.Peter McNevin is gone, and my heart is sad. A lovable, honorable, useful gentleman. A generous, kindly, courageous soul. A lumberman of force and vision. The type of man tfie lumber industry sorely needs-and has few of. His passing is a blow to the Redwood industry particularly, and to the l,umber business generally. The world produces few Peter M*cNevins.
Saw an advertisement the other day, in one of the big consumer magazines, that I got a bang out of. The illustration showed a s4lesman trying to sell a npw idea to a business man. But a shadow stands at the business man's shoulder, Habit, and Habit whispered continually into the business man's ear: "Don't listen! Out of date methods are good enough." To one who has watched the lumber industry for a lifetime, and watched the world move on and leave it behind, that picture was impressive.
For Habit has been continually out-talking Progress to the lumber industry fron time immemorial. The song of the industry, thirty ye:rrs ago-and today-was and is: "\ilfood is good, and lumber is cheap; wood is good, and lumben is cheap; wood is good and lumber is cheap;" ad infinitum. And the world has grown weary of something totally uninteresting and *unapp*ealing.
And even today, faced by a situation whose apparent seriousness has no counterpart in recent history, lumber voices on all sides cry out the questiotr, "What shall we do to be saved?" and back still comes that sonprous dirgethe song of the industry-"Wood is good, and lumber is cheap-wood is good "tU*ttTOT is cheap."
I lsrow that when the last dread trumpet blows, and men are lined up to give their final accounting, when that vital question shall be asked-"What have you done tfiat you should' be savqd?"-that the voice of the lumber industry will answer back, loud and clear: "Wood is good, and lumber is cheap; wood is good and lumber is cheap; wood is good, and lumber is cheap.' *
Changing the subject. A man was praising one of the biggest financiers and one of the busiest big men in Amer. ica, and said this conce'rning him: "When you enter his office you find yourself in the presence of one who is no slave of Time. His attitude is that of a man of leisure. It is easy to pour out one's thoughts to him because he is such a receptive listener. He sends men out carrying with them a feeling of elation." Compare him with some of the two-by-threes you've called on, whose guardian of the gate made you give your name, age, business, wishes, desires,
hopes, waist measure, hat size, and religious inclinations, before considering your application to talk for exactly two minutes to the prodigy within.

Big men are always approachable. Little men who are trying to act big are the guys that are hard to get at. A. B. Hammond, of San Francisco, the richest, busiest, most successful business man in the entire state of California, is the most approachable man in the state. He stakes out no hedges for the visitor to climb.
Harry T. Kendall, of Kansas City, as intelligent and respected a student of lumber distribution as lives, faced the recent meeting of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association in Chicago, and delivered himself of some very impressive opinions conperning lumber. distribution. The higtrlights of his talk were these conclusions: That the small retailer is the bulwark of all lumber distribution, qnd that his maintenance and protection is vital to the industry; and that the wholesaler should be taken into the confidence of the manufacturer,'and given a harmonjous place in the distributing plan. And he told them why very interestingly. ***
Which bears out the opinion this journal has editorially expressed since its inception. Every one of those thirty thousand small lumber yards in this country is a4 active salesman for the manufacturing industry, and if the manufacturers had spent half as much time helping him sell as they have devoted to far less important nratters, things would be better. And, as Mr. Kendall well says, the wholesaler whose entire stock in trade is lumber and who has to sell lumber to make a living, must be a co{rstructive force. :t:t*
Speaking of lumber prices, here's a good one. A well known commission salesman in the middle west was confe'rring personally with a well known softwood manufacturer, and suggested to him that if he, the manufacturer, would send along his latest price list, this commission man would try to get him some business. The mill man pulled his latest list from his pocket, and haqded it to the commission man, saying: "All right, get busy." The commission man looked over the list of stock and prices, looked out of the corner of his eye at the mill man, and asked: "This is just a sort of guide, isn't it?" **+

