Let's Stop Feeding Pessimism to Each Other

in California

By lack Dionne

ttAr a man thinketh in his heart. ro ie he."

There isn't anything on earth that travelr so fart and makeg so much impr-rion, ar bad neltylr and peuim,irtic opinions. -

And there is only one cafe and sure antidote for peseimisrn, end that is enthusiastic optimirm.

And the ltmrber indrstry of California ir right now badly in need of a tonic that itr mernberr may earily furnishwell distributed optimism and enthuriastic hopefulnetr.

The California lumbernrentr greatest need right now ir t-o take home unto ttemselver and follow that good old rule in any line of businecr-"if you haven't romahing GOOD to say, don't say anything."

T[i oH man *ai on f,ir death bed, and calling hic children round him he raid: t'Boyr and girls, Itve lived a lo11& long life and lmown rnany sorrowi and troubles. ^A'ND MOST OF THEM NEVER HAPPENED.''

And in retroepecg the lumber indurtry of California will be able to'look -back upon the rpring and summer of 1926 and make that same remark that the old man made.

I never saw the time when there were &t many peoplc in the lunber industry talking hard timec and bad conditionr and evil future ac there are right now in California.

And most of the things they are sying are not truer mo* of the gloom is imaginary, molt of the physical facts and conditions point toward optimirm rather trhan peerimirm' and the only *ay deep trouble can come to the ltrnber indurtry of Cdifornia is for everyone to ttink, talk, and fear the worst.

The facts are that the lumber busineer fu NOT in bad rhape, either in California or nationally.. And mort of the tro'ibie that DOES exist is caused by the lumber MEN and not by lumber THINGS.

ThLy tatk about hunber conditions being bad in Lo9 Angelec and surrounding territory. What are lhe factr? Building permits in Loc Angeles in Janrrary were $61973'252; ii February $8,536,580; in March $13'879'558; in April $11,2O7,289; in May $1O,7O2,8M.

-Is there anything: in thoee figrrrer to be pessimirtic about ? Thse is no other city of like size in the country with anything to compare with that amotmt of building for the Vgarr Y9t a lot ol them are h"ppy, proaperous, and boartful, while the Lor Angelel lumbermen morrn "hard timec."

The entire atrrrounding distric ir in about the rarne condition. Business from a volume rtandpoint ia very good in the building indrutry of Southern California"

Take the lumber movement by water into Southern California. In May lhe movement of lurnber into ttece ports waa 151,O(X),(XX) feet. Where is that lumber? Piled up romerrhere and begging fo,r purchaaera? Not at all The lurnbe,r docks of Southern California are in very normal

shape. That lumber har been sold and- rhippeiil. It it etorid in the retail yardr? Not by a long ehot. The average retail yard etock in Souttrern California is reported to be io:west in-years, mcre hand to mouth buyins being done than ever before.

So it is evident that there ir plenty of buildingtein-g dong' a great ded of hunber ir being biought r1r, eold, ahippqd' arrd rold to consumer. The volume of businese reemr to be good in Southern California.

Northern C-etifornia is in very good phyeical shape, b"tt.t probably than in Southern California. There -ir plenty of buiUinn beinc done. plentv of lumber being sold.

Yet lhere are cloudr of pecsimism fiUins the air of tihe California lumber indurtrv. It were folly to deny it. In fact, by facing it, demonrtrating its trseleosnesr and truthlerrneu ir the way to get rid of it

Two years "So, itt ihe srunmer of 1924, thlnss w€re this way. Pbycicaly-they were much WORSE than thev -1rr9 thii nrmrier. fte d;cks of Southern Cdifornia wcre piled high with rmsold and apparently unrranted lumber.- A larg-e number of lurnber "eerils were swinging at anchor, d6 nothing to do. There was plenty of peceimism and qgertion and doubt. Thinss were *orse nationally in the lumber in' dustry thur they are now.

Dia YOU know that for the first five months of 1926 in tbe entire SOFTW@D indurtry of the United Stater, sales and rhiprnentr have both exceeded production? Thg Fg- urel of- the National Lumber Mantfacturerr A*ociation prove that to bc a fact u,p to June firet. - Yet, by Septembet 1924, the silver lining of the lumber cloud had tunled out, ever5rthing war improved, and t'he in' durtry was back on the job again.

This spring reveral unfortunate thingr have happe'ned h the California lumber indrstry that have caused an exceP' tional and unusual wave of gloom.

The trouble with the lumber indurtry of California simply ir that itc morale ir low. ^A,nd the way to cure ttat affliction is to irnprove that rnorale. The lumber indrutry ie largely a MENT.{L thing. It is the mental end of the buiners that makec prorperity and brings deprersion, ar ir proven by the preaent rituation, and has been proven hun' dredr of times before.

There ir one thing for cvery lumbenman in Cdifornia to start doing right now, and that is to TA'LK OPTIMI$

flCALLfORDON'T TALK. There is really more to talk brightly about, than tfiere ia the other way, if we will jurt look for it.

Quit saying that businesc is bad. THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT BAD.

T:\ \ I OO

By Jack, Dionne

Most of the financial agencies, organizations, and periodicals of the nation are now devoting an impressive amount of time, words, space, and attention to the discussion of what is called "the installment" evil that has come so rapidly upon the nation in the last few years.

The whole thing is summed up so far as figures are concerned in the recent statement by the American Bankers Association that our installment business in the United States today has reached the tremendous sum total of $6,500,000,000 annually.

The American public is buying that tremendous total every year on the partial payment plan, a little down, and a little more at regular intervals.

And all words so far uttered and printed on that subject "view with alarm" this situation, and its continued rapid development. That it has its dangerous tendencies is the opinion of all financial thinkers who have spoken, and that it will lead to trouble, seems to be the prevalent opinion.

A man can buy a pair of shoes, a hat, a suit of clothes, a radio, a talking machine, a piano, an automobile, the sidewalk in front of his house, a paint job on the house, a new roof, a single chair or a house full of furniture, the house itself, a diamond ring, a summer vacation, an insurance policy, and thousends of other things in huge variety, and pay for them over a series of weeks, months, or years.

The financial folks believe that the averjrge man, offered easy payments, is prone to over-purchase; and all men who understand human nature are certain to agree with them. It is just old Mother Nature for men to buy freely when buying is made easy.

