Here's one for the book. "How is business?" I asked a doleful looking lumber friend of mine. "Dull," he answered, "as dull as a day in heaven." Of course, he'd nevm been there. He'd simply read the orthodox descriptio4s.
Every now and then, and here and there, you hear of a competitive s,ituation where some of the bunch get tired of the tactics employed by others in the same gang, get mad, and start out by the famous price-cutting route to "give them a ride." How often have you heard one side say: "We'll cut prices until tbose price cutters get sick'of it." But it never works out, some way or other, with any sort of satisfaction. Time and experience has proven that you can't solve situations that way.
isn't in the cards.
I heard two lumbermen talking that ve'ry subject one day. One of them said: "I'm going to put my prices down so low that these price cutters can't meet them and live, and I'm going to keep them there until I teach those birds a lesson." And the other, who had been places and done things, laconically remarked: "You won't live that long." ***
We see all about us in California today added proof of the well known and experience taught fact that people do not buy or build when materials are low. Any building merchant in any branch of the industry can tell prospective builders today that lumber and all the other building materials can be bought for less money today than, ever before, that they can be bought for far less than their value, that there is every reason why they should increase in price, and that it would not be at all surprising if most of these materials were valued from 50 to 100 per cent higher a year from now than they are now. And that sales talk will avail not at all. * )r ,<
But wait until conditions begin bulging upward. All of a sudden materials begin climbing the hill. Everv day they go higher. And THEN, and not till then, does the building urge seem to come. People rush in to buy and build on a rising market. They always have. They always will. The fact that they can get materials today for far less than their actual value-for far less than those materials have any right to be sold for-makes n9t the least difference. It should, but itdoesn't.
One stout reason why Northwestern lumber keeps pouring into California regardless of local needs, is the great volume of export stock that has been shoved back into other water markets by the tariff against American lumber
that Japan put into effect last year. The Northwest used to ship 500,000,000 feet a year to Japan, and that business steadily increased. The tariff cut off about 400,000,000 feet of that desirable business, and it has to go somewhere else. And, since that business was mostly supplied by the same tidewater mills that supply California, it made pressure to the South a little greater.*
It is understood that Jap business men have secured control of much lumber and timber production in Russia, and the tariff was secured by them to give their. Russian stock a monopoly in Japan. They succeeded. So the tidewater mills of the Pacific Northwest took a terrific thrust below the belt from Russian lumber in that direction.
But that was not the only thrust they are getting from this same source. For the past two years Russia has been invading New York territory with softwood lumber coming across the Atlantic from Baltic ports. This competition has already brought consternation to American lumber producers, and is the chief basis for the proposed lumber tarifr. And, of course, the lumber and timber the Pacific Northwest mills have been shipping around to the New York territory by water, is feeling keenly the competition of this Russian lumber. So Russia is shooting these same mills from two directions.
Russian lumber is sold dirt cheap in New York. And it is splendid manufactured lumber, sawn carefully and exactly to measure. And the timber is Baltic Spruce and Pine, good looking wood. Gi course, Russia can sell it cheap. They sto'le the timber from its ourners, and manufacture the lumber at starvation wages. Most of the cost of the lumber in New York is ocean*freight.
California produced lurnber has felt no direct effects from these two Russian developments that have so hurt the Northwestern mills. Lumber products of this state enjoyed no Japanese export business at any time, nor have they met the Russian competition on the Atlantic Coast as yet. Something for the Redwood and California Pine folks to be grateful for, at any rate.
Here's a thought. Ninety per cent of the lumber that California buys and brings in from other parts of the world is unseasoned. And about 100 per cent of all the lumber that California manufactures and ships out to supply other parts of tlre world is thoroughly seasoned. We ship it dry, but buy and use it green. Funny, isn't it?
(Continued on Page 8)
(Continued from Page 6)
Up to a very few years ago most of the Fir lumber manufactured in the Pacific Northwest was dressed green. Today, with the exception of stock coming to California, very little lumber is treated ir1 that way. The rest of the world won't have it. The mills have learned to season their lumber, than dress it, and ship it bright. They had to do that to meet the competition of other woods, and supply the needs of ,people who have been taught that lumber must be seasoned for practically all building purposes.
O. H. Barr, highly respected retailer of Santa Ana, California, in addressing a meeting of lurnber and building men recently, remarked that if "the lumber industry had followed more closely the merchandising advice of The California Lumber Merchant it would be a great deal better off." Thanks. It sure is hard to get even the mqst intelligent retailers to get out of the rut. But we keep right on trying, always have, always will.
Twenty-seven years ago, Mr. J. G. Ganahl, then manager of the C. Ganahl Lumber Company, and W.F. Montgomery, who at that time was manag'er of the Montgomery & Mullin Lumber Co., pur,chased three acres of land-I92 feet on Sania lVlonica -Boulevard by 600 feet on Seward Street-for $3,000 and established the Hollywood Lumber Company. They operated the Hollywood Lumber Company under their joint ownership for several years, after which the C. Ganahl Lumber Company disposed of their interest to Montgomery & Mullin who have operated the yard up to the present time.
Dtrring the past sixty days, the Hollywood Lumber Company has sold 100 feet on Seward Street to Gauthier & Hutchins Co. for $30,000 and has leased the Santa Monica frontage on a basis of $600 per front foot and are ere,cting three buildings that will yield upward of $250,000 during a 'term of ten and fifteen years and still retain enough ground to operate the lumber yard.
The Union Lumber Company have been giving their friends something new and very attractive in the way of souvenirs, a photograph of their Sawmill and log reserve mill pond at Fort Bragg, California, which is glued to a piece of ,clear Redwood 6 by 24 inches. They make a very attractive office decoration. ,
/ n. p. Wells, formerly general mana€fer of the West Turlock Lumber Co., Turlock, has purchased the business of the Inglewood Lumber Co., Inglewood, and is now operating this yard.
Mr. Wells is one of the best known and most progressive retail lumbermen in California. He was vice-president of the Northern District of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, and has always taken a most active interest in association afiairs.
Henry C. Sherrard, who for the last ten years has been associated with the Fairfax Lumber Co., Fairfax, died suddenly from a heart attack in Healdsburg, March 31.

