THE CALIFOR}.IIA LUMBERMERCHANT

How Lumber Looks

The week ended February 13 was the first since October 30 last year during which water shipments of lumber were made by the West Coast lumber industry. Total shipments reported by I7l down and operating mills of 110,451,509 board feet are about the same as the average weekly shipments in October just prior to the marine strike. The increase in shipments shown over those of the previous week was due entirely to resumpt:on of boat loading for domestic export markets. New business for the week totaled 96,027,587 feet.

The movement of inter-coastal lumber is being handicapped first because some ships cannot move due to the controversy between the government and the Sailor's Union over continuous discharge books, and second by the lack of adequate steamship space in which to load.

Shipping authorities state that all available steamship lumber space from the West Coast to the Atlantic Coast is sold ahead for 120 days. Lumbermen estimate that this space will simply move the lumber already sold. Therefore, such new business as can be taken is reported as likely to be May or June loading if by boat, or for more prompt delivery by railroad.

Lumbermen have been notified that the inter-coastal lumber rate will be increased from $13 per thousand feet to $14, effective April 15th.

With 171 mills reporting a total production of 86,378,419 board feet of lumber in the week ended February 13, the industry produced 54.8 per cent of its average weekly cut during lgzG9n. Mills continue to be handicapped in production by lack of cargo space and inability in individual cases to get suitable logs. Most of the logging camps in the area continue down because of snow and cold. Bad weather also is afiecting some of the inland mills. Loggers anticipate but a small volume of log production during the coming 30 days. Should the logging camps continue closed for longer than 30 days more mills will be forced to close or to curtail oPerations.

VISITS CALIFORNIA

The Western Pine Association for the week ended February 13, 115 mills reporting, gave orders as 6,774,NO feet, shipments 65,535,000 feet, and production 33,349,000 feet. Orders were 100.2 per cent above production, and 1.8 per cent above shipments. Shipments were 95.5 per cent above production. Unfilled orders on file at the end of the week totaled 357,581,000*feet.

The California Redwood Association for the week ended February 6 reported production of 13 mills as 8,960,000 feet, shipments 6,902,W feet, and new business 9,894,00O feet. Week-end orders on hand were 86,398,00O feet. The 13 identical mills reported production 6 per cent greater and new business 2 per cent greater than for the same week last Year'

Rains, and tax assessment date which falls this year on March 1, slowed up the California demand during the past few weeks.

Sea-borne lumber receipts at California ports are beginning to pick-up. Cargo receipts at Los Angeles harbor for the week ended February 20 totaled 19,812,@O feet. Stocks at the Los Angeles harbor yards which were greatly reduced during the maritime t;e-up are still low.

Picketing by the Teamsters' Union at Los Angeles harbor against non-union truck drivers continues but lumber deliveries have not been affected.

Fir cargo pr:ces are holding very firm. Cargo space is hard to get with the result that rail mills continue to do a large business. At the present time it is hard to get any of the mills, particularly rail mills, to quote on any k;nd of a regular yard inquiry.

The Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and Redwood markets are in a strong position. Prices are very firm, inventories are low, and the mills have big order files. Red Cedar shingles are strong, and production is lorv due to a shortage of logs.

BACK FROM NORTHWEST

L. W. MacDonald, MacDonald & Bergstrom, [nc., Los Angeles, has returned from a trip to the Northwest where he visited the mills.

A. E. Mclntosh, general manager of the West Oregon Lumber Co., Linnton, Ore., was a recent California visitor, spending a few days in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Drive on for Extension of Tide I

Title I of the National Housing Act which provides Government guarantee of private banks and financial institutions to home owners for remodeling work will expire on April 1, 1937, unless extended by Congress.

The National Lumber Dealers Association is leading the drive to have legislation passed at this session of Congress. A series of conferences, composed of industrial representatives, were held in Washington around the first of February. The group called on Stewart McDonald, Federal Housing Administrator, and Senator Robert Wagner, Chairman of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee, on February 2, to secure their cooperation.

Mr. McDonald told the delegation that he was very much impressed with this group meeting, because he was under the impression there was not much demand for continuation of Title I. He assured them, that while he personally felt as he did, he would not oppose any activity on their part.

Frank Carnahan, secretary of the National Lumber Dealers Association on February 3, addressed a letter to the members of Congress pointing out the many advantages of Title I and urging the immediate passage of legislation for its continuation.

Mr. Carnahan asks all retail lumber dealers to write their individual Senators and Representatives at Washington requesting the extension of Title I.

Since these conferences, bills have been introduced in both the House and Senate. The Senate bill provides for a continuation of Title I for two years, and the House bill calls for an extension of one year.

President Roosevelt, on February 20, signed the bill extending for two years the guarantee provision under Title II.

Silentite \(indow Stands Test in Flood

Those interested in building or the architectural profession are no doubt wondering how building materials used in the Ohio valley withstood the water and mud.

The Silentite Pre-Fit Window. familiar to readers of these columns, and a product of the Curtis Companies, came through the flood in wonderful condition. One of the sample frame and windows was on display in a Cincinnati dealer's office.