The opinion is strongly expressed that the American nation is badly over-sold right now, and getting in deeper all the time, as newer and more alluring methods of installment payments are offered.

"Take it with you and pay for it as you use it", is one of the most fascinating sales talks that has been devised since the old boy with the forked tail sold app'les in the Garden of Eden.

We are inclined to believe that there is great truth in the disparaging campaign that there is being waged against the further growth of the installment selling situation.

But there is one commodity to which these remarks do NOT apply, and that commodity is HOME and other useful BUILDINGS. As a matter of fact, while the financiers are making tvar on increased installment selling, all agencies are continuing to boost the American HOME as the best of investments, and the growth of HOME O.WNERSHIP as a demonstration of development along the lines of both prosperity and patriotism.

The commodity that is worn out, or paid for on the in-stallment plan, works by the exact amount paid.

badly depreciated in value by the time it is a hardship on the buyer, and leaves him poorer

But the man who buys a HOME and buys it wisely, is storing away an investment, an asset, a thing that should grow in value, and a guarantee of future safety for his family. Every nickle he puts into a well purchased HOME, is a safe and sound investment, considered from any possible viewpoint.

The trouble is that the new installment opportunity is selling huge quantities of things which are more or less worthless from an investment viewpoint, and the purchase of which interferes with genuine investments such as HOMES and other valuable buildings offer.

Every time you sell a man a H,OME and make it possible for him to purchase and pay for that HOME, you are snatching him out of the hands of the myriads who are making it easy for him to buy things that rank as EXPENSES rather than INVESTMENTS, and you are adding to the stability and prosperity and safety of the nation.

All agencies, banking and otherwi'se, will gladly agree that a well built, well purchased HOME, is a well placed rock in the foundations of national prosperity and safety.

-' this lumber has never been out of the hands of the McCormick organization

NO one will wake up one fine day to find the distribution problem solved. However, as organizations dealing in basic commodities caffy out their objectives as McCortnick is doing, th" problem of distribution will consistently solve itself.

Today timber is being logged on McCormick tracrs, brought to the mills on McCormick railroads, milled, loaded on McCormick vessels and brought to the docks of Califotnia, Florida and the length of the Atlantic Coast.

Thus a saving is being effected, a service is being rendered. They are refected in the prices at which goo4 lumber can be sold. This is the policy and the foundation upon which this 2Syear old business was built.

Retailers in the Middle Vest can take of McC.onnick service through our well-equipped rail departmeni. our representatives now cover most of the Northwest, Middle Vest and North C,entral states. I,et us quote you on yard stock, either mixed or straight cars.

Winchester Bay Lumber Company Has Up-To-Date Plant at Reedsport, Oregon

Considerable improvements have been carried out by the \\rinchester Bay Lumber Co. at their plant at Reedsport, Ore., during the last few months. These include the addition of two Sterling water-tube boilers, which give an additional 1000 rated horse power, and five Moore moist air kilns, giving a battery of eight kilns. Additional docks ard sheds have also been built, making it possible to carry much larger stocks and give better service to the trade.

The mill equipment consists of 1O inch band head saw, carriage band resaw, vertical roller resaw, automatic trimmers, edgers, etc., capacity of mill being 150,000 feet in eight hours. There is also a vertical resaw in the planing mill for special resawing and marufacture of bevel siding.

The Winchester Bay Company has a large body of Spruce timber on ,Winchester Bay, and new logging camps have just been opened up there which assure the mill an ample supply of timber for a long time to come. The mill has been cutting spruce all this year and expect to continue on this wood for the balance of the year, possibly cutting a little Fir from time to time. Next year it is expected that about half of the cut will be Fir, with a little Hemlock.

John Kiernan is president of the company; Russell J. Hubbard, vice president and general manager, and Allen C. Hemphill is sales manager.

Colorado Lumber Company Buys California Timber

West Coast Lumber Trade Extension Bureau News

Election of officers and a detailed discussion of the trade promotion and advertising campaign of the West Coast Lumber Trade Extension Bureau characterized the rneeting of directors held at Longview, Washington.

Completing the legal organization of the Bureau, these officers were elected: president, John D. Tennant, vice president and manager, I,ong-Bell Lumber Company; vice president, George B. Long, president, Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Tacoma, Washington; secretary, Henry Schott; treasurer, R. W. Vinnedge, president, North Bend Lumber Company, North Bend, Washington.

In addition to the above officers, directors of the Bureau are: Ralph H. Burnside, president, Willapa Lumber Company, Portland, Oregon; C. D. Johnson, president, C. D. ,Johnson tl'umber Company, Portland; Maj. 'Everett G. Griggs, president, St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Company, Tacoma; Myron C. Woodward, president, Silver Falls Timber Company, Silverton, Oregon.

The work of the Bureau, particularly with regard to the trade promotion and advertising, was gone over in detail and plans for further extension of this work were approved. A decidedly responsive attitude was reported, both on the part of the retail dealers throughout the country and_also by the press. Apparently there is an active interest generally in the West Coast Lumber Trade Extension Bureau

plans for increasing the public's interest in west coast woods.

Hundreds of retail lumber dealers have tied in with the general campaign by using the first of the "Retail Dealer Tie-Up Ads," mat of which was furnished by the Bureau. Lumbermen representing every lumber-using section of the United States, have written for the Douglas fir booklet and asked for further infor,mation on West Coast woods. In addition, inquiries have already been received from a large number of architects, contractors, engineers, and representatives of wood working plants and manufacturers of wood oroducts.

- Not the least satisfactory development of the enfire campaign is the active cooperation on the part of manufacturers, lumber.executives, and salesmen, in spreading the true gospel of the 'West Coast lumber industry. A number of manufacturers have asked to have their principal executives put on the direct mailing list for all material from the Buriau and to have special publicity and advertising information go to principal salesmen and selling office.

A number of companies have also started the practice of sending out a weekly or semi-rnonthly sales ,letter to their entire force, calling attention to the progress of the Bureau campaign and thereby "hooking in" closely with the national program.

In addition, the general public appears to be taking an active interest in'learning more about "America's permanent lu'mber sgpply" on the west coast. Forty-eight states and Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Hawaii, and Canil Z6ne are repre- sented in the many inquiries received up to date by the Bu.reau.

