On This, Our Fifteenth Birthday We regret to announce that Something New Has Been Deducted

You folks, no doubt, remember when we announced another quality feature added to Sampson Screens-BRASS TACKS. \Ve were mighty proud of this extra value, eliminating rust sPots' loose mouldings and baggy wire. However, copper and brass have gone to va1-3lsng with a lot of our employes-so, for the duration, we will have to use steel nails. There is a lot of value left in Sampson plsdusls-you can still sell them with confidence.

is the most criticql oI all war materials.

This fcct explcins in c Iew words the continued pressure on the mills lor grecter production lor wcrr needs.

The term also includes industrial plants and business enterlrriscs that have an AA-5 X{RO preference rating (except Class I consumers ).

(n) "All other consumers" may place uncertified and unrated orders. "A1l other consumers" may place uncertiired and urrrated orders with lumber distributors and may acceprt clcliveries of lunrbcr' to the extent that distributors are permitted by directions to this order to supply lurnber for their needs. An uncertified and ltttratcd order is one whicli'bcars neilher a certificate nor a rating. Distributors

(o) How distributors get their lumber. -l'he follorving lrrovisions will govern thc nanner in which lurnber clistributors will get their lumber.

(1) Extension of customers' certified orders. Evcry clistributor may extend certified orders which hc has accepted and rcceive an amount of lumbcr from a .sawrnill or from anothcr distributor which is not more than the total acculnulated certified orrlers accepted (eitlier on past or future orders Ior tlcliverl-). There is no tinre limit rvithin which orders must be extendetl. A distributor rnay not extend the same certificcl order more than once. Certified orclcrs accepted by a distributor nust be kept in the distributor's liles, and the accumulated certilicates may be extended by using thc clistributor's certification provided for in paragraph (q) (3) of this order. 'Ihese provisions apply to both the certificates sholvn in paragraphs (c1; (1) an<t (<r) (2) below and to any certificate the War Food Administration says a farmer rnust use to get lurnltcr under this ordcr.

(2) War Production Board may authorize distributors to place certified but unrated orders. Any lumber clistributor n'ho lvas cngaged in tl.re business of selling lumber at wholesale or retail prior to N{a1- 1, 1941 and who hacl a lumber inventory at tliat date, ma1apply to the War Production Board on liorm WI'B-3813 for authorit-r. to place certified but uulated or<lers with salr.mills or otlter clistributors.

(3) Directions may also permit distributors to receive lumber. Lumber distributors rnay be authorized b1' directions issuecl utrder tlris order to receivc additional quantitics of lurnber. Lumber u'hich a distributor receivcs under a direction to this order u'ill bc subject to the provisions of tl"ris order atitl such conditions:ts ntal'be iniposed by the directions.

(p) Deliveries that distributors may make. IJnless a direction or directive issued under this order says a distributor nray cleliver lumber to a custorner or to another <listributor itr sornc other wa1', cleliveries rray be rnadc only on thc follou'ing t1'pcs of or<lcrs:

(1) Deliveries on certified and rated orders.

(3) Distributors who are also consumers. If a clistributor rvants to use lumber from his own <listributor stocli. he tnar- do so onlv by follovuing the same procedure he would follow in delivering lurnber to another consumer. If, as a consumer, he has the right to place a certifie d ordcr with someone e lse, he may treat the transfer from his clistributor stock as a delivery on a certilied order, but he must keep a record of it in his files and endorse the appropriatc certificate on the record.