in the wisdom contest. If all wood users took that same stand they would destroy the third great industry of the nation, and destroy the automobile business along with it. And I sort of have the feeling right now that the cars that fellow makes aren't quite as good as others of the same price, anyway.
Stylists, who by tt "i, l"piarf "n".ging and developing ideas bring about obsolescence in current models and by so doing develop new business before the old models and styles have even lost the blush of newness, are the boys that create business for the progressive industries. You see it every day in the auto industry particularly. And in the dress and clothing industry. Mathieu Worth, famous desig4er of women's clotheg is quoted as saying: "Like the sun, the new skirt descends toward evening a few added inches multiplied a few million times bigger and better business in textiles." ***

retailers, recently took his son into business with him. The young man immediately put in some hardware, and surprised the father with the sales along that line. Now they are going to put in paint. Sure ! One of the weakest things about the retail lumber business in California is that the dealer does NOT carry enough lines. Every rural lumber dealer should stock and sell paint and hardware. They are doing it everywhere else, and the time has come when the small dealer must sell all the legitimate lines of building materials if he is to prosper. There is good money in paint and hardware, and the lumber dealer is the natural distributor"

One of the surprises The California .Lumber Merchant encountered when it started in California nearly eight years ago, was the lack of interest of the lumber dealer in. paint selling.

The Associated Lumber Mutuals were created and are operated by lumbermen to furnish a more complete specialized protection for the lumber industry and to provide it at lowest cost.
Economical management and consistent reduction of losses, by selection of risks and fire prevention, have effected substantial savings for surplus and dividends. The surplus safeguards against excessive conflagration losses. Dividends, averaging about 407o, assure lowest insurance cost.
Material rate reductions have naturally followed-about 6O/o since 1900-from which the entire lumber industry benefits.
And the primary purpose of all insurance is faithfully fulfilled in prompt payment of losses.
From eaery angle, Lumber Mutual policies offer to the lumberrnan d most profitable intestment in protection-specialized insurance at lowest cost. Write any ol our companies lor full infornration.

