How Lumber Looks

Lumber looks conriderably difierent in Cdifornia from the picture the national situation showr. So do rhingler. For instanse, in the Northwest where our Red Cedar Shingles come fro'm, the shingle market is strong, the price ir finn and ttreateng to advance, the shingle makcrr are optimirtic, rhingl€s are lcarce and getting scarqer, and the situatio'n ir strorrger tlran it has been in reveral years. But in Southern Cdifornia ttere are lotr of fingler on the docks, tfie price is comparatively cheap, and the demand ir lagging. Some difrerence!

The netional lumber market continuer very strong. In the Pacific Northwed lumber is scarcer than it hat been in five y€ars, rtockc are more broken than they have ever been in that rame length of time, curtailment continuea, lumber is v€ry, very hard to buy, lumber that is rold is dfficult to replace, and the rituation looks very good.

In California buying is light, and that rtatement coverc the entire rtate. A whole lot of lumber war bought during the early suurmer furry, and tte dealerr don't need much lumber. But while volume ir light, prices continue firtn, due entirely to the fact that you can't buy lumber to replace what you selln ro why cut the price? This same thought is aleo holding ffre retail lurnber rnarket rtrong tfuoughout the atate. No ure giving away lumber when you may have to pay more to replace it than you get for iL Tbere isn't any. thing dispiriting about the rituation It ir about in normal rhape, and volume should increase in the next thirty dayr.

It is frne to relate that nearly eyeryone who sells lumber in

California today, maker a profit on it, and it hasn't alwayr been ttat way. They have learned, alro, that reduced volume nececritates higher salea prices in ord'er to develop the ttnet.tt

Water rhipments into Los Angelee harbor of late have been aa followr: JuIy 1 to 7, 26198610,00 feet; July 8 to 14, 18,384q)o; July 15 to 21, 27,259,flX); July 22 to 28, 16,577,000; July 29 to Aug. 4, 19,585,OOO.

Ve'll soon be taldng about PUNTS, FORTY-YARD RUNS, and OFF TACKLE BUCKS.

There have been some minor rule changes tfiis year, no radical ones. For instance:

The lateral pass rule now tequires the ball to be passed six feet before it becomes protected if fumbled. Now the offense takes a chance in handling the ball in rcverses and ctiss'ctosses.

A fumbled punt is dead at point of recovery. The kicking side may recover a fumbled punt but cannot run with it.

The screened forwatd pass is gone. The ofiense cannot clip de' fending players before the pass is thtown.

Othenryise the game is the same. These changes may develop more deception and stately.

The rules of th" lumber game haven't been changed. A winner still has to serve his customer a little better and a little more economically: must be sure he furnishes the best material possible.

So you always find the winner in this game to be a friend of Redwood-the wood of value. It helps him give real service.

Random Editorial Ramblings

By Jack Dionne

The Millwork Institute of California took a great stride along the road to fame, when, at its recent conference in Los Angeles, it adopted its proposed Plant Certification plan. The act stamps the word "forward-looking" in indelible letters upon the Institute. It marks the first definite and practical step of the Institute to begin the exploitation of the remarkable products of its members. It gives to its members a tangible and interesting thing to tie their trade promotion work to, and in so doing tie themselves closer togcther. Up to now the Institute has known that its members make the best and most beautiful millwork on earth. But that has not been well knbwn to those whose money in exchange for millwork is necessary to make their business more successful financially. When the Certifica$on plan gets to working, they will manufacture up to a required standard, and will then stamp their goods with ttis mark of guality, and be enabled to advertise to the world the fact that that stamp is their safeguard and guarantee of this better artd greater millwork Luck to the working of the ntoj""a.

, A thousand times this question has been asked: "I{ow can an individual manufacturer help the lumber dealer create a market for lumber?" The Exchange Sawmills Sales Company, of Kansas. City, Mo., a great milling concern il'ith mills in the South and West, has probably done as much experimenting with that idea in thb past couple of years as any other manufacturer of lumber, and they have evolved sorn€ very excellent and practical ideas. Right now t'hey have out a vefy simple little sales and advertising campaign that looks perfectly good. It concerns a plan to sell hog houses by dealers in agricultural districts, and should be perfectly feasible. And it offers an opening wedge for creating more business. Dealers in farm districts would do well to write for the i"Tn"lFl They'll get it, quick.

fs the world changing? Frequently in this column we have been driving home the idea of the great change that is taking place, the craving for variety that the public manifests, and the need for the lumber business to keep up with the times. Along that very line, grab this thoughtTHERE ARE FIVE INDUSTRIES IN THIS COUN. TRY TODAY THAT WERE PRACTICALLY NON. EXISTENT TWENTY YEARS AGO, THAT EMPLOY THIRTY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

H. J. Kenner, writing in "The Executive" on "Merchandising on [Ionor"r puts great emphasis on the part that proven integrity and character plays in the success of a business, and points to the fact that there are firms who build their business on the fact that everyone knows they are on the square, cin be depended upon in every way, and always give their customers more than a square deal. Think it over, men. Does your trade think and feel and speak that way abqut YOUR business? If not, you have oierlooked the greatest thing in busin€ss;th: greatest asset in life. ,

The old order of things was jungle competition-the competition of the lion and the tiger. The new order of things is furnishing better human service, and so justifying success. Every man should go out of business who can't or won't keep up with the new order. The crook, the man of no dependability, must go.

