Some upon to decide which associated industry had made the in your most outstanding achievement in association work during f938.

The rPortland Cement Industry is either very good or very bad in Government eyes, depending on which deparG ment you ask. Right now the Federal Trade Commission has the industry on the carpet charging price fixing. Testimony is being taken. And right in the midst of it Harry Hopkins, Secretary of Commerce and chum of President Roosevelt, pins the brightest kind of a shiny medal on the chest of that same Portland Cement Industry. Harry is Chairman of the Awards Committee of American Trade Association Executives, and that Committee was called

I heard this one the other day, and loved it. "A thinking man," said a thinking man, "is just a BUNDLE OF BORROWINGS from the impressive people who have touched his life." And the bigger the man, the greater the borrowings. The difierence is that big men cheerfully admit their wholesale borrowings, while the small counterfeiters always lay claim to originalitY.

Much war talk now. lt"rr, out of Washington. Yet no one has theatened us. Twenty-two years ago we entered upon a European war. We loaned the Allies eleven billions of dollars, that they never repaid. We spent twentytwo billions of dollars on our own war efforts. We left tens of thousands of our precious boys dead on the bloody fields of France, 'where poppies grow." And other thousands of our boys who fell but did not die, live in torment in our veterans hospitals today. We have eleven million unemployed men in this country, and owe fifty billions of dollaars. And we're deliberately sticking our nose into that European muddle again.

We've gone.into an" "n"** up food" business again. In Louisiana the sugar planters are plowing under 38'5fl) acres of growing sugar cane' two to three feet high' and worth three and on*half million dollars. They must do the plowing to get their benefit payments from the Government. Thousands of men who raise, harvest, refine, and otherwise help make the sugar crop, will miss the work on those many acres. Yet the United States produces far less sugar than it consumes.

rk:F*

I wish I had the facts and figures at my disposal right now that would enable me to intelligently discuss the subject of market values of standing commercial timber in the United States today. I venture the assertion that it would

make a very, very interesting story. It would be filled with surprises; evex shocks. Because some of the figures and facts I have stumbled upon recently have knocked my preconceived ideas of timber values completely cockeyed.

The interest of timber and mill men in every part of the country is naturally considerably centered on Southerrr Yellow Pine, and the amazing development of secondgrowth supply for Southern mills that had expected to long ago be cut out and gone. I believe I told in this column about the Western mill man who asked me this question: "fs it tnre that this Short Leaf Yellow Pine grows so rapidly that the Southern mill men go out after every heavy rain and cut a brand new crop of trees?', I told him that that was an exaggeration; that it really took several months to grow sawlogs of ordinary size, and that stringer logs even took longer. But there WAS a germ of truth in his guestion.

rt:t*

Many interested lumbermen, particularly on the pacific Coast, have asked me about this apparently new crop of Yellow Pine, and what the truth of the matter is. Well, the truth is that when the forests of the South stood tall and thick and looked as though they would last forever, it seemed that human ingenuity concentrated to bring about

their rapid destruction. But when they began to grow thin and the remaining trees were getting easy to count, and the average quality grew lower, a great change began to take place. The mills began to slow up, to make thetr lumber with more care, to try and get something out of eviry log in the matter of quality, to protect the young trees, to stamp out fires where they formerly started them, to use logging equipment and logging practices that served to protect the young trees and give them a chance to gro% in fact to do a hundred wise things that they had nerren thought of in the days when the trees grew in such countless numbers. And so, in recent years, the South has viewerl with utter amazement the speed with which these young Short Leaf Yellow Pine trees grew and re-grew when given a chance. And many, many mills that thought they were through ten years ago, now go right along, and figure on continuing to do so, some for years, others indefinitely. And so it will be in every timbered region, no doubt, as the virgin forests disappear. The South is particularly blessed in having a climate where trees grow rapidly the year around; and in owning a species of commercial trees that lend themselves to very rapid growth.

