A bulletin of the great National Hardwood Lumber Association, Chicago, dated June 23rd, 1956, pays glowing tribute to the editors of the lumber trade press, saying: "The lumber industry has bee,n unusually favored ovcr the years with an outstanding trade press, and with writers far above the average found in more pretentious news and magazine circles. What other industry can match the wit and writings of such authors and editors in the lumber publication field as Johnson, Defebaugh, Dionne, Horn, Malloch, Crow, and Holbrook, to mention a few?"

**x<

Of the seven editors whose names are mentioned, Bolling Arthur Johnson of the Lumber World Review, James E. Defebaugh of the American Lumberman, Douglas Malloch of the American Lumberman, and Carl Crow of Crow's Lumber Publications are gone. Stewart Holbrook, noted Northwest lumber industry author i Stanley F. Horn of the Southern Lumberman, and the writer of this column remain in harness.

**.{<

The National Hardwood bulletin mentioned has other interesting items. It tells about a man named Bill McEwing who writes a monthly feature called "splinters" for the Middle Atlantic Lumbermen's Association, and quotes the following from some of his recent writing concerning lumbermen and the lumber industry: **{<

"The lumber business is not just a collection of boards and sizes and millwork; it is also the heart throbs of so many fine lumbermen who are bound in the bundle of life, who have a concern for their fellow beings, and are trying to make their days pleasant and more useful in this life."

Another quote from ";J ";r"e: "you can't always judge whether a home has gracious living just by external evidence. There may be a fat guy in an undershirt sitting on the front stoop, and it could still have a pink sink in the kitchen." {<t<*

And finally: "People who radiate sunshine have a faculty of turning the common water of life into the most delicious nectar. Their cheery salutation is like the coming of the mor,ning after a long, dark night. Their smile is magic to a sad heart. It dispels the fog of gloom and despair as the sun dispels the mists wh,ich hang over a stagnant swamp. These sunshine characters are public benefactors. Everyone who comes in contact with them is enriched by their wealth of good cheer. And the more they give of

BY J.A,CK DIONNE

their wealth, the more it multiplies. It is like good seed planted on fertile ground."

The National Bulletin writer is truly correct when he says that this Bill McEwing, whoever he may be, has in his writings "a ring of kindliness and charm which make them of interest to readers anywhere," and opines that "he has a real affection for the lumber industry." It is a pleasure to reprint h.is remarks found above.

Somehow I am reminded ofa speaker I heard at a lumber convention long ago. I attended the annual convention of the West Coast Retail Lumbermen's Association held that year at Fresno, California, and while I cannot recall the name of the speaker, who was from the Northwest (it was in 1920 if. I remember rightly), I have never forgotten some of his words. He urged that the lumber industry should become builders in the higher and truer sense of that word "Builders," he said, ttof strength in an hour of weakness; builders of light in an hour of darkness; yes, BUILDERS OF FAITH IN AN AGE OF DOUBT!" What wonderful words! ***

I worship at the shrine of men who can think beautiful thoughts and translate them into wonderful words. My scrapbook for fifty years has been bulidi,ng thick with such thrills. Just recently I was allowed to read a speech that was made long ago by a truly great Southern orator, the lat€ Judge Hiram M. Garwood of Houston, Texas. He was paying a glowing tribute to another distinguished jurist of that day, and a line stopped me cold; and into my collection it went to take up permanent residence. Judge Garwood said: "FIe was like the shadow of a great rock, in a weary land." Read that over again, friend, and put it in YOUR scrapbook. Men don't talk that way any more.

Just a thought: Are we paying our way through life, or are we trying to get a free ride? The world doesn't owe us a living; we owe the world a life. And it's payable daily. Not annually, or when we get time, or in that future that's just around the corner. It's payable every day, just as much for every man and woman as for th,e boy scout who seeks to do his daily good U"_.U;

You can't always tell by appearances. And you never know where a sermon is coming from. Frederic O'Brien tells about going into a low, vicious grog shop in a South Sea island, and seeing a tattooed, hideous looking savage in conversation with some other savages. The ex-cannibal dashed his war club down on the table and shouted toudly and dared the others to contradict him that Solomon's

A good debtor is one whose applied earning equipment, whether it be property, muscle or brain, indicates sufficient income to take care of the line of credit desired, and whose known inclinations warrant that in case of temporary failure, h,is honor will remain intact. ***

The disgruntled salesman walked into the sales manager's office, and when he came out he remarked to another salesman: "I v/ent in and told the boss that unless I got a raise I was going to quit." The other wanted to know what the boss said about that. "Oh," said the other, "he just referred me to the second line of the old song that sfalfs-'l{3ll ! Hail ! The gang's all here' - -"

I remember the first set of retail lumber yard plan books I ever saw, and how deeply they impressed me. And I recall the first editorial I ever wrote boosting and recommending the use of such books and plans for creating business. Today the plan book department is a fundamental part of the retail lumber and building business. With plan books came the general thought of skillful merchandising of building materials, and they have helped spread the gospel of building service throughout the land.

Once there was a young man who made a good living for years running a peanut stand on a busy corner. He sold nothing but peanuts. One day a friend suggested that

he spread out, put in other lines, and make more money. He tried it; put in popcorn, candy and other items. And he went broke, so the story goes. You see, he was strictly a peanut man. The world's full of such, not necessarily selling peanuts-that is just to point a moral-but in various lines. "Cobbler, stick to your last" has always been a good Proverb'

Selling isn't a science-it's a job; a hard, sweaty, personal job. The days of Diamond Jim Brady are over. Salesmanship-with the ruffles torn off-simply means getting the name on the dotted line, with the right figures showing. The only practical test of a man's selling ability is the final net profit on his sales.

The success of the opening can be attributed to ihe fact that there was nothing half-hearted about it. Profcssi.onal planning bV-!h.e Garehime Corporation, grand opening specialists, together with ideas from Sandy Stewart, merchandising manager for-the owneis, and in adeqirate budget-supplied by President Jim Gartin and Vice-President Chris Finson, guaranteed the success of the opening.

The people of Fresno, aroused beforehand by big double spreads in the Fresno Bee and numerous spot announcements over the local radio station, didn't just attend the opening to get something for nothing; they were folks genuinely interested in home improvements and new do-ityourself ideas.

The numerous displays and demonstrations manned by personnel from many of the leading national manufacturing concerns attracted men and women alike . . and a sales total of $51800 for the two-day opening speaks for itself !

