A model small-type home of Cape Cod colonial architecture is planned for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition on San Francisco Bay by the Western Pine Association. Located in the Homes and Gardens area, to the east of the South Tower, the pine home will occupy a plot of 8,000 square feet. The site will be landscaped with trees, plants and flowers native to the West.
Work has already started on the model structure which will use three species of Western Pine, Ponderosa, Idaho White Pine and Sugar Pine in the construction and furniture therein.

The scramble to get Fir lumber in Southern California soon had its pain eased. Increasing production of the Northwest mills, 62 boats for transportation doing their level best to ,carry the stuff, and a lot of willing salesman in the field, combined to put the lumber market in the Southern district back to a fairly normal basis in a couple of weeks' time.
There is now a fair -supply of lumber at Los Angeles harbor, prices of Fir are holding firm, the shingle market is strong although the price has slipped a trifle off the scarcity peak, and altogether a very wholesome condition exists. Northern California never got the scarcity condition that prevailed in the South, so didn't have to do any unscrambling. There is even some complaint in Northern California right now on the volume.
The opinion is prevalent all over the State that the Northwestern mills will soon be giving this market its usual heavy load of stuff to be consumed.
Nationally speaking there is a better balance at present between production and sale of lumber than there has been in the past six weeks. The last reports of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association show that, for one week at least, production has caught up with sales and in some territories exceeded them. which is the first time this summer that has happened. The last week reported in full by the National shows production 2N million, shipments 218 mil,lion, and sales N7 million The week be-
fore that production was 217 million, shipments 2N million, and sales 227 million The above figures are for both soft and hardwoods of the entire country.
The weakness in sales was in the hardwood department mostly, because the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, the Southern Pine Association, both reported new business greater than production. Western Pine sales fell below,production, but California Redhood sales stayed above production.
In the last week reported California Redwood and the Southern Pine Association showed sales still above production. So did Southern hardwoods. Western Pine reported sales below production. So did West Coast Lumbefmen's Association mills.
California Redwood cut 6,608,000 feet, shipped 6,416.000, and sold 7,433,00O feet.
West Coast Lumbermen's Association mills cut92,847,589 feet, shipped 88, 413,040 feet, and sold 87,125,D5.
Southern Pine Association mills cut 32,108,000 feet, shipped 34,451,000 feet, and sold 33,158,000 feet. Southern Hardwood mills cut 4,44O,m feet, shipped 5,118,000 feet, and sold 5,49O,000 feet.
While the lumber business continues to look good all over the country, big headlines in the newspapers the past

Oh, call me up for ridicule, And fill my soul with shame, Reproach, abuse, and obloguy, But don't misspell my name.
:fr**
Most folks hate to have their names misspelled, particularly in print. An old journalistic friend of mine used to always threaten-when I was on some speaking program -fs "giyg you three lines and deliberately misspell your name." He knew human nature, and knew that was a real threat.
{( ,i( ,k
Before those Canadian Dionnes came along with their gang of girls that arrived all at one time, I had continual trouble with my name. No one ever would spell or pronounce it correctly. They used to call me everything except apples and oranges. But the ,.quints" ended all that. Now, when f sign my name to a hotel register, the clerk usually looks, smills, and says, ,.any relation?"
Doctor Dafoe rr"rp"a, lool l" *"" on the air many times, and as good luck would have it he pronounced the name the same way I do, Dee-on, and that helped. Good thing he didn't use some other pronunciation. I would have had to change my method in self defense.
:trf*
Will Rogers said at the time the ,,quints" were born, that it was lucky for them they were born in Canada and not in the United States, because over here we would have made them plow half of them under.
i<,|*
And if Doctor Dafoe hadn't gotten them under the wing of the Canadian Government, it is a hundred-to-one bet and no takers not one of them would be alive today. As it is they are world-renowned, rich, and their parents are better ofr than they had ever dreamed of being. yet the old man kicks about losing his children. Worst case of ingratitude on record.
rrere's a new nor"" ti"".";r. swell human nature story, illustrating a frame of mind. Fellow on the way to the race track is heard to remark: ,.Gee! I hope I BREAK EVEN today! f sure could use the money." AII he hoped and asked for, was his own money back.
*:t*
A man in that frame of mind might do well. The getrich-quick frame of mind is the bad one. An old friend
of mine used to philosophize about farming. He said if a man went on a farm to make a home for himself and his family, he usually found a home, a living, and perhaps made some money besides. But if he went on a farm just to make money, he seldom made a living or any money, either.
Ran into a piece * ntr*.nj, .n" other day that hit me right between the eyes. "Nature," said the writer, "is taking the world away from the intellectuals and giving it back to the apes." When I read that it stopped me dead in my mental tracks. I read it over and over again. "Nature is taking the world away from the intellectuals, and giving it back to the apes." And the more I thought, the more it impressed me. Because I'm horribly afraid there's a lot of truth in the statement. Look the world over, and see if there isn't. ,k:t*
"There is a tide in the affairs of men." said Mr. Shakespeare, that is today running heavily and definitely to the LEFT. Everywhere. It's going to require a lot of straight thinking, and a lot of brave acting, to switch it the other way. Don't you doubt it. A friend of mine, a gentle, kindly, studious, thoughtful man, puts it even more tersely. He says: "The way the world is wagging today, the pigs will soon be eating the people."
"Thy will be done" seems to be lacking in human thinking. My will be done, is the harm doer. Arrogance, intolerance are everywhere. The Christliness of the Carpenter seems sadlY missing'
Let's switch to a pleasanter thought. Here's a little stanza that Douglas Malloch wrote. Douglas died the other day, leaving behind him an imperishable monument of beautiful and kindly thoughts in the form of poems. This little one goes: If I could make a friend tonight, I did not have at this day's dawn, One hand that held my fingers tight, One breast that I could lean upon; It would not matter what reward The hours have brought me on the way, If I could say "I thank thee, Lord f know I've made a friend today."