Thomas Barlow Walker, One of the World's Greatest Lumbermen Is Dead

Thomas Barlow \Aralker of Minneapolis, Minnesota, died in that city on July 28, at the age of 88 years.

A mighty pine has fallen in his passing. To attempt to even highlight the real story of T. B. Walker within the confines of a magazine obituary, is a futile effort. Every page within these covers might be filled, with much of interest left to tell.

For the story of T. B. Walker is not only the story of a riran who amassed a wonderful fortune in the lumber business, but the story of a very long life so filled with well directed activity and admirable devotion to every call of citizenship, that a history could well be written of each phase of his varied life work.

The newspapers of his beloved home city, Minneapolis, to which he had been a marvelous godfather through two generations of well-doing, stated in writing of his works, that he died one of the fifteen richest men on earth. There can be no doubt as to the truth of that statement. With the possible exception of the original Frederick Weyerhaeuser, who built up a timbered estate in the neighborhood of a billion dollars, no other American lumberman has ever approached Mr. Walker in the quantity of his wealth. And it should be said here that few if any have equalled him in the good work that he has done with his great fortune. It is said that in California akone the Walker interests possess upwards of twenty billions of feet of California Sugar and White Pine. The market value of such a property in terms of today's values, stagger the imagination; in terms of their worth ten years from today, , the value should double.

But in reciting the life work of T. B. Walker, his intimate historians have used many great terms ahead of the title of multi-millionaire. "Courageous pioneer", "man of incomparable vision". "kindly philanthropist", "practical scientist", "one of world's greatest art collectors", "connoiseur of art and precious stones", "citizen extraordinary", are among the terms used to describe his characteristics.

That he was modest, simple, kindly, g'enerous, of the highest moral character and possessing outstanding integrity, are facts that his life story seem to thoroughly reflect. That he was the most charitable of men, all his historians declare. He helped everyone.

In addition to his great industrial and commercial activities he has for more than thirty-five years been one of the world's greatest collectors of pictures. He employ,ed no art collector, being recognized as one of the world's great experts. His early art galleries were in his own home, to which he built additions to house his pictures. He bought at home at first, and later went abroad for his greater collection. His first foreign purchase was Rosa Bonheur's "Lion". Then for many years he added steadily to his marvelous collection. One of his choice possessions is Rembrandt's "The Erting Woman Before Christ". Then, just a few years ago, he housed his great collection in a

palatial art gallery which has since been open to the public, and is one of the show places of the eniire continent.

In reciting the business history of T. B. Walker, three cardinal principles and characteristics are outstanding, vision, indomitable courage and unshaken perseverance. His mighty fortune was built on these three. He saw, long before other men, the great future value of Pine timber.-And he had the courage and the sticktoitiveness to fight for a great lot of it, and kept it until it made him an industrial monarch.

He was born at Zenia, Ohio, February 1, 184O, the son of Platt B. Walker and Anstis K. Walker. His parents joined the great rush toward California in 1849, and when they reached Westport Landing, now Kansas City, the father took sick and died, Ieaving the mother and four sons to take care of themselves. The mother succeeded in educating her children. So well did she educate them that the son Thomas was offered the chair of mathematics in the lJniversity of Wisconsin in his early twenties. He refused, because he had gotten the timber bug that was to make him famous.

He went into Minnesota and 'Wisconsin surveying the timber lands of the region, and his determination to polsess his share become his obsession. He began buying timber for investors, taking a share for his pay. Later, as he acquired means, he invested in Pine timber that was so far ofi the beaten track that he was ridiculed for his investments. It later became the most valuable of timber. He was in the lumber business in various wavs for vears. It was in the late TO|S 11t"1 he, with his son Gilbeit organized The Red River L.umber Company. They cut the timber from their lands, and later on the worthless cut-over lands developed ore, and were sold for millions of dollars for mining land. Thd early firm operated mills at Crookston, Minn., and Grand Forks. North Dakota.

In 1889 Mr. Waker began looking around for more timber, and after looking the country over, he chose California and began buying California Pine in great quantities. His 'five sons joined him as each finished his education, Gilbert M., Archie D., Willis J., Fletcher L. and Clinton L., all being actively in charge of the affairs of the firm today. The great mills at 'Westrvood, California, were instituted, and will probably run perpetually, such are their timber holdings. They also operate today at Fernley, Nevada, in the same stand of timber.

Mr. Walker married Miss Harriet C. Hulet of Ohio in 1863, and besides his five sons, he is survived by a daughter, Julia Walker Smith.

Mr. Walker had retained wonderful mental and physical health almost up to the time of his death, that condition making it possible for him to enjoy and indulge himself in the finer things of life in which he was so much interested after he had relinquished the reins of business management to his capable group of sons.

He was one of the most interesting, colorful and useful men in lumber history.

