Thirteen coastwise lumber carriers with a lumber carry- ing capacity of about 32,000,000 feet have been chartered for offshore or intercoastal trade. Shipping men look for an extreme shortage of space for lumber shipments into California if vessels continue to be chartered. It is stated on excellent authority that only three or four of the vessels now laid up can go into service without great expense to the owners.

***

Always thought a lot of William Shakespeare. But the other day when I read in some book that he hated dogs, he dropped many pegs in my regard. Of all the nearly-sublime things that have been written by men about their dog friends, I put one by the late Doug Malloch right up in front. Can't guarantee the exactness of the wording, but this is the way I remember it: "There is a look in the eyes of a good dog that makes me understand why God allows him to use His name, spelled backwards."

James Whitcomb *rr""i"J.nlt way about his pet horse. I{e wrote, you remember:

"I love my God the bt iu, Then Him that oerion the cross; then I fall And next my Down on ; and love my hoss."

*,f*

JOr perhaps pet is a cat. Cat lovers have THEIR say, also, and sometimes it is a ten-strike. For instance, my friend E. V. Durling, syndicated columnist out of Los Angeles, is always writing about his dog, a Cocker Spaniel. One day he got a letter from a lady reader, and she said something to this effect: "You are always bragging about your Spaniel, a breed of dog that loves everybody that comes along. Why don't you say something about a wise, intelligent cat, who looks you over and estimates you carefully for weeks or months before deciding whether or not you are worthy to have as a friend." To me that's one of the finest tributes to a cat I've ever encountered.

We've all read.rra rr"aJa JroJ"ooo, Salty Rand, the fan dancer. But I learned the other day she is a first-class philosopher, as well. Sally took bankruptcy recentln and she remarked: "It's no disgrace to be broke; it's only a disgrace to STAY broke." You'll look far for a better epigram than that.

Speaking of philosophr]*rl, il "tr"rrg" that many a man who has so lived that he reads his title clear to a mansion in the skies, is just as reluctant to migrate as any sinner?

What wonders politics can work! See how quiet things are on the Democratic front. No one has been read out of the party for monttrs; even the clumsy and violent Mr. Ickes has called off his name-calling. Truly, the shadow of an approaching election has "tempered the wind to the shorn lamb."

This will be one of thJse |"J. *,t "r, patriotism retires to the sidelines, while partisanship rides down the center of Main Street with brass bands blaring.

A few days ago trri, rldJt f,"o"ua in its stride to remember the birthday of Abraham Lincoln; a man whose memory is as gentle as the summer air when reapers sing among the golden sheaves. He left us as a heritage the inspiration of a character-stainless and immortal-that grows ever greater with the years. fle was a cornerstone of history; a column nothing can move; a star no darkness can fade. ***

Any man who can read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address without feeling a tremendous throb of patriotism swell within his breast-without finding an honest lump in his throat and an unashamed tear in his ey+doesn't deserve to wear the kingly crown of an American Sovereign.

*:t*

Lincoln possessed the gift of uttering exalted truths in short, plain, simple words, that reach the hearts of all. Only in the Bible itself, and notably in the Book of Luke, do you find like literature. Nothing compares to it in the realm of profane literature.

william Allen whitu, ,L,Ju i"rro" editor, said on Lincoln's birthday that "another humble, kindly, gentle leader like Abraham Lincoln is what this nation needs to lead us out of our present bondage of unemployment. We have tried egotis4f and arrogance, in vain." ,F,F*

Bruce author, advertising expert, and member of est from New York, gets the plum for the cleverday remark. He said, "'We are gathered here memory of an American who was 'ill-fed, illill-clad,' but who became one of the earth's greatest men."

*:t*

True! Great men never come from mansions. F'or some inscrutable reason known only to Omnipotence, most of

"The saddest sight In a world of sin, Is a little lost pup With his tail tucked in." (Anon.)

the world's titans came from the hovel and the cabin; most of them started "ill-fed, ill-housed, and ill-clothed."

*'F*

I think Lincoln would have loved Bruce Barton's remark. He loved a joke as have few men in hisyrp He used to say that if he could not stop a\frelyrtt intervals and tell or listen to a story, he couldn't$rf,r his troubles.

