THE CALIFOR}-IIA LUMBERMERCHANT

The Lumber Business Looks Better Nationally

Our repeated predictionr of an active and much improved lumber eituation for this falln are working out in good shape.

The whole softwood lumber indurtry irimproving. And conditions in California murt neceuarily follow eny great changes in the general situation.

For inrtance, Southern Pine is reporting a constantly improving demand and price. Fii for national conrumption har been fo[owing the Souttrern Pine lad, and getting rnore for itr lumber.

Thc nationd bu:ineu aituation ir irnproving rapidly. Take a look at the buriners rnap publirhed elsewhere in thie isoue, which The Nation'r Burinesi has isrued for September. The improrrement over national bruiners conditionr in thirty {eyr, ir mort remarloble The corurtry, taken ar a whole, ir in re_markablytetter thape than it war just thirty days ago.

And trhe lumber rituation ir ref,eCing and rhould continue to refect thit decidcd improvement-.

California buyen are dircovering that the millr of the North have takcn on a much more bullish tone than they have rued for many rnontfu. One Sorlhern California wlolgnlcr g9ta price lirt from a big Nor$crn mill, and wircd -in a big orde'r at a rlight reduction fro,m the iricee quoted. The mill wired him back to rtop warting hir money on telegrame, trhat their lumber was worth wha[ they werl askFs, a9d tbey were going to rell at that price or noi at all. +"q_t!i" strenglhened reeolution is becoming quite gen- erd. Pricer have not been f,ying skywerd in Cilif6rnia, but

they have been etabilizing splendidly, and the man who askr the higher levels of the California price situation today, ir getting it. Many California buyers are sitting tight and buying very sparingly on today's market, waiting to tee which way the cat ie going to jump.

There are nrany indications, taking all thingr into conaideration, that the softwood lumber situation ir going to be stronger a month from now than it is today, and ttat between now and winter there will be a world of building throughout the nation.

Association figures for both the Northwert and South chow that more lumber is being rold than is being rnade, and this, coupled with the splendid general financial conditionr and high tide prosperity, can point in but one direction.

BUILDING

The building situation in the state is good. In Augurt San Francirco broke two records by starting more new buitdings than for Se previous month and more than for Augurt, 1925. Permit figures for that city reached $4,163,510.

Thp Los Angeles total, for August, was $818261108 and San Diego reached the total of $114401509, a little more than for the sanne month last year.

Shipments, into Southern Californie, started out heavy for the month. Up to the night of the llth, a little over fifty million feet had been reported, with the prorpec,tr of at least 15 rnillion more to the night of the 15th.

More Facts About Taking the Lumber Pressure off of California

By lack, Dionne

Speaking of taking the pressure of lumber off of California by the opening of Fir markets elsewhere, there will be found in this issue text of an address recently delivered by Chas. S. Keith to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association at Tacoma in August. That address will bear careful reading by every California lumberman. In it will be found a number of ideas bearing out our recently stated opinion that the lumber pressure on California will be lessened from now on.

Mr. Keith was one of the founders and first President of the Southern Pine Associatioq. He is a powerful lumber thinker and observer, and speaks a direct language. This address has caused great discussion all over the country since its delivery.

In one part of his address-which discussed the preparation of Fir for market, and the marketing of Fir after preparation-Mr. Keith very directly mentions California and the effect of the California market, when he refers to the tremendous volume of Fir that is loaded on boats and shipped to California-not sold but for sale, and, of course, for that reason to a great extent at the mercy of circumstances-when he asked how men can expect a fair price for their lumber who ship it in great volume, unsold. He urged the mills of the North to prepare and sell their stock carefully and intelligently.

Another strong point he made was in his discussion of dry versus green lumber. As the largest consumer of green lumber on earth, California will be interested in those remarks. He quoted the figures of the Northwestern statistical bureau, which gathers such facts, to prove that No. 1 Fir, kiln dried, is bringing an average of $10 a thousand more than the same stock green or partly seasoned. In fact, .so great is the demand for this stock that the firms that kiln dry their No. I have to put a definite percentage limit on the amount of this stock they will sell in each car.

These are TWO things that are helping take the lumber pressure off of California. There is every evidence in the Northwest of a determination to quit "dumping" their stock, but rather to SELL it. And it is certain that if dry lumber will bring so'great a premium elsewhere, it will be sold elsewhere as much as possible.

California is the lowest priced Fir market. With other markets opening that are willing to pay more money, those markets will get the preference, and this helps take off the pressure.

And there is plainly evidenced i4 the Northwest a disposition to dry more and more of their lumber. THIS also takes the pressure off. Catifornil is buying more dry lumber today than ever before. And she will increase that consumption, undoubtedly. But the bulk of the dry stock will go elsewhere and seeh higher prices.

And thus they will encourage higher price levels in California.

Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Company Will Manufacture 1,600,000 Feet Daily

The Chas. R. McCormick I.urnber Company, for many years a dominating force in the distribution and transportation of Douglas Fir, will, in another thirty days, become one of the outstanding factors likewise in the production of that commodity.

Within that length of time the new sawmill at Port Ludlow, Washington, will be completed and in operation. The entirely new milling plant at Port Gamble is already completed and in operation. With these two plants running night and day, as they are built and equipped to run, and the two sawmills which the company has been operating for years at St. Helens, Oregon, also running night and day, this concern immediately becomes a producing factor of huge dimensions in the Pacific Northwest.

The purchase of the milling and timber holdings of the Puget Mill Company in Washington have been several timis reviewed in these columns. They bought a billion feet of timber on the Cowlitz River not far from the junction of that'river with the Columbia. 'Ihis billion feet will give long life to the St. Helens mills, where it will be manufactured.

They bought two billion feet and two old sawmill plants up on the Peninsula, in Washington, north of Seattle and on the opposite side of Puget Sound. These two mills are located at Port Gamble and Port I-udlow, both located in beautifpl sites on Puget Sound, and some distance apart. The Port Gamble plant was old and antiquated. They tore it dowti entirely and built there a magnificent new sawmill plant. The Port Ludlow plant was equipped with two oldfashion'ed sawmills, but the remainder of the plant had recently tieen replaced with a most modern equipment of planer, sheds, kilns, re-manufacturing plant, etc. Here they tore away the two old sawmills that stood side by side, and built one big mill in their place. This will be operating in another month, and then thefirm will have all their mill units going.

At Port Ludlow, where they only rebuilt the sawmill, they installed two band headrigs, one resaw and a complete auxiliary equipment planned to cut 300,000 feet in a single shift.

