Men are the Devil-they all bring woe, In winter it's easy to say just "No." Men ar€ the Devil, that's one sure tfiing, But what are you going to do in the spring?

-Mary Caroline Davies.

I dunno. What ARE we going to do? Maybe the following is the proper answer: When the seeding days are over, And all the crops are in, And the stock is munching clover, Then the painting jobs begin.

Flowever, I think the rhymster, in this case, was not a farmer. They tell me that when the seeding days are over and the crops are all in the ground on the farm, is when the farm work gets really started. That's why the midsummer season is never a good one for the rural lumber dealer to sell the farmer. Silas is too busy trying to coax that seed into sometrhing he can harvest and sell.

They say that an "*n*Jrrl,i"r, ,ro- out of town. And likewise, that a superman is just one who hasn't had a good try-o,ut.

It was said of crr"r. s"lr*"b l* when he found a process or a machine that could do better work than the one he was using, he never hesitated to scrap the old one, and install the new. Results were what he wanted, and he knew that results swallowed up costs. X.{<*

Every human achievement is the result of some ideasome thought-some dream. And yet, no idea has ever yet been conceived but a better one has soon come to take its place. The progress of the world, the advance of civilization, is the history of successions of ideas. ***

Each of the great inventions of the past century-a century of miracles-is the result, not of one man's genius, but was brought about through the efrorts and energies of those who followed up some basic idea with a newer and better one.

*tf*

Sir Charles Wheatstone, patented the first telegraph in-

strument, a crude affair, with, however, the underlying principles in operation. But Samuel Morse conceived the idea of transrnitting messages over wire by means of an electric current, and he made its first commercial application. This was followed. by the laying of the Atlantic Cable, which was simply a farther step along with the same idea and principle.

The establishment and final perfection of the telephone was not the work of one man's brain. Each step was brought about by the conception of a new and better idea supplanting and superseding the previous one. The thought of creating sound by at electric current was born in the mind of Alexander Graham Bell. His first idea was the 'invention of a musical telegraph. For years he studied and worked along this line. And then the idea of conveying sounds, words, was born in his imagination. It resulted in the first telephone device. But perfection came only with a succession of new ideas conceived by himself and his associates.

*rNt*

Transmitting messages through ether was an idea which brought the wireless, perfected by Marconi. It was found' ed upon theories which the brains of others had conceived. The idea that created the gas balloon was succeeded by the thought which resulted in the dirigible' followed by the invention of the airplane. The first principle was worked out more than a century ago by Cayley, an Englishman. It was improved upon by Langley. It was made practicable by the Wright Brothers in 1903, and since then there has been continual improvement through new brains and new ideas. ***

As early as 170O experiments in the development of steam propelled conveyances were made. The steam engine was the idea of James Watt, conceived at the close of the 18th century, but founded and fashioned upon the ideas of the past. And so on down the line. The radio, the motor car, the motion pictures, the petroleum industry, all furnish newer and even more amazing proof of the development of some great basic idea, by the application of the mentalities of men who came after.

bined have had as great an effect on our modern civilization as the telegraph, the telephone, and the steam engine, were: the creation of the internal-combustion engine; the discovery of petroleum in great quantities; and the discovery of the gasoline tax. I have spoken of these before, but their importance grows in my mind. We have had oil production in small quantities since the middle of the last century. When the internal-combustion engine came along we couldn't use a great many of them because of lack of motor fuel. In 1901 the Spindletop Oil Field came in at Beaumont, Texas, and since that time we have had gasoline galore. Naturally the motor car industry sprang into tremendous life. But in a fewlears it had to slow down' We had plenty of engines to burn gasoline, and plenty of gasoline, but we had neither roads nor bridges, nor the countless wealth required to build them. Then, in 1919' the State of Oregon discovered the gasoline tax, which in twenty years has criss-crossed the continent-and other continents-with highways, and built the millions of necessary bridges and crossings, making possible the mighty motor car and petroleum industry of today. And every year both these industries are improved and developed by new research and new brains and new efforts' Truly, the world do move. ***

The idea of building, and developing, and perfecting better HOMES for mankind, has permeated the mentality of the race ever since time began. Better homes for man and his family; better housing for his possessions; more safe, comfortable, sanitary, convenient, luxurious, and generally satisfactory places of SHELTER is the big idea that men in every generation have worked on since John Stonehatchet hollowed out his first cave, and dragged his first wom:m into it by the hair. The result is evidenced in every town and city and hamlet of the land. Perfection has not been reached. There is plenty of opportunity yet for inventive mankind to fashion new thoughts and things to go with the making of human shelter. The work goes on. Every generation sees our people better housed than the generation that preceded. And there will continually arise new men to continue the good work.