*t<+

So modest and self-effacing was he that he often disclaimed authorship of his most-quoted remarks. For instance, when some critic complained to him that General Grant drank too much whiskey, Lincoln suggested they find out Grant's particular brand and send a barrel of it to each of his other generals. Lincoln credited this to one of the King Georges of England. He said some critic said to the King that he t'hought General Wolfe, commanding tlre British army in Canada, was mad. The King remarked that he wished Wolfe would bite all his other generals, and inoculate them with that same madness, so that they could win a battle now and then.

***

One of the greatest tributes ever paid Lincoln, came a few years back from a distinguished Englishman, H. G. Wells, most famous of living historians. His "Outline of History" and other works, are well known to scholars eVerywhere. Wells was asked who, in his opinion, were the greatest men that ever lived; the men whose lives most

affected the human race. .He named six men, just six; and one of them was Abraham Lincoln. Coming from a Britisher that was honor, indeed, and it made my American soul swell with pride.

fire fame and name "i io.L.* Lincoln grows ever greater in retrospect. He possessed more gentleness, humility, kindliness, and less personal egotism than any leader of men in modern times. On this great leavening of the Christ-spirit is his greatness founded. In this era of personal ego through which the whole civilized world is now passing, the humility and self-effacement of Lincoln is magnified by comparison. Emerson had Lincoln in mind when he wrote: "See how the mass of men worry themselves into early graves, while here and there some great, unselfish soul FORGETS HIMSELF INTO IMMORTALITY." Do you see any signs of any leader forgetting themselves into immortality nowadays?

Lincoln once said in tirJe J tJorrur": "A firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land, is still competent to adjust, in the best way, our present difficulties." Note the difference in attitude between then and now. When Lincoln was in the White House he trusted "Him" to lead us out. Today we are being told that the only one who can lead us out is the man in the White House.

Big Increase in Residential Building

Washington, Feb. l0.-Residential construction in cities of 10,000 and greater population during 1939 was valued at $1,044,707,300, largest amount since 1929, Federal Home Loan Bank economists announced today.

This was an increase of one-third over 1938, the previous peak post-depression year, it was estimated by the Board's Division of Research and Statistics. The 89,992 lamily dwelling units constructed or projected last year by all individuals, organizations and agencies represented a 35 per cent gain over 1938.

fn December, last, the home-building industry also set a new lGyear December record, 25,135 units of all kinds costing $86,791,000. Of that total in December, 11,968 were one- and two-family dwellings, costing ffi,085,100, as against 9,571 costing $37,902,6il in December, 1938.

Most of the 12 Federal Home Loan Bank districts reported a larger volume of construction in December than in the same 1938 month. First in actual amount and relative increase was the Winston-Salem district of eight Southeastern states with $15,957,ffi, a 176 per cent climb over December, 1938. Next in percentage gain was the Pittsburgh district of Delaware, Pennsylvania and West Virginia with $9,845,700, or 162 per cent more than in December, 1938.

Certigrade Californian New Model Home

The newest-of-the-new model home, the Certigrade Californian, has been completed and was dedicated in Studio City, near Los Angeles, Calif., Friday afternoon, February 9. Hugh Herbert, popular film star and mayor of Studio City, took a prominent part in the dedicatory ceremonies which were attended by a large number of lumbermen and building material dealers.

Designs for the Certigrade Californian were drawn up by the National Plan Service, Chicago, and come in three models, a feature of the project. Plan A has been reproduced in the Studio City home; it is of seven-room construction-a living room, dining room, utility room, kitchen, den and trvo bedrooms, in addition to bath. This unit is intended for the mild climates characteristic of Southern California and has already met with widespread accePtance.

Plan B and C are sufficiently similar to Plan A so that the beautiful individuality which is the Certigrade Californian's is retained. Plan B is designed for temperate clirnates, having a living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, bath and trvo bedrooms, the utility room replacing the den which characterizes Plan A. Plan C comes lvith a full basement for the heating plant and fits admirably into frigid climatic zones.

In the construction of the Certigrade Californian, Douglas Fir plywood and Oak were used for flooring, Certigrade Red Cedar shingles for roof and sidewalls, West Coast Hemlock for roof sheathing, Knotty Pine for some of the

interior walls, California Redwood for exterior trim, and Douglas Fir for wall studding and bracing.

