On Tuesday, Iuly 5, the Lumber & Sawmill Workers IJnion, A.F.L., went on strike at the big retail lumber yard of the Owens-Parks Lumber Company, in Los Angeles, and formed a picket li,ne about the entrances, which is still in effect as this is written. So far no violence of any sort has developed, on the contrary very good feeling being manifested between the officials of the company and the strikers.
So far no other yard in Los Angeles has been affected. The union evidently selected Owens-Parks as a test efiort. The question at issue is strictly the demand of the union for a closed shop. Owens-Parks has been paying the union wage scale, and neither wages nor working conditions are at stake in this strike, since it has been r1orking its men under exactly the same wage and working conditions as have the other major lumber operators in the city. The company is standing pat in its refusal to accept the closed shop, and the other major lumber yards in Los Angeles are standing as a solid unit with them. It is understood that the yards are unanimous in their attitude on this subject.
On July 72, Mr. Ray Melin, president of the Owens-Parks Lumber Company, made public the following statement concerning the week-old strike: "There is no justifiable reason for Owens-Parks to be singled out for this strike action. This company has been and still is paying exactly the same wages with identical working conditions as other major Los Angeles lumber dealers. The strike does not have the support of a majority of the industry's workers. No dispute exists as to wage scales and union leaders refused to consider even minor adjustments until we had agreed to preferential hiring, so the only issue is that of the closed shop.
"This agreement would prohibit our hiring any man not a union member with dues paid up. The company does not feel justified in becoming a party to a contract which in effect closes the door of employment and locks out many taxpaying American citizens for the special benefit
of a few. The strike is for the primary purpose of forcing us to accept individually a closed-shop program, ivhich chosen negotiators for the industry, representing our company and sorne forty other dealers, would not agree to collectively. Union leaders broke off negotiations and are now trying to reach this un-American goal of closed shop by calling strikes on dealers one by one. The strike against Owens-Parks is clearly discriminatory. Other lumber concerns still working employes affiliated with the striking union, and taking exactly the same position in favor of the open shop which we have, are permitted to continue operations unmolested."
Independent union men, augmented by other citizens, chased CIO unionists and organizers from Westwood, Calif., on July 13, climaxing a wage dispute which resulted in CIO unionists striking luly 7, at The Red River Lumber Company mill.
The plant was closed Monday, July 11, to prevent disturbances between workers and pickets when an estimated 1000 men, members of the Industrial Employes' IJnion which is recognized by the company and who had refused to strike, filed into the plant after the picket line at the gate was broken.
The company reopened the mill July 14 and invited all its workers, including CIO strikers, to return to their jobs. The company announced it would give work to "all those actively employed as of July 7, 1938."

Good morning, mX lumber friends ! Are you ready fo.r the big balloon ascension? No? Then get ready!
{<*{.
Personally, I'm ready. I've got on my fying clothes and am practicing for high business altitudes. Sort of acclimating myself, as it were. I'm like the kid at the circus waiting for the balloon ascension in the old days. And, like the kid who had watched them putting the gas into the big bag, I'm convinced that it won't be long now.
***
What I'm trying to tell you in my enthusiastic fashion, friends, is that it looks from where I,m sitting like business is getting ready to soar-has already started, as a matter of fact.
***
I may be a little over-enthusiastic, and may be placing too much weight on my hunches and impressions, but it looks like a carbolic, copper-riveted cinch to me that in another three or four months things are going to be fairly flying in this country in a business way. f mean ALL business, and particularly the lumber and building industries.
{.{<*
I don't see how it can miss. And I think that the lumber and building industry-like Abou Ben Adhem-will undoubtedly and unquestionably lead all the rest.
The reports f get from all over the country as this is written make me believe that the building industry is already throbbing with new energ"y. And it proves what I have repeated so frequently in this column-namely-that business is mental. You take the week before the recent
upward swing in the stock market, and how were things? About as flat as they have ever been-in the lumber business nationally-since 1929.
Then one fine day in the morning the stock market began acting like a little boy who has sat down on the business end of a live wire, and presto ! Everything started coming to life ! Right now ! And every day the stock market went up, other things improved. Business began to smile. And business hasn't been smiling for a long, long time. Today the physical affairs of this country look immensely better than they did just thirty days ago, and the balloon ascension hasn't even got well started.
What started the stock market on its sudden and unexpected upward swoop? Ah ! That's a matter of conjecture, my friends. Everyone has been taking turns guessing at that. Nobody expected it. It just happened, like Topsy. But it came, thank God, just at a time when business the country over was in the deep, deep doldrums. And it acted like " ntno.
f don't see that there is any deep, dark mystery about it, however. Course f couldn't see it in advance. but now that its happened it seems simple enough. It was the announced intention of o,ur Government, of course, that things MUST pick up in this country, that did it. That announced intention was backed by such powerful levers to force the development of that ambition, that thinking men knew it had to happen. Weapons and sinews of war such as had never been known before by any Governrnent in this or
any other world, had been given to this Government to work with. Thinking people quickly became convinced that everything MUST necessarily turn UPWARD, simply because there was nowhere else for them to turn.
It is true that we -"U" r* *""rr"s effort of dumping billions of dollars in this land to make business good; and that after an apparent fine up-swing there followed a sort of collapse. But remember, when we turned loose those other billions there existed a tremendous crater of depression slack to be taken up, which swallowed up much of the power and the money. Today there is nothing of that sort. We have been on a pretty fat keel for the past eight months, but there is no great crater or vacuum to be filled, and the new lending-spending program finds us with a pretty fair and firm foundation for the new cash to build uPon'
So I am certain that things are going up, flying. Take lumber, for instance. From ocean to ocean, those who buy lumber customarily but have been buying too little lately, NEED LUMBER. And they are well able to pay for what they need. Most lumber dealers and users the country over have been buying a lot less lumber than they have been selling for the past several months. All they've got to do to make business very good is to buy what they NEED.
