The decision of the Southern District of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association at its meeting held in Los Angeles on April 6th, to put into effect on July first in Southern California segregated grades and American Lumber Standards for buying and selling lumber in the retail lumber yards of this territory, is a most interesting and im' portant one. Probably no more important step was ever taken cooperatively by the retailers of trhis territory.
raa
That decision was in the form of a resolution stating that since all the lumber clubs of Southern California had expressed theniselves as favoring the segregating of grades and establishment of American Lumber Standards, and the California Association as a whole had likewise gone on record as being of that same mind, then it was resolved that July first be set as a fixed date on which lurnber in separated grades will be available in retail lumber yards in Southern California in accordance with American Lurrrber Standards, and that thereafter the sale of mixed grades be discontinued.
since that action *tu;" ;" ,:*"" of much discussion between now and July first, a discussion of the merits of the movement, and its various practical aspects, should be timely hcre. The California Lumber Merchant suggests to all concerned that the step is a forward one, was bound to come to this territory sooner or later, and that every man and every firm give it operyminded consideration. In the beginning it wiU seem difficult to some, and to others obnoxious. Some will object because it wiil inject into trheir business afiairs details of operation that they have not formerly encountered. To others it wiU necessitatc chang.es that they would rather not encounter. And there will be other objections.
To begin with, Ameri:* ;r.r,,l* Standards came into cxistence at the direct bidding of a well known and highly respected Californian, one llerbert Hoover, of Palo Alto. As Secretary of Commerce he was a mighty good friend of the lumber industry, as well as of all other worth while industry. He did more in his term of office to bring order out of chaos in American business than has been done in all the previous history of Americaq business. Mr. Hoorrer found too little uniformity, and great lack of known and fixed quantities in practically ALL busincss. He pro. ceeded to help iron out thoae difficulties, considering first the rights of the American public, and ncxt the welfare of the induetries thcmselvcs.
When he got to the lumber industry he probably threw up his hands in dismay. 'W'e've often wondered what his trained engineering mind must have t'hought when it in' ventoriod the lumber business? For in this industry there were fewer fixed facts, and more numerous G.O.K.ts (God Only Knows) than in any other basic irldustry. Truly' Mr. Hoover must have marveled.
And Mr. Hoover minced no words when he stepped before a great mass meeting of the lumber industry, cdled at his request in the City of Chicago. He didn't say that he thodght they should do thus and so. He was nice in his rernarks, and kindly in his tone, but every man iq that audietrce felt that, in the words of Longfellow, "The velvet scabbard held a sword of steel". He told the lumber industry to get together, get their business down to a firm foundation insofar as its contacts with the public are concerned, and create and devise and put into practice knorrn and fixed qualities, so that the public might know and understand what its trade terms meant, and what they guarantd- He told them to go ahead and do their own house cleaning, and hinted that by so doing they would save the Government the trouble, and that the Government much preferred that they do their own self helping.
From that time on the lumber industry as a whol,e' through centralized working bodies and committees, has been seeking to create and put into practice certain definite standards for lumber, thc idea being that grades, sizes, and iterns should be standardized, imd uniform, and understandable, anywhere and everywhere in the country. Goyernment approval of this campaign has been continuous.
The recent action of the Southern California retailers is simply the following along of this progtam" For several years the various softwood species have beeq busy with their grading rules, trying to make their grades comparable. In California, and in the coastwise lumber trade fronrr the North to this state, a much bigger problem presents its€lf than in almost any ottrer part of the American lumber industry, because of the time-honored trade conditions and usages. Cornmon lumber is not segtegated as to grade, but generally bunched. Moisture content is not considered in weighing the grade or value, most common lumber used in California being green (a usage found nowhere else except in the Coast of the Pacific Northwest). **tD
The American Lumber Standardization Committees have (Continued on Page 8.)
cCORMICK "straight-line service" serves California lumber needs adequately--+fr ciently-speedily !
At our great distribution yards in Wilmington we constantly keep in stock millions of feet of the finest lumber the Northwest produces. Every other day vessels of the big McCoimick feet leave Columbia River and Puget Sound for the South with lumber car-
goes. Very often telephone orders from California are loaded out from Northwest ports on the day received.