At Port Gamble they installed in the sawmill two headrigs, one Pony and two resaws, and here also they plan to cut 300,000 feet in a single shift operation, or a total two shift capacity at both these plants of 1,200,000 feet a day.

At St. Helens they operate two modest sized sawmills, standing on opposite sides of the log pond from one another, and these two mills easily cut 350,000 feet in a. single shift, or 7O0,O0O feet double shift, giving the concern a mlximum daily capacity of 1,900,000 feet.

Mr. McCormick believes that they can consistently figure on nranufacturing 1,600,000 feet of lumber in their three plants, every double shift day the year around, thus putting them in the very front rank of Northwestern lumber producers.

A new installation of which Mr. McCormick is very proud is a giant Colby crane at each of their three planisf Port Ludlow, Port Gamble and St. Helens.

They have made a tremendorrs investment in logging

camps and equipment in connection rvith their new mills and holdings. They have installed a camp in the Cowlitz River timber, and another camp of modest size on the Peninsula, and in addition they have built a tremendous main camp on the Peninsula which they call Camp Talbot, and which cost a million round dollars to equip. The camp is located in wonderfully scenic country, right on the State Highway, and also on the clear waters of Puget Sound. Here they have built 75 comfortable homes for their employees, and here they have installed what they claim to be the latest and best of modern logging equipment, in the shape of our new type Lidgerwood Skiddeis of great size. Each of these skidders is equipped with a'steel mast one hundred feet high, which mast takes the place of the spar tree in the regular logging operation in the Northwest. This great steel shaft is lifted erect by the power of the skidder, and is cabled in all directions just like a spar tree, and the logs are then brought right in. Each of these machines is guaranteed to skid 200,000 feet of logs daily, so that the four machines at this camp will handle 800,000 feet daily.

Both the new mills, as rvell as the St. Helens mills, are right on deep water, and the great McCormick fleet of ships will come right to the docks to load this great output of lumber for distribution all over the world. There are at the present time 36 great ships flying the McCormick flag, and hauling McCormick lumber.

Mr. McCormick believes that from now on they will be in fine position to handle rail shipments ofFir to all parts of the country in competition with the best firms of the Northwest and probably in better position than any other firm to supply the water route needs of the trade, regardless of where located.

Vastly has this McCormick organization spread. It still has itsbig California yards and distributing organization, itS big buying office in the Northwest, itsAtlantic Coast 4dvantages of distribution, and its efficient sales organization that covers the entire country, and with its great mills and fleet of lumber vessels it bids fair to write its name on the lumber horizon wherever Fir is used.

CREDITS PROSPERITY TO ADVERTISING

California industry faces an unparalleled era 9f activity during the remaining months of. 1926, according to a prediction voiced by J. H. Plunkett, general manager of the Pioneer Paper Company, Los Angeles.

"It has been evident for some time that the trend is toward higher production," Plunkett declared. "For example, June and July sales and production at our establishment ran 25 per cent above the level for the same period in 1925. An increase of 35 per cent in August over the same month last year also was noted.

"The astonishing development of industry taking place in the state can be attributed, to a great extent, to advertising. Heavy, consistent advertising campaigns are just as necessary to industry as they are to the large department stores."

..BOBBIE''BYRNE INSTALLED AS PRESIDENT L. A. HOOHOO CLUB

Hoo Hoo Club No, 2, !:os Angeles; has a new President.

B. W. Byrne, Secretary of the Western Hardwood.Lumber Company, was installed in his new office at the September 9th meeting with fitting ceremonies and much jollification.

The new Directors were introduced, and the announcement made of a change in the Secretaryship. The elected member, L. A. Beckstrom, being unable to serve, -FIarry V. Hanson was named in his place. It was a popular selection.

The meeting on this date was in the form of a farewell affair by the retiring officers who gave the party. A dainty miss sang several songs, showing a strong preferelce for W. W. Wilkinson's bald head, to the chagrin of Jerome Gripper and a few others.

Th-e Club unanimously passed a resolution, protesting at the failure of the Supreme officers to carry out the orders of the last Annual. in the matter of the new Ritual. This action was similar to that taken by the Oakland and other Pacific Coast Clubs.

President Byrne annou'nced the next meeting for Thursday, September 23rd.

Married man, age 39 with ten years' experience in Middle West as yard man, bookkeeper, manager-retail lumber yard will be open for like position after October lst. Can furnish best of references.

Preparation and Merchandioing of Fir

An address by Chas. S. Keith, Ccntral CoaI & Coke Company, before the joint meeting at facoma.

"Mr. Allen has requested me to address you on this occasion. He has permitted me to choose my own subject. I have decided to discuss the question of preparation and merchandising offir lumber. The question of preparation has a direct effect on distribution, and therefore I am discussing it together with the question of distribution. I am purposely avoiding a discussion at this time of the matter of 'direct selling as opposed to present methods of selling through jobbers. I am doing this for the reason that this subject in itself is large enough to cover a chapter. But, manifestly, it is evident that if the industry is to develop a bu3iness which is going to be our business it must be done through direct representation and not indirect representation. Furthermore, it is evident that the companies' own employees have a greater interest in the price they get for the product than someone who is interested only in a commission on sales.

"The things which I will'say today are the result of an analysis I have made of the situation in the last two or three years, and some of the conclusions I have drawn will without doubt be controversial with the present thought of the fir industry. There is no intention on my part to criticise anything other than to point out what may be done to help the situation. I hope to avoid anything personal and request that you not make any personal application of anything I say.

"As a matter of fact, frequentl5r those who look upon a situation from the outside reach different conclusions, and sometim€s more correct ones than those who live with a proposition constantly, I know this is true on the operating end of our own business, and I believe it is equally true with reference to sales and distribution. So, in discussing this proposition, f propose to do so without fear or favor, and on the theory only that what we want is a free and frank interchange of thought. We need a surgeorl We do not like the operation, but if a patient Uves heroic methods must be adopted. I am giving you my thought for what it is worth, and the thought which I will express has, at least, the merit of being honest conclusions though perhaps somewhat different from the general thought of the industry.

"(1) Our situation from an earning point of view is extremely bad. Prices are much lower than present production costs justify. We are liable to reach the conclusion that prices are afrected only by supply and demand, so lower prices are prima facie evidence of too great production -+dvancing prices are evidence of a short supply. In the earlier deduction the logical thought is that production must be adjusted to demand; in the latter that production should be increased to meet the demand. In general principlcs, this is true. I do not think, however, that this is entirely true. Distri-

bution affects values as much 3s oVCrpto: duction. If the supply of wheat in the United States was 100 million bushels, and demand for wheat 200 million bushels, our' conclusion would be that prices for wheat should advance. Yet, if the entire produc: tion of the United States were crowded into the state of Texas, prices would decline re. gardless of the national demand for the product.

