How Lumber Looks

Seattle, Washington, July 10, 1941.-The rveekly average of West Coast lumber production in June (4 weeks) was 157,92O,000 board feet, or 99.1 per cent of estimated capacity, according to the monthly survey of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

Orders averaged L79,256,W board feet; shipments, 172,584,000. Weekly averages for May were: production, 153,767,W board f.eet (77.8 per cent of the L9Z6L9Z9 average); orders, 183,965,00O; shipments, 171,583,000.

26 weeks of. 194I, cumulative production, 4,224,342W board feet; same period, l94f,3,492pf,2,m; i,939, - 3,056,652,000.

Orders f.or 26 weeks of. I94I break dorvn as follows: rail, 2,463,542,W board feet; domestic cargo, 1,303,484,000; export, I05,4N,0@ ; local, 596,105,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 813,98g,000 board feet at the end of June; gross stocks, at 838,172,000.

More than ever before, national defense was the keynote of the West Coast lumber industry in June. On the basis of defense requirements for the first half of 1941 and estimated needs for the last six months, the industry rvill probably furnish close to a billion feet of lumber for de_ fense before the year is out. This demand is particularlv strong on high grades and large sizes that cannot be pro_ duced elsewhere in the United States, bearing on such items as piling and timbers for shipyard construction, planking, decking and keel timbers for rvooden ships, high-

grade boxcar material, and the maximum amount of lumber adapted to airplane construction.

Time is the essence of practically all national defense lumber requirements, and the resources and ability of the West Coast industry are being concentrated on maintaining its record of production and delivery of defense lumber on schedule. With termination of the strike, the industry is again operating near its full estimated machine capacity, under pressure of a tremendous backing of undelivered orders.

The most critical situation on the West Coast lumber horizon is the withdrawal of intercoastal shipping from normal trade lanes.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended July 19,96 mills reporting, gave orders as 91,499,000 feet, shipments 88,832,000 feet, and production 101,949,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the $'eek totaled 489,500.000 feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the r,veek ended July 19, 115 mills reporting, gave orders as 44,313,000 feet, shipments 36,124,WO feet, and production 28,744,W teet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 187.140.000 feet.

Lumber cargo arrivals at Los Angeles Harbor for the week ended luly 26 totaled 23,900,000 feet as compared to 20,165,000 feet the previous rveek.

Carl R. Moore Takes Charge

of Pine Operation

The operation of Scott Lumber Company, Inc., of Burney, Shasta CountY, Calif., has been taken over by Ralph T. Moore and Frederick T. Moore, Jr. of Bandon, Ore., and Carl R. Moore of Oakland. all of the Moore Mill & Lumber Company.

Carl R. Moore is vice-president of Scott Lumber Company, Inc., and has moved from Oakland to the mill to take charge of the operation. Roger Coolidge of Boston, Mass., is president and Raymond H. Berry is secretary of the company. John N. Berry continues as sales manager.

This mill manufactures Ponderosa, Sugar Pine and Fir lumber. Shipments are made by rail from Pondosa, a point on the McCloud River Railroad, which connects with both the Southern Pacific and Northern Pacific. The mill is on the Alturas Highway, 52 miles east of Redding and two miles west of Burney.

Forest Products Can Relieve "Bottlen ecks"

Washington, July 8-In addition to their important contribution to troop housing, shipyard and aircraft plant construction, the forest products industries believe that they can play an increasingly vital role in national defense through providing substitutes for "bottleneck" materials'

The industry is telling this story publicly in a series of trvo-thirds page advertisements, the first of which appeared today in the Washington, (D. C') Evening Star. Selected advertisements in the five-piece campaign will appear subsequently in the New York Times and Fortune.

America has ample forest resources and production can be expanded quickly without building new plants or "retooling." In a wide range of consumer goods forest products are ideal for replacement of materials indispensable to the construction of actual fighting tools.

Characterizing the finding and allocation of raw materials as the No. 1 problem of the defense program' the new advertisements sugg'est that a return to a wider use of forest products in plant expansion will make available more material for processing into guns, tanks, planes and ships'

KNAPPTON MILL BURNS

Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the 60-yeaf-old Knappton mill and more than 1,000,000 feet of lumber at Knappton, 'Wash., JulY 12.

The mill was operated by the Deep River Logging Company, Portland, and owned by Orville Miller and Norton Cowden of Portland.