Bloedel-Donovan Cuts Down

Believing that the underlying causes of present lumber difficulties lie in over-production, and especially log production on Puget Sound and the Columbia River, J. H. Bloedel, president of the Bloedel-Donovan Lumber Mills of Bellingham, Washington, has just announced the following shut-down schedule for his company:

The Saxon logging camp will be shut down completely from June lst to September lst. This camp operates two high lead units, logging about 8,000,000 feet per month.

The Clallam County camps, located at Beaver and Sekiu, operating seven sides and producing 16,00O,000 feet of logs per month, will shut down July 1st until September 1st.

These shut-downs will mean an approximate reduction in output of 56,000,00O feet of logs.

The Bellingham Bay mill will shut down completely for three weeks from July lst to July 21st.

The Skykomish mill will shut down for two weeks from July 2nd to July 19th.

The Larson plant will continue to operate.

Wrong Name

The advertisement appearing June lst, on page 19, contained an erroneous signature, by error.

The signatures showing were those of two of the companies included in the consolidation of all the Pickering interests as announced on page 22 in the May 15th issue. As stated in that anouncement, all of the Pickering enterpriseg have been consolidated and are now owned and operated under the name, Pickering Lumber Comppny.

Buildins Homes

(A splendid home owning editorial from The l{ouston Chronicle.) This is the greatest home owning country in the world, yet even here 54 per cent of the population live in rented places.

The owner of a home, who can transmit it to his family by devise, or that will descend to it according to the law of inheritance, has an immediate and direct interest in social peace and order and economic and industrial prosperity.

He is a better citizen beiause he is a stockholder in that great informally organized corporation known as human society.

He has the sense of ownership, ihe consciousness of possession of that which cannot be taken from him or his family when he is stricken by the blows of adverse fortune.

He becomes imbtred with a spirit of patriotism because he has something to defend and protect.

Somebody has very aptly said that "No man is going to fight for a boarding house", but any man will fight for his castle, of which a great English orator once said: "Though it be but a hut through which the winds of heaven may sweep at will, the King dare not enter without the owner's consenttt.

The various home building organizations scattered

throughout the United States, while organized for profit earning, may be truly said to blend benevolence and business.

They are aiding people to get homes, who could never get them in any other way, and every home owner is an added asset to the sum total of cornmunity, social, and moral values.

He is another agency of conservatism and stability. The fewer tenants and landlords there are in any communtiy, the greater is the economic strength, and the more assured its peace and order.

The late William McKinley, when President of the United States, commended in strong terms "the little savings in building and loan associations", and President Coolidge says such accounts "bring home to the people the lesson of thrift and the desireability of home ownershipl, and no greater contribution could be made to the stability of the nation".

POIST OFFICE DELIVERS LETTER ADDRESSED ..D FIR,'' PORTLAND, OREGON

A certain lumber dealer in New York state became aware that a firm in Portland, Ore. shipped some very fine lumber trade-marked "D FIR," and wishing to get a car of this lumber did not trouble to get further particulars of the address, but addressed his letter, "D FIR," Portland, Ore. The Post Office delivered this letter without anv delay to the Duncan Lumber Company at Portland, the -registered owners of this well-known trade mark.

The Duncan Lumber Co has recently moved to new quarters at 633 to 638 Pacific Building, Portland, Ore.

BIRD LIKES LONGVIEW FORD

Ever since the Little Red Hen, the Wise Old Owl, and several others of the feathered family have starred before audiences, both young and old, there have been various and sundry tales told of them. But the Pacific Northwest has a just claim to a "believe it or not" by virtue of the latest headliner in this famous feathered family.

According to James O'Malley of Longview, Wn., a rnother bird built a nest under the front seat of his Ford car, between the gas tank and the side, and forthwith left three eggs. But that is not retrarkable.

Mr. O'Malley, in the same breath, says while the car was parked in The Long-Bell Lumber Company's West Fir mill parkingparking ground, the mother bird again visited the nest and increased the eggs to four, despite the fact the car was parked in an entirely different place than where the other eggs were laid.

The question arises how the mother bird picks out the proper car with her migratory nest? Mr. O'\,talley says your guess is as good as his.

Almost every type ofbuilding can use MOISTITE, the new waterproof sheathing. This "t "*" the vast mlrket and the opportunityofthe lumber yard dealer.

Architects, contractors and builders recognize in MOISTITE the kind of waterproof building paper they have been waiting for, as it fills the bill of efficiency and economy.

MOISTITE is used between walls, under floors and under all exterior surfaces. It is particularly adaptable for use with stucco. AsMOISTITE will not smut oi buckle, it is ideal for use under hardwood foors.

It is strong and pliable-it is vermin proof, germ proof and sanitary.

Here is your chance to cash in on a better sheathing with larger profits. Call or write the nearest division for samples of MOISTITE, descriptive literatureand other informationwhich shows how the lumber merchant can procure these dealer helps.

Romance Turns Back Sierra's Historic Page

Who that loves a tale of adventure does not stir at the epic oI the '49ers? Who that gains his livelihood lrom the trees is not enthralled by the glory oI the whispering forest?

For him, this scene is drama. It has caught the vital romance of gold rush days amid an inspiring setting of timbered grandeur.

No studied stage setting this, but a chance glimpse telling us the magnetic spirit oI the old West lives, virulent, today.

Yet what has this to do with modern sawmills;

what connection with roaring planers or ltnnber shipments? Only that upon these very lands, traversed by this picturesque pack train, gold was first discovered in'49. And these same lands, in thousands of acres, supply the prime Sierra Mountain grown California White and Sugar Pine Ior our mills at Standard and Tuolumne, CaliI.

Ours is Gold Medal Quality lumber from the land oI gold, with value that assays high in every piece-and ghostsof thrilling adventure in every car. May we quote?

Florida Pine Makers Spending a Dollar a Thousand to Promote Use of Their Wood

Something of a record in lurnber exploitation har just been ertablished in Florida, whefe an organization of Long Leaf Pine manufacturerr in South. ern Florida have grouped themselves together in an essociation created for the prrpos€ of exploiting the merits and increaring t{re use of their wood, and are spending one dolliar per thousand on t{le production of their mernber rnills, for that pwpoae.

Thir is by far the highect appropriatio,n ever rnade for tte advertising of any pine. It has been equalled only once in the hirtory of any wood, and that was by the Southern Cyprea Manufacturers Association, nihen ttrey appropriated one dollar per thourand on production for advertising purpooer. They did not continue this permanently, but carried at that level for a long time.