"The west coast figures for the first thirty weeks of this year, covering 96 indentical mills, show that sales have exceeded pro. ductron 5.41 percent; shipments have exceeded production 4.01 percent. In other words, stocks of lumber have decreased to the extent of 4 percent of production for this period of 96 mills, or approximately 110,@0,000 feet. Furthermore, orders to ttre extent of 1.39 per cent of the production for this period have accumulated. So, the conctusi6n I draw from this picture is this: We have not produced too much lumber, as we have sold 105 per cent of production. We have had no overproduction.

"From an analvsis which I have made on 65 kgy items reported through the Davis Statiatical Bureau at Portland, it is shown that the price of lumber increased during this period 6 cents per thousand feet. Consequently, ifit is not a case of overproduc-

Attention Mr. Kingrley

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

July 24, 1926

'We are very pleased to write this letter telling you that the car of FINISH we are now unloading IS THE FINEST CAR WE HAVE EVER RECEIVED IN THIS YARD. This car was shipped by your Company on the l3th. Our truck drivers all claim THEY HAVE NEVER UNLOADED A CAR THAT WAS AS WELL TIED AND LOADED AS THIS CAR and the writer only hopes that he can buy many more such cars.

(Signed) c. W. DOW.

WHAT WOULD THIS SORT OF STOCK MEAN TO YOU?

WEST OREGON SUPER FINISH OUR PA.RTICULAR PRIDE

Everything that human experience and ingenuity can devise, together with the finest of raw material in the shape of carefully and particularly selected old growth yellow Fir logs, goes to make our incomparable Super Finish. The choosing of the logs, the sawing, the re-sawing, the handling, the grading, the drying, the dressing, the tying, the loading, and the shipping, are all done along scientific lines to the end that the product may be as perfect as such a prcduct may be. Our Super Finish is the giandard that others are gauged by wherever such products are known.

And the 30,000 feet of lumber our mill cuts every hour is all on a parity for quality, grade, and general worth, to our Super Finish. West Oregon Fir means complete Fir satisfaction.

(Continued from -Page 18) tion, thcn it must bc a case of faulty distribution. By 'faulty distribution' I mean overeclling ccrtain markcts and thercby developing v-lucs, resulting in lowering of values to all other markcts. Analyzing the sales madc by the companies reporting through thc Davis Exchange, the following figurcs have becn dcvclopcd: We find that on total ealcs up to JuIy 23, rcportCd through the exchange, amounting to 1,168,603,000 fbet, 55.08 perccnt went by rail; 11.24 perceat California cargo; 13.89 pcrc€nt Atlantic cargo; 11.5 pcrcent €xport, and, 8.29 pcrcent local consumption These figures would indicate that the total watcrborne business was approximately 37 percent. Yet, these waterborne markets have becn oversold, or, I should say, oversupplied, and based upon the values dcveloped in thcse markets which have been oversupplied, values for the balance of our business have been determined. In making the application to 3,109,124,0fi) feet of new busincss reported through the West Coast Barometer in the first 29 weeks of the year, I find that 50.1 percent were rail sales; 5.1 percent for local consumption, and 45 percent for waterborne markets. These figures are reasonably representative as they represent onc half of the year's production and conscqucntly 60 per cent of total production of fir lumber on the Pacific coast.

"The lack of rcasonable facilities to ltrovide storage for lumber results in transit cars and transit cargoes. Such shipments are generally in distress and create a buy- crs'markct. f am informed that one dietrict alone, in June, shipped 35 million feet of such consigned cargoes to San Pedro. WiU it cvcr be possiblc to secure reasonablc values undcr this kind of merchandising oolicy?

"fhe Southern Pine Associiti-on iisues yearly a iummary of shipments from the mills whicb subscribc to the scvcral exchangcs, similar to the Davis Portland Sta-

tistical Exchange, and which arc located in the scvcral districts of thc southern pine rcgron. The rcport lor 1922, compilcd from thcse various reports, showcd that 57.8 perccnt of the ealcs of thc rcporting companies were madc for shipment to territory north of the Ohio River, and in 1925,48.37 percent. In other words, the amount of production marketcd north of the Ohio River, in thc period mentioned, has declincd 20 per cent. The compilations show that in 1922, 41.8? pcrccnt of thc production was markcted south of thc Ohio River and in 1925, 51.35 perccnt. This means that the amount marketed in thc territory of production has in: crcased 25 percent and that marketcd north of thc Ohio River has declincd 20 percent. My own judgment is that if the complete figures for the industry werc available for 1922, they would show 60 percent of the product was moved to the territorv north of ihe Ohio and 40 perccnt south of it. Today' the figures are reversed. In other words, in this period that amount of lumbcr markcted north of the Ohio has decrcased 33 1-3 pcrcent and the amount marketed in the territory of production has increased 50 percent. Of course, the latter figures are estimates, based on observation of the figurcs taken from the several exchanges. F'urtrhcrmorc, I am of the opinion that there will bc at least 8 percent less lumber made in the south in 1926 than in 1925, and this 8 percent less lumber will have to come out of the sales that would have Sone into the territory north of the Ohio River and not the territory south of it. If this is a fact, the distribution figures will show that approximately 68 pcrcent of thc production was distributed iouth of the Ohio River and 32 percent north of it. in which casc the decline in volume going to the tcrritory north of the rivcr will be 46 oercent and the increase into the territory bf production will be 65 pcrcent. It is a fact that the southern pinc barometer

rcports shor that 15 pcrccat'lcse lunber i8 bCing made at thc assbciation mille for this year to May than was madc in the samc pcriod of 1925, and bascd on the car loading hgures of thc American Railway Association, and the incrcased shipments from the southcrn pine mills, my figures would indicatc that there has becn a declinc so far this year of 27 perccnt in sawmill production. This mcans a dccrcase in total southcrn pine production of 20 percent this year to May as comparcd with the samc pcriod last year.

"During this year we have had fZ percent increase in buitdins contracts in the United States over Last year, which increase included a 45 percent incrcase in the southern territory, and this, notwithstandrng the collapse of the boom in Florida.