The lumber conventionl";"Jis now over. rn all parts of the country mel in the same line of business have met, discussed their mutual problems, renewed their friendships, and gone home with a better feeling in their hearts because of the meetings. Someone has said that in England a convention does nothing but "meet, eat, belch, and adjourn." It's different in this country. Conventions are practical and useful outpourings of an industry's cooperative ideas. Lumber associations have done untold good to the lumber

industry. It is only through association work and activities that the things vital to the industry as a whole can be handled, and every man share in a common cause'

The lumber association is the sole means by which the lumber industry can become active in its own defense in time of need. It is the sole means by which uniformity of methods, rates, rulesr grades, purposes' etc., vital to every industry, can be arrived at. It is the sole means through which the best thought of the industry can be put into practice. It is the sole means through which wTong practices can be eliminated. It is the sole means by which the Government, in time of stress, can call upon the industry' Without lumber associations there would be no lumber industry. The spirit of cooperation is the redeeming spirit of the age. "God helps those who help each other" is the fundamental of association work.

Every young man reaches a point in his career where he has to choose one of two courses. If he chooses to be clever, he will meet with a great deal of competition. If he chooses to be just plain, old-fashioned, and honest, and work like a demon, he will be so unique that he will make an immediate success.

And yet you can't hand out the same advice to youthful hustlers trying to get somewhere in the world that you used to. For instance I have used this advice frequently years ago in writing for the attention of ambitious employes: "Do you remember Christ's injunction to the Jew? 'If a man compel thee to go one mile, go TWO'! Show me the employe who comes to work early, loves to work, and is not afraid to stay a little longer on the job in the evening, and I will show you an employe who has the spirit of the second mile; an employe who is certain to get ahead"' Not today. We don't have that sort any more. For one thing, the wage and hour law wouldn't permit it. And if the employer permitted it, he would have to pay time and a half to that voluntarily ambitious employe. No friends, for the time being at least, lagniappe has gone from business. Burning the. midnight oil and doing the extra turn, as did men like Abraham Lincoln, is no longer the order of the day. And, until it comes back, things will be as they are today. Don't doubt it. Some day Ambition will return from her long vacation, and then men will begin again to think, to strive, to hustle, to create, to do more than just the measure of the law. The treadmill of men and money that has dulled the last few years, will give way to the old American race for supremacy in every way and in every fashion. Then our millions of unemployed men and our billions of unemployed dollars will take down the too-general sign: "Work Wanted."

\(/ransled Politics

Political stories are heard in growing numbers these days.

Here is one that is getting plenty of circulation. Smith and Jones were talking politics on the street corner, and finally they got around to the Presidential situation.

"Who do you think will be our next President?" asked Smith.

SANTA CRVZ LUMBER CO. BUYS TV\/OOD BROTHERS YARD

The entire business of Wood Brothers Company at Santa Cruz has been purchased by the Santa Cruz Lumber Company. The plant will be operated under the name of the East Side Lumber Yard. George Wood, manager, will continue with the new owners.

Wood Brothers was established in 1879 in South Dakota by J. C. and G. A. Wood, father and uncle,. respectively, of George Wood. The partnership started in business in Santa Cruz in 1906, and in 1908 was merged with the East Side Mill & Lumber Company. Geo,rge Wood was put in charge in 1914, and in 1918, the firm took the old name of Wood Brothers.

The East Side Lumber Yard will continue at the same address, 332 Soquel Avenue.

MT. WHITNEY LUMBER CO. STARTS

Mt. Whitney Lumber Company started operating its mill at Johnsondale, Calif., April 17, after being shut down for the winter. A new resaw has been added and ,production will be increased in 1939.

"Wellr" said Jones, "I've been thinking over the candidates the papers talk about, and it looks to me like this New York fellow, Dewey, has got the best chance."

"You don't mean it?" said Smith.

"I sure do," said Jones.

"But," protested Smith, "do you consider him qualified?"

"Qualified!" replied Jones. "How can you doubt it? Look what he did at the Battle of Manila !"