Larrick and His "Timber Tim" / Stores

Down at Solano Beach lives and operates a lumber merchant by the name 'of H. G. Larrick. And when wg sfY "lumbei merchant" we mean that in every sense of the word. For Larrick is one of those men who realizes and appreciates the fact that the world IS moving very rapidly, tfiit a business man has to keep right on progressing or become himself 'an obstacle in the path of progress, and he does business accordingly.

Mr. Larrick operates The Lumber & Builders Supply Company, with stores at Solano Beach, Del Mar, and Fncinitis. -That is. he is the official and financial head of that concern. What he really operates is the "Timber Tim" building stores at those three points. For, a short time ago he'announced to the trade of his fast growing and lovely territorv on the beautiful Pacific shores in Southern California, lh"t i.t the future his places of business would cease to be The Lumber & Builders Company lumber yards, and would automatically become the "Timber Tim" Stores.

In making that announcement through his own very re-

markable little newspaper, the "Sunkist Splinter," Mr. Larrick said:

"Timber Tim will become a real live personality and mean something definite in the lives of his customers, for he will WARRANT all the high grade merchandise sold in the future in his stores. If you will examine Webster you will find that WARRANTED means to assure a thing sold to the purchaser. That is, to insure that the thing is what it is represented to be. This implies a covenant to make good on defects. Folks, this is nothing more or less than we have been doing, but henceforth we will emphasize that fact by branding all our high grade merchandise with the figure of TIMBER TIM, and the words 'Warranted Merchandise.' These three TIMBER TIM STORES will serve the people of the San Dieguito and Broadway of the Facific districts with a coinplete home builders stock of building materials, lumber, cement, hardware, paint, rolled roofing, plaster, lath, shingles, brick, hollow tile, sash, and doors."

Then follorvs a list of what the three stores carry.

You should really see this monthly newspaper, The Sunkist Splinter. There isn't a more beautiful or more practical house organ issued anywhere by anybody of any size, than this delightfully prepared and printed magazine that Mr. Larrick sends to his trade in the three town territory once each month. Eight of the twelve pages is a sepia colored Rotagravure section, showing beautiful homes and home building plans. The other four pages are news of the districts. There is a special column, for instance, by the manager of each of the three stores. There is a column by Mr. Larrick himself. These contairt personal news, building news, and just geheral news of interest. Then they have a variety of interesting reading for their customers, crop reports, planting suggestions, building suggestions, and much definite news of the district. Larrick thinks it's a great magazine, He should. It is.

A LOVELY FIGURED GUM DOOR FROM KOEHL'S NEW CATALOGUE

It is a veneered door of Figured Gum, Segment Head, Irregular V.J.O.S., Moulded Water Table, Scrolled Apron, the nerv look-out type that is so appealing of late to the builder of fine homes. It is builtin regulation Koehl fashion on a core built entirely of one species of wood and perfectly surfaced, and is a strictly high class piece of goods.

..FIRST AID ROOM'' IS INTERESTING DEPARTMENT OF CRESMER PLANT AT RIVERSIDE

One of the very interesting departments in the very modern and attractive millwork plant of The Cresmer Manufacturing Company, at Riverside, Calif., is their "First Aid Department". The management requires that the minute a man gets hurt, even though the injury be ever so slight, that he go at once to the "First Aid Room", in the main office building, and have it taken care of. The men in the office are trained and equipped to take care of him. The injury is cared for immediately, and the infections that cause so much trouble and expense to the average plant are entirely eliminated. If the injury is sufficient to require the attention of a doctor, the office brings in their physician at once. They have saved themselves much trouble and expense by this completely equipped little hospital department, which contains every convenience for "First Aid" attention.

SPLINTER WOUNDS

A splinter lvound may include anything from the "garden variety" of black specks in the skin, to the eight-inch timber removed recently from the buttock of a boy who used a home-made slide of rough lumber. Not long ago a man reported with a three-inch hardwood splinter running the whole length of his finger. The wood was completely hidden but the finger was as stifi as if it had no joints. A more common variety of accident is the "subungual" splinter, i.e., running under the nail, partway to the base or even beyond the cuticle along the back of the finger. Of most importance, however, are the infected splinter wounds.

Fortunately, most splinter wounds heal at once without evidence of infection, but every one is potentially infected. Only the surgeon's cut in the operating room with boiled scalpel through carefully prepared skin can be considered "clean". E,very wound of the worker's soiled skin with tool or wood contains germ infection at the very start.

It requires a few days for these few germs to incubate and on the third or fourth day or later the injured individual decides that there is a piece of wood still in the wound. Occasionally this is found to be the case, but more often a small abscess or accumulation of pus is found where the sprlinter inoculated the deep tissues. Very seldom are these infections serious but every year some men spend a few days in the hospital to overcome the resultant blood poisonlng.

No. 3", and contains nine brand new door designs which Koehl is offeriug to a particular trade. Shown and described in this bulletin is a plain slab Philippine Mahogany door, a Quartered Oak slab V.J.O.S., a White Pine Door Half Circle Head with Random V.J.O.S., a plain Oak door with Elliptical Head and Rectangular Light, a Fir door with Tudor Head Shaped R.M.O.S., a Juana Costa door of lovely design, a Black Walnut door with Rectangular Sash to swing and three spindles in front of sash and the ninth door here pictured.

