Vagabond Editorials

By Jack Dionne

He preached of the Prodigal Son's return, And asked what they thought: said one "I don't see no reason for killin' the calf For somethin' the boy has done."

The great French liberator, Voltaire, was asked on a certain occasion the reason for his unusually bombastic remarks, and promptly replied: "Among wolves, one must howl a little."

***

Voltaire will be famous forever, first because he did more to make men free than any other figure in history. Secondly, he will be remembered always for his famous replies. In the parlance of the slang of today, he "knew all the answers." They were not always polite.

{. ,1. !f

Once a lady with a well-known past boasted to Voltaire of her religious enthusiasm. Voltaire said to her: "Madam, I have noticed that when uroman ceases to be proclaimed by men-she turns to God."

Hundreds of famous r":;" lre attriuuted to voltaire, but none so well known as his declaration-which has become the textbook of tolerance-"I do not agree with a word you say, but I will die defending your right to say it."

**:f

He appeared in Europe at a time in the world's history that fairly shouted to the high heavens for such a leader. He came as the ansurer to a prayer for such a champion. And today Europe rapidly approaches a stage once more where liberty sinks in a bottomless morass, and where another Voltaire is needed almost as badly as when the first one came.

Ego-madness, degeneracy, power-lust are in the European ascendency. The Four Florsernen saddle their terrible steeds in readiness to ride again.

I don't know what the outbreak of a European war would mean to business in this country. The outbreak of the World War, of course, made most lines of business in this country very prosperous. f am not thinking of the awful possibility that threatens across the Atlantic in terms of business, but I can't help wondering. But one thing is

certain, whenever the China-Japanese war ends there will be a terrific demand for lumber on the Pacific Coast that will relieve the domestic market for years to come. Japan and China were mighty users of West Coast woods. Today they use nothing.

Talked the other day to an old friend of mine who is getting himself out of business as fast as possible. I asked him why. He said, "There is no fun being in business any more, so I am going to quit. For many years I have run my business from eight in the morning until six in the after' noon, and I did it because I got a world of fun out of it. I loved my business. Now all the fun is gone. My meri aren't my friends any more i they are just organized employes. I have to spend more than half my time studying and working on things that were unknown to business ten years ago, so my business doesn't get along so well with only part of my time directed to its practical operations. And if I make money, I have to give up most of it. There's no fun in business, and I'm going to quit."

Blessed is the man who has fun in his life work, whatever it may be. Otherwise work is but drudgery, regardless of the financial reward. John Ruskin said: "The entire object of education is not merely to make people do the right thing, but to enjoy doing the right thing; not merely to be industrious, but to enjoy industry; not merely to be learned, but to love knowledge; not merely to be just, but to hunger and thirst after justice." **rN€

Advice to the thin: Don't eat fast. Advice to the fat: Don't eat. Fast. ***

CAN and WILL are cousins, Who never trust to luck, WILL is the son of Energy, CAN is the son of Pluck.

CAN'T and WON'T are cousins, Always out of work, WON'T is the son of Never Try, And CAN'T is the son of Shirk.

ing, is REPETITION. Of course it makes a difrerence what you repeat. Repetition makes reputation, but foolish repetition makes a reputation for foolishness. Although there is a difference between the mere power of repetition in itself, and the other and greater power of writing attractively and convincingly, mere naked repetition has a power of its own. Advertisers fail if they do not get clearly into their heads the power of repetition alone, without any ornament, or paint, or varnish, or fancy trimming." ***

Wm. H. Davis, chair'man of the New York State Board of Mediation and a member of President Roosevelt's commission which studied labor and industry conditions in England, in a recent speech expressed himself as greatly impressed with British conditions. There is no National Labor Relations Board, or anything like it, in England. There is no outside interference of any sort in labor disputes. And there are almost no strikes. When there are disputes and both parties agree to arbitrate, they do not agree to abide by the arbitrator's decision. There are committees of all sorts for all sorts of disputes. There are committees to settle inter-union disputes, so that work need not stop while the dispute is being settled. Large

and responsible labor unions and large and powerful industrial and employer unions make all agreements, and settle their affairs between themselves. Compulsory arbitration was tried, and was a complete failure.

Undoubtedly the Britis; t;"r:.,", situation has much to recommend it. That it makes for peaceful settlement of labor disputes is proof of its worth. But to my mind, even in such a condition, something of inestimable value has been lost to the average working man. The greatness of the United States for .the last hundred odd years has been built upon the fact that no boy was so poor in the beginning that he might not some day becorne Governor, Senator, President, a Henry Ford, a Benjamin Franklin, a Steinmetz, a Burbank, an Edison, a Marshall Field. In England, also, opportunity has knocked at every man's door, whether he be born in palace or hovel. But what chance has the boy of the future, under these English conditions, to roll away the rocks that bar his upward pathway? What room, what opportunity has the boy who can think better, work harder and longer, produce more, DO more than the other fellow? Is there room for ambition, for efficiency, for virility, for the gegetter-in such a national program? Will a national goose-step make for future greatness?

