L. A. Executive's Merchanditing Talk H. \f. Bunker Heads Chas. Nelson Co.

Gets National Circulation

National circulation was given to the address on "Merchandising of Building Materials" delivered by George Ream, of Kerckhofr-Cazner Mill & Lumber Company, Los Angeles, before the annual convention of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, held at San Diego, November 6 to 8, 1935, when ii was reprinted from The California Lumber Merchant of November 15, 1935, by The Upson Company, New York, and used as an insert in the March issue of the "IJpsonizer," house organ of this concern, which circulates to dealers in lumber and building materials all over the United States.

Mr. Upson, head of The lJpson Company, thought so well of the merchandising ideas in this speech that he decided to give them the widest possible circulation among dealers in buitding materials throughout the country. He was particularly impressed with the idea expressed by Mr. Ream regarding the necessity of the dealer carefully investigating the quality, grade, durability and merits of the materials purchased for resale, and of knowing the value of the products he is trying to sell and the purposes for which they should be used.

It is interesting to recall that within a short time after the address was reprinted in The California Lumber Merchant last November Mr. Ream received more than fifty letters from readers of the paper congratulating him on his sound thinking on the subject and expressing their appreciation of the address.

H. W. Bunker, president of the Coos Bay Lumber Co', San Francisco, t\tas elected president of The Charles Nelson Company and the Nelson Steamship Company, April 6. The appointment was confirmed later at a court session and Mr' Bunker was given three months to decide whether the Nelson interests shall continue un{er the reorganization allowed by Section 77-B of the National Bankruptcy laws.

Other oflicers elected were James Tyson, Jr., vice-president; J. F. Pugh, secretary, and Captain A. F. Pillsbury, shipping agent.

Built-ln Fixture Sales Increase

Sales of built-in fixtures through lumber dealers are on the increase, and much greater interest is being shown by architects, contractors and builders in standardized kitchen equipment, according to Ray B. Cox, vice-president and general manager of the Peerless Built-In Fixture Company, Berkeley.

The company furnishes a mat service for dealers to use in advertising in their local paPers, and Mr. Cox says many dealers are using this service.

New items are continually being added to the Peerless line. One of the most recent is the Peerless Lino-Metal Drainboard. The drainboard is covered with linoleum, and the sink is guaranteed not to leak.

A sheet metal department has recently been added by this progressive firm.

Vagabond Editorials

By Jack Dionne

As this is written, the newspaper editors and publishers pf the United States have been meeting for several days in Washington. In defense of free speech and freedom of the press they have fairly taken the shirt off of many men and things in official Washington.

t*ri

First, the American Society of Newspaper Editors met. Their President deeply deplored the fact that our present administration "is less concerned with the freedom of the press than an American government should be." He likewise charged the Black Committee with infringing on the freedom of the press, and also with invading .,the ordinary rights of American citizens, long guaranteed by the Constitution," which, he said, are being .,ignored by the indefensible, dictatorial methods of the committee."

*,f*

A day or so later I read reports of the meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association, in Washing- ton. The publishers endorsed what the editor had said, and added much fire. A report dubbed the Black Committee of the Senate as "the Black Inquisition" and urged all "victims of illegal acts" of the Senate Committee to demand criminal prosecution of "all involved in the odious affair."

"Ifnder the specious pretext of investigating lobbying,', said the report of the publishers, the committee has undertaken "a campaign of persecution and harassment against individuals, organizations, and newspapers" which have been critical of their doings.

I must thank an old n"rd-rn", Southern Democratic newspaper for handing me the finest piece of reading I had seen in a decade. Of course, no mention was made of the thing editorially, but all over its editorial page was printed

IrooRE FIR

the full text of the radio speech made recently by Senator Arthur Vandenberg, of Michigan. I knew there had been such a speech, but I did not hear it and had not read it. He discussed the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and what that document and that judicial body mean to the American citizen. ft was magnificently done, was this defense of the Constitution and the Supreme Court. It restored some of my faith, renewed my hope, re-charged my run-down batteries. That which is in quotation remarks from here to the end of this discussion are from Senator Vandenberg's speech. I wish that every libertyJoving American could familiarize himself with its full text.