And the subject of friendship reminds me of a curious thing. A man who, in the past two years, built for himself a tremendous reputation talking and writing about friend making and impressing other people, is, according to frequent reports, the lonesomest man in his own home town. He can tell others how to make friends, but doesn't know how himself. Which, after all, is probably not so strange. Plenty of fine mlrsic instructors are lousy performers.
Which same thougna *O* ,i, ,o " political friend of mine, Jesse Jones of RFC. Mr. Jones burst into print and demanded of the bankers that they loosen up on their credits, and loan more money to business. When the news came round that he had failed to loosen up credits in his own big bank, he is alleged to have remarked: "I want them to do as f say, not as f do."

Some wise man once said that a man should never give advice until he's too old to set a bad example.

Lots of labor troubles. The other day I listened for hours to detailed reports of labor troubles in the lumber industry of the Pacific Coast. f heard things that seemed absolutely incredible. I had to look out the window to make certain I was not in Moscow, but in an American city.
***
William Green of the American Federation of Labor announced the other day that he had conferred with the President and that they had agreed there must be changes made in the Wagner Act. I'll lay six, two, and even, that any changes ever made in that Act that will be helpful to industry will come only after such a battle against Administration opposition as will make the Supreme Court battle look like a Sunday School picnic.
**rt
Yet there will never be even a modest degree of genuine recovery in this country until the blight of the Wagner Act and its present method of administration that hangs like the heaviest of mill-stones around the neck of industry, is in some manner or method lifted. How any man can doubt that statement, is past understanding. It would be utterly impossible to exaggerate the feeling of the employing class of this entire nation, big and little, great.and small, North, East, South and West, concerning the Wagner Act and the National Labor Relations Board.
To say that the employers of this nation feel completely outraged and indignant about the whole thing, is putting it in the mildest possible form. And will men who feel that way put twelve million more men back to work, do you think?
Their feeling is perfectly illustrated by the almost utter lack of new industrial enterprises starting in this country. There are practically none now. Even last year, when things looked like they might be approaching a boom stage, there were .no new factories being built, few business enterprises being formed that would furnish additional employment. Investors bought stocks and bonds, bought homes and things of that sort-they are doing so NOWbut ask anybody who knows whether or not industrial enterprises can be financed. Every dollar owner can furnish you a score of reasons right off the bat, why he doesn't want to go into business, or put his money into new enterprises.
And new enterprises, **- otlr""ss concerns, new factories, new commercial vehicles in almost countless number must arise if we are to become economically safe and sound and furnish our people genuine employment in gainful pursuits, again. Human ingenuity translated into innumerable business units must be encouraged to the highest degree, if our dreams of emerging finally from Depression, are to be materialized. ***
Taxation and labor are the two great obstacles to recovery. And the second is the worst. Every time a decision of the NLRB bursts into print, every dollar-owner in the country crawls deeper into his burrow. Lending-spending millions won't bring him out. Not ever. And, how any well-informed man can doubt that fact, is hard to credit. The proofs are everywhere. ***
Two young men, Harry B. Gamerston and L. O. (Lu) Green, started a small wholesale lumber business in the depths of the depression in June, 1932, in San Francisco. The firm of Gamerston & Green has now expanded to include two wholesale distribution yards with their own trucks and carriers to serve the retail lumber trade.
The yards are located at 1800 Army Street, San Francisco, and 9th Avenue Pier, Oakland. Both yards are well located both for dealers' pickups and for truck delivery.
Mr. Gamerston is a well known Bay district lumberman, having been connected with the wholesale lumber business for 30 years, since his start with the J. R. Hanify Company.
Mr. Green has been associated with Mr. Gamerston in the wholesale lumber business for all but two of the last 15 years. fn those two years he pounded the Coast counties territory for the Coos Bay Lumber Company.
Both yards carry a stock of Douglas Fir, Redwood, Ponderosa and Sugar Pine. A substantial quantity of shingles, both Red Cedar and Redwood is carried, principally at the Oakland yard, where Everett Lewis of that office has been referred to as the "shingle king."