Strable Hardwood Company Completes New Warehouses and Offices

Bert Brycn Genercl Mcncger

Thirty-two years ago the Strable Hardwood Company came into being with one car of 4/4" Birch as a total inventory. The growth of this company was slow at fifst, and at no time spectacular; nevertheless, this growth has been continuous.

This accumulated gro'uvth is manifested, in part at least, by the splendid new warehouses and offices recently completed.

In this new building, the latest appliances for prompt and careful handling of outgoing shipments have been installed, and the interior of each gangway has been carefully planned to facilitate the handling, storage and proper care of the diversified products handled by this company.

Bert Bryan, general manager, says that he is gratified with the progress made by his firm, but values the organization which has made this progress possible and the many sincere friendships in the lumber industry along the West Coast which have developed over this long period of years, far and above any material gain which has accrued.

In this organization there are four men who have been with the firm for more than twentyfive years, and most of the others from

In addition to the finished warehouses and offices, there is in the course of construction a 75'x8A' warehouse on the rear spur track, which will be floored car-door-high and be used exclusively for Fir Wallboard. This particular unit is to be equipped with a gasoline powered lift truck, which will handle from 300 to 50O panels at a time from car to pile and from pile to truck and stack them up to fifteen feet high.

It is quite evident that this is one firm which has confidence in the future and is preparing for further growth.

One of the nation's great woodworking plantsSeven and one-half acres under roofA wealth of modern, efficient machinery and equipmentA crew in which every man is a specialistRaw materials the finest-Sugar Pine mostlyA highly coordinated organization throughoutGenerous warehouses and dependable stocksBut-let's not get ahead of the story.

Fifteen years ago the Pacific Door & Sash Company, of Los Angeles, which had then been in business more than 25 years, decided to build a millwork plant extraordinary. They went out to the then very new industrial district along the San Fernando Road, and just where the Los Angeles and Glendale city limitis meet on that highway and Tyburn Street, they bought 25 acres of land splendidly situated for their purpose. And they immediately started construction of what they believed to be-and they were qualified specialists in their line-the finest plant of its character in the entire United States. Nothing was spared to complete that ambition. First they constructed a tremendous concrete pla{form and base, and over this they built,the mighty mill, coverinC 7% acres, so ingeniously construtted. that every nook and corner was usefully employed by the various departments, and lighted by the sun itself.

In this great mill they installed a perfect forest of the latest and finest type of woodworking machinery that ingenuity had at that time devised for turning lumber into doors, windows, and millwork. There was ample room for the proper laying out of every department in harmony, and everything was done on a generous scale. When they had finished they had left nothing undone, and when the plant started in March, 1924, people came from far and near to see it in operation.

Misfortune overtook the Pacific Door & Sash Company, and in J:uly, 1934, the Pacific Wood Products Corporation, which had been created for that purpose, bought the entire business and assets of the older concern, the great mill on Tyburn Street being chiefest of the properties. The new owners found the plant to be in wonderful condition' and proceeded to operate it.

The officers of the Pacific Wood Products Corporation arei George A. J. Howard, president; John D. Connell, vice-president; Frank Curran, vice-president; A' A. Tomlinson, secretary and treasurer. They made Mr. Tomlin-

son gerreral manager of the business, and Mr. "Pick" Maule, one of the most popular millwork men in Southern California who had been with Pacific since 1925, r,r'as made production manager. And they went ahead to operate the millwork plant, aiming to create for it a place in the mill picture as a useful and dependable service station for doors, windows, and millwork, not only for the Los Angeles territory but for the national trade as well. So well have they succeeded that at the end of four years of ownership a CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT visitor recently found the place a beehive of well directed industry and activity; a splendid institution running in great style and doing a wonderful and continually growing business'

This monster mill is now devoted to the production of stock doors, sash, windows, and millwork, which they distribute exclusively through jobbers and dealers. While their products are used chiefly in Southern California, yet they likewise enjoy a splendid trade in Arizona, and in addition have built up a growing trade throughout the United States. As an example, they shipped 40 full carloads of materials last year to the Metropolitan New York City district, where they are represented by one of the best known millwork men in the country, George Evans, of Evans-MacArthur Company. Their eastern trade is growing steadily as the reputation of their distinctive quality products spreads.

, The manufacture of windows has become their biggest business. While the mill has a daily capacity of one thousand doors, the building trends of the past several years bringing the Monterey and other similar types of home construction into prominence, has created a tremendously increased window business, which has been a wonderful thing for Pacific. Equipped with every possible modern device and machine for the making of quality windows, they have been enabled not only to supply their own wholesale window trade but likewise they manufacture windows for. numerous excellent sash and door concerns less perfectly equipped for window making. All windows made by Facific are of Sugar Pine.