To my mind it would be utterly impossible to pile billions of fresh dollars upon our present situation without creating a tremendous market of all kinds. Just the weight of the money alone would do that. And then we hear rumors that unless good times return speedily enough, there may be further devaluation of the dollar, and there may be other efforts resorted to, to put more gas in the rising business balloon. Today a world of money owners in this country are thoroughly convinced that good commodities are more valuable than cash. So they rushed into the stock market, and helped start business going. And this same conviction is boosting the business rise in every wa''
We have become accustomed to big figures in this country in late years. After listening to an astronomer discuss space distances, and light years, and star numbers for an hour or so, we become mentally numb to such things. We have gotten that way about money figures in this country. So, when it was recently decided to spend four or five billion more dollars to fight depression with, most of our good folks yawned and made no efrort to interpret that into terms that might be understood. I won't attempt it' But you can be certain that this nation is about to turn loose in luscious gobs a sum of money never conceived of by any other nation even in a mince-pie nightmare'
And we have gone further. In addition to handing our Government this unbelievable sum of cash to distribute, we have clothed it with other powers and authorities that are too great even for most of us to estimate or conjecture. It can make the gold content of the dollar what it pleases, in case it deems it necessary to help fight depression. It can do other things of a money character, boundless in their possibilities. In other words, we have handed over countless money and measureless powers with which to create prosperity in this country. It is to be done in the next few months. And to my notion there never existed a more definite certainty, anywhere, any time, anyhow. It can't possibly miss. We ought to have something closely resembling a business boom before the first of the year.
r am not attempting a".diJ"nJ" this thing over the long route. What will happen when the money runs out again unless in the meantime business goes back to a sound and solid basis of operation, belongs entirely in the field of conjecture. But for the immediate present, for the next year, good business and good times look to me like a copperriveted cinch.
ft seems to me that th: ,""*"* of the lumber industry and of the building industry would be entirely safe in

assuming that that is what is about to happen, and to further assume that the building industry will lead the procession. There are today in Washington about three hundred paid publicity propagandists employed by various phases of our Government, fooding the country with prosperity arguments, and pep talks. And please notice that every broadside that goes out refers specifically to the leading part that building is ALREADY playing in the business hill-climb.
There never was a time before when building was onehalf so spotJighted, so advertised, so thoroughly promoted. It is every man's job to prepare to do his part.
A delightful picnic \,\ras held at Royal Palms, Point Fermin, San Pedro, Sunday, July 10, by John E. Marshall, Inc. of I-ong Beach, for their employes, families and friends. There was a big turnout and everybody reported a wonderful time.
The affair was efficiently carried out by Sam Chapelle, general manager of the company, and his three lovely assistants, Virginia Ricketts, Adaline Sibson and Mae Garner of the office force. Sam personally supervised the serving of the splendid luncheon.
John E. Marshall, president of the company, was on hand to see that everybody was enjoying themselves. He is held in high esteem by his employes and many friends, and holding these parties a.nnually is certainly very commendable on his part.
During the afternoon, there was a fine program of outdoor sports, both for the youngsters and the grown-ups, including running races, three-legged race, bag race, tug of war, etc.
John E. Marshall, Inc., lumber handlers, operates three docks, Pier A and B, Outer Harbor, Long Beach, and Berth 28, Terminal Island. IVIr. Marshall has been specializing in handling lumber at the Harbor since 1914.

H. W. Swafford, of E. J. Stanton & Son, Los Angeles, has returned home after a three weeks' business trip that took him through the Pine milling districts of both California and Oregon.
Hal von Breton, of the same concern, is spending his vacation far down the West coast of Mexico.
One of the best knorvn and most respected lumbermen in Los Angeles, Al Koehl of the firm of John W. Koehl & Son, has announced his active candidacy for the office of Supervisor from the Third District in Los Angeles, subject to the primaries of August 30th. It is not often that a busy man is willing to sacrifice his valuable time away from his business in order to do his duty as a citizen, but the many friends of Mr. Koehl succeeded in convincing him that there was a fine public service to be rendered. Therefore he made his announcement.
Mr. Koehl has been all his life in the sash, door and millwork business in Los Angeles, succeeding his father in the management of the very successful enterprise that bears both their names. Al Koehl would make a fine public servant for the City of Los Angeles. He is unlike the average politician in that he thinks with a straight mind and speaks with a straight tongue, rugged honesty and straightforwordness being his outstanding characteristics. He knows Los Angeles and its problems, possesses a fine business mentality, and deserves the political support of those who would like to see a dependable business administration in the City of Los Angeles.
A. T. Mathews, well known lumber salesman. who for the past few years was with MacDonald & Harrington, San Francisco, in the San Joaquin Valley territory, is now traveling the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys for Roy M. Janin Lumber Company of Portland, Oregon, making his headquarters in Fresno.
Mr. Mathervs has lived in Fresno and has been engaged in the lumber business in that community for the past 12 years.
Jim Farley, Mrs. Farley and their little son are spending their vacation at a certain spot in the Redwoods in Humboldt County, where, Jim say's, there are no telephones and no mail delivery. He adds, however, that the trout fishing in the vicinity is excellent. They will be back July 19
Miss Florence Miller, daughter of F. G. Hanson of the West Coast Screen Company, Los Angeles, has returned from a month's vacation trip to Honolulu, her third in three years. Mr. Hanson reports that he is glad to have her back on the job, as she is his "right hand man" in the office.