The Pierson Lumber Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, in telling of this window, writes as follows:

"For your information rve have submitted our old sample mullion Silentite window frame to an acid test. You will remember this frame was an original model, several years old. The water covered this frame for five days. This morning we raised the frame out of the mud and the window worked perfectly. All the balance of the office windows are immovable. The window beads and inside trim warped, but the window, the screen and the storm sash did not show any effect of being under water."

The Kansas dust storms also proved the Silentite window to be dustproof. These two tests are some of the reasons why the Silentite window is in popular demand.

Dependable Quality Uniform Grades Friendly Service

Vagabond Editorials

Bv Jack Dionne

Four things that I may happy be, I pray that God will give to me; Someone to love with all my heart, Something to do by toil or art, Something to hope for farther on, A memory sweet to muse upon.

Lincoln once said that God must love the common people, He made so many of them. Reasoning the same way it seems to me that mankind must truly love wooden things, he remains so loyal to them. As I look about me today at the building that the people of this nation are doing, that thought is foremost in my mind. ***

After years and years of depression and little building activity, people who build are using wood in even greater proportion to the total material consumed than they did before the depression started. And that in spite of the fact that practically nothing has been done during the past six or more years to definitely and directly promote the use of wood.

*.rF *

And that in spite of all the misunderstanding and misinformation that exists with regard to wood and its products. Just the other day I sat in an old rustic club building, where prorninent in the construction of the interior were some 12 by 12 timbers. A highly intelligent lady who sat next to me at dinner and discussed with me the construction of the building, remarked to me that this building was unique because of those square timbers, because, she said, "you can't get timbers like those any more.', fn answer to my inquiry she assured me that she had been told that very definitely. Those t2by l2's were unique, she thought. And it sort of shattered her concepts when I assured her that they were still as common as pig tracks around a country school house, drd as easy to get as bread at a bakery.

**t

And continually I run into just such strange ideas. And what that one lady had heard, no doubt many other people had heard and likewise believed. I often wonder just what volume the lumber business would attain to if it were better understood, and there was a better job of publicizing of wood being done throughout the nation. Every time f turn around, someone mentions to me in grieved tones

what a pity it is that people "can't get lumber :rny more like they did in the old days." And I have a desperate time trying to make them believe-and usually failing, I admit, in spite of my best efrorts-that you can get just as goodand even better-lumber today, anywhere and for any purpose, that you ever got in history. They listen, but sort of shake their heads.

**t

The fact that we are living in a day of shoddy, and that we undoubtedly DO manufacture and sell a world of lumber inferior in strength, rot-resisting quality, etc., is a point hard to get over. The fact that there are just as good quality trees growing as there ever were, and better equipment and methods for manufacturing and seasoning the stock, is not nearly well enough known and understood.

***

A Yellow Pine manufacturer told me the other day about a consumer in a certain town who wanted to buy some long-lived heart timbers, and was willing to pay whatever they were worth, and who was convincingly told by each of the several retail lumber dealers in the town that such materials were no longer to be had. Even after the mill man offered the stuff through the local dealers for pro,rnpt shipment, he had some difficulty in getting his stock handled. Which doesn't help the lumber business.

,*{(4

Lots of signs of activity in paint everywhere I go. The need for paint is probably greater than at any previotrs time in our building history. The same chronic inactivity that prevailed in building repairing lines, applied to paint also. Throughout this land there are literally millions of buildngs cryrng aloud for the brightening, saving touch of paint. The coming spring and summer should see such a clean-up, and paint-up, and repair campaign as will live in history. *tf,t

Some of the Western manufabturers of lumber have done some clever publicity work in the past few months via the moving picture route. I saw one picture that showed many details of the manufacture of Redwood. The signs on the buildings were well blotted out so. that you could not tell whose mill it was; but the scenes were marvelous, and made mighty good publicity for Redwood.

,F*!k

Another film now showing all over the country is a succession of pictures of lumbering in the Pacific Nort*rwest. Timber falling scenes, logging scenes, skidding and

loading scenes, topping the high spar trees, sawmill scenes, and dock scenes were all mixed up with a romantic story of the North woods. Fir, Hemlock, and Cedar timber is shown in beautiful photography throughout this film. And people pay their money to see them.

A whole lot of tfrat slrt+oftthing might be done by clever lurnber industry publicity men, without ever getting the mark of advertising on the pictures. fn the Northwest picture just mentioned, many misunderstandings were conveyed to the threatre-goers. For instance they showed a man climbing a high tree and cutting o,ff the top, away up there in the air. There was no explanation in the film, and many people phoned me to ask why the loggers climb the trees and cut off their tops before sawing down the tree. I had to explain that they don't, that they simply top one tree in each logging area, and then use that topless trunk for the spar-tree which they convert into a gteat derrick for hauling the logs from woods to railroad. But it looked to the layman as though the loggers topped all the trees first, and then sawed them down; which WAS hard to understand.