Someone has wisely said that, no Fifth Columnist ever marched on his mission of evil, out of a home of his own.

***

Meaning that men who own their own homes are never destructionists. They build up, but never tear down. Therefore those who build the nation's homes are constructing a bulwark of maximum indestructibility against those forces that "bore from within."

Some commentators report that Hitter has been assisted less by Fifth Columnists in Russia, than in any of the other lands he has invaded. They explain that by stating that Stalin has been very busy for years ,,liquidating" all those suspected of being enemies at home.

{.*t<

Right now the lumber manufacturing industry is thoroughly enjoying the only tide of real prosperity it has known since the boom that followed close upon the heels of the First World War. True, there was a short upward spurt of demand and price in 1932, but it was very brief. The present boom, which has been in progress and steadily growing since this time last year, is really manna from heaven to the sawrnill folks after their long, long years of almost continual trouble. It is, of course, strictly brought about by the national defense effort.It has helped the retail end of the lumber business, too, but in much lesser degree.

!F**

When this country entered the First World War as an active belligerent, there came an immediate great demand for lumber; lumber for camps and cantonments; lumber for housing; lumber for ships; lumber for a thousand other war needs. Soon building for private purposes was banned. During most of 1918 you had to get a permit to build anything, and you couldn't get the permit unless the building was essential. Shortly before the war suddenly ended the restrictions had been relaxed somewhat. When the Armistice came they were immediately re_ laxed, and in a few weeks they were removed entirely.

Then came the post-war building boom, and everything sky-rocketed. We saw, as an example, softwood flooring

selling for a hundred dollars a thousand. In 1921 the bubble broke, and the price boom exploded with a sharp report and came down in a fine drizzle. From that time until the market crash in the fall of. L929, the lumber m:uket rose and fell many times, but always with the volume of consumption slowly and steadily receding. Lumber was suffering long before the market crash of L929.

The history of lumber since the depression started is fresh in all lumber minds, and too unpleasant to merit reviewing. The shores of the business sea were strewn with countless lumber wrecks, great and small. And with very few exceptions the lumber records from 1929 to. 1932 were written in red. Then came the happy upward bulge of 1937, and most students of lumber thought the long awaited return of prosperous times had arrived.. It was not tobe. The severe slump of 1938 put the industry back in the doldrums again, and it drifted along until the summer of 1940. And THEN the big show suddenly started. Since that time the story is well known.

The tumber industry J, ;"; a long series of years of almost continuous financial suffering. It had reached the point of wondering whether or not it would ever again set foot outside the wilderness of low prices and no profits. But when its ship DID finally come in, it was no rowboat. It was an ocean liner.

The moral of this story is that because the lumber industry has suffered more continually and more severely during the last fifteen years than almost any other basic industry, the enjoyment of this tide of prosperity caused by the defense campaign has been proportionate to the change that has taken place. At the present time there is an insistent demand for lumber throughout the country. For all sorts of lumber, but particularly for the softwoods that are used for ordinary construction purposes. Everywhere defense orders are being given right-of-way over civilian business. Lumber in many cases, is scarce. The manufacturers have no serious selling problems. Theirs is now a problem of intelligent supply. Their brains and

qnergies are devoted to trying to meet the exigencies of the situation in the best possible manner.

>F*t<

The demand bids fair to continue well into the future' How long, even the best informed, can only guess' It depends on many things; the progress of the war; the very fate of nations. But even the most conservative believe it will continue for a long time to come. Various branches of government call on the lumber folks to figure out how wood can best be used to replace and release for defense needs, many of the war metals. So the intelligence of the lumber industry has been mustered to attempt to solve the numerous problems that such a situation has naturally develoPed.

*{<*

The entire industry is trying to be helpful, more than anything else. And it seems to be succeeding splendidly' Production has been tremendously increased, and specifically aimed at meeting the needs of defense. Surely no other industry is working harder to cooperate with the defense effort than this one. It has learned a lot in the past twelve months, and what it has learned helps it to give the government better service. And at the same time it is striving to furnish the domestic building trade with its lumber needs, after defense needs have been taken care of. Not an easy task, and one that requires plenty of diplomacy on the part of the manufacturers.

Log Raft Reaches Mill in Two Sections

The giant log raft of the Benson Lumber Company, San Diego, which broke in two on July 7 ten miles southwest of the San Francisco Lightship; reached the company's mill in tu'o sections on July 14. The fore section of the raft was in tow of the tug Sea Lion, and the after section was towed by the Sea Ranger.

