"Business will pick up" is the current opinion, "when they start building." Who are "they" ?
Why not "we" ?

Douglas Fir. A total of 349 sawmills reporting to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association for the week ended' August 16 operated at 47.21 per cent of capacity, which compares with 46 33 per cent of capacity for the preceding week and with an av e rage of 63 per cent of capacity from January 1 to June 1. These 349 mills, representing practically the entire lumber industry in the Douglas fir region of Oregon, Washington and British Columb ia, have redu ced their output d 'uring the past twelve weeks by 537,504,000 feet. This is almost four weeks' production for the whole industry at present operating schedules.
Production, orders and shipments at 227 mills for the week ended August 16 were reported to the Association as follows: production 123,165,273 feet, orders 124,817,229 feet, and s hipments 126,291,291 feet. Orders were 1.34 per cent over production and shipments 2.54 per cent over the output.
The Cal ifornia mark et looks more encouraging than two weeks ago and some improvement has been noted. Further improvement is looked for during the month of September. Lath is very scarce and the market on this item is strong. Due to the recent reduction in the cargo freight rates to the Atlantic coast, the demand on the Eastern coast has increased and many of the mills are reported to have advanced their prices on commons for intercoastal shipment. Unsold stocks at San Pedro on August 27 totaled 9,456,000 feet. 51 lumber vessels in the coast-wise service are laid up.
The Redwood market has improved to quite a noticeable extent during the past two or three weeks over what it has been since June 1. The California Redwood' Ass,. ciation · reported production from 12 mills for the w ended August 16 as 5,547,000 feet, shipments 5,057 , ,

The Pine market showed' little the' past two weelrs, but manufacturers are anbc1pabr1g heavier buying during September.
Maintaining fair ratio with shipmen ts and demand, production has for !he sevent!t consecutive week remamed a level approx!mately th:aty per cent below !he cut durmg the sa!lle penod a ye,ar ago, it is indicated in reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Henry Ford has addressed the public with a declaration concerning business conditions that absoiutely rings the bell on the situation past, present, and future, so far as I am concerned. The gist of his remarks is that we re looking at the situation backwards. Most of us think that conditions of a year ago were wonderful prosperity, and that conditions since the stock market crash has been industrial, commercial, and financial illness. Henry says it's the other wa''x*x
He says that when the whole world was going mad last year with the foolish idea of getting something for nothing, and a lot for a little, THAT was the time when we were going through a severe illness, and that the present condition is one of convalescence and recovery. The average man seems to think that when the stock market goes back to where it was last fall, good times will have come again. Henry says most emphatically no
This column has been ,tt* ,l ,", that same thing over and over again since the debacle of last fall. To go back to the mad condition of a year ago would help nobody in the long run. At that time we were simply going through a condition of high fever, and we thought it was abundant health. After the fever broke we went into a subnormal condition as a reaction. We're well on our way out of that condition. But that doesn't mean that we want to get the fever back. When everyone from the policeman on the corner to the cook in the kitchen was using all his money for gambling purposes, we weren't healthy. Mr. Ford says that what we are now going back to-and he says that we are well on our way back-is toward normalcy, not toward more fever and hysteria.
Yet the country i= firflO *r* ,n."*htless but intelligent people who are measuring our return toward prosperous times by the stock market strength. The fact is that ii we could get rid of the stock market entirely, so far as gambling on margins is concerned, we would return much more rapidly toward normalcy. Too many people are still trying to "get even". The normal things of life are not yet being purchased in a normal way. As soon as they are, we will be back in normal times. Prices may not be as high as they were once, but VALUES will be dependable things.
The American Constru*r"" *"..i1 says that the modernization of older buildings presents the most fertile field in the building industry for the next decade. Sure ! And for the decade after that. And this doesn't mean city work,
where an organization f or systematic modernization is worked out. It pertains particularly and most forcefully to the rural district, where the lumber merchant is in position to have his entire sales territory under his eye, where he may observe, list, and personally handle his prospects.
It has been a fertile field for a iong time. The trouble is that the short-visioned people who can't see the forest because oI the trees, and can't find the city because the high buildings obstruct their vision, haven't grasped the magnitude of the possibility, and have done little with it. With thousands of small orders easy to secure right there for the asking-if the asking is intelligently done-the dealer waits for the contractor to bring in some house bills for him to bid on. He smiles derisively when he sees a ten-year-old model automobile passing his door. And all about him are ten and fif teen and twenty-year-old model homes that leeil v761ss-properly visioned-than the ten-year-old motor xF+
Is he doing anything about it? Is he listing those old homes and their short-comings? Is he telling those owners what HE can do for modest cost, to make them more up-todate? Is he deliberately sticking his nose in other people's business in order to help those other people-and himself at the same time? Is he? ***
He wasn't much for personal publicity, although indorsing and aiding the greatest publicity campaign for his own concern ever undertaken in the lumber industry, and for that reason the average reader of lumber publicity knows many faces better than they do the face of the late George S. Long. But every lumberman, great or small, no matter where located or in what department of the industry, should know that when George S Long went to his reward the other day. the most powerful and outstanding figure in the lumber industry of the world ceased to function.
He was the executiv. nl"a orin" *"r"rhaeuser Timber Company. And the Weyerhaeuser interests are to all other lumber interests, what Mount Everest is to an ordinary hill. It would take considerable nerve to try and guess accurately the value of the Weyerhaeuser timber and miiling interests, because none outside of that great organization-and few inside-knows. But it is probably safe to say that they rank in value very closely with The ForC Mctor Company, and with General Motors. To call the Weyerhaeuser interests a billion doliar outfit, would probably be not the least of an exaggeration.
r( '''rttirrttcrl o11 l);1gC 8)
(Continued from Page 6.)
And over this mighty group of interests George S. Long presided wisely, conservatively, benevolently, and yet wonderfully progressively. In all things was Mr. Long progressive. He believed in and demonstrated his belief in lumber cooperation. Generously and freely did he sign for Weyerhaeuser the head of every campaign tl.rat seemed for the best interest of the lumber industry. He believed in advertising, in merchandising, believed that the lumber industry needed progressiveness and modernism, believed that they must create their own markets if they were to succeed. He was a wise, worthy leader. The lumber industry of the Pacific Northwest can ill afford to lose so great a character'
Building permits for Los Angeles for the first seven months of the year 1930 placed her third in the list of American cities, Chicago being second, and of course New York, first. The building totals were low in all cities, but the figures show that Los Angeles is more than holding her own, and that building conditions should have been better in Los Angeles so far this year than in most other cities. The volume was here, at least.
It is worthy of note ,n", O.rr""a has probably felt the business depression in the country less than any other state. This is probably due to the fact that Arizona business does not owe money to the extent that business does generally, and to the fact that Arizona is engaged in lines of business

