Sand Etched Panels and Doors Featured in Exhibit

Owing to the growth of their busiriess on the San Francisco side of the bay, the Chicago Lumber Co. of Washington have established headquarters in the new Building Material Exhibit at 557 Market Street, San Francisco.

The permanent exhibit of the cornpany's products and office there is in charge of Lloyd V. G4aham, who will spend the greater part of his time calling on architects and con-' tractors.

Located right in the heart of the city the exhibit which features sand etched panels, plaques and doors, has already attracted a lot of attention from prospective home builders, architects, contractors and lumber dealers.

Mr. Graham told a representative of this paper that since the Chicago Lumber Co. of Washington decided after a long period of research work to add a sand etching department to their big plant in Oakland, they have found the possibilities along this line much greater than they had believed.

Most of the panels on show are of vertical grain Redwood and Douglas Fir, and it is interesting to note the different effects obtained by using an identical design on panels of the same wood, but with a difference in the grain, and also by using the same design on several kinds of wood.

Among the popular designs. are the Covered Wagon, Spanish Galleon and other ship subjects, George Washington, etc., but while there is a large variety of stock designs, any special design required can be supplied. Beautiful effects, are gained by the use of stain and by hand coloring in oils.

A picture of an artistic Douglas Fir door sand etched panels bearing the Spanish Galleon with insert design appeared in a recent issue of this paper.