Thir percentage of eelling cost for advertiaing purposer would create no finore in rnany other com. moditiec, but in the lumber line it ir most remarkable. It has required the bigge* cort of, effort to get lrnnbermen gsnerdly to see the wisdom of appro-

priating even five cents a thousand for advertising purttoses, although here and the,re groupe have paid as high as twenty-five cents per thousand for pubIicity pr4oset.

A mill rnan will cee the price of his stock decline $5 per thousand in a mont{r's time, and think little of it, but if someone rulc him to give twenty-five cents a thousand for the pupos€ of stabilizing markets and preventing ruch declines, he thinks the fellow is mentally touched. Fo,r such is the vision of the lumber industrn and has always been.

In tte last fe*v years a momentouc change in the aftitude of the average lumber manrfactrrer towards doing rometlring to help create e market for his product has changed greatly, and rnost alsc ciations are now doing more or lees work and spend- ing more or letr effort and money to make people ure their product.

Thir change ie well evidenced in this dollar per thousand appropriation of tfiere Florida producerr. They ere doing practically all of their exploitation work in their home territory.

"Jock" A Lumber Jack

While seated in a Rotary meeting years ago, my friend James Savery, of Long Beach, California, told me a story.

Were you ever in a lumber camp in the Great Northwest -up in one of nature's nunneries-up where the sanctity of silence reigns-up where the deep snow rounds every stump and the hills and va'lleys look like ivory? Sometimes I think a Winter lumber camp offers a silence more 'musical than song-a silence more forceful than speech.

In the rvinter woods of a lumber camp each shivering stem is covered with crystals. The whole world seems shut out, and every man in the cam.p seems shut in-shut in the privacy of an uncharted domain.

Then there are what folks call the "lumber iacks." and these men are a ,queer lot; but you know that every human heart is human.

The gist of the story was told something like this: 'Jock," a lumber jack, was an im'provident, but industrious, round and ready. Not a man in the camp had a 'line on his personal history, but all seemed to feel that down deep in this man was a soul that stood raised to meet some great emergency.

One day, when the weather was cruel cold-one of those days that the sun turns its face away and the biting frost sends its silver arrow through a heavy s'weater-one day, 1 shalp ax struck a lumber jack's leg, slashed away the flesh for more than a foot and cut deep until it slivered the bone.

Soon the untarnished crystal carpet of snow was covered with the blood of the lumber jack. The lumber jack w'as just a boy-somebody's boy. He must be hurried to the hospital a hundred miles away

The accident meant that every man in camp must "chip

and every man did "potry up" but "Jock."

"]ock" had no m6nev. 'He was-brokc "Jock' bod

in"-that all must pay part of the expense at the hospital, ^-l ^..^--- *^^ ):a aa-^-^--,-,r, L ,' ttt t st money. He was broke, but he had rich red. blood. '|Jo9kl' had little sympathy to offer, but he had a body covered with healthy skin; and is the long sled started with the iniured bov. the tabernacle of trees ichoed these injured boy, tabernacle of trees ichoed these words of "Jock": "This ,lad can have what hide he wants J ---' from me and all the blood mv heart will spare."

Here we have from the frbzen Northwist a lesson thaL fulfills the ideal of human greatness.

California Product Wins Favor Far Afield

Locally the Hipolito Company is well known for the splendi4 screen doors and window screens they manufacture. Yet one would hardly expect to find their product enjoying a very active sale as far away as Dervei, Colorado. Evidence of this ii found in the ,May issue'of the Denver Jobber, in which the inside front cover was taken by McPhee and l\4cGinnity, building material jobbers of Denver, to advertise the Los Angeles-rnade Hipoiito Screen Doors for which they are distributors in Denver.

A small news item in itself, perhaps, but interesting to the lumber trade as pointing the way to future business dlvelop- ment. As has often been pointed out through these col. umns, lumber products are just as susceptible to advertising lnd modern merchandising methods as any other commodity, and the remarkable success of the Hipoiito Company in merchandising and advertising their screen doors is bnci again proof of this contention.

Wholesalers and jobbers of lumber products are rapidly realizing the truth of the oft repeated editorial comrneni, and McPhee and McGinnity of Denver are to be congratulated on their forward and progressive step.

Some Suggestions for Selling

Put yourself in the place of the prospect and extend to him the welcome, the encouragement, and the information that you would wish for were you in his place, and he in your place.

Forget anxiety to sell.

Remember that people buy only from selfish motives.

Determine what selfish motives would prompt the purchase of YOUR goods by THIS

man.

Emphasize the features of the that would satisfy these motives.

Do it promptly, cheerfully, and

goods you have to offer

courteously.

ttNorthe house hasntt (settledt u only

AME old story. Solid foundation; heavv frame; best of lumber, and yet the builder is slarnmed with re' marks like, "the house has setfled." No builder can afford to have it said that his construction and materials are faulty. But people often think it when doors get stuck.

The truth is that comrnon doors are affected by changing conditions of atmosphere-in bath rooms, halls, closetsrkitchens and outside exposures. A vivid instance was described by Myers Bros., building contractors of Los Angeles."We had an experience," they stated, "with doors that sgrlit and warped. We had to replace fourteen of them. The house was closed up in damp weather. When the sun came out it split all fourteen doors." Such troubles are unknown to Lam' inex doors. Not only are the Panels rigidly built up of ply.wood, united lvith a lvaterproof cement that is stronger than the wood itself,but the

stiles and rails are built.up on a core of interlocking blocks,with the grain crossed in adjoining sections. All joints are w-elded with the same amaz' ingly strong cement. Bttilt,up parts are then placed under tren-rendous hydraulic pressure for 24 hours. National advertising has madc l-aminex known to the public. And millions of Laminex doors in use throughout the United States, are helping realtors and builders to sell their houses. Owing to imrnense production, Laminex doors sell at ordinary door prices.

Why Laminex has created a new standard of door merchandisitrg..

Olac strck-fasa arlrln,oetcr fot elrc rerr;iler

Thcre davs the modern merchant concentrates his selling on lines that sell. No longer does he handle the line of every Tom, Dick and Harry. He confines his investmenr to fast moving merchandis; gives orstomets what they want; keeps hisstock rurning. Laminex doors are known to the Arne rican people. Advertising has broadcasted their rcputation to your customers.

