How Lumber Loolcs

Reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association show that new orders during the week ended August 19 were 34 per cent greater than last year's seasonal weekly average. Production during the week rvas 24 per cent and shipments 17 per cent greater than last year.

During the week 495 reporting mills produced 243,812,00O feet of softwoods and hardwoods combined, shipped 243,362,mO feet and booked orders ol 271,74O,W feet.

Reported new orders in the week ended 4ugust 12 were 36 per cent in excess of the seasonal weeklv average of 1938 orders. Reported production was 17 per cent above the seasonal weekly average of 1938 production, and shipments were 22 per cent in excess of 1938 seasonal weekly shipments.

Revised figures for the week ended August 12 were mills, 524; production, 24Op23,W feet; shipments, 249,99O,0OO feet; orders, 268,765,0AO feet.

Reports from 98 hardwood mills for the week ended August 12 give new business as 1O,86O,00O feet, or 33 per cent above production. Shipments as reported for the same week were 9,921,W feet, or 2l per cent above production. Production was 8,179,000 feet.

Northwest mills have larger order files than for some time. The threat of a longshoremen's strike when agreements expire September 30 has caused some extra buying in California and on the Atlantic Coast. I\{ovement of lumber into Southern California has been very heavy since the settlement of the lumber workers' strike on Jaly 27.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended Aug-

ust 19, 117 mills reporting, gave production as D,l74,W feet; shipments 3O628,00O, and new business 41,462,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 82,039,000 feet.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended August 19, 119 mills reporting, give production as 87,860,000 feet; shipments 77,N,00O feet and orders 83,583,00O feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 241 ,2O3,W feet.

Building permits in July registered a 7.21 per cent gain over July last year, according to the \Mestern Monthly Building Survey prepared by H. R. Baker & Co. of San Francisco. The report covered 89 cities in the eleven western states, British Columbia and Hawaiian Islands.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR INSECT SCREEN CLOTH

Under Section 69 of the State Housing Act of the State of California it is unlawful to use metal mosquito screen of not less than l6Mesh for exterior doors, windows or other openings in exterior walls of buildings.

While State, County or City ordinances can be more stringent under the State law the minimum must be at least sixteen (16) Mesh.

This is a protection to h.ome owners and occttpants of any building, apartment house, hotel or dwelling.

It is the recommendation that nothing coarser than sixteen ( 16) Mesh be used for fear they may be condemned upon inspection.

Remember that GOOD THOUGHTS and IDEAS are the most contagious things in the world. you do the building IMAGINING and furnish the building IDEAS for your community, and you will be arnazed, to see how they fly around, and take root here and there.

Don't think you can't do these live things; think you CAN, and the job will be two-thirds accomplished.

You HAVE the ability.

You HAVE the time.

You NEED the business. It WILL pay. t**

The black night of barbarism may now and again seem to engulf the world, but eventually Truth will cause the day to dawn.

Color plays a very important part in our lives. We even think of people in terms of color. When a man has no punch we say he's colorless; when hets mad, we say he sees red; when he's a coward, we call him yellow; wherr he's straight, we call him white; when he's loyal we say he's truo blue; when he's unintelligent we say he's green; when he's bad we call him a black sheep. The mind acts clearly in colors.

The psychologists say that the average man uses only ten per cent of his brain power. ***

People in business institutions who come in contact witb the public are becoming more and more mannerly and courteous. It is one of the finest signs of the times that all modern business management recognizes the incomparable value of courtesy, kindliness and interest. In hotels. depots, shops, stores, theatres, gasoline stations-everywher+you are more courteously treated than you ever dreamed of being in years.gone by. Show your appreciation of it. Thus the tide will rise.