The Monarch Door and Manufacturing Co' of Tacoma, Wash., have just appointed R. A. (Bob) Cole, of Los Angeles, their representative in California and Arizona'
Mr. Cole, formerly of the firm of MacDonald & Cole, recently returned with his family from a four months' tour of fourteen European countries. Beginning with Lisbon, the highlights of the trip were captured in moving pictures' including views of Hitler and exciting events at the time of the Austrian annexation by Germany. Holland at the height of the tulip season and a journey through the beautiful English countryside completed a most enjoyable vacation.
While abroad, Bob spent some time investigating various angles of the importing business, but due to unstable price "onditiont and political unrest encountered everywhere, it did not look at all attractive and he returned convinced more than ever that the American lumber and building industry is one of the soundest in the world, and he has chosen to continue in his particular field, the door business, with a view to adding other conjunctive lines from time to time'
The Monarch Door and Manufacturing Co. is one of the newer fir door plants, manned largely by old-timers in the business, whose policy has been evolved from today's need for a more diversified operation.
Mr. Cole says: "I've just returned from a visit to the mill and their set-up seems to fit in particularly well with the requirements in this territory. From every standpoint I am happy to present Monarch doors because I feel that in addition to the unique merchandising features offered they represent a quality of workmanship and material that is unsurpassed."

Following receipt of a letter from Harry T. Kendall, chairman of the reorganization committee of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, a representative group of 25 HooHoo members from San Francisco and East Bay cities, Sacramento and Stockton met at the Athens Athletic Club, Oakland, on Augusf 8, to consider reorganization of the order.
After discussion B. E. Bryan, former member of the Supreme Nine was instructed to convey the resolutions, findings and opinions of the group to Mr. Kendall with best wishes for the Minneapolis conference on August 19.
The resolutions were as follows:
RESOLVED, that the liquidation of the indebtedness of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo was one of the outstanding accomplishments in the lumber industry during the past decade, and that those who brought about this splendid result should be highly commended and congratulated; and that we of the lumber fraternity in Northern California express our deep appreciation for the unselfish work performed.

The California Lumber Merchant salutes White Brothers, of San Francisco, and congratulates them on completing sixty-six years of active service to the lumber industry, the state of California, and the city of San Francisco. It is a most enviable record.
Sixty-six years is a long time to give honorable service as White Brothers has done. It is the oldest hardwood lurnber concern on the Pacific Coast, and one of the oldest in point of the same continuous ownership in the entire United States.
The firm was founded in Jannary, L872, by Asa L. White, and Peter White, and has been doing business continuously in San Francisco ever since. The big main yard is located at Sth and Brannon Streets, just one block from the main entrance to the Oakland-San Francisco bridge. White Brothers' big sign can be
For the first time in history the asphalt industry will meet on the West Coast.