E. M. Scofield, president of the Scofield Engineering Co. of Los Angeles, addressed the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club at their regularly monthly luncheon meeting on Thursday, April 24.. Mr. Scofield talked on the waler and power situation in Los Angeles and urged the adoption of the $38,800,000 water boind issue at -the special'election on May 20. He stated that Los Angeles must have more water or face a water shortage, also that the adoption of the water bond issue will not result in an increase in taxes or assessments for the reason that all charges on these bonds, in accordance with the strict proviqion of the new city charter, must and will be paid from earnings of the water system.
Mr. S'cofield said that it will require ten years to bring in water from the Colorado River, and that the water made available through the use of the proposed water bond issue will ,carry the ,city safelv over the ten year period. He stated that the monev is to be used to purchase water lands and water rights -in Owens Valley, Long Valley, Round Valley and the Mono Basin water through tunnels into the Owens River watershed and the Los Angeles Aqueduct system; it will also provide for a large additional storage at Los Angeles and to finish necessary extensions to the rvater distributing system.
President R. S. Osgood presided at the meeting. Carl Shufelt announced that a concatenation will be held at Los Angeles during the month of May and he requested a large class of Kittens for the event. The meeting was well attended.
For the purpose of rendering better servite to the farmers in the territories served by their yards, the Auburn Lumber Co. and associated companies have recently appointed as outside salesmen, B. C. French, with headquarters at Davis, and A. L. Johns, with headquarters at Bowman.
E. T. Robie is president of the Auburn Lumber Co., and the following associated companies: Davis Lumber Co., Davis; Dixon Lumber Co., Dixon; Loomis Lumber Co., Loomis, and Woodland Lumber Co., Woodland. Auburn Lumber Co. also has a branch yard at Colfax.
L. E. Stallings is now Northern California sales representative of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., with headquarters at Sacramento.
The lumber industry will date a turn for the better in its varied history from the action taken by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association in its group of meetings-the best attended and most earnest in manv y€arsheld at Chicago from April 16 to April 26.
Conspicuous amoRg' many forward looking decisions was the acceptance in principle by the Association in its annual meeting of Secretary and Manager Wilson Compton's comprehensive plan for the ordeily ,control of lumber pro- duction and distribution. Presented to the open meeiing on Thursday afternoon, April 24, and endorsed in principle, the plan was discussed Friday, April 25, at a .confirence of the Directors of the National and representatives of the regional manufacturing association and referred for consideration and appli,cation to a committee of five. This committee is to report in from thirty to sixtv days to a special meeting of the Board of Directors to be held in Chicago.
In further promotion of stabilization of the lumber industry is the previous decision to ask President l{oover to appoint a Federal Ttimber Conservation Board, similar to the Oil Conservation Board appointed by President Coolidge, which proposal was to Ue ta;a before the President'on April 30 by a ,committee of the directors.
Not content with determining to wrestle finally with the supply and demand problem the conference directed this committee to consider "other features of primary importance to the lumber industry" and Dresent its conclusions regarding them to the same speciai meeting of the directors. These features will include steps to increase trade extension revenues and extend and intensify all trade extension activities. Another committee was instru,cted to meet at the same time as the committee of five and also report to the directors' special meeting plans for coopera- tion with lumber retailers. It is the object of these two committees not only to adjust lumber supply demand but to reinforce the measures now under wav for the increase of demand.
Other outstanding decisions reached by the directors, trade extension committee and other bodies were:
l. The trade extension committee approved a proposal for more extensive research lnto the properties and utllization of lumber.
2. Curtailment of advertising during 1930 with a view to the inauguration in 1931 of the mosf powerful advertising campaign the industry has ever known.
3. Decision to continue the Central and Consulting Committees on Lumber Standards, after these committees had taken various de,cisions and expressed "satisfaction and gratification with the remarkable progress being made in the manufacture, distribution and specification and use of American Standard Lumber and of grade-marked and trade-marked as well as certified car shipments of lumber."
development of the provisions of the Clarke-McNary act was urged, as well as complete protection of the naiional forests. Progress in foresC conservation and perpetuation was- noted and appreciation was expressed of the forestry rvork of the various organizations of the lumber industry.
6. Appointment of a committee to revise the 7,000 series o{ mouldings in accordance with certain suggestions, after the adoption of whi,ch the industry is urged 1o follow this series exclusivelv.
-_7.. Regional issociations were asked to strengthen the National Lumber Manufacturers Credit Corpoiation by following the action of the Southern Pine AJsociation in establisling a ledger experien,ce exchange system rvith the Credit Corporation.
8. Amendment of the by-laws of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association to confine eligibility for membership in the executive committee of the Asiociation to persons actively engaged in some branch of the sawmill industry. Past presidents of the Association are made members of the executive committee.
9. Provision for seeing to it that the Procurement Department of the Panama Canal Zone has no difficultv in procuring'correctly tallied, grade-marked, trade-maiked association inspected lumber. Names of manufacturers providing such American Standard Lumber are to be suoplied to the chief co-ordinator of the Federal Government. to the Federal Specifications Board, the purchasing officers of the various federal departments and ihe Natioial Committee on Wood Utilization.
10. Indorsement of the idea of the establishment of a code of trade practices; and the Committee on Trade Practices was authorized to proceed with the formulation of such a code, on which mu.ch work has been already done for submission to a general lumber trade conferetc..

