ANatural Trader

You remember theold story that has been told years ago in this column about the keeper of the toll gate in the mountains, who saw a car approaching at breakneck spegd, and realized that the driver had no intention of stopping, so he got as close to the side of the road as he dared, and stuck out his arm, shouting, "One dollar." The brakes crashed and whined, the car came to a standstill, and the driver alighted. "Mister," he said, "I don't know who you are or where you came from, but you have done bought yourself a car."

CEDAR SHINGLE RE.ROOFING CAMPAIGN INCREASES SHINGLE BUSINESS

Red Cedar shingle sales have increased this year, according to the replies received by the Red Cedar Shingle Bureau to a questionnaire sent out by them recently to dealers who had been furnished with their re-roofing service some time before.

Ninety per cent of these dealers reported an increase in shingle sales, varying all the way from "slightly" to 50 per cent.

Here is the latest along the same line:

A Texas frontiersman came riding into camp on an old flea-bitten mule.

"How much for the mule?" asked a bystander.

"One hundred dollars," replied the Texan.

"I'll give you five dollars," said the other.

The rider stopped short, as if in amazement, then slowly 'dismounted. "Stranger," said he, "f ain't goin' to let a small matter of ninety-five dollars stand between me an' a mtrle trade."

Max Cook Completes Busy 25-Day Trip for Redwood Association

Continued interest in and appreciation of the Agricul- tural Series of the California Redwood Association was shown by dealers in the course of the recent 25-day field trip undertaken by Max E. Cook, Farmstead Engineer in charge of the Agricultural Department of the Association. A very definite demand for additional and new materi'al to be added to this series was indicated by specific requests on many subjects not included in the series up to date.

The trip was made primarily for the purpose of calling on retail lumber dealers, renewing contacts and developing new ones, covering the upper Sacramento Valley, lower and upper San Joaquin, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego districts, and returning by way of the San Fernando Valley, Ventura and the coast route.

Calls to the number of 146, which included 114 retail yard calls, were made on the trip. Included in the orders secured were 5O bound sets of the Agricultural Series sold to 41 different yards, and 31 bound sets of the series were sold to dealers for their complimentary presentation to Manual Training and Agricultural Classes, these completing a total ol NO schools and universities which now have the service.

Specific requests were received from 27 d,ealers for Redwood Log Cabin siding patterns and Mountain Cabin suggestions, and 56 dealers were equipped, with "Home Inspirations," sales manuals, yard signs, etc.

Mr. Cook also gave special architectural and engineering consultation service, involving 25 per cent of his time to dealers on many subjects, including staining and finishing Redwood, Termite control and Redwood's resistance to termites, Sandblasting and wire brushing, Exhibits, Redwood block flooring, Modern merchandising, Redwood novelty uses, reservoir roofs, home plans and garden furniture.