*)F,F

"Although the Court has repudiated only 62 of the Z4,3OO public laws since the beginning, each time it happens there is the cry that Congress must be released from this Court's veto. If any such movement ever succeeds it will be a sad day for popular government, and for the perpetuation of American liberties. It wiU simplify our thinking if we realize that when an act of Congress is thus rejected, it is THE CONSTITUTION SPEAKING. That means, in turn, it is THE PEOPLE speaking. The Supreme Court, in such instances, is only the Constitution's VOICE. The judges are not passing their opinion upon the intrinsic merits of the law. Their sole responsibility is to reject the law if it violates the Constitution.

>F**

"The judges are human. Their judgment may err. But somewhere, somehow, sometime in our American system, somebody must speak for the Constitution in this precise fashion, or, manifestly, the Constitution becomes mute and impotent. Better to risk occasional error of interpretation than to risk the loss of ordered liberty. THAT IS OUR

TRADE.MARKED SELECTED FIRM TEXTURED

CHOICE. It is our theory of Government that the Constitution belongs exclusively to THE PEOPLE. They fought for it. They died for it. They wrote its guarantees. Into it they put those inalienable warrants which set American liberty apart and make it the grandest thing on earth. To make certain that the people should never be robbed of its protection the founders provided that none but the people could ever change it. It may be changed but it must NOT be cheated.

**:f

"Now, in order to protect this popular right, the founders realized they had to provide checks and balances. They had to defend the Constitution against nullification and usurpation. So they wisely-as every lesson of the years has proved-separated the executive, legislative, and judicial functions. They set up the legislature to legislate and the executive to execute; then they provided an independent judiciary to require each to respect the rights of the other, and to require BOTH to respect the rights of THE PEOPLE. Thus the Supreme Court became the VOICE OF THE CONSTITUTION, which, remember, is in turn the voice of THE PEOPLE.*

"The founders of America knew exactly what they were doing. They knew that if Congress could decide whether its own acts were constitutional, the entire American system would be fung into transient politics. The Constitu-

tion-and its sacred guarantees-would become whatever each succeeding Congress might choose to make it' It would change with the ebb and fow of each election' The rock whence we are hewn would become the shifting sandpit in which the rights of THE PEOPLE would sink to destruction. The founders discussed it frankly. Patrick Henry, who was the great liberal of his time, said in the constitutional convention : tt*<*

"'I take it as the highest encomium that the acts of the Legislature, if unconstitutional, are liable to be opposed by the judiciary. The judiciary are the sole protection against a tyrannical execution of the laws-'

"John flancock, famous signer of the Declaration of Independence, said: 'Lest the pride of ofEce or the hand of lawless power should rob the people of their Constitution, a proper balance is provided in the judicial department.'

"Hamilton and Madison, collaborating, wrote: 'An elective despotism was not the government we fought for. For this reason the Constitution required that the legislative' executive, and judiciary departments should be separate and distinct. SO THAT NO PERSON SHOULD EXERCISE THE POWERS OF MORE THAN ONE OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME.'

rF ,t< >k

"Hamilton and Madison wrote further: 'Limitations only can be preserved by the courts, whose duty it must be to

declare all acts contrary to the Constitution void. Without this, ALL OUR RIGHTS AND PRMLEGES WOULD AMOUNT TO NOTHING.' ***

"You cherish your right of free speech? What guarantees it to you? The Constitutio.n. Suppose Congress were to abridge or destroy your right of free speech? Where could you go for redress? To the Supreme Court. But suppose the Supreme Court could be eliminated and Congress permitted to decide the constitutionality of its own acts? Would not a Congress which was brazen enough to rob you of free speech be equally brazen in finding excuses to validate its tyranny?

rSrf*

"You believe in freedom of religion. It is a cardinal American right. Where do you get it? From the Constitution. Suppose it is assailed by law-as is the case tonight in many. another land. Where do you go for protection? To the Supreme Court. But suppose Congress decides for itself what is or is not constitutional? Would not a Congress which dared curb your religious freedom dare equally to validate its own act? Would not this be .elective despotism'? ***