The Wage-Hour law was signed by the President on Saturday, June 25. The law takes effect 120 days thereafter, or October 24.
Inquiries so far about the application of the law relate principally to these features: l-Jurisdiction ; 2-Wages; 3-Hours; A-Status of Inventories; S-Liability on Resales; 6-Flexibility; 7-Industry Committees; 8-Exemptions ; 9-Administrator.
The construction of the Act on these points, in so far as it can now be determined, is as follows:
Jurisdiction: The Act applies to employers of employees any of whom are "engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce." This is new language. It is intended to avoid the constitutional objections found by the Supreme Court in the Schechter case (N.R.A.). In effect it means that the Act applies to producers of goods which go into commerce. It does not apply to retailers who are not operating in interstate commerce. To this extent it difiers from the N.LR.A. which sought jurisdiction over producers whose goods were destined for commerce and also to local dealers who had received their goods through interstate commerce. Also it does not apply to farmers, outside salesmen, or those in bona fide executive, administrative or professional employments.
Wages: IJnless some affirmative action is taken by the Administrator on recommendation of an Industry Committee, the minimum wages per hour beginning October 24, 1938, are as follows : first year-ZS cents; second year through seventh year-30 cents; after seventh year-4O cents.
Hours: fn the absence of a collective bargaining agreement, the maximum hours per week of any employee (engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce) beginning October 24, 1938, are as follows: first year-44 hours ; second year-42 hours ; after second year40 hours.
The limitations to this maximum hours requirement are:
1. No limit is imposed upon the weekly hours provided the hours of employment, in excess of the hours above stated, are paid for at a rate "not less than one-and-onehalf times the regular rate."
2. fn case of employment agreement resulting from collective bargaining with representatives of employees, "certified as bona fide by the National Labor Relations Board," the above weekly limitation does not apply during any six months period in which the total hours of employment do not exceed 1000 hours; or similarly during any 52 weeks period during which the total of hours of employment do not exceed 200O.
3. fn any "seasonal" industry for a period not more than 14 work weeks in any one calendar year, the maximum hours may exceed those specified.
4. These partial exemptions, under 2 and 3 above, on the
ground of collective bargaining agreement or seasonal operations, are subject to the limitation that employment in excess of 12 hours in any day or in excess of 56 hours in any week must be paid for at time-and-a-half. The Administrator has no discretion to modify the maximum hours limitations except to the extent of above variations for "seasonal" industries. The classificatlon of an industry as "seasonal" is subject to determination by the Administrator.
Inventories: The Act declares it unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sale goods in the production of which "any employee was employed in violation of" the wage and hour limitations. This does not apply to inventories on hand prior to October 24. It means that any work done thereafter with respect to the processing, selling or shipping of such inventories is subject to the statutory limitations.
Resale: Section 15 prohibits the sale or shipment in commerce after October 23 of. "any goods in the production of which any employee was employed in violation" of the wage and hour provisions. This prohibition goes to any "person" and is not limited to an "employer." It prohibits a person from selling or shipping goods, not only those on which his own employees have been employed at less than the minimum wage or more than the maximum hours prescribed in the law, but those on which employees of anyone else have been so employed. This raises the obvious question of the extent to which any person who, in his own employments, does not himself violate the wage and hour provisions is liable because of possible violation by those from whom he buys his goods for resale. This provision was carefully considered by the Conferees. It means that anyone, for example, who buys lumber for resale in commerce may be restrained from reselling or reshipping if the Administrator finds that the lumber at any stage was produced in violation of the Act.
This probably will necessitate the setting up of a system of Certificates of Compliance, whereby any person purchasing goods for resale may assure himself that they were produced under the terms of this law, by requiring a Certificate of Compliance from the person from whom he buys. Even this, however, will not protect him against having these goods "quarantined" if he Administrator concludes that they actually had been produced in violation of the wage or hours provisions. The only benefit in that case of a Certificate of Compliance will be immunity from the criminal penalties prescribed in the Act. This result is not accidental, but is the deliberate conclusion of the Conferees.
Flexibility Statutory Minimum Wages: The Act prescribes minimum wages as above stated and in the absence of further action, these requirements will go into effect as stated in the statute. However, the Administrator, if so recommended by an Industry Committee, can immediately
after the law takes efiect raise the minimum wages to as high as 4O cents. He has no authority, however, to do so unless it is recommended to him by an Industry Committee which he has full authority to appoint and ,,after due notice to interested persons and giving them an opportunity to be heard."
Beginning with the second year, the range of possible flexibility in minimum wages is between 30 and 4O cents an hour. If an Industry Committee does not recommend an increase above the minimum wages prescribed in the statute, then, after the first year which is at 25 cents, the minimum wage will continue for six years at 30 cents, and thereafter automatically will become 40 cents. After the seventh year the only ground on which the minimum wage may be fixed at less than 40 cents is that the appropriate Industry Committee "recommends," and the Administrator "finds," that the continuance of a minimum wage less than 40 cents, but not less than 30 cents, "is necessary in order to prevent a substantial curtailment of employment in the industry."
