A great deal of interest is being manifested in the contest to 6nd the oldest wooden shingle actually in use on a roof in California, and likewise to find the oldest Red Cedar Shingle actually in use on a roof in California. The Santa Fe Lumber Company, of San Francisco, believes this will be the biggest contest for lumbermen ever attempted in the state.

Every lumber dealer is invited to get started in HIS town, and try to dig up the prize shingle or shingles. Remember, a prize of $75 is offered for the oldest Red Cedar or Redwood shingle; a prize of $25 for the second oldest; a prize of $75 for the oldest Red Cedar Shingle; a prize of $25 for the second oldest. Should the oldest shingle prove to be a Red Cedar, the prize will be double, $150; second prize, double, would be $50.