TWO NE\,iI BOOKS BY PORTLAND CEMENT ASSN.

A forty-page book has been prepared by the Portland Cement Association, 33 West Grand Ave., Chicago, I11., to assist designers in planning and constructing industrial buildings and garages. Details related to the structural layout of factories, installation of electrical circuits, fire resistant requirements, planning for additional stories and extensions, are discussed and fully illustrated by photographs and diagrams. Layout of parking units, framing plans, ramps, and other special problems of commercial garage design are also presented.

Also a new 24-page illustrated book showing photographs of stores and factories, churches and schools, apartme.nts and housing projects in all parts of the country which illustrate the adaptability of concrete masonry in a wide variety of building types.

LOS ANGELES VISITOR

Ed Culnan, Western Lumber Company, San Diego, was a recent Los Angeles visitor when he called on the wholesale lumber trade.

Above is an exterior view of the handsome office building and store of the Willard Lumber & Supply Company at n H Street, Fresno. The building is in the California style with tile roof and stucco walls.

The yard has a frontage of 225 feet on H Street, and the big Willard sign catches the eye of those approaching on this street which is one of the main traffrc arteries.

The interior of the store and office is finished entirely in Knotty Pine in various widths of V-Rustic. The wood has been treated with Pabco Wood Toner, which makes a beatttiful job and does not darken it in any degree.

A full line of Pabco paints is stocked. These are well displayed on shelves and in floor piles.

The store has a complete stock of builders' hardrvare. Garden tools are also featured.

9lrrttn, tlui^Uing,

Both USG and Pabco roofing is carried in stock, also USG and Pabco wall boards and insulation.

This yard handles full stocks of lumber and specializes in the Huntington Brand, Red Cedar Shingles.

The owners of Willard Lumber & Supply Company are E. E. (Ed) Schlotthaeur and Wilbur M. (Dick) Wilson.

William Clancy Celebrates 80th Birthday

William Clancy, president of the Lumbermen's Credit Association Inc., Chicago, Ill., celebrated his eightieth birthday on April 5. He "celebrated" by coming down to the office at the regular time, just as he has been in the habit of doing, with few exceptions, for more than sixty years.

However, the eighty employees of the Chicago office were not content to see such a memorable event pass without recognition. One of the young ladies entered his office with :r cheerful "H"ppy Birthday, Mr. Clancy." Following her was the office boy with a huge basket filled with eighty large red roses and one yellow one "to grow on." He soon found himself surrounded by the entire office force who broke out in the old familiar "Happy Birthday" song. After receiving Mr. Clancy's expression of hearty thanks and appreciation, the "help" brought forth another song for good measure, a parody which he 'enjoyed very much.

Mr. Clancy received many gifts and messages of congrattrlations during the day, including one from his son, Will C. Clancy, general manager of the agency, who, with his wife and family, was sojourning in Florida.

House Plans Distributed to Dealers

Washington, March 31.-With more than 1,500 house plans sold to dealers during the first 60 days of the 1939 campaign, the National Small Homes Demonstration is keeping well ahead of last year's figure in number of plans sold throughout the United States.

I-eading all other demonstration homes in popularity are Houses 2-A and 2-F, both of which are two bedroom, onestory homes. Among the two-story houses, 1-A and l-E are causing unusual interest, with 1-B creating a heavy demand in request for plans. The choice of these homes is due in no small measure to their charming simplicity of design and well arranged room layout.

The new Small Homes Manual is also receiving nationwide distribution, approximately 10,000 copies having been sent dealers in the 48 states. This manual, which illustrates each of the 1939 low-cost denionstration homes. outlines the story behind the National Small tr{omes Demonstration and contains practical ideas for home building such as financing arrangements and interior planning.

Heading all states in requests for the plans and manuals with the total number distributed in these states are: Illinois, 178; Ohio, 176; Iowa, 166; Wisconsin, 166, and Minnesota, 163.

Roy A. Fobes

Roy A. Fobes, manager of the Los Angeles branch of the Pacific Mutual Door Company, a national organization with headquarters in Tacoma, Wash., is one of the most highly respected and best known men in the lumber and allied products business in Southern California.

Born in Nelson, Ohio, of Down-East Yankee stock, he got his early schooling in that state and attended Oberlin College at Oberli,n, O., where he played football. He went South to work for the Gulf Refining Company, and was at Saratoga Springs, Texas, for some time with that concern.