Many changes came to the manufacture and preparation for market of the timber that came from these new forests. In the old days only the big sawmills were equipped to

make bright, attractive-looking lumber. They had kilns; ago in the West; and he would probably have a little they dipped their lumber to prevent discoloration if it was money left'

air dried. In the last few years a perfectly revolutionary I based that statement on the fact that I have frimds

TH:":'ffi:ff#";J",:";l

who have *ied in vain to set $1.s0 a thousand for a big that does not have a dipping vat through which they put stand of the same kind of timber this man is trying to sell; their rumber the minute it comes from the saw. Many and r have seen second-growth Short Leaf Yellow Pine small mills have installed kiln drying equipment that cost sell in Louisiana recently for more than ten dollars a thoumore than the mill itself, to insure better looking lumber. sand' on the stump' Yes Sir ! A sawmill friend of mine There followed an amazing change in the preparation of told me the other day that he bid $10'25 a thousand on a the lumber for market. r have seen small mills with fine batch of second-growth short Leaf' and FATLED To dry kilns, planing mill equipment as good as that of any

The trade has come to demand bright timber sales of recent date where there was second-growth and shiny stock. southern Yellow Pine lumber is just nat- Long Leaf and short Leaf mixed' where the stuff was urally better-looking than it used to be, due to improved quickly gobbled up at $10 for the Long Leaf and S8 for the Short Leaf, on the stumP. care and equiPment. * * *

,f*:8

Please do not understand that by reason of this rapid regrowth of Yellow Pine, and of improved forestry methods, all the Yellow Pine mills of the South wifil keep on cutting indefinitely. Not so. But most all mills have had their life tenures extended considerably. Eventually many of them will have to go. The owners of several very large mills have advised me that they are at the end of their string, and will be through and shut down for good this year. And in the past year several big ones have folded up, never to run again. The State of Mississippi has been the biggest loser of big mills cutting out in the past couple of years, the total production that has gone for good in that state amounting to a huge volume. But all of those that are closing have run much longer than they had ever anticipated.

**:F

But f started writing about the market price of standing timber. I had a letter the other day from a business man. He said that he went West twenty years ago and bought a block of big timber, just as an investment, figuring that he could make money by holding it until timber got scarce. Now, he said, with small second"growth Yellow Pine in the South bringing big prices, must be a good time to sell big, beautiful, virgin timber. So he asked me to send him the names of some likely investors in such a good thing. What I wrote him back was true, but must have been a shock to him'

I told him it seemed silly, and I had no idea why it was, but that if he had a thousand feet of good second-growth Short Leaf Yellow Pine standing within trucking distance of a Southern sawmill, he could sell it for cash, and with that cash buy at least six thousand feet of the very same big, virgin timber he invested his money in twenty years

In Western Louisiana most of the remaining Yellow Pine mills are hungry for either timber or logs, and buy both as they are ofiered. And timber and logs, like other co'mmodities, have their prices fixed by the law of supply and demand. In East Texas there is, generally speaking, a greater supply of logs offered delivered to the mills, than in Louisiana, and the value of the timber and logs is therefore more reasonable. The average going price of secondgrowth Short Leaf Yellow Pine logs delivered to mill or railroad in East Texas is $10 to $13 per thousand feet' At some points there are so many independent loggers and small timber owners, that the mills are offered more logs than they can possibly use. Every district is different, and has its different problems, and its difierent conditions and Prices' * * *

But the strange contrast is that in almost any district of the Southwest, the cash value of small, second-growth Short Leaf Yellow Pine timber, is considerably greater than the cash value of everi the finest, biggest, virgin timber of the Far West. Can you figure it out? How long will such a condition last? And how long will it be before the mighty virgin forests of the West again become sal' able at a price anything like commensurate with their great value?

Harry Graham Announces Resignation

Harry J. Graham has announced his resignation with Pioneer Div., The Flintkote Co., Los Angeles, which became effective May 6.