The happy man is the useful man. Happiness is just the by-product of a useful life. ***

Here's a hot one ! I got it from a lumber buyer who knows good human stuff when he strikes it. He called on

a small mill operator in the South, whose entire mill and business plant showed unusual evidence of ACTION and ENERGY. The owner saw a negro fumbling outside the office window, and asked what he was doing. ..putting up screens," said the boo,kkeeper. .,Tell him to get out of there," said the mill man. "We don't need no screensfies won't light on you if you keep moving." That's one for the book.

Business exists to give service. And if it doesn't come up to the mark in that particular, it is a failure, whether or not it makes money for its owners. 'We've all seen plenty of cases of business that made money by keeping out co,trtpetition, yet denied its trade territory the kind of service those people had a right to e<pect. Success isn't always measured in dollars, by any means. In fact, that's a mighty poor yard stick, generally speaking.

Every time someone comes along with a new idea that startles the world, men rise up everywhere who thought of it long before. The difference is that they only thought it. The big question is not who first discovered, a worth while thing, but who introduced it to the world and put it to work.

Things that are done by men who enjoy doing them, are verv likely to be done well. That applies to both the big and the little things of life. I went into a lumber office the other day, and as I waited to see the boss f sat where I could see and hear a young mnn answering the phone calls that came to the order desk. Ordinarily there wouldn't have been anything interesting about that. But in this case. there WAS. Because this young man w:rs a "whiz" on the telephone. You could tell by his manner. his voice, by the play of his face as he talked that he ENJOYED talking over the phone. The prosaic business of taking retail lumber orders, answering varied questions as to price, delivery, etc., etc., that come to the sales desk of a big retail yard, was NOT prosaic to .him. He LOVED it. There was INTEREST in every word he spoke. There was courtesy, well mingled with enthusiasm. There was a great desire to PLEASE in his voice, man-

I've always felt genuinely sorry for lots of good men I know, some of whom have made splendid successes of the affairs made and handed to them, but who have never been thrown on their own resources, ne\rer known the incomparable training of having to fight for their daily bread with their own head and hands, and who will probably never have a chance to discover whether or not they

One of the most interesting events of the year in the Redwood Empire is the annual Scotia garden contest. As is rvell known, Scotia, Humboldt County, Calif'., is located on the Redwood Highway, 255 miles north of San Francisco, and is entirely owned by The Pacific Lumber Company, which takes pride in the impression made by its torvn on travelers over this famous highway.

The company's efforts to beautify the town by maintaining gardens around their offices and other public buildings is one step in the evolution of garden interest. The big factor, however, is the well kept gardens around the homes themselves.

To stimulate interest in these gardens of the employees the company origiriated the garden contest in 1921 with four capital prizes and four honorable mention awards.

Suln'a 4r4t4rial qan/Pn eoafult

Changes have been made occasionally until now there are four capital prizes, ten $10.0O prizes and ten $5.0o prizes. Awards are made by a committee of garden authorities from other points. This committee changes each year. Capital prize rvinners in one year may compete the following year for one of the lesser prizes only.

This year the awards were made as follows:

First prize. ..Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Greene

Second prize.. ..Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Thompson

Third prize. Mr. and Mrs. James Nelson

Fourth prize. Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Barker

It is interesting to note that the Thompson garden, this year in second place, has been winning prizes for 15 consecutive years.

First Prize-Won by Mr. cnd Mrs. T. P. Greene

Third Prire-Won by Mr. and Mn. lcnee Nelron

Second Pri:e-Won by Mr. and Mrr. lL E. Thonpron

The capital prizes were originally maintained by individuals among the principals of the company in memory of former officers of the organization, but after a short time the company took over the job and now gives the prizes in memory of the same individuals, Messrs, C. W. Pennoyer, Temple E. Dorr and Simon J. Murphy, and in honor of Mr. John H. Emmert, chairman of the board of The Pacific Lumber Company.

The city fathers of many towns could well take h tip from Scotia's experiences and crystallize the love of gardens among their citizens to the credit of their communities.

Nestling in the Eel River valley between barriers of wooded hills, its setting lends itself to making Scotia a beauty spot by nature. The development of gardens atound the homes merely enhances nature's work.