The Industry Committee is required to recommend the "highest minimum wage rates for the industry which it determines, having due regard to economic and competitive conditions, will not substantially curtail employment in the industry." In reaching such a determination, the Committee and the Administrator are required to ,consider:
1. Competitive conditions; transportation, living and production costs.
2. Wages established for comparable work through collective bargaining agreements.
3. Wages paid for like work "by employers who voluntarily maintain minimum wage standards in the industry." Industry Committees: The Act requires the Administrator to appoint Industry Committees "as soon as practicable." Each Committee will include an equal number of persons representing employers, employees and the public. Although the Act states that these members shall "represent" their respective groups, it is the opinion of the So. licitor that the Administrator is not obligated by iaw to consult or to secure nominations from the groups to be "represented." It is believed, however, that the Administrator will do so whether or not technically so required by the statute. Industry Committee members are employees of the Government, compensated by the Government, and the Committees themselves are agencies of the Govern-
ment. To this extent they difier from the NRA Code Au_ thorities.
The Industry Committees may be of any size determined by the Administrator. The definition of an .,industry,, for purposes of administration of this Act is subject to determi_ nation by the Administrator. He may subdivide an industry into classifications. Or various branches of an industry may be consolidated. The only limitation on the Administrator's discretion appears to be that .,no classification shall be made, and no minimum wage rate shall be fixed, solely on a regional basis."
Exemptions: A last-minute addition by the Conference Committee included in the exemption of agriculture .,any practices (including any forestry or lumbering operations) performed by a farmer or on a farm as an incident to or in conjunction with" his farming operations. The Congressional debates in both the House and Senate on the day the Bill was passed indicate that such forestry or lumbering operations to be exempt as a part of agriculture must be conducted upon the farm of the person claiming exemp- tion and must be conducted not only as an incident to but also in conjunction with his farming operations. The Solicitor's office admits that the language in the statute itself on this point is not definite, but says that, under the customary rule of statutory construction, this definition will be interpreted in the light of the obvious intent of Congress as shown in the record of the debates. If so. the so-called agricultural exemption of forestry and lumbering will not be of great consequence.
Administrator: At the moment the Administrator has not been appointed. It is expected that he will be appointed about July 6. The authority to establish Industry Committees is effective now. It is expected that the Administrator, when appointed, will proceed promptly to the appointment of Industry Committees.

An unusual exhibit of the various tools used in the lumber and woodworking industries will be displayed to the millions of visitors at the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition on San Francisco Bay.
The whole range of tools used from the equipment of the timberman to the delicate instruments of the miniature maker will be exhibited. Besides loggers' tools, mills supplies, furniture makers' and carpenters' tools, the equipment of various home woodworking crafts will be shown. In fact practically every tool used by amateur or professional woodworkers and finishers will be displayed in its proper connection.
Among the various hobby crafts to be represented will be model making of boats, airplanes, trains and locomotives. Woodcarving tools and pipe making equipment will also be included. Each of these crafts calls for a workshop with a surprising array of. highly specialized tools.
This exhibit which will be shown in the huge Mines, Metals and Machinqry buildng of the $50,000,000 World's Fair of the West, is being planned by C. W. Marwedel Company of San Francisco, which carries the equipment of some two thousand manufacturers.
Don Coveney, salesman for Strable Hardwood Company, Oakland, has returned from his vacation. He covered several thousand miles by automobile and visited many interesting places including Grand Coulee Dam, Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks.
Two products are being featured in the advertisement of Geo. E. Ream Company, Los Angeles, in this issue, Super Harbord, the outdoor plywood and Rezitex, a beautiful stucco-like decorative coat for exterior plywood.
"Rezitex, manufactured by I. F. Laucks, Inc., Los Angeles, is a synthetic resin bound plastic paint that meets the demand for a finish that is both protective and truly decorative," Mr. Ream says.
"In order to decorate exterior walls of plywood successfully a material must Lre waterproof and lightproof, it must have body enough for texturing, it must be fire-resistant and have flexibility. Laux Rezitex meets all of these specifications."
Lumber production in Alaska in L937 decreased approximately 14 per cent from the 1936 level, according to preliminary data compiled by the U. S. Forest Service from information furnished by the Regional Forester at Juneau.
The 1937 production was 25,306 M feet as compared to 28,858 M feet in 1936. (The 1937 figure is subject to revision.)
Shingle production in Alaska dropped from 2,598 squares in 1936 to an estimated 1,745 squares in 1937.
The census of lumber production in the western States and Alaska has been conducted for many years by the Forest Service under the terms of a cooperative agreement with the Bureau of the Census. Final production statistics will be released later by the Bureau of the Census.

The Corona Rotarians departed from their usual custom on July 8 when they met in the new addition to the Corona Lumber Company's yard to commemorate the birthdays of Frank and A. J. Ware of the Corona Lumber Company. The office was attractively decorated for the occasion, and the members of the Philogeon Class of the First Methodist Church furnished an excellent meal.
George Snidecor, president of the Rotary Club, presided and paid the Wares a fine tribute. He then turned the meeting over to Rotarian Frank Ware who gave a short historical sketch of the Corona Lumber Company which was founded by A. J. Ware some 37 years ago when it was incorporated. He introduced many of the guests, and also gave some interesting and amusing incidents in connection with his company. He stated that his uncle, A. J. Ware, arrived in Corona in May, 1893, and went to work for the lumber company then owned by McFadden and Cruickshank. Later Elwood Lilly purchased the yard, which was sold to the Corona Lumber ComDany with A. I. Ware as manager,
When Howard and Frank were youngsters they assisted around the yard and later became connected with the company. For a good many years, they have carried on the business.
A. J. Ware moved to Sierra Madre about eight years ago; however, he makes daily trips to Corona, often driving as much as 150 miles in a dav. He will celebrate his 79th birthday on July 26.
