Sa fegaard Against Destractive Condensation

The new improved Sealed Lok-Joiot Lath is fabricated from Graylite (integrally treated with aspbalt) and provided with a vapor seal on the

reverse side to retard vapor travel from ioside rooms ro stud spaces.

Bildrite Sheathing controls the dissipation of such vapor as may escape the vapor bar-

rier into the outside air. By permitting vapor passage, it effectively prevents condensa-

tion within the stud spaces.

WITH THE

NEW WAIL OF PROTECTION

NO ITOUSE is modern unless the condensatioo problem has been squarely met and overcome.

Vapor is always prevalent in the air. It generally travels from warm to cold areas, quickly passing through unprotected inside walls into stud spaces and there condenses.

The Neu INSULITE S7ALL OF PROTECTION controls vapor. The combinatiooof Sealed Graylite Lok-Joint Latb etreaively retards the passage of vapor, while Bildrite Insal.ating Sheatbing allows aoy possible vapor within the stud spaces to escape.

Sealed Graylite LoA-Joint Latb is the same, safe, rigid plastering surface. The famous "Lok" secures each unit, reduces danger of plaster cracks to the minimum, thus assuring smooth walls and ceilings.

"So many Gods, so many creeds, So many roads that wind and wind, When all this sad world really needsIs just the art of being kind."

*{.* As we look at the world conditipns today, it looks very much like "the art of being kind" is one of the lost arts. {.*rF

I have received many letters of late quoting the Bible to show that the "end of the world" is at hand. One biblical student filled three single-space tlryewritten pages witb references that seem to him to point to present world conditions as indicative that the end is near. ,rt*

To those who interpret the scriptures literalln there is premonition in abundance to point to the early end of this world. To those who interpret it spiritually, there is abundant promise of hope and joy. Every time unusual things develop in this world, good and serious people read their Bible to prove that those signs which shall precede the final destruction of the earth, are at present with us. **{<

One of the kindest, sweetest, most Christian men I ever

knew died at the age of more than eighty. All his life, at very frequent intervals, he had pointed to the things he found in his beloved Bible to prove that the end of the world was approaching. I think he rather regretted that all his very definite prophecies failed to come true.

May 15. 1940

Which reminds me that the Book of Genesis furnishes, with regard to the stars, the all-time champion understatement. It tells of the creation. How the Lord labored for days making this world, and all that is in it. And after that labor was accomplished, just as a sort of after-thought, the Book says: "He made the stars also." Astronomy tells us that there are about seventy billions of major stars close enough to be estimated, and this earth one of the smallest of the small. Wouldn't it have been a sad oversight to have forgotten to make them? **r!

No, I don't think the "end of the world" is at hand. If the epidemic of murder that now so nearly encircles the globe were to wipe out the last human, this hunk of rock and sand and water would still go rolling on in its appointed place. *{<*

That, of course, won't happen, either. Sooner or later the gorilla men who now threaten the peace of the world, will go back to the darkness and foulness from whence they came and "thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself' will once again become the basic law of civilized people. There will probably be dark days in between; but that right will prevail over wrong, love over hate, friendliness over force have not the slightest doubt. You will find mountains -I of such assurance in the New Testament.

The great general calmly re*{<* plied: "Mr. Davis wanted to know what I thought of that St. John says that at the end the stars shall fall down officer; not what that officer thought of me." upon the earth. Since we know that there are billions and billions of stars, each of which is thousands of times as big as this little celestial body we call "earth," (many of \l- lO"" of the most guoted stories of Lincoln is of that them as much bigger than this earth as this earth is bigger s&e type.

Loans for the construction of homes in 1939 accounted for 50 per cent of the dollar volume. Home ownership was made possible for 11,768 families, which were assisted with loans aggregating $36,419,611, while 5612 loans totaling $13,907,157 were made for the purchase of homes.

57 Year-Old San Francisco Firm Moves to N"w Location J. E. Higgins Lumber Company recently completed moving into their new location at 99 Bayshore Boulevard, San Francisco.

