j / Scores of visitors continue daily to inspect the exhibit of I f the Los Angeles hardwood distributors in the Metropolitan \.1/ Building, Fifth and Broad.way.

I This exhibit was installed last February by six of the leading wholesale ffrms of Los Angeles, and has been a mighty big success from the start. These ffrms are: E. J. Stanton & Son, C.'W. Bohnhoff, W. E. Cooper Irumber Co., Western Hard.wood Lumber Co., American Hard.wood. Co., and the California Panel & Veneer Co. It is in charge of F. C. Cook, an experienced hardwood. man who explains the numerous attractive details to the visitors.

The entrance to the exhibit is through an imposing doorway of old, black walnut from Tennessee, with ornamental pillasters and panels of the sane aristocratic wood.. The room itself is finished in panels of Central American and Philippine mahogany, with a fine display of doors and. panels of quarter sawed oak, straight grain oak and Southern figured gum. AII doors and panels are of natural or standard sizes.

The ceiling is paneled. in birch with a mahogany finish.

The floor is of lr/2-inch quartered oak, with parquetry effect, caused by a l-inch strip of walnut set 12 inches apart for a bord.er. This is intended as a hint for usage in dining rooms or living rooms with or without small rugs.

A convenient raek contains 80 panels of various species of commercial hardwood.s, showing the possibilities of the painter's brush. For example, some of the mahogany is finished Iike maple, some like fir and so on.

The exhibitors invite retail lumber clealers visiting in Los Angeles to call and look it over. Nothing is sold there, and no prices are quoted. It is instructive and. educational entirely and is doing a lot to interest people in hardwoods. Architects, engineers, contractors and prospective homebuilders also are invited.