In fact this big mill specializes in the making of Sugar Pine products. They use no other Pine. While they. make a splendid line of Fir doors to supply the Fir door trade, the large bulk of their business is Sugar Pine. Today they are one of the largest consumers of shop Sugar Pine in the

entire country. Last year they brought into the Tyburn plant 335 carloads of shop lumber, and it was almost all Sugar Pine.

Right norv they are specializing in a nerv door that the trade has received with high acclaim. It is an economy door with Sugar Pine stiles and rails, and Fir panels. The carpenter trade loves to handle Sugar Pine, and this gives them a grand utility door at modest prices.

The plant has been kept absolutely up to date. While most of the equipment originally installed is still of the most modern and efficient character, yet the new owners realized that even such a plant as this must keep up with the march of time. For that reason they have purchased and installed new and additional machinery of the latest and most scientific character, various of these units costing many thousands of dollars each. This has kept the plant as definitely up to date as it was when first constructed.

The waste problem is met by manufacturing box shook, mouldings, and plate stock. Last year they shipped 30 cars of Sugar Pine box shook, and also made a considerable volume of small mouldings out of their waste. One of their

Above: One oI the gcng ripscws does some very ellective work. big waste products today is something new in lumber, namely, Sugar Pine plates, made of short, clear, glued-up cut-stock. They sell these squares, ready to be "turned" into fruit and vegetable plates, by the thousand. Perhaps a brief description of the operation of this big plant will be of interest to the lumber trade. The lumber enters the mill via Ross Carrier, which brings it from the freight cars or storage racks to the back of a battery of band ripsarvs. There are three of these saws here, and another just around the corner, in case of necessity. The operators of these ripsaws work with no further instruction than to get the maximum of good lumber from the shop stock. Then the ripped lumber goes ahead to a battery of 8 cut-off saws, where it is cut to length before entering the mill proper. As the lumber leaves the cut-off saws it is marked and identified for either door, window, or box cuts. The door and window stock is re-graded, and then goes different ways for further manufacture.

Below: A corner oI the cut-gtock wcrehouse showing stile grcding.

one for cloor and two for window stock. Coming from the tenoners it goes to and through five electric moulders, commonly called "stickers," expensive high-speed machines making 8,500 revolutions per minute. All these electric moulders are driven with frequency changers which increase the speed of the heads, and make for perfect machining with a minimum of knife marks. Next come five drum sanders which run stock up to 72 inches wide, and to complete the sanding department there are two belt sanders and one special check-rail window sander; an rlnusual service.

This plant does a certain amount of manufacturing detail material, and while making stock is the preponderance of their business, they nevertheless are very proud of the character of their s,pecial detail products'and service. Detail items are manufactured separately from stock items, there being ample room in this mill to keep them separate.

The veneer department is an institution in itself. In one corner of the great plant there is a veneer sawmill equipped with two veneer saws. Here they cut specially

purchased "cants" into veneers, which then pass into a big and completely equipped veneer room where there is every type of veneering equipment. Here they make beautiful and highly detailed doors for fancy and expensive uses such as movie star homes. This department likewise serves the furniture trade, furnishing it with stock and detailed panel work of unusual character. The veneer department and the build-up and gluing department alone occupy the space of an ordinary millwork plant.

A very important department at the Pacific plant is a battery of 8 big Moore type steam dry kilns. There is likewise a most modern machine shop and a filing room, where they do the up-keep work for all their own equipment. A new electric arc welder has recently been added to this department.

The distribution service is excellent. Unlimited warehouse space takes care of all the stock they want to carry. Railroad facilities for loading carload orders are adequate. A fleet of trucks serves the Metropolitan Los Angeles field. Here a very nice advertising idea is in use, the trucks all

The entire plant is well coordinated, the lumber moves constantly forward without unnecessary back-hauling or stoppage, and the entire mill gives a visitor the impression of being brigh'tly-lighted, clean, open, and attractive. Harmony is well preserved throughout the institution. And the products are of uniformly very high quality, the unusually fine and varied equipment making it possible for them to perform niceties with their work that would be impossible to mills not so well equipped mechanically.

Besides the general manager and production manager already mentioned, included in the personnel of the plant are: E. J. Frutchey, mill foreman; C. Ames, machine foreman; Jack De Remer, cutting foreman; Walter Jackson, shipping clerk. In the office the work is done by E. T. Hodges, O. A. Setterberg, Roy He,nry, R. B. Surdo, Miss Miss

This committee consists of four directors from the Northern District and four from the Southern District. A Nominating Committee composed of Paul Hallingby, F. Dean Prescott, M. A. Harris and Earl Johnson was appointed to make nominations for president and treasurer,

The financial statement of the Association for the first four months of the current fiscal year was discussed and accepted and a resolution was passed authorizing the contribution of $500.00 to the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association for use in its contemplated Public Relations Department, the contribution to be made if and when the National Association has received either money or pledges for the balance of its budget required for this Department.