Al Koehl says if you haven't this Bulletin and want it, drop him a line at 652-676 South Meyers Street, Los Angeles.

How shall we avoid the dangers of these wounds ? First, examine them critically to see whether they go through the skin or merely into the skin. The latter very seldom give trouble. Those through the skin demand attention. Do not take out a jackknife and carve yourself. Wash the hand thoroughly, "prepare the surgical field" and then have a clean instrument used to renlove the splinter. If it is deep, a local anaesthetic helps.

Then the after-care. Keep the small wound bandaged until it is entirely well, not just for a few hours. Hot ap- plications night and morning for a day or two on even the most innocent appearing puncture wounds will further reduce the number of bothersome and dangerous infections.

"Safety First," our motto.

HOOVER INDORSES GRADEMARKING OF DOORS

One of the last official acts of Herbert Hoover as Secre' tary of Commerce was the indorsement of- the grademarking of forest products, particularly with reference to doors. Iria telegram sent to tlie Western Door Manufacturers Association at Tacoma, Wash., he said:

It helps stabilize trade and decreases distribution costs through establishing steady demand and lessening quality complaints".

Mission Sarr Juarr Capistrano

The mission of San Juan Capistrano is fast assuming the grandeur of former years whdn it was at the pinnacle of its glory. Restoration of various portions of the tumbled-down g-roup of buildings has been undertaken from time to time by historical societies and other publicspirited citizens who have endeavored to perpetuate it as one of the greatest and most romantic of California missions.

Latest restoration is that of the convenr school, recently completed under the super- vision of F. H. Ruppel, Pasadena contractor. The work has been done with an attempt to blend the new with the old, reproducing even lines of age which so characteristically mark the other buildings. Altogether it forms a creditable and harmonious addition.

The Mission San Juan Capistrano was given its name from its patron saint, the great evangelical worker and reformer of Europe, who even in life was hailed as a saint. That the patron saint in life had to battle against huge obstacles, coming through his leadership .with glory and vast accomplishments, was in some measure transmitted as a heritage to the Mission named for him. No other

Mission of California has battled against such odds, or has arisen so gloriouslli from one hardship on another, no? has reached such heights of spiritual glory and temporal development, as did Mission Capistrano.

The Mission was to have been founded on October 30, 1775, on the last day of the Octave after the feast of the patron saint San Juan Capistrano. But a temporary altar had no sooner been erected and mass said than rvord was broLght _them of the uprising and destruction of the Mission at San Diego.-Bells and other property were buried and alf hurried to the succor of the unfortunate Mission in the South. ft was one year later when they returned to found the Mission San Juan Cap- istrano.

Most of the records of the old Mission were destroyed in the San Francisco fire so that of the complete record of events .onlv items here and there have been saved for posteritv. Immediately after its foundation, work of-building was commenced and carried forward from year to year. Not another Mission in all Cali, fornia has had such a record of untiring zeal and ambition for building as has this Mi-ssion.

Mission San Juan Capistrano

Not one year elapsed but what found some -work of construction or reconstruction under way. But to offset their application came fire and earthquake to destroy their handiwork.

In 1797 work on the large stone church was commenced and foi the next nine years the Indians sweated to bring stone and cement a distance of several miles so that it could be strongly built. Then finally it was completed, one of the most beautiful churches in the new world, with six domes of cement and stone for its roof. But the structure lasted only six years for, in 1812 an earthquake came and the domed roof of which they were so proud came crashing down on the heads of rvorshiping neophytes. Forty were killed, only a few escaped.

But the evil genius which had followed its days grew more rampant after the appointment of Jose M. Echeandia as Governor of California. The year after he took office he emancipated the Indians from their Mission connections; in 1831 he secularized all Missions, and in 1833 divided all Mission lands among political followers and other friends.

Finally in 1845 the Mission was completely lost to the Indians by his order to auction the remaining property. The Mission building passed into private hands.

With the American occupation of California the Missions were reborn, for in 1855 the Supreme Court ruled that the sale of the Mission properties had been illegal, and the tumbled buildings again were placed in the hands of the long-suffering padres. By that time the Indians were completily dispersed and lost to them. Nor was it possible to carry on the work of rebuilding. Not until the present day has there been any work of restoration of the historic old structures.

Today, though, the Mission is coming into something of its own, although w'hat has been done only partially reflects some of the glory and beauty that once was hers. No longer do thousands of Indians flock about it for religious worship, and in their stead are sighteers and tourists whose interest, nevertheless, is the interest and fervor of the religious pilgrim, while the halo of former suffering has only added infinite charm to the present Mission San Juan Capistrano.

A necessary building will last a lifetime and during all that period offers to mankind and his possessions Eome of all the fwrdamental attributes of shelter, protection, insurance, safety, reliability' corlfort, cbnvenience, satisfaction, health, Iuxury, and financial balance.