Every time I think of publicizing lumber or wood products f think of Beaver Board. f have probably remarked this many times before. But there never was quite so thorough an example of successful advertising. Beaver Board was the first pulp building board that was nationally advertised. Today you can ask any carpenter anywhere, what the material is he is using, and he will promptly and certainly spsqTsl-"Beaver Board." The fact that it may be any one of ten other pulp boards, and the fact that the Beaver Board people and their product have been gone for many, many years, makes not the slightest difference. After all these years, pulp board is Beaver Board, and that's all there is to it. The fact that some other name is plainly stamped on the material doesn't impress the user in the least. It is STILL Beaver Board. With such a remarkable demonstration, how can anyone venture to suggest that boards cannot be successfully advertised?

Lumber dealers have taken much profit already, and will take much more in the future, from the several building materials of wooden character that have come into use the last few years. Insulation has come to stay, and the live dealer can sell insulating materials all the year around, since they protect both from heat and cold; the various boards made of pressed wood and wood refuse, have become big sellers; plywood has become to the modern lumber dealer what bread and butter was to the old time grocer. New products will be added to these. They are needed. They will come. The dealer will sell them and profit from them.

The most useful sideline, in my judgment, that has ever come to the wooden building business, is plywood. Big, wide, clear, strong, attractive-looking boards that can be readily cut for a thousand and one different building purposes are "duck soup" for the live lumber dealer. The more he tries to merchandise them, the more uses for them appear. To the carpenter they are as handy as his saw and hammer. Their use is only well started. There is-no limit to their adaptibility.

Yes, Sir! 'We use to say: A board and a nail and a can of paint, Make many a place look new that aint. But now we say: Sing a song of plywood, saw and hammer too, Mr. Carpenter can make, your building dreams come true.

L. A. P. l. Votes to Join C. R. L. A.

The Board of Trustees of the Lumber and Allied Products Institute of Los Angeles has voted to join the California Retail Lumbermen's Association as a group when its reorganization becomes effective which will probably be late this spring. The Board of Trustees will elect two members to serve on the Board of Directors of the Southern California Division of the State Association.

Industries Meet to Discuss Demonstration Homes Program

Washington, Feb. 8,-The first step in coordinating the activity of units in the small home building field was taken today at a meeting at the Raleigh Hotel, here, attended by more than 70 representatives of building material and home products industries.

The meeting was called by Dr. Wilson Compton, secretary manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, to develop cooperation in the small home demonstration program, launched recently by the lumber industry under the sponsorship of the Federal Housing Administration.

This program has for its purpose the construction of 1,000 small home units in 1,000 communities, to show that it is possible to build attractive, comfortable homes in a price range of $2,000 to $4,500. To noon today over 50O building material dealers in as many localities had signed "count me in" pledges to participate in the program, making a total of 1,060 houses already assured in this nationwide building project.

Bru,ce Wilson, Director of Education in the FHA, reviewed the activities of this organization in the small home field, saying that the present campaign is the main-spring of FHA's promotional work ior 1937.

Frank Carnahan, Secretary of the National Lumber Dealers Association, through which lumber dealers are cooperating in the construction of the demonstration homes, urged all persons and industrial groups having substantial interests in the small homes market to get behind the present drive.

I. N. Tate, President of American Forest Products, Inc. spoke of the subject before the conference as "more house for the dollar," and emphasized "delivering the finished structure" and "making the house easy to buy."

The gathering included the whole field of housing and public group interests such as Chambers of Commerce and (iovernment itself.

"There is," said Dr. Compton, "a national need for meeting the low-cost house problem within the limits of the existing building industry. The Small lfomes Demonstra-

tion program is part of a national movement to meet imrnediately the demand for residences corresponding to requirements of 7O per cent of the housing market."

A coordinating committee was appointed to develop ways and means for the participation in this program of all units in the building material and home products industry. This group, headed by Dr. Compton, includes Bruce A. Wilson, A. F. H. Scott and Theodore E. Damm of the Federal Housing Administration; D. M. Forgan and Lyle }farvey, representing the heating industry i John A. Hall and C. C. Lowry, representing plumbing; H. M. Brundage, Jr., American Gas Association; J. M. Speer and C. M. Snyder, electrical; A. P. Haake and F. Stuart Fitzpatrick, miscellar.eous group industries; C. E. Roxorough, Clayton Grandy and Stanley J. O'Connor, building materials; and Frank Carnahan.

Aloysius Hanify

Aloysius Hanify of San Francisco died at the Stanford Hospital on February 15 after several months' illness. He was 68 years of age.

Mr. Hanify was connected with the lumber and shipping business on the Pacific Coast for many years. He came to San Francisco from New York when a young man and was associated with his brother, the late J. R. Hanify of the J. R. Hanify Lumber Co. He retired seven years ago.

Mr. Hanify was active in yachting circles, being a member of the San Francisco Yacht CIub, and was also a member of the Olympic Club.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Henrietta Hanify; two children, Ryder Hanify and Mrs. Lucinda Auger; and a sister, Mrs. Josephine Mahar. Funeral services were held Wednesday morning, February 17.