/ Harry A. Lake, president of the California Retail Lum- y' bermen's Association, rvas the speaker of the day it the lunchegn meeting of the Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club, which was also attended by a nirmber of the members of the Northern Counties Lumbermen's Club, and was held at the Hotel Senator, Sacramento, April 26.
J. F. Holmes,.Woodland Lumber Co., Woodland, president of the club, presided.
E. T. Robie, Auburn Lumber Co., Auburn, Northern vicepr-gsident of the State Association, gave a brief talk on general conditions.
Mr. Lake, who has attended and addressed 175 meetings of lumbermen since he assumed the presidency of the State Association 16 months ago, told the gatheiing that the giowth in that period in both the local and State associations has been phenomenal, and that the retail lumber industry was in his opinion the best organized industry in the State. He said that the lumber manufacturer had now awakened to the fact that lumber is not really sold until it is actually in the house, and he expected fine cooperation in the future between the manufacturers and the retailers.
Mr. Lake predicted that the next great change in-the merchandising of lumber will be the sale of grade-marked lumber.
The speaker described briefly the new plan under which it is proposed to form a new association in the Los Angeles district, and in speaking of the various plans of organization remarked that he is convinced the only proper basis of organization is education, and that it is no use to try to club a man into doing what is right.
President Holmes announced that the next meeting will be conducted by the California Redwood Association.
C. G. Corkran, Owen-Oregon Lumber Co., Sacramento, was the winner of the door prize.
Northern Counties Lumbermen's Club
President E. T. Robie presided at the breakfast meeting
of the executive committee, held at 8:3O a. m., and at the members' meeting held at lO a. m.
This was the annual meeting of the club, which was postponed from February on account of Mr. Robie's illness.
Reports from the club's ofifrcers were received, Secretary C. D. LeMaster's report showing that the club has now 103 members out of a possible 110.
The following were in attendance.at the luncheon: C. A. Schaad, Jr., and l. B. Hazelton, Hazelton Lumber Co., Orland; W. N. Shifflett, Napa Lumber Co., Napa; A. N. I-ofgren, MacDonald & Harrington, San Francisco; C. G. Corkran, Owen-Oregon Lumber Co., Sacramento; R. E. Tracy, Friend & Terry Ldmber Co., Sacramento; S. Lindroth, Capital Lumber Co., Sacramento; H.

and they have two children. Mr. Dixon is a trustee of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and was presid.ent of that association for two years. He is also trustee of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and has been for many years a director of the N. L. M. A. He is noted for his active and successful work locally, regionally and nationally for the lumber industry. For some years he was a trustee of the University of Oregon and is an active and enthusiastic member of Hoo Hoo and Rotarv.
At the open meeting Thursday morning, April 24, Walter F..Shaw, manager of the Trade Extension Department of the N. L. M. A., made an address in which he reviewed the progress of the trade extension work in a manner that moved the meeting to enthusiastic applause. Mr. Shaw referred repeatedly to the graphic report of trade extension work which was in the hands of his auditors as he spoke, a report that received much commendation. Other speakers were C. Stowell Smith, statistician of the National, who explained the Association marketing servi'ce and Theo. M. Knappen, director of publicity who talked on the functions of publicity and the work and the requirements of the association's publicity department. Harry T. Kendall, ,chairman of the trade practices committee, in presenting his report made a stirring appeal for better co-operation with the lumber distributors. A. C. Dixon,'chairman of the pub- licity committee, reviewed the success of the lumber and lumber products exhibitions at Eugene, Oregon, and recommended that traveling exhibitions be made a part of the future publicity program, when funds permit. Mr. Dixon took the view that the publicity of actual contact with objects is superior to that of the printed page and pictures.
Speaking for Carl Hamilton, chairman of the advertising sub-committee, Paul Kendall explained the necessity of a curtailed program for 1930, because of redu'ced revenues, but with a view to a big splash in 1931.
The attendance at the general meetings, at directors and 'committee meetings was full, and members were more zealous than at any other recent gathering. The business depression is acting as a stimulus to the lumber industry, apparently.
The general impression created by lumber promotion will go with greater the meetings is that speed and effi,ciency than ever.