In breaking down total sales, the owners noted that $4,2ffi was pre-cut fencing business-representing 21 fence jobs for an average of $20O each. Cash sales of $1,600 for the trvo-day opening included items such as 40 lawnmowers, three power mowers and 30 garbage cans. Grand openings can mean big business-or big ex-

An old race-track tout, who had spent his life following the ponies, dropped dead in the street one day and they carried his body to the morgue. Papers on his person gave his name and address, so they phoned down to the boarding house where he lived and asked that someone come down to the morgue and identify him.

So two of his old race-horse friends went down to attend to this duty. They were told to go into the morgue and see if they could pick him out. They went in and there was a line of "stiffs" each one laid out on a slab, covered by

The Penoltv of Leqdership

To mediocrity, genius is unforgivable.

fn every field of human e,ndeavor, he that is first must live in the white light of publicity from the moment his leadership is discovered.

Whether that leadership should be ves.ted in an institution or a product, the shafts of malice, of envy, of ignorance, of the world-old antipathy of the weak for the strong, are ever at work.

There is both penalty and reward for leadership. The reward is widespread recognitio,n from those who think straight. The penalty is fierce and malignant detraction from those who do not.

When you or your work become great, you become the

shining mark for the shafts of the slanderer, the traducer, the demagogue. Remain mediocre, and you ar€ secure.

Ach.ieve much power or prominence and owners of idle tongues will start them wagging. There is nothing new to this. It is as old as the eternal hills: as ancient as human passions and weaknesses.

It is the penalty of leadership.

Grode-lqbeling for Hqrdwood Hollow-€ore Flush Doors Approved

The authority given to the grade labelir.rg system for hardwood hollor'v-core flush doors by a neu' commercial standard, CS 200-55, ranks as a positive step forl-ard in the trend torvard greater use of quality materials in tl.re construction industry, according to Ormie C. Lance, manager oi the National Woodu'ork X{anufacturers Association. Recently promulgated by the U. S. Department of Commerce, CS 200-55 offrcially recognizes the gradenrarks for hardrvood veneered hollotv-core flush doors der.eloped by the NWMA.

The NWMA acts as licensing agent for labeling of the doors in three grades-Premium, Good and Paint-applying to both interior and exterior doors. The grades are stanrped on the edges of the doors, exterior in red ancl interior in green. Lance explained that any door bearing an N\\rMA grademark must be produced to conform rvith all of the general requirements of CS 200-55. In addition, the face veneers for doors of each grade must be of the level of quality defined in the standard.

"This provides a clear picture for distributors, dealers and builders," he said. "They are no longer dealing in unknou'ns. They can specify hardrvood flush doors u,ith confidence that they u'il1 receive the level of quality and performance they expect."

Complete copies of CS 200-55 can be obtainecl frorn the NWMA office, 332 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago 4, or from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, at 10 cents each.

Disploy Moves Moteriols

Builders Emporium, a "department store for householders" in Van Nuys, California, uses animation wherever possible to enliven its displays. One of their most-used props to create motion is a fir plywood "picture frame" animated display made by Bill Haber, the firm's display specialist. Builders Emporium makes many uses of the animated prop and has found that it is an excellent device to stimulate sales.

When used as a rotating display for electric bulbs, the plywood "picture frame" can be used to show a full selection of bulbs fastened in series on both sides of the frame. The Emporium reports record sales of bulbs from this display. The store has also used it for display of flatware and many small houseware items. The display canbe "dressed up" with aluminum foil. lVhen used as an animated base, the eye-catching prop made sales pick up sharply at the Emporium.

Starting with a 2-foot square panel of ft-inch fir plywood,

Haber cuts out a circle from the center of the panel. The square portion of the panel is now ready as a frame for the display, and the circle serves as the base.

By cutting off one corner of the square section, Haber can nail the frame to the base by using two small blocks of wood for braces. With the base attached to a small turntable, the prop is now ready for use as an animated display.

The same prop has also been used as a non-moving display with good results.

The second "short course" on merchandising, held at the National Housing Center, Washington, D. C., has just been completed by more than 100 home builders.

Eorney Thompson Plugs Distribution Yord for Port Hueneme Hqrbor

Oxnard, Calif.-Earney J. Thompson of the Thompson Lumber Co. here is plugging for a lumber distribution yard at Port Hueneme. The retail lumberman was recently elected a councilman and is also commissioner on the Oxnard Harbor District board. Dealer Thompson says such a yard would have unlimited possibilities and that there has already been great interest in such a distribution center for dealers of the general Ventura county area.

The yard Commissioner Thompson envisions could supply retail dealers as far north as San Luis Obispo, inland to the San Joaquin Valley, south to the Antelope Valley, and parts of the Greater Los Angeles area, he said. "It takes even less time to drive a truck from Port llueneme to Santa Monica than it does to drive from San Pedro to Santa Monica," Thompson pointed out.

He believes that a proper yard at Port Hueneme should have a sawmill. "It would probably cost between $300,000 and $350,000 for someone to set the thing up here," he said.

Dealer-Councilman-Commissioner Thompson pictures a big business for a lumber distribution yard. "There's a tremendous need for it," he declared. "Ventura County alone uses between 5-6 million board feet oi lumber a month." The yard would require most of the present lower storage area behind a dock already there.

Thompson indicated that many lumber retailers have declared their interest in such a yard, which he believes would improve service at the retail yards, with dealers able to fill orders sooner and simplify their lumber handling. Another commissioner, Fred Aggen, told the Oxnard Press-Courier that he recalled lumber shipments at Port lfueneme when the harbor was first built. The first boat into port was a lumber freighter, as The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT reported last year in a story on the Bonestel family of the Peoples Lumber Company at Ventura, Calif.

Forest Forecost Reveqls Sowtimber Growth Will Be lO% Higher Thon Removcl Rqte Through Yeors 1975 - 2OOO

Continuation of present progressive trends in forest management will increase sawtimber growth to a level about lO/o higher than removal by 1975 and will sustain growth at this level through the year 2000.

This is the conclusion of a noted forest economist, Dr. John A. Zivnuska, associate professor of forestry at the University of California, whose report on his own independent analysis of the U. S. Forest Service T.imber Resource Review (preliminary draft issued last October, Page 64, CLM, 12-1-55), is summarized \n a new booklet, "More Timber Today-and Tomorrow."