The 1000-foot log raft contained 5,270,743 feet of Douglas Fir and Hemlock and left Astoria, Ore., June 28. Despite the accident off the Golden Gate it arrived in San Diego 24 hours ahead of schedule. A survey will be made to determine what footage was lost when the raft split in two.

This is the 119th log raft to be towed to the company's mill from the Columbia River since they began operations in San Diego more than twenty-five years ago.

Lumber and Timber Products Purchasing Under Lend-Lease Act to Great Britain

Washington, D. C.. July 18-Up to the present time there has not been any purchasing of lumber and timber products under the Lend-Lease Act to Great Britain. This is probably due to the fact that under previous arrangements orders were placed through the British Timber Controller with American exporters and the existing contracts have not been completed and are still being handled under the purchasing procedure set up at the beginning of the war period to date.

Purchases of lumber and timber products under the Lend-Lease Act will be made through the Procurement Division, Treasury Department. Mr. Clifton E. Mack, Director of Procurement, Treasury Department, Washington, D. C., is in charge of such purchasing.

According to present procedure, requisitions from the British will be received by Procurement through the LeaseLend Administration and handled in the same manner as domestic purchases for the U. S. Government. Awards will be made to successful bidders complying with conditions, U. S. specifications, grades or standards, certificates of inspection, grade marking, etc. as specified in the Invitation to Bid, or with requirement specifications of the British Purchasing Commission, as indicated in the Invitation to Bid.

Invitations to Bid will be sent to those manufacturers (sawmills, wood fabricating plants, etc.) and dealers on lists maintained by the Procurement Division as authorized and recognized by them as in a position to supply lumber and timber products as called for. Attention is called to the fact that many exporters, Webb pomerene Corporations, that regularly handle the export of manufacturing mills, but do not export themselves, are not, in every instance, on the Procurement Division,s present dornestic list of suppliers.

Purchasing will be made for the United States Government and title will remain until such purchases made for the British has been turned over to them at such port or debarkation points as specified by the British I\{inistry of War Transport or other authorized official. If and when

necessary, lumber and timber products u'ill be moved on Government bills of lading to such ports for export.

The British Government, through the Timber Controller, states that in addition to the customary lumber and timber products considered as essential for war purposes, purchasing under lend-lease would include the following:

"Silver" spruce (Sitka spruce), airplane plywood and veneers, pitch pine (Southern yellow), Port Orford cedar, and certain kinds of hardwoods required for special purposes such as tough ash, oak, hickory, cooperage, and some poplar (yellow) and cypress."

Where formerly British purchases of special lumber items such as cooperage, battery separators, etc. have been handled through private trade channels, buf subject to import license, the Timber Controller, in order to simplify matters under Lend-Lease purchasing, is arranging to take over the purchasing of these special items so that in the future the Timber Control Department of the Ministry of Supply will be the sole importers of lugrber and timber products without exception. This procedure will not in any instance alter purchasing under Lend-Lease as carried on by the Procurement Division as outlined above.

Acceptance of purchases for the British at the point of export and transfer of title will be paramount to final acceptance by the British. In order to insure the British Timber Controller of the quality, grade and species required and specified, the Procurement Division will cooperate to any reasonable extent in incorporating in the Invitation to Bid definite and complete specifications or other qualifying regulations as submitted by the British authorities.

American firms qualified to bid, and interested in receiving Invitations to Bid from Procurement, under lend-lease to the British, should make request in writing to the Procurement Division.

FIRE DAMAGES MARCOLA MILL

Fire swept the lumber town of Marcola, Ore., July 14, destroying the planing mill, dry kilns, trucks and 1,000,000 feet of lumber of the Fischer Lumber Company. Eleven homes were also burned.

Competition Betw een Delense Agencies New Folder on Finishing Knotty Pine Threatens Price Boost, Say Lumbermen Paneled Walls

Washington, Jnly 11.-The Lumber and Timber Products Industry today recommended to defense officials the establishment of a central purchasing system for forest products as an alternate to present scattered and unorganized procurement.

Five representatives of the forest industries told Donald M. Nelson, Director of Division of Purchases, OPM, that the government is, to a large degree, competing with itself through diverse and unrelated buying agencies' The lumbermen said that a continuation of uncorrelated buying, in the face of an increasing demand for forest products as substitutes for "bottleneck" raw materials, will result in needless price advances.