Harry was with the company for the past twenty-four years, and is widely known in retail lumber 'circles throughoit the West. He was born in San Francisco. I{e was formerly with the Pacif ic llardware & Supply Co. of San Francisco as salesman, and in 1910 was transferred to their Los Angeles office. In l9l4 he went with the Pioneer Paper Co. (now Pioneer Div., The Flintkote Co.) as salesman. For a number of years he was director of sales in the roofing department for the eleven \Mestern states.

Few, if any, men ever sold asphalt roofing in Southern California, who enjoyed such a high degree of pers'onal popularity with the retail lumber trade right down through the years, as l{arry Graham. He is always a prime favorite at every lumber gathering.

Harry says he will take a short rest after which he'rvill announce his plans for the future.

A Vision

A vision came to me last night while I slept.

I saw the Christ look down upon the world, He wept; And then He knelt, and raised His eyes and hands in prayer;

And peace fell o'er the world, and there was silence there;

And then he spoke, His words came pure, and clear, and sweet;

"Oh, Father, here I kneel humbly at Thy feet, Praying that Thou let Me g'o once more to earth, To consummate the plans for which Thou gavest Me birth;

For there the hypocrites, self-righteous ones do reign, My lessons of sweet peace and holy love seem all in vain.

Oh, Father, grant Me now again I rpray this boon, For Thou did'st send Me there TWO THOUSAND YEARS TOO SOON."

Many Entries in Bridge Design Contest

Washington, April 24.-The timber bridge design contest being conducted under the joint auspices of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, the American Forest Products Industries and the Timber Engineering Company, and for which prizes of $1,500 have been offered by the latter company, enters its fourth month with more than 1,200 entries received from all over the United States. Hawaii and Canada.

Prizes range from $500 down to $50 with twenty-five prizes in all being awarded. As an added incentive to Canadian students, the British Columbia Lumber & Shingle Manufacturers Association has donated an additional sum of $100 to the prize money. This is to be divided among students of engineering and architecture of the {Jniversities of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia as follows: Fifty dollars to the student winning the highest student award, $25 to the student submitting the design judged best, provided it does not win one of the prizes of greater value, and $25 to the student of the University of British Columbia submitting the design judged best, provided it does not win one of the prizes of greater'value.

The rules require that the design submitted be of a highway bridge constructed of timber and employing the timber connector method of construction. A book giving complete rules and specifications may be obtained on request from the Timber Engineering Company, 1337 Connecticut Avenue, Washington, D. C. All designs must be in the mails my midnight, August 15.

Lumber Exports for March

Washington, May l,-The Department of Commerce has reported export of 87,000,000 board feet of lumber during March, this amount being greater than sxpelts for the same month last year by 171 per cent, but it is only 33.2 per cent of the average monthly rate of lumber exported in l9D, says the National Lumber Manufacturers Asso_ ciation.

During the entire first quarter lumber exports amounted to but Z26,W,m board feet, less than a 2 per cent gain from the first quarter figure of 1937, and only D per ient of the averag'e quarterly rate of lumber exported in I9D.

Blame for the decreased America,n lumber export trade can be placed on foreign tariff discriminations and prefer_ ences, exchange controls, restrictive imrport quotas, lower ocean rates and better shipping facilities enjoyed by for_ eign competitors, and Oriental conditions, states the Na_ tional Lumber Manufacturers Association.

In 1938 lumber exports dropped to less than one billion feet, the lowest volume in 4O years and were but 4.5 per cent of national production compared with an average of 9 per cent of the three-fourths larger nati.onal production ten years ago. The greatest losses have been to the Orient and to British Empire markets. Due largely to the SinoJapanese war, softwood lumber exports to the Orient in 1938 were about one-third of their volume in the 1920s. In 79?9 the proportion of Pacific Northwest water shipments to British Empire markets was 78 rper cent from the United States, 22 per cent from British Columbia; last year it was 5 per cent from the United States, 95 per cent from British Columbia. The Empire preferential tariff system has been largely accou.ntable for the phenomenal decline in United States exports to British countries and for the present critical condition of the lumber export trade. At the same time European supplies of sawn softwood available for export are about one-third less than 10 years ago.

