I've been in business places where the air wag thick with gloom, And the men were sad and solemn like the mourners at a tomb, And there waan't any busineso or an order coming inAnd, what'e more, there never will be till thoee fellows etart to grin.

Much too long we've sobbed and whimpcred, much too long we've talked of woe, Now it's time for optimicm and the hopcful phraae: ..LET'S GOI''

Forestry Aid Measure Wins

SACRAMENTO, April S-The Assembly today concurred in the Senate constitutional amendment by Senator A. B. Johnson, Pasadena, which would exempt-from taxation forest timber, except merchantable timber, for a period of forty years after the time of planting or rerhoval of the original iimber for commercial purposes. _ The _proposed amEndment already having been adopted by the upper house, the measurC will norv go on the ballot at the next election. The proposal does not exempt land on which the timber is growing.

Proponents of the Johnson proposal contend that by-the contemplated tax exemption individual land owners will be encouraged to reforest- their lands, while at. present, it is said, pro-perty owners failed to pay taxes on their land after the tihbir his been removed, thus making it necessary for the separate counties to take over the property.

Visualize Your Goods

Even when piled neatly and attractively, LUMBER doesn't explain very much about itself.

The lumber industry hasn't reached the point where habit makes people see WHAT IT IS'and WHAT IT DOES with the same eye.

People buy many raw materials properly. They thinkfor instance-of bread, and cake, and biscuits, when they buy FLOUR, because they have learned the FUNCTIONS of flour, and think of them rather than of the raw material.

LUMBER hasn't reached that stage by any means.

When the lumbermen have educated people to think HOME, SHELF, BARN, etc., instead of LUMBER, just as they think BREAD, CAKE, BISCUITS, etc., instead of FLOUR, things will be as they should be.

STOP TALKING LUMBER AND SHINGLES.

Talk SHELTER in its various capacities.

DON'T have your townspeople think LUMBER when they think .of. you, because -LUMBER does NOT appeal to any of their sensibilities.

But so work, and so talk, and so act, and so advertise. that when they think of YOU, they think of the various wolderful things that your stock will BUILD, that means shelter, and comfort, and luxury, and service, and satisfaction, to the human race.