National Survey of Lumber Supply and Demand

Washington, Feb. 17.-"The available reserve producing capacity of the lumber manufacturing industry is ample to neet all present and prospective demands for lumber, although in some regions relationships of stocks have been disturbed by the Pacific Coast strike, and in the light of heavy unfilled order files stocks are inadequate." So says the quarterly national survey of Lumber Demand and Supply, prepared for the U. S. Department of Commerce by the Special Lumber Survey Committee and released here today, and mentions also the following points:

The national lumber stocks on January Ist, 1937, of approximately 7.4 billion feet were 2 per cent in excess of stocks on January 1st, 1936. Estimated lumber consumption last year was approximately 23 billion.feet, more than 10 billion greater than in 1932. The end of the Pacific Coast strike is releasing a heavy volume of deferred shipnrents, and with the restoration of flooded areas there will be some revival of lumber production, replacement of lost and damaged stocks and a substantial demand for rehabilitation building materials.

The index of average wholesale lumber prices at the mills as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics was 84.5 for 1936. The December index of 89.6 is 6 per cent above the 1936 average, compared with structural steel, which at 1A1.7 rose 5 per cent above the previous five months and is 7 per cent above the year's average. Brick prices at 88.5 in December compare with 88.7, the year's average. Cement prices have remained constant at 95.5.

Residential building in 37 states in 1936 was 64 per cent above 1935. Preliminary January figures indicate volume about equal to December and 80 per cent above January of last year. For 1937 a residential increase of 4O per cent over 1936 is indicated. The gains will be in private over public construction. Federal Housing Administration predicts an increase of 5O per cent in non-farm dwelling units built in 1937 provided building costs do not increase unduly.

Railroad expenditures are expected to be a greater factor in general business activity in 1937 than at any time since 1930. Carloadings in 1936 were about 14 per cent in excess of 1935.

In the wood consuming industries the report says that a good year is indicated for the furniture industry with at least a 10 per cent .gain over 1936. Trailer construction offers greater promise of increased lumber use than other motor types; and unfilled orders for oak flooring have been for nearly three months in excess of gross stocks at reporting mills.

Dodge Corporation, New York; Calvin Fentress, Chairman of the Board,'Baker; Fentrdss & Company, Chicago; M. W. Stark,'Eeonomist, Columbus, Ohio, and"Phillips A.

Booklets Available on Insulation

Against winter's icy blasts there is one satisfactory protection-that of a well insulated house. Its many advantages are obvious. But, in sharp contrast with the uninsulated house the fuel bills mount, and the cold air seems to enter through walls and ceilings in spite of every reasonable effort to heat the buildrng properly.

On the farm there is the additional problem of keeping the cattle comfortable, or keeping hog houses and laying houses reasonably warm and of maintaining milk houses and brooder houses at an equitable temperature. It is during this winter period, according to the Forest Products Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, that the usual flow of inquiries concerning house and/ot farm insulation quickens abruptly. Particulady does the home owner or farmer desire information on the best types of insulation to use, their relative efficiencies as insulators, their methods of application.

To service the homeowner and the farmer of the United States who are interested in insulation and to present in a practical, concise manner, pertinent information on the subject, the Department of Commerce has for distribution two booklets, "Housing Insulation, Its Economies and Applicatlon" and "Insulation on the Farm". Both of these have been extremely popular.

House Insulation covers in considerable detail the advantages gained through insulation such as the lowered fuel costs, the greater comfort, etc., the types of insulation used such as rigid, flexible, and filI types; the thickness of insulation to use; the methods of application; the cost of insulating, etc. A particularly interesting and enlightening table presents the insulating values of the difierent types of wall construction. Information on weatherproofing and on the fuel savings to be effected through insulation is found in appendix form in the back of the booklet.

Insulation on the Farm presents the reason for insulating the farm structure and gives detailed consideration regarding the insulation of such farm buildings as dairy barns, poultry laying houses, poultry brooder houses, hog houses, bee hives, milk houses, etc.

Both "House Insulation, Its Economies and Application" and "Insulation on the Farm" are available through the Forest Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce or through any of the District or local offices of that Bureau, while the present supply lasts, either of the above publications will be distributed without cost to the interested homeowner.

The Bay City Lumber Company, Oakland, are planningto erect some new buildings on their site at 48th Avenue and East 12th Street.

Redwood Statistical Position

San Francisco, February 9.-Based on preliminary annual figures by the California Redwood Association, California Redwood production and shipments were greater in 1936 than in any year since 1929.

Production for the year totaled 433 million feet, shipments 377 million feet, company use and plant waste 34 million feet, orders accepted 4Ol million feet and unfilled orders were 60 million feet at the close of the year.

Redwood prqduction was 31 per cent greater than 1935; 318 per cent of 1932 7 per cent greater than 1930; 89 pel cent of 1929 production and 7I per cent of 1924, peak yeat of the post war era.

Redwood shipments were 22 per cent above 1935; 236 per cent of.1932; 10 per cent above 193O and 88 per cent of. l9D. Shipments would have been greater except for the maritime strike which eliminated all water shipments during November and December.

