Lumberman's Son Raiseg Pfize Poultry

Bryant Longwell has a profitable hobby and for several years he has been raising dark Cornish fowl, an English breed, and exhibiting entries at various poultry shows. His father, Robson Longwell, operates the Longwell Lumber Company at Mar Vista, Calif.

Bryant has won several cups, about two dozen ribbons, and several medals and plaques. Two of the cups were won at the Poultry Industries Exposition of Los Angeles at the Union Stock Yards. One was for the champion hen of the show, where there were 5400 entries from 28 states, Canada and Australia; the other was for the best Cornish entry, and a male he entered was the winner.

A corner of his father's lumber yard at Mar Vista is where he raises his prize fowl. The dark Cornish fowl, from Cornwall, England, has been a show bird there for many years,

Bryant is seventeen years old and is a senior at the Beverly Hills High School. He will enter Oregon State Agricultural College next fall.

Looks like we've got a rhyming streak on this occasion. The other day a dealer asked for a copy of our rhyme, printed previously in these columns, "The Yard Office Towel." We like it, so we'll print it again:

When I think of the towel, the old-fashioned towel, That used to hang up by the yard office door, I think that nobody in these days of shoddy, Could hammer out iron to wear as it wore.

*t<{<

The teamsters abused it, the yard men all used it, The bookkeeper tried it when others were gone; The shed man, the foreman, the customes-poor manEach rubbed some grime off as he put a heap on.

***

It grew thicker, and rougher, and harder, and tougher, And each day it put on an inkier hue, Until one windy morning, without any warning, IT FELL TO THE FLOOR AND WAS BROKEN IN TWO.

{.{.t

Twenty years ago I made a January first address to a chamber of commerce, and took for my text-"Business, this year, will be what you make it." I enlarged on that topic and philosophy. When I got through a gentleman rose and asked how my philosophy applied to him. I asked what his business was and he said he was an obstetrician. He had me ! All I could do was tell him that exceptions only serve to prove the rule.

*tl.*

Business means human service. It means betterment. Business only succeeds when it makes progress; progress in better helping and serving its customers. It usually succeeds in exactly the ratio by which it adds to hu,man happiness ("war babies" not included).

{.. {. {<

Business means just what it sounds like. In the beginning in early England there sprung up a class who were neither army nor clergy but interested in economics and

finance and industry in a small way. They called it "busyness." Later it became busines* A busy person is generally a happy one. Daily, useful work is man's greatest blessing. Business in its modern sense me:rns scientific efiort to improve products, improve their service and distribution, improve the living conditions of human beings.

Men of enterprise, of business' made this nation what it is; gave it all of its power and greatness. Without such men we would swing toward chaos today. There has been found no substitute in our daily lives for honest labor; and there has been found no substitute in our national life for men of business enterprise. We have been trying for years to substitute politicians for business enterprisers. And see what has happened.

A great tragedy *"rt.l an" ***" of the world since this column was written two weeks ago; the fall of brave little Finland. The fall of that gallant David before repulsive Goliath, proved that what is true of individuals, does NOT hold good wifh nations. I refer to a time-honored axiom known to all men in the Southern States, and one that has always intrigued me. It says: "When the Good Master made the world, He made some men big and some small, some strong and some weak; He made them very unequal; and then along came Mister Colt, and made them all the same size."

A French general, ia"".lr:";.*" to me, gets the prize for the best remark of the season. The story goes that they were discussing the possible entry of Italy into the European war, and this general was asked what he thought about it. He said it did not make any great difference, in his opinion, which side Italy decided to take. "If Italy joins Germany," he is alleged to have said, "it will take fifteen divisions to whip her; and if she enters on the French side, it will take fifteen divisions to protect her; so it's about even either way."

Little Johnnie, age 6, was seeing the inside of a bank for the first time. His father had a check to cash, and took Johnnie with him. It was all very new, and novel, and impressive to the little fellow, was this resplendent place of business, so much more so than the corner grocery and the drug store with which he was familiar.