In a four-page removal announcement sent to the trade a brief history of this firm's progress was given under the heading, "A Few Milestones," beginning in 1883 when Frank Howard Allen and James Edwin Higgins started Allen & Higgins Lumber Company at 18 and 20 Spear Street, San Francisco, with an opening inventory of five cars of hardwood lumber.

In 1897 they bought out their principal competitor, John Wigmore & Sons, and moved to Wigmore's location at Spear and Howard Streets. Mr. Allen passed away in 1901, and in 1906 the buildings and stock were completely destroyed in the big fire. Before the embers were cool new buildings were under construction and new stocks of hardwood lumber were on their way from the mills.

J. E. Higgins bought the interest of Mr. Allen's widow in 1909 and in 1911 the firm name was changed to J. E. Higgins Lumber Company. The property at Sixth and Harrison Streets was purchased in I9L2 and the business moved to this location rvhere it remained for'?E years.

The goodwill and inventory of the San Francisco branch of the Cadwallader-Gibson Company was purchased in 1925 for about $35O,00O, and in 1926,1927,1928 and t9Z9 the i* ventories were purchased of Edward F. Niehaus Company, Dieckmann Hardwood Company, the Hardwood Department of the American Trading Company and the Richards Hardwood Company, in that order.

In l92B a block at Bayshore Boulevard and Army Street on the 'Western Pacific Railroad was purchased and modern hardwood dry kilns were installed and the first warehouse built.

The factory of the defunct Sulmock Manufacturing Company in Oakland was purchased and operated as the Higgins Furniture Manufacturing Company until 1937. It is now leased to other interests.

In 1931 The Higgins Company was organized with dis-, play rooms and offices at 2335 Broadway, Oakland, for the manufacture and installation of Venetian blinds and awnings, and installation of linoleum and all types of resilient and wood floors. This business was sold in 1938.

Mr.J. E. Higgins passed away in 1937 and J. E. Higgins,

Jr. was elected president.

Early this year the necessary additional warehouses and office were built at the Bayshore yard.

President J. E. "Ted" Higgins injected a little humor into the moving operations by having an artist draw a cartoon for the first page of the removal notice depicting the moving taking place in caravan style, led by a motorcycle escort.

No Advance Information He could very well be described as young and well dressed, and, to even the casual observer it was apparent that he was very drunk, for he swayed visibly in the breeze, and there was no breeze.

He attracted much attention for he stood on a busy corner, and held in his left hand a writing tablet, and in the other a fountain pen, and he was working hard witb this free-hand style of writing, mumbling the letters and words aloud as he pushed the vagrant pen across the face of the tablet.

The kindly-faced officer across the street watched him with some amusement, and finally walked over to him.

"Good morning, friend," he said to the drunk in smiling

MOVES TO NE.w LOCATION Patten-Blinn Lumber Company is now in its new and larger yard at 823 S. Myrtle Ave., Monrovia, just across the street from its former location, with a completely modernized. of;fice building and extensive storage sheds where all lumber and supplies are kept under cover.

The interior of the office building is finished with Celotex insulation board and all storage sheds have been painted and reroofed. In addition to rough and finish lumber, the company handles Old Colony paints and painters' supplies, hardware, sash and doors, and other building products including lroncraft barbecue fittings. They operate a mill in connection with the yard.

The drunk stopped writing and glared at him. "Don't bozzet me," he said, "can't you shee I'm busy writing?"

"Well," said the cop. "And what are you writing?"

"A letter, 'at's whatr" said the drunk.

"f seer" said the cop. "And who are you writing the letter to?"

"To myshelf,'at's who," said the drunk.

"So you're writing yourself a letter, eh?" the cop said.

"And what are you telling yourself in the letter?"

"How do I know what I'm writing myshelf ?" said the drunk, with evident disgust. "I won't get the letter till tomorrow.t'

NEW PERMATOL BULLETIN Portland, Oregon, April l5-Three and a half years ago the Western Pine Association announced the development of Permatol by their Research Laboratory as an effective preservative treatment for sash, doors, frames and exterior millwork and published an 8-page technical bulletin on the subject. On March lst another revised edition of this publication, known as Technical Bulletin No. 6, has been issued and single copies are now available without cost from the Association in the Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon.