While there has been a slight gain to date over 1938 exports, it still leaves our lumber exports 7A per cent less than those of ten years ago. On the other hand Forest Pro.ducts imports for 1938 were more than double its exports, $234,681,917 worth of products being received at U. S. ports and only $94,102,390 worth of products being shipped to foreign countries.

Glick Brothers Lumber Company, Los Angeles, are building an addition to their office.

Homes Are Better Where the Dealer ls Directly lnterested

Bv Jack Dionne

We have crlwcys contended thct cr community in which there otrrerctes one or more live crnd on-the-iob building merchcnis, is c lortuncte community, indeed; ihct the lumber decrler is either c blessing or cr stumbling block to his towtt" depending entirely upon the mcnner in which he hcmdles his stewcndship.

This is true in many wcys, cnd lor many sound recaons. For instqnce, the live curd worthwhile building mctericrl merchant is MORE interested in securing new cmd better homes lor his town, thcm he is in simply relling the building Ercterials lrom which these homes shcrll be constnrcted; thct his intereet is mutuql with fhat ol the hone builder, hirnsell cnrd stops only ct the point where the consumer is hcppily cmd $rtistactorily supplied with the best possible home for his mecnre

Hcrs it ever occurred to you, Mr. Building MerchtmL thqt the town in which the lumber' ncrn is directly interested in securing or crecrting lor his clients scrtislcrctory homes, secureg Ictr better hones thcrn the town where this is NOT the ccrse? Undoubiedlyl Remember the story oI fhe ierry-built house thct lell down beccruse lhe ccreless coatrtrctor took down the exterior sccdolding belore he put on the wcll-pcrper. In mcrny ccrses where the lumber merchcrnt hcs no direct interest, they build homes chnost that bcrd. But NOT where the lurnbermcsr, himsell, hcs c finger in the pie. Beccruse the lurnbernqn ie in town to stcrl', he hcrs cr reputction to sustain if be is to keep on selling building mctericls, crnd knows thct his ulri'rrcrie success depends on the good will ol the building public. And he knows that houses built merely to sell-regcrdless oI proper mcrtericls curd construction-will probably give trouble sooner or lqter; generclly aooner.

So, when the lumbermcn hcrs cny responsible connection with the building ol cr home, he is going to see to it thct the plcce is built right using the right natericrls in the righl wcry, othenrise the blcnne comea bcck to him iI the house begins to "give dowa-.

My father smiled this morning when He came donrnstairs, you see, At mother; and when he smiled then She turned and smiled at me. And when she smiled at me, I went And smiled at Mary Ann, Out in the kitchen; and she lent It to the baker man.

So then he smiled at someone whom He saw when going by, Who also smiled, and, ere he knew Had twinkles in his eye. So he went to his office then, And smiled right at his clerk, Who put some more ink on his pen And smiled back from his work

And when this clerk went home he smiled Right at his wife, and she Smiled over at their little child As happy as could be.

And then the little girlie took The smile to school and when She smiled at teacher from her book Teacher smiled back again.

And then the teacher passed it on To little Jim McBride, Who couldn't get his lessons done No matter how he tried.

And Jimmie took it homg and told How teacher smiled at him, When he was tired, and didn't scold, But said, "Don't worrS Jim."

And when I happened there to be That very night to play, Jim's mother had a smile to spare, Which came across my way. And then I took it for a while Back home, and Mother said"Here is that very self-same smile Come back with us to bed."