"You believe in a free press. It is the well:spring of Democracy. What guarantees its freedom? The Constitution. Who speaks for the Constitution in behalf of this guarantee? The Supreme Court. Would you think it safe or wise to strike down this vigilant sentry? Time and again the Supreme Court has rescued the press from its assailants. Only last week the Court rescued it from a State Legislature which would have put it in chains. No other agency COULD rescue it. ft was the Court, or nothing. Would it be prudent to let Congress decid.e for itself whether it had raped the freedom of the press? Would not any such assailant inevitably insist that his tyranny was orthodox and respectable? Is not that the way with tyrants? ,i**

"So it is right down through the Bill of Rights-your

right of petition-your protection against search and seizure-the sanctity of your home-your right of trial by jury -your right to own private property-your protection against cruel and inhuman punishment-your ballot-your entire American heritage. \VHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT YOU ARE DEPENDING UPON THE CON. STITUTION FOR THESE PRIVILEGES AND YOU ARE RELYING ON THE SUPREME COURT TO MAKE THE CONSTITUTION VOCAL AND EFFEC. TIVE IN YOUR BEHALF.

:f*:k

"Would it be prudent to toss this protection away just because sometimes you dislike the Court's decisions? Most of the time you are so completely in tune that you scarcely realize its functioning at all. Those who dislike its conclusions on the AAA suddenly discover that it is a pretty dependable tribunal when it passes on TVA. This phenomenon has been constant through the years. Those who are inclined most vehemently to complain at one moment usually live to see the day when, at some other moment, they wholeheartedly applaud.

rf,fi*

"So it has always been and will be. The Supreme Court honorably and conscientiously goes its unruffled way and bravely functions under its constitutional responsibility. It does not seek to please an electorate. It woos Do constituency. Its only master is the Constitution, whose only master is the people. It may be popular, or otherwise. It may be right or wrong. But one thing is certain-it is absolutely indispensable to the American system and to the preservation of American liberty. ***

"Carry the inquiry a little farther. Suppose Congress and the executive concluded to perpetuate themselves; to extend their terms; to cancel elections. What is to prevent? The Constitution. How? Through the Supreme Court. Is there any other veto? No. * * * It is no answer to say that such hypothesis is fantastic. * * * Exactly this sort of thing has happened elsewhere. ,F * * No man knows what would happen if we were to let down the

bars-particularly at an hour when the whole world is , restless with new dictatorships. We might revert to type.

rF**

"This layman * * * believes that all these threats to the existing independence of the Supreme Court and its right to call Congress and the executive to account in the name of the Constitution, no matter how nobly meditated, ARE THREATS

TO THE FUNDAMENTAL LIBERTY OF THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.

***

"This conclusion by no means supposes a greater patriotism in the Court than in the Congress. It only recognizes the reality that their functions are separate and difierent. The Court could no more be trusted both to legislate and to judge, than can the Congress. This conclusion by no means supposes a superiority of the judicial to the legislative power. It only supposes that the power of the people is superior to both, and that where the will of the legislature, declared in its statutes, stands in opposition to that of the people declared in the Constitution, THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO RULE. **X(

"Their only reliance at such a moment is an untrammeled Supreme Court. This does not make the Supreme Court the ACTUAL ruler. That is a subtle, self-serving sophistry. It does not put the Court above Congress. IT

TO THE DEALER WHO

tFrf*

The above quotations are from Senator Vandenberg's speech on the Constitution and the Supreme Court. In an hour of this Nation's life when the National Conventions of newspaper editors and publishers protest that free speech, free press, and protection against illegal search and seizure are being violated, these sentiments concerning the rights of the people are indeed tirnely.

John C. McCabe Opens Office in San Francisco

John C. McCabe, who has been associated with the Andrew F. Mahony Co., San Francisco, since 1918, has opened an office at 5O4 Kohl Building, California & Montgomery Streets, San Francisco, where he will carry on a wholesale lumber business. His telephone number is GArfield 4992.

Mr. McCabe began his lumber career with The Pacific Lumber Co. in 1905, and is one of the best known men in the business.

ON NORTHWEST TRIP

T. B. Lawrence, Lawrence-Philips Lumber Co., Los Angeles, is in the Northwest where he is calling on the mills.

Of oll the words in the English longuage used in advertising, "Service" is perhaps the most abused. We do not promise the impossible but the service being given on our orders is helping many dealers to keep their low stocks completely dssorted and permitting them to give their trade the service that makes and keeps satisfied customers.