TI N Japan, the American tourist is I surprised to find the wide use of Port Oiford Cedar.
Singularly enough, theJapanese knew this wood bv its first name while we here in America were still calling it "Mister. " Regular cargoes of Port Orford Cedar were going to Japan vears before this wood was well i.nown throughout the United States.
Japan rates Port Orford Cedar high for interior and exterior building construction, for boats, posts, poles, ties, car decking and siding, iryharf construction, mine timbering and a long list of other important uses.
Port Orford is a white cedar permeated with preservative oils that protect it from acids, soil decays, dampness. It is non-splintering, non-warping; strong, yet light in weight; easily
workable. Evenly grained, it machines easily to sharp, clean-cut edges. Establish your yard as headquarters for Port Orford Cedar. Now available in mixed cars, all grades of clear, shop and common, ind all standard sizes of boards. dimension and timbers. Also Port Orford Cedar plywood in all thicknesses from $ bf an inch and sizes up to 48x96 inches.

,Aindependent investigator recently reported that Sisalkraft dealers almogt invariably emphasize this thought "-when a contractor is once sold, he comes back for more."
That's one of the reasons why more than 10,000 dealers like to handle Siealkraft. They know that repeat orders, with consequent low selling cost, are the natural result of introducing this paper.
The growing appreciation of the fact that Sisalkraft is low in cost -in place in the building-and that a quality building paper is of vital importance on any job also makes dealers enthugiastic in booating thia product.
Besides providing permanent and positive protection from in6ltrating air, moisture, dust and smoke in buildings, Siealkraft hae,a thouaand other uses. The extent of the market ic almoet indefinite.

A. J. Taylor, veteran district sales manager of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, has tendered his resignation, taking effect May 1, to secure a well-earned rest after a career of 51 years with the Weyerhaeuser affiliated mills. For the past 31 years,' Mr. Taylor has maintained headquarters in Cloquet, in the capacity of District'Sales Manager for the lumber and by-products division of The Northwest Pape'r Cornpany-member of the Weyerhaeuser affiliation.
Mr. Taylor, still vigorous and hale, thus interrupts his labors to make his home in St. Paul, near his only daughter and his grandchildren. Ife leaves the Weyerhaeuser organization with the deep respect and affection of all his many associates, who agree he has amply earned the right to retire-from his labors and enjoy relaxation from his arduous duties.
During all these years, Mr. Taylor's services in connection with sales have been of an outstanding character. He first started with the Rock Island Lumber and Manufacturing Company of Rock Island, I11., in 1879, being hired by Frederick Weyerhaeuser, Sr., to assist in the offi'ce of the sales department. He traveled on the road in Iowa for eight years, selling lumber from Rock Island to Omaha.
From 1887 to 1899, young Taylor was in 'charge of the office and sales of the same company, under J. P. Weyerhaeuser, eldest son of Frederick Weyerhaeuser, then manager. In 1899 he rvent to Cloquet, where he served the Northern Lumber Company, and later the Northern and Cloquet lumber companies jointly, in the capacity of sales manager. Finally, after the formation of the sales company. he became district sales manager for the N'orthern and Cloquet lumber companies. Following the merger at Cloquet that resulted in The Northwest Paper Company, he has acted in the same capacity for it.
In l92l and 1922, Mr.. Taylor's great services to the Northern pine industry were recognized by his election to the oresidencv of the Northern Pine Manufacturers' Associati,on. Mr.-Taylor enjoyed a remarkably wide acquaintance among railway officials and lumber buyers throughout the ,country. For years he handled the sale of lumber down the Great Lakes, from Cloquet to Tonawanda, and was also active in the handling of the large industrial business which meant so much to Cloquet. It was in these fields that Mr. Taylor exhibited his greatest genius in behalf of the Weyerhaeuser interests.
Officers and personnel of the Weyerhaeuser Sales Company and its affiliated mills have exhibited their affection and esteem by honoring their retiring associate with a salute and wish for his fullest satisfaction and enioyment of .the years to come.
tTiHE Japanese architect of olden times
I ftnsw how to build for permanence.
To obtain great structural seength he used a framework of massive wooden timbers. Then around them he built his sacred temples to a height of five or six stories.
Earthquakes didn't disturb these wooden masterpieces. Neither did snow, rain, wind, sleet orhail. They still stand...today...a mon. ument to wood's endurance.
And even as these wooden timbers have endured for centuries of exposure, so have Union lubricants successfully withstood thousands of hours of gruelling service in all types of mill machinery. Their successful perfor. mance is assured because they are first scien. tifically proved in the great LJnion Oil labor ratories.
As a distinct service to western lumbermen, the Union Oil Company maintains a staff of lubrication engineers who will visit your mill or camp, without charge, to check with you on any lubrication problem. These scientists are often able to reduce lubrication costs from l07o to 35% yet multiply a plant's efficiency.