The Red Cedar shingle roof construction is unusualfour layers of shingles at every point of the roof. This is effected through the use of. 24-inch shingles as the underlayer for every fourth course of 16inch shingles, rvhich are exposed S-inches to the weather. Sidervalls, too" are unusually attractive, with 1S-inch shingles double-coursed and laid 14-inches to the weather. This double-coursing provides a deep shadorv line which is sought after by home

builders. White lead paint was used on the sidewalls, and a light brown stain makes the roof doubly attractive.

Norman A. Morris, Los Angeles, was the builder. Plans for the home are available from the National Plan Service through retail lumber dealers.

Among the sponsors of the Certigrade Californian are the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, National American Wholesale Lumbermen's Association, West Coast Lumbermen's Association, Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, California Retail Lumbermen's Association, Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, Western Homes Foundation, Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Arizona Retail Lumber and Builders' Supply Association; Inc., Lumber and Allied Products Institute, Los Angeles, and San Fernando Valley Lumbermen's Club.

Just a Plain Business Proposition

The Secretary to the Pope walked into the Pope's business office one day, just in time to hear a conversation that immediately caught his attention. The holy father sat on one side of his business desk, and an American business man sat across from him, and was making him a very energetic sales talk. His brief case was open, he had a raft of papers on the desk in front of him, and as the Secretary came in, the American said:

"I'11 make one more offer, and that is my highest and best proposition. We will give five million dollars, cash on the barrel head, good old American money. And that's my final offer."

MAKES NEW CONNECTION

J. L. (Jake) Branson, who was with Smith Lumber Co., Oakland, for the past several years, is now with Bay City Lumber Co., Oakland.

The Pope replied: "No, it is impossible.

The American rose, put his papers back in his brief case' said goodby, and left. The Secretary said: "I was not eavesdropping, but I could not help hearing that amazing offer that man just made you. Five million dollars ! Goodncss, what we could do with five million cash right now!"

"We could, indeed," said the Pope.

"What did he offer you five million dollars for?" asked the Secretary.

"He wanted us to take the word 'Amen' out of the prayer book wherever it appeared, and put 'Texaco' in its place."

Forest Industries Ask Oppottunity to Review Future Trade Agreement Provisions Prior to Enactment

Washington, Feb. 15.-Declaring that preferential tariffs in British countries are the "world's most valuable trade discriminations" and that the extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act should require the publication of proposed concessions for a period of 60 days before they become binding, Dr. Wilson Compton, Executive Officer of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, appearing before the Ways and Means Committee today in behalf of the lumber and timber products industries, recomnrended that the program be continued and not abandoned in mid-ocean.

Pointing to the fact that under the trade agreements so far entered into our domestic lumber tariffs have been reduced by one-half during a period in which the American lumber export trade has declined from first rank to fifth rank in the world lumber trade, due largely to foreign discriminations, stingy quotas and exclusion tariffs, he declared that "our export lumber trade has declined to the lowest volume in 4O years

" 'W'e know of no way to break down these barriers except through negotiations. These barriers were put up by public authority. They can be taken down only by public authority. We can't do that. No industry can. It can be done, if at all, only by act of Government; and even by Government it can be done only by negotiation and agreement, not by fiat."

Speaking in behalf of the major forest products industries which he said have "experienced much more of the liabilities than of the assets of the reciprocal trade agreements, but which continue to seek the rebuilding of their foreign trade and see no reasonable way to a general restoration of international commerce except through the patient, laborious and painstaking process of negotiation,,, he said that while the authority of the President to make trade agreements should be continued, the manner in which the authority may be exercised should be more strictly

defined. Particularly he suggested. that the authority to make concessions be limited to reductions in tariff rates and to determination of import quotas; that it should not include the authority to "free ze" any commodity on the free-list without recourse, regardless of changed facts or circumstances; that the so-called "flexible', tariff provisions should be restored; and that concessions proposed to 'be made by either party in any trade agreement under negotiation hereafter should be published for a reasonable period of time before any concession becomes binding.

"Such a provision," he said, "would be a valuable safeguard against inadvertent acceptance of valueless concessions and against inadvertent grant of unintended concessrons, both of which have occurred; and it would go a long way toward retarding ex parte determination of important issues affecting foreign and domestic trade.