Helm, of The Standard Oil Company, of New Jersey, and president of the Institute, will oreside.
plainly seen by the bridge traffic. Their yard in Oakrand is at 500 High Street.
W. T. White, president of the company, is the son of Asa L. White. C. H. White, vice president and general manager, is the son of Jacob W. White, who was associated with his brothers who founded the business. There is a third generation of Whites actively identified with the business. Don White is in the San Francisco office, and Charles in the Oakland office. Both are sons of C. H. White.
Peter White, one of the founders of White Brothers, had been in the hardwood business in San Francisco four years before he and Asa White formed White Brothers, so the White family has been continuously in the business in San Francisco seventy years. The founders came from New Brunswick.

"Weldwood is now the brightest star in the plywood sky; it is simply a 'natural' in wooden building material," said N. J. Sorensen, general manager of United States Plywood Corporation, at Los Angeles. He has a right to be enthusiastic. What the original plywood was to ordinary lumber, Weldwood is to ordinary plywood. It means outdoor plywood, a plywood that can be used for exterior use, in all sorts of weather and under all sorts of conditions. It is waterproof, vermin-proof, and highly heatresistant.
It has opened up new fields of plywood uses never before dreamed of. You can now build house exteriors, barns, sheds, trailers, signs, wagon and truck bodies, garages' store fronts, farm buildings and equipment, bill boards, boats, almost anything you want to use it for, out of Weldwood.
No wonder Mr. Sorensen reports that its use is growing daily as innumerable new ways of using it are discovered by the building trade everywhere.

Oratory ofrers the acme of human delight; it offers the nectar that Jupiter sips; it offers the draft that intoxicates the gods, the divine felicity of lifting up and swaying mankind. There is nothing greater on this earth. 'Tis the breath Sftfre Eternal-the,miss of the Immortal
Oratory is far above houses and lands, offices and emoluments, possessions and power. While it may secure all of these it must not for a moment be classed with them. These things offer nothing that is worthy of a high ambition. Enjoyed to their fullest, ttrey leave you hard, wrinkled, and miserable. Get all they can give and the hand will be empty, the mind hungry, and the soul sh'riveled.
Oratory is an individual accomplishment, and no vicissitudes of fortune can wrest it from the owner. It points the martyr's path to the future; it guides the reaper's hand in the present, and it turns the face of ambition toward the delectable hills of achievement. One great speech made to an intelligent audience in favor of the rights of man will. compensate for a life of labor, will crown a career with Blory, and give a joy that is born of the divinities. There is no tiue orator who is not also a hero.-John p. Altgeld.

000,000 feet, and this will be logged on a sustained yield basis. Logging and sawmill operations will be carried on for 10 months of the year.
The sawmill is electrically operated and modern in every respect. It is equipped with a nine-foot Prescott band mill. All other equipment is of the latest type.
Leo C. Chase, formerly assistant manager of the BylesJamison Lumber Company, is resident manager at Johnsondale, and G. B. Mathews, formerly with Madera Sugar To Serve Pine Company, is superintendent.
Announcement was made in the last issue of this paper of the appointment'of Henry E. Pries as sales manager for the Mt. Whitney Lumber Company, whose main office is at 3030 East Pico Street, Los Angeles.
The announcement was made by William E. Arblaster, vice-president and general manager of the company, well known Los Angeles lumberman.
The company's fine new sawmill, which started operating on June 1, is located at Johnsondale, Calif., named after W. S. Johnson, president of the concern, who is also president of the American Box Corporation, San Francisco, and one of the best known wooden box manufacturers and distributors in the country.
The mill is only 20O miles from Los Angeles, and lumber is hauled to Los Angeles over good roads all the way. In an emergency the company can give Z4-hour service on orders.
Plans are being made to serve the wholesale trade from Los Angeles stocks in the winter months.
Mt. Whitney Lumber Company is cutting Ponderosa and Sugar Pine, White Fir and Incense Cedar. The main part of the cut is, of course, Pine-Ponderosa and Sugar Pine running in about equal proportions.
The company has already received many compliments on the fine quality and texture of its Ponderosa Pine, and the Sugar Pine is equal to the finest.
The capacity of the sawmill is 125,000 feet in two shifts. Production will be 20,000,000 feet a year for the first three years. The stand of timber is estimated at more than 300,-
Henry Pries, the new sales manager, is a well known lumberman who needs no introduction to the trade in Southern California. His background of experience in the manufacturing and wholesaling branches of the business has equipped him well for his new position.
Mr. Pries started his career in the lumber business as a boy with the Long-Bell Lumber Company in Kansas City, so that in spite of his 30 years' experience he is still a young man. He left Kansas City in 1909 to come to California to work for the Weed Lumber Company, Weed. He worked there in various capacities for 14 years and then came to Los Angeles to join the stafi of E. J. Stanton & Son. He remained with this firm for more than 15 years, resigning August 15 to take his present position. In thls period he traveled the various territories, and for the last several years specialized. in calling on the motion picture studios. As a result of his experience he has a very large acquaintance and a great many friends in the lumber business who wish him well in his new connection.
California Lumbermen's Council will hold its seventh annual meeting at Mountain View Ranch Hotel, near Santa Cruz, Calif., on September 17 and 18.
More than 200 attended the annual meeting last year at this resort, and the gathering included members, wholesalers and distributors of lumber and allied products.
Cost of registration is $10.00 per person. This includes entertainment, banquet, midnight lunch. Sunday breakfast and dinner and hotel accommodations. Checks for reservations should be sent at once to Bernard B. Barber, secretary, California Lunmbermen's Council, 234 Rowell Building, Fresno.