Probably the beauty of the gardens in Scotia accounts for its reputation as the most attractive industrial town in the country, and no doubt it would compete successfully with any town of equivalent size whether industrial or not.

C. C. Stibich Returns to San Francisco

C. C. "Sti" Stibich has returned to San Francisco from Auburn and is now associated with Dant & Russell, Inc., working out of the San Francisco office with Seth L. Butler.

He will specialize in the sale of Ponderosa and Sugar Pine for this firm, but will also sell Douglas Fir and Port Orford Cedar.

Sti has had long experience in the California Pine business and has a wide acquaintance with the trade in the San Francisco Bay area and Northern California. He is glad to be back in San Francisco and is renewing his friendship with many in the lumber business whom he hasn't seen for a while.

A four-way tie between "Pick" Maule, Glenn Fogleman, D. D. McCallum and Ken Haley for the Earl Galbraith trophy was a feature of the golf tournarnent of the Wholesale Sash and Door Association of Southern California, held at the Potrero Golf Club, Inglervood, August 2?

THE GYPSIES' ROAD

By Dora Sigerson

I shall go on the gypsies'roa4 The road that has no ending; For the sedge is brown on the lone lakeside, And the wild geese eastward trending.

I shall go as the unfettered wave, From shore to shore, forgetting The grief that lies neath a roof-tree's shade And the years that bring regretting.

No law shall dare my wandering stay No man my acres measure; The world was made for the gypsies' feet, The winding road for pleasure.

And I shall drift as the pale leaf strayed, Whither the wild wind listed; I shall sleep in the dark of the hedge, Neath rose and thorn entwisted.

This was a call in the heart of the night, A whispering drearnis dear treasure, "The world was made for nomad's feet, The winding road for pleasure."

f stole at dawn from my roof-tree's shade, And the cares that it did cover, I few to the heart of tlre fierce North Wind, As a maid will greet her lover.

But a thousand hands did draw me back, And bid me, to their tending; I may not go on the G5rpsies' road, The road that has no ending.

IT ONLY WORKED ONCE

A certain actor who had tried in vain to secure an audience with the head of one of the major studios in Hollywood. So he thought of an idea. He went back to the studio and told the secretary of the big man that he wanted to see him. She said she was sorry but the big man was busy. But he said, "I owe him some money, and I just came in to pay him-" Right now she ushered him in.

He related his experience to another actor who likewise had tried and failed to get to see the big producer, so he decided to try the same trick. He told the secretary that he owed the producer a lot of money, and had just dropped in to repay the loan. She hurried into the private office, and soon returned. She said, "The producer says to tell you he appreciates your honesty and your good intentions, but that he has all the money he wants, so yo,u can keep what you owe him."

BANQUET SPEECHES IN SAMOA

A native ruler in Samoa gave a big banquet in honor of Dr. Victor C. Heiser, when he visited there. The famous Doctor and the King squatted at the banquet table and ate. When it carne time for the speech-making, to the great amazement of the gue,st of honor ,a professional speaker rose and, in the name of the King, welcomed Dr. Heiser to the place. When he finished, the guest started to rise to reply to the address of welcome, but the King restrained him, while a second professional rose. "Don't get up. This fell.ow will speak for you. In Polynesia we don't believe public speaking should be done by amateurs."

CURIOSITY VALUE

Some years ago a man hired the olrra house in a small Pennsylvania town for one night, but engaged no ushers or staff members. About a month before the date he had reserved, he put a large sign on the billboard in front of the opera house, that read: "He is coming !"

A week before the date, this was replaced by: "He will be at the opera house October 31st, at 8 P.M."

The day before the fateful date the announcement had been changed to read: "He is here t"

The next morning it read: "He will be at the opera house tonight at eight o'clock."

That night the man himself sat in the box office, and sold every seat in the house for a doltar a head. When the lights on the stage were turned on, the curtain went up, and there was a sign that read: "He is gone !"