"Therefore, the opportunity for wider distribution of fir lumber is easily visible. The valleys of the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio Rivers, together with Texas, Oklahoma and the southCast. offer fertile-field for wider distribution, The possibilities for the distribution offir lumber are unlimitcd. Thie coast enjoys a situation on marketing of its oroduct that no other producing section of ihe United States evef did enioy. It hag great possibilities in the markets of _Ast4, Australia, the cast and west coasts of South America, the Atlantic seaboard of the United States, all of Europe and Africa. In fact, there is no place in the world into which the west coast product cannot bc placed. It enjoys a world markct from the watcrborne vicvrpoint. In addition to that, fir lumber has been distributcd to cvcry state in the Union, irrespective of whether it is producing or not producing a comlrctitivc wood.

(Continued from Page 20) delivered it within half a milc of five other southern pine producing pLants, at a price of E3 highcr than the average price in cftect on the qoast at that time, but still $23 per thousand feet less than our own price on southern pine of the sam€ dimensions, not only indicates bad selling, but also is a favorable sign of unlimited distribution possibilities. However the possibilities for distribution are limited to a certain extent by preparation of the product. There is no .r_ther wood that grows in the American forests that has cqual possibilities with fir.

"Fir lumber, properly prepared and manufactured for the market, is second to none, from the point of quality, and is equal to any. This is the result of my considered judgment. The fir tree, from a general utility point of view, is actually the most valuable tree that grows in the American forests. It probably can displace rnore different woods in consumption than any other wood. As compared with yellow pine, it is eq'lal to yellow pine, according to government reports, in tensile strength; it is better than yellow pine from the point of view of life, because of the immense amount of heartwood included therein, and according to government reports, it is equal to white pine in durability; having less resinous content than southbrn pine, it will take and hold paint better than such southern pine; being softer, it is easier to work, and being lighter, it is easier to handle than yellow pine. All of these reasons are very much to its advantage in competition with other woods. The difficulty largely lies in the fact that it is improperly preparcd and manuJactured for use. Because of the advantage which fir has in the fact that. it does not stain as pine stains, the industry has been able to ship it green and not carry it in storage for th6 trad-e, as we have had to do in the south. Conse-

quently, thc fir lumber industry of the northwest i8 organized vcry much on the basis of the coal industry of thc United States, e.g., it seeks to sell cach day that which is manufactured that day, irrcspective of thc consumptive ability of the country at the time to consum€ it, meaning thereby scasonal consumption. During thc time of slow transportation, ordinarily the time elapsing between the shipment and delivery of green lumber to the Mississippi River valley was more than forty days. The dealer carried larger stocks in anticipation of such transit time. As a rcsult of this condition, when the lumber went into consumption it was eithct dry or partially dry; but under present conditions, with improved transportation, the lumber goes into consumption fewer days from the saws and consequently green. In addition to that, because of this unseasoned condition, it shrinks after being used as the moisture content dries out. This means an altogether unsatisfactory product to the trade, with the result that the natural advantages of fir lumber are not realized upon because of its preparation,

"Why do we not season our product? What are the benefits to be derived from kilndried fir lumber? Who are the bencficiaries?

"Ultimately the gleatest beneficiary is the consumer. The building in which he invests his money is subject to no defects which will result from the use of unseisoned lumber. As fir lumber shrinks 3ft petcent in drying, it naturally follows that such shrinkage, if green lumber is used in construction, results in the development of defects. The effect on walls, ceilings, foors and all joints of this amount of shrinkage materially dcpreciate the value and increase the cost of maintenance of such building. Moisture is one of the principal elements in the propagation of decay, and if green lumber is used in the construction of buildings, and is not left so the air can reach it, decay may set up, the results of

which may not occur for somc timc, but in tfic end may bc quitc disastrous. A very interesting point to mc is the fact that kilndrying of lumber destroys the propagation of decay-producing germs. In other words, the kilndrying of lumber com-letely sterilizcs the product, so that when it comes from thc kilns no dccay-producing material is present. It is sterilized lumber. The Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, says, 'Since wood rapidly increases in strength with the loss of moisture, hieher strength values may bc obtained from kilndried than from airdried wood,'and consequently also than from green wood, and therefore better for the consumer. In the case of the use of dry lumber, wc have a satisfied consumer. but if he uses green lumber, as a rule, we have a dissatisfied one. Every satisfied consumer that the industry develops, by the reason of properly prepa.red product, is a potential salesman, and every dissatisfied one is a potential knocker.

"The dealer is a beneficiarv because t.he product is bright and dry and is more readily merchandisedl because the stock can be bulk-piled without degradation or deterioration Handling costs are reduced through the raving in cost incident to sticking when piling the lumber. It broadens his markets, reduces his sales resistance, creates saving through the carrying of smaller stocks, as dry lumber is available for the job when it arrives in his yard, and there is a further saving irr insurance, space rental, and handling charges. It is less costly because it does not shrink or degrade, and the dealer is able to market as per gradeS purchased. It satisfies the customer and crcates new busincss for him. The dealer can afford to pay at least as much more for the product as he can save in the expense of handling and in the cost of degrading.

"The manufacturer is a greater beneficiary, as kilndrying costs less than airdrying. The (Continued on Page 24)

The Durability of Sugar Pine

IN CALIFORNIA where Sugar Pine has been used since before the Days of '49, no one ever I raises the question of its durability. The ancient landmarks are eloquent evidence. Hand sawed planks and split shakes show no traces of decay after three-quarters of a century of exposure to the weather without adrop of paint or preservative.

Nor have these cabins of the pioneers been favored by climate. In the high altitudes of the Sierras, where the '49ers and pioneer ranchers lived and built these rude houses, the winters are long and the snows are deep.

SUGAR PINE being a true White Pine, botanically and physically, has long life as well as the characteristic virtues of easy-working and freedom'from distortion. It is the ideal wood for exposed sash and doors, siding, moulding and trim.

LEADING LUMBER YARDS

MakeYour Sash and Doors of Srgnr ?ine:

This wood has several natural qualities that make it especially advantageous for sash and doors. For instance

-Sugar Pine is remarkably free from warping, twisting or shrinking, even in extremes of moisture or temperature. Ifindows and doors of Sugar Pine eliminate many annoyances common to these members.

Then Sugar Pine is an easy wood to cut. lt is a s oft pine-gen u i na white pine. You know the advantages of this qualiry inmilling door and window Pafts.

Sugar Pine takes and holds glue in permanent grip, and retains paint remarkably well. And it endures.

These are just a few reasons why Sugar Pine is particularly satisfactory for doors and sash. Another reason whv vou'll like it is its economy-due to grades ihat enable you to cut to better advantage and with practically no waste.