Douglas Lumber Co. Has Attractive Yard at Phoenix, Arizona

The new yard of the Douglas Lumber Company at Phoenix, Arizona, which was recently constructed is exceedingly attractive in appearance and has attracted the admiration of all visitors. The office building is built of stucco which has been painted pink with light blue trimmings. The high gabled roof is of tile in the variegated colors. The yard which covers over one half of f city block is enclosed on one side with a high board fence with picket tops while in front the fence has neat slats with dove tail tops; the base and posts being built of concrete. The other two sides of the yard are enclosed with lumber sheds that are large and spacious and house the upper grades of stock. The rough lumber and timbers are neatly airang- ed in the center of the yard. A well surfaced driveway circles the entire yard which makes it possible for a truck to drive in through one of the front gates, load and circle the yard and drive out through the other gate without backing to turn around. At the rear of the office buildine is a Mission style 5f1uqfu1s-this is the hardware atrd stock room.

Joe Tardy, General Manager, has adopted a unique business slogan Jor their new yard-"Hot as a Depot Stove for Business."

Other slogans printed on the fence are: 'Tarm Trade Solicited," "Where Cash is King," and "'We know our S-hingles." In the accompanying- photograph, you notice the small houses on the tops of the fence posls. These miniature house are reproductions of house- designs that are _most popular and especially adapted to the locality. IJnder each small house is a slogan such as: "We will not rest until every farmer has a home like this one": "Build a home like this one and she will soon eat chili and call you papita. "Papita" is Spanish for "daddy.,, - Tttg Douglas I umber Company now operates two yards in Arizona';"one is located at Douglas where Joe Tardy was its mdnager for'rirany years before coming to Phoenix to build and operate the Phoenix yard.

Philadelphia Lumberman Visits Redwood Sales Company Group of Mills

v W. N. Lawton, Philadelphia lumberman, of the Lawton Ilooring & Shingle Co. of that city, recently drove to Eureka over the Redrvood Highway in company with Fred V. Holmes, Holmes-Eureka f,umber Co.. and Charles S. Dodge, E. J. Dodge & Co., visiting en route the mills of the Redwood Sales Co. group.

A stop was made at Benbow's Hotel, near Garberville. In this splendid new hotel practically all the wood used is Redwood, and the Eastern visitor saw some beautiful examples of Redwood interior finish.

/ While at Eureka a meeting was called at which 27 heads 'of departments of the various mills of the Redwood Sales Co. attended for the purpose of discussing the problems involved in Eastern shipments of Redwood lumber.

After a very fine dinner at the Eureka Inn, the discussion turned to the question of how to irnprove, if possible, the methods of handling Eastern carload shipments, and how to enhance, if possible the reputation of "sequoia Brand" products.

Mr. Lawton stated that it is only necessary for Redwood lumber to become more widely known in the Eastern territory, in order that present sales may show a laige increase', and he predicted a big sale for California Redwood in the near future in that territory. He has become so enthused over the possibilities of the future of Redwood, particularly of "Sequoia Brand" products that he is going to represent the Redwood Sales Co. in the Atlantic Coast territory.

Those present at the meeting were as follows:

The Kitchen

Bg lach Dionne

The average lumber merchant could get rich selling kitchens alone, if he went at it right. No foolin'.

Of all the changes that have taken place since Noah built that single'windowed Ark and kept all the living things of the world in it for several months, right down to the beautiful, stepsaving, ventilated modern home-none have begun to equal the change that has taken place in the home kitchen.

It has, by reason of the most remarkable evolution, become a thing glorified. No longer is it an humble room of stove, sink, table and cupboard. Go through the attractive nBw home, which shows the last word in type, style, layout, finish, decoration, lighting, ventilation, equipment and general attractiveness, and what room- is it that catches and holds the attention today more than any other?

The KITCHEN! Every time!

Wonderful in scientific arrangement you find it. Every location carefully planned. The stove, the cabinets, the built-in holders of everything from pots and pans to eatables, the ironing board, broom closet, cooling closet, wonderfully arranged and equipped sinks, a place for everything with the least possible room, a thousand advantages and helps that the old-time kitchen never knew, dl beautifully done with attractive wood and tile and paint and enamel, remarkable as to arrangement and utility.

It is all planned and beautified to help the lady of the house-the real builder and user of the home. Throughout the land the idea of glorifying the kitchen has crept into everyrhome building endeavor, and this will continue as time goes on.

Mr. Lumber Merchant ! Walk into a kitchen like the one described, interpreted into details of your own. Be prepared to show it to the ladies of your town, either in picture orlin reality. Be prepared to sell them through the eyes. Of course, as you say, it's "llard to create a demand for lumber." But it isn't hard to create a demand for things like THESE that are made from lumber.

Plenty of people in your town don't know about modern kitchens. Are they learning from you?

flonest, if you sold all the kitchen equipment possible in your town this season your business would be prosperous, even though business in general might be, as you say-"Very quiet."

Why not prosper-and make friends-selling kitchens?

BIG HARDWOOD FLOORING BANQUET IN LOS ANGELES

A social event of considerable interest was staged at the Cafe Marie Louise in Los Angeles the night of Thursday, July 26th. It u'as a banquet given by the wholesale hardwood flooring yards of Los Angeles to their list of sponsored hardwood flooring contractors in that city. There are about 130 firms on the sponsored list, and these firms brought about 175 men to the banquet, which was a very delightful one. Charlie Cooper acted as master of ceremonies for the evening, and addresses were made by Kenneth Smith, of Los Angeles, Secretary of the local retail lumber and millwork groups, and by Col.