Frank Ware was presented with a large number of presents, and as he opened each one, George Snidecor read a short twoline poem descriptive of each of his 47 bftthdays, entitled "His Life Story." After the meeting the guests inspected the new office buildings.
Riding the crest of public interest in sunshine, exercise and fresh air as cures for many human ills, The Celotex Corporation of Chicago has launched a vigorous sales drive for a new product, Promenade Traffic Top, with which flat roofs may be converted into open air playgrounds, roof gardens and recreational areas for sun bathers.
Sales efforts are being concentrated in cities where congestion places limits on recreational space, and utilize the appeal of adding usable areas to buildings at little cost.
The new product is applied over the roof, and protects the roofing from damage by traffic and rays of the sun. It is made of cane fiber impregnated with asphalt and provides a resilient, non-slippery wearing surface. It is supplied in three colors-black, green and red.
When used on apartment buildings, hotels, hospitals, factories and homes it gives occupants additional space for sun bathing and various forms of recreation and utility. Additional play areas may be provided for schools and children's homes above the danger of city traffic. Hospitals and sanitariums may provide open air space for convalescents without securing additional ground area.

The name of Graves has been prominentlv identified rvith the sash, door, and millwork business in Los Angeles for about thirty years. The Graves Company operates a milling and millwork plant with offices at 2000 Pasadena Avenue in that city.
I. W. Fuqua is president of the Graves Company. Howard Coor-Pender is first vice-president and general manager. This genial and highly efficient young man has been with Graves for sixteen years, having been sales manager for years before being made general manager. R. A. Col-
lins is treasurer. Fred Wheeler is secretary. Leslie Hill is sales manager. It is a u'ell equippecl, rvell trained, highly efficient group of executives, and the Graves Company is a go-getting concern, well financed, highly progressive.
Not long ago they decided that their expansive, square office building on Pasadena Avenue, afforded splendid possibilities for using some of their own products, and demonstrating to the calling public how beautifully rooms may be finished and adorned with the products they sell the trade. So they went ahead, and gave a world of thought
to their planning. Just horv to use a variety of beautiful woods in their office interiors to make the most effective display possible, was their basic thought. It took them several months to do the job, and when they had finished they had a show place such as few lumber and building concerns in the entire country can equal.
The exterior of the big office is itself a very attractive job. The walls are sblid-looking as will be seen in the accompanying illustration, and sparkling white. The windows were attractively fashioned, graceful signs show the name of Graves on both side and front, and on the roof big signs run all the way across front and side so that there may be no doubt in the mind of any passer-by as to whose plant it is, or rvhat they sell. An attractive iron fence protects the lawn and small shrubbery all the way around the office yard. The visitor gets his first impression of the Graves office from a most attractive exterior. And as he enters the office and looks around, it gets better.
The center room is a huge work room, lighted with indirect lighting fixtures, the walls and ceiling are white and bright, and there are attractive glass ceiling adornments. All the way across the front of this main office there is a handsome Oak counter, fronted with figured Oak panels.
There are seven private offices circling this work room, and every one of them is done in different beautiful woods, of different shades and colors. Marvelous paneling is found in each of these seven rooms, all the panels being products of the United States Plywood Corporation, and sold by Graves to the Los Angeles trade. The floors of all these rooms are likewise done in a variety of shades and colors, all covered with Pabco Linoleum, which is also one of the Graves specialties for distribution. They are grand looking floors, rich, soft, longJived even against the hardest usage.
The directors' room is a real beauty, done entirely in Black Walnut panels and trim, the ceiling of bright Insulite. Mr. Coor-Pender's office is very, very beautiful, paneled in Bayott. Another of the private offices is done in Philippine Mahogany against a contrast of Maple batts. Another room is in wcnderful Oak. Still another a splendid example of what can be done with California Redwood for interior paneling. Knotty Western Red Cedar is used in one of the rooms, and attracts attention and admiration from every visitor. The seventh private offrce is finished with a White Pine wainscot, Insulite walls above, and Insulite ceiling. In fact Insulite is used in all of the ceilings.
Not only wonderful materials but discriminating taste has been used throughout this wonderful office and group of private offices in blending and properly contrasting the colors and shades of the wooden walls, the ceilings, and the colored floors. Any prospective builder or re-builder, seeking suggestions and ideas for blends and shades of color and materials for walls, ceilings, and floors, can easily get them from a visit to the Graves Company offices.
It is, of course, a lvaste of lvords to say that the entire organization is proud of their completed offices. When a prospect says to a Graves salesman, "\Mhat can you suggest?" the salesman need only reply, "Drop in at our office and see for yourself how wonderful Graves products rnay be used in sightly building."
Now, the Graves Company is principally engaged in
making and distributing in Los Angeles the products they have used in their own ofifices, likewise a complete line of sash, doors, millwork, and special built millwork. But in addition to this, they make and sell another article which is their pride and joy. This is the Graves Sash Balance, which they have owned and distributed for many years, ar;d which they consider the finest device ever made for
Howcrd Coor-Pender First Vice-President cnd Genercl Mcncrger Grcves Compcnyreplacing the usual weights and cords in double-hung windows. They sell this Sash Balance not only in Los Angeles, but all over the Pacific Coast, and in many other districts of the United States. They hope ultimately to distribute this Sash Balance nationally, as it is an instant seller wherever shown to the building trade.
The Graves Sash Balance is an ingenious device that permits the use of narrow mullions, narrow casing or plaster return at openings. It eliminates box frames, rattling weights, and the chatter of loose fitting sash. The patent glide used in conjunction with the device is most efiective in preventing window rattling.
