls would have an opposite effect and would drive prices higher.

"What we need," said Mr. Hill, "is more production, reduced Federal expenditures, increased productivity of labor, a thorough review of the export programs, and not controls, which would only aggravate the problem of inflation."

Redwood Seasoning Committee Meeting "CALDOR" lmporting Doors from Sweden

,l San Francisco, January 21, 1948.-Alert to the current dry lumber situation, the Redwood Seasoning Committee bf the Cali{ornia Redwood Association held its first 1948 peeting early in January to consider application of timelv b.dvances in the technique of drying Redwood lumberpndings made available in the course of- developments at' the committee's experimental kiln at Eureka, California.

The meeting was held at The Pacifc Lumber Company headquarters in Scotia, Calif., January 10. Leslie W. Lane, The Pacific Lumber Company, was elected 1948 chairman of the committee, and Ed. M. Carpenter of the same company r".as elected secretary. Retiring 1947 chairman and secretary were Harry Sherman, Hammond Lumber Co., Samoa, and George Gregersen, Holmes Eureka I-umber Co., Eureka.

With production of Redwood lumber properly dried for its intended use uppermost in mind, discussions of. the 26 attending kiln operators covered all seasoning studies as continr.red through 1947. Among the projects considered rvere the completion during the year of schedules on drying one-inch iight green Redwood direct from the sarv and scheduleS, on varioug periods of pre-seasoning with final kiln drying trebtment : effects on drying with various thicknesses of stickers, and the analyses made throughout the year on proper segregation of materials for drying purposes. It rvas decided that during 1948 considerable time rvould be devoted to proper drying of sinker Redrvood.

Let lLs Know Your Lumber Requir"^"nts

Grcrciousness

There is one virtue that no man or woman in the business world should neglect to cultivate. It is GRACIOUSNESS. A service rendered with graciousness is magnified to the person served until it seems-as indeed it is-a far greater service. Graciousness isn't toadyism. It isn't fawning. It is not an assumed thing, put on and off like a garment. It is courtesy, kindness, helpfulness, and understanding.

Boredom

A profound thinker once said: The greatest of human miseries, the most dleadly .of diseases, is one we cannot touch \ rith a knife, or reach with drugs. I mean BOREDOM. There is more real wretchedness, rnore torment driving men to folly, due to boredom than to anything else. Men and women will do almost anything, fling them. selves into lost hopes and crazy ventures, to escape it. They will drink, drug themselves, prostitute their bodies, and sell their souls; they will take up mad causes, organize absurd crusades; they will torment themselves and torture other people to escape the misery of being bored. Anyone who can discover a cure for boredom, would put an end to more misery and tragedy than all doctors put together.

Becrl Ambition

The teacher said: "Willie, what is your greatest ambition?"

Willie said: "Well, teacher, I think it is to take off my belt and lead Father out to the woodshed."

Kind Words

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheerful words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled by them.

-Henry Ward Beecher

Trecrting Them Gently

She was being shown around a fox farm. After admiring a beautiful silver specimen she asked the guide:

"Just how many times riray a fox be robbed of his fur?"

He answered gravely: "Only three times, Madam. Any more than that might spoil his temper."

The taw

For this is the law of the jungle, ft's as old and as true as the sky, And the wolf that shall keep it wiU prosper, And the wolf that shall break it-must die; As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, The law runneth forward and back, That the strength of the pack, is the wolf, And the strength of the wolf, is the pack.

-Rudyard Kipling At Fontcineblecru

My love and I to Fontainebleau

Drove through the slanting, silver rain; Never was fairer way to go Than that same road to Fontainebleau. For slender dreams were blossoming: Its cloth of gold and mauve, the spring, Through fragrant rain, Was offering.

Fluttering leaves at Fontainebleau

Where sheathed in silver as a sword, \Mere starred with many a pearl, and O, Our hours were short at Fontainebleau ! All other days may pass and fade

But not this one that love had made For our reward

In light arrayed.

Do you remember FontainebleauThis swift turned tree, that drowsy bloom, Such song from lark and thrush as though Our hearts were pierced at Fontainebleau?