Dr. Zivnuska's analysis of the TRR takes into account forecasts of increasing wood demands resulting from increasing population and progress in wood research. Extra copies of the booklet, with Dr. Zivnuska's complete !:eport, are available from the Forest Resources Council, Room 1712, 2hEast 42nd Street. New York 17. N. Y.

Dr. Zivnuska says the TRR actually shows the current forest situa'tion in the United States to be "substantially better" than had been anticipated in earlier Forest Service studies.

"There is clear evidence that productive forestry efforts have been produced and are producing good results, and that the future holds the opportunity for further progress," the economist said.

When the USFS made public the TRR preliminary draft in October, it stated that the nation's timber requirements are expected to be so high by the end of the century that timber growth will need to be from 70 to 120% greater than it nolv is. Also, the release added, "Improved forest management at recent rates of progress appears unequal to providing a balance between cut and growth at the year 2ffi0."

In making public the preliminary draft of its three-year study, the Forest Service requested review and comment. The Forest Industries Council, as policy-coordinating agency for the lumber and paper industries, sponsored an impartial appraisal by Dr. Zivnuska.

"The Forest Service study includes estimates of the volume of forest products which should be consumed in the expanding economy of the future, if observable price trends and other economic forces develoo as indicated by

past experience," said Dr. Zivnuska. "These estimates dicate an increase of 27d7o in industrial consumption of mestic roundwood lrom 1952 to 1975, and an increase 73% by 2fffi.

"If the actual cut corresponds to that estimated by the Forest Service for this level of output, the material in the TRR indicates that a continuation of present trends in forestry will raise board foot growth to a level about IO/o higher than cut by 1975 and will sustain growth about this much higher than cut through 2000. This is not shown in the preliminary draft of the TRR, since a projection of future {orest growth and inventory presented by the Forest Service is based on a cut rising to a level of l5/. above that indicated by its own requirements estimates."

TPL's Al Nolon R,etires After

46 Yeors in Horness

One of the true veterans of the West Coast lumber industry, and a man whose lifetirne devotion to the industry has won him the admiration and respect of all those connected with it, hasdecided that it's about time for some well-deserved leisure. Albert J. Nolan-better known as "the little Senator" to his many friend5-17vssfg1n sales manager of The Pacific Lumber Company, announced his retirement from the lumber business on June 30. n4r. Nolan hasspent practically his entire working career with TPL.

Al Nolan is a native San Franciscan, born there on NIay 11, 1891. He received his schooling in San Francisco public schools and, in 1904, enrolled at the old St. Ignatius College on Van Ness Avenue (now the lJniversity of San Francisco). However, even then the lumber businessbeckoned, so in 1910 Nolan joined The Pacific Lumber Company as a clerk's helper at Pacific's 5th & Channel yard in San Francisco. This yard was closed shortly after the NWP was put through to Eureka, so Al then went to TPL's big Scotia mill, which at that time was cutting redwood only.

Des,iring to gain a knowledge of other species, Nolan left Scotia in 1916 and headed for Raymond, Washington, where he intended to work for the Willipa Harbor Lumber Co. En route to Washington, Al stopped in Portland to visit friends. One of them was manager of Johns-\{anville Corp. at Portland, and he talked Al into deserting lumber for asbestos. For the next year and a half, Al worked out of the J-M Portland office and serviced all of the area shipyards with J-M products.

In 1917, Al made application to the air services of both the Army and Navy. His first call came from the Army, so he enlisted on December 8 and received his ground school training at UC in Berkeley. ,l:[e won his wings "flying by the seat of his pants" in a Jenny, at Love Field, Texas, and he was teaching flying at Ebert's Field, Loanoke, Arkansas, when November 11, 1918, arrived.

Shortly after the Armistice, Al returned to Johns-Manville at Portland. A year later, the late Pete McNevin contacted him and asked him to rejoin TPL at San Francisco. Nolan went back to Pacific and traveled the late Andy McNair's Coast Counties territory for several years. He came into TPL's 100 Bush Street offices as assistant western sales manager in the

late 20s and, several years later, moved on up to western sales manager.

Al Nolan likes to reminisce about the days when he worked a six-day week, t hours a day, for $2.50 per day in San Francisco, and a six-day week, l0Jrour day, for 35c an hour in Scotia.

In those days, and before the railroad connected Scotia to the Bay area, Pacific had owned five wooden steam schoonersthe SS Prentice, which ran to Pacific's San Francisco yard; the SS Aberdeen, which serviced TPL's Oakland yard, and the SS William H. Murphy, the SS Dispatch and the SS Temple E. Dorr, all of which ran from E,ureka to Wilmington harbor.

When these vessels made ready to return north, they were loaded with mill nrachinery and materials for the new mill and factory at Scotia. In addition, cargoes also included steel and materials for the NWP Eureka extension. All of this loading was under the supervision of Nolan, who checked all freight aboard at the San Francisco docks. For several years, Al averaged three nights aweek sleeping aboard where loading went on until midnight and resumed again at 7 a.m. next morning.

All of this work was without overtime pay (that hadn't been invented yet) and was in addition to his regular job at Pacific's San Francisco yard.

But extra work was no discouragement to A1. He knew that it was a prerequisite and the key to a tremendous future. And

Lumber Mqnufqclurers Asked to Provide Deqlers With More Merchcrndising - Scrles Promotion Aids

Directors of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, meeting in Seattle, Wash., May 28-30, called for Congressional action to bring about a reappraisal of government land ownership and a more detailed reporting of national forest management activities.

Other resolutions approved by the directors at their 1956 spring meeting:

1. Authorized an expansion of NLMA's research activities.

2. Congratulated the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for its work in modernizing building codes.

3. Applauded the National Paint, Varnish and Lacquer Association for cooperating u'ith NLMA in a program to improve paint performance on wood.

The Seattle meeting, held at the Olympic hotel, was attended by more than 175 lumbermen and others interested in industry developments. Pointing out that government agencies hold more than 25/o of the commercial forest land and some 40/o of the nation's timber, NLMA's 59-man board of directors urged that Congress approve legislation authorizing special studies to effect "the most desirable pattern" of government-private ownership for all lands.

The association's directors said these studies should seek to achieve "maximum national and local benefits with due consideration of all relevant factors, including cost of administration, revenues, profits, taxes, production, employment and other matters of public interest."

Specifically, the resolution endorsed a bill (S3a4a) by Sen. Long, (D) La., providing for establishment of federalstate commisisons to conduct land studies on a state-bystate basis. The resolution pledged NLMA's "best efforts" in behalf of the Long bill and asked the support of "all organizations and individuals believing in private ownership and competitive enterprise."