The materials used are the best money can buy. The vital helical balance spring is made from blue clock spring steel. The working parts are protected from dirt and rust and under ordinary conditions will last the lifetime of the building. Installation is simple. The Balance is installed in the pulley stile one inch above center in the window opening. The bore required in the pulley stile is lx4rl inch for all sizes of balances. A metal template is furnished for instant and easy location of the bore, or the frames may be bored at the mill.
Where each window is not larger than 3 ft. 6 in. x 6 ft. only one Graves Sash Balance is used for each sash, and is placed on the left side. On the right side of the sash at the top is placed the spring steel glide which absorbs any looseness and insures smooth operation. Pulley stile should not be bored on right side. These units are covered by lT S. patents. For windows of larger size, up to 4O pounds per sash, two Graves Sash Balances are used, one on each side of sash, and the glide is omitted. For sash weighing more than 40 pounds tandem installation is used.
For sash weighing more than 4O pounds 4 Sash Balances are used to each sash, or 8 Balances per window opening. This is very effective for large windows and affords the same smooth operation characteristic of Graves Balances. Overhead installation is provided for lifting sash in the center opening of triple window frames, in order to maintain the narrow mullion effect without making the center
window stationary, thereby losing ventilation.
The Graves Company is doing a healthy business all along the line, according to General Manager Howard CoorPender, and confidently expects the last half of 1938 to be much better than the first half.

A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon-a magnificent tomb of gilt and gold fit almost for a dead diety-and gazed. upon the sarcophagus of rare and nameless marble, where rest at last the ashes of that restless man.
I leaned over the balustrade and thought about the career 'of the greatest soldier of the modern world- I saw him walking utrron the banks of the Seine, contemplating suicide. I saw him at Toulon-f saw him putting down the mob in the streets of Paris-I ."* hi* at the head of the army of Italy-I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi with the tricolor in his hand-I saw him in Egypt in the shadows of the pyramids-I saw him conquer the Alps and mingle the eagles of France with the eagles of the crags.
I saw him at Marengo, at tflm, and Austerlitz. I saw him in Russia, where the infantry of the snow and the cavalry of the wind blast scattered his legions like winter's withered leaves. I saw him at Leipsic, in defeat and disaster, driven by a million bayonets back upon Paris, clutched like a wild beast-banished to Elba. f saw him escape and retake an empire by the force of his genius. I saw him upon the frightful field of Waterloo, where Chance and Fate combined to wreck the fortunes of their former king. And I saw him at St. Helena, with his hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea.
And I thought of the orphans he had made, of the tears that had been shed for his glory, and of the only woman who ever loved him, pushed from his heart by the cold hand of ambition. And I said I would rather have been a French peasant and worn wooden shoes; I would rather have lived in a hut with a vine growing over the door and the grapes growing purple in the kisses of the autumn sun. I woutd rather have been that poor peasant with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the day died out of the sky-with my children upon my knees and their arms about m+f would rather have been that poor peasant and gone down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust, than to have been that imperial impersonation of force and murder, known as "Napoleon the Great."
IIe was an ex-soldier was this lunch-counter waiter, and so was the short-order cook, and they had their signals down pat. The customer said to the waiter:
"I want a bowl of oyster soup, two scrambled eggs, coffee, and brown bread."
And the ex-soldier bawled to the cook:
"Marines in the mud; two squads; deploy 'em; cup o' reveille, and colored shock troops."
Today I went a-walking
With the mountains by my side, We strode along together With a long and easy stride. We clambered thru the valleys
And rode the rolling hills
In search of far horizons, Where the golden sunset spills.
Today I went a-walking
With the mountain for my mate, The high majestic mountain That steps along in state. The little near-by hills
That follow in their train, And call for me to linger, And bid me come again.
Today I went a-walking
With the thountains hand in hand, We neither spoke a word but We each could understand. We talked of many ancient things
My mountain friends and f, As we walked along together Up in the Land of Sky.

There was a time when paint dealers thought their's was a short season business; that during the spring months paint was sold in large quantities and that the remaining months of the year sales were made in dribs of no important consequence.
However, that was before the time of the dealers' graduation from a "store-keeper" into a merchant. The difierence between a "store-keeper" and a merchant is that one keeps store, waiting for customers to come in and buy; and the other goes out after business and sells his merchandise. There are still a few of the former in existence, trying to make a living during the summer months-during moments when they are not 'shooing flies-but they are growing fewer and fewer every year.
The "can't sell paint in summer" idea is like a scarecrow in the field. It scares away the big flocks of sales, and the few dollars that are taken in are like the few wise birds that stick around the edge of the field, picking up a seed now and then. A dealer's customers don't know they shouldn't buy paint in the summer, and if he slumps into a rut they are naturally going to feel that he doesn't want to sell paint, so of course, he can't expect them to spend their money regardless.
Many of our readers already know that there are just as great possibilities for paint sales in summer as in any other. season of the year. True, the sales may be spread a little thinner, over a wider list of items, and the individual purchases may average smaller than those of the heavy spring painting months, but a sale is a sale, regardless of when made, and the truth of the matter is, the specialty items sold during the summer months represents a larger percentag'e of profit per dollar invested than the more staple items that are sold in quantities earlier in the year.
Live dealers are never content to let things take their natural course. There are too many new and novel sales
and advertising plans which will keep things humming during the possible dull months, provided, of course, that they are utilized.
One thing in particular that has a bearing on piant sales is the atmosphere of the store during the summer months. Keep it looking cool, and also keep it as cool as possible. When the shoppers enter from the hot, dusty street, let them know that you and your clerks are full of pep and on the alert instead of putting a damper on possible sales by appearing wilted and overcome by the heat of the day.