NOT A BAD OFFER

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle used to relate a bantering conversation he had many years ago with a young English actor who was then making ten dollars a week in the cast of one of his plays. The youngster laughingly suggested that he would like to enter into a contract with Sir Conan by which they would agree to divide their incomes equally for the rest of their lives. Naturally, Sir Arthur turned it down. He learned to regret the decision. The young actor was Charlie Chaplin.

BUSINESS

Business is not static. ff it were, there would be more sure fire formulas for business success. Business changes constantly and sometimes violently. Alert management shapes policies to meet current needs.

A MATTER OF NATIONALITY?

Question: I hesitate to invite people to my home because my English is so poor. What would you suggest?

Answer: "Don't be silly! Nowadays people don't care about the quality of your English. ft's your Scotch they judge you by.

She nibbled her pen a moment, then wrote: ttNot very."

Don F. White

Donald Frier White of White Brothers, pioneer har'dwood dealers of San Francisco. is one of the busiest and most capable young men in the hardwood business of the Pacific Coast.

He was born in Alameda, Calif., attended Alameda schools and graduated from the University of California in the class of 1930. While at the University he served in the Reserve Officers Training Corps, graduating as Ma. jor in the Air Corps. During this period he spent six weeks at Crissy Field for flying practice. He now holds a commission in the Quartermaster's Reserve Corps, U. S. Army.

During his high school and college years he spent his early vacations in White Brothers' hardwood yard, start-

ing as yard boy and working through various departments under the able guidance of Louis N. David, superintendent.

Don entered the regular employ of White Brothers in 1930 as billing clerk. He has worked up through the different departments in both the Oakland and San Francisco ofifices to his rpresent position of purchasing agent and assistant to W. T. White and C. H. White, president and vice-rpresident of the firm. He is also secretary-treasurer of the Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Association.

It is interesting to recall here that White Brothers, now in its 67th year, was established in July 1872 by Asa L. and Peter White.

Don takes his work seriously. At the University he took a special course in Forestry under Professor A. B. Recknagel, of Cornell, who was exchange professor at that time for Professor Emanuel Fritz of California. Since that time he has made a comprehensive study of hardwoods. He has therefore laid a good groundwork for being, as seems entirely likely, one of the future lea.ders of the industry on the Pacific Coast.

A son of C. H. White, he is one of the third generation of the White family in the business, his brother, Charles 8., also being associated with the firm.

Mr. White was married in 1934 to Miss Jean Malloch of Oakland. They live in Alameda and have two daughters, Judith and Wendy. He has two hobbies, gardening and photography.

"Fortune" Maga zine Publishes Amazing Story About Diamond Match

For years past "Fortune" Magazine has devoted much time, attention, and space, to relating unusual stories about industrial enterprises, and industrialists. The current issue, May, 1939, devotes all the reading matter on thirteen of its large pages, to telling the story of The Diamond Match Company. There are many California illustrations accompanying the story, including pictures of the Ojai Valley ranch home,of the remarkable president of Diamond Match, Wm. A. Fairburn; of the Diamond Match timber holdings in Northeastern California; of the sawmills of the company at Chico and Sterling City; and of some phases of the operations in the Chico match plant.

The greater part of the story in "Fortune" is the financial history of the Company, and of the very retiring and amazing business and financial wizatd who is most responsible for its success, Mr. Fairburn. The story is graphically told, from the time most of the match-making companies in the United States ended a term of destructive competition and price-cutting away back in 1880 by merging their interests under the banner of one concern, and calling it The Diamond Match Company. We shall leave the financial and biographical story to those who read "Fortune," and only quote a few of the highlights that will directly interest the lumber folks of California. It may be briefly stated, with regard to the financial success of the firm, that it has never passed a dividend since it was organized in 1880, and that its net dividends fluctuate less than that of any other large organization in history. The most money it ever made was about $2,8@,00O in l9D, and the least it ever made was practically $2,000,000 during the depths of the depression.