The steadily growing need and demand for increased efficiency in the handling of lumber in large lumber yards, brings into play continually, new methods and modernized equipment never thought of a few years ago.
Witness this scene in the great lumber yard of The Coos Bay Lumber Company, at Bay Point, Calif. This shows a Caterpillar tractor at work. In this particular instance this Cat is equipped with armored front and is pushing 30 cars of lumber weighing 105 tons, and handling the load with ease, speed and efiiciency.
This is a small Caterpillar "Ten" which does great work in this big Coos Bay yard, this concern having come to depend upon these tractors for the economical and efficient handling and distribution of their great output of lumber. Rubber tracks are used on these tractors, as shown, so as to do no damage to the wooden runways. These are especially adapted and constructed for lumber yard use.
Hugh Rieff, district sales manager of the Sampson Company, is confined to the Physicians and Surgeons Hospital at Glendale, Calif., as the result of an automobile accident on March 29. He suffered a severe concussion of the brain.

_ H, T. Parker, Pacific Coast representative of The Stanley Works, after several months of inveitigation in California devised a window frame for bull noied plaster return construction, which allows the use of weights and cords with the new Dillon Jam Proof Pulley. This type of construction is in ,common use in California houiis, especially in the Southern California territory. To meet these requirements, a sash weight of smaller diameter but of sufficient weight is used as the older type of sash weight was too largJfor this type of window frimes. The smaller sash-weigtrts are now being supplied by California foundries. The Stanley Works have speciai machinery equipment for routing in the sash pulleys which gives the job an accurate and attractive appearance and these machines have been installed and are noW in use at the E. K. Wood Lumber Co., Los Angeles and Oakland plants.
All window frames now being built at.the E. K. Wood Lumber Co., Los Angeles and Oakland plants, are equipped with this new Dillon Jam Proof Sastr- Pulley unle-ss otherwise specified.

"The economic problem facing the automotive and motor truck manufacturer today is the problem of selling and not production, as was the case several years ago," was the statement made by L. H. Bill, president of the Fageol Motors Company, in a recent interview.
"Expansion during the plst year has reached such a point in all lines of business that profit possibilities were thiorvn to the winds to receive the fickle attention and fatal results of mass selling. Business men inall lines of business reached beyond their natural clistribution areas. Concerns that were operating profitably in certain definite markets branched out and spread their efforts over markets wherein they were unknown and where there was a doubtful need for their services. Business men can be thankful that the recent period -o! !u-si19ss dissipation came to an abrupt end in October ol 1929. This performed the valued service of returning capital to industiy
"Conditions had reached such a Doint last vear." continued Mr. Bill, "that great industriei and businlss all over the country u'ere sending money to \Vall Street to secure 14 p-er cent interest,_while the people were investing in stocks that were paying them a return of 1.3 per ..trI itterest.
"We all knorv that safe and sound investments can always be made at 5rlto 6per cent and it is generally agreed that the entrepreneur, the business man. r,r'ho tak-es a chance, is entitled to get lO or 72 per cent for his gambling in an untried business venture. Norv that the wil"d ,p..u"-