More than half of the unfilled orders of 6O,000,000 feet are for Eastern shipment. Unshipped foreign orders are unusually heavy because of the suspension of water shipments at the end of October.

Redwood stocks on hand are in decidedly better balahce than was the case two or three years ago and efforts ivill be made during the remainder of. 1937 to improve this situation in behalf of California Redwood customers.

Eastern shipments gained 19 per cent over 1935 to set a new record for Redwood in the East. This would have been even greater but for the strike, as was the case in Southern California, where a gain of 37 per cent was recorded.

All forecasts point to a consistent increase in the Use of Redwood in 1937. With shipping conditions again peaceful on the Pacific Coast, shipments are expected to exceed those of 1929 on the basis of present indications.

Builden for More Than Hdf e C-cntury

It'g a Question

When a contractor comes to your office With a lumber list long as your arm, And tells you to sharpen your pencil, Do your "innards" note signs of alarm ? Or do they ?

You know that his methods are sharky, You suspect that he peddles at times. Do you say to yourself, I don't need him And I'll not cut his bill a thin dime ? Or do you ?

Your regular builders don't like him, He takes all his contracts so low. For a day's work hi pay but three dollars And lien rumors might not be soOr are they?

Quite a bit of his list calls for items Bought when prices were not near so high, And if you don't sell he'll go elsewhere. Should you offer old prices and tryOr should you?

Such builders leave problems unanswered, They breed in all towns large and small. Low price is the thing that they're after, Yet they seem to be favored by all.

They never make any money, They don't seem to care for success. They brag of their hundreds of contracts, Yet the credit man savs thev're a mess.

You quote a low price to get started, And you favor with service and grade, Yet they'll scuttle like rats from a plagued ship If on price thirty cents can be made.

And_

When your "regular" brings in a house bill, And tells you delivery to make Do you say to yourself "Old Faithful," And plan on the discount you'll make ? Or do you?

It's a system that doesn't make reason, They say that man reaps what he sows. The reward of the "regular" is in heaven, And the peddler gets his as he goesOr does he?

It is lighter in weight than an ordinary flush or slab door. It provides greater ease of hanging, handling and operation. This economy of weight is due to its unique construction principle. Two (' stiles and three 4" rails, horizontally braced with twentylour fi" bars mortised into the stiles. Two Laminexbuilt panels, three-ply construction, are cemented to this rigid frame, forming a door of unusual iightness and exceptional strength as well.

The special construction of the Streamliner door and the large manufacturing facilities of Wheeler Osgood permit it to be sold at a price that gives an outstanding door value for the money. Channels from top to bottom, with screened openings, allow a constant circulation of air, guarding against the warping effects of moisture, dryness and temperature changes.

Streamliner doors are manufactured in three wood surfaces, rotary cut Douglas Fir, vertical cut Douglas Fir, and ribbon grain Philippine Mahogany. The plain panel surface ofiers endless possibilities in decoration and finish. Stained, painted or waxed treatment provides a distinctive door that harmonizes with any interior.

Streamliner doors are distributed through sash and door jobbers in Northern and Southern California, and all over the country.

TECO Outstanding Example of Coopcration Between Industry and Research

Those familiar with the Timber Engineering Company, (more conveniently known to the trade as TECO), look upon its work as an outstanding example of what an industry can accomplish by putting to commercial use the results of laboratory research. TECO was organized by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and American Forest Products Industries, Inc., in 1933 for the purpose of pooling patents, conducting research and the commercial development of patented and other devices and methods for increasing lumber sales.

Survey of TECO work since 1933, through 1936, shows that lumber in structures using connectors was 293,000,000' valued at ($20M) $5,86O,000; of this amount 55,000,000' valued at $1,1@,00O were used in specific parts employing connectors.

During 11 months of 1936 lumber sold on connector work u'as slightly over 50,000,000'. Of this footage, over 9,500,000' were in parts of structures using connectors.

W:ll Uge \(/ood to Reconstruct Pisl

San Francisco, Feb. ZLCharges following a severe fire at Pier 46 that San Francisco's wooden harbor structures constituted a major conflagration menace, unsafe to surrounding property and ships at anchor, have been entirely disproved by engineers of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners.

Original reports of the fire, early in January, placed the loss at $750,000. Engineers now report the loss at $149,090, fully covered by insurance. Furthermore, in the reconstruction and extension of the pier, identical timber construction features have been embodied in the plans, with ttre original laminated redwood roof and two by eight inch redwood siding praised for accomplishing their intended purPose.

Despite the great heat of the blaze which swept the 800 foot structure, the fire did not break through the four-inch larninated roof at any place. The roof covering of asphalt and gravel suffered no damage and will remain in use. Engineers report that fully 8O per cent of the roof will be salvaged for the new construction, simply by sandblasting away the charred area.

Approximately 75 per cent of the siding will be replaced but here again engineers report that wood served its purpose by holding the blaze within the building. One of the Dollar Steamship Line's passenger liners docked a hundred feet away was not even scorched.