Ramroded by that able Secretary of the Association, Earl Galbraith, the Wholesale Sash & Door Association of Southern California, held a grand midsummer golf and dinner meeting on August 17 at the Altadena Country Club, Altadena. About forty members and guests teed off for golf at one o'clock in the afternoon. "Pick" Maule, of Pacific Wood Products Company, assisted Mr. Galbraith in arranging the foursomes and likewise the handicaps. All players were searched for weapons before being allowed to drive off, and amazement knew no bounds when only two pints and a half dozen small flasks were discovered in the entire assemblage.
On account of the fact that there were a number of guests among the players, including a foursome of glass rn€n, sp€cial ground rules were created by the committee. One of the most important special rules invoked was the one that provided that whenever a player stoops over close to his ball he is penalized a stroke. Amazingly improved lies following such action at previous tournaments were the cause of this special rule being enacted. All expletive words ending in "e11", "am", and t'itch" were likewise barred by the committee. This was meant to improve the morals as well as the golf of the players.
When the golfing fray ended it was found that only one man was satisfied with his score. It is related by a member of unquestioned veracity that Dee Essley was down in a sand pit blasting away, when another player asked him: "How's your game, Dee?" Dee replied, "None of your business, you big Sorand-So, and if you weren't a friend of mine I wouldn't tell you that much !" A good time was had by all.
When they all got cleaned up from the golfing fray and had crooked an elbow or two in the clubhouse, they sat down to a very fine dinner of steak and other stout viands. When the food had been partaken of, D4vid Teachout took charge of the prog'ram and held sway for a half hour in very graceful style. First he called on Jack Dionne for a speech, and instead of a speech Mr. Dionne told a bunch of stories. llis announcement that he was NOT going to make a speech was the cause of a round of applause.
After that came the presentation of the trophies. If there was anyone present who did not get a trophy of some sort for something or other, he must have been asleep under the table. Everyone got something to take home and lie about.
But "Pick" Maule got a real trophy, permanent possession of the handsome silver cup which he had won twice before. At the previous tournament "Pick" shot an 85. This time he took no chanees. He quit missing on purpose and turned in a card of 73 gross, which is good golf in any country, and especially on a course where down is up and up is down on every green because of the efiect of the near-by mountains, or something of that sort. Anyway, he got the trophy and a big hand. He refused to make a speech and that got him more applause.
Then Mr. Teachout declared the meeting adjourned and they went on their way, to meet again in 6O days, and start playing anew for another trophy which Earl Galbraith is going to offer.
Announcement was made a few days ago by Lloyd Swayne, president of the Swayne Lumber Company, Oroville, Calif., of the appointment of G. W. Ackerman as sales manager.
Mr. Ackerman has been for some years with the Clover Valley Lumber Company, Loyalto,n, as assistant sales manager, and was sales manager of the Feather River Lumber Company, Delleker, for several years.
L. G. Burns, Burns Lumber Company, Los Angeles, recently spent several weeks in the Northwest, with headquarters in Seattle, on a combination vacation and business trip. I{e was accompanied by Mrs. Burns and their son Jimmy. They traveled by train, shipping their car both ways by boat.
Charles E. Kendall has joined the sales staff of MacDonald-Bergstrom, Inc., and is covering his old territory, calling on the retail lumber trade in Santa Barbara, Orange County, Long Beach and the Beach territory. Charlie was formerly with J. J. (Jack) Rea, Los Angeles wholesale lumberman.
San Gabriel Valley Lumber Company, an important factor in the distribution of lumber and building materials in Southern California, has its headquarters at 311 W. Mission Street, San Gabriel, where a large yard covering several acres is operated. The company also has yards at Arcadia, Temple City and Baldwin Park. The firm was incorporated in 1904.
Leland Muller is vice-president and general manager of the company. W. H. Marmion is manager of the Arcadia yard. Both are sons of the founders, H. J. Muller and W. F. Marmion, who were for many years well known figures in the retail lumber business.
Bailey Muller is manager of the Temple City yard, and Glenn Wilcox manages the Baldwin Park yard.
A very large stock of lumber is carried at the San Gabriel yard, and all of it is under cover, insuring delivery to the job in first class condition. A number of new sheds were completed recently to take care of increased stocks of
Bill Wilson is now with the American Hardwood Company of Los Angeles and is in charge of the wholesale department. The company is enlarging the wholesale end of its business.
Mr. Wilson has been connected with the hardwood business for many years, starting in San Francisco in 1911. From 1914 to 1918, he traveled in Central South America and Southern Mexico, trading in Mahogany, Spanish Cedar and other tropical hardwoods. Fle operated the Wm' M.