In connection with national forest management, NLMA directors called for prompt Congressional approval of bills (53578 and HR1079\. by Sen. Dworshak, (R) Idaho, and Rep. Laird, (R) Wisc. These measures, it was pointed out, would require the Secretary of Agriculture to make "a complete annual report on the stewardship of tl-re national forests."

The resolution emphasized that the U.S. Forest Service is responsible for administering federal property worth "billions of dollars with revenues of approximately $100 million annually," and asserted that the "proper management of such a valuable asset is a matter of public concern."

In voting to expand NLMA's research activities, the association directors approved a one-year investigation of the "condensation problems resulting from air conditioning of homes."

Also approved was a two-year research project aimed at the development of "improved practices for unit packaging, shipping, handling and storage of lumber and lurnber products." Both projects will be undertaken at the laboratory of the Timber Engineering Company, NLMA's research affiliate.

Lumber's Future As Seen by Retail Dealers

A highlight of the three-day meeting was a panel discussion on lumber's future as seen by retail lumber dealers, home builders and building code officials. Participants were H. R. Northup, executive vice-president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Washington, D.C.; Albert Balch, Seattle, Wash., home builder, and Gilbert E. Morris, superintendent of building, Los Angeles, Calif. Northup called on lumber manufacturers to provide dealers with more and better merchandising-sales promotion aids. He said manufacturers of competitive materials are far ahead of lumber producers in supplying dealers with sales aids and in helping to train retail salesmen in the special virtues of their products. Further, Northup urged cooperative action by lumber manufacturers and retailers to streamline the handling of materials.

Balch said mortgage credit developments in the coming months will have considerable influence on home building in general and lumber's role in particular. Balch reviewed the recent tightening of the mortgage money market and called for a moderate relaxation of present mortgage credit terms.

Morris said lumber's competitive position can be improved if the industry will make available to architectural and engineering schools more technical information on the lumber grades best suited for specific jobs.

The building code official said a lack of adequate information on this and related subjects is indicated by the many problems which his office is called upon to solve in the course of examining plans and designs for building permits. Morris urged the lumber industry to expand its educational services to match the efforts of competing industries.

Odlin defended present restrictions on the supply of mortgage funds and said builders should start selling homes on their values rather than by emphasizing credit terms available. The banker cautioned that a loose money policy could lead to a possible recession.

Other highlights of the lumber meeting:

1. NLMA Board Chairman Judd Greenman was cited for outstanding service as NLMA president during 1955. A plaque to be presented to Greenman was accepted in his behalf by N. B. Giustina, president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. Greenman, recovering from an operatiol-I, was unable to attend the Seattle meeting.

2. \\ralter B. Nettleton, pioneer Washington lumberman and past president of NLNIA, was awarded a West Coast Tree Farm certificate by the Industrial Forestry Association. The a\vard, presented by IFA President Nils Hult, certifies that tree farm acreage of the Nettleton Timber Co., Seattle, Wash., is being managed under sound forestry principles for the continuous production of commercial forest crops.

their informal gatherings. The convention business got underway at 10 a.m., June B, in the Princess Charlotte room with the first scheduled session. The current state of the hardwood business was discussed by areas among the various west coast members. Membership requirements also came up for discussion. And serious thought was given to present problems arising from Japanese dock handling and warehousing of Philippine mahogany.

The first afternoon's activities included a luncheon, golf at the Victoria Country Club on Oak Bay, swimming in the Crystal pool, and the "Tally-I{o" available for small fry by appointment. The first evening's calendar included dinner and dancing in the Georgian lounge, with dinner at eight followed by dancing to the music of Billy Tickle.

The Bobby Byrne Memorial golf trophy was won by Bruce Mossop. Bob Sullivan was awarded a "vote of confidence" for his first golfing "efforts."

The Saturday golf rvas follor,ved by the annual "Foul Regatta" under the commodoreship this year of Secretary Bruce Mclean. lfe u'as assisted in the fun by Larry Culter, Hal von Breton and Freddie Smales. The "regatta" was held in the swimming pool of the hotel.

The annual banquet on June 9 officially wound up the 33rd annual. Held in the Georgian lounge at 7:30 p.m., starting with cocktails, the dinner was served at 8:30 and climaxed the successful meeting with good fellowship.

An extra event, scheduled on Sunday, June 10, was a cruise aboard the yacht Deerleap through the Gulf and San Juan Islands to Eaglecrest, Qualicum Beach, Vancouver Island. This lovely spot was the site of one of the visits

of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip on their most recent North American trip. Many of the hardwood men and their families took the cruise, as the pictures u'ill shou,, and it u,as reported a high point in a convention full of high points. Several of the PCWHDA members took advantage of the Canadian location of this meeting in Victoria to combine some vacation time with their convention business and remained in the area for the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association convention in Vancouver, B.

basic steps in proper application. The article must have triggered a pent-up hunger for educational information concerning hardboard. Within a week, the Forest Grove hardboard plant received requests for reprints of the article totaling over 8000 copies.

There are four basic steps for proper application that must be followed. The four steps outlined in the article were:

ft was readily apparent this Spring that the market for hardboard-America's fastest growing building materials industry-has blossomed so rapidly that trade knowledge regarding the proper use and application of this amazing man-made lumber has been lagging.

Forest Fiber Products Co., manufacturers of Forest hardboard, located in Forest Grove, Oregon, recently mailed the regular issue of their trade publication, Forest Board News, to 10,000 builders, architects, and lumber dealers in the 11 western states. It featured an article describing how hardboard should be used and the four

1. CONDITIONING HEATED AREAS-For all applications in heated areas, (under normal humidity conditions) remove panels from the carton or wrapping and stand them separately around the room in which they are to be applied for a period of at least 24hours prior to installation. FOREST hardboard, being wood, reacts to humidity conditions as does natural wood; however, it reacts uniformly in all surface directions.

2. JOrNT TREATMENT.

INTERIOR USE-Panels should be brought together in moderate contact (loosely fitted) and never forced into place. Be sure that each panel has been conditioned properly. Forest Tee-N-Gee Panels lvith tongue and groove l\''ere made to make an attractive joint rvith hidden nailing.

EXTERIOR USE-Fit panels together looseiy with a space of about l/16" to Il8" at all joints. You can use a nail that you are using as a guide or spacer at the joint to determine the space to leave.