The lumbermen pointed out that at least 12 different federal agencies are buying forest products direct from manufacturers or wholesalers, and are daily competing with each other; that these are in addition to hundreds of contractors seeking such products for defense housing, railway car building, ship and shipyard constrttction. They added that scattered buying, including the use of priorities and the exercise of emergency powers, is threatening to throw the orderly supply of lumber for defense requirements into confusion.

The forest products representatives, members of the I-umber and Timber Products Defense Committee, established last year. suggested that government buying be centered in three purchasing offices and that consideration be given to more extensive use of t'stock pile" lumber purchases. The three central agencies suggested were: One to care for the lumber requirments of the Army and Treasury departments; one to provide centralized purchasing of car material needed by the railroads and car construction companies; and a third for Navy and Navy ship construction needs.

The industry also asked that a priority rating for the equipment and supplies needed in the production of lumber and timber products be established, and pointed out that a ferv pounds of "bottleneck" materials used in mill and logging equipment could be a means of production of forest products sufficient to replace tons of scarce raw materials for both defense and civilian use.

It was also suggested that defense agencies facilitate

Portland, Oregon, July 16.-"Treatments for Finishing Knotty Pine Paneled Walls" is the title of a new 4-page folder published by the Western Pine Association. It includes new and comprehensive data on finishing treatments for walls paneled with Western Pines as well as carpentry information on how to install the paneling. This folder is designed to supplement the information contained in the two illustrated 16-page booklets the Association has previously published on the subject of Knotty Pine paneli.rg. One of these popular brochures is titled, "Paneling Old or New Interiors with Real Pine," which features the use of Ponderosa Pine for interior paneling. The other is called "Beautiful Paneled Walls of Genuine White Pine." It deals with Idaho White Pine.

Painters and Interior decorators rvill find much helpful information in this Folder No. 'lO7 about appropriate colors and finishing treatments for use on pine paneling' More than 24 formulas of new and modern finishes that can be mixed on the job are briefly described. For persons preferring to use ready-mixed stains or other prepared finishes on Knotty Pine walls, representative products of 38 manufacturers are listed.

Specific suggestions also are given in this new folder for the use of carpenters and builders relative to the proper handling of paneling stock prior to use as well as pointers rvhich, if followed, will insure a first-class paneling installation. There are sketches to show base and cornice assemblies and methods for applying pine paneling to masonry and wood frame construction and over old plastered wallsSingle copies of Folder No. 407, "Treattnents for Finishing Knotty Pine Paneled Walls," will be furnished free by the Western Pine Association, 510 Yeon Bldg., Portland, the flow of forest products by confining specifications to standard grades and sizes. Designers were urged to base their specifications on use of generally available commercial species and permit as many species as possible to be included.

The recommendations to Mr. Nelson were made by a committee composed of M. L. Fleishel, Shamrock, Florida, Chairman; Walter J. Neils, Libby, Montana; Corydon Wagner, Tacoma, Washington; J. A. Currey, Nerv York, and H. H. Steidle, Washington, D. C.

Fordyce-Crossett Mills are Pioneer Enterprises

Fordyce, Ark., July 25.-Movie and radio fans may know Arkansas for its Bob Burns, Dick Powell and Lum n' Abner; but the California building trade knows it as a state which produces a tremendous volume of excellent qrralitv lumber products, among rvhich is Royal Oak Floorirg.

This flooring, so popular with Pacific Coast architects, brrilders and property owners, is manufactured by the Fordyce Lumber Company and Crossett Lumber Companv, pioneer Arkansas enterprises. It is distributed by the Fordvce-Crossett Sales Company, western sales being handled at Fordvce and the Crossett office taking care of central and eastern states distribution.

Referring to a condition affecting all finished wood flooring, said to be peculiar to the west coast area, an official of the Sales Company remarked, .,ft is most unfortunate that the majoritv of sub-floors in the west coast territory are being constructed of green or inadequately seasoned material. Every dealer, builder and architect knolr's that green lumber shrinks after installation. When this shrinkage occurs in sub-floors, it creates tension or pull in the finished floor, resulting in opening up of side and end-matching. As a consequence, wood flooring producers are often unjustly criticized for faulty seasoning or manufacture, rvhen, as a matter of fact. the trouble lies entirely in the sub-floor, for the reasons indicated. Unless the use of such green material is discontinued, the trade will be paving the way for substitute finish flooring materials, few if any of which are sold by lumber dealers.,' In addition to Royal Oak Flooring. available in both standard strip and plank, the Fordyce and Crossett mills produce a complete line of hardwood lumber items in all Southern species, including FAS White Oak, plain and quarter sawn and are leading producers of Arkansas Soft Pine trim, mouldings and lumber. Specialties include Cedar Closet Lining and a wide range of glued-up stocks. Both Fordyce and Crossett maintain large pressure-treat- ing plants for the "Wolmanizing', of pine lumber and timbers. At Wauna, Oregon, the Crossett 'Western Com_ pany, an allied enterprise, also operates a pressure-treating plant for the "Wolm anizing', of Douglas Fir, Western