And they never saw him again. ***

William T. (Bill) Meyer, salesman f'or White Brothers, pioneer hardwood dealers of San Francisco, entered the employ of this firm in 1916 at the age of. 17.

He worked his way through every department in the yard and offise, including handling lumber, purchasing, sales, etc.

Bill has only worked for two concerns during his entire successful careerWhite Brothers and Uncle Sam. A good friend of his tells the story of his military career in these words :

"At the time of the Great War Bill immediately enlisted when he became 18 years old and Williqur T. Meyer served with great distinction in the United States Army for two days at the Presidio of San Francisco. His friends claim that this news was, of course, flashed to Berlin, and that the Kaiser, when he heard of it, made his historymaking remark, 'Ach, Meyer has joined up, we better quit,' and the record shows they did on November 11, 1918. His work over, Bill was discharged with all the military honors the next day."

Mr. Meyer has a charming wife and two beautiful daughters, and makes his home in Berkeley, Calif.

Affectionately known as White Brothers' roving ambassador, Bill's territory and itinerary are entirely of his own choosing. He has many friends throughout Northern California, and because of his unique experience in all branches of the hardwood industry has a broad background that enables him to tackle and help solve many of the lumber problems of his customers.

Discussion of'the problem of distribution was a feature of the semi-annual meetings of the Western Pine Association, held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, August I to 4.

The research and promotion committees met on August 1 and again the following day. The executive and economic committee, grading committee, statistical committee and traffic committee met August 2.

Swift Berry, general manager of Michigan-California Lumber Co., Camino, Calif., the Association's president, in his address at the semi-annual meeting of members on August 3 referred to distribution as the most important problem of the industry, and urged members to use the facts developed by the 1937 Distribution Study to help them to attain more orderly and profitable distribution.

President Berry stressed the necessity of trade promotion and referred to the good results brought about by the Association's promotion program. He mentioned the splendid attendance at their exhibits at both the New York and San Francisco expositions.

Secretary-manager S. V. Fullarvay, Jr., presented a su.mmary of his ideas on distribution, concluding his remarks by saying that in his opinion the industry can solve the

distribution problem if a substantial majority will take a firm stand as to who shall receive wholesale compensation, commissions, or quantity ,concessions, and with this as a start make a sincere effort to simplify their channels of distribution. He warned that if a solution is not found reasonably soon legal and regulatory measures may be expected, which would be an undesirable development.

Assistant secretary-manager W. E. Griffee reported on the statistical situation of the industry.

James G. McNary, of McNary, Ariz., president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, spoke briefly on the state of the lumber manufacturing business as a whole, giving his opinion that if individual manufacturers become profit-minded lumber prices can be improved. Very few manufecturers have recently been able to show operating profits, he said.

Chairmen of committees presented their reports and gave their recommendations. President Berry reported as chairman of the Executive and Economic committees, and the other chairmen were: Statistical committee, Don Lawrence; Grading committee, W. E. Lamm; Moulding and Millwork committee, R. F. Pray; Traffic committee. A. J. Voye, Re-

Remember the old tdage, "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" ? It surely does apply to the industry of manufacturing lumber. Only good timber can yield good lumber. That's where quality starts.

The Hammond operations embrace vast stands of fine quality Redwood timber, sufficient to supply normal requirements for a hundred years to come. These great commercial Redwoods grade extremely high in durable quality lumber.

Everywhere retail lumbermen have come to know the true meaning of Hammond Quality

Redwood. So do their customers; and that makes for healthy business conditions.

Here's another important advantage to lumber merchants: Hammond Quality Redwood is grade marked and certified as to dryness. No guesswork; a grade and "Certified Dry" insignia is stamped on under the direction of the California Redwood Association. of which this company is a member.

Our nearest sales office or representative will gladly give you the details regarding Hammond service to retail lumbermen and Hammond Quality Redwood.