Mr. Eng- strom is president of the Gold Spot Hoo Hoo Club No. 72 of Phoenix.
lation is over, capital must again return to the development of sound business enterprises throughout the nation. These industries and businesses are of every type, they are, in the_ final analysis, the safe, secure, sound- place for money and the result will be the return to sound business conditions.
"Sales efforts will, no doubt, be drawn into the areas of concentrated population where profitable sales are most likelv to be present, where they lan be had at a cost that rvill leave a final net profit.
"Manufacturers and distributors of merchandise and products will operate in these restricted areas on a zone plan that will give them an opportunity to pay dividends during 1930. Advertising to h6lp selling wili dndoubtedly play a gr€ater part thiJ year tfian it hls lor many yeari past. Sales and advertising must gear in closely' to the immediate problems and the result witt be a close co-ope- ration and a co-relation of efforts betrveen advertising, silling and production."
Mr. Bill states that Fageol Motors Company is looking forward to 1930 to be one of the most succesiful vears. from an operating and profit standpoint, in the history of the Fageol Motors Company. There is today wider- demand for motor trucks by careful, shrewd purihasers, who are conservative and cautious in their purchases than there has been in manv a dav.
"Sales wili not b. "r.".y, that we appreciate, but with constructive effort, and the offering of sound values, 1930 will reward fighters who think."

While insurance rates vary according to specific conditions involved, frgures on diflerent classes of lumber risks ghow definitely an average rate today only about 40% of the rate prevailing thirty years ago.
Without presuming to claim all the credit, "that Muttral interect" hag had a very large part in ef' fecting these rate reductions from which the entire lumber induetry has benefited so substantially.
To our policy-holderc, a 40/o dividend is added to the 60/o rate reduction, so that we ofier insurance today at actually only about 25/o of what similar insurance cost in | 900.
Lumber Mutual Insurance was created by lumber' men to furnieh a more cornplete specialized protection for the lumber industry and to provide it at lowest cost. That is exactly what it does.

l\/tORE than 10,000 dealers know that Sisalkraft shuts .,LVI out trouble for the contractor just as it shuts out moisture and air. Rough handling does not.affect it. As a protection for supplies, finished and temporary work, shipments, etc., it is ideal and a big money saver.
A lumber dealer said to us recently, "One of the reasong I like to handle Sisalkraft is because it saves my customers so much grief." A contractor naturally appreciates being told about a paper that stops many complaints from home owners and that save him money on the job. Test a sample for yourself. Wad it up. See if you can tear it. This tearing test distinguishes the real Sisallcraft from all other building papers.
We have developed a sales promotion plan for reaching your customers. Send a list of your contractors with your initial order and start this plan working for you.

MERGENCY! That's the thing that introduces many a buyer to the convenience and dependability of the McCormick stock at our tenninal in Witnington.
This distributing yard fills all regular and emergency orders with surprising dispatch. McCormick "straight-Line Service" is like that because McCormick controls every stage of its lumber production as well as its delivery. Three sailings each week from Northwest ports keep locd stock ready for the rush order.