Believe-it-or-not his first connection with the lumber business was as a manufacturer, when he and a partner took over a small mill at Batson Prairie, Texas, in 1904 and for a couple of years manufactured Southern Pine derrick lumber and other stock used in the oil fields. He sold out and went to work late in 1905 for the Industrial Lumber Company at Oakdale, La., and was there until 1908.

He came to California in 1909 and for the first two years worked on the waterfront for the Hammond Lumber Com-

pany. Following this he was wholesale salesman for five years out of Hammond's Los Angeles office. For two years he sold Redwood for Little River Redwood Company and Navarro Lumber Company. In 1919 he went with Sudden & Christenson and for about nine years was in charge of their Los Angeles office. For several years he operated as a commission salesman, and in 1935 was put in charge of the Pacific Mutual Door Company's Southern California warehouse and sales office.

Mr. Fobes is very enthusiastic about the plywood business and sees a great future for this material, for which new uses are constantly being found.

IIe was married in Akron. O.. in lX)7 and he and Mrs. Fobes have made their home in Hollywood for the past 28 years. They have a son and daughter. Their son, "Bud" is in the oil business in Taft, Calif., and their daughter is the wife of Glen Bessinette, who is associated with Mr. Fobes in the Los Angeles warehouse.

Golf is his only hobby and he looks forward to the day when he will be able to devote more time to improving his game.

Andrew C. Nelson Retires

San Francisco, April l&-Chief Ihspector Andrew C. Nelson, seventy-five-year-old veteran of the Redwood lumber industry, will retire this week, according to announcement made today by the California Redwood Association.

Mr. Nelson has been chief inspector of the Association for the last eight years and actively connected with the Redwood industry for more than 56 years. He started his Redwood experience with ox-team logging and work in mills when the usual work day was from six in the morning until six at night, with a half hour for lunch.

In addition to his long experience in manufacturing and gradin$ Redwood, he possessed an unusual knowledge of the species with which he has spent his entire mature life, which made his judgment in grading lumber an unusual asset to the Redwood mills. Although he had passed his seventy-fifth birthday, his physical activity up to the time of a serious accident last October would have tested the stamina of many men half his age. He is remaining with the Association in a consulting capacity.

Mr. Nelson will be succeeded as chief inspector by George W. Nelson who has likewise had life long experience in Redvyood production and grading. He has been an inspector since 1932 and has been serving as acting chief inspector since Andrew C. Nelson's accident last winter.

Announces New Insulating Brick Sidlng

Minneapolis, Min.nesota, March 25.-A new Insulating brick siding for modernizing the outside walls of all types of frame buildings has been announced by The Insulite Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Insulite Graylite Board forms the base material of Briklite and is completely enveloped with a coat of high melt point asphalt. Mineral granules are applied to the surface which is then embossed, giving the finished product a remarkably close resemblance to clay brick products. Available in two colors, red and bufi, with all edges shiplapped, four design styles are manufactured, making possible the application of conventional brick patterns. To conceal joints between units a corrugation appears on the surface edge of the siding.

Further information may be obtained by writing to The Insulite Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

THE CHANCE HE MISSED

Mark Twain is reported to have lost a fortune investing in worthless schemes of various sorts. He had one great chance, and missed it. In after years he told the story of the tall, spare man, with kindly blue eyes and eager face, who called on him, carrying a strange-looking implement under his arm. Yes, it was an invention, and the tall man explained it to the humorist, who listened courteousln and then told him no, he had been burned too often, and did not care to try again.

"But I'm not asking you to invest a fortune," said the man. "You can have as large a share as you wish for five hundred dollars."

But Mark Twain was firm this time. He refused, but as the tall man sadly left, the humorist asked his name. In after years he remembered the reply well.

"My name is Bell" he said. "Alexander Graham Bell."

And that funny-looking thing under his arm was the first telephone.

NO AMATEURS WANTED

"That farm boy tried to kiss me," said the firit City Girl to the second City Girl, with whom she was vacationing in the country, "and he said he had never kissed a girl before."

"And what," asked the second City Gid, "did you do?"

"f told him nothing doing" said the first. "I'm no agricultural experiment station, you know."

SWIMMING AT NIGHT

By Oriana AtHnson

We went down through the summer, to the sea, Slipped from our robes and to the ebbing tide Completely gave ourselves; so hushed were we So filled with some strange glamour, that beside

The wash of heavy ripples on the beach

There was no sound. We bent and touched our lips

Against the moon, now well within our reach, And trailed her glory with our fingertips.