less susceptible to the stock market coliapse than the average. Even the lumber business has not slumped and gone crazy in Arizona to the extent that it has gone elsewhere. Fundamentaliy Arizona is very, very sound, and faces a iong era of prosperity.
Lumber production continues very low in California. When the totals are added it will be found that California lumber production for 1930 will be considerably less than at any time since 1925.
I know a manufact".,"* ,r.- l.r C"tiio..ria whose condition is most interesting. I dare not give the name, but it is identified with the lumber industry, and manufactures things out of wood. This concern has many, many active competitors. Their business is very much depressed, prices shot to pieces, competition wild, running short handed, etc. Yet this concern I speak of has not had to cut its price, pays no attention to the prices its competitors make, has done a capacity business so far this year, and at the present time has its order file so loaded that they couldn't take an order for several months to come, at any price. I know these to be facts. I have asked friends of the concern the answer, and they say: "They are in a class by themselves". Is it possible that quality and reputation can sustain a firm, even in such conditions and such competition as we are seeing? It looks that way.

Wasteful, dir ty, o ld-fas hi oned moulding rach replaced by 4-SeUAItIj ntouldirtgs in full length cartons-cleun, protected, no TLtuste, gootl displuy
IN,IES are changing in the retail lun-rber business. The passing of the dirty olcl moulding rack is merely one sign of the nerv era of merchandising that brings modern sales advantages and sales methods to lumber.
Mouldings in Full Length Cartons, the most recent addition to the 4-SQUARE Line, give you at last the opportunit)' to put a stop to one common source of waste and loss.
The photographs on these pages tell the story -how 4-SQUARE Nlouldings are protected from costly damage through every handling from saw mill to final delivery to the user, horv the full length carton keeps these modern
mor-rlclings clean, horv the carton solr.es vour storaee problem and horv the label qir-es r-ou real displar-r'alue in 1'ourr-ard.
The eleven pltts t'alues built into the 4SQUARE Line have put modern merchandising to rvork in leading lumber 1'ards, east and west. These alert merchants know that 4SQUARE'S exact s randards, package protection, grade and speciesrnarks, trade-markand guarantee bring to the lurnber dealer a line of quality lumber products nranufactr.red to meet the bu1'er's exacting demands. Thel' know that 4-SQUARE with its eler-en plus values can be merchandised.
Nlore than 1100 progressir.e lumber dealers in cities, towns and villages from coast to coast sell the 4-SQUARE Line. Their number is growing from month to month. A limited num-
ber of additional franchises are available during 1930. The 4-SQUARE Franchise is about to become still more valuable. Important new developments in the 4-SQUARE Line are now