Leland Muller drew the attention of a representative of The California Lumber Merchant to some Redwood shingles which were given to him a few r,r'eeks ago, and which had been taken off a nearby house after being in service 88 years. It is an interesting coincidence that Mr. Muller's father was at one time manager of the concern that originally sold the shingles in 1850, the W. H. Perry Lumber Company of San Pedro.

The ordinance revising the Los Angeles city building code requirements for'wood construction in buildings and providing for the use of grade-marked lumber for all framing members, such as joists, studs, rafters, columns and beams became effective August 29. The ordinance was drafted by Clyde Makutchan, and passed by the City Council on July 13. Mayor Frank L. Shaw approved the ordinance on luly 22.
In an Association bulletin to the members of the Lumber and Allied Products Institute of Los Angeles on the new building code regulation, Secretary Kenneth Smith says:
"August D, 1938 will be a red letter day in the life of the lumber industry in Los Angeles
"The most important change to you is that definite grades are now provided on all lumber except one inch; whereas, in the past there has been no grade provision whatever. The regulations as to grades very largely follow the existing uniform building codes used by many neighboring cities and the F.H.A. regulations. Nothing lower than No. I may be used for joists, rafters, etc., and nothing lower than No. 2 may be used for studs, posts, struts, etc'.
"The old code merely provided that Douglas Fir working stress should be calculated on 1620 pounds and this amendment adopts the standard industry recommendations. Live load provisions which were out of line with actual performance and standard practice are now standard with other codes and with good engineering practice.
"Where formerly data on beams, columns, etc. was obsolete and sketchy, full design data for solid, laminated and built-up members is now provided. Where there was no provision for joints and fastenings, there is now up-to-date recognition of nails, bolts, lag screws, wood screws, dowels, and timber connectors with design, stresses, and installation data provided.
"For the very meager requirements as to light frame and heavy timber construction in the old code there is now detailed provisions for residepce framing, commercial buildings, roof trusses, "mill constru.ction", heavy duty floors, etc.
"The grade-marking provision is not as strong as we
might have liked, but it does require all lumber to be grade-marked except boards. In connection with this and also two inch No. 3, the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners has ruled that retailers may have until March 1, 1939 to dispose of their present stocks, provided they list with the Department their present unsold stocks both of No. 3, and unmarked lumber, and report their sales each month, until present stocks are disposed of . . .
"Our industry owes a distinct vote of thanks to Clyde Makutchan for his interest in developing a good lumber section for the Los Angeles Code. I think you should know also that T. C. Combs, manag'er of the local officE of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and J. E. Mackie, western manager of tt1e National Lumber Manufacturers Association at San Francisco, have contributed unsparingly of time and their engineering training, collaborating with Mr. Makutchan and his staff on the technical details "
(Continued from Page 4) few days to the effect that business generally has won back in two months all that it lost since the new depression started last year, are entirely untrue. Lumber comes nearer to having done a comeback than any other basic commodity or business measuring stick. It is not fair to quote automobile figures because most of the plants are down getting ready for new models, and their production figures are away off, naturally. But steel production is one-half what it was at this time last year; freight loadings are about 75% of. what they were then; basic industrial stocks are still far below last year's values; cotton, rubber, cement, plate glass consumption are considerably ofi still. Life insurance sales are far below last year, sb are bank checks drawn. Retail stores show less decline in volume from last year than any of the wholesale and industrial figures.