Sends Out Trade Practice Agreement For Signature by Millwork Industry

Following close upon the heels of the splendid Trade Practice Conference of the Millwork Industry which was held in Chicago, May 15th, 192f., at which more than 84 per cent of the entire industry was represented, the Federal Trade Commission has mailed to the millwork concerns of the entire country an agreement, which, if signed and filed with the Commission, obligates the signer to join the other signers in abiding by the rules that were drawn up at that conference.

The agreement is as follows:

LITTLE POEMS ON HOMES

By Adeline M. Conner

Hearts and Homes

The roses dream of the dawn-light, The river longs for the sea, And for aye the birds are singing, Of nests in the wild-wood tree' For the roses the dawn-light's splendor, For the river, the curling foam, For the bird, a nest in the wild-woodFor the human heart-a HOME.

Seeking a Horne ' A restless breeze goes straYing, Across the landscape fair, It whispers in the tree-toPs, It searches here and there. It rustles through the grasses, It flies across the fenIt cannot rest until it finds, The little homes of men.

(Continued from Page 30)

Rule l5-"Definition of Qualified Manufacturer"'

"The industry hereby record.s its approval--of the definition qf- a oo"tinia marruf-acturer -of sash,' 'doors -and miltwork,to. be one who sells to qualified wholesale distlibutors and to the-legrtmate retatl trade in not less than cartoad lots, at a reasonable drtterentlal ln ;;i;; ;;;t the price at which th-e wholesale distributor is sold by the manufacturer,"

Rule lL"The Principle of a Reasonable Differential".

"Recognizipg that the expens.e of manufacturing,-selling and transoortins miltwort< products is appreciably higher for small-quantlty ltin i6r laige-quantity lots, and'ilrat the failure to apportion to each shipment oimillwork its correct proportion of such expense necessaiily it cr.ases the cost of other shipments, -the millwork indrrstry tiriirv records its approval of the principle of a reasonable differential iri prices in the-siveral lypqt q"! tharacters of sales."

Rule l7-"Adherence to Published Prices".

"WHEREAS, It is the general practice of sash, door .and mitlwork distributois to issue priqi schedules from time to time, such schedules presumably representing their selling- price.on give-n qu-a.1tities for ihipment io the destination or territory indicated, while as a matter of fact, in many iSrstances the sole purpose of s,ending out such schedules is with the idea of gathering in such orders as may come from the unwary buyers and trusting customers' at the same time making secret priceg to favored buyers and,competitors' customers in the way of r-ebates and supplying certain items at cost or tess, special cash discounts and gifts and many other unbusinesslike methods in order to'efiect the sale:

"WHEREAS such practices are discriminatory as between purchasers and encourage dishone.sty on the part of salesmen and the public, and should be condemned by other reputable merchants:

Forest Service Figures on Timber Resources

of the West

Just how much merchantable timber there remains in the West is a subject of intense interest to the lumbermen, not only of the West, but of the entire world, because this last great stand on the American continent must be the source of lumber supply on which the western world will depend for years to come..

So the following table, prepared by the Office of Products, IJ. S. Forest Service, Portland, Oregon, and believed by that office to be the closest actual compilation of the sort so far made, is of great interest. It is, as noted, divided into states, districts, and species, and will furnish the lumber student much food for thought.

Simonds Saws Exclusively at Great Plant at Lon$view, Washington

The biggest sawmill institution ever built by man is the great two unit plant of The Long-Bell Lumber Company, at Longview, Washington. Here stand side by side two great sawmills that manufacture from a million and a half to two million feet of lumber DAILY.

Naturally the saw equipment for so vast an institution, with its great planing mills, box factories, remanufacturing mills, etc., is a tremendous one.

The Simonds Saw & Steel Company of Fitchburg, Mass., with offices and distributing warehouses in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, announce elsewhere in this issue of The California Lumber Merchant, with pardonable pride, that this great milling institution uses Simonds saws exclusively, from the biggest bands to the smallest circulars,'and the finest resaws. All Simonds. This is a complim.ept indeed from a great milling concern.

LUMBER LEADERS MEET AT VANCOUVER UNDER AUSPICES OF HOO-HOO

One of the most important meetings of lumbermen ever held in the Northwest convened at Vancouver, B. C., August l4th, under the auspices of the Vancouver lfoo.Hoo Club.

Dr. Wilson Compton, secretary-manager, and John M. Gibbs, director of the trade extension department, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, both of Washington, D. C.; Snark of the.IJniverse James M. Brown; Co. W. B. Greeley for the West Coast Lumbermen's Association; and the trade extension managers on the West Coast, including A. C. Horner, San Francisco, and S. V. Fullaway, portland, attended.

The meeting, which was arranged by W. H. Crowe, president of the Vancouver_Hoo-Hoo Club; A. F. ("Sandy,,) McDonald, former member of the Supreme Nine, and Col. h-*.r("!Ioo_t Mon") Lightbody, former Vicegerent for Victoria, B. C., took up, ?mong other things, thi splendid opportunity before the lumber industry of tiking advantage of the co-operation of Hoo-Hoo in the promoti,on of wodd use.