While issuing no formal statement, the Board of Harbor Commissioners' replacement specifications offered obvious proof that timber construction had stood the test for harbor irnprovements on San Francisco Bay.

H. J. Anderson

Herbert J. Anderson, president of the Anderson Lumber Co., Los Angeles, died Tuesday morning, February 16, following a heart attack. He was 55 years of age.

Mr. Anderson was widely known in Pacific Coast lumber circles, and before coming to Los Angeles, he was a resident of Portland, Ore., where he operated a wholesale lumber business. He was a native of Minnesota.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ailce Anderson, and a daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Parmenter. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon, February 18, at the Little Church of the Flowers, Forest Lawn Park, Glendale.

'Celotex lmprovementg Incresse Production

plant improvements costing $300,000.00 and making possible increased production of 250,000 square feet of Celotex Insulation Board per day have just been completed according to Harold Knapp, general sales manager of The Celotex Corporation.

Modernization work started about two months ago. It included rebuilding of dryers in Plant No. 1, converting them from steam to direct fired dryers, a type which has been found more efficient in other Celotex plants. Modernization amounted to about $200,000.00 and machinery about $100,000.00.

Mr. Knapp in announcing the increased production, possible with this more efficient equipment, said: "We have just completed one of the greatest years in the history of Celotex. Anticipating even greater demand for rigid insulation in residential construction during 1937, increased production is absolutely necessary. Last year the plant ran in capacity much of the time. With increased demand already apparent, last year's capacity production would be certain to fall behind orders. Added production now obtainable assures prompt filling of all orders."

Appointed Structural Engineer

Recent appointments of interest include the addition to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association's staff of Frank J. Hanrahan, who will serve on the Technical and Trade Promotion staff as Structural Engineer. His immediate assignment is the development of publications in the series pertaining to Wood Structural Design Data. Mr. Hanrahan is a graduate of Purdue University and comes from the Pennsylvania State College where he has been teaching Mechanics and Construction Materials during the past nine and one-half years. For the past three and onehalf years in association with Professor H. N. Benkert and L. W. Smith, Chief Engineer of National Lumber Manufacturers Association, he has been conducting structural investigations on lumber and plywood connections at the College. His practical engineering experience includes construction, design, estimating and specification writing rvith such firms as Wayne Tank & Pump Company; Indiana Service Corporation; C. R. McAnlis, Consulting Engineer; P. B. Kapp, Architect; Pennsylvania Department of Highways; Soil Conservation Service.

L. V. Gtahat

L. V. Graham, nationally known lumberman, passed away Thursday night, February 11, at Oakland, California, following several months' illness.

M. Graham was a native of Kansas and was born September 4, 1874. He started to work for the Chicago Lumber & Coal Co. at Clay Center, Kansas, in 1898, this firm was a line yard company operating many retail yards in the Middlewest with headquarters at St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Graham worked his way up to become general manager of all their yards making his headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.

In I9l2 he formed the Chicago Lumber Company of Washington, a wholesale concern, with head offices in Kansas City, and offices in Seattle and San Francisco.

He moved to San Francisco in 1924, and in 1926 the Chicago Lumber Company of Washington built a large remanufacturing plant at Oakland for the purpose of making mixed car lumber shipments into the East and Middlewest territories. This firm was liquidated in the fall of 1930.

Mr. Graham then went to Kansas City as general sales manager for the Pickering Lumber Sales Co. When he left them, he returned to San Francisco where he went into business for himself wholesaling lumber into the Eastern markets.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Henrietta K. Graham, a son, Lloyd V. Graham, who operates an insurance business in Oakland, and a daughter, Mrs. William H. Ultch of Kansas Citv.

FINDING FAULT No Mon is Faultless

There are faults in the fiber of us all.

Do you expect to find perfection in eyeryone you meet? Then you expect too much of human nature with its frailties and weaknesses.

The fault lies not so much in others, as in you for finding fault.

When you eat fish you lay the bones aside.

If you are intent on looking for the good in mortals, their shortcomings will cause you less annoyance. He is rich in friends who loves them for their virtues, and in spite of their faults.

It is a safe assumption that the man who demands perfection in others is himself far from perfect.

On the other hand, he who is the most nearly fawless will see the fewest faults in his fellows.

"Let him that is without fault cast the first stone."

"The brightest of all things, the sun, hath its spots."

"Faults are thick when love is thin."

"Forget the faults of others but remember your own."

"If the best man's faults were written on his forehead, it would make him pull his hat over his eyes." ***

HIS REASON

ILLUSION

Before I went to Ireland

Her charm had captured me

Till every wind-swept mossy hill, River and lake and tree, Outgrowing each vague dream of mine Had seemed reality.

Remembering now that lovely land Of blossomy road and lane, Stone cottages with russet thatch And foxgloves in the rain, Reality is an afterglow

Wherein I dream again.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE

Even the cleverest and most perfect circumstantial evidence is likely to be at fault after all, and therefore ought to be received with great caution.