His big, round eyes took in all the sights, some of them hitting him harder than others. At the teller's window he stared long and hard. As his father took him by the hand

and started out of the bank, Johnnie still stared backward, so his father stopped.

"What is it, son?" he asked.

"Papa" asked the little fellow. "Why do they have those bars across the windows in front of those men?"

"Easy son, not so loud," said his father. "They put those bars in front of bankers to make it look like they already are where they really belong."

This is a short description of the hardwood operation of the Bradley Lumber Company, at Warren, Arkansas, which is one of the largest, most complete, and most efficient hardwood manufacturing and re-manufacturing institutions in existence. Ilere they turn into marketable products almost everything that can be made from a mighty stand of virgin Southern hardwoods; and here they have a timber supply that will be continuous for at least a generation to come.

Bradley also operates at Warren a large and formidable Yellow Pine department, a battery of sawmills being used to manufacture one of the largest remaining stands of the famous Arkansas Soft Pine. However, this story will confine itself to the hardwood end of this mighty plant.

The hardwood operation at Warren consists of : a sawmill equipped with two band headrigs and a big resaw, and all the auxiliary equipment for cutting big hardwood logs into 100,000 feet of lumber daily; another sawmill that cuts hickory exclusively; one of the country's biggest batteries of dry kilns, holding 1,50O,000 feet of lumber at a time; air drying lumber yard holding more than thirty rnillion feet of hardwood lumber at all times; a great unloading dock where they receive millions of feet of hardrvood lumber monthly which they buy at other sawmills and use to supply their great manufacturing and re-manufacturing plants; a five unit hardwood flooring plant where they make 2,500,000 feet of hardwo,-rd-mostly oak flooring, monthly; a mammoth steel storage shed where 7,000,000 feet of hardwood flooring can be stored; a huge "dimension" plant where an uncounted number of ingenious mach-

ines working in continuity and in coordination transform many millions of feet of various kinds of hardwood lumber every month into manufactured articles of a thousand different sorts. chief in interest to the retail lun-rber trade being marvelous interior trim and mouldings from Southern Gum and Oak; storing, wrapping, and shipping facilities of a de luxe character that guarantee to the buyer the arrival of the goods in perfect condition and order.

The flooring plant is a beauty. Five end-matched flooring units stand in a row, turning out about 2,500,000 feet monthly of oak, beech, and pecan flooring. In the big steel warehouse where flooring is stored they carry 82 items of hardwood flooring ready for shipment. The entire storage department is floored with concrete, and everv device is used to keep out the dust and dirt. There is a flooring loading dock the full length of the flooring storage shed, and a specially made checking machine that resembles an adding machine in its operation, checks the lumber that goes int<r the cars. The railroad cars in which flooring is shipped are completely and carefully lined with paper to keep out dust, dirt, soot, etc. In addition to the flooring oak manufactured in their own big hardwood sawmill, Bradley likewise buys flooring oak from mills throughout their entire territory, furnishing their hardwood neighbors a constant and dependable market for oak that will make flooring. The.v make standard frooring in oak, beech, and pecan; oak plank flooring; also "nail-seated" flooring in oak and beech.

Recently Bradley installed into its flooring operations an improvement that they consider one of the mosf advanced in the history of hardwood flooring manufacture; straight-

line ripping. All Bradley flooring stock is now ripped on straight-line ripping machines before going through the flooring machines. No more crooks in Bradley flooring. The floor-layer will notice the difference very quickly, finding none of the occasional pieces of flooring that have to be forced into place. Bradley takes all the crooks out before they make the stock into flooring.

The dimension plant is their other great merchanclising unit. Besides the 3,000,000 feet of hardwood lumber they make monthly in their own sawmill, they buy several million feet of hardwood lumber monthly from surrounding hardwood mills that have not their facilities for completing the manufacture of the products. This is a factory of mighty proportions and many departments where they translate hardwood lumber of all sorts into items and units of more than a thousand different sorts, including trim, mouldings, treads and risers, sills and thresholds, cedar closet lining, glued-up counter-tops and panels, hardwood lumber of all commercial Southern species; as well as furniture, automotive, radio, and cabinet items of innumerable sorts.