3. NAILING AND BACKING

NAILING AND FRAMING-NaiI every four inches on all edges and six inches apart on immediate framing. Nail from edge to center to edge (never both edges and then the middle). Nail at least 3/8" from edge. Framing is necessary on all edges and not more than 16" apart throughout the panel.

FIRST COAT MOST IMPORTANTFor all FOREST hardboards except Temper-Treated the most important coat is the first. A good primer, or sealer, preferably heavily pigmented or with body, is necessary. Beautiful finishes are easily achieved provided the first coat is heavy enough to seal the surface. One or two additional coats can then be applied for the desired effect. Finishing is one of hardboard's inherent advantages, and most any application -brush, roller, dip or spray-can be used. Horvever, the performance of the first sealer coat determines the ultimate

WIPtrD-ON PASTEL FINISHES-Bqqau5q of the natural, light Douglas fir color of FOREST hardboard, beautiful light, pastel stains or wiped-on finishes are possible. Use as a base a white enamel undercoat or a white resin sealer. Choose whatever color you want-blue, green, red, etc., any tube color or color in oil, and mix in with the white resin sealer. Mix thoroughly. Brush on, wait approximately two minutes, and wipe off. That is all there is to acquiring a beautiful color. Be sure to test on a small sample first. A coat of clear varnish or lacquer may be applied as a protective covering.

Hardboad is pouring from Pacific Northwest mills in an ever-swelling torrent. Today's booming building rate and growing uses for this amazing man-made wood are reasons why this burgeoning industry is off to another recordbreaking sales year. Homeowners are finding it to be one of the toughest, most durable building materials yet devised. Its smooth surface is so hard that even hammer blows won't dent it. Yet builders find it easy to saw and nail.

Besides going into new homes, hardboard is showing up in a lot of places where it wasn't used a few years back. One rapidly growing use has been for cupboard doors using 314" hardboard. Hardboard is dimensionally stable (stays straight) and, being grainless, does not chip or splinter, and paints beautifully. The list of new hardboard uses includes furniture, tongue-and-groove wall panels, cabinets, straited wall paneling, underlayment for linoleum floors, store display fixtures, and a host of others.

Forest Fiber Products Co. is now working around the clock on a seven-day-a-week basis to keep up with the flood of 1956 orders.

The hardboard industry has already exceeded Stanford research estimates for oroduction in 1955.

Huss Ontonagon Pulp and Paper Company, whose ownership is afifiliated with the Huss Lumber Company of Chicago, has purchased National Container Corporation's pulp and paper mill at Ontonagon, Mich., together with its tree farms in Ontonagon and Houghton counties, Michigan, embracing upwards of 30,000 acres, and will immediately start a $3,000,000 expansion program, including the construction of additional plant capacity making pulp and container board out of the high-yield, high-density hardwoods available in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

The Ontonagon mill has for many years past been the last northern kraft liner board mill, and with the standing timber su,ch as Spruce, Jack Pine and Hemlock depleted. the dwindling softwood stands threatened its limits for any further industrial development. Yet right at the doorstep of the plant was a residual stand of over 24 million cords of hardwoods that required new pulping techniques which had been proved at the Forest Products Laboratory and were being recognized in the pulp and paper field as the fastest growing new development, namely the neutral sulohite semi-chemical process.

Lony Honsen Tronsferred ToSoCol by Hobbs Wqll

Larry lfansen, veteran young lumber salesman formerly assigned to the eastern and middle western territory by Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., San Francisco, was transferred to Southern California July 1. For the past several years he has been a member of the pioneer red'ivood lumber company staff working out of New Jersey and New York. He gained his lumber experience at the mill level when employed by the Simpson Logging Company in the Pacific Northwest.

Larry will assist Don Bufkin, Hobbs Wall sales manager in Los Angeles, in a complete coverage of the Southern California marketing territory. "We intend to make a thorough study of retail lumber dealer needs in this area and then do our best to supply their needs," Bufkin declared.

Stott to Mqntrge Son Rofqel lumber Go.

Lionel Stott, for many years associated with lVestern Pine Supply Co. in Emeryville, accepted management of San Rafael Lumber Company on June 25. The recently established Marin county wholesale lumber concern is located at 109 Broadway in Fairfax. Stott is a graduate of Oklahoma A&M and a veteran of the Navy during WW II as a lieutenant, well known to Northern California retailers and millmen alike. He joined Western Pine Supply shortly after it was originally established in San Francisco, and recently had been serving the firm as marketing manager and sales supervisor.

Nolon Trqdes Lumber for leisure

(Continued from Page 28) how true that proved to be Mr. Nolan notes:

"In my 46 years of slightly interrupted service to this grand company, I've served under five presidents. Throughout these changes, Pacific's policy regarding its customers, its employes and the public has remained on the same high level. I feel that this accounts for the splendid esprit de corps within the company, and the multitude of friends without," he said.

"Every job I've had since 1910 has been a lot of fun. And I consider the grand climax of a free ride from here on in-a most worthy reward," Nolan states.

Al's immediate plans for leisure call for an ocean voyage from San Francisco to New York, via the Panama Canal, with

his wife of 33years, Mary. The Nolans, who are grandparents twice over, both enjoy oceanvoyages and plan to devote a lot of their time to traveling, in addition to spending more time at home entertaining their grandsons.

Chonge the Nqme of Arkonsos?

This is the famous speech of Senator Cassius M. Johnson in the Senate Chamber of Arkansas, in protest against the proposal to change the name of that illustrious state:

The man who would "Change the Name of Aakansas" is the original, iron-jawed, brass-mouthed, copper-bellied corpse maker from the Wilds of the Ozarks ! He is the man they call Sudden Death and General Desolation ! Sired by a hurricane, and dam'd by an earthquake, halfbrother to the cholera, nearly related to the smallpox on his mother's side! Look at him! He takes nineteen alligators and a barrel of whiskey for breakfast when he is in robust health; and a bushel of rattlesnakes and a dead body when he's ailing ! He splits the everlasting rocks ryith his glance and squenches the thunder when he speaks!