No tro*bfe uith dnorc thot otc watped in ttcnsit

Builders often complain that doors are already warped when delivered on the job. Damp warehouses, cars and trucks; moisture at shipping points. The scientifc structure of Laminex doors keeps them square, straight and rigid undcr all imaginable conditions. Test after tesr has proved this.

No morc watPia,g fton dcmPlress in roclls

Laminex givcs the lumbcr and building material merchant a door that never btings complaints duc to warping on the job. Laminex doors,by virtue oftheir builtup constru.ction, are immune from the effects of damp plastcr and all conditions that warp common doors. Millions of Laminex doors in usc; not one has warped.

LAMENEX Oaarantee

A world of meaning in those three words. A satisfied cus. tomer is the best advertisement; the best booster.

Todayts critical customer-whether he be home buyer or home builder-is not satisfi.ed with anything less than su. preme value for his money. If he can't get it at one place he will go elsewhere. Competition has taught him to go "shopping.t'

For generations men had slavishly followed along set ideas in buying doorsno protectionno mark of the maker-no recourse in case of defects. Buying a door was thought to be a rather trivial matter as long as dimen. sions and design were a$ ordered. If the door was all right up to the time of delivery on the job, that was suftcientWhat happened thereafter was no concern of thb builder or door merchant. But the injured party- the home owner thought di{ferently. And where was the satisfied customer?

The change came thiee years ago. The introduction of Laminex doors was a revolutionary advance in door merchandising. It was simply the application of a manufac. turing and marketing principle, tried and proven true in practically every other industry. First, a radical improve. ment in the method of making doors. Then trade,marking them,guaranteeing them and advertising them Nationally.

The public knows; lumber and building supply men know; contractors, builders, carpenters and architects know that the guarantee, which is here reproduced, is backed by all the resources of the world's largest door manufacturer.

Southern Forests Closed to Smoking

On account of the increasing fire danger, due to the rapid drying out of grass and undergrowth and the large number of visitors to the mountains, District Forester S. B. Show of the United States Forest Service headquarters in San Francisco, announces the following closure orders in the national forests of southern California:

EFFECTIVE JUNE 1

Angeles and Santa Barbara National Forests, including the Monterey Division of the latter forest, closed to smoking except at improved camp grounds or improved places of habitation.

Devils Canyon and Plunge Creek in the San Bernardino National Forlst closed to lll travel, except urder permit from the Forest Service. No permits required by actual settlers going to and from their homes.

The following canyons in the ,San Bernardino National Forest are closed to the building of camp or picnic fires:

EFFECTIVE JUNE 15.

Cleveland and San Bernardino National Forests closed to smoking except at improved camp grounds and improved places of habitation.

These closure orders apply only to Government lands within the National Forests. A nu'mber of courties in southern California have, however, passed similar smoking and camp fire ordinances, ap,plicable to all lands within the countles,

The Time to Get Out of Line

There is only one time when a man should deliberately get out of line, and that is when the crowd is too slow t-o wade through.

When you find yourself in that fix, just sidestep a few feet, throw her in high, and get past the sluggards.

You will find that happening very frequently in your business life if you are really going and getting somewhere.

If you see that your gang lacks ambition, pep, speed, enthusiasm, and initiative, and you find that you cant get them up to YOUR speed-then sidestep that ciowd and get out where you can hit the ball and step with the live ones.It i,s lack of {oing that keeps ,men from arriving where they belong. "Wait a minute" is the watch-word of the sluggard.

Don't step ON anyone. Just step past them, or over them. But if they are slowing YOU up, get past them.

SUGAR PINE fo, Permanence

Since the "D ays of'4)" Sugar Pine has been known as California's most useful and durable wood

Cabins of the gold miners, the relay posts of the stagelines,homes of the eadyranchets, were roofed and sided with Sugar Pine. These sturdy pioneers chose Sugar Pine for protection from the deep winter snows and the severe summer storms of the mountains, because Sugar Pine gives permanent shelter. Long-lived Sugar Pine assured tight roofs and sides, while the soft, straight, uniform grain lightened the labor of cutting and fitting shakes and siding.

Your customers can profit by the expetience of the pioneers.'When you sell them Sugar Pine, you sell a lumber that reduces labor and increases the acortacy of joinery. And you sell them a lumber that is dtrable-that. stands the test of time.

SOMIETHING MORE

The other day a member of a lumbermen's weekly luncheon club registered a rather common complaint. lle stated that he could not eat such a substantial luncheon-and that a dollar was about twice as much as he felt he should spend for food at noon.

But think a moment ! If we are fair in giving credit where credit is due, we should mentally cut that luncheon dollar at least four ways. If the above-illustration does not coincide with your personal ideas, you can 'roll your own', but it will at least start a train of thought that ii bound to occur to all of us at some time or another.

Segment No. 1 : Most of us have to eat luncheon somewhere and according to our appetities and whether *e eai at a quick lunch counter or a high priced restaurant, we are bound to spend from 25c on up for food and service. In spite of the fact that at most Weekly Luncheon Clubs the food service is usually well cooked and served; that we eat it qurrounded by our friends, in an atmosphere of happiness and good-fellowship-the FOOD segment of that dbilar is the smallest part of it. There is something more !

Segment No. 2: Surely the excellent entertainment pro- vided by most up-to-date luncheon clubs is worth a ceriain portion of that dollar. ,We have enjoyed entertainment ,programs in many clubs that were well worth the whole dojlar. and have all spent many a dollar for less enjoyable hours.

Segment No..,3 : There is the instructive part of the program to consider. The ideas and experiences of feilow lumbermen and those of the speakers onihe various subjects presented in these meetings. We are all too close to our business. We need new'slants'-nsq; ideas-to iolt us out of the ruts. The weekly luncheons are a prolifii source of new ideas-with an opportunity to check -up and compare with the other fellows in the industry,

Segmert No. 4: Friends, after allj are the greatest asset any man can posses.s. To have a friend you must go half way.to 'meet him. Some men become too big or too busy making money to take an hour off once a week to mix witir the other fellows in their industry, and then some of thern wonder why th_ejr list of friends is dwindling away.

As George Fforace Lorimer says, ,,It's- good to h"ue moqey and the things that money can buy. bui it,s good too, to check up once,in a while to make suie that yoi haven'f lo-st the things that money CAN'T buy." The privilege of exposing yourself to the 'friendship germs'- floatiis around-your luncheon club is worth the biggest slice of thE price of admission. Try it out !-Roy A. Dailey.

