(Continued from Page 6) stock and merchandise a good line of paints. The reason is a practical one. A splendid board with a rotten coat of paint is, to all appearances, a rotten board.' If I were a dealer f would try to sell the paint to cover every board I sold, and I would likewise make it my business to see that the customer got a good painter to put the stuff on. (I sometimes wonder if the paint folks notice that we have written and published more original paint editorials than all the other lumber journals in history, combined?)

In the old, old d"y, irr*tnJ Pine industry in the South, there were just two lumber grades, Star and Common, the Star being the upper grade. Once a dealer had sold a man some alleged Star lumber, and the customer kicked on the grade. "That isn't Star lumber" said the excited customer; "look at those knots." "Silly" said the lumber dealer; "those aren't knots-those are Stars."

The street gag, "Has sex come to stay, or is it only a fad?" reminds me of the two grizzled cab drivers parked outside Madison Square Garden one night not long ago. The annual Automobile Show was going on inside, and outside the streets were a solid mass of motor vehicles. Pat puffed on his corncob pipe refectively for so,me time, and then remarked; "Corrigan, do you know what I think? I think the automobile has come to stay."

Keep smiling.' Pray daily that your sense of humor may not go back on you. Increase your daily investment in fellowship. Remember that animation, good cheer, and enthusiasm are very practical and tangible assets of modern business.

Tom Dreier used to tell th] ,lory ot the tumberjack in British Columbia who lives at peace with the world, and wants nothing but to stay that way. He makes his abode in a blossom-covered cottage on the edge of the forest. A rich visitor commiserated with him one day upon his poverty, urging him to go out into the world, and, with his fine intelligence, make something of himself. "What would I do with money?" asked the satisfied one. "With money," replied the visitor, "you could go places." "lfell !" exclaimed the lumberjack; "ain't I some place now?"

Bob Oggood Returns From-Long John E. Marshall's Picnic July 10 Eastern Sales Trip

Bob Osgood, sales manager for Cadwallader-Gibson Company, of Los Angeles, has just returned from a four months' sales trip that took him to all the hardwood consuming centers of the country from Grand Rapids, Michigan, to the Carolinas. In addition to his sales efforts he put in much of his time doing missionary work for Philippine Mahogany, and he reports that the hardwood users of the East demonstrate a constantly growing knowledge of and interest in the beautiful woods of the Philippines. He believes that when the up-swing comes again (and he believes that this is going to be a big lumber using year before it is over), Philippine will be merchandised among the furniture and other large eastern manufacturers in the face of a great deal less sales resistance than it ever has before.

While admitting that Philippine sales have been unusually slow of late, he thinks a big bulge in business in general and hardwoods in particular, is decidedly imminent.
