National Bank of Los Angeles, gave an excellent address on business conditions in the country and the future building possibilities in California.

John C. Austin, Los Angeles architect and President of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, told the Institute mcmbers that the Accredited Standards carries a fine message and contains much valuable information for the architects, also he hoped that they rvould be able to add to it so that the standards rvould be uniform in all architects' offices. He stated that the building industry and the millmen were not represented as much as they should be in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and said that they should rub shoulders more lvith the business men. The millmen should knorv the people they sell to, do a good job and get closer to the people, he declared.

Mr. Austin said that he had been familiar rvith woodrvork forforty years, and stated that the milhvork industry should be built up on a scientific basis. He related some of the samples of r'voodwork that he had seen in Europe, stating that he had seen woodwork in some of the churches there 5@ years old. Mr. Austin referred to the inroads of substitutes in the milhvork industrv. and regarding business conclitions stated that condiiions were shor,ving an improvement rvith the architects and he felt that rve rvere on the brink of a nerv era.

A.W. Bernhauer made a short talk onthe value of cooperation. and he introcLuced Harry' A. Lake, Garden Grove I-umber Co., Garden Grove, and President of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association. Mr. Lake said it has been a pleasure to the State Association to have such close contact rvith the Milh.vork industry in the past, and he urged close cooperation ltetween the two branches of the industry. He spoke briefly on the activities of the State Association, saying that there are 11@ retail lumber dealers in the state rvho were willing to work in close contact with the millmen. We must have vision, the business is here if you know how to go after it, and the man who sells California short is going to go broke, Mr. Lake said.

Just think of all the folks who went out to the woods and the hills this summer. All of them could have used boats to good advantage, but few had them because they cost too much and really are a luxury

They did not know that you could give them a plan and sell them the necessary lumber so they could have a boat for the cost of a good pair of shoes, or a fair fishing rod.

Get our boat plan service and use it! You couldn't serve your community better with so little effort.