"I well understand that there are strong objections to this; that it will be said that it cannot be done. There are strong reasons for secrecy. But they are less conclusive than the stronger reasons for publicity. It wil be said that to do this might imperil the negotiations; and that it would make life miserable for the responsible agencies. perhaps it would. But the exercise of a power of Government, whether legislative or administrative, to build up one section at the expense of another, or to take away from one industry and give to another,-even though in the confident hope and expectation that ultimately all will gain,-should not be concluded in secret. No agency of Government should have or should assume to exercise the vast authorities involved in the administration of the Trade Agreements Act which ls not able and willing to defend and to justify the concessions which it proposes to make and the concessions which it proposes to accept in return, and to do so before the agreement becomes binding, not merely afterwards. That can be done; and the entire reciprocal trade agreements undertaking will be a much healthier program if it

Federal Court Decree Does Not Ban Inspection, Grading and Grade-Marking of Southern Pine

New Orleans, La., Feb. 2l-Following their pleas of nolo contendere to an indictment alleging anti-trust law violation, Judge Wayne G. Borah in federal court here today, assessed fines of $10,000 against the Southern Pine Association and $1,000 each against the Southern Pine Lumber Exchange of New Orleans and the National Association of Commission Lumber Salesmen, Cleveland, Ohio. In addition to the fines, civil actions were filed against the defendants under which consent decrees were entered restraining them from practices ,complained of by the government as in restraint of competition and trade.

The indictment was based on section 2 of. the Sherman anti-trust act, and the Southern Pine Association, in a statement concerning the proceedings, asserted it "does not admit any illegality in its activities as alleged in the complaint, and did not sponsor any such illegal activities," but for reasons given in its statement felt it was wise to enter into the consent decree and not become involved in protracted litigation. The proceedings were said to be a part of the Departme.nt of Justice nation-wide investigation of the building industry, with which the SPA has declared it is in complete sympathy.

Among the matters complained of by the government was the "distribution statement," and efforts in the industry to prevent direct sales to contractors and consumers, programs designed to control production, and certain phases of cooperative campaigns with retail dealers to promote use and sale of grade-marked lumber for protection of lumber consumers, as well as the set-up for inspection and grade-marking. The government attorneys contended these things tended to restrain free competition and trade.

With respect to the proceedings in' this case and the consent decree entered into by the Southern Pine Association, and others, the Association today made public a statement which follows in part:

"The Southern Pine Association in these proceedings was in no manner singled out for investigation by the Department of Justice because of. any suspected flagrant vio-

lation of law, but the inquiry into the Association's affairs and the subsequent proceedings are a part of the Government's investigation of the entire building industry of the country, which has for its purpose the prevention of practices in restraint of competition and trade in the building industry, to the end that construction costs, particularly in the residential field, will be lowered. Thus far action has been taken in many cities throughout the country by the Department of Justice against a large number of individuals and groups, including labor union and trade organizations.

"The consent decree requires the separation of the grading rules, inspection, standardization, and grade-marking activities from the other activities of the Associati,on, which comprise trade promotion, traffic and freight rates, statistics, conservation and legislative problems of the industry. In the decree a plan is set forth for the establishment of a Southern Pine Inspection Bureau, r,vithin the Associati.on, under whose jurisdiction all matters relating to grading rules, standardization, inspection, and grade-marking, will be handled at actual cost of its services. This Bureau will be autonomous, guided by a Board of Governors selectecl by the subscribers to the Bureau. It was because of the semi-public nature of the grading, inspection and grademarking service, that all interested parties have agreed that it should be handled on the basis outlined in the decree, separate from the other activities of the Southern Pine Association.

"The Southern Pine Association always has made all of its services available to all manufacturers of Southern pine, who were qualified to meet the required standards of mannfacture, grading, etc., without discrimination, and the Association already had made inspection and grade-marking services available on an actual cost basis to all manufacturers of Southern pine without discrimination and regardless of affiliation with the Southern Pine Association."