Change the Name of Arkansas! Gosh, No! Stand back and give him room according to his strength ! Blood's his natural drink, and the wails of the dying is music to his ear. Cast your eyes on the Gentleman, and lay low and hold your breath, for he's 'bout to turn himself loose ! He's the bloodiest son of a Wildcat that lives, who would Change the Name of Arkansas ! Hold -him down to earth for he is a child of sin. Don't attempt to look at him with your naked eye, Gentlemen! Use smoked glass. The man who would Change the Name of Arkansas, by gosh, would use the meridians of longitude and the parallels of latitude for a seine and drag the Atlantic Ocean for whales ! He would scratch himself awake with the lightning 4nd purr himsell to sleep with the thunder ! When he's cold he would bile the Gulf of Mexico and bathe in it ! When he's hot, he would fan himself with an equinoctial storm ! When he's thirsty, he would reach up and suck a cloud dry like a sponge ! When he's hungry, famine follows in his wake ! You may put your hand on the su,n's face, and make it night on the earth; bite a piece out of the moon, and hurry the seasons; shake yourself, and crumble the mountains, but, sir: you will never Change the Name of Arkansas !

The ,man who would Change the Name of Arkansas would massacre isolated communities as a pastime. He would destroy nationalities as a serious business ! He would use the boundless vastness of the Great American Desert for his Private Graveyard ! He would attempt to extract sunshine from cucumbers ! Hide the stars in a nail-keg, put the sky to soak in a gourd, hang the Arkansas River on a clothesline, unbuckle the belly-band of time, and turn the sun and moon out to pasture; but you will never Change the Name of Arkansas ! The world will again pause and wonder at the audacity of the lop-eared, lanternjawed, half-bred, half-born, whiskey-soaked hyena who has proposed to Change the Name of Arkansas ! He's just starting to climb the political banisters and wants to knock the hay-seed out of his hair, pull the splinters out of his feet, and push on and up to the Governorship!

N ative : yes "n, ?litfi :,lTag r:,f,ine razorback hawg, Suh."

Visitor: "Why does he rub against that tree all the time?"

Native: "He's jes' stroppin' hisse'f, Suh-jes' stroppin' hisse'f."

But Fqsl, lt Wos Different

Mose had been arrested for speeding. This was his fifth offense, so the Judge pronounced the h.ighest possible fine and jail sentence on him. As he did so, there came from the tight lips of the defendant something that sounded suspiciously like an oath. The Judge flared up.

"Repeat what you just said," he demanded. "Repeat it aloud so I can understand it !"

"Judge, Suh," said Mose, "all I said was-'God am de Jedge'-yassuh, dass all I said, jes' 'God am de Jedge'dass all."

Life of c Doughboy

We stand in line to get a pass, We stand in line to wash, We stand in line to find a place To stand in line, by gosh. We stand in line to draw our pay, We stand in line to spend it, But, fellow men, we never have To stand in line to lend it.

She Wcls Golm' Too

The truck driver lost control and ran his vehicle right into a kitchen where the lady of the house was laboring at an ironing board. Bewildered and embarrassed, he just blurted out:

"Can you tell me the way to the Union Depot?"

And the lady said: "Straight past the sideboard, and turn left around the piano."

The Humqnist

William Dana Orcutt said: "The humanist is one who holds himself open to receive truth, unprejudiced as to its source, and, having received truth, realizes his obligation to give it out again, made richer by his personal interpretation."

Not Rcrttled o Bit

A squadron observer was called in by his commander and asked if he had been nervous during an air attack. He said no, he was not the least bit rattled.

The commander said: "Glad to hear it. But I can't help asking then why it was that you reported in that there were twenty-seven thousand bombers coming over at eighteen feet !"

From One lot lo Two _City Blocks in Exponsion, But -West Cocrsf Screen Co. Still Hcls Growing Poins

From one warehouse in 1922 to more than 100,00O square feet of production area covering a city block, on both sides of the street, is the success story and the expansion history of the West Coast Screen Co., Los Angeles, one of the pioneer firms of its kind in Southern California.

Now they have added another manufacturing unit to the ever-growing organization, to produce the new Hollywood Junior hardwood flush combination door. This new door will be quality throughout and will be manufactured in various Oriental finishes, such as Sen, Ash and Birch, according to F. G. "Pop" llanson, president and general manager of the long-established 'r.voodworking concern.

Machinery is now being installed in the new unit, which is expected to be completed during July. The first run on this new door is being developed in other sections of the manufacturing plant, it was said. Cost of machinery for the new production will exceed $35,000 and will increase the present 35,000 feet of raw materials used daily to a figure in excess of 45,000 feet, according to Mr. llanson.

When this operation was started 35 years ago it required

to Mr. Hanson. Today more than 150 production employes are on the payroll, not including office and sales personnel.

Mr. Hanson is assisted in the management of the West Coast Screen Company by his daughter, Mrs. Florence Miller. She takes care of all general office activities and it is under her supervision that all business is conducted. Mrs. Miller rvas raised in the lvoodworking business and has a complete knowledge of production, advertising and sales.

Under the personal guidance of "Pop" Hanson, West Coast Screen Company enjoys a national reputation for top-grade products which is the result of sound manufacturing methods, top grade material, modern machinery and the ability to originate new ideas (such as the Hollywood Junior hardwood flush door) to meet market demands.

"Pop" Ifanson declared there is no mystery about the growth and development of his company. He says it is

NRTDA Requesfs Congress lo Amend Lqw on Federql Tqx Liens

The National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has officially written to the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, requesting action on legislation to clarify the question of notice and priorities between a Federal tax lien and a mechanic's lien. It is highly unlikely that any action will be taken on this legislation at the present session.

After talking with the sponsors of the legislation, the National felt that it should go on record as supporting favorable and early action by the Committee with the chance that it might be able to generate some interest in this legislation later.

ciation has published full-sized patterns which make the boat's construction practically foolproof.

Although the plan for the five-footer is more detailed than any other DFPA boat plan, it is available to dealers at the same price as the other eight plans in the series: $3 per hundred. The full size patterns are available to dealers for SO-cents per set at DFPA, and are designed to sell to the customer for $1.00. The boat is ideal to teach youngsters how to sail.

The plan has 19 "how-to-" pictures. After constructing this little craft, the customer will feel much more knowledgeable about tackling a larger boat. Its appearance as a recent Life Magazine feature, plus an l8-minute period shor'ving its construction on NBC's Panorama Pacific television show, has sparked the interest of sailboat fans.

Gqldor Lumber Sold to Winton ln Deql lnvolving $I Vz Million

John Rosenberry, general manager of Winton Lumber Sales Co., Sacramento, announces the purchase of Caldor Lumber Company, pioneer E,ldorado county sawmill installation, on June 1 in a transaction involving approximately $11 million. The Winton firm, which also operates a large sawmill at Martell, will operate the newly purchased mill as Winton Lumber Company, Diamond Springs Division.