"Here's the Story on DroP Sidings"

AA Patternt Stondard Sizet Gradet

Ar-r standard drop and novelty siding patterns are produced in these fine, Soft-textured woods. I might say "reproduced," for it takes a clean cutiing, splinterless wood to reproducc thi coirtours, lines and curvts of a nice drop siding design.

Both tongue and groo-ve, and ship lap patterns are mawfactured, and tney fit when put up, and stay wherc they're Dut, without warping or end shrinkin'g. And you don-'t iee nail splits, either.

California Pine drop or novelry sidings come in 4,6, anil 8 inch widths, so-metimes even in 10 and 12 inch, from some of our mills. Made from inch lumber, they produce sturdy, durable side walls,Iingths run 8foot and,up, in accordance ivith standard gface.

Dron sidines are made from select ,nd c6mmott"erades of California Pine lumber, but "usually the commoo grades are employed, because they have excellenC values. for milling smoothly, the knots being inconspicuous in color, and mill without roughine or tearing the grain. Knots in any wSod shoul{be giien a coat of shellac before painting lhe building.

The location, appearance and number of knots in drbP sidings may bc determined by the grade characteristics of No.'2 comiron and better, also No. 3 and No. 4 common lumber srades in-California Pines.

(Jtet "The select and better grades prove excellent for use in homes and thc hisher class buildinqs.

(Stockton Record, 5-2t-26>

An exact copy of thc famous Seattle totem pole was erected this morning at the Fisher Bros. Lumber and Mill Co. on Wilson Way.

The pole is madc of the same material and with the same carvings as the-world-known pole in Seattlc and only difrers in that it,is just half size. The Siockton pole is 35 feet high and 2 fect in cir' cumference.

A. H. Fisher, one of the members of thc firm of Fisher Bros., conceived the idea of erecting the totcm pole in Stockton somc years ago. He had made a visit to Seattle and had admired the pole there. Some time after he returned to this city he secured the large cedar pole from Alaska, the sam€ sort of stick that was used by the Indians in making the original pole, and for the l,ast four years the pole has been weathering in the local lumber yard.

Several photographs were secured showing the carvings on thc pole at Seattle and the work of making the reproduction was turned over to George W. Ingersoll, well-known local boat builder and wood worker. The work of carving the pole was finished only yesterday.

Origin of Totem Poles

Totem poles, as far as can be learned, are a sort of family history or "glorification" used by certain Indian tribes in the North-Siwashes and others-and are also an article of veneration. fn the Seattle pole, as copied here, is the history of one certain family, showing its descent from the eagle, which appears to have been venerated highly by the tribe.

Figures Carved on Pole

The first section of the pole, near the ground, is carved to represent an eagle, but with the face of a man. The next section up is supposed to bc a whalg head down, with a large fin sticking out and with his tail curved over his back.

Next comes a rav€n and above him a beaver. Sti[ higher is a frog.

Above this is a representation of a human being, shown crouched and holding a child upside down to its chest. Topping the pole is an eagle holding a fish in his mouth.

Seattle's Totem Pole

Little authentic knowledge exists of the exact moaning or significance of the di.fferent characters on the poles-historians differ, and the Indians say vcry little about what they mean.

The original of thc local pole, the one located now at Seattle, was discovered on one of thc Tongass islands, southcast of Alaska, by a party of Seattle business men in 1899.

It, too, was carved from a einglc tree by the tribe of Indians that inhabited the island on which it was found. The Seattle people are said to have "secured" it and later presented it to the city of Seattle, where it now decorates onc of thc squares in the heart of the city. Most dircctions in Seattle are given "from the totcm pole" and rnost of thc things to see in that city are located by its aid. "Go to the totem pole," the visitor is told, "and then go east" or "go wesg" as tfie case may be.

The local men hope to make the pole here a similar landmark. It will, they say, last many, many years, as it is built of cedar.

C.1D. Johnson Lumber Co. Purchase Steamer for California Trade

F. W. S. Locke, San Francisco manager of the C. D. Johnson Lumber Co., announces that they have purchased the steamer Lake Superior and have renamed her the "C. D. Johnson III". The steamer has been converted into an oil burner, with the latest type of friction winches, and new booms and masts have been installed. In every respect, it will be a sister ship of the "Robert Johnson", which carried into the California market last year over 30 million feet of lumber. With the acquisition of the "C. D. Johnson IfI", Mr. Locke states that his company will be in a position to better serve the California trade.

"The Oldest Homes are Built of Wood"

We know a lumberman who alwayE m€Dtions in his advertising, his lettera, etc., this fact:

'The oldest homes in America are built of wood.t'

There is a thought that EVERY building merchant can use to good advantage, if he will just remember it.

How frequendy, in trying to sell a home to a prospective customer, he goes up against fie argument, "I wamt to build a PERMANENT home.t'

How easy it is to say: "My good friend, the oldest homes in America today are built entinely of wood, and you can build yourself a wooden home just exactly as durable as those wonderful lrornes tlrat have becorne in ma,ny carer, national beauty e1rcta.tt

Becarue he CAN. And YOU can sell him the material

You don't have to lnow any other material And thir artide is not intended for a knoclg It is cimply a good thought for the buildhg nerchant to remember in booating hir goodand hir retvice.

BGginning with Washington's wonderful

home of Mt Vernon, the old colonial portions of the country are weII dotted with wooden homes many generations old, that are beautiful to look at, and in wonderful state of preserra, tion.

Good wood, well selected, well placed upon good foundations, well constructed, and covered with a good roof, will last as long as any home is desired to last.

There is a vast difference between Mt. Vernon materials and construction, and those of the secalled "Jerry-built" homes that are getting too common today.

But it is iuat aE easy-much easier in factto get good materials a,rrd good workmanship than it was in Washingtonts time. You can gel structural materials just as stout and etrcng; riding and ouside trim jurt as lasting and weatlrer-resigting; roofs that will stand the straim and stresses of time and weather for generations. You can't get them for the rame money that you can the "'Jerry-builttt houlee, but if you want to build for permanence in wood, it can certainly be done as well now ar in C,olonial days.

That thought is worth remembering.

Does the Fact That You Have Made Money Prove That You Are Right?

C,onfucius said: t'To win, proves your 4qength, not the righteousness of your cauEe. That is only proven by the Heaven in your heart".