\7hy not write us for price list and stock sheit. and other inforniation as to stocks. deliveries, etc. Also let us put you on thi list for "Sugar Pine Facts." -

When you $et tn a tight place you can fall back on Hammond!

Like all careful lumber merchants you probably are occasionally up against it to fiU big rush orders. It would certainly not pay you to carry big reserve stocks to meet these occasional emergencies.

Fortunately there is an easy way out in such cases. Call on Hammond ! There are seventysix acres of lumber, sash and doors, paint, hardware, roofing, plaster, cement, hardwoods, insulation, etc., in our two main yards. Let these be your reserve stocks!

The Hammond reserves are at your service. Use them.

(Continued from Paee 24) plus the unliquidated underweights on thirty million feet more in stock, which lvould bring the figure up $9O000 more, or a total of 5455,000 return on an investment of $30E,000, and that in a period, figuring on full operating time, of less than nineteen months, it certainly demonstrates the fact that the method is profitable. Furthermore, on items of common lumber, the price secured in the market is $2 to $10 per thousand feet more than comparable items sold by other companies as shown by r€ports on orders cleared through the Davis Exchange at Portland.

"The thought I am trying to bring home to you is that it is profitable. I am trying to demonstrate to you the fact that not only has it resulted in saving in the cost of transportation, but it has decidedly raised the value of the product in the market. It is a fact, todan that on No. 2 common 6-inch fir, in the Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas ierritory, we are securing $1.50 to $2 more than for pine. We find that this situation applies to customcrs who are buying fir in Texas, not only from our company but from other manufactwers at.lower prices than oinc. are selling the fir product ior higher iricis to their trade than pine. If this fact does not demonstrate the fact that fir, propcrly pre- pa.red, is a more merchantablc -pro-duci fhan pine, I do not know anything that will.

"The continuation of ovcrctowding the congested markets of California and the Attrantic scaboard, without due regard to the, rail markets, if continued will always result' in a continuation of ptescnt unprofitablc conditions. If we are to reap the benefit of thc markets which must be very largely abandoned by southern pine because of lack of production; if we are to keep the markets we have- for lumber, we must prepare our product in a satisfaciory way foi tfre trade; givc it what it rpants and make it pay for what it g€ts. Curtailment of production, becausc prices are declining, in view of the heavy volume of busincss which we have, is never going to cure our situation. The thing we have got to do is study market require- ments, prepare our production for the markets, and develop the markcts for fir lumber. The condition of supply and demand which has existed since January I this year also existed last year and yet prices today are not as satisfactory as they were in 1924, at.which time the figures indicated a real overproduc- tion. The question I would like to isk you is this: How much morc lumber would ii be necessary for the fir lumber industry to sell than it produces to afrcct favorably the values of fir? With 5 percent in sales lhis year in excess of production, market values hivc incrcased 6 percent per thousand feet. What pcrccntage of salcs in excess of production pould be necessary to give us thd g3, g4 or g5 neccssary to put this industry on a'profit- ab-lc b.asis? Or, would any pcrcentige of satcs in exccsg of production. in facc of the ovcrcrowding of unwilling markcts. cvcr produce a satisfactory pricc for the product?

The year 1906; the war ycafs of 1914 to 1919; the year 1923, wcrc prosperous ycars for thc fir lumbcr industry. It took a San Francisco fire in 1906 to produce this condition; a world widc war during the war period, and a Japanesc earthquake in 1923 to produce profitable conditions for the fir business. Thcse conditions increased the volume to water markcts and removed the congested selling in Californira. Is it possible that it is necessary to have local, foreign and international disasters to provide a rcasonable earning situation for the fir lumber industry?

"The United States has been prosperous and never has there becn so great a period of building in the history of the country. Our agricultural sections are today more than reasonably profitable and our production has been consumed in these years in greater proportion than produced, and yet, the valucs are growing annually less. Does it not seem that there is somethins else wrong with the fir industry, and is it not possible-to correct the situation, or must we reach the conclusion that there is not the ability in this industry properly to prcpare and meichandise the pro- duct? There is not a banking institution last of the Mississippi River, and I doubt that there is any on the Pacific coast, but what is looking with fear on this situation. Unless we_ do somc_thing oursclves to hclp ourselves; unlcss we sit down and study the proposition without prejudice, looHng towar<i what can be donc, nothing is going to help thc fir industry and ttre last virgin stand of timber and the bcst stand of timber that cver cxistcd will be liquidatcd without carnings and with grcat waste."

The picture was taken by Mrs. A. J. Russell, on a recent trip with Gus through the Northwest, and shows Mr. Leigh out in the woods, with Col. George H. Kelly's Scotch Terrier, t'Porky".

John Leigh is an old timer in the lumber game and is one of the best known figures in the Pacific Northrvest' He was for many years with the C. A. Smith Lumber Company at Minneapolis, and afterlvards rvith the N{cCormick Lumber Company, McClintock, Washington, prior to becoming affiliated with the Western Lumber Company.

Gus says "he is noted for his universal and constant good humor, his knorvledge of the lumber business and from the fact that he has the oldest corn cob pipe rvest of the N[ississippi-it is a real Missouri meerschaum".

And what more would you rvant?

The pup deserves special mention. John claims and states that he is prepared to prove "Porky" to be the fastest running terrier in the country, when there is a cottontail running after him.

The Western Lumber Company is located at Westfir, on the new Natron Cut-off of the S. P., about forty miles out of Eugene.

THE PACIFIC LUMBER COMPANY

Great Redwood Manufacturing Plant of Pacific Lumber Company at Scotia, Cal.

HE biggest Redwood manufacturing plant on earth is that of the Pacific Lumber Company at Scotia, California. Scotia is located in Humboldt county, 30 miles south of Eureka, and the Humboldt Bay Harbor, and 265 miles north of San Francisco. It is on the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, and the whole town of Scotia is the Pacific Lumber Company property.

The Pacific Lumber Company is one of the oldest concerns in the Redwood business, having been first organized in February, 1869. It has today a capital stock of $12,500,000, and owns a tremendous acreage of Redwood timber.

There are two very large sawmill units in the Scotia plant, located at opposite ends of the same huge log pond, in which there is ampie log storage room for many days' run for both mills.

Mill A is equipped with three band headrigs and a Wickes Gang of very large caliber. 'fhis entire mill is electrically

equipped and each machine is driven by an individual motor. They manufacture an average of. 225,M feet of Redrvood lumber in this mill in a single shift operation. In connection with mill there is a small re-manufacturing plant.