California Leads Lf. S. in Air Transport Development

California is setting the rest of the U. S. a merry pace in its patronage of air transportation. Note these interesting facts:

In 1927 the airplane service that connects Los Angeles with Catalina Island carried one-fourth of all the air passengers transported in the entire United States. And not an accident in three years.

For several months past big air ships are giving regular and exact service daily between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The fastest non-stop train requires twelve hours between these two cities. The planes guarantee to deliver you in three hours, and in the months they have been operating there have been only two late trips recorded, once eight minutes, the other, twelve. Frequently they make the tfip 25 minutes inside of schedule. They serve a wonderful luncheon on the ships.

Los Angeles far eclipsed the rest of the world in its patronage of air mail service in 1927. The per capita use of air mail that year in Los Angeles was four times that of any other city or district in the United States, and twelve times greater than the New York City per capita patronage.

Dependable and efficient air passenger service between Los Angeles and Salt Lake City has been in continual operation for three vears. Plans are perfecting at present for

fast service like that between Los Angeles and San Francisco to connect these cities with St. Louis, Chicago, New York and across the south to El Paso, San Antonio, Ilouston and New Orleans. One of the Los Angeles-San Francisco planes would easily travel from Los Angeles to Ffouston between daylight and dark.

Not only are plans being made but investments are already being made on the theory that within ten years by reason of air transportation business people in Los Angeles and San Francisco will make their homes one hundred to two hundred miles away, and commute into town like they now come five to fifteen miles.

In the true flying sense, "It won't be long now."

MUTUAL PROFIT

Never waste a man's time by proposing to sell him somethingiin which there is no profit for him. Unless he wilt be the gainer by patronizing you, you had better not make the sale. I "He profits most who serves best." You must give before you can,get. If you give worthwhile service, you will get three-fold the returns.

Spruce, one of the world's most unique and valuable woods, useful for aeroplane and other construction purposes to a degree approached by no other species, is one of the greatest, but not one of the most abundant, woods of the west.

THE EFFICIENT MAN

The efficient Jman is a type, not an exotic. Like a diamond he is discovered, not thrown up by the sea-

He bears rleither reference nor credential, but his own personality

He is willing to learn, being naturally a better listener than a talker.

He is a good leader because he knows how to follow.

He does not mistake his learning for wisdom; his eloquence for philosophy; nor his clothes for his individuality.

He is willing to go slow, but he will not stop.

Circumstances neither overwhelm nor uproot him, because he is master of himself.

He accepts conditions as they are, and sees men as t'hey are.

'Whenever there is a choice he takes sides; but nerrer resists natural law, nor presumes upon his own infallibility.

He wins because he is..right rather than luckyi and his victories-they are permanent.

-Wade, of Fort Worth.

THE FIRST COMPANY

In a recent examination in the American Institute of Banking, one of the questions was: "Who formed the first c-ompany?"

A certain bright young banker was a bit puzzled at this, but was not to be floored. IIe wrote: "Noah successfully foated a loan company while the rest of the world was in liquidation."

BUT THE MALADY LINGERS ON

"So you had an operation. What for?t'

"Three hundred dollars.t'

"No, no. I mean what did the doctors take out of you?"

"Three hundred dollars.t'

"You donnt get me. What did you have?"

"Three hundred dollars."

"Oh, I see. I was just wondering." A Good Laugh Aids Digestion.

HE WON IT

At West Point there is a timely custom of presenting a loving cup to the officer of the corps who has the first baby after graduation. One of the cadets was graduated one year and forthwith had a pair of twins. He was given two loving cups.

A sweet young thing was visiting his home, saw the cups, and remarked in an enthusiastic way: "Oh, Lieutenant ! I didn't know you were an athlete."

MEANT THE SAME THING

"I wants to be procrastinated at de next corner," said the colored passenger.

. "You want to be what at the next corner?" asked the puzzled conductor of the car.

"Doan lose yore tempeh," said the colored one, philosophically; "de dictionary says procrastinate means 'put off'.tt

THE BEST GIFT

.

I gave a beggar from my little store of wealth, some gold; He spent the shining ore and came again and yet again, Still cold and hungry as before.

I gave a thought-and through that thought of mine, He found himself, the man supreme, divine, Fed, clothed, and crowned with blessings manifold; And now he begs np more.

A PAIR OF TIGHTS

Two Scotchmen took dinner together at a restaurant. After dinner the waiter brought the check. The two sat and talked for a couple of hours, after which conversation failed, and they merely smoked in silence. At I am. one of them got up and telephoned to his wife. "Dinna wait up any longer fer me, lass," he said; "it looks like a deadlock."-VVire and Pipe.

COAL

According to science, coal increases in quality with increasing age, and the longer it stays in the ground the better it is. No fuel like an old fuel.-Passing Show.

FOR LITTLE GIRLS ONLY

Mamma will tuck her little one in; Sleep now, my darling, it's good for the skin; And skin is important, for soon comes the day When baby commences her skin game to play.