Pioneer-Ffintkote $tr000r000 Expansion Program

Pioneer Division. The Flintkote Company, well known manufacturers of roofing materials and box and chipboard, 55th and Alameda Streets. has an extensive program well under way that will entail the expenditure of approximately $1,000,000 in new buildings and equipment. Two hundred men will be employed on the project for the next three to four months.

Plans call for five new buildings which will give the Company I13,645 square feet additional floor space. There will be additions to the chip and boxboard warehouse and the present beater room and a new paper stock preparation room, a new paper mill, and a building to house a new plant for the manufacture of corrugated containers.

About I25 men will be added to the payroll after expansion operations are completed and the increased manufacturing schedule is put into effect, according to L. M. Simpson, general manager of Pioneer Division, The Flintkote Company. The payroll will be increased approximately $225,W a year and employees will total more than 500. Lumber, reinforced concrete, and brick will be used in the construction of the new buildings.

The paper mill will have a 9-foot basement and a first

floor with 3O-foot clearance to house the latest type of paper making machinery for the production of folding boxboards and corrugated test liners. The dryers are of the modern "Stack" type arrangement-the entire machine will be 210 feet long. The paper mill building will have a total floor area of 26,104 square feet.

The stock preparation plant-a building of 10,380 square feet-will house modern and efficient Breaker Beaters, Disintegrator Pumps, Jordans, Pulper-Refiner lJnits, and other machinery necessary for the proper preparation of materials for the paper mill.

The most modern and efificient machinery available has been planned for the manufacture of corrugated containers. The complete new corrugated plant will contain the latest type of machinery for corrugating the liners and double facing the corrugated board, for slitting, scoring, printing and taping-all steps in the manufacture of corrugated containers that are now used almost exclusively for packing and shipping all types of merchandise. This new building will contain 49,46 square feet o{ floor area. There will be a total of 65 carloads-2,500,000 pounds-of o€w ln?: chinery and equipment.

Expansion of the box and chipboard division of the Company's operations has necessitated additional warehouse facilities. The new warehouse will have a basement with a 14-foot clearance and one story with a total of 25,4OO square feet of storage area. The building has been designed to allow for the addition of a second story to take care of further expansion in the future.

Pioneer Divisron, The Flintkote Company, is one of the West's oldest and largest manufacturers of roofing materials, having been founded in 1888 by Willis G. Hunt and Harry M. Eichelberger. The firm celebrates its 50th Anniversary next year. Plant and office buildings occupy more than 30 acres of ground. Products manufactured include asphalt shingles, asphalt roll roofing, asphalt emulsions, chip and boxboard, building papers, deadening felt, and one

of the new buildings will be devoted to the manufacture of corrugated containers.

The present expansion program is in line with the Company's continuous program of expansion since its inception. Recent additions include an entirely new plant for the production of Asphalt Emulsions, special waterproofing products developed in the Company's own laboratory, and a modern, up to the minute box and chipboard mill.

The million dollar expenditure in Los Angeles is part of a national expansion program recently undertaken by The Flintkote Company. In all, more than $4,000,000 is to be invested in new plants and equipment-$1,000,00o of which is being used here.

L. M. Simpson, general manager of Pioneer Division, The Flintkote Company, states that the continuous growth of Southern California and the Pacific Coast together with the assured future growth of this whole section of the country has necessitated the present expansion project and the

Insulite 1936 Sales Show 1O0% Increase Series of Radio Broadcasts---'?our

The Insulite Company, producers of structural insulation products, Minneapolis, Minnesota, reported a better than lffi% increase in sales during the past year over 1935. This is considered a remarkable showing in view of the fact that the gain in building for the same period was 657o.

"Our 1936 showing is particularly gratifying to all members of The Insulite organization," says E. H. Batchelder. Jr., vice-president, "because our per cent of sales increase was greater than the per cent of gain in building volume. This indicates a growing trend toward greater use of structural insulation, and that our new products are well on their way to an increasingly important positlon in the building field. It is noteworthy that the practice of selling insulation board through lumber dealers exclusively is doing much to restore these dealers as a source of supply for insulation products. Experience has shown that dealers who handle the newer structural insulation materials are getting a larger share of new house material bills than they formerly enjoyed."

The firm's success during 1936, according to Mr. Batchelder, can be attributed to a policy of striking the proper balance betrveen the launching of new products, improvements in existing ones, and by co-ordinating and unifying their consumer space advertising program, company literature and dealer sales helps program with the activities of their man power in the field. A major addition to the Insulite line during 1936 was Bildrite Sheathing, a 25/37'integrally asphalt-treated board. Its almost immediate acceptance throughout the country has encouraged The Insulite Company to enlarge advertising and sales promotion plans for 1937.

The firm also increased its line of tile and plank products, adopted new types of joints, and added new sizes to both its Ins-Light and Graylite patterns. Important improvements in cold storage insulation were also announced.

New offices were opened in Detroit during 1936, and quarters in New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco, and St. Louis were enlarged. H. S. Cheney, sales manag'er, Pacific District, is in charge of the San Francisco office.