had a tough wrestling match over this moisture content business. Naturally it presente'd a serious problem to the maqufacturers of the Pacific Northwest who have always shipped a large majority of their cornmon lumber Bren, and who had no facilities, as a rule, for drying same. Finally the Northwest manufacturers agreed on a moisture content specificatlon for their upper grades, but insist that rrdth common lurnber it should be a matter of contract.
Southern Pine, fighting the inroads of the Fir products in all their old territories, went ahead and recerttly wrote into its grading rules that any lumber containing more than a specified amount of moisture, took the next lower grade.
The lumber bu3iness in California has always been a BULK business. The big tidewater mills of the North have cut their lumber and timbers in great volume, and loaded them right from the saw onto vessels headed for California Lumber is generally cheaper iq California than anywhere else in the world. F,:rcessive competition is one reason for this condition, but bulk manufacture and "dumping" is the big reason. The mill that cuts 400,000 feet of lumber today, and has it on the way to California day after tomorrow, doesn't naturally help keep up lumber prices. If that same mill had to handle, pile, dry, re-handle, and theq ship carefully and protectively (as they do for practically all other territories) there wouldn't be so much pressure always on the California market, and conditions

would not be so almost eternally disrupted as they are here. ***
This move on the part of the California Retailers is the first move toward lumber standardization in this state. It is the first change that aims to make the lumber business in California slightly less a volume business, and somewhat more a known quantity. When it becomes effective thd consumer will buy his grades specifically and definitely''to suit his needs and purposes, and there will be available to him the standard specifications so that he may determine just what he wants. ***
In the long run it will hurt no one, and will help e\reryone connected with the industry. The mills of the North may object, but it will be a blessing to them. The curse of the Fir industry is their huge productivity, and inclination to dump their product. Any move that slornrs them up, will be helpful. Anything that makes California less a dumping ground will help every wholesal,er and retailer in the state. And the consumer will be many times benefited!8 :F :F
Water always seeks its level. So does busirless. California conducts its lumber business totally unlike the rest of the wodd. Which won't dways be. Many changes will come. This segregation of grades is only the first one" It's the law of standardization, of uniformity, of progress. Watch and seet

Not on price! C. I. Speer found another way to get in stronger with local contractors. He offered to eliminate their old grief with doors.
Like the craft all over the country, Oakland contractors w€re inevitably rushing jobs to completion. Hanging doors before the plaster was dry. And paying the penalty for it-planing down doors that swelled, replacing those that warped.
So Mr. Speer put in a stock of guaranteed Laminex doors that do not shrink or swell or warP. Even ifcontractors had to pay a few cents more for Laminex, he reasoned, they would prefer these doors for their troublefree service.
And local contractors did! "We find," says Mr. Speer, "that our door business has shown a substantial increase due, we feel sure' to Laminex advantages."
There are several thousand mills and lumber yards that feature L,aminex for no greater reason than this. These doors save their contractor customers much grief' Naturally they sell faster. And they attract new customers to the mills.

R AINS may batter and storns may blow r: but if a home is properly constnrcted of McCloud Shevlin Pine throughout, it will withstand tfie elements for centuries.
In New England there are houses of the same kind of enduring Pine which were built centuries ago. M*y of the homes that stood up in the Florida hurricane were structures correcdy built of sturdy Pine.
The frame of a home is its backbone. It may be covered up, but fimsy frame-work does not remain hidden long. It is soon reveded in cracked plaster, sticking windows and doots, leaky roofs and sagging foors.
McCloud Shevlin Pine, though light in weight, has sufficient rigidity to stand sffuc-' tural streso, and when thoroughly seasoned it seldom warps, twists, shrinks or Sruells.
The general committee meeting of the Termite Investigations Committee was held in the Assembly Room, Alexandria Hotel, Los Angeles, Wednesdav evening, April 17.
Follorving the <linner, A. A. Bror,vn, San Francisco, associated r'vith the California-Hawaiian Sugar Refining Co. and the Matson Navigation Co., and chairman of the Termite Investigations Committee, presided over the business sessions of the meeting.
Dr. C. A. Kofoid, University of California, chairman of the Biology committee, referred to the circular by Professor S. F. Light distributed at the meeting and which presents a brief description of the termites, their habits, and the damage they do. He stated that the circular is a contribution from the committee: 15,000 copies are to be sent to the farmers in California while 15,000 copies are to be reserved for the committee. Dr. Kofoid also discussed briefly the termite situation in the state.
Professor S. F. Light, {Jniversity of California, r'icechairman of the Biology committee, gave the salient points of the committee program and rvhat has been done to date. The program as -outlined includes : preliminary survey- kinds of termites, distribution, abundance and economic importance; movements of termites-investigation, is there termite invasion ? steps to prevent invasion; termite habits and life histories ; facts governing distribution and activity; conditions leading to attach; statistical damage as to the extent of termite damage; data as to increase of damage. Professor Light also reported on the field investigations that have l:een carried on in the various sections of the state and in Arizona.
Dr. Merle Randall, University of California, reported on the progress of the work carried on by the chemical com- mittee. Dr. Randall stated that the organization work of the chemical committee is norv practically completed and the investigations of the chemical problems are .1ror,v under way. Thomas C. Doody has been employed as chemical engineer for the Termite Investigations Committee to carry on the work of the proposed program. He has established and is now equipping a laboratory in the entomology building at the tlniversity of California.