Mr. Fairburn took charge of the properties in 1909. At that time he was already a famous engineer, and was in Europe studying Diesel engines for James J. Hill and Edward H. Harriman, when he was offered the Match Company job. He looked over the match situation in Europe, came home and looked over the match industry here, then investigated the affairs of The Diamond Match Company, and then took the job. Since that day his has been one of the most successful records of financing, manufacturing and selling, that business anywhere has known. It is a tremendous story, as told in "Fortune" and is well worth the time of every thinking man for a thorough reading.

Today The Diamo,nd Match Company, according to this story, owns N,OW acres of timber land stretching away from the Upper Sacramento Valley, covered with Ponderosa, Sugar Pine, Douglas and White Fir, and Cedar timber. This timber is not processed into matches. It owns modern lumber sawmilling plants at Chico and Sterling City, California. At Chico, besides the mighty match-making plant for both wood and paper matches, it has a plant that manufactures bee hives, honeycomb frames, and other bee supplies in large quantities. It owns sixty retail lumber yards i.n California that are operated along the most modern lines. It operates twenty retail yards in New Eng-

land territory. It owns a 6O,000 acre Pine forest in Idaho and Washington, from which it cuts White Pine splints for its wooden match factories. It owns sawmills in this timber where logs for match making are cut and seasoned for two years. It owns another mill near Spokane, Washington, where they 'cut the White Pine logs into rough timbers that are shipped to the Diamond match-making plants. ft ow,ns three match factories besides the one at Chico, California. They are located at Springfield, Mass., Oswego, New York. and Barberton. Ohio. Book matches are made at Springfield; wooden matches are made at Oswego; and both wood and book matches at Chico and Barberton. They buy the paper for their book matches, but produce their own wood.

In addition The Diamond Match Company is one of the country's largest distributors of paper napkins, toothpicks, clothespins, wax paper, picnic rplates, and toilet paper. Of Diamond's net sales, matches comprise 52 per cent; the lumber business D per cent; woodenware and paper products 13 per cent; and miscellaneous, mostly chemicals, 6 per cent. The Diamond Match Company, and its associated corporations, .does a large majority of the match business of the United States. It makes three types of matches: the strike-anywhere or kitchen match, which is packed in paper boxes and is a safety match used for all pra,ctical purposes; the strike-on-box safety match which is generally packed in wooden boxes, though not always; and the book, or paper match. The match business of the United States in terms of dollars, is not huge, just about $30,000,00O annually, wholesale.

The Diamond Match Company originated the book package of matches, even originated the safety slogan, "Close cover before striking." It likewise originated the idea of book matches for advertising purposes, now a tremendous propositi'on. The annual production of these book matches is now ab,out six billion paper 'packs annually.

Diamond, under the great engineer Wm. Fairburn, revolutionized the match business through research, and then in a spirit of broad humanitarianism, gave the first safety match formulas to its comrpetitors and to the world, for humanity's sake. The old original match that Mr. Fairburn found them making'were of white phosphorus, which were both explosive and poisonous, particularly for the workers in match factories. This was a terrific problem, but through the efforts of their research department they announced in 1910 a formula for producing nonpoisonous, nonexplosive matches. Mixing sesquisulphide with chlorate of potash brought the victory. Not only did Diamond give the formula free to the world but even loaned its own engineers to competitors to help them make safe matches, This ended the menace of white phosphorus matches.

"Fortune" praises highly the whole Diamond Match Company operation, and particularly the amazing accomplishments of President Fairburn.

New Typ" Laminated Congtruction Using Plywood Patented bv TECO

\lrashington, D. C.-A new, laminated type of construction using plywood as the structural material is announced by the Timber Engineering Company, subsidiary of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, to whom patents have been issued.

The object of this system of construction is to provide a laminated wood structure of plywood-the laminations being secured together by a hardened adhesive-readily designed to meet the stresses expected in service. It is believed that its commercial uses will be wide and varied, including construction of laminated arches or roof trusses, box girders, and airplane wing surfaces in the form of an airfoil.