A plant is operated at International Falls, Minnesota, for domestic sales, and at Karhula, Finland, an overseas business. A large engineering staff, advertising department' and general headquarters are maintained in Minneapolis.

Home and Mine"

The Federal Housing Administration has arranged with the Columbia Broadcasting System a series of 13 fifteenminute weekly broadcasts over a coast to coast hook-up on the general theme: "Your Home and Mine."

The series began at 10 A.M. on Saturday, February 20th, and is to be presented as a part of the educational efforts of the Federal Hbusing Administration to acquaint industry and the public with the principles of design, construction and financing of small homes. Chief emphasis of the series will be placed upon the efforts of the building industry during the coming Spring to make available to the public small homes costing under $5,000.

This broadcast series will be used as one of the principal coordinating mediums for a widespread industrial program. The broadcasts will be directed primarily to the thousands of local material dealers, contractors, builders, building supply dealers, retailers, architects and financial institutions throughout the country participating in the program. Each broadcast will take up a different phase of industrial and financial participation and will emphasize the desirability of building demonstration small homes in hundreds of communities. The fihal broadcast of the series will be given from the living room of one of these demonstration homes. This program is being made possible through the generous contribution of time and broadcasting facilities by the Columbia Broadcasting System.

Will Manufacture Port Orford Cedar Slats and Raifs lor Yenetian Blinds

The International Cedar Company, Marshfield, Oregon, large holders of Port Orford cedar, announces its entry into the manufacturing field of slats and rails for Venetian blinds. Shipments of this Port Orford cedar material, unpainted, and in a variety of sizes, bearing the trade name "Evanetian," are now being made.

The manufacturing company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Evans Products Company, Detroit.

The manufacturing plant includes recently acquired properties and a new saw mill, modernly equipped throughout, all representing an outlay of $300,000, according to E. S. Evans, President. Addition of these new properties gives International Cedar more than 500,000 square feet of space under roof for its Marshfield operations. The working personnel will be increased to 550, Mr. Evans said.

Present plans call for production and shipment of 80 million lineal feet of Evanetian slats, head rails, bottom rails and tilt rails during 1937.

"'We have contracted with the Guarantee Specialty Manufacturing Company, Cleveland, Ohio, to take over the sale of Evanetian materials direct to the blind manufsslqrer," Mr. Evans said. "That company's New York City warehouse will be augmented soon by other warehouses located at strategic points throughout the entire nation."

H. L. Karrick

With the death of Henry Littleion Karrick on January 28. 1937, in San Francisco, the lumber industry has lost one of its best known and colorful characters.

Born in Dubuque, Iowa, where he attended the public schools, Mr. Karrick received his early training in the lumber business in the large mills at Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In the early part of the century, he became associated with such representative men as Louis W. Hill of St' Paul and H. C. Ackley and Silvester Strong of Minneapolis' For sometime he was a member of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade, and the New York Stock Exchange. Always an ardent enthusiast in sports, he devoted much time to yachting and also sponsored the first ice derby for thoroughbred horses.

In 1912, he moved his family to the Pacific Coast and engaged in the lumber exporting business at Everett, Washington. From then on, his genial personality and his uniailing optimism has won him a host of friends among the lumber fraternity, by whom he will be greatly missed'

He is survived by two daughters, Katherine Wagenfohr and Jerusha Karrick, who are now living in New York'

Cold \Tinter Aids Pine Beetle Control

The western pine beetle, subject of Congressman C. F. Lea's $50,000 insect control bill, suffered a mortality of from 15 to 80 per cent during the sub-zero January weather in the Lassen and Sierra National Forests according to J. M. Miller, Senior Entomologist, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. More detailed studies will be made to determine the extent and effects and its bearing on prospective timber losses for the 1937 season, estimated by some authorities as being $10,000,000 a year to ponderosa pine timber of California.

In a letter to Regional Forester S. B. Show, of the U. S. Forest Service, Mr. Miller stated that the immediate effect of the severe cold of this winter combined with a low point in the insect infestation cycle throughout the State last year, will eliminate the necessity for any large control program for the coming season. This will permit the proposed research program advocated by the California State Chamber of Commerce to get started and to prepare for future attacks of the pine beetle.

Mr. Miller believes the best that can be expected from

the 1937 freeze is a temporary setback of the pine beetle population for about one season. He bases his opinion on the effect of former cold weather occurrin g in 1924 and L932. Insect damage in the pine timber regions was low in each of the following years but the next two years were in both instances characterized by widespread timber losses. Accordin$ to Miller only similar cold spells occurring every winter could be expected to result in permanent control of the bark beetle. Entomologists explain the failure of severe cold weather to wipe out the western pine beetle by the probable survival of some of the hardy individuals among the bug population who come back strong after a year or two.

The Forest Service reports that several private lumber companies undertake the control of the pine bark beetle on their own lands. Since 1925 the McCloud Lumber Company has treated 11,365 trees on over half a million acres of their holding at a cost of $76,679 or $6.75 a tree or fourteen cents an acre.