NEVER-Your Competitor

Hemlock and Spruce. All are units of Crossett Watzek Gates Industries, Chicago.

Behind Royal Oak Flooring and other Fordyce-Crossett products is an interesting history dating back to 1999, when a group of northern lumbermen established the Fordyce Lumber Company at Fordyce, Arkansas. Ten years later saw the birth of its sister company at Cros_ sett, Arkansas. Founded on the policy of sustainecl opera_ tion, both companies have adhered rigidly to that lrin- ciple through the ensuing years. Thousands and thousands of acres of timber have been harvested and reharvested to feed mills rated among. the finest and most complete in the South. Yet today these same forest lands are reproducing a recurring supply of commercial timber which is being harvested systematically as a crop to as_ sure a continuing supply for years to come.

With sustained yield as its underlying principle of operation, Fordyce-Crossett's manufacturing facilities are kept abreast of new developments and imfroved produc_ tion methods. Also, these producers are continually seek_ ing wider uses and distribution for products to which its comprehensive variety of timber and products may be best adapted. By this practice, sustained yielcl in timber sup_ ply is matched by sustained progress in refinement of output with attendant good service to tlre lumber dealer and his customers.

A. E. Harbidge Completes Fiftv Years of Continuou3 Service

Half a century of continuous service to one firm was celebrated July 18 by A. E. Harbidge, 68-year-old bay area resident and machine specialist at the Emeryville plant of The Paraffine Companies, fnc.

At a simple ceremony in the offices of J. T. Coleman, plant superintendent, R. S. Shainr,r'ald, chairman of the board, presented Harbidge with a gold watch. (Shainwald himself trails Harbidge's service record by only seven months.)

W. H. Lowe, company president, gave the veteran worker a three months' vacation check.

If Mr. Harbidge's service record were combined with those of Board Chairman Shainwald, President Lowe. Superintendent Coleman, Research Director Dozier Finley. Watchman John Peters, Box Shop Foreman George Manning, and Assistant Superintendent Ford Tussing-all present at the ceremony-the total record would date back D4 years, or to the beginning of the Manchu dynasty in China. Messrs. Finley, Manning and Peters were asked to attend the fete because they hold next highest honors in point of service years.

Mr. Harbidge was born in Chicago in 1872t-just ten years before a group of San Francisco businessmen organized the Paraffine Paint Co. As a San Francisco schoolboy, Mr. Harbidge earned "candy money" by helping John Alvis, the company's first factory employe, dip the rolls of roofing and make the paint mixture. After graduation, he was given a steady job-so steady that he held it through three wars and a half century of industrial development. He has seen the plant expand from one acre to 40; from one building to 1,10; from one employe to 1500.

Mr. Coleman says the oldster can do any job in the machine shop. "Heck, he grew up with every piece of machinery we got here," he remarked.

Mr. Harbidge will start his vacation the first of August. He's not sure what he will do with himself. ,,I like to travel, and maybe I'll just go around in my car,', he stated.

He has one son-E. A. Harbidge, a former employe of the company but now a radio specialist with the United States Navy.

STILL WORSE.

The young lawyer who had just got his license to practice, hung out a shingle over his office door that read: A. SWINDLER, LAWYER.

A neighbor saw the sign and suggested that it would be much better for a beginner to put his entire name on the sign, instead of just the initial.

"I can't do that," replied the young lawyer. "Why not?" asked the neighbor.

"Because my first name is Adam" replied the young lawyer. GOLF

There was a man in our tourn who happened to advance, His left foot very far in front while taking up his stance; And when he found he had a hook, which wasn,t very nice, He put his right foot out in front and got himself a slice.

And then, of course, there was the proud father who told his friends that his Freshman son was getting along grand at college, especially in the languages; he had just received three bills, twenty for Latin, forty for Greek, and a hundred for Scotch.