New Orleans, La., Feb. Z3-Owing to confusion arising

from inaccurate and incomplete reports of the terms respecting inspection, grading rules and grade-marking of lumber as stipulated in the consent decree entered into by the Southern Pine Association, in the Department of Justice case against the Southern Pine Association and others, filed in Federal Court in New Orleans, February 21, H. C. Berckes, secretary-manager of the Association, here today issued a supplemental statement explaining the exact effect of the decree respecting inspection, grading and grademarking. Mr. Berckes said:

"A careful reading of the provisions of the consent decree will convince anyone that there is no provision against continuance of the inspection, grading and grade-marking ac-tivities in the Southern pine industry, no prohibition against the specification or use of grade-marked Southern pine, and no thought of preventing the promotion of grademarked lumber for the protection of the consuming public and the benefit of the members of the lumber industry. The provisions of the consent decree relating to the inspection, grading, standardization and grade-marking activities of the industry merely involve principally the mechanics or set-up through which they shall be conducted in the future. Because of the quasi-public nature of these activities, the decree provides that they shall be performed by an autonomous Bureau of the Association, separate from the other activities of the Association. The transition, of course, will be gradual, and there is no need for any immediate change in specifying practices.

"The consent decree, as it relates to grade-marking, requires action on the part of the manufacturers only. It 'rvill be conducted as soon as the new set-up can be arranged, under a bureau of the Association to be known as the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau, with its own Board of Governors. Grade-marked lumber may continue to be specified and delivered, and there is no reason for disturbing existing specifying arrangements. As a matter of fact, when the program contemplated by the consent decree is fully in effect, the system of grade-marking Southern pine will be in a stronger position than ever before."

NEW MANAGER AT SANTA ROSA YARD

Herb Latell, formerly assistant manager at the Santa Rosa yard of Sterling Lumber Company, has been appointcd manager to succeed E. J. Striepeke who recently resigned.

Appoints Three New Field Men

Appointment of three new representatives to the field staff of the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau has been announced by W. W. Woodbridge, secretary-manager.

Foster M. Pratt of Port Orchard, Wash., and George E. Messner and E. R. Lyford of Seattle are the latest additions to the Bureau's well-known field staff. Mr. pratt will work in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Mr. Messner in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas, and Mr. Lyford in Minnesota, Nebraska. Iowa. and North and South Dakota.

"The red cedar shingle industry of the pacific Northwest, through the Bureau, is bending every effort to work in complete accord with the consumers of its product throughout the North American continent,,' Mr. Woodbridge said. "The work of the Bureau is segregated into two separate divisions-protection and promotion. The former phase is well taken care of by a staff of experienced inspectors, the latter by a fast-growing corps of fieldmen who travel in every state of the Union and in every province of Canada."

Concatenation HeId at Sacramento

Sacramento Hoo'Hoo CIub Organized

One of the largest Hoo-Hoo Concatenations held in California in many years took place in the Elks Club, Sacramento, on the afternoon of February 10.

As a result of the fine organization work of E. S. McBride, Davis Lumber Co., Davis, Vicegerent Snark of the Sacramento district. and his able committee, a class of 33 candidates was initiated into the mysteries of HooI{oo, and 13 old cats were reinstated.

The 33 new members of the Order represent all of the lumber yards in Sacramento, being for the most part o\,vners, managers or assistant managers.

Unique in the history of Hoo-Hoo is the fact that all of the kittens were endorsed by three past Snarks of the U'niverse, Frank Trower, Dick Hiscox and Charlie LeMaster.

Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club Formed

Following the Concatenation Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club No. 109 was organized with 60 charter members, all meml;ers of International Hoo-Hoo in good standing.

The officers of the new club are as follows:

President-Charles Shepard, Friend & Terry Lumber Co.. Sacramento.

\rice-president-A. B. Atkinson, Oak Park Lumber Co., Sacramento.

Secretary-treasurer-H. A. Pefley, Sacramento Lumberrren's Club, Sacramento.

Directors-George Adams, Noah Adams Lumber Co., M/alnut Grove, Calif.; Crawford Cox, Knox Lumber Co', Sacramento, and llomer Derr, Derr Lumber Co., Elk Grove, Calif.

There was a big attendance at the evening dinner at .rvhich Mr. McBride presided. Sitting at the head table was A. B. Williamson of Galt, Calif., whose Hoo-Hoo number is 210. He is the oldest member from the standpoint of service on the Pacific Coast, and the second oldest in the United States.

Folder Shows New Developments in Sliding and Folding Doors

A folder containing many new details of disappearing doors has just been issued by E. C. Pitcher Company, 557 Market Street, San Francisco, manufacturers of sliding door hardware and frames. The folder shows models designed for Class "A" buildings and other structures down to the five room bungalow, where saving of space is accomplished with very little extra cost.