Mamma will help you, mamma advise, Take the hard look away from your eyes; Mamma will tell het lamb what to do, Then Zeigfeld will come and glorify you.

The colored preacher had taken "Heaven" for his text this Sunday morning, and with unusual power and imagiqation he had for a solid hour pictured the Golden Shore, its wonders and beauties, and pointed out the delightful future that awaited the Faithful. Finally he said:

"And now, bredern an' sistern, all dose who wants to go to Heaven, please stand up."

Everyone in the church got up except Brother Brown, who held his seat, while from all parts of the church curious eyes gazed upon him in won.derment.

The preacher fixed him with his very inquiring eye, and asked:

..THEY USED THE WRONG PHILIPPINE'' . SAYS B. W. CADWALLADER

"Every now and then we hear someone complain that they used some Philippine Mahogany and that in rubbing it down they couldn't run the 'fuzz' of.f of. it and also that it was so porous it consumed too much 'filler"', we told Mr. B. W. Cadwallader, of Los Angeles, the veteran manufacturer, importer, and distributor of Philippine hardwoods, and then asked: "Why is that ?"

The Los Angeles City Hall, dominating the skyline of Los Angeles, departs from the conventional public building both in exterior and interior design.

The style of architecture might be termed as Italian Classic and its majestic tower gives the modernistic impression.

As to the interior, probably one of the most unique and elaborately decorated rooms is the reception hall of the Mayor's suite (shou'n abcive) which with its southeast exposure has a nrost cheerful, restful and quiet environment.

This note is carried throughout the reception hall by a

"Simple enough," replied Mr. Cadwallader. "There are about two thousand varieties of hardwoods growing in the Philippines, of various characters, hardness, and quality. The people you heard kick simply used the wrong kind of Philippine. There is plenty of Philippine that will rub down withoat'fizzing', will not take an undue quantity of 'filler' and will take and hold a brilliint piano finish. But there is also plenty that won'.t. They must use the right kind for the purpose desired".

Which seems to us to be a perfectly reasonable answer.

Exchange Sawmills Offers Dealers Practical Sales Campaign on Ho$ Houses

With a very keen advertising department o-n the-jqb, The Exchange Sawmills Company-, of Kansas City, lVlissouri, manufadturers of lumber in the West and South, is getting out some trade promotion stuff for their dealer friends to use, that looks both interesting and practical.

During the last few years individual manufacturers have been trying hard to devise schemes for helping their dealer friends actually create business, and this concern seems to be on the right track.

Right now they have a very simple campaign hot ofi the bat and ready for dealer use, that looks very good. It not only should sell plenty of hog houses in agricultural districts, but should act as an opening wedge for the dealer to get more business by demonstrating his usefulness to his Irade. The hog house campaign is outlined and contained in a neat fol.dei sent out hy the Exchange Sawmills advertising department. It is simple, easily understood, and easily attempted. The folder shows briefly and directly what to do.

The Exchange Sawmills Company have prepared all the ammunition, ready for use. The dealer writes for the ammunition, and is told and shown exactly how to use it. They furnish him blue prints of three types of hog houses, 'with plans for selling them either of three ways' Ready Built,-Ready-Cut, or Ready-To-Cut.

The dealer has a carpenter build each of the hog houses, paint them, and display them in his yard. Then he has the iarpenter cut up a set of parts for three !_rore hog houses, maik them plainly, and tie them in bundles. This is the Ready-Cut. - The completed house first built is the Ready Built. Then the dealer still has the other way he can sell them, the Ready-To-Cut, namely, the lumber to build them from, and a stt of blue prints for the buyer to use if he wants to do his own cutting and building. He gets either hog house either of the three ways.

Then the dealer takes the material bills and figures what the stock costs, and determines his asking price on the Ready Built, and on the Ready-Cut, as well as on the regular lengths.

Exchange Sawmills also furnishes the dealer with an attractive circular with his name printed on the front of it, that goes with a good sales letter to a selected list of farm prospects, advising them of these hog houses, and the three ways they can be had. The folder shows the actual houses. The campaign manager then says: "Do a little personal advertising of this new plan, put a little enthusiasm and ingenuity behina the idea, and make an honest-to-goodness test for results. The plan is worth trying.

It looks splendid. bther things coulcl- certainly be sold the same way.

KOEHLER LAUDS RAINBOW TROUT ON MOUNTAIN VACATION

"Sometimes it pays to be a'doubting Thomas"' says 'W. B. Koehler, secretary of the Weaver-Henry Manufacturing Company, who has just returned from a two-weeks' vacation in the California National Forest, about 100 miles North of San Francisco.

The above temark was prompted when the genial roofing executive aroused the jealousy of the natives by pulling fourteen beautiful Rainbow trout from Salt Creek which stream the said natives had loudly and positively claimed contained none of the finny tribe.

Several limit catches were recorded by Koehler who steadfastly refuses to divulge the exact spot of his operations, all of which savors of a combination in restraint of something or other.

The catch in the supposedly fished-out stream should teach us, said Koehler, that business can often be secured where people say there is none to be had. The proper bait, plus a certain amount of skill, get the fish, he explained, and in business, the right kind of product, with intelligent merchandising, yields the results.