Slumping into a chair, Ilomer Smith stared straight ahead with dead eyes.

Even without the pretty girls who adorn it, this Redwood "Picket Pack" display by The Burnett Lumber Company of Tulare has "what it takes" to attract interest and attention.
That the Burnett Lumber Company is wide awake to its opportunities of modern merchandising is evidenced by the way it has taken hold of "Picket Pack" and gone to town with it.
The office occupies a corner location so the "Picket Pack" display gets the benefit of traffic passing in two directions.
Richard Franklin Wells, 89 years of age, father of R. (Frank) 'Wells, owner and manager of the Inglewood Lumber Comp4ny, died August 17 in San Francisco.
Mr. Wells was born the year California was admitted to the Union, and crossed the Plains at the age of four with his family from Missouri, settling at Buena Vista, in the Willamette River Valley, Oregon. He lived a varied and interesting life, growing up with the West. He taught school, ranched, practiced law, and was engaged in real estate, mining, oil and insurance.
His wife, Emma Collins Wells, died in 1888, leaving him with five young children, three of whom are now living. Mr. Wells later made a fortune during the building boom in Tacoma, Wash., and in 1900 he moved to San Francisco with his second wife, Harriett Claggett Wells, where he resided until his passing. Interment was in the family plot in Buena Vista, Oregon.
She came over to Homer and lifted his chin in her hand. Homer Smith moistened his lips with his tongue.
"The worst" he said dismally, "has happened."
"NO l" cried Mrs. Smith, aghast.
"Yes" said Homer. "This afternoon just before quitting time the boss called me in AND GAVE ME THE BUSINESS.'
Minneapolis, Minnesota, August l8-Announcement of the election of E.'H. Batchelder, Jr., senior vice president of The Insulite Company, Minneapolis, Minn., as a member of the Board of Directors and of the Advisory and Finance Committee of the Merchandising Institute of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association was made a few days ago. Mr. Batchelder was also elected vice president of the organization.
The objective of the newly-formed institute is to originate and prepare methods for unifying and coordinating the sales efforts of all factors engaged in merchandising building materials to the public.
The appointment comes in recognition of Mr. Batchelder's active leadership in the building industry and his aggressive efforts to stimulate a nation-wicle coordination of the merchandising activities of all of the trade factors engaged in the building business.
The National Retail Lumber Dealers Association regards the program of the Institute as one of great importance in increasing the public's knowledge of building material values and services.
A wise man remarked about homes: "Housing is the most postponable of all human wants. It must be SOLD as other merchandise is sold. The consumer won't just come and buy it."
He spoke the truth. Yet today, the selling of homes is more than a business obligation and necessity-it is a mighty moral stabilizer in time of need.
The great need of the world-the crying necessity of the civilization of the moment-is a rallying point-a Stabilizing Influence.
And that stabilizing influence must be MENTAL-it cannot be material or physical-because it is BRUTE FORCE run riot that the world seeks to combat today.
It must be a FORCEan influence if you please-that will affect and appeal to the entire world, for the whole world is involved in present conditions, and living under a cloud of fright and suspense.
It must be ELEVATING. It must not appeal to the baser characteristics of man. but to his nobler ideals.
It must be CONSTRUCTIVE. The world shudders at the threats of destruction.
And every one of these basic elements is contained in the building of HOMES.
The business of the lumber jndustry is to HELP PEOPLE BUILD. And in and through that business looms the possibility of furnishing a groping world with a rallying point.
In spite of the fears and despair, the threats and doubts, people must have SHELTER. You men of the shelter-building industry, your business is the greatest possible steadying-point of civilization. for it is founded on the HOME.
A HOME-OWNER is usually a safe and dependable citizen. He does not recklessly endanger his hearth; he does not deliberately endorse or participate in radical movements; HE IS A STABILIZING INFLUENCE.