Just as it is in practically everything we buy, there must be a reputation established for quality before we can buy with confidence. We haven't time to experiment with products of unknown value and quality, and lumber is no exception.

John A. Stroud, for the last five or six years with the E. J. Dodge Co., San Francisco, manufacturers of Redwood, is leaving the lumber business on May 1, to become associated with Sutro & Company, stock brokers, San Francisco.
In addition to being one of the most popular lumbermen in the San Francisco Bay district Mr. Stroud will always be rernembered as one of the University of California's great football stars. He played football for California from 19@ to 1912, and was Captain in 1912. He was afterwards graduate manag'er, and while holding this position went East and secured the services of the late Andy Smith, famous football coach.
It is also interesting to recall that Mr. Stroud toured Europe as a member of the University of California Glee Club in 1912, and that when in London the club was entertained by Herbert Hoover at his home there.
In line with their expansion program .and to give additional service to their Pacific Coast dealers, the Built-In Fixture Co. of Berkeley, California, has rearranged its sales territory and reorganized its sales force.

During the three months he will be away, he will also visit dealers in Western Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
The Southern California territory has been divided: the Los Angeles suburban territory rvill be handled by Jimmie Chase, while Lewis Clark will be looking after the Los Angeles metropolitan market. Earl W. Smith will cover the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, Northern California and Southern Oregon as far as Grants Pass. Jerry Jermark, who formerly covered Northern California, will norv intensify his efforts on the district adjacent to the San Francisco Bay and as far south as Kings City.

This business of putting all the emphasis ,on PRICE has become absolutely a complex in the retail lumber business.
When a man comes in to buy lumber, the first thing the dealer wants to assure him is that his prices are "right".
When the prospect shows his list of needs or wants, the pencil sharpening starts.
The dealer may not be getting ready to shade his price, but he is certainly preparing ,to defend it.
He can't get out of his head the idea that this man who comes lumber shopping is interested first and foremost in the price he is going to be charged.
'
His primary thought that if he can justify his price, he will get the business.
Yet, take that same lumber dealer. Put him in the buyer's instead of the seller's position. Spring has come. He wants a new straw hat. He starts out to get one.
Does he go to every hat store in town and price the sort of hat he wants, and place his order with the lowest bidder?
Does he stop at the first hat store he comes to, and try to Jew him down on his hat prices ?
He does neither, of course.
What does he do?
Why, he does just. what every other man does. He goes to the store where he likes to trade, where he has always been treated fairly, where he knows a good grade and assortment.of hats are to be found, and where he has learned from experience he gets a fair deal in every way. He looks
Paul Schmidt, formerly manager of the San Bruno Lumber & Supply Co., San Bruno, is starting a new yard a,t San Bruno. The name of the new concern is the Keystone Lumber & Supply Co., and the office and sheds are now in course of construction.
"Ted" Monette, log pond superintendent of the Hammond Lumber Co. at Samoa, recently celebrated his 54th anniversary in the Humboldt County logging industry.
Mr. Monette came to Humboldt County fro,m Canada in April 1875, and is now 77 years of age.
over their line, tries on the hats he is interested in, and finallv blrvs a hat that fits his needs, his head, and his purse. He pays the hat man's price withou't question.
And he sees nothins wrons with his method of bur nothing wrong his buying.
But the minute he starts SELLING. Oh, Man ! What a difference ! He can't put himsel.f in the other fellow's shoes, as he should. He can't understand that men buy their lumber like they buy their hats, and their shoes, and their other needs, by simply going where they like the kind of treatment they reoeive, and dealing with a man or a concern they have faith in.
Of course, ,that's up to the dealer. Has he by his contact with the public, by the conduct of his business, by the methods he has employed, qualified as the sort of man other f'olks will delight to call on and entrust their problems with, when they want building materials, and building things?
That's the most important-the ONE important-question to be answered.
Of course, if he's "just another lumber dealer", then he can't get business that way.
Butif they think of him first when they'think building, and building materials; if they enjoy meeting him on all occasions; if the thlngs they have learned about him thr,ough their own experience or through others, make them respect him in his profession; and if his place of business is well kept, and interesting looking, and a pleasant place to drop into-tell me, folks, why should he have to take the price route to sell merchandise?