John Malmquist, a Winton employee for the past 30 years and in recent years production superintendent at Martell, will head the new operation as general manag'er. Assisting Malmquist will be J. J. Becker, office manager and plant superintendent and formerly assistant office manager at Martell, and Warren Carleton, Martell forester who will now head the woods operation of the Diamond Springs mill.

Both Rosenberry and Glenn Butler, salesmanager of the Winton Sacramento office, note that certain other key personnel from Martell will be moved to the Diamond Springs Division in order to insure consistent quality and operation between the two mills.

The Caldor purchase also included a shipment of approximately 600,000 feet of Philippine mahogany logs which Winton is currently processing at the Diamond Springs plant. Prior to the sale, Caldor had been one of three sawmills in the U. S. experimenting with the manufacture of mahogany from logs shipped from the Philippines.

Socromento Hoo-Hoo Welcomes 29 New Members in Merry Moy Concotencrfion

Twenty-nine Kittens and one reinstatement took the Hoo-Hoo oath on May 26 in a well-attended Concat sponsored by Sacramento Hoo-Hoo Club 109. More than 125 Central Valley "Cats" and out-of-town visitors attended the evening clambake, which was held at the Sacramento State Fair Grounds. In addition to the giant Concat, the Hoo-Hoo day also included a golf tournament headed by Russ Tracy, Tracy Lumber Company-retired.

Visiting Officer for the Concat was LeRoy Stanton, Sr., Rameses '43, and head of E. J. Stanton & Son, Inc., of Los Angeles. Backing up Stanton on the Degree Team were:

Snark, Jack Berry, president of the Sacramento Club, Jack S. Berry Wholesale Lumber; Custocatian, Bill Benson, formerly Sierra Mill & Lumber;Bojum, Erwin Bjerke, Berco Sliding Door Co.; Junior Hoo-Hoo, Larry Derr, Derr Lumber Co.; Gurdon, Ray Burdg, Noah Adams Lumber Co.; Jabberwock, John McBride, Vacaville Lumber Co.; Scrivenoter, Helmer llauge, Lumber Dealers Materials Co.; Arcanoper, Ted Wassard, Winton Lumber Sales Co.; Senior Hoo-Hoo, Mitch Landis, Noah Adams Lumber Co.

Highlight of the Concat was a bit called the "Tournament of the Mannequins," in which two teams of three Kittens each bent their backs to the task of undressing, and then re-dressing, two fully clothed department store mannequins. Besides learning a few new tricks of the

trade, the two teams also received an interesting lesson in female anatomy following the complete collapse of both ftannequins and the interchanging of spare parts and clothing.

Lumber Grcrde Morkings, Allowcrble Stresses in Gity of Los Angeles

(Continued from Page 9) Gartin notes. "We've made every effort to pattern this operation after such successful merchandisers as Sears Roebuck, \\roolworth and Montgomery Ward. We have put our merchandise out where the customer can pick it up and inspect it firsthand, price tag included. We invite 'browsing' but our store management is trained to offer assistance to anyone who looks as if he is rvandering or lost," Gartin said.

Village Home & Hardware Center has also gone a step into the future of do-it-yourself merchandising, by borrowing the grocery cart idea from supermarket merchandising. Fifteen of these custom-built carts are stationed at the yard entrance, available to anyone headed out into the yard to pick up a sack of cement, a piece of plywood, or any of the other more bulky items stored in the yard sheds.

The lumberyard lift truck is fine for the contractor who wants a load of lumber, but what about that weekend carpenter who wants a roll of roofing paper, a gallon of paint and some nails? A cart makes it easy for him to get his purchases back to the checkout counter in a minimum of fuss and bother. Otherwise, either he has to lug his purchases back to the counter, and make a couple of trips to do it, or he gets a yard man to do it for him and that means added expense to the yard operation.

The Village f{ome & Hardware Center is open seven

days a week. "After all, it's the weekend carpenter that we're catering to, therefore Saturdays and Sundays are our most important business days," Gartin and Finson state.

Store hours of 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays are featured in all Village Home & Ilardware Center mailings and advertising.

Merchandising Manager Sandy Stewart has already initiated a direct-mail advertising program to 3,500 local residents. Of that list, more than 2,500 names were gained from the grand opening registration list. I{egular weekly ads in the local paper (display and in the classified section) and spreads in the Sunday "homeowners section" further round out Stewart's hard-hitting advertising promotion. In addition, Owners Finson and Gartin like the Open House idea (and what it does for business). Therefore, they are olanning to hold an Open House at least every 90 days throughout the spring, suruner and fall months. These events will be duplicates of the Village Home & Hardware grand opening-free refreshme,nts, western band, dancing, drawings the works.

Besides heralding Open House news and merchandise sales, nevl'spaper advertising will also plug a grand prize drawing every 30 days. Names for these drawings will be taken from the firm's mailing list and the winner's name posted in Village Home & Hardware advertising. Prizes

will range from power drills and other do-it-yourself tools to more expensive equipment such as power mowers.

The successful association between Finson and Gartin dates back to the establishment of Gartin Lumber Company in San Mateo during June 1951. That yard now covers eight acres, employs 85 and utilizes 26 pieces of rolling equipment.

Up until recently, Finson has figured prominently in land development along the San Francisco Peninsula. Gartin springs from a lumber family; his father, Jim Gartin, Sr., was once owner of Stanislaus Lumber Company in Modesto. Ji-, Jr. received his lumber training with his father, and later was 10 years with Christenson Lumber Company in San Francisco. In addition, Jim has two brothers in the lumber business: Burt Gartin, owner of llome Lumber Yard, Inc., in Turlock, and Charlie Gartin, operator of Gartin-Ryan Lumber Co. in Walnut Creek.

Opening of Village Home & Hardware Center in Fresno does not represent the ultimate goal set by Gartin and Finson. Rather, it marks the beginning.

"We feel that there is an increasing need for operations of our typ€ throughout the state. The do-ityourself movement will continue to spread and population increases will continue to promote suburban living around our Northern California population centers," Gartin noted.

"We have tried hard to incorporate only the latest merchandising techniques into our new Fresno store, and lve will continue to be on the lookout for any further merchandising and store layout innovations for both the Fresno store and all of the future do-it-yourself centers we may plan," he declared.

Immediate future plans call for the opening of an operation similar to Village }fome & Hardlvare Center rvithin the next 45 days on the coast side of San N{ateo county, owners Finson and Gartin state.