Right now the lawn swings are being set up under the shady tree, and the porch furniture is being brought out of winter storage to be given a new coat of paint or finish before going into summer session. The man of the house is looki.ng with saddened eyes at last year's car, wishing it looked like new. Out at the country club everything is under way for golf, tennis and other sports.
Summer cottages along the lakes and streams are being put in shape for habitation until next September, and of all the places in the world where paint can be sold, it is in the summer cottage area.
Even though the whole town may take a vacation for a week, month or all summer, there need be no vacation for paint sales, because these town people getting ready for their holidays are always more or less willing to spend money to get things looking better.
That the summer slump in paint sales is nothing more nor less than a "condition of mind" has been proved so frequently and so decidedly that there is little cause for the dealer putting up his shutters and spending all his time at the ball game,
Just keep right on going at the same old clip, only bringing a little more pressure to bear on the specialty items for household use, and you will find that THERE IS NO VACATION FOR PAINT SALES.
D. I. Nofziger, a brother of F. U. immediately below him in the first row.
Fifield of the Builders Supply Co. on North Broadway. None other than the dean of the lumber industry in these parts, Bob Cuzner.
Down in front:
Now I am going to let you decide. My own guess is that it is T. L. Ely, but Bob thinks it is Gene Lewis of Carpenter and Biles, later the Pacific Door and Sash Co. Frank Curran think it is Weir of Weir and Jordan, no\ r J. H. Baxter and Co.
"Missing and Nor Accounted For" are some of our old friends, George Lounsberry, Walter }Iarris, Henry Patten, Perry Whiting, Harry Mcleod. I bet they played hookey !
A long story could be told about all these, but I'll just tell you a couple. Not one of them owned an automobile, think that over. Nofziger's slogan was "We Skin Them All" and if that ain't a honey, I never heard one.
I'll be seeing you.
Today I am going to show you a photo of what the well dressed Los Angeles lumberman was wearing in 1906; will you look at those iron hats and what a swell white vest George Guy in the front row is wearing.
First I had better say that thanks are due to our old friend, Bob Cuzner of the Kerckhoff-Cuzner Mill and Lumber Co., for the loan of the picture and also to Eleanor Ennis, private secretary to Guy Cuzner, for her help in working out some of the identifications.
Who are they? Well, here goes:
Front row, left to right:
The Great lJnknown, nobody will confess to owning those baggy pants. Do you knorv who he is?
Another unknown at present writing. Bob thinks it is Jimmie Schultz of E. K. Wood Lumber Co., but Frank Curran thinks it is Wetmore, who was Jimmie's right hand man.
Joe Ganahl, whom all old timers will remember as the boss of the C. Ganahl Lumber Co. when their office was at lst and Vignes Streets.
Holder of the Holder Lumber Co. on Vermont Ave. about 37th street.
George Guy, Pico Heights Lumber Co., now the Woodhead Lumber Co.
F. U. (Frank) Nofziger, Nofziger Lumber Co.
Curtis Williams, Blinn Lumber Co. Just returned the other day, I hear, from a trip around the world.
Charley Clark, manager of the Stimson Mill Co.
Brown Higman himself, but he sure looks like Les Lynch, doesn't he?
Back row, left to right:
W. F. Montgomery, Montgomery and Mullin Lumber Co. I hope he soon publishes the book he has written on the lumber business in Los Angeles.
P. S. Well all right, just one more. Brown Higman (a brother of Jerome) bought two or three acres in what is now West Hollywood, for $7,500. Put up $2,000 worth of buildings for a little lumber yard, kept it two or three years and sold the ground and buildings for $75,000!
After 30 years of often hazardous field trips in the forests of the country, particularly i.n the California Redwoods, Professor Emanuel Fritz of the lJniversity of California school of forestry finally suffered a severe disabling accident. But it was not his friendly forests which sent him to the hospital. Instead, he chose to slip in the terrace garden of his own Berkeley home while stepping from one path to another.
The result was a double fracture of the ankle, expected to keep his leg in a cast for two or three months. He will be about on crutches by the end of June, however.
Professor Fritz, who is consulting forester to the California Redwood Association, announced that plans for the third annual redwood logging conference would be carried out in July despite the accident and that he would participate in all sessions but the field trips.
Ifoo-Ifoo Club No. 62 met at the Divine Gardens, Turlock, Monday evening, June 27. The Cats from Turlock acted as hosts and they arranged an enjoyable evening for the members. John Ward, of Turlock,.was chairman. The Club will not meet during the summer months, and the next party will be held in the Fall.
Eubank Ironing Boards, advertised in this issue have a number of special features. All are swivel boards, using the Eubank patented swivel bracket which gives them added strength. All are well manufactured of thoroughly seasoned Ponderosa Pine, built up of two or more pieces, making a board that will not warp or split. They have a metal and asbestos iron pad on the large end on which the iron can be slipped without picking it up.
The doors have Ponderosa Pine panels which do not check or show cracks in the paint.
The cast iron swivel is so constructed that the brace slides in the swivel bracket, eliminating the usual construction of the brace sliding in grooves in the wood, which soon scores the wood and does not work freely.
There are no projecting parts, wires, cotter keys or trunions on Eubank ironing boards to catch or tear the most delicate fabrics.
These boards are sold through dealers only, and are made by L. H. Eubank & Son, Inc., manufacturers of cabinets and millwork, whose factory is at 1010 East Hyde Park Boulevard, Inglewood, Calif.