The lumber comes from the dry kilns to the rear of the factory, and from there on a series and succession of machines awaits it, cutting, slicing, re-sawing, drilling, dressing, sanding, fitting, gluing, and working it into every conceivable shape and character that they can find markets for. To cut out the knots, the wane, the defects of all kinds. and get every bit of clear lumber possible out of the boards, and then make those pieces fit the order file; that is the business of this dimension plant. They do not entirely make radios, and furniture, and trucks, and all that sort of thing;

but they almost do. And rvhen the stock is shipped to the user all he has to do is put it together and fasten it in place. They do much gluing up and fitting to make a wide variety of rvooden items out of small stock. Nothing is wasted in the Bradley dimension plant. You can hardly count the machines in the various rooms and departments. And the product of this plant is perfectly protected in shipping. It is bundled, crated, covered, insulated, and every corner is protected from shipping damage. And they load it all in well lined and protected cars so that it will arrive at destination just as it leaves the factory.

All the innumerable wooden things they make in this dimension plant are not of direct interest to the lurnber trade. But many of them are. So, if desired, there can be included in the same car order the various building items already innumerated in this story, all the sorts of flooring named; oak and gum "unitrim" for doors and windows in packaged sets; trim and mouldings in red and sap gum, red and white oak; oak and gum glued-up tops and panels, up to 16 feet; hickory products including skis; kiln-dried furniture and automobile dimension; all sorts of Southern hardwood lumber; hardwood treads and risers, sills and threshholds, cedar closet lining; and, if desired, satin-like Arkansas Soft Pine products of all sorts.

Almost anything desired that can be cut from Southern commercial hardwoods and Arkansas Soft Pine can be had at Bradley's great lumber service station.

The Bradley Lumber Company belongs to the estate of the late S. H. Fullerton, who founded it, and who spent the last many years of his life in Pasadena, California. His eldest son, R. W. Fullerton, is President and Manager of the business. and lives at Warren.

\(/.yerhaeuser Announces a Class 3 (Titfe 1) Service

Of unusual interest to lumber dealers is the announcement made by Weyerhaeuser Sales Company and Wood Conversion Company that Class 3 (Title l) deals are now covered by the ABC Monthly Payment plan.

This new small home loan plan, according to Allied Building Credits, Inc., makes it possible to build homes and summer cottages rvith loans up to $2500, payable in month_ ly installments for various terms up to a maximum of 15 )'ears, with an investment in property, in land, or an interest in land in an amount equal to 5% ol the appraised value of the completed property.

The service is made available by Alliecl Building Credits, Inc., to customers of Weyerhae,rrei Sales Company and Wood Conversion Company who are regular users of the ABC Monthly Payment Plan.

From the beginning of FHA, Weyerhaeuser has insisted that lumber dealers should be in position to maintain installment selling services rvithin their establishments and the policy of the Company has been to work to this end as rapidly as possible. With the addition of Class 3 to the ABC Monthly Pavment Plan, Allied Building Credits, Inc., has now reached its objective as the services offered norv include all FHA plans as well as a Supplementary Plan rvhich broadens greatly the scope of Title 1.

ABC Class 1 (Title 1) covers repairs, alterations and improvements of existing structures. Class 2 (Title 1) covers erection of new structures not to be used wholly or in part for residential purposes. The Supplementary plan

covers repairs, alterations and improvements of existing structures and, under certain conditions, the completion of unencumbered dwellings in large amounts and for longer terms than are available under FHA.

New residential construction is included in the ABC Title 2 service and in the Class 3 (Ttitle l) plan just announced. Summer cottages are also eligible under the llew program.

Class 3 (Title 1) has been widely discussed in the retail lumber industry. Since its inception dealers have insisted that such a service was vital to their success in selling homes and summer cottages but were usually unable to obtain satisfactory outlets for mortgages of this type. Only in a few scattered locations were financing instiiutions willing to take the paper. The ABC Class 3 (Title l) service is the first to be offered to lumber dealers on a national basis.