One of the most outstanding commercial successes in recent years in any line of business has been made by Pab,co Multi-Service paint in the comparatively short time it has been on the market. A large proportion of the distribution of this paint is through retail lumber dealers.
Some of the reasons given by the manufacfirrers why the dealer should handle this product are as follows: It offers (1) a single paint for every purpose, for use on wood, metal, stone, brick or concrete, and offers only the fastest selling colors, thus doing away with the ,carrying of dozens of colors in each of 17 difrerent kinds of paint. (2) It enables the dealer to limit his paint investment to a few hundrecl dollars, making possible a turnover of stock 10 times where it was formerly turned over only once. (3) It enables the dealer to charge a price one-quarter to onethird less than for other paints, and to give an iron-clad, printed, money back manufacturer's guarantee with every can, whi,ch is a proof of the maker's claim that there is no better paint at any price. (4) It offers an unusually liberal orofit.
R. Hughes, Southern representative of the Built-In-Fixture Co., of Berkeley, Calif., with'headquarters at Dallas, Texas, tells the following story of the creation, of some new business, which illustrates the possibilities that exist for modernizing work.
lle was in Groves Barns Lumber Company's store in Dallas when a lady called up asking them to recommend a painter to give her an estirnate for some painting. Having a hunch that this might be a good lead for a modernizing job Mr. Hughes drove out to the lady's house, gave her some advice on the painting problem, and interested her and her husband in a Peerless kitchen. He turned his estimate on this over to a customer of the yard who specializes in modernizing work, and after three calls on the prospect with this man, they 'closed the job which consisted of a complete Peerless kitchen, including papering and painting; an addition to the sleeping porch; repairs on service porch; new garage doors, and painting the entire outside of the house.
The original paint job would have run about $50.00 for material, whereas the complete job totaled about $700.00, which gave the lumber yard a 33 1/3 per cent profit on about $500.00 worth of material.

IAround the corner f have a friend, In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year is gone, And I never see my old friend's face; For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell And he rang mine. We were younge,r then; And now we are busy, tired menTired with playing a busy game, Tired with trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow", I say, "I will call on Jim, Just to show that I'm thinking of him". But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner, yet miles away"Ffere's a telegram, sir, Jim died today". And that's what we get, and deserve, in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend.
Frederick the Great said to Voltaire, when that great French humanitarian was fighting the great fight against human torture in Europe:
"Your zeal burns against superstition, but do you believe I I that the world will change? More than three-fourths of \ mankind are formed to be the slaves of the absurdest fana\ ticism. The fear of the devil and of hell is fascinating to thetn, and they detest the man who wishes to enlighten thern-"
And, though today we know that there are a million suns as great as ours, and billions of great stars in the firmament, and a mighty Law and Power that controls them and keeps them in harmony, the words of Frederick are just as true as when mankind believed in a small fat earth with corners, a so'lid firmament above, and sun, moon and stars that were just specks in qhe sky. In that particular direction, man progresses slowly-if at all.

Open the windows of your heart; poke the dust and dirt out of its corners; let the sunshine of laughter and good humor into its innermost chambers.