U. S. Home Builders Touring Russicr

A delegation of American home builders left New York June 11 on the first leg of trip to the Soviet Union to inspect housing in 12 cities from Leningrad on the Gulf of Finland to Tashkent in Asiatic Russia near the border of Red China. The delegation, representing the National Association of Home Builders, is headed by Earl \Ar. Smith (11000 San Pablo Ave.) of El Cerrito, Calif., 1955 president of NAHB, who acted as official host to a delegation of Soviet housing technicians who visited the United States last October as gues,ts of the trade association.

"The itinerary proposed by the Soviets indicates that our delegation will have a good opportunity to inspect highly varied types of housing and construction. We feel certain that we will, in accordance with the pattern established by NAHB last Fall, be accorded ready access to information concerning their materials and techniques," Smith said.

The delegation was to enter the Soviet Union via Prague after a stop-over in Paris. Soviet officials were to meet the party in the Czechoslovakian capital on June 15 and, unless weather conditions interfered, fly to Moscow the same day.

The members of the delegation include August Rahlves (7614 MacArthur Blvd.), Oakland, Calif.

Joseph B. Haverstick, president of the National Association of llome Builders, announced that because of urgent business considerations he has withdrawn from the delegation of American builders who will visit Russia. He said that the pressure of his duties as president of the 37,000-member tracle association made it impossible for him to leave the

"I delayed my decision until virtually the last moment," Haverstick explained, "in the. hope that the horne building industry's most pressing problems would be sufficiently resolved for me to make the tour. However, it is now apparent that it would be impossible for rle to be out of the country for so long a time during the critical period our industry faces."

WESTERN DOOR'S OZALID Duplicotor (cbove) speeds up invoicing more thqn s(P/o, reduce3 clericol errorr, is expected to poy for itself in less lhcn one year. the installation of the machine have been more than gratifying, according to Hollis Jones, salesmanager of Western Door & Sash.

Based upon the savings involved in speeding up invoicing by over 5O/o and practically eliminating invoicing errors (all shop orders, shipping documents and invoices are handled in one initial writing), the Ozalid machine has proven in its first six months of operation that it will pay for itself in less than one year.

The Ozalid process, which is similiar to blueprinting, uses sensitized white paper and provides an unlimited amount of copies in blue lettering from one original writing. Western Door also discovered a side dividend from the new machine in that all orders could be headed up by use of the company's addressograph machine. Ileretofore, the customer's name and address had been typed in because the rest of the invoice had to be typed anyway.

Gomplete In-Trqnsit Service Offered by K-D Terminol

Alfred McCausland, executive vice-president of K-D Terminal, Inc., Oakland, announces that the Oakland dry kiln and lumber processing plant now offers complete intransit service for lumber products from the Far East through the facilities of Encinal Terminals, Alameda, and the K-D plant at the foot of 64th Avenue, in East Oakland. McCausland estimates that these and other arrangements made by K-D Terminal should constitute a savings of approximately $20 a thousand feet under existing conference rates.

K-D Terminal has also arranged bonded warehouse facilities through Hasslett Warehouse Company whereby warehouse certificates may be issued on lumber in K-D Terminal custody.

"In other words," McCausland states, "we are now in a position to offer complete lumber processing from ship to rail-and at a cost we feel will be of interest to anyone needing a reliable in-transit processing facility for his lumber."

Snark of the Universe Dave Davis, whose speedometer had already clocked more than 40,000 miles in line of Hoo-Hoo duty since his election to high office last September, added a few thousand more miles last month to complete the 1955-56 travel his office entails before the usual summer Hoo-Hoo hiatus. The Simpson Redwood Co. salesmanager (mostly in his spare time these last nine months, we guess) will do Hoo-Hoo duty this month and next in preparation for the big, BIG International convention in San Francisco September 16-19, but this was the final log of his monthly travels:

Attention: T. K. May, Director of Technical Service

Gentlemen:

Re: Minimum Property Requirements Para. 408-A-2-d

This will acknowledge receipt oI your letter of June 6, 1956, which was received while the writer was away from the office on vacation, Your letter presents the recommendation that we grant permission to use Utility Grade (formerly No. 3 Common) Douglas Fir, West Coast Hemlock, Sitka Spruce, andWestern Red Cedar for studding in the areas under the jurisdiction of our office.

While we expect to give your recomrncndation serious coneideration and will discuss it lrrith members of our staff as well as representatives of the Veterans Administration locally, it is our present experience and opinion that studs of this grade are not likely to produce straight walls in this area.

In thepastwe have had agood deal of trouble with walls which were not true and resulted in plaster thiclrnesses which varied greatly in the same wall of the same room. Various methods have been devised to try to gauge this plaster thickness and the problem has frequently resulted in additional inspections on our part.

It is our present opinion that sinceexterior sheathing, which aids to some extent in straightening bowed studs, is not used in this area. we are reluctant to reduce the standard for studs below the

standardgrade or what waspreviously known as No. 2 Common. If you have anypoints which may be used to support your contention that the Utility or No. 3grade is satisfactory for this purpose when used with walls which are unsheathed, we shall be glad to givethem consideration. So far as we know, this is one of the few areas in the United States where sheathing is not employed.

Very truly yours,

Redwood City, Long Becrch Offices; Stqn Lewis, Tom Philips Appoinred

Ted Dacy, general manager of Cal-Pacific Redwood Sales, Inc., Arcata, announces the opening of sales offices at Redwood City and Long Beach, California. Dacy has named Stan Lewis to head the Redwood City office at 2881 El Camino Real, and Tom Philips is in charge of the new Long Beach office 1ocated in the Ocean Center Bldg.

Lewis, who started in Redwood City June 15, came to CalPacific Redwood Sales from Bayside Lumber & Mill, San Mateo, where he had been in charge of that remanufacturing and wholesale lumber operation. Lewis originally entered the lumber business in 1935 and spent several years in the retail business in central California. He later became a buyer for Twin Harbors Lumber Company and in recent years was with Dolly Varden Lumber Co. (now the Jolly Giant Lumber Company), both in that firm's old San Mateo sales offrce, and later at Arcata as salesmanager. Tom Philips is a son of Don Philips, Sr., and was formerly in the well-known Los Angeles firm of Lawrence-Philips Lumber Company, as recently reported here.

In addition to the new sales office to better serve the California trade, Dacy now has Clark Taylor as buyer. Taylor will be working out of the Cal-Pacific Redwood Sales Arcata office contacting mills throughout the redwood region.