The latest bulletin brings the various Permatol formulas up to date and includes the preservative treatment standards as approved by the National Door Manufacturers Association in their "Seal of Approval" program. New illustrations have been added to show an endless chain type of tank for dipping products in Permatol.

Information Service on Home Ownerrhip Announced for Southern California "American families would build a million homes in 1944, if the general public was fully informed on two basic facts:

(1) the building industry is today offering more house for the dollar than ever before; (2) the 19,10 home is easy to own, more so than in any previous year of American progress."

So states C. W. Pinkerton, Chairman of Southern California Homes Foundation. Mr. Pinkerton's statement was made in announcing the program and purpose of the recently formed Foundation, which is sponsored by the associated retail lumber dealers of Southern California, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and the National Small Homes Demonstration.

"For three years 32 national organizations within the building industry have conducted studies seeking reduction in the cost of small homes," Mr. Pinkerton's announcement says. "This work has been done in the medium of a nonprofit, nondues-paying association, The National Small Homes Demonstration. It has gone into every corner of the small-homes field, from financing to construction methods, from plans to paint. Southern California Homes Foundation has been formed to bring the results of these studies to this section, and to apply them to specific new-. home needs and preferences of Southern California families.

"The primary task is to make such facts as the following known: "1. Since 1934 every California family that can pay rent has had the opportunity to use its rent money-the same monthly amount-to own a better place in which to live.

"2. On August l, 1939, it became possible for the first time in the U.S.A. to buy a $5,000 house and lot for $50O cash and less than one dollar a day. The monthly payment on a $4500 loan covering a $5000 property under the new 4l per cent FHA fr-year plan is $D.57; f.or a ZS-year term, $26.15.

"3. For a home costing $2500 or less, under the FHA, Title I, Class 3 type of loan, the down payment may be as little as five per cent--only $125 for house and land valued at $2500, or about the cost of a good cabinet radio.

"4. To take advantage of such opportunities, the renting family needs only a modest savings account, or ownership of a lot, to provide down payment on a complete new home.

"These and many other related facts will bear repeating over and over, because the great progress made during the past two years in small-home financing, design, materials and construction methods, is not widely understood.

The work of Southern California Homes Foundation is to make this progress known."

Further information on Southern California Homes Foundation may be had by writing the headquarters office, 441 Douglas Building, Los Angeles, California.

New District Managers Appointed

by Insulite Changes in the national sales organization of The Insulite Company, just announced by Vice-President and General Sales Manager E. W.

has already taken up his new work in San Francisco.

The appointment of Mr. Plain as Pacific district manager follows the transfer of U. L Plain Mr. Monahan to the eastern he where is to 6erve as Eastern dispart of the country,

trict manager.

Mr. Plai,n has been with The Insulite Company since 1928. He joined the company twelve years ago as assistant export manager. In 1931, a year after the large Insulite mill was completed at Kymi, Finland, Mr. Plain was transferred to Europe. He was sent there to head the Amsterdam office, and organize its distribution centers.

Ife represented the company there for three years, during which his work took him to practically every country in Europe. He returned to America in 1934, to organize the distribution of Insulite products throughout Canada.

The Pacific district office of The Insulite Company serves one of the largest and most important building areas in the United States. Its territory includes the states of California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada.

"There is a big future for Insulite products on the Pacific Coast," said Mr. Plain today. "'We know this is true because there has been a constantly increasing demand for all our items throughout every part of our coast territory during the past years. Dealers everywhere report a growing demand for Insulite from the thousands of new builders up and down the coast. We shall do our very best to improve our service in every way, so we can render even better service to the many users of our products.