The silence cradled us; we were caressed

By wine-warm waves, and by the cooler air

That licked white brow and scarcely. breathing breast; The nibbling seaweed caught our floating hair, And seemed to urge us gently, gently down. How lovely, had we only dared to drown !

KNOW YOURSELF

Within us all there are wells of thought and dynamos of energ:f that are not suspected until emergencies arise. Then oftentimes we find that it is comparatively simple to double or treble our former capatities and to amaze ourselves by the results achieved. Quotas, when set up for us by others, are challenges which goad us on to surpass ourselves. The outstanding leaders of every age are those who set up their own quotas, and constantly exceed them.-Thomas J. Watson.

FINDING HAPPINESS

By Vash Young

For me, happiness came from prayer to a kindly God, faith in a kindly God, love for my fellow man, and doing the very best I could every day of my life. I had looked for happiness in fast living, but it was not there. I tried to find it in money, but it was not there, either. But when I placed myself in tune with what I believed to be fundarnental truths of life, when I began to develop my limited ability, to rid my mind of all kinds of tangled thoughts and fiU it with zeal, and courage, and love, when I gave myself a chance by treating myself decently and sensibly, I began to feel the stimulating, warm glow of happiness, and life for me began to fow like a stream between smooth banks.

USG Announces Highly Selective Line Of New Insulating \(/ool Products

Chicago-Announcement of a completely revised, fully perfected and highly selective line of new insulating wool products has just been released by the United States Gypsum Company.

Embracing advanced and distinctive features of outstanding importance, this new line, it is stated, represents a long step ahead in research, manufacture and beneficial results to both builder and user.

It is reported also to answer practically all the leading questions and problems which have naturally arisen in a market which has grown so swiftly and so widely in so short a time.

These questions have been set up as a perfect yardstick against which to measure the 11 ideal points which, it is claimed, all insulation should have and which the new USG Red Top line now possesses.

The "11 ideal points" are heat resistance; range of conductivity; assured effectiveness; durability; light weight; I,ow heat capacity; resistance to condensation ; ease of installation; resistance to fire; care of health; and range of costs.

How well the company has met these requirements can be realized through a quick description of certain noteworthy developments.

The mat of Fiberglas, long known for its effective insulating and light-weight qualities, is now blanketed by an effective vapor barrier on the warm side, and a porous breather paper or "envelope" on the cold side, which, together with an automatic air-spacing flange, provide a new and better condensation control.

This new "blanket" form of wool is made available in both ro11 and batt types; and in three different thicknesses-inch, medium and full thickness-providing a wide range of type and cost for any particular job under any conditions.

The long, strong, enduring fibers of Fiberglas are bound together with a special binder which combines a character of rigidity with a lively spring action. It permits the mat to slrring back when compressed, thus enabling it to hold its place snugly between studs by its own inherent action. It also allows for easy tailoring and quick application. "Bound to Stay Put" is an apt descriptive phrase.

These remarkable new features, together with other basic advancements, combine to meet the yardstick of ideal insulation, that should be welcomed by both the trade and consumer.

Dealers will be able to meet all requirements, the company states, with one standard, self-contained unit insulation with a known rating, produced with undeviating precision and thoroughly proved by the most painstaking laboratory tests.

The company further announces that dealers are now being stocked with this new product and should be ready to supply all demands.

Miniature Model-Home Contest

Seattle, Wash., March 30.-An important feature of the Pacific Northwest Annual Building Show which opened in Seattle on March 25, was a miniature model-home contest. Over 10O entries in the contest indicated the model builders' ideas of what constituted the home desirable.

home-such as scalloped valances, gable ends, and flush doors.

Few extreme ideas were noted among the miniature models, although one was co.nstructed along a stream-lined auto trailer design. Most of them were very modern in appearance, and employed wood as the exterior covering. The lack of emphasis on the ultra-ultra would indicate a feeling on the part of the entrants that too radical a departure would not meet the favor of the judges and public.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was an interested spectator at the Exposition, and showed keen interest in the model houses.

The Home Show has been showing to record crowds from the day of its opening. It was the first time Pacific Northwest Building Material dealers had been apprised of the extensive local interest in building and modernizing at the present time.