On the subject of duty on lumber imported into the United States rvhich will shortly be up before the House:
I wish your indulgence for a few minutes to permit nre to offer a few thoughts for your consideration. I have watched the Congressional Record in the Senate discussions and have been somewhat surprised by statements that have been made. To say the least, many of them were extremely misleading. I wish to present to you ,the facts as we see them, part of which can be confirmed by the Forest Service:
First, the industry is anything but an integrated one. There is a vast number of mills, and no possibility of production or market 'control. No one company actually produces or controls as much as 3 per cent of the national production of lumber. '
Second, the capacity of the mills in the industry is vastly in excess of the country's consumption. '
-Third, if the entire importation of all woods from foreign countries were excluded by embargo, it would not afford sufficient market toabsorb the present unused capacity of the industry to produce.
Fourth, in periods of depression it takes more acres of-timber to support production than in favorable times, for the reason that a substantial proportion of the timber harvested must be left in the woods, because the yield is not sufficient to cover the cost of recovery; i.e., manufacture and transportation.
_ Fifth, fifty-four per cent of the lumber produced in the United States is consumed throu-gh_ channels of exports, railroad uses, box manr.rfacture, building and shipping of automobiles, crating of other products shipped in export, lumber consumed in the manuJacture of :sash and doors, the construction of farm implements and manufacture of caskets. The balance of production is consumed in construc- tion and all other industries, including such as the-furniture industry wh_ich is a large user of wood, etc., and not heretofore enumerated.
-Sixth, only 4l per cent of construction in the United States in 1928 was done on the farms, and only l0 per cent of the construc- Ition in this country- in -the iwenty years fiom 1909 i; lgtd;-i;;d- sive, was done on the farms. Farm construction is constantly declining.
Seventh, in the South, in Southern Pine lumber production alone, approximately 43 per cent of the timber cottru-ed in manufact-uri of-such lumber comes _from farmers, timber or togs proiu".a-a"j 's-old- by -the farmers. This is also true to a more 6r i... extent oi the hardwood. lurnber production, including the sales ;i;"lr;';"; oaK rogs Dy the tarmers to the manufacturers of such lumber in the Middle W.est. Approximately two and one-half times i. ;;;h-iir": Der rs sold by the farmers for the manufacture of lumber as is con_ sumed by all the farmers gf the country in the form "i furnt...---
Ejsh_$,. _consumption of._lumber as repie sentea lv purctras;, ih;r._ of., in 1925, was_38,684 million feet; in'1929, 33,912 miftio" t..i.-""a the purchases of lumber for the first 12 weeks of 1930 declines 1356 million feet as against _the same period iast year. proArrciior,-oi lumber in 1925 w-"s 40.519 *lttior-f".i, "ri'ii., t9Z9 35,081 million
feet. In the fir region, alone, there was four billion feet of capacity unused last year, and probably for the country as a whole the unused capacity amounted to six billio-n feet. If the present rate of decline in demand continues througfro'ut the year, the probabilities are that there will be less than 28 billion feet of consumption of lumber this year as against an undoubted capacity of 40 billion fdet, or, not over 66 per cent of capacity to produce. This has, and is resulting in a large amount of unemployment and under present conditions the unemploynent may increase.
It is our experience, because of short running time, that the payrolls, at our lumber mills, have declined something in excess of $15,- 000 per week. Our wage scales .have not declined and we do not believe it is advisable that any reductions therein should be made'; i.e., that nobody would be especially benefited. Men must live.
Should the lumber imported into the United States from Canada be excluded from this country, it wpuld give labor, employed in production of lumber in the country, an increase in payroll of $20,000,000 annually, but the volume of business would not be sufficiently great to absorb the unused production capacity of the mills in thb United States.
One statement was made that the lumber industry in the United States was prosperous, but only recently, i.e., under date of March 12, 1930, the "Business Week" published the following stafements:
'lEver since 1926 the largest number of failures has occurred in the lumber and woodworking industries. If you want a short business life if not a merry one, however, start a lumber mill, carpenter ,shop or a grocery or meat store. 'fhe chances are I to 5 that you will cash in (or out) within a year."
This would indicate that the condition of the lumber business has not been and is not prosperous.
There is no question as to the unemployment in the industry, nor the necessity for some means of protecting American lumber markets for American production employing American labor.
I hope that you can see your way clear to support a tariff on lum- ber. I only regret that the tariff involved does not amount to more than it doe.q. By reason of the exemptions of. rough lumber and lumber surfaced on one side, practically 70 per cent of the lumber now being imported into the United States from Canada and Mexico will continue to come in free.
I-n 4{ry event, with the, lumber industry's large capacity to produce, and with the consumptive demand of the country so substantially curtailed, competition of productive capacity for markets should assure the public of practically no increase in cost. At least. durinc the period of depression, with consumption declining rapidiy, as i-[ is, we should conserve our markets for the benefit-of our-people. If employments decline and payrolls become less the purihasjns power of the qeople contracts and the farmers suffer thiough cur-tailment of their markets of distribution.