Since 1934 Weyerhaeuser has played a major role in pron.roting the use of installment selling by lumber dealers. Allied Building Credits, Inc., organized in 1937, already occupies a dominant position in the field. The growth of the Company has been rapid from the beginning and offices are now maintained in Saint Paul, Minneapolis, Chicag'o, Nevi'ark, Tacoma, Boston, Buffalo, philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Kansas City ancl Tampa. A corps of field men cover most of the states where the Company operates and the volume of business handled has already reached large proportions.

U. S. Steel Products To Dealer Trade

Since its founding in 1910, Columbia Steel Company, now a subsidiary of United States Steel Corporation, has considered itself a purely western enterprise.

In its early days, the facilities of the company consisted of one small open-hearth furnace and an iron foundry at Pittsburg, California, where steel castings were turned out for the expanding lumber, shipping and gold dredging industries. From this small beginning, Columbia Steel Company has expanded rapidly throughout the years until it is now the largest steel producer west of the Rocky Mountains.

In 1916, an additional open-hearth furnace rvas added to the Pittsburg Plant and from time to time others were built until today a total of six furnaces are in operation. By 1919, rolling n-rills were installed. While in 1923, a rod mill was placed in operation for the purpose of supplying rods for a new wire and nail mill.

This same year, Columbia Steel Company announced incorporation for the purpose of entering into the production of pig iron. The Utah Coal and Coke Company was included in the incorporation and coal and iron properties in eastern and southwestern Utah were added for a modern 500-ton blast furnace and coke-byproducts plant' In 1924, the first Utah iron was tapped from the furnace and made ready for shipment to California.

In the meantime, Columbia Steel Company had purchased the Torrance Plant of the Llewellyn Iron Works, thus expanding its operations into Southern California. In 1929, the addition of a tin mill was made to the Pittsburg Plant, making Columbia the only producer of tin plate west of the Mississippi River.

The same year, Columbia annouuced another forward step. An option on the company was purchased by the United States Steel Corporation and in 1930, the acquisition lvas completed. This brought the tremendous reserves of the Steel Corporation to Columbia, and the West Coast.

Immediate surveys were undertaken to determine methods rvhereby the variety and quality of Columbia's products could be improved. One of the first moves was to recondition the Torrance Plant. Modern machinery was installed and the plant is now rated as the most modern on the Pacific Coast. Four open-hearth and one electric furnaces provide steel for a variety of products manufactured at this plant.

At the present tirne, Columbia Steel Company employs some 5,000 persons and contributes materially to the industrial welfare of the entire Pacific Coast. A wide variety of products are manufactured in the company's mills and include nails, tacks and staples; 'ivire rope; woven wire fence and nettings; rolled steel products; castings; tin plate; and steel sheets for every purpose including corrugated roofing and sidings and the new Storm-Seal roofing.

The Geo. E. Ream Company, as wholesalers and jobbers of Columbia Steel products in Southern California, carry large stocks of nails, corrugated roofings, Storm-Seal, and nettings, to serve the dealer trade for use in the construction and building industry.

New Booklets lssued by Celotex Corp. Discusses lmportance ol Connectors

Five new booklets, "White Rock Magic," which discusses White Rock Gypsum Wall Board for new construction, remodeling and repairing; "Lasting Satisfaction from Anchor Walls," explaining the various applications of gypsum lath and plaster, also the use of balanced walls *iih at chot clips; "For Warm Climates Livable Interiors," which tells the important functions of walls and ceilings in today's livable homes; "Build Better Homes," giving the complete story on safety sealed constructed homes; and "Housing for Farm Profits," emphasizing the value of insulated farm buildings, have been issued by The Celotex Corporation of Chicago, Ill.All the booklets are illustrated by photographs and drawings.

Other sales aids issued by the company include the Certified Analysis Form and the bulletin on Sound Conditioning.