Lee H. Eubank, identified for many years with the millwork industry in California, is president of the company. Donald St. Clair is vice-president, and George D. Eubank is secretary-treasurer.
Everett Mercer, formerly with Bohnhoff Lumber Company, is salesman for the company, and covers the Southern California territory.
Robt. T. Forgie, Los Angeles, Southern California representative for the Santa Fe Lumber Company, spent a week in San Francisco the early part of the month and was a caller at the company's general offices.
Arthur Batliner, Long-Bell Lumber Co., Los Angeles, with Mrs. Batliner and their two sons, are vacationing in Kansas City. Art will be back on his territory the latter part of the month.
Art Penberthy, Tacoma Lumber Sales, Los Angeles, is in the Northwest calling on the mills.
Dick Twohy, son of Art Twohy, Los Angeles wholesale lumberman, is on a visit to The Pacific Lumber Company at Scotia, and Trans-Pacific Lumber Company at Port Orford, Ore.
Bill Sampson, Sampson Company, Pasadena, and his family, have returned from a vacation in the High Sierra.
Harry Graham, sales manager, Pioneer Div., The Flintkote Company, Los Angeles, has returned from a business trip to Nevada and the Northwest.
'A.l Koehl, John W. Koehl & Son, Los Angeles, is back from his vacation spent in Nevada. He traveled by airplane, flying his own ship.
A few months ago we published an article on export lumber prices in the "horse and buggy" days by Frank W. Trower, Trorver Lumber Co., San Francisco. When Alex H. Corless, now with Lunday-Thagard Oil Co. but for many years connected with the lumber business in Los Angeles, read the article he thought the lumbermen would like to browse through a retail lumber price list of that period
and sent us one issued by Patten & Davies Lumber & Fuel Co. (now Patten-Blinn Lumber Co.) of Los Angeles, dated January 27, 1898, showing Pine (Douglas Fir) and Redwood prices.
Below is a reproduction of this retail price list of forty years ago. REDWOOD.

I wonder greatly when I see A billboard fastened to a tree; A tree that stands erect and tall Yet seems to have no trunk at all, That lifts its leafy branches high, In solemn protest to the sky; A tree condemned by man to wear A gaudy billboard in its hair.
I wonder if in all the realm of nature, there is another object so graceful, beautiful and inspiring as a tree, or one that through the ages has been more conductive to the well being and progress of mankind.
Long before the dawn of history, trees began ministering to the needs of our arboreal ancestors; First, they were used as homes, then the tribes became ground minded and one day Mr. Anthropodius Sr., who was growing a brain, spanned a small sluggish stream with a fallen tree and crossed to the other shore, there to annex new territory or perhaps to select a mate from a strange and more intelligent clan.
In due course of time Junior, who was a precocious youngster, carved a canoe from a tree tfunk, cut a straight pole from the manzanita hedge, affixed to it a strip of wood fiber and went fishing for fat heads in the murky pools which dotted his parental estate; trees and men were on their way.
History began and now as we look backward, we see that it is punctuated with great achievements made possible by the use of trees. Noah constructed the ark of schittim wood and caulked it with pitch. Solomon's temple called for the cedars of Lebanon, Columbus sailed three littld wooden caravals across unknown seas and bearded the American Indian in his own primeval forest reserve. The Mayflower was a wooden ship, and her thousands of passengers builded wooden homes of trees which they had felled in order to plant crops which were never destined to be plowed under. Our first churches, school houses and town halls were lumber built; and today wood and the by products of our forests are used for over four thousand purposes. Verily man owes a great debt to the trees, an obligation which he is just beginning to recognize.
I wonder of the spiritual and inspirational values of a tree do not greatly transcend its commercial and material worth; Beautiful serenity, strength and courage in calm or
Dr. John G. Kreer, 64 years of age, Technical Director of the American Lumber & Treating Co., died at Chicago on June 24. A native of Chicago, Dr. Kreer took a degree of M.A. at Northwestern lJniversity, followed by a fouryear course in engineering. After taking his doctorate in naval architecture in Germany, he became assistant to the chief engineer of the North German Lloyd Steamship Co., Bremerhaven, and thereafter hull designer for Stulcken Sons, Hamburg.

It was at the close of the World War, during his European stay, that he became interested in wood preservatives developed in Germany. Returning again to America, Dr. Kreer joined with R. M. Morriss and others to form the concern rvhich is norv the American Lumber & Treating Co. During the past 15 years, Dr. Kreer was active in promoting the use of wood preservatives generally, and his extensive technical knowledge and long experience made him one of the country's foremost technologists in wood preservation and related fields.

There are sixty good minutes in every hour, There are twenty-four hours in a day, And the volume of lumber
You sell shows the number
Of minutes you used the right'way.
You can sit on a chair at your desk and declare
That the price of your goods is not high, But you'll have to get out
And get 6usy and shout
If you want folks to come in and buy.
Whenever you rest you are setting a test Of just what your business will stand, If it doesn't keep going
'Twill have to be slowing You must toot or drop out of the band.
Of course it is right to spend part of the night
In sleep that brings health, strength and beauty, But don't dare to take
From the time you're awake
One minute you owe to your duty.
You've a task for a man but I know that you can
If you tackle it, do what you must, And labor's a virtue
That never can hurt you
While idleness ruins like rust.
Our towns must be filled with the shelters men build Out of lumber you ought to be selling, And the aim of these pomes Is to sing about homes
Until every last child has a dwelling.
Portland, Oregon.The 'Western Pine Association has published a revised directory of membership, corrected to May 10, which repiaces the one issued last October 15.