IONEER EMULSIFIED ASPHALT isa product you can sell to every job of roof repairing because it will give your customers the utmost in protection and economy!
Here are the reasons why: In the past, the problem of repairing or recoating roofing presented real, serious difficulties. Ordinary roofing plastics and paints made from a coal tar base, soften under heat of the sun. resulting in failure of the roof coating and ultimate disintegration of the roof itself. Hot bituminous applications prove equally inefficient as cracking and checking soon occur, exposing the roof to the dangers of weather erosion and wear. Too, the hazard of firewith serious burns to workmen was an ever present danger during the application of hot materials.
Pioneer Emu lsif ied Aspha I t does away with these highly objectionable characteristics. Pioneer Emulsified Asphalt is a
pure asphalt that can be applied cold on metal, concrete, composition, or built up roofs. by hand brush or air spray equipment. and it forms a lasting, stable coating which permanently protects the surface to which it is applied. It will not flow under heat... nor wiil it crack or check at low temperatures! Pioneer Emulsified Asphalt bonds perfectly in a continuous, unbroken asphaltic coating that retains all its original life and protective value, indefinitely.
Simple to apply. . lasting in protection. and economical to use-these are the reasons you will be able to sell Pioneer Emulsified Asphalt to every roof i ng repa i r jo b ... industrial plants, warehouses, oflice bui ldings, homes, and for countless other uses.

A material increase in service to lumber dealers, lumber users and specifiers and West Coast mills is represented.by a number of recent developments in the trade extension field work of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. These include the addition of one man to the field stafi and the assignment of two men from the Seattle office to work in California, with headquarters in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The new member of the Trade Extension and Field Service staff is Justin T. Kingdon, who for several years has been doing sales promoting work for the lvood preserving companies subscribing to the Association. His headquarters are in Denver, Colo. Mr. Kingdon will continue the work he has been doing, which has been principally with highway engineers in the Middle West in the interest of treated Douglas fir in highway bridges and for other forms of highwav construction.
Mr. Kingdon has had many years of tra.ining- and varied experienceln the engineering field, goitg into this work in I9O2. His experience includes work with railroads, irrigation projects, street construction, sew.er and water-works systems, highway construction, oil field. construction, and preservativJ treaiment of timber. During 1.918 and 1919 he was a Captain of Engineers in the U. S. Army
C. W. Zimmerman, formerly working in the interest of treated wood from the Seattle office, has been assigned to work in California, with headquarters in the San Francisco office of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association. He has been with the Association since 1928.
Mr. Zimmerman took work in civil engineering at Purdue lJniversity and the University of Washington, graduating from the latter school and later taking post-graduate work there. This work consisted of a special course in strength values and preservative treatment of construction materials, particularly wood.
He later entered the United States Forest Service and for
ten years was an engineer in forest products in charge of the Seattle Timber Testing Laboradory, a branch of the Madison Laboratory, speciJlizing on strength tests ?1d--lhe preservative treatmint^of timber-. During the World War 'he -*s transferred to the United States Signal Corps where he served as an aeronautical mechanical engineer and
worked on sPecifications for wood parts for American-made airplanes. During the entire Period while located at the UniversitY of Washington, he was on the faculty of the College of Forestry as a special lecturer in timber mechanics and timber physics.
Mr. Zimmerman is the author of a number of articles and publications on the strength, Preservative treatment, seasoning and durability of West Coast woods. He will devote Particular attention to the use of treated Douglas fir in highway and marine construction.
C. McCune, who has been with the Association and th6 old Bureau since 1927, is now doing general trade extension work in California. His headquarters are in the Los Angeles office of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Associat-ion. Mr. McCune's work supplements that of A. A. Kayser, Association grades .inspector, who went to Southern California at the time the Association opened its Los Angeles office several months ago.
Mr. McCune was in charge of the Association's exhibit at the Oil Equipment and Engineering Exposition held in Los Angeles lrom March 16 to 23, the exhibit consistitg-of a 136-foot Douglas fir oil derrick built from standard designs developed by the National Lumber Manufacturers' Aisociation and presented to the American Petroleum Institute as tentative standards.
Mr. McCune is contacting groups of dealers, individual dealers and lumber specifiers and users in the interest of proper and more extensive use of West Coast woods, and io promote a greater understanding, on the part of both deaiers and manufacturers, of their closely related problems.