MERELY PUTS THE CONSTITUTION ABOVE BOTH, AND THAT IS WHERE IT BELONGS, AND WHERE IT IS GOING TO STAY IF THE REPUBLIC SURVIVE!"

Bob Burrls, comedian on the air with Bing Crosby, is getting away in big style by taking a lot of the oldest, best-known darkey stories of the South, changing them from colored to Hill-Billy dialect, revamping them in various fashions, and getting lots of laughs from them. He has recently told a number of the best-loved colored stories of the South done over in that fashion.

For instance, everyone knows the story-I published it many years ago-of the colored cotrple with the big family of children who lived on the bank of the bayou. One day Mandy said to her husband:

Grade-Marlced Lumber Advertising Campaign

Kenneth Smith, secretary of the Lumber & Al.lied Products Institute of Los Angeles, in a bulletin to the members under date of April 17 discusses the grade-marked lumber advertising campaign. On April 1, members representing more than 80 per cent of the volume in the area embraced by the Institute adopted the policy of selling and delivering only grade-marked Douglas fir in the Common grades, No. 4 to Select Structural. inclusive. In the bulletin Secretary Smith says:

"This started last Sunday with ads in the Los Angeles Times and Examiner. In case you did not see either paper, we enclose a copy of the page from the Times on which our ad appeared.

"If you did see the Building Section of these papers, you will know that the Times particularly went out of its way to give our campaign a boost incidental to the campaign they are willing to wage against jerry building returning to the picture in Los Angeles. In addition, they are being not only aided but urged on by the Associated General Contractors.

"The next ad will appear in the Times on Sunday. There will also be another editorial boost for it. For the time being, we are using only the Times and the Examiner on Sunday, but the Committee feels that it would be advisable to push the campaign a little faster in the first stages, and we expect to supplement this with some smaller ads in between with, possibly, also something in the Herald. It is not possible, of course, to spread out too far or all of the ads would be too small to attract attention.

"We have sent letters and a copy of the ad used last Sunday to some 200 leading architects and engineers. We have also written to all of the banks and are in the process of writing further lending institutions as fast as .we can learn their names. In addition to letters, each of the lending institutions will receive a personal call either from a member of our staff or from a representative of.the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

"This whole advertising campaign is based upon just selling two ideas to the buying public: (1) That plenty of good lumber is available and that the right grade for the use intended can be readily ascertained 1 and, (2) that it is not necessary to be an expert lumber grader in order to be sure of getting exactly the grade purchased. The third essential is that the dealers stick one hundred per cent on the program of not selling unmarked lumber so that the unethical contractors will not have an opportunity to gyp the owner and lay the blame on the lumber industry."

"Ann. M.y" Knows Termites--Studios Now Use Treated Lumber

Animals are often more sensitive to the termite pest than human beings, according to A. E. Ferguson, district sales manager at Los Angeles for the American Lumber and Treating Company, of Chicago. At a recent lumber dealer and home-builders meeting in Sierra Madre, California, Mr. Ferguson reporte.d the case of Anna May, elephant star of the movies.

He related that when Mal Koontz, animal trainer for the California Zoological Society, recently brought out a herd of elephants for work in one of the larger movie studios of Flollywood, his Z4-year-old, herd-leader, Anna May, flatly refused to tread upon the floor of sound stage number nine, Anna May's instinct telling her there was something wrong. Studio engineers investigated and found that the underpinning of this floor was badly rotted.

As the story is reported in the Sierra Madre News, Anna May, with her keen senses, had detected something wrong when she first placed the weight of her dainty front foot on the floor, and probably saved the studio from more serious trouble later on.

To avoid such embarrassing situations in the future the engineers decided to use "Wolmanized" lumber made proof

BE PREPARED TO TilAKE DELIVERY

The upswing in building construction means more volume and better profits for lumber merchants carrying adequate stocks. It is important to realize that property owners are now buying carefully, for enduring values. That's why quality Redwood is a preferred lumber today. Win the good will of customers by offering prompt delivery of the better building products, such as Hammond Quality Redwood.