Kolor-Fast Nu-\flood a Fade'Proof lnterior Finish Announced

The Wood Conversion Company, manufacturers of Nu-Wood and Balsam\Mool, has just announced Kolor-Fast Nu-Wood a new improvement in insulating interiof finish. It is stated that this new product is the first of its type for rvhich fade-Proof qualities are claimed. These claims are based on severe tests bY national-

cessful in Sta-Lite' The bevel at the joint is less obtrusive and more refined.

"In order to be sure of the fade-proof qualities of KolorFast Nu-Wood, we subjected it to the most severe tests we could find. The product has been tested by exposure for mbnths under the strong tropical sun in addition to other standard laboratory tests. We have checked it against all types of fabrics, wall papers and other commercial products-which claim to have these qualities' Such comparisons have impressed us with the extremely high qualities of this product."

Mr. Ward further stated that a new clip system for blind nailing with the new tongue and grove joint is noln' available. hhe clip is so designed that it can be used in either the tongue or the groove. This, he said, was of'major importance, because with the clip, the contractor could coniinue to lay Tile and Plank in the same manner he rvas accustomed io without the necessity of driving nails through the face at the edges of the Tile and Plank'

Plank in variegated and tan colors. Nu-Wood Kolor-Fast Board is available in tan. The colors are richer and clearer than before' The over-all colors are slightly lighter giving the material a higher light reflection value in keeping with the modern tendency in interior decoration.

In announcing Kolor-Fast Nu-Wood, P' A' Ward, general sales manager, said: "Nu-Wood Kolor-Fast is the result of years of development work, aimed definitely at producing a product which could be considered a lifetime interior decoration. Heretofore, all insulating interior finish board materials have been subject to oxidization which resttlted over a period of years in darkening of the material'

"The announcement of Nu-Wood Sta-Lite just a year ago \\ras the first step in the development of fade-proof qialities in insulating interior finish' This product has prolred the possibility of fade-proof interior finish, so the irext step of making variegatecl colors of the same qualities u,as inevitable.

"In Kolor-Fast Nu-Wood, rve have succeeded in retaining the attractive texture of Nu-Wood' We have imp.o,r"J the colors' On the Plank and Tile we have put " ,r"* tongue and joint treatment which proved so suc-

The new Nu-Wood Kolor-Fast will replace the present Nu-Wood Variegated Tile and Plank' The company' however, will continue to furnish the old type of Nu-Wood to fill out stocks. Further inlormation on this new product may be obtained from the Wood Conversion Company' Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Oldest Frame House in U. S. A.

The following article on the oldest frame house in the United States, which appeared in a house organ published by the California & Hawaiian Sugar Refining Corporation, Crockett, Calif., will be of interest to many lumbermen: C

and H Sugar Used in White House Candy

"A recent customer of C and H is the ,stowaway Sweet Shop,' Swampscott, Massachusetts. This shop occupies the Governor John Humphrey house, the oldest frame house, standing in its original form, in the U.S.A. It was constructed in 1634 by order of King George III. .Stowaway Sweet Shop'furnishes candies weekly to The White llouse, in Washington, D.C. During the recent visit to this country of the King and Queen of England, their entire resuirements of sweets were'furnished by this shop.

"The Governor John Humphrey house, in which these candies are made, stands, at the age of 306 years, a monumcnt to the sturdy character of the colonists who built it. A clapboard house on a framework of brick imported from England, it has personality about it inherited perhaps from the generations who lived within its walls. There is an air of detachment about it, restful to the busy people of today.

"What does depression or prosperity, .war or peace in Europe, matter in a home hewn from a wilderness, built to withstand 300 years of battering by nature and man ?

"Built by order of King George III, whom this house survived to supply sweets for the table of the first British King and Queen to visit this country, 300 years later. Having withstood the assaults of nature for centuries, the house seemed condemned to death some years ago when workmen were on the grounds to raze it to permit of a 'modern' building. Quick action by public spirited Swampscott citizens led by Mr. Henry Sill Baldwin, saved the structure. Today the house is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. George Moore, a couple with a sincere appreciation of the historic value of the house and its furnishings. The kitchen where once, a hundred years before George Washington was born, meals were prepared for the famous men of Colonial Massachusetts, is the scene of the manufacture of fine, hand-made candies, rvhose excellence have rvon for them a daily place on the dining tables of The White House. There candies are made with the most careful attention to the Quality of the ingredients.,,