I can recall your softest sigh

That as a white moth drifted by, And each perfume, And our-goodby.

Every man who aspires to have a PERMANENT BUSINESS must give heed unto the morrow.

Today we are prosperous-today we have more business in sight than we dreamed existed only a few years ago-today we are moving under the impetus of nation-wide campaigns-but tomorrolr is coming.

Today we are having the "fat years"-but there may be "lean years" to follow-and the wise man is storing his warehouse now against the time of famine.

He is laying up stores of CONFIDENCE-and TRUST -and KNOWLEDGE-and all those other "emotional trade builders" that will prove so immensely valuable to him when ihe "big rush" is over.

He is not neglecting the "little fellow"-the "small order" -in the rush of filling the big bills-for he knows that the little man of today will be the big man of tomorrow.

The man who buys a board for a shelf today will be in the market for a HOME tomorrow-and he will buy that HOME from the man who took pains to fit him out satisfactorily with a single board.

An tditorial

Prosperiiy is the true test of a man's soul. Adversity may show his GOODNESS-buI prosperity will bring out his BADNESS.

"I haven't time to bother with small stuff"-is the confession of POOR BUSINESS QUALIFICATIONS. It shows narrow and limited trade vision. It proves a small mind.

There is more to the building material business than the dealer's side of it; there is more than swapping MATERIAL for MONEY.

There is also the PROVIDING OF SHELTER-Ihe securing of comfort and happiness and cleanliness'and convenience. There is the BUILDING OF A COMMUNITY -there is the MAKING OF HOMES.

And he who neglects to foster the SMALL ORDER is killing at its source the DESIRE FOR BUILDING-for IMPROVEMENT-on which rests the very foundation of the building material industry.

TAKE HEED UNTO THE MORROW AND FOSTER THE SMALL ORDER.

Galleher Hardwood Co. in New \(/arehouse

' Galleher Hardwood Co., r,vholesale hardn ood flooring dealers, recently moved to their new building at fl30 Avalon Boulevard, Los Angeles 3. The building is 7O by 26 feet, and is of con'crete block construction, with a summerbell roof. The rest of the property, also 70 by 200 feet, is paved 'ivith concrete. There is a t'ivo-car private sprrr at the rear, and another two-car spur is available nearby.

It can be said that no finer flooring r,varehouse than this exists anywhere. Flooring, rvhich at present is mainly oak and pecan, rvith some maple and beech, is handled by a conveyor system. There is storage room for several million feet of flooring, in addition to other items such as thresholds, base shoe, stepping, and oak sills. A good job has been done in the matter of planning accessibility and ease of handling of materials.

A feature that will appeal to warehouse employees is the shor'r,er and wash room provided especially for them.

In the offices flooring samples have been used effectively for rvainscoting on three sides with birch panels on the other. In Mr. Galleher's private office there are birch panels on three sides and oak plank on the side 'ivhich contains the fireplace. Parquet flooring laid in mastic over concrete is used on the floor. Acousti-Celotex is used on all the ceilings. Latest type fluorescent lighting has been installeri throughout.

Price Controls Will Defeat Purpose, Says \(/eyerha€user lfitness

Washington, D. C., January 26, 1948.-R. S. Douglass, executive assistant to the general manag'er, Weyerhaeuser Sales Co., St. Paul, Minn., testified today before the Senate Banking & Currency Committee that price control will not be effe,ctive in producing housing lumber at low prices.

"On the contrary," he said, "if high production is wanted, high prices will bring itout." Pointing out that the lumber industry, like agriculture, consists of many thousans of small units, he stated that imposition of price controls will cause marginal producing units to close down and thus bring about the scarcities which existed under OPA.

Mr. Douglass pointed out that finished lumber is the product of a train of separate processes, each usually by an independent operator. At any one stage in the manufacture the product can be diverted to uses other than housing lumber if such uses are more profitable. Manmade controls, as OPA so amply demonstrated, cannot maintain equitable ratios between the various finished items a log will yield, he stated.

