Hugh Ransom Visits California

Hugh Ransom, E. L. Bruce Co., Memphis, Tenn., oak flooring manufacturers, was a recent California visitor where he spent several days calling on the hardwood trade in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The conservative middle path between extreme modernism and slavish worship o1 period style in furniture is lsm slavrsh worsnrp ot perloc rn rurnrture rs pointed out in the booklet, "Furniture: Its Selection and the National Committee on

LJse," just issued through the Comn Wood Utilization of the Department of Commerc 'ood Utrltzatron ot Lommerce.

"Many creditable and beautiful pieces in the modern manner have been produced," it is pointed out. "Likewise a number of gaudy and absurd productions, showing absolute disregard for the principles of art, furnishing and decoration appeared. Only the future can tell whether the modern movement in furniture will appear as a manifestation of the surging, dynamic life of the first half of the 2oth century or whether it will be regarded as an uneconomical caprice."

On the other hand, it has been asserted by authorities, there are far more pieces, supposedly antique in origin in modern rooms than there were actual pieces in Colonial homes.

"During the early Colonial days, the population of this country at no time exceeded 3,500,000 persons. Of this number only a relatively small percentage could afford luxurious furniture, since as in all new countries, most people were busy building up their industries. The present stock of so-called antique pieces in use today would far exceed the entire supply of furniture in existence a century and a half ago."

Another erroneous idea concerning antiques is discussed: "IJnfortunately there are being hoarded today many hideous pieces of the Victorian era which the owners fondly believe to be antique. These really belong in a museum of atrocities. No nation could escape growing pains, and of these the mid-l9th century pieces of furniture are among the most painful."

The possessor of a genuine antique is advised to use it as the key piece in a room, and to surround it with reproductions of furniture of the same period so that harmony and the traditional spirit of the setting will be carried out.

"Furniture: Its Selection and IJse" may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. It sells for N cents a copy with specially.reduced prices prevailing on orders for 100 or more coPres.

K-B Sheathing Gets Wide Distribution

Announced early in April, Super K-B Sheathing, a new product of Pioneer Paper Company has already attained wide distribution and sale among the lumber dealers of the West, according to a statement riade by Mr. J. H. Plunkett, General Manager of the concern.

"The major reason for the immediate acceptance of Super K-B Sheathing by the lumber dealer" said Mr. Plunkett, "lies in its value to the dealer in opening new accounts. Unlike ordinary'sheathing paper, Super-K-B ofters an entirely new field of uses because of its waterproof proper- ties. Manufacturers of products that demand protection from moisture absorption are large users of this item, such as cereal, and soap flake manufacturers. Machinery, furniture, fruit, and building material shipments also offer a ready market for the material, as well as its use for the lining of cars."

Super K-B Sheathing is made with a core of Asphalt Emulsion, another product of the Pioneer Paper Company, which efiectively shuts out water penetration, according to the manufacturer, and its strength is two and one-half times that of ordinary sheathing paper of equal weight.

"Fences of Wood "

"Fences of Wood," reprinted from the journal, "Architecture," and obtainable upon request from the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, illustrates a number of different types of wood fences for the cottage home and the city or country estate. The architectural features of most of them are the same-a row of pickets nailed to two horizontal rails which in turn, are fastened to upright posts placed at equal intervals. Although the basic construction is simple, the finished effects are, in many instances, elaborate, yet the entire portfolio contains illustrations entirely "different" from the usual run of fences.

In the fifteen-page pamphlet there are seventy different types presented. The sepia finish on glazed paper adds an attractive feature and any lumber dealer should be glad to place the booklet in the hands of home owners or prospective builders. There are only nine hundred and forty-two eopies left and the first nine hundred and forty-two reQuests will receive prompt service.