Farley, assistant sales manager of The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, the blocks hold up beyond all expectation and it is believed that they will triple the life of the Boardwalk. Redwood blocks on end possess considerable compression strength and will rvithstand the abrasions from foot and vehicle traffic admirably. Installations of blocks in this manner on bridges have given 25 to 30 years of satisfactory service.

Accompanying is a photograph showing the method used in laying the sample installation. This was accomplished by laying a sub-floor of rpieces 2x6 inches, and wider, between the girders and fastening the blocks to the sub-floor rvith mastics and asphalts of various brands. Time studies rvill be made of the perfor'mances of each to determine rvhich is the most durable and satisfactory for this particu'lar type of construction.. The installation was made in front of the Traymore Hotel, just off Illinois St., where there is a maximum amount of traffic.

Forecasts Continued Good Business

Following national sales conferences, with meetings in Savannah, Washington, New York City, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and San Francisco, executives of Certain-teed Products Corporation report a steady upswing in activity.

Voicing this optimism, Edwin G. Roos, vice-president in charge of sales, said, "As a result of our nation-wide sales conferences, d u r i n g which we had first hand con-

Edwin G. Roos tacts with hundreds of our salesmen who work with and know dealers, builders, realtors and home owners, I am fully convinced that the already noticeable improvement in the building business will not o.nly continue but will consistently increase. I believe the second quarter of 1939 will exceed the same 'period of 1938 by atleast 25/o.

"So far, we feel that conditions have more than justified having expanded our promotional efforts at the beginning of the year. Now our faith in the immediate and longpull future is being demonstrated in a broad-scope advertising and merchandising program covering'our three major product divisions, roofing, gypsum rproducts and wallboards.

"This program includes a well rounded program of sales literature, displays and dealer helps, all of which are keyed to a foundation campaign of advertising in national magazines and business publications. While we use a long list of publications we consider the trade papers the backbone of our advertising effort, not only in their function of informing the trade of new product developments but also in their positive effect in bringing about distribution of these products."

Besides Mr. Roos, the executive offices of Certain-teed Products Corporation were represented at the sales conferences by C. L. Von Egloffstein, new head of the corporation who assumed thg ,presidency in November, 1938, and by W. C. Hendricks, sales promotion manager, who presented plans for increased promotion and reviewed what has already been done under the accelerated 1939 program.

Low Cost...HOMES

Progressive retail lumbermen the country over are climbing aboard the bandwagon of the 1939 National Small Homes Demonstration.

Sponsored jointly by the National Retail Lu,mber Dealers Association and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, it is fast becoming a positive factor in this year's business turnover for local lumber and building supply dealers.

Cumulative tabulations compiled at Washington, D. C., headquarters indicate that almost 4,00O retail lumbermen or related business men had been furnished, at their own request, with small homes material,'plans or rmanuals prepared as part of the ammu,nition of the program, as of April 15.

In addition, to this number, approximately 2,W sets of plans and specifications-all ready for contractors to start

work-had been sent. Sponsors of the program and officials of the National Small Homes Demonstration point out that when the stage of obtaining plans is reached the ultimate objectives of the program-to step up home building cluring this opportune period-are being achieved.

Lumbermen may, without cost, avail themselves of the manuals and other descriptive material necessary to conducting campaigns within their own communities.

Promotional phases of the program from a national viervpoint have been humming along at a gratifying tempo. As West Coast lumbermen well know, the home built of \Arestern Pine by Western l{omes Foundation at the Golden Gate Exposition has been a distinct success and has undoubtedly resulted in convincing many, many thousands of Treasure Island visitors of the outstanding opportunity

Nursery Rhymes For Dealers

By Jack Dionne

Sing o song of sixpence

A dealer lull of "pep," Built o first-closs building store, And got himsell q "rep." Built it with a Service Room

First the town e'er hod, Got o lot of plan books

Wrote him out crn od. When the store wos opened Folks all ccrlled on him, Gcrve him lots of business, Stcnted with a vim.

Looked into his plcrr books, Nifty pictures filled, Wqsn't that c dcrrdy stunt, Moke the people build?

Showed 'em how to lix their homes, He wqs expert ot, Followed closely his cdvice

On this plon, or thot. So the town kept growing

Doubled.up crnd more, Fcster thcnr the town grew, Grew the Building Store.

Here's the morcrl ol it

We hcrve often sqid, If you'll give folks service; You will get ohecd.

