Among the Millmen

Al. Koehl, the well known Los Angeles millworker, is always an enthusiast. For several years he was a swimming fan, and gave a lot of his play time to aquatic sports. Now he has the golf bug, and it has bitten him fatally. He rvill probably never get well from this last attack. And what's more, he wants to get other people in his same line of business in the same sort of trouble, so he is hoping now to stir up some millwork golfing competition in his own trade. He is jealous of the fact that the lumber gang have lots of golfing fun, and meet several times a year in golf tournaments,'and he hopes that some competition of that sort will develop among the millwork men. That's about as far as it has gone, as yet. But he is serving notice that there is going to be something doing very soon along that line in the near future. It wouldn't be surprising to see a golf tournament in connection with the next millwork meeting.

Something entirely new in a wood block floor is just being installed in the offices of the great new Firestone Tire building in Los Angeles. The factory floors are entirely covered with Redwood blocks, and the floor is undoubtedly the finest of its kind ever laid, as the laying of this particular sort of factory floor is improving all the time. There is 330,000 square feet of floor in this factory covered with Redwood blocks, nearly a million feet of Redwood lumber being used in the blocks.

- But the tricky floor is is the office department, with about 6,000 square feet of floor. This is being covered with the Redwood blocks. bordered and interlaced with blocks of Sugar Pine. The effect will be wonderful, the white bordering and interlacing contrasting grandly with the red of the floor generally. This is something entirely new in this sort of flooring.

-The work is being done by The Redwood Block Floor Company, W. M. Garland Building, Los Angeles.
