Here and There With The Red River Lumber Co.

The development and use of laminated wood is reaching all lines of lumber consumption since the construction of aircraft has demonstrated its advantages and brought out new glue formulas that make a joint stronger than the wood itself and that will rvithstand the severe conditions under which airplanes operate. Manufacturers of sash ancl doors are utilizing built-up lumber to give greater str€ngth, reduce warping and for greater economy.

The examples illustrated are door stiles made by the Red River Lumber Company in their new veneer factory at Westu'ood. Calif.. for use in their orvn sash and door factory and also for sale to the trade.

Beautiful panelled interiors in moderate pricecl homes and in stores and office buildings are now possible with a great saving in material and labor. Here is a California Pine panel rvith a one-piece face 60x120 inches as produced by the Red River Lumber Company. J. H; Rickard, manager of the Los Angeles office and warehouse at 7A2 East Slauson avenue, is showing some very handsome examples of these panels finishec[ in mahoganv, walnut and ofher stains. The grain has a soft, delicate beauty and a great variety of patterns. Rotary cuttinS brings out unexpected beauties in the California pines without sacrificing the qualities for lvhich these woods are noted-their non-checking property and their ability to take paints, stains and enamels with economy and fine lasting quality.

A complete air: washing and filtering installation tempers all ventilating air, reducing the summer temperature some thirty degrees below that ontside. Panelled walls in lobbv. fover and auditorium are finished in walnut, oak, gray. -rlfhe latest type of lightiirg and fects are us'ed.

Mt. I-assen, the only volcano in the United States rvhich has shown recent activity, is shorvn here in a peaceful mood, as vierved from Lee's Camp Lassen, National Volcanic Park. The pl-rotograph, contributed by the Red River Lumber Company, was made in June of this year by Mr. J. H. Eastman.

Logs of California White Pine are shown here on the deck of the veneer factory of the Red River Lumber Co. at Westwood, Calif. From this point the logs go to the steam vats where they remain for from 40 to 60 hours and then are peeled and taken to the lathe. Rotary cutting on the lathe takes off a smooth cut one-eighth to one-tweniieth of an inch thick, as required. This comes off in a continuous strip like unwinding a roll ofpaper. Logs like these are particularly rvell adapted to veneer manufacture.
