There is good lumber available; there will continue to be good lumber available. Grade marked lumber is available and will always be available. Our grading bureau has increased its field stafi from ,+0 to 300 in six years. The Bureau payroll now exceeds $1,000,000 annually, which is money spent by the industry to assure you good lumber. fn recent weeks a surprising number of new mills have joined -the Bureau. It has more members now than at any previous time and appears headed for further important growth.

For the first time in history all our standing timber has important dollar value. Most all of it is now strongly held. Most of it will be properly harvested, prciperly manufactured. Stumpage values have doubled and trebled. Meantime logging wages have increased from 69 cents per hour in 1935 to $1.79 per hour in 1947; mill wages from 60 cents to $1.47. Supplies and expenses have doubled and more. This all adds up to the necessity of improved marketing of our product, a problem in which you as distributors can be of important assistance. It can, in fact, only be solved by the cooperation of manufacturers and distributors.

I appreciate your invitation to be with you here today and it has been a real pleasure to me. I would like to leave you with this thought. More Douglas Fir lumber will be sold by distributors in 1947 than in any of the last 16 years. I hope you all get your share and that you have an interesting and profitable time selling it and I thank you.