Let the elements spend
their fury against this (< (< <( Sturdy Rooflng !
Rooling for industrial or municipal structures, where large expanses of roof are exposed to the elements, must be of a sturdy, highly superior quality. Builders and contractors in Calilornia and along the Pacific Coast speci[y Weaver-Henry Factory-Guaranteed Roofing because they know this material is a scientifically prepared composition that will withstand the ravages of hot sun, fog or rain. They know, too, that these roofs last through seasons upon seasons that stretch into years of consistent, economical service.
All \?eaver-Henry Factory-Guaranteed Roofs are applied under the supervision o[ trained inspectors.... here is added protection for the builder, contractor and dealer.
There's no trick to selling Pioneer Copperclad Valley. All you need do is explain its unusual advantages; how it makes a more watertight roof; how its enduring copper forever eliminates costly valley repair; why it costs less when applied than other metal valleys. You'll find owners will instantly recognize these things, and your roofing customers will be enthusiastic about its simplicity of installation. There's a mighty profitable market to be sold . and it makes no difference whether the roof is of tile slate . . . wood, asbestos or comPosition shingles . . . it NEEDS Pioneer Copperclad Valley!
Ask the Pioneer salesman to include a few rolls in your next order . . make a display of one of them and tell your customers about it . . . then you'll see why Pacific coast lumber dealers have sold nearly twenty-two miles of it during the first six months of this year! And remember, Pioneer Copperclad Val' ley has no competition, it's an exclusive Pioneer Paper Company ptoduct.
PIONEER COPPER. CLAD VALLEY is packed in frfty foot rolls, 2 I r,2 inches wide, n'ith 9 ir^ches of pure copper exposed, backed *'ith a tough sheet of high quality asphalt roll roofing.

"Home Sweet Home,'-East Hlrmpton, L. I. The birthplace of John Howard Payne, author of that undying song by the same name. Built about 169O. The woodwork in the living room is exquisitely carved and paneled, and the old pine shingles, caressed through the years by sun, rain and the action of salt air, have weathered to a silver gray.
From an historic and a sentimental standpoint-very beautiful, but if you have an old fashioned home (not quite as ancient as the one herewith, of course) that is in need of beauty treatment, the chances are that yourlhouse will be of little or no value in years to come, if allowed to remain as is, so
The present is a very opportune time to talk this over with your architect. You will be agreeably surprised to learn how easily this can be done with SHEVLIN PINE. Modernizing your home, both inside and outside, with SHEVLIN PINE, will restore its youth, give back its self-respect, and increase its value.

Man has ever hastened to cover barren coldness, first with skins, next with hangings, and then with wood,- the intimate, sympathetic material that has been man's friend since the beginning of time, used in the peasant's humble one-room cot, ceiled in wood and decorated with quaint carvings-yet deemed noble enough to house his God, for Solomon, although stone and clay lay at his feet, searched the almost treeless area of the Promised Land that he might have wood for the Temple.

A young man just arriving home from college, wearing a loud vest and a tie that spoke for itself, met his father at the door. A look of disgust crossed the elder's face, as he viewed the clothing of his junior.
"Son, you look like a jackass,' he said.
Just then a near neighbor entered, and beheld the youth.
"Boy,'' he said, I remember the first time your father came home from college, and you look just as he did."
"So father was just telling me," replied the youth.
There is nowhere in the land any home so remote, so humble, that it may ndt contain the power of mind and heart and conscience to which nations yield and history submits its processes. Nature pays no tribute to aristocracy, subscribes to no creed of caste, renders fealty to no monarch or master of any name or kind. Genius is no snob. It dbes nct run after titles or seek by preference the high circlps of society. It affects humble company as well as great'. It pays no special tributes to universities or iearned societies or conventional standards of greatness, but serenely chooses its own comrades, its own haunt, its own cradle, and its own life of adventure and training.