Mill B is the larger mill of the two, the largest single unit sawmill in the Redwood area. It is equipped with four band headrigs under one roof, and a horizontal resaw. This sawmill is steam driven, the headrigs being driven by shotgun feed, and they manufacture an average of 275,000 feet of Redwood lumber daily. The combined capacity of the two mills runs over 150,000,000 feet of lumber annually.

With Mill B they operate a very large and splendidly equipped re-manufacturing plant, planing mill and factory, that covers five acres of ground. Here they turn their Redrvood lumber into a variety of commodities such as mouldings, balisters, guttels, newels, billboard stock, columns, casket stock, casket boxes, incubator stock, tank stock, kitchen cabinet stock, window and door frames, chests, ice cream cabinets, refrigerator stock, flooring blocks, etc.

P'ACIFIC LUMB'ER COMP'ANY.-

County, California, in the Heart of the Redwoods.

The dry sheds at Scotia hold about 20,000,000 feet of lumber, and they carry in the big yards from 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 feet of stock.

The lunrber is handled by a great monorail and crane system rvhich feaches every part of the sheds and yard.. and the hahdling of the stock is done as efficiently and systematically and economically as human ingenuity can arrange with every powerful facility for so doing. Great economies in production costs have been worked out by the thorough power system of handling lumber in every part of the plant.

They operate 28 patented Leaver dry kihls,at Scotia, this being a system devised and originated at:this plant, and they put over five million feet a month through these kilns.

Scotia has rail connection with every part of the United States and does a rail business of unusually large volume. They maintain salesmen all over the lumber consuming districts of the United States.

They also have the finest possible water shipping facilities. At Field's Landing on Humboldt Bay, thirty miles from Scotia, they own and operate their own lumber shipping deep water docks, with thoroughly modern shipping eguipment, big cranes, etc. Here they frequently load several ocean going lumber vessels at the same time, shipping in this way to California ports and to the Atla.ntic seaboard.

At Scotia they conduct for the use of their employees a

well equipped club house, a movie theater, an excellent hotel, a bank and many other general conveniences.

The Scotia plant operates on a single shift basis, 9 hours to the shift.

The timber holdings of the Pacific Lumber Company wiil enable them to operate this big two sawmill plant for more than a generation to come.

At Scotia lives the executive vice president of the pacific Lumber Company, Mr. A. S. ("Stan") Murphy.

The resident manager of the Scotia operation isMr. E. E. ("Eddiel') Yoder.

Mr. Herbert Class is superintendent of production for both mills.

Mr. Louis Malone is superintendent of distribution for both mills.

I\{r. R. C. ("Rich") Richardson is logging superintendent for both mills.

At San Francisco, where spacious and beautiful oftices done in Redwood are sustained, the one and only p. C. ("Pete") McNevin is in charge. He looks after all the selling at home and abroad.

THE Bigge st Sawmills World's

Bl 7.C. Dionne

What is the biggest sawmill in the world?

Who owns it?

Where is it?

What is its equipment?

How much does it cut?

What are the other mammoth mills of the country, and what about their size, equipment, ownership, production?

These are all questions that the average lumberman should be and undoubtedly is, very much interested in. Because there is something keenly attractive about these huge milling institutions that turn logs into building material at so hurried a rate. They hold more of interest, to the lumberman at least, than any other sort of industrial unit.

I have often asked the question,, "What is the biggest mill in the country?" and those of whom the question was asked either did not know or gave a variety of answers.

So it occurred to me that our readers would like very much indeed, just as I did, to know what really IS the biggest sawmill, and which are the next biggest sawmills, and where they are, and what they cut, etc., so I have been conducting a little investigation, the result of which I will give in this story, tersely, but with enough detail to properly contrast and compare the big mills of today.

And of course, when you discuss the "biggest mills," you must first come to an understanding as to just what you mean, because there are many milling plants in the country that are double mills, and some triple mills, that is, more than one sawmill at one plant.

And it is not just a matter of production PER DAY or PER MONTII, or year, because there are mills that run 8 hours, mills that run t hours, mills that ruri 10 hours;

there are mills that run one shift. others that run two shifts, and many that run three shifts a day. There are mills that saw up the logs into the actual lumber, and mills that merely "break down" the log, and let a lot of other machinery rework it into the smaller items.

It is a matter of equipment, a matter of cutting methods, a matter of species, etc., that has to do with mill production. Mr. George S. Long of Tacoma, Washingon, head of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company and one of the biggest and best lumbermen in America, in telling me about their biggest mills, remarked that the production of a mill depends less upo4 the equipment of the mill as upon the methods of manufacture employed, stressing the undoubted fact that while their biggest plant cuts an average of about 350,000 feet in a shift, there are many other mills with far less and far inferior equipment to theirs that cut as much or more lumber, this being due to the fact that the \Meyerhaeuser mills saw their stock into much smaller units on the headrigs. Mr. Long further remarked that his concern, doesn't think so much of the heavy production operations and would wish that their bigger mills were smaller than they are.

flowever, this is not to be a discussion of manufacturing methods, but rather a news story of big mill production. But it must be remembered, in reading these mill production figures, that it makes a lot of difference what they cut and how they cut it. The biggest millin Oregon, for instance, with two band headrigs, cuts more lumber in one shift than a five band headrig mill in California cuts in two shifts.

Now to the mills. There are probably not half a dozen lumbermen living who know the biggest producing single

Tlr,e Biggest Singlc Unit Sautynill on Earth. Ozsned, and oferated, by the Coos Bay Lurnber Couopany, Marshfield, Oregon.

unit sawmill on earth. Don't forget, this is SINGLE UNIT. The biggest producing sawmill PLANT on earth is undoubtedly the Long-Bell plant at Longview, Washington.

The: Biggest Mill

But the biggest single unit mill is at Marshfield, Oregon, and is owned and operated by the Coos Bay Lumber Company, headquarters San Francisco, California.

There doesn't seem to be any doubt but that this sawmill surpasses in hourly and daily production any sawmill unit ever built. This mill runs 8-hour shifts, and cuts 100'000 feet per hour frequently. An 800,000-foot 8-hour day is looked upoq as nothing extraordinary atthis great plant. They do not run nights. They are equipped to do so, and could if they desired, but they operate only on a one shift basis.

Their record recent run was 807,000 feet in 8 hours' operation, and 612,500 feet per day for an errtire month, single shift operatioq.

So far as I can learn, no other single sawmill ever cut 800,000 in 8 hours' run.