The manner of construction makes possible the use of a load carrying structural member designed so that a core of laminations of plywood extending throughout the height and length of the member, upon which stiffening laminae are superimposed will meet the stresses of service' The superimposed laminae narrow progressively as their spacing from the core increases and are bonded together by hardened adhesive.

Heretofoie, the method has 'been to form structural members of laminations of lumber placed edgewise to the bending stresses; but in this form of structure the full strength was not developed for the reason that the laminations between the connecting elements each acted more or less independently.

Reunion at Poet Laureate's Home

April 29 and 30 were selected by a group of Northern California lumbermen, their wives and friends, as the date for the annual pilgrimage (known as the "Spring Round-up") to the home of Adeline Merriam Conner, situated on North San Juan Ridge in Nevada County. Mrs. Conner is the Poet I-aureate of the lumber industry.

Saturday evening, a party of twenty-six gathered in Nevada City at the National Hotel, a hostelry teeming with relics and still reflecting, to some extent, the atmosphere of the early gold rush days. A delicious dinner was served, with Mrs. Conner as honored guest, who, with her husband, Fred Conner, a former prominent lumberman, had come from their home thirteen miles higher in the Sierra Nevada Mountains for the occasion.

After dinner, all congregated in the spacious old-fashioned "parlor," where, under the leadership of Frank Trower, a pleasant two hours were spent in reviewing early California history, particularly that of Nevada County, which is rich in the lore of mining days. At this meeting, a huge birthday cake was presented to Mr. Fred Conner, commemorating the anniversary of his birth. The cake disappeared rapidly, each and all wishing Fred many more happy birthdays.

Early Sunday morning, a delightful ride through the mountains brought the party to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Conner, where an "Open Air Picnic" lunch was served, under "The Cedars." There are twelve Cedars of Lebanon in the grove, planted in the 1860's and named for the Twelve Apostles.

After lunch an informal gathering was held under the trees, where, again led by Frank Trower, those present contributed with story or song to make the occasion one long to be remembered by all present. Miss Betty Trower's recitatiort of poems by Douglas Malloch and others, and J. B' (lim) Overcast's description of his experience in an overcroWded

J. H. Baxter & Co. lssues New Booklet

One of the most interesting new advertising booklets on wood is just off the press and available for distribution through California lumber dealers to their home prospects and contractor ,customers. It has been issued by J. H. Baxter & Co., Los Angeles, with the distinct forethought of first selling the outstanding advantages of building your home of wood and second of showing how Chromated Zinc Chloride salt treated wood can be effectively used to prevent termite and fungus attack, thus making a wood home both lower in first cost and as permanent and low in maintenance cost as those built of other materials.

The attractive four-color brochure illustrated here appeals to the home owning instinct of all readers. The two young people who are about ready to build a home are shown i,n conversation on the cover, and on the following page, expressing their desire for an attractive up-to-date home that is safe and comfortable as well as low in cost through the years. Their conclusion is to build a house of wood. Then under the heading "It's Good Business to Build Your Home of Wood," the many merits of wood construction are persuasively discussed. How wood can be protected against termites or fungus and this problem overcome in wood homes is then clearly explained.

In the last part of the booklet Baxco CZC pressure treated lumber is recommended for use in the portions of houses where termite and dry rot damage mostly occurs. The qualities of Chromated Zinc Chloride salt in Baxco CZC lumber are pointed out and the availability of this pressure processed lumber through the lumber dealer is featured.

Mcnrufcrcturers' order files cre lcrge,. shipments crre slowing up. We hqve q lcrge inventory cnrd cre prepcrred to give you quick shipment.

FTOORING

The book is an excellent answer to the claims that wood homes cannot be built to be low in up-keep 4nd erpens up for the lumber dealer a profitable method of competing with many materials of the permanent type by selling pressure treated lumber.