The several applications of Teco timber connectors to railway structures are discussed in a report to the American Railway Engineering Association by their subcommittee on "specifications and Design of Fastenings for Timber Structures."

Speaking of metal timber connectors, the bulletin says: "Without doubt the most important type of connector for timber trestle construction is the spike grid' With these connectors it is possible to develop a much larger portion of the inherent strength of the braces than is practical by other methods and the stiffness of the joints is greatly increased."

Attention is also called to the economical importance of clamping plates for use as tie spacers for maintaining proper distance between ties on railroad bridges and trestles.

Charlie Cross tVill Manage Truckee-Tahoe Lumber Company

Charles B. Cross has resigned his position as salesman for the Santa Fe Lumber Company to become nanager of the TruckeeTahoe Lumber Company, rvho have yards at Trnckee and Tahoe City. He will make his home at Lake Tahoe when he takes over his new duties on April 1. Charlie will have an interest in the company with E. T. Robie of the Auburn Lumber Company.

Charlie was born in Hanford, Calif., and is the youngest son of the late C. M. Cross, who was one of the well knor,r,n and highly respected veteran retail lumbermen of California. C. M. Cross was the founder of the Cross Lumber Company which concern still continues at Coalinga and Merced.

Charlie attended Stanford University and after leaving college spent a year with a finance firm in St. paul, Minn. He then moved to Los Angeles and was in the employ of the Bentley Lumber Company in Glendale, and later was with the Pacific Sash & Door Company of Los Angeles.

From 1932 to 1935 he was with the Cross Lumber Company at Coalinga. In the fall of 1935 he became associated with the Santa Fe Lumber Company as salesman, covering the interior of the state from Modesto to the Oregon line and Western Nevada.

Charlie has the distinction of being the only lumber salesman who ever managed to have himself snowed in at Rainbow Tavern near Truckee, where he lived at the company's expense for something like a week without the necessity of calling on the trade. This happened during the first week of February, 1938, while he was on a business trip to Reno, and was mentioned in our columns at that time.

Charlie is a First Lieutenant in the California National Guard, is a very popular lumberman, and widely known in California lumber circles.

Curtis Engineer Honored as "Modern P,oneert'

Sern Madsen, Engineer and Research Director of Curtis Companies, Incorporated, Clinton, Iorva, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork, was one of a group of "Modern Pioneers" honored by the National Association of Manufacturers at a banquet and program held recently in Chicago.

The Modern Pioneer program is industry's observance of the l50th anniversary of the founding of the American patent system. The movement began last July when scientific organizations and business groups were invited to nominate those persons whom they believed had enhanced living standards and created employment through their patented discoveries and inventions during the last 25 years.

In announcing the Chicago regional program, James D. Cunningham, chairman of the committee, pointed out:

"Throughout American history new jobs, new industries and higher standards of living have been produced by inventions and discoveries on the frontiers of industry. The patent system, established in 17X), has provided a stimulus not only to the inventor and research worker, but also the manufacturer and investor. It has typified, perhaps better than any other American institution, the American principle of reward and individual initiative. America is dependent upon its modern pioneers for new goods, new service and new enrployment opportunities. All America pays tribute in the Modern Pioneers program to these creators of higher standard of living and to the patent system upon rvhich the fruits of their genius is dependent."

Mr. Madsen was nominated and selected as a modern pioneer for his many contributions to the woodwork and building industry. During his many years of service with Curtis Companies, Incorporated, he has received sixty-nine patents and has fifteen more pending. One of his outstanding achievements rvas the development of the Curtis Silentite Pre-Fit Window Unit-the first basic improvement in double-hung lr'indow construction in nearly three hundred years. He has also developed the Curtis Silentite Casement Unit-Mitertite Trim-and numerous other products and machines n'hich have greatly improved modern woodwork and modern homes.

The Curtis' research Department pioneered the development of toxic treatment for .ivindows, frames and other woodwork. Mr. Madsen is also the inventor of many improved machines and nerv methods used in the production of fine builder's woodwork.