The Marshfield mill was built by the late C. A. Smith, the famous Minneapolis lumberman. He not only built the biggest sawmill on record, but he established another record by purchasing most of the Port Orford Cedar there was in the world. This remarkable wood grows nowhere else on earth but right there on Coos Bay, and this concern owns and manufactures most of it. They have a separate mill for Port Orford Cedar, however, a double band and resaw mill that cuts 200,000 feet a day.

The big mill at Marshfield cuts Douglas Fir. It is equipped with two band headrigs, one a single and the other a double cutting band. These are the gengine "break down" mills, and behind them there is the great assortment of machinery that makes the huge production possible. I asked one sawmill man, before I talked to the Coos Bay people, what the equipment at Marshfield was, and he threw up his hands in protest. "There are so many big machines you can't count them," was the way he put it.

At any rate, besides the two headrigs, there are two trernendous resaws, one a five band resaw, and the other a six band resaw, and the way lumber comes through these huge machines is the wonder of the mill. Besides these there are two more modest sized resaws, one huge bull edger, two pony edgers, with all the supplementary machinery that goes with them. No lumber has to go backward in this rnill, as in most mills with a flock of resaws. So arranged are the edger decks that the lurnber, even that which is to be re-edged, goes constantly forward, and never has to be run backward for re-working, there being always equipment ahead to do the work.

This is all electrically driven, and they have a surplus of power, so that the boards and planks and hitches and cants and timbers pour through the machines as though they were made of paper, and the huge total of 100,000 feet an hour is attained without special logs or special effort.

Longview Next

The second biggest single sawmill unitin production is the West Unit of the Long-Bell Lumber Company, at Longview, Washington. While this mill is equipped with two band headrigs, and the new East Unit at Longview is equipped with four band headrigs, yet the West Unit is the "break down" type of mill, and has a considerably gr€ater lumber capacity than the East Unit with its four bands. A great gang and a battery of resaws, edgers and trimmers help make this the second biggest sawmill on earth, from a standpoint of production. Its best records, however, are fully 100,000 feet less in 8 hours, than that of Marshfield, and the average run of the two mills for 8 hours probably shows about that much difference.

St. Paul and. Tacoma

The St. Paul a4d Tacoma Lumber Company, at Tacoma, have a huge sawmill PLANT. They have two mills standing side by side, one equipped with two band headrigs, a gang and some resaws, and the other with one headrig, a gang and resaws. Their biggest mill cannot compare in production with the two big mills previously mentioned,-but their everyday production of lumber runs fully a milliort feet. They operate their larger mill two shifts -a day, and their smaller mill three shifls daily. They have.a 6ig remanufacturing pl.ant standing back of boitr milts andfurnishing do!.rble service for the two mills, and they are steadily increasing their complement of dry kilns, a npw battery of same being installed iight now.

rhre is a mnr ".t'f,"i:1"::#lti,,,*.o,,, that is not enormous in size, but IS tremendous in production. It is that of the Gray's Harbor Lumbe,r Company, well knpwn as the "Bleagin" mill. It cuts about 350,000 feet in an ,ghour shift, and runs three shifts or 24 hours a day, turning o_-ut e,asily a million feet a day. It is eguipped wittr two "break down" headrigs, a gang and a bunch:of resaws.

The most interesting thing about this plant is that.with this enormous production it stocks. and stores no lumber, uses r-ro sheds oq yard, but operates right on the wharf at Hoquiam, stacks its lumber in steamer itorage units, which are pick-ed up by the big hoists and lifted right on the vessels. The whole million feet- a day is moved- as fast as cut, .,- almost entirely by.water, and unseasoned.

The Everett Mill

\il/eyerhaeuser operates a battery of finely equipped mills in the Northwest, the biggest of which is located at Everett, Wash., and is called "Mill 8". This mill is equipped with two headrigs, two large edgers, one great gang, and two resaws, with abig re-manufacturing plant in connection. This plant cuts an average of 350,000 feet every 8 hours. However, this is one of the biggest equipments in the Northwest, and could easily be operated, if the management so desired, so as to cut around 500,000 feet in 8 hours. Its possible capacity is easily that. However, they operate this plant more on Pine style than on the average Fii plan, doing much of their sawing on the headrigs, and they turn out less lumber than they could if they wanted to run it the other fashion.

Vernonia

_ One of the great mills of the country is the Central Coal & Coke Company"plant at Vernonia, Oregon. This is the new Charlie Keith mill, famous for the facl that they kilry dry everything they make except the big timbers, and have set the Northwest agog with their kiln-drying of dimension as well as all low grade stock. This plant has two band headrigs, a gang and several re-saws, and turns out an average of 600,000 feet daily with two 8-hour shifts.

C. D. Johnson's Plant

Like Vernonia and Longview, the plant of the pacific lpruce C-orporation at Toledo, Oregon, has been frequently described in these columns. ft is one of the biggest singl-e sawmill units in the world. It is equipped wit[ two heiarigs, three edgers, three trimmers -and three resaws, two vertieal and one horizontal. This mill cuts from 40,000 to

50,000 feet per hour, according to the orders they are shoving through, and runs in 8-houg shifts. On double shift time they produce between 700,000 and 800,000 feet a day.

Red River at Westwood

According to the records of the California White & Sugar Pine Association, the biggest sawmill in the Pine business in California-the biggest in the Pine business in the west, so far as lmown-is that of the Red River Lumber Com' pany at Westwood, California. Their sawmill is equipped with four band headrigs, a great equipment of supplementary and re-manufacturing machinery, which enables them to cut 800,000 feet of lumber running two shifts a day. A complete description of this plant will be given later. This concern is the biggest owner of white and sugar pine on earth, having somewhere between fifteen and twenty billions standing in California.

According to the figures on file at the Association office also the next two big Pine mills in California are those of the McCloud River Lumber Company at McCloud, with five band'headrigs and a rated capacity of 650,000 feet. in two. shifts, and the Sugar Pine Lumber Company at Fresno, with four band headrigs, and a rated capaCity of 600,000 feet in two shifts.

Big Redwood Mills

Redwood is cut more slowly than Pine in the west, and much more slowly than Fir.

The biggest Redwood mill is that of the Pacific Lumber Company, at Scotia, California, where there are two big sawmills, and a great re-manufacturing plant. Mill B is the largest individual Redwood sawmill also. It is equipped with four big headrigs and a horizontal resaw, and cuts an average of 275,OgO feet, single shift. Mill A has three headrigs and a gang, and cuts 225,000 average daily.

The Union Lumber Company mill at Fort Bragg, with three band headrigs and three resaws, is the next biggest Redwood mill, being only slightly smaller in capacity than the Pacific Mill B.

