rhe REWARDS of the LUMBER INDUSTRY

ll In the midst cf the incessant ac-lL tivities of producing and selling lumber, there are golden moments here and there when a man gets new faith in himself and his business from contemplation of the good he and hig industry are doing others.

Such sn example are the following reflections of o LongBell salesman, es applicable to the rewards of retail lumber selling as to anything else.

Q "Industry-my, what that means L to a salesmanl" he declares. "It ie the open aeseme to real living. It means for one thing to me driving over highways and byways, over hills and through beautiful valleys in rny territory in search of orders, to help keep twelve thousand men at work so they will be contented and their little boys and girls can have Merry Chtistmases and Heppy New Ycars, and their wives can have conveniences and comforts, and countless others can have happy and beautiful homes.

I "And the thrill I get wher I get U a nice ordeq, especially when it Q.dO* comes hardt 'With an order tucked away in my pocket, all ready fot mail. ing in to the home oftce, riding over the wonderful hills, why, it is a feeling I can't describe-but it is a patt of my pay for industry.

/ "l frequently pass one country ll schoolhouse, built of Long-Bell nade.marked lumber, and 6ee the littlc folks et work or play, everything so nicely arranged, and the house looking so square and sturdy, and I say to my. self: 'Well, old boy, you have donc some good anywey, even if it is only so little-you have helped build a better place for the turning out of future citizens-fathets and mothers.' That always makes me feel more cheetfulanother dividend from my industry," f, It zs a great work to be engaged qJ in, this industry which makes better homes and more homes possible. The retail lumber dealer in ever! cornmunity stands foremost in the ranks of those who are building this nation. Certainly there should be well deserved reward to any man in having that setisfaction.