We thought of that the other day when we heard Eome retail lumbermen discussing a certain retailer of lumber who in his business operations excludes all modern metho& and ideas and ideals of merchandising, and runs his business on exactly the same lines that it waE run thirty years ago.

The crowd admitted that he had modernized his business not in the least, that while the whole world had progressed and gone ahea4 while all merchants and all merchandising in all other lines had been keeping up with the demands of the times, tfiig man's business had stayed juat exactly like it was in the good old horce, boggy, and itage coach davs. That was tlre conseneus of opinion. His idea in business is to keep down expenrer, sell for a fair price when peoph rvant building material, give them good soo& for trheir money, and collect the bins. Nothing mone.

t'But nemember,tt said one of the men in trhe crowd who war tElking it over, 'tre has always made nxrney in hic businegstt. And that fact seemed to imprese their mindE aa'a poasible argument in favor of unreconstructed lumber operations of the old school.

WEST COAST LUMBERMEN HEAR REPORT OF TRADE EXTENSION WORK AND ENDORSE RECOMMENDATIONS O F DELEGATION TO AMERICAN LUMBER STANDARDIZATION CONFERENCE

J. D. Tennant, vice-president of the I,ong-Bell Lumber Co., and Henry Schott, manager of the Westtoast Lumber Trade Extension Bureau, told the 150 lumber manufacturers assembled at the meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, held at Portland, June .4, of the satisfactory results obtained by the bureau in the wav of inquiries from the advertising which had been started less than a month. Mr. Schott said 1530 inquiries had been received up to date for the booklet on Douglas Fir, and these were still coming

by grinding otlrerq down, is a failure, regardless of his bank account.

The lumberman who has made money by grving his trade as little as he can for their money, is a failure as a lumber merchant, regardless of how Dun rates him.

And that doesntt necessarily mean that he has given them little for their money in the point of pricee on his goods. He may stand for a square deal in stock prices, and be Ecrupulously honest in the letter of his business operations.

But how about his townspeople? How about his town, and hir aelling district? Doesntt he owe something to them more than "honegt goods at honeet pricestt? Doesntt a fair interpretation of the Crolden Rule mean more than common honetty, and a wagon yard?

Just because he ia willing to ctand still and run the sarne sort of business hG did a generation back, is no rearon why the people of hia town should be wi[ing to stand sti[ with him. In every other line they are modernizing. In everything tlrey do in their lives the world ia progressing rapidly, fo"gtng ahead every day. Is it fair that they should be deprived of the sort of building rervice ot'iher towns are getting, jud becauge this man happ"tn to be in their midst?

Not only should we do to otihers aE we would have them do to us, but we should do to otherg as others would do to tlrem, if we would get out of the way and give them a chance.

I heand a merchant aay of the man here discussed at one time: "The place where he h*_ " yard always has room for a new yard, he leaves so much undonet'. And THAT, it seemE, is the answer.

in at the rate of 2O0 a day. Trvo hundred out of the first 700 were from lumbermen from Texas and other Southern states, rvhich have been using other woods, but realize that they will be using a lot of Fir in the future.

Mr. Tennant made an earnest appeal to all those Association members who had not yet given support to the bureau to do so without delay. Five field men have been engaged, he said, and this number would be increased to 10, one of whom will be a press agent. The inquiries already received should convince manufacturers that there is a large field for trade promotion work, and it is necessary for each individual manufacturer to put his time, money and energy into this work.

Hilke Mechanical Pilers Reduce Yard

Piling Cost

A large number of the major lumber operations are adopting the high piling'method of air drying stock in their yard by use of mechanical lumber pilers. Many advantages are claimed for high piling, one of which is 'more rapid and uniform drying of the lumber in pile. Reports come from some of the operators doing high piling with the "Hilke" Mechanical Lumber Piler that the cost of piling has been greatly reduced by the use of these machines over former jack piling methods. This feature of cost cutting is the principal reason why so many operators are turning to the mechanical piler, as in these days of low prices and high operating costs progressive managers are turning to any mechanical equi'pment which will reduce overhead costs.

It is claimed by the manufacturer of the "Hilke" piler that this,machine will show a direct saving in piling costs of from 30 to @/ol, which statement is doubtless startling to many "old timers" who are still proponents of jack piling.

When the "Hilke" Piler was first marketed many operators considered its main feature to be the conservation of yard space. As many rnills were not troubled by lack of space in their yard little attention was paid to the possi-

bility of reducing piling cost with this machine. As soon as the cost cutting feature of mechanical pilers became generally known many saw mills have installed them and are highly pleased with results'obtained.

Mechanical pilers are also gaining in popularity with the pilirg crelvs, as the work can be performed with very less physical exertion and they can double their working capacity without increase of effort.

The manufacturers of the "Hilke" Piler report that they can supply piling machines equipped with gasoline engine drive for use in yards that are not wired for electric operation. The rapid advance in popularity being made by mechanical high pilers is evidenced by the large number of reccnt sales of "Hilke" pilers as reported by the Murry Jacobs Cornpany, sales agent. Included among recent sales of this 'machine are the following plants:

DESERT MAY BUY WALL BOARD FOR INEAT INSULATION

Sale of carload of wallboard because of its ability to insulate against heat was reported by J. H. Clark, secretary and treasurer of the Buttress Manufacturing Company.

The purchaser was H. W. Eichbaum, who plans to use the wallboard in the construction of miners' cabins in Death Valley. Eichbaum decided on Buttress board after making exhaustive tests.

"Mr. Eichbaum told us he wanted the best wallboard on the market", said Clark, "because the heat in Death Valley is so terrific that cabins built of ordinary material are op- pressively hot. After a thorough investigation he selected our three-eighths inch board. 'Now that he has given our product such a generous endorsement. we expect to place large ,quantities in the mining towns that are springing up in the desert following the recent gold discoveries".

"My policy is to ,make better men. I have found it true that the better the man the better the salesman. Criticism always tends to put the man out of business.

"I play no favorites. My method is so simple and so successful I wonder that every salesmanager in the country does not catch the idea.

"Pep letters are an insult and the last resort of an incomDetent salesmanager. I believe in inspiration based on intelligent knowledge. I handle salesmen individua,lly, not ln groups.

Soaking Test Convinces

Interest has been aroused in lumber 'circles by reason of the well-known Laminex soaking test demonstrations which are being held throughout the United States and Canada.