I wandered thru the forest Upon a summer's day, Believing that no other Had ever fared that way. "I'm all alone with Nature !" I cried with heart athrill, And then thru tangled underbrush I climbed the fragrant hill.
I paused upon the summit And felt my heart expand, For peace and silence hovered O'er all the sunlit land. The summer br€ezes passing Sighed softly through the pines, No sounds of toil were wafted From highways, farms, or mines.
And so, alone rvith Nature I sat me down to rest, 'Til sunset's crimson splendor Illumed the cloud-hung west. "f thank Thee, God," I murmured, "Our God, our Father's God, Thou hast planted verdant banners Where 'human foot ne're trod !"
In ecstacy of spirit
I rose to bless the hillsAnd on the ro'ck beside me, Read, "Take Shawn's Liver Pills."

The story goes that after the last presidential election Raskob decided that the criticism of Al Smith's East Side type of English had had much to do with his defeat at the polls, and that if Smith were ever to do anything in national politics he must get his English straightened out, so Raskob eurployed a fine young English professor to spend three months with Al and teach him better English.
Langford W. Smith, sales manager of the Red River Lumber Co., Westwood, is spending a month in the East, his first vacation in some years. He will spend most of the time in Washington, D. C'
At the eqd of a month Raskob sought out the young professo,r, and said to him:
"Professor, how is Mr. Smith's English progressing?"
"Oh, g-reat !" replied the professor, with much enthusiasm and gesture. "After de toid lesson his accent was poifect."

Alongside of the Columbia River, at St. Helens, Ore.; the large Fir-Tex plant covering an area of over six acres and containing 149,6L2 square feet of concrete floor, is rapidly nearing completion. Here sarvmill waste will be converted by Jnewly discovered process into insulation board. It is the plant of the Fir-Tex Insulation Board Company in which a number of prominent California business men have been chosen as directors. These are: Herbert Fleishhacker, President, Anglo London-Paris Bank, San Fran-
experimental plant, a board was produced and tests were -ad. itt the nationallv known laboratories of the Robert H. Hunt Company and by Mr. G. F. Gebbardt of the Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago.
Features of the New Plant
Straight-line production is carried ou-t perfectly in the new Fii-Tex plint. Starting at the dock on a- degP water channel where chipped sawmill waste is brought by barge from the sawmills, it is loaded by derrick on to a conveyor which carries it 700 feet to the storage bin in the digestor building. 'A battery of six huge l8-foot diameter rotary globe d"igestors, wi[h a capacity of .3000 cubic feet edch, ire loaddd with raw material, ihen.filled r/ith steam and hot water. After a few hours of softening, the material-is emptied into the conveyor pits, {rom wh-ere it goes by.c9"veyors into a series of shredding machines, o-perated by synchronizing motors. This procEss shreds and reduces it to wood fibri of the finest cbnsistency. From here it is pumped to the mixing tanks where the now pulpous mass is kept in constant agitation.
Next in the manufacturing process is the large board machine, especially designed for insulation board manufacture-166 inches wide. Into this machine the pulp comes at a proper thickness and then by a succession of rolls, it .-.ri.r^ as insulation board, \i f.eet in width and 7/16 inchei in thickness. It produces an endless chain of the finished product at a rate of 20 feet per minute.