Tacoma, Wash., August S,-The Dri-Bilt plan of house construction as developed by Jacques Willis of the C-W Plywood Company of Chicago, Illinois, has been purphased by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, and will'-be featured as an important part of the plywood industry's enlarged trade promotion program, according to an announcement by W. E. Difford, managing director of the Association. The announcement was made following Mr. Willis' recent trip to the Pacific Northwest during which he visited the Plywood manufacturing units.
The Dri-Bilt plan, as developed bv Mr. Willis, involved the construction of moderate-priced houses according to specified plans involving the extensive use of Douglas Fir Plywood for interior wall paneling and ceilings, for sheathing, for subfloors, and for built-ins. Dealers were provided with plan books for use in contacting their customers and from which detailed plans and guaranteed material lists could be ordered. Mr. Willis featured the fact that DriBilt eliminated 1000 gallons of water in the ordinary sixroom house constructed in the conventional way.
Dri-Bilt met with considerable success, according to W. E. Difford, and since it was logically a field of activity in which the Douglas Fir Plywood Association was vitally interested, it was natural that it would be consolidated with the entire trade promotion program.
Since the market for Dri-Bilt houses rapidly expanded, it became almost impossible for Mr. Willis to continue to direct this promotion and at the same time to devote his energy also to the C-W Plywood Company. For this reason he consented to sell the plan to the Plywood Association.
The Association plans to extend the Dri-Bilt plan widely through the new field representatives recently appointed. Preliminary plans call for a Dri-Bilt Manual for distribution to interested dealers and builders and other helpful dealer material. Trade paper ddvertising will also be scheduled as the program gets under way.
Dealers, dstributors, and other factors in the trade will be given preliminary notification of the whole program so that they may tie-in their sales activity effectively.

Lancaster, Pa., August 2O-With the purchase early in August of the Standard Wall Covering Company, Inc. of Philadelphia by the Armstrong Cork Company of Lancaster, Pa., Armstrong's line of lumber dealer products has acquired a new wall covering sold heretofore under the principal trade names of Monotile and Monowall.
It is available in four types, the most popular being tile effeets achieved with score lines in contrasting colors. Other types are 10 solid colors; 6 accurate reproductions of Italian, French, and Greek marbles and reproductions of four fine woods. The material comes in sheets as large as 4 by L2 feet; is lf" thick, and can be bent to a 3-foot radius without cracking the glossy surface.
Although the entire production organization of Standard will be retained at the plant in Philadephia, the full strength of Armstrong's sales and merchandising facilities will be utilized in the national distribution of the product. The Temlok Department of Armstrong's Building Materials Division will be responsible for the sale of the product which will be merchandised through recognized wholesale channels. The erection service formerly conducted by Standard will be discontinued. In 1937, the company sold more than a million square feet of the material.

Chicago, Aug. ll-In a recent letter to stockholdeis, B. G. Dahlberg, president of The Celotex Corporation, announced a complete li,ne of Celotex Triple Sealed Asphalt Shingles, Siding and Roll Roofing to be manufactured by The Celotex Corporation in seven plants strategically located throughout the United States.
Mr. Dahlberg states: "We entered the roofing business only after assurance from our expert engineering staff that the products would be equal in every way to the standards of perfection and quality for which the Celotex name is known.
"I have placed under the direction of Dr. Elbert C. Lathrop, vice-president, the chemical and engineering manufacturing development and control of Celotex roofing. Dr. Lathrop is a member of many scientific societies and has been honored with the Ed Longthreth Medal of the Franklin Institute and the Doctor of Science by his Alma Mater, De Pauw University. His early research work was in the U. S. Department of Agriculture. He was for sometime a manager in the Chemical Department of E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Company. During the very early days of The Celotex Corporation, Dr. Lathrop guided the chemical and research activities of the company, first as a consulting chemist and later as director of research.
"'We are calling our new products 'Celotex Triple Sealed Shingles, Siding and Roofing'. The words 'Triple Sealed' are introduced to help in the merchandising of the product, drawing the attention of the trade and the consumer to the three important processes which Celotex uses in the combining of the asphalt and the felt. These processes add years of life to the roofing.
"These new products will increase our ability to serve our dealer trade with high quality, standard Celotex items merchandised under the Celotex policy which strives to permit the retailer a satisfactory profit."