If-a new high school costs as much as five hundred one thousand dollar automobiles, and-
If-it is used by the children of five hundred families for four years, and-
If-it is "as good as new" for the next five hundred families when their children finish the grade school, and-
Remains "as good as new" for sixty consecutive sets of five hundreds families (and it will)-
Then its value to the world is 60 times 500 automobiles; that is, $30,000,000.
And as for the expense of running a high school, it would be less than the cost of running 500 automobiles if the teachers' pay was doubled.
Print that in a hand bill if your city needs a new high school, and see how the moss-backs answer it.-Slices.

Read at the funeral seraices of Peter C. McNeitin h'eld at San Francisco on Ma5t 6, 1930.
The Redwood Industry lost one of its most brilliant and gifted leaders in the death of Peter C. McNe'r'in. California.has lost a real man whose friends are legion. Peter C. McNilvin's character and personality were known wherever lu-mbermen gather, and were such that his acquaintances 'quickly became friends. He controlled the organization, of which he was the head, with the firm ties of love, respect and loyalty. The Golden Rule was the foundation of his policy and his great success evidenced the efficacy of honesty and fair dealing.in the business world. He was an inspiration to his friends and co-workers. None who knew Peter McNevin could resist his appeal. Strong in adversity, unyielding in the face of difficulties, he won the respect of all. With his friends and associates he was kind, gentle and considerate; his loyalty to his friqnds bound them to him and all who knew him join in sympathy with his family at his passing.

A woodworking instructor from New Zealand, a student in the Kobe College of Engineering, Kobe, Japan, a builder from Latvia, a housewife from Peru-these are just a few of the many people in the remote,corners of the world who have answered Shevlin advertising this last year.
preparing for German periodicals a series of articles on the lumber industry in the United States wrote requesting catalogs and information about Shevlin Pine. A lumber grade lecturer in Glamorgan, England, a professor in the Institute of .Forest Engineering, University of. Poznan', Poland, and a Ladies' College in Eastern Canada all requested information about pine.
Copies of the Shevlin booklet, "Specify Shevlin Pine," have been sent to representatives of thirty different occupations in twenty-sii different countries throughout the world. Contractors, builders, engineers, and architects, in Spain, China, Japan, Portugal, Germany, Roumania, Russia, South and Central America, Mexico, Hawaii, and from remote points in Canada have written requesting copies of "Specify Shevlin Pine" in response to the company's advertising.
In order to answer the growing demand of prospective builders everywhere for more information about pine in the home and to furnish its dealers with an authoritative booklet on the uses of pine, the company is issuing a new booklet called, "Pine Homes and Pine Interiors."
The Shevlin, Carpenter & Clarke Companv as a result of lts 1929 advertising has been called upon to furnish information about pine to many widely distributed and diversified places. The Manual T'raining Centre at Napier, New' Zealand, requested samples of Shevlin Pine for its school museum of foreign timbers. An editor in Berlin
Those who have seen the proofs of this new booklet declare it to be a genuine contribution to the literature on pine and its uses. It is an authentic account of the place pine has occupied in American home building'since the Colonial Era down to the present time. The introduction to the book has been written by Joseph Everett Chandler, eminent architect and authority on Early American homes. The booklet will contain exclusive photographs of choice pine rooms both modern and Colonial. Beginning with a photograph of the famous old Fairbanks House built at Dedham, Massachusetts over three centuries ago, there follow photographs of several other equally enduring historic American homes of pine. The use of pine in the American home is traced down to modern times and a great deal of space is devoted to descriptions and photographs of some of the beautiful treatments of pine to be found in present day American homes. These photographs show many rooms finished in knotty pine, pine entrances, hallways, staircases, book nooks, corner cupboards, fireplace treatments, libraries, as well as a number of charm-