The following resolution on trade extension and grade-
rnarking as presented by the board of directors was adopted by the convention:-RESOLVtrD:
That we express our appreciation of the splendid work that is being carried on in behalf of the entire lumber industry by tfie National Lumber Trade Extension Committee, under the guidance'and direction of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, in cooperation with our olvn and other and allied organizations' Through advertising, research, building code,development' and ot[er varied activities, the use of lumber has been promoted in a most helpful and satisfactory rvay, and great credit is due those who are in charge of this work, for the energy and ability with which they have handled a difficult task.
That difierences of opinion should develop in connection rvith this work is but natural in view of its many-sided character, and because of recent differences on grade-marking and trade-marking', we desire to make clear the fact that in"accordance rvith foimer actions, we are in favor of gradernarked and Association trade-marked lumber (as long as nothing appears in the trade-mark symbol to identify 'the source of supply), and are sincerely rvilling to co-operate in its promotion.
Ho*ever, in fairness to all, we must insist that there should be no discrimination against unmarked lumber that is gradecl according to Association Rules and subject to official inspection.
Approximately 85 per cent of the lumber now produced by liige ancl small mllls, inclusive, is at, present unmarked. This lumber must be marketed in an orderly manner' largely through the r'vholesaler, rvho must and rvill insist that ii be given a square deal. Therefore, in.justice to those rvho, through choice or necessity, make, distribute, or con.u*e .r.-t-tked lumber, and to meet the situation brought about bv those who are demanding and insisting that.o-nly grade aircl trade markecl lumber be purchased or specified, ive state as an undeniable fact that marked arrd unmarked lumber is produced from the same class of trees, and one is no bettei than the other, when both are properly manufactured and graded.
Further, we suggest that when necessary our members furnish the purchiier rvith guarantees such as the following:
Form No. l-to be used on order blanks or acknowleclg- ments:
This tumber witt t1"f'l*Tlt3.o,r* to Association Rules and in case of .dispute is subject to tifficial Ir;p;.ii.;, by_which rve mutuallv ag.ee to abide.
Form No. 2-to accompany the orcler to the mill to be placed in car when loaded:
The lumbe, i" thi.G.U'ti*m-T gracred according to Association Rules and in case of cli.spute is subjec? to Official Inspection.
Added.weight.may be given these forms by placing there_ on our Association symbol, indicating as ii does ihat the seller is a member in good stancling of the National_Ameri_ can Wholesale Lumber Associatio]r, It is to be understood that these suggestions shall not be construed as in any way opposing tEE orclerly clevelop_ ment of the use of marked lumber, ind are onty intended to help meet the difficulties that at present confront the lumber industry, in connection rvith tiris sul>iect.

John I. Shafer, chairman of thi resolutions committee. presented the resolutions to the convention u,hich were unanimously adopted. Following the convention, the board of directors adopted the follorving resolrrtion :
RESOLVED: That the Board of Directors of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association afproves the desire of the Northern'Hemlock and Hardrvood Manufacturers Association to aid insofar as compatil)le with g;;;l business ethics, in merchandising lumber-in strict ac&rrd_ ance with.standard grading rules,-but does not approve any plan which tends to confuse the recipient of the iumber as to the responsibility under rvhich the certificate is issued, or from whom such graded lumber may be purchased.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That this resolution be referred to a committee of three from ihis Association to be appointed by the President rvho shall confer rvith the National Hardwood Lumber Association and the interes,ted hardwood manufacturing .associations to protect the best interests of lumber buyers :.nd wholesale <iealers.