The following applications for membership in the Association were presented and approved: Valley Lumber Company of Lodi; A. F. Stevens Lumber Company, Healdsburg; Jno. L.

BREAKING IT GENTLY

Murphy had been careless in handling the blasting powder in the quarry, and his friend Duffy had been deputized to break the news gently to the widow.

"Mrs. Murphy," he began; "isn't it today the fellow calls for the weekly payment on Murphy's life insurance?"

"It is that," replied Mrs. Murphy wonderingly.

"\ll/ell, here's a word for ye ear," whispered Dufry. "You can snap your fingers in his face today."

ELOQUENCE

I am aware that many object to the severity of my language. But is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as Truth, as uncompromising as Justice. On this subject I do not wish to think, to speak, or write with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mot*rer to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen-but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest-I will not equivocateI will not excuse-I will not retreat a single inch-and I will be heard. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hastetr the resurrection of the dead.

Sister of earth, that we at last have found, Roaming the outer dark so cold and far, To whom the sun is but a golden star, What welcome we would send you, if a sound Could cross the mighty night that rings us round' And all those empty distances, and jar

The stillness of the spaces where you are' The greatest traveler, and the least renowned.

No, it would all be waste, you would not care' You are so distant from the sun that we Are warm with sympathies you could not share By the grey bleakness of that stellar sea, Through which, unknown to us, so long you steer Lonely and pale on your three-centuried year.

United States Gyprur Co. \fill Erect New Plant in Florida

Chicago, Sept. 8,-Plans for the erection of a new and completely modern plant near Jacksonville, Fla., to aid in servicing the growing southern building market were announced today by the United States Gypsum Company.

They substantially reflect, it is stated, the confidence of the Company in the rapid industrial development throughout the South and the corresponding stimulus this activity should continue to give to building construction.

The new plant will embody new and distinctive advancements in design, construction and equipment which the Research and Engineering Departments of the Company have originated and perfected.

The location was carefully selected after long study, the manag'ement said, because of the splendid local facilities available with respect to transportation, power and labor. The property will be situated adjacent to docks where Company boats will deliver gypsum rock from Com,pany quarries for the manufacture of a complete line of gypsum boards, gypsum plasters and other gypsum building materials.

This new expansion in the widespread and strategically located properties of the United States Gypsum Company holds unusual interest for dealers and builders in the South. It not only opens up opportunities for the development of new and outstanding products particularly adaptable to southern construction, but it also completes a network of manufacturing bases which will provide exceptionally prompt delivery and specialized attention to all the southern states.

The established plant at Plasterco, Va., will continue in operation, with the new plant at Jacksonville providing the additional capacity which the growth of Southern business is making advisable. Completing the service picture for the entire souther'n part of the United States will be the southwestern plants at Sweetwater, Texas, Southard, Okla., and an insulation board plant at Greenville. Miss.

The Company operates 55 mills and warehouses. The full line com,prises home and industrial insulation products, paint products, wallboards, asphalt and asbestos roofing and siding products, built-up roofing and roof decks, steel specialties, lathing materials, base and finish coat plasters, acoustical materials and building and chemical lime products.

These are used principally in new building or modernizing construction but also have special industrial markets.

They are sold through thousands of retail lumber and building material dealers.

District offices are established at: Atlanta, Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New York, Omaha, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, St. Louis, San Francisco and Washington.

F. G. HANSON ON EASTERN TRIP

F. G. Hanson, 'West Coast Screen Company, Los Angeles, is on an Eastern business trip in connection with increasing the sales of the company's well known Hollywood door. He left Los Angeles on September 7 and spent some time in San Antonio and lfouston, Texas. From there he will go to Minneapolis and Chicago and expects to be back in about 30 days.

He states that it was curious to note that the logs drifted to the shore and beaches almost immediately, which is contrary to the general belief that the logs were jeopardizing various boats in the steamer lanes.

Our decision to follow this policy is not the thinking of one man . but the result of a th,orough market study of the roofing business and a careful analysis of hundreds of replies to a letter I sent to 10,000 retailers to get their opinions of the roofing merchandising problems and their suggestions for the best solutions "

Mr. Collins' talk was followed by a presentation of the line by Mr. Kiernan demonstrating the advantages oI each of the 46 items in the line, including shingles, siding, mineral and smooth surfaced roll roofing, insulating papers, felts, roof coatings, cements,