The Biggest Southern Pine Mill

Everyone knows that the biggest sawmill ever built in the South is that of the Great Southern Lumber Company, located on the eastern boundary of Louisiana a short distance north of New Orleans.

The South has not run strongly to mills of great size, the one at Bogalusa being the only genuine monster mill that Southern Pine has known.

The Bogalusa sawmill.is equipped with four band headrigs, a big'resaw, two big gangs, six edgers, and all the suppleynentary machinery necessary to handle the streams of lumber that come from these saws. There are two separate and distinct planing mills with this sawmill, and the tremendous equipment of kilns, sheds, handling and hoisting.machinery, make this one of the biggestlquipments ever constructed.

Fruit

EGGS Hatch

Fire is like an ugly bird, constantlyy looking for fire breeding eggs to hatch-eggs of carelessness with matches and cigarettes, rubbish and wabte, faulty construction, and a hundred and one other fertile elements of risk. Some eggs won't hatch of course but the only safe plan is to destroy all the eggs and thus make sure that no fire will be hatched in your plant.

Lumber Mutual Insurance, through its efficient fire preven- tion service, helps you find such eggs and destroy them. However. if fire does co:ne, our companies have the resources and the reputation which guarantees prompt payment of loss. They provide-at cost-the best insurance protection that the lumberman can buy.

Write any of these companies f or special f older "Eggs for Fire to Hatchi' which will giz.re yo* further information about the fire pre-. aention service and the roal insarance brotection offered by Lumber Mutual policie's.

(Continued from Page 51.)

When you consider the difference between the size of the timber cut at Bogalusa add the huge timber of the Fir territories, it must be admitted that Bogalusa is alrnost as much of a monster as Longview.

They run ten hour shifts in the South and the Bogalusa mill with two such shifts has a record run df 1,018,000 feet to her credit. The trade generally refers to this as a million a day plant, but she has reached this total but the one time, although she hovers around it frequently.

This record run in 20 hours was a total of 50,900 feet per hour, as .compared with the Marshfield mills more than 100,000 feet per hour, which, to the Southerners who have looked with wonderment at the Bogalusa operation, will' give something of an understanding of that mammoth Oregon sawmill.

Great Plant at Virginia,IVlinn.

One more plant remains to be discussed, one that is advertised as "The largest, most modern and complete white pine lumber plant in the world." That it IS the largest, there seems to be no doubt.

It is operated by the Virgirtia & Rainy Lake Company at Virginia, Minnesota. For a long time it was considered the biggest sawmill plant in the world, and very likely was entitled to that distinction.

Virginia is a double milling plant, withtwo great sau'mills, one of them larger than the other, standing on opposite sides of the same huge mill pond. Their No. 3 mill, as they call it, is a tremendous unit, being equipped with five band headrigs, and one horizontal resaw. the mill across the pond, Mill No. 2, has two bands and a resaw. These mills run two ten-hour shifts daily, and cut with ease a million feet in twenty hours, and over three hundred million feet a year. No other white pine plant in any locality

HOLMES EUREKA

cuts anything like this amount of lumber, thereby establishing the claim of the Virginia-people to having the.world's largest white pine plant.

Naturally, the remainder of the plant is well in keeping with the great sawmill capacity. Their planer is one of the largest on earth, probably the very largest. It is equipped with twenty major planing mill machines, and resaws, not counting smaller equipment like cut-off saws, etc. Each machine is directly electrically driven.

Virginia is located 63 miles inland from Duluth, through which port it enjoys water shipping facilities and ships a tremendous amount of lumber east from there, while four railroad lines serve it in a rail distributing way.

While located in a country where the thermometer drops to 45 below zero, they operate the winter through by steam warming their log pond.

The plant covers 380 acres of land, and they operate 59 miles of railroad. Lumber is handled all over the plant by electric motor cars, and the overhead tramway system is used in the yards. The dressed sheds hold seven million feet of lumber. Their loading is all done under cover. They manufacture principally white and Norway pine, with some spruce, tamarack and poplar.

Edward Hines of Chicago is president of the company and F. E. Weyerhaeuser is treasurer. Thos. Whitten is general manager and F. N. Taylor is sales manager. The general officeq are at Virginia.

That this is one of the great sawmills of the world, there can be no doubt. Its entire equipment in power plants, logging equipment, local improvements, etc., are well in, keeping with the mill itself.

fn Resume

There are six milling plants on earth that can cut or do cut a million feet a day-Marshfield, Longview, Tacoma, Hoquiam, Bogalusa and Virginia. Marshfield, with its huge Fir mill and its smaller cedar mill, has and can cut over a million in a single shift. So can Longview, withits two big units. Tacoma and Hoquiam require three shifts to cut a million. Bogalusa and Virginia can cut a million in two ten-hour shifts.

This has been simply a hasty review of the major equipment of these sawmilli, given iersely to fit this siory.Cin later qccasions we ho'pe to give morc details aboui these great milling'institutions in these columns.

r'You tn€?tl to tell me, too, that Jesus Christ was a Jew?" aslted Johnnie, in the deepest amazement.

"Yes," said the Pastor again, "Jesus was a Jew. Why?"

"I don't understand that at ail," replied the youthful, with much doubt in his tone.

"Don't understand what, Johnnie?" asked the .reverend gentleman.

"If God isa Presbyterian like they say," said Johnnie, "I don't see how His only son could be a Jew."

What Does "Guarantee" Mean to YOII?

With Hipolito Screen Doors and Window Screens it means you can't lose. It eliminates ths h623yd-for here is the Hipolito Guarantee-read it:

"The Hipolito Company, manufacturers of Hipolito Screen Doors, guarantee all Hipolito Doors to be thoroughly satisfactory to the customsl-1hs ultimate user.

"There are no strings to this. If the purchaser of each Hipolito Screen Door is not entirely satisfied with the door he gets, it will be cheerfully replaced by the dealer from whom purchased, who will in turn be reimbursed by the Hipolito Company."

Now with that backing can you figure any reason why it will not pay you to sell Hipolito Screen Doors and Window Screens?

Remember the old adage, "a satisfied customer comes f,ask"-snd Hipolito Screen Doors and Window Screens are extensively advertised to your customers and all those interested in building.

NOT much profit in selling just an ironing board. But here is a unit combining an ironing board and a broom closet that will make you rcal money.

It is just one of the 8o diferent units of hrnlnss Built. in Furniture. They are sold through building material dealers. Your city is a field for them.