Two weeks ago I spent a very profitable two days at the University Farir at bavis, disctissing and checking over with H. B. Walker, Head of the Division, and others in the Division of Agricultural Engineering, a number of farm building specifications, blue prints, bulletins, circulars, etc., (both of University origin ,and otherwise) analyzing requirements and construction details, with a view to getting out new Bulletins for our Agricultural Series. At last !
I made a suggestion at Davis, which met with very favorable reception, and in fact hearty endorsement-one on which I would like to have your frank opinion and sug- gestions. For sometime I have held the idea that it would be an excellent thing to arrange for a farm building conference for retail lumber dealers having farm trJde-a conference for all, if possible, preferably a1 the University Farm at Davis, or if this cannot be worked out. a series of district conferences with the difierent Lumbermen's Clubs. This should be a cooperative meeting under the auspices of the California Retail Lumbermen's-Association and the College of Agriculture.
Prof. Walker, formerly Head of the Department of Agri- cultural Engineering, Kansas State Agricultural Colleg.e, is re.cognized as one of the country's leading Agricultuial Engineers. IIe has had experience in arranging-such conferences, or "Lumber Schools" and could pui on a wonderful. program, arranging for addresses on iarm building requirements and good construction practices by recognized authorities, and for round table discussions that ihould prove invaluable.
My thought is that su,ch a conference should be at least a two-day affaij, and that it perhaps had best be arranged for late in the Fall. What do you think of the idea? I im askigs a few key men like yourself, with the object in mind, if reaction is favorable, of presenting the idea to The California Retail Lumbermen's Association. for further discussion and consideration by their executive committees.
Very truly yours,

-FredThe Bond Lumber Company's yards at lIynes, Cal., have been taken over by A. F. Stangor, former sales manager of the Geib Lumber Company at Compton, Cal. The new concern is known as the Stangor Lumber Company and carries a complete line of lumber, including sash, doors and hardware.
Announcing what they believe to be the most. cornplete line of garden trellises on the market the Chicago Lumber Co. of Washington, has issued an illustrated price list ot {'CHILCO" garden trellises, manufactured at their big plant in Oakland.
In speaking of this line to a representative of this paper, E. A. Horr, sales manager, said that live retail lumber dealers all over the country are recognizing the money making possibilities of lines such as this.
' "The line includes 13 different designs and a combination trellis to completely encase side and top of window openings for any and all windows 48 inches wide to 144 inches wide between side trellises.
"These trelli,ses are made of Clear Heart California Redwood, the'Wood Everlasting,' and are completely finished and stained dark green ready for immediate use. This color, in most cases harmonizes best with outside surroundings. All members are % " thick by I3/L6" wide, thus providing a more sturdy type of construction than is usually found in merchandise of this kind," said Mr. Horr.
Another line which is rapidly finding a place in dealers' display rooms is shown on the back of the price list. This is a "Silent Salesman," containing an assortment of 100 pieces Clear Redwood Flower and Garden Stakes, lxl and from 3 to 6 feet long, furnished either round or square. The "Silent Salesman" occupies only four square feet of floor space. All stakes are stained dark green, ends pointed. tops painted white, and display box is stained same color.
The statement made in a news item in the April 1, issue of this paper that The C. L. Thompson Co., San Francisco and Los Angeles, are Coast distributors of Masonite is incorrect.
The C. L. Thompson Co., whose headquarters are in San Francisco, are distlibutors of Masonite'in Northern Cali- fornia and the Northwestern states. They maintain a branch office in Los Angeles at 324 North Sin Pedro St., but the activities of this office are confined to the sale of Cromar Oak Flooring, for which they are Coast distributors. Fletcher & Frambes, Los Angeles, are the distributors of Masonite in Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and El Paso. Texas.
G. W. Maddux, formerly of the W*.J. Bettingen Lumber Company at Pasadena, has purchased the Athins Lumber- Company at l2lA South Vermont Ave., Los Angeles, and is now operating the yard under the paryre of the G. W. Maddux Lumber Company.
About 150 members of Argonne Lodge, F. & A. M., San Francisco, had the pleasure at a receni meeting of seeing the moving pi.:tures of the Redwood lumber aia loggin! operations of The Pacific Lumber Co. at Scotia.
Jim Farley, who is always in his element when Dreachins the gospel of Redwood, operated the machine arrd enterl tained the -gathering lyith the story illustrated by the film of the production of Redwood from the log to the finished product.