JAPANESE ADVERTISING

The Japanese merchants believe in realistic and direct wording in their advertising. Flere are some excerpts from ads in a Japanese newspaper that will give you an idea of how they go at it:

"Our merchandise is forwarded with the rapidity of a bullet."

"Our marvelous paper is as strong as the hide of an elephant."

"You will be received in our store in a stupefying manner. Our employes are as amiable as a father trying to marry off his daughter without a dot. You will be received like a ray of sunshine coming after a horrible day of rain."

"Our vinegar, extra quality, is more bitter than the anger of the most diabolical mother-in-law."

WHITCOMB RILEY'S LIVING PHILOSOPHY

It's nacheral enough I guess, When some gits more and some gits less, For them-uns on the slimmest side, To claim it ain't a fair devide: And I've known some to lay and wait, And git up soon, and sit up late, To ketch some feller they could hate, Fer goin' at a faster rate.

The signs is bad when folks commence, Afindin' fault with Providence, An' balkin' 'cause the earth don't shake At every prancin' step they take. No man is great 'til he can see How less than little he would be If stripped to self; and stark and bare He hung his sign out anywhere.

My doctern is to lay aside Contentions, an' be satisfied. Jest do your bcst, and praise or blame That follers that, count jest the same. I've allus noticed grate success Is mixed with troubles, more or less, And it's the man who does the best That gets more kicks than all the rest.

Redwood Display Card Popular

A special counter and window display card featuring Redrvood as "the Architect's Wood" met rvith such popular approval among western lumber dealers, to whom it was recently distributed by P. E. Qvqr€nd, Cali{ornia Redwood Association, San F-rancisco offrce, and J. W. Williams of the Los Angeles office, that a second printing of the card had to be ordered. Designed to tie the individual dealer directly in with the sales-building series of Redwood advertisements appearing monthly in popular Sunset magazine, this smart display is made of stout cardboard printed to simulate a piece of Redwood board.

Packed with eye-appeal, the card is 13 inches rvide, 19 inches high, and constructed with supports to hold it firmly in an upright position. On its face is a rectangular recess in which a copy of the ad appearing in Sunset is inserted each month. To the left of the ad in tl-re recess is printed the direct 1is-in-r'as advertised in Sunset." The caption of the display piece reads: "Redwood the Architect's \Mood."

The series of magazine advertisements carfies the thought-inspiring theme that when architects build for themselves, they choose Redwood. The ads contain pictures of architects, as well as the homes they have built with this durable r.vood, and the copy expresses, by direction quotation, the high regard these architects have for redwood as a building material.

K.y Plans for Pfywood Adaptations of NHF Houses

As their contribution to the current joint industry-government effort to better housing conditions on farms and in villages, plywood manufacturers have issued key plans to their adaptations of each of the eight basic designs prepared by the National Homes Foundation.

While the floor plans drawn by NHF architects were

available to individuals or lumber dealers who rvrite to Douglas Fir Plyrvood Association at Tacoma, Wash.

The campaign to bolster rural re-housing activities, undertaken this spring after a year's preparation by building material manufacturers and government agencies, now is under full steam. The National Homes Foundation, representing the manufacturers, has issued a booklet embodying floor plans of the eight designs with half of the houses for farmers and half for village residents.

At the same time the United States fnformation Service is distributing trvo folders as part of the program. One folder is a "Housing Road Map" telling how governmental agencies can help farmers and others to obtain a new home or modernize present buildings. The second folder lists services offered by bureaus concerned witlr better housing.

Here is a list of the eight basic floor plans of the NHF houses with brief facts offered by plyrvood manufacturers about the adaptations drawn for construction with the big panels.

prepared to embody modern principles of house construction with emphasis on the important needs of rural and small town dwellers, the plywood versions are offered to show what the finished houses can be like r,vhen that material is used.

These condensed specifications give floor plans, elevations and details for constructing walls of plywood. They show drawings of proper joint treatments, tell the thicknesses of plywood to use and list procedures for painting, papering and staining interior .rvalls of plywood and for painting outside surfaces.

There is a lZ-page key plan for the plywood version of each of the four different southern and four northern houses offered by the National Homes Foundation to show rural and town residents what constitute convenient. livable homes. These abbreviated specifications do NOT represent working dra'rvings; complete specifications and material lists for the NHF houses are obtained through lumber dealers.