Motions to place a 75 cent duty on lumber and a 15 per cent ad valorem duty on shingles were rejected by a large majority rvhen these items again came up for discussion in the House of Representatives Mav 2. This action was^due to the effettive ,coalition of the Democrats and Progressives, who disregarded all arguments of members who sought to protect American lumber and shingle manufacturers.
H. T. Didesch, for the past six years managing director of the Millwork Institute of California with headquarters at Los Angeles, has gone to Oakland where he has taken charge of the local activities of East Bay millwork group. He took over his new duties on May 5. His address will be 213 Francis Blake Building, 926 Broadway, Oakland, California.
Valuable publicity for certain woods was obtained through the display by the Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Company, San Francisco, of Clear Port Orford Cedar airdried boat planking, Clear Vertical Grain Spruce boat stock, and Clear Sugar Pine pattern lumber in the Sea Scouts Industrial Exhibit at the Second Annual Pacific Coast Boat Show, held at the Civic Auditorium, San Fran,cisco, April 23 to 30.
J. C. Ferger and Mrs. Anne Thorne, both of Fresno, were married on April 25. They spent their honeymoon in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Southern California and Old Mexico, returning to Fresno on May 10. Mr. Fergcr is well known to the lumber fraternity of the State and has been connected with the lumber business in Fresno for the past twenty-four vears, where he operates the Swastika Lumber Company.
(Continued from Page 39) ing pine exteriors. There are also photographs of one or two pine paneled offices, a pine paneled room in a new metropolitan hotel, and a specialty shop finished in knotty pine. The increasing use of pine in American homes as evidenced by the wealth of photographs in this booklet is positive proof of its growing popularity.
One feature in the booklet of special interest to dealers is the section which deals with the ample supply of pine and the quality of present day pine. In some quarters there is a general impression among the lumber buying public that the supply of white pine in particular has been exhausted and that the pine now available is not equal in quality to that used years ago.. A section of this new booklet is devoted to dispelling this mistaken impression regarding the quality and supply of pine today.
Lumber dealers and prospective home builders everywhere will find the new'booklet. "Pine Homes and Pine Interiors," invaluable in planning homes or in modernizing old homes. The booklet is being featured in Shevlin advertising commencing with April insertions and is being sent to all inquirers who send one dollar with their request.
Shevlin Advertising This Year Features Homes of Pine
The Shevlin organization has been very active in supporting lumber dealers with national advertising to the consumer and to architects and builders. The advertising campaign for Shevlin Pine now being published is the largest ever put on by this company. This campaign is appearing in seven leading home building magazines in the consumer field and in eighteen publications in the architectural and trade paper fields.
It has an average monthly circulation in the consumer and architectural fields alone of over half a million subscribers. When it is real'ized that each of these publications circulate on an average among a family of five people, some idea of the actual consumer coverage of this campaign may be obtained.
This advertising is appearing in full pages exclusively in color. While it promotes the sale of Shevlin Pine, it is also giving strong support to the general campaign to "build homes of wood."
The company's advertising this year maintains its link with historic Colonial homes through incidental illustrations of these subjects. The main illustrations, however, show actual modern homes of pine. The subjects for these illustrations have been chosen for their appeal to present day people. A kitchen furnished with ample cupboards of Shevlin Pine, an attractive little all pine cottage have already been featured this year, and later advertiiements will show other interesting and charm'ing treatments of pine in the modern American home. One advertisement in particular will show an out-of-date house remodeled in pine at a comparatively reasonable cost.
Even California which has always been supposed to be an unprofitable field for wooden houses in view of the present preference for stucco and adobe construction will receive its boost from Shevlin advertising in one advertisement which features a typical California home built of white pine.
The Shevlin plan of featuring homes instead of lumber in its advertising has been proven to be excellent merchandising. The finished product-the home-is the thing which appeals most to the consumer. He is interested not so mnch in the boards he buys but in the way those boards will look in his home. The lumber dealer who can present the picture of the finished home to his customers when they come to him for building advice and information will find himself better prepared to increasd his lumber sales.