"Insulite originated and developed the first rigid fiber insulation board twenty-six years ago at International Falls, Minnesota. Its products are used in all parts of the United States and Canada, and in many foreign lands. New items are being continually added to widen Insulite's many uses. The eight new materials introduced this year include four pre-decorated, washable interior finish materials, and two low density acoustical materials for sound quieting and light reflection. All of these 'new products are enjoying a wide acceptance and sale and supplementing the older products in a most satisfactory way."

You know how it is with an April day: When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, A cloud comes over the sunlit arch, A wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March.

Secretary Totten says it will be an old-time Arizona lumbermen's convention, and wholesalers, manufacturers, their wives, sweethearts, and all friends will be invited.

In addition to the business sessions, there will be many entertainment features, and the annual banquet will be held Saturday evening. A record-breaking attendance is

Union Sawmill Co., president of the Little Rock and Monroe Railway Co., vice-president and general manager of the Frost-Trigg Lumber Co., a stockholder of the Lufkin Land & Lumber Co., and a director of the Noble Lumber Co. of Noble, La. All of these enterprises later became known as the Frost-Johnson Lumber Co. Mr. Johnson sold his interests in the Frost-Johnson Lumber Co. in 1918 and moved west. His first investment on the Pacific Coast was in a California Pine mill known as the Davies-Johnson Lumber Co. at Calpine, Calif. In L92l he acquired Oregon property and founded the C. D.

sas City in 1885. His first work in the lumber business was in a small sawmill at Chopin, La. Later he went to Shreveport, La., and when 20 years old was bucking logs at Carmona, Texas, at 50 cents a thousand. From there he went with A. W. Morris at Barnum, Texas, one of the founders of the sawmilling business of Texas, as foreman and shipping clerk.

From this modest start he rose rapidly in the lumber business and by 1899 in St. Louis was president of the

Johnson Lumber Company and the Pacific Spruce Corporation, which later through re-organization became the C. D. Johnson Lumber Corporation. The firm's mill is at Toledo, Ore., and the plant, built in 1923, has the largest rated capacity of any combination rail and cargo mill in Oregon.

He was a member of the Masonic Order, the Arlington Club, the Bohemian Club, and was a former vice-president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Dorothy Johnson; three sons, Dean and Robert F. of Toledo, Ore., and Ernest E. Johnson of Portland, and several grandchildren.

Models of Low-Cost Homes Now Available Washington, April 30.-Lorv-cost models of lorv-cost, dollar-a-day homes, which the average retail lumber merchant can afford, are now being made ayailable by National Small Homes Demonstration.

The first two patterns are basic Demonstration llouses prepared for l94O; and the quarter-scale models of the onean d-a-hal f-s tory --44-Z de si gn-an d the two-story-40- I design-cost the dealer but $6.25.

Attractively presented on green cloth covered board, the models accomplish from a sales standpoint a result closely approaching that obtained from the usual model available at several times this cost.

In quantities of four or more the models are still less expensive, making possible a widespread distribution among prospects, in which capacity they are sure-fire business-getters. In lots of four they may be purchased for $22.ffi; and in lots of six for $30.00.

Big Hoo-Hoo Concatenation to be Held

May 15, 1940

News Flashes

In San Francisco May 24 A big Hoo-Hoo Concatenation, marking the revival of Hoo-Hoo in San Francisco, will be held at the Mark Hopkins Hotel, San Francisco, on Friday, May 24, at 5:D p.m.

A number of kittens have already signed up. There will be a big attendance of old cats. Kittens are to report at the hotel not later than 4:39 p.m.

The Concat will be concluded by 6:59 p.m., and will be followed by a dinner, the cost of which will be $2.75 a plate.

Old members who wish to be reinstated can do so for $z.99. This includes dues to September, 1940.

In announcing the Concat, Bert Bryan, Vicegerent Snark for Northern California and Nevada, said in part: "International Hoo-Hoo is definitely on its way back to its rightful place in the lumber industry. Reinstatement of old members is taking place throughout the United States.

Concats are being held in all sections of the country with a resulting tremendous increase in membership. Old HooHoo Clubs have been revived and new ones instituted.