G, King, President, King Lumber Compiny, San Francisco, and William B. Dean,.General Maniger, Diamond Match Company, Chico, Calif. : Fir-Tex is the creation of A. E. Millington and son, C. A. Millington, who have been closely associated with the early development of insulation materials in this country' Whln the importance of insulation began to be recognized; A. E. Millington was called upon because of his wide experience as a designer, builder and operator of some of the leading paper, pu-lp and board plants in the United States and Canada. h 1926, accompanied by C. A. Millington, he came West and built an experimental plant, equipping it with miniature machines of his own design. The machinery of this little plant weighed over 20 tons. For three years they cgntinued to work and experiment. The chipped wood and bark were prepared for treatment in many different ways. Processes were constantly tested, revised and improved, and many tests for insulation and sound-deadening values were made. Tensile strength, waterproofing and fire retardant qualities were important factors considered.
At the end of three years of concentrated research in this
The scientific drying of the board contributes much to its strength and insuiation value. In the new Fir-Tex plant, the drier is in 8 decks, 15x360 feet. Finished board as it comes from the drier is inspected, checked for color and weight, cut into standard 4-foot widths and lengths to 12feet. Special sizes will also be made. The board storage is a separate all-steel building, 90x30O feet in size, with railroad tracks through center so that cars may be loaded at door height from both sides.
Other buildings .at the Fir-Tex plant include separate all-steel boiler house with 2lGfoot 'reinforced concrete stack. Oil burners generate steam used in digestors and for heating purposes. All machines are operated electrically by individual motors. A pumping plant has a capacity of 4000 gallons per minute, with a water tower of 50,000 gallons capacity for the fire sprinkler system with which' the plant is equipped throughout. Two oil tanks have a capacity of 25,000 gallons.
A separate modern two-story office building is also located on the site, the lower floor of which will be occupied by the large laboratory in which processes of manufacture rvill be constantly stirdied.
Ground was broken for the Fir-Tex plant on September 23 last by the J: F. Shea Construction Company, general contractors. All concrete work is nolv practically completed, the machinery is rapidly going into place, steel sash and roof are installed, The pump house, boiler house, board storage building, office building, concrete stack, water and oil storage tanks are all finished.
"Times are hard," says the Lumber Industry. "No one is buying lumber."
True enough, but how many are selling lumber? And selling is not done by waiting for someone to buy.
Mill output sold to Dealers is actually not sold at all. It is not sold until it is consumed and paid for. In the Dealer's hands it is still in transit to market.
Dealer and Mill man are partners in production and distribution. It is the Mill Man's job to provide material to meet modern merchandising requirements and the Dealer's job to sell it to the consumer. He must sell ideas and the desire for improvement as well as material.
As long as a building remains in need of repair and as long as there are houses without modern built-in utilities and conveniences there is a lumber market. A systematic canvass ofiering practical suggestions is bound to yield profitable returns. The building owner who makes a small improvement today is often stimulated thereby to larger projects tomorrow.
RED RIVER offers the Dealer a modernized line of high quality. It also provides a buying plan designed to meet "hand-to-mouth" buying and the handling of small iobs as economically as large oner.
RED RIVER MIXED CARS supply small quantities at carload prices and carload handling cost. Up-tothe-minute built-ins, shipped K. D., as many or as few as desired, sash, doors, plywood panels, moulding and all yard items. Manufactured and loaded at one point with one handling cost.

"Shame on you !" stormed the judge to the colored prisoner. "You come into this court and state that, because you believe in signs, you refuse to go home and live with your wife. I repeat, shame on yotr ! A man living in this age shouldn't let superstition break up his home."

"The superstition that all our hours of work are a minus quantity in the happinege of life, and all the hours of idleness are plus ones, is /most ludicrous and pernicious doctrine, and its great{/ support comes from our not taking sufficient trouble, not making a real effort, to make our work as near pleasure as it can be."

John G. Ziel, partner in Barg Lumber & Shipping Co., San Francisco, has just returned from a six months' trip to the Orient, in the course of which he spent two months in the Philippine Islands, u'here he secured for his firm the agency for United States and Canada for the Filipinas Lumber Co. of Manilla, with several mills in the province of Tayabas, on the Island of Luzon.
Stock produ,ced by this company is of the hard, ,closetextured variety and compares very favorably with the best Philippine hardwoods. Filipinas Lumber Co. is one of the so.called "Big Five" of the Industry, and the stock is well liked on the Pacific Coast.
NIr. Ziel spent several weeks on the Island of Hokkaido, Japan, visiting the Japanese Oak and Birch mill in Otaru, which his concern represents in North America, and also paid a visit to the logging operations in the interior. This mill produces excellent Jap Oak lumber from the choicest logs, and shipments are being made not only to America but also to Europe, Australia and South Africa. Japanese Oak prices are higher this year on account of the strength of the Japanese Yen, which is about 15 per cent higher than at this time last year.
He also spent some time in China, where among other places he visited Shanghai, Hongkong and Canton. General ,conditions in China are poor, he said, owing to the internal troubles, civil war, etc. Business in Japan is only fair. In the Philippines certain industries are curtailing their activities somewhat in the belief that there is a chance that the Islands will be gianted their independence. "My personal opinion, however, is that there is no chance of the Philippines becoming independent for a long time to come, nor would it be to their interest," Mr. Ziel said.

Starting with a four color full page adv'irtisement in the April issue of Sunset, the home magazine which covers the entire country west of the great divide, with a circulation of almost 200,000, the Built-In Fixture Company of Berkeley has launched a consumer advertising campaign which will run for a year in this magazine with the purpose of making more sales of Peerless Built-In Furniture for Peerless dealers in this territory.
The campaign will include several full pages in color, as well as other advertisements in black and white.

In the announcement of this campaign which has been sent to the dealers, it is requested that they send the Built- In Fixture Compan.v a list of prospects foi Peerless equip- ment.