WHEN YOU SELL

Booth-Kelly Douglaa Fir, thc Aeeociation gradc and trade mark ccrtify to your cugtomers thc' quality of the stock you handle. Builders quit gueesing about what they're buying, and buy where thcy know what they're getting.

European Softwood Market Shows Firmnesg

Washington, April l9.-Dispatches from the Comite International du Bois, Brussels, i.ndicate that the European market for European softwood has recorded a firmer tendency despite an increase in selling price.

Characteristic of the situation was the success met by the second offer for 1939 delivery issued by Russia, although the price asked was $1.18 per thousand feet higher than that of the first list. The forward quantities offered by the Soviet in the Dutch and French ,:markets were disposed of without any difficulty.

This same activity applied to Scandinavian and Polish shippers who have sold important quantities of softwood. At the beginning of March, the Swedish, Finnish and Russian shippers had placed 4A/p of. their 1939 export quotas and Poland had placed, 50/o. Great Britain had already placed orders for 1939 delivery for two-thirds as much European softwood as it took last year. The Netherlands contracted for more than 5A/o of the import requirements expected for the full year; France and Belgium placed orders for much more softwood than at this time last year and Germany has rplaced important contracts with Finland and is negotiating with Central European suppliers.

Other European sources estimate that, by April 1st, forward orders had been placed for one-half of this year's export production of European softwood. That is set by export quotas at about 25/o less than 1937.

Nu-\7ood Sta-L:te Offerr Hish Light Reflection

An unusually high light reflection factor of better than 70/o is claimed for Nu-Wood Sta-Lite, a new insulating interior finish product announced by the Wood Conversion Company. This new surface treatment is the result of a special coating recently developed which incorporates the use of new principles in surfacing materials.

The company reports an interesting feature in that this extremely light surface actually turns lighter with exposure. Tests on samples exposed to sunlight and Fadometer show that the surface after exposure is enough lighter to be seen by the eye. Tests made in a standard Fadometer show that exposure, the equivalent of two years, results in a definitc increase in whiteness.

Nu-Wood Sta-Lite is available in Tile, Plank and Board. The product maintains the distinctive texture of Nu-Wood' It ofiers a considerable amount of sound absorption and insulating value. Both in texture and color, Sta-Lite is designed to harmonize with Tan and Variegated Nu-Wood.

A special new type tongue and groove joint is furnished on Sta-Lite Tile and Plank. This joint has a slightly shallower bevel which gives the board an improved appearance in design. The tongue and groove joint offers greater support in construction to adjacent pieces-plus practically fool-proof application. Leakage of air through the joint is practically eliminated and slight movement is not noticeable on the finished iob.

Nu-\\rood Sta-Lite can be easily cleaned with a sponge or cloth. In extreme cases, a wall paper cleaner or damp cloth may be used. If another color is desired the surface acts as the priming coat. This, together with the mat texture, offers a surface which is easily covered with paint without showing brush marks.

L3ecause of the special joint treatment, Nu-Wood Sta-Lite Tile and Plank are not inter-changeable with Tan, Variegated and Ivory Nu-Wood Tile and Plank. For two tone effects, Ivory Nu-Wood, which will still be available, should be used. For further information and samples of this Nu-Wood StaLite write the Wood Conversion Company, Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Low Cost Homes

(Continued from Page 26) afiorded individual small homes buyers and investors at the present.

On the East Coast, the National Small llomes Demonstration is building a h.ome based on one of its basic designs in the "Town of Tomorrow" at the World's Fair, New York, and many, many thousands will eventually see this exhibit, carrying the word of small home potentialities back to their respective communities.

In many towns and cities lumbermen are sponsoring exhibit homes built from one of the many variations of the two basic designs of National Small Homes Demonstration. A much greater utilization of this phase of the program is looked for, with its manifest possibilities for stimulation of home building.

With the active sponsorship of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, the 1939 ;National Small Homes Demonstration got under full steam in January. Newspapers and other sections of the press have carried innumerable articles sent out to acquaint the public with its purposes and objectives. National magazines and trade journals have carried many columns of space anent the program. The public seems to be reaching a status of greater small home consciousness than in a number of years.

Summed up, it appears that the prog'ram will result in huge stimulation of home building. But, those in close touch with the national aspect of the progriun point out, it means that lumbermen and all whose interests tie in with the final results, must keep hammering away to keep the ball rolling.