Tercphones: BUji:u 3:3333

The Weyerhaeuser spokesman cited the situation which price control develops in the wholesale and retail field. When the supply of a needed item is short the retailer buys some other type of lumber and remanufactures it to the needed specifications adding a perfectly legitimate profit. Thus a reduction in price at the mill doesn't necessarily find its way to the consumer, he said.

Calling attention to the ineffectiveness oT first the N.R. A., then the OPA as price regulation agencies, Mr. Douglass stated that controls can be imposed upon larger units to some extent but that the small units will escape. It is these small units which produce the bulk of our lumber. "The builder would pay the price in the end," he concluded,

Not Connected With Firm OI Similcr Name

Since selling out their interests in O'Neill Lumber Company, and opening up their own wholesale business under the name of O'Neill Brothers, this firm has enjoyed a steady and satisfactory growth.

At first there was some confusion owing to the similarity of the names of the two concerns, but now O'Neill Brothers, whose headquarters are in the Merchants Exchange Building, San Francisco, have established themselves as doing a wholesale business exclusively, with no retail connections whatsoever

Executive Oflices in Secrttle

Announcement has been made that C. H. Kreinbaum, president of the Simpson Logging Company, Shelton, Wash.. has established his executive offices at 1010 White Building, Seattle, Wash.

WANTED ! CUSTOMERS WITH PRIVATE FREIGHT CARS

San Francisco, January 29, l948-Recently authorized plans of the California Redu'ood Association, San Francisco, call for an expanded program in 1948. The enlarged activities include immediate resumption of certain important consumer and distributor services that rvere susoended during the war.

Three broad objectives feature the stepped-up program: The Association will direct every effort toward solution of problems arising out of the current extraordinary demand facing the inadequate supply of rvell manufactured, properly graded and seasoned Redu'ood. It will seek information to help itself and member companies plan more effectively to meet the long-term needs of Redrvood users. Ground-work will be laid for further expansion of services when the Redwood supply-dernand situation has stabilized.

Dealer and consumer aids for merchandising and use of Redwood will be offered through the follorving six projects:

1. Literature of the Association rvill be exoanded and brought up to date.

2.A new sound-color film to replace the very popular old film "California Giants" is planned for future production.

3. Field service calls on dealers, architects, contractors, and consumers by Association staff representatives will be resumed in California.

4. The agricultural market is slated for special attention.

5. The technical information service for dealers and consumers will be continued.

6. On the score of product improvement, the Association will intensify its work rvith member companies toward improvement in manufacturing, seasoning and grading Redwood.

To speed up the expanded program, there rvill be four neu' association staff members. Philip T. Farnsworth has returned to resume his position as advertising manager. John R. Freeman will call on dealers, architects and consumers in Northern California from the San Francisco office. N[r. Freeman is long experienced in Redwood marketing, having served as Association fieldman lrom 1932 to 1934, and then for twelve years in the sales department of Holmes Eureka Lumber Co. E. R. Wuori, a forestry graduate of the lJniversity of Minnesota, .ivill do similar rvork in Southern California, working out of the Los Angeles office. A farmstead engineer rvill be added in the near future.

New Sorting Chain Instcrlled At Ios Angeles Ycrd

Baugh Brothers & Co., Los Angeles, recently completed construction of a 60-foot sbrting ,chain with space for 17 set-ups, using both sides of the chain. The chain is so constructed that lumber may be moved by lift truck, through arrangement of rail system from the chain, which does not require operations to stop while lumber is waiting to be moved, for the second pile can be placed under way at each spot without delay.

Power for the chain is supplied through a Boston Gear Company's Ratiomotor, which eliminates complicated shafting, belts, etc., by affording a sealed unit.

Construction Stcrted on New Plywood Plant

Construction on the Mutual Plywood Company plant started on January 20, according to President Stanley Groom. The plant will be built at a cost of nearly $1,750,000 on an eight and ons half acre site at Fairhaven, CalifMr. Groom hopes to have construction completed in time, to start actual production of'plywood by August 1. The company will concentrate on the production of plywood from Redwood.