Recently a Portland, Oregon wholesaie distributor for Laminex doors, soaked a stock two-panel Laminex door in a glass tank in their window continuously for forty days. The door, after being thoroughly inspected by recognized authorities, was found to be unharmed in any way, and capital was made of this fact in a letter enclosing a miniature photograph of the window containing the door in the glass tank to their complete mailing list of carpenters, contractors, builders, realtors, architects, and property owners.

Another test was recently held in Utica, New York, by the Kel.logg Company, well-known lumber dealers there. This company staged its demonstration with unusual thoroughness and in a very inrrpressive manner. It first took the trouble to make arrange,ments with the Mayor of the city of Utica and three leading architects of that city. These men constituted a committee of judges. They examined the door before it was placed in the tank of water, and later, that is, five days later, they again examined it thoroughly and certified to the fact that it was not harmed in any way. The Kellogg Company sent out announcements in printed form to everyone in their territory interested in building supplies. They also ran advertisements in the local newspapers and received a good deal of very favorable publicity in these newspapers. The material for the announcement folder and for newspaper ads was supplied by The Wheeler, Osgood Company, manufacturers of Laminex doors. A novel feature of the Kellogg test was the fact that they also offered cash prizes to the three persons guessing nearest to the exact amount of water by weight that the door absorbed during its five days' soaking. Printed blanks were provided upon which those who wished to guess placed their names and addresses and the amount of water that they guessed the door would absorb.

Another very sensational test of this kind was conducted in Toronto, Canada, by the Pannill Door Cornpany. In this case a stock Laminex door was soaked continuously 500 hours. They took at random a2It.6 in.x6 ft. 6 in. door from the warehouse, and on April 1, after being thoroughly examined by rMr. A. S. Boulton, of the Boulton Paint Works, Toronto, who certified that no paint, oils, or any other preparations were used as fillers before the door was placed in the tank of water.' It was weighed at the same time by the Toledo Scale Company of Toronto, and found to weigh exactly thirty-five pounds and eight ounces.

After continuously soaking for 500 hours, the door was found to weigh fifty-one pounds and four ounces, thereby taking up fifteen and three-.quarter pounds of water during the 500 hours of immersion. This distributor, like the one in Utica, offered a prize for'the one who would guess the nearest to the amount of water by weight which the door absorbed. In this case, the prize was a beautiful inlaid Mahogany Flus'h door. It was won by a builder who guessed fifteen pounds and thirteen ounces, thereby missing it by just one ounce.

Tests of this kind prove more conclusively than any words or written statement the intrinsic merit of any product. With this truism in mind, The Wheeler, Osgood Company, manufacturers of Laminex doors, are encouraging dealers all over the country to conduct these dramatic soaking tests. They are supplying all the material necessary, including ready-made ads and cuts and ready-made printed folders upon which they inrrprint the dealer's or the jobber's name without charge.

Can Steel Houses Compete With Wood ?

Washington, D. C., June 5.-Is the steel-frame dwelling an important contribution to the building art ? The case for it was iecently stated and widely published through the medium of an article by John Carroll Broderick, consulting architect of the demonstration house erected at Tarrytown. New York. Now comes a report on this same -house, frankly from the standpoint of a lumber construction engineer. F. P. Cartwright, consulting engineer of the National Lumber Manufacturers Absociation has made a technical leport of his impressions after carefully examining the Tar.rytown house in order to acquaint the lumber industry with-the degree of competition,'if any, it may expect t-o encounter from the fabricated steel in the field of dwelling house construction.

-The report concludes that, contrary to assertions, the cost of the Tarrytown house, (probably about $25,000 for a 7room house) is excessive as compared with wood. It finds no substantial advantages to offset increased cost, plus dis'advantages. Little, if anything, it says, is gained in space economy, as the standard steel-frame units are 3/a inches thick in the wall, whereas Standard wood studs are 35/s. These units do not permit of accommodating plumbing pipes within the walls, and special enclosure foitliem must be hand-built of metal lath and structural shapes.

_ As,to reputed fire-resistarce, Mr. Cartwright thinks it is largely il'lusory. "There is a tendency," he says, "to assume that the use of incombustible materials at solne point or another about a building necessarily increases its fire-safety. This mistake has been fostered by the promoters of incombustible building materia'ls, until a corr-ect statement of the essentia'l facts has become necessary, both to protect the public interest and those of competing materials adversely affected. The use of a steel frame for"a dwelling, unless of

typical fire-resistive construction, enaploying two-hour protection throughout for steel members and the usual cbmplete cut-off between floors, affords very little increase in fire-safety, and in fact will result in muih quicker collapse than would occur with a wood,frame structure on which a smal,l fraction of the additional cost had been spent for fire protection. From this viewpoint the steel frame does not reward the increased cost it occasions."

The steel frame of the Tarrytown tvDe has much less rigidity than a lumber frame, it appeais. The thin brick walls, interstices at masonry ioints and condensation on interior surfaces are very rit'to induce rust of the steel frames, it is urged. The lack of flexibility of the standarcl units, on which the theory of steel construction is founded, seriously interferes with economical constrnction, when it comes to adapting these units to unforeseen floor plan requirements. "It is apparent that the free location and connection of partitions to floor systems is an unsolved problem." Future alterations, even such minor ones as additional doors or windows, will be difficult and expensive. The walls of the house-so largely of heat-conducting metal -do not promise much economy. of fuel, but the loof of two-inch plank with insulation underneath should contribute greatly to that end.

The Tarrytown house, Mr. Cartwright states, is probably not a fair test of the steel-unit idea, the design nbt being thoroughly adapted to the ,materials; and, while he evi-de-$11'thinks that much better practice and more economy will develop with experience, he sees no chance whatever of reducing the cost to a par with Standard wood construction, notwithstanding the claims that the ready-made units would reduce erection costs. The cost of steel structural mate-rial per room is placed at $200 against $40 for wood, a difference that will require, Mr. Cartwright says, impossible labor economy to overcome, an end toward which-not even a start has been made in the Tarrytown house.

"Nothing is so easy as to cut pricel; -and nothing to n.A as tb get them back when once tliey have been pulled down.

"Any child can throw a glass of water on the foor; but all the wisest chemigt! of the world cannot pick that water uP.

"Who gets the benefit of price cutting?

"Nobody!