"There has been no Concatenation i,n San Francisco for twelve years, and so much enthusiasm has been shown in recent months in the revival of International Hoo-Hoo that arrangements have been made for a monster Concat.

The initiating Nine will consist of many of the oldtime San Francisco Hoo-Hoo members. You can expect an old-time party."

The initiating officers will be as follows: B. E. Bryan, Vicegerent Snark; A. J. Nolan and Harry Vincent, Junior Hoo-Hoo; Carl A. Warden, Gurdon; Fitz Dettmann, Senior Hoo-Hoo; Seth L. Butler, Jabberwock; Bert Johnson, Scrivenoter; Larue 'Woodson, Custocatian; Earl Carlson, Bojum; W. B. Jefferson, Arcanoper.

A number of out of town Hoo-Hoo members who are coming to San Francisco to attend the opening of the Fair on May 25 are expected to attend the Concatenation.

Application blanks for reinstatement and for candidates may be secured by telephoning Larue Woodson, 3045 lfth Street, San Francisco, VAlencia 2241, or Lewis Godard, 2350 Jerrold Avenue, San Francisco, Mlssion 0901.

The neat office building of the Tilden.Lumber Co., Richmond, Calif., illustrated here has been remodeled and its owners consider the money well spent.

Other improvements around the Tilden plant in the past year or so include painting the mill with aluminum paint, renewing the corrugated iron roof, building another dry shed and construction of a large sawdust bin.

Tilden Lumber Co. has had a yard in Richmond since l9U. The plant is located at 1519 Nevin Avenue, just a block from the main street. The yard is a branch of the Tilden Lumber Co., Berkeley.

bution in all parts of the United States," according to Frederick W. Jones, editor of Architect and Engineer magazine, San Francisco, "we have found that this lumber deserves special consideration in modern residential design and have therefore devoted an entire issue of the magazine to it."

Already circulated through the medium of its regular subscription list to thousands of Coast architects, the material contained in the Redwood issue of Architect and Engineer is now available in reprint form to lumber dealers, architects, and builders, in all parts of the country.

S. J. Sharp, manager of the California Redwood Association, has high praise for the editorial content of the reprint.

"We are very happy that the official organ of the State Association of California Architects has seen fit to produce an issue on Redwood. The information it contains is helpful and accurate, covering not only production and use of Redwood lumber but also giving as it does finishing and painting instructions and formulas as well as grade use guides and a style sheet of Redwood siding patterns."

The booklet illustrates work by both eastern and western architects and designers who have used the material in recent construction. Sample copies are available without charge when inquiry is made on business letterhead.

"'Vl est Coast Woods"---New Publication Seattle, Washington.-Thirty-six modern views of West Coast lumbering and wood use in a photographic sequence

that pictures the industry from wilderness timber to its retail outlets in all corners of the country have been published in booklet form for general distribution, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has announced. The publication, entitled "West Coast Woods," is the first of a series based on a year's work by Kenneth S. Brown, renowned for his photographs of Coulee Dam, and an industrial photographer of national reputation, the announcement stated.

"A year ago the Association employed Mr. Brown to prove his contention that West Coast lumbering is 'the most photogenic of all American industries,' " the announcement continued. "To date he has produced a thousand negatives, the views ranging from vast vistas of reforestation to everyday details of lumber use, including dramatic studies of men and machines in action, and all forming a modern photographic record of'the West Coast lumber industry.

"The first use of this new photograph file, in 'West Coast Woods,' is designed to give a popular outline of the scope and services of the industry and the retail dealers who carry its products. A distinctive feature which has caused wide comment is the front-cover design, which is simply a photographic study of the pattern of a rough, band-sawed Douglas fir board. The back cover illustrates retail yards in the Northwest, Northeast and Southwest. In each a retail salesman is displaying to a customer a standard item and grade-B&Btr Douglas fir drop siding. The moral pointed is that this and other items and grades of West Coast woods are nationally standardized.

"Between the covers a sequence of photographs pictures West Coast logging, lumber manu{acture, and products in service."
