1. Unlimited market

Douglas Fir Plywood is truly the most versatile item you can carry. Its uses are unlimited bence its market is unlimited. There's scarcely a home, store, industry, school or business that doesn't contain Douglas Fir Plywood a.nd tbat can't tse a lot mora So push Douglas Fir plywood and push it hard, Cash in on the miraculous opportunity this "modern miracle in wood" ofiers every lumber dealer.

2. Streamlined inventory

Douglas Fir Plywood is easy ro handle and sell. It's as stable io its way as 2x4's. No fancy fnishes can suddenly make your stock obsolete. No new colors can cause you to pyramid new stock on stock you haven't been able to move. $7hen you carry the five grades of Douglas Fir Plywood in representative sizes and thicknesses, you have a complete, streamlined inventory that will serve every demand.

3. "Grade trade-marked" plywood

'lfhen customers say: "I want some plywood to build a boat," "I need some plywood sheathing," "I'm going to build a tennis table," etc. , . you know instantly the exact grade each person needs. For every panel of Douglas Fir Plywood is stamped with a "grade trade-mark" that makes identification and specifcation easy and positive. Order by these "grade trade-marks". . sell by them... proft by them!

4. Dri-Bilt promotion

Hundreds of sales of a few panels each are good business but frequent sales of a hundted panels to progressive builders on top of your other volume are even better business. This extra volume is just what the 2 DriBilt with Ply'wood methods of construction were designed to give you. The standard DriBilt method is best suited to one-house-at-a-time construction. The DFP Dri-Bilt method is for multiple-unit projects. Both methods have been proved practical and proftable by builders all over the country. If you haven't complete details about them, write for free literature now.

5. F.H.A, acoeptance

Because F,H.A. has accepted Douglas Fir Plywood for home construction because its use is approved in the Uoiform Building Code either Dri-Bilt or partial'plywood homes can be easily financed. This means easy sales. So urge your builders to try Dri-Bilt with plywood construction . and enjoy really big plywood profts.

How Lumber Looks

Seattle, -W_ashington, Septemb er 9, 194O.-The weekly averag.e of West -Coast lumber production in August (4 weeks) was 151,137,000 board feet, or 76.7 per cenf of the weekly average lor 1926-L929, the industry's years of highest production, according to the West C6asi Lumberrien,s Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders a_v_eraged 181,539,000 board feet; shipments, 153,194,000. Weekly averages for July were: production, |26,7LZ,W lggta^ i""-t_ (64.3 per cent of the lV26-I929 average); orders, I62,298,ON ; shipments, L36,925,W.

First 35 weeks of 1940, cumulative production, 4,720,1 79,W-!ggtd feet ; same period, 1939,4,202,505,000 ; 1938, 3,312,390,000.

Orders for 35 weeks of l94O break down as follows: rail, 2,305,481,000 board feet; domestic cargo, 1,782,393,W; export, 298,868,000, local, 628,878,ffiO.

_ Th9 industry's unfilled order file stood at 623,206,W board feet at the end of August; gross stocks, at 892,000,000.

More- tlan any other industry, lumber is feeling the imp_a!t -o{ ,the national defense program. Requireinents in this field were a leading factor in -West Coasi lumber dur- ing August.. Defense orders are now being placed for camps and air bases and to provide for the adtilional cantonments that will be needed with the mobilization of the National Guard and the forces created under the selective draft law.

On these and related lines the defense program calls first for lumber. This demand is of course nbt io be classified as a permanent factor in the national lumber market, which still relies gajnlf upon home building. Lumber requirements for all defense purposes will amount to no more-than 8 per_cent of national lumber production over a two-year period, on the basis of estimated 1940 production.

The National Defense Advisory Commission has made an

estimate of from 4 to 4% billion feet required for defense uses over a period of from Ll to 2 years, with 1940 national lumber consumption calculated at 28 billion feet by the Department of Commerce.

Meanwhile the ordinary building industry use of lumber remains active, after gradual recovery from a dip in the June record of U. S. building permits. Lumber stocks nationally appear to be at about the same ratio to current consumption as in 1977-28-D. The West Coast lumber industry is running well up toward capacity. Indications are that this rate will continue, at least through the full peak of demand for urgent defense projects taking lumber.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended August 31, 1O5 ,mills reporting, gave orders as 43,305,@O feet, shipments 40,336,000 feet, and production 30,514,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 114,134,000 feet.

The Western Pine Association August 31, 98 mills reporting, gave feet, shipments 83,585,000 feet, and feet. Orders on hand at the end 327,100,000 feet.

for the we'ek ended orders as 106,838,000 productio,n 86,884,000 of the week totaled

During the week ended August 31, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association reported 451 rrnills produced 253j64,W feet of softwoods and hardwoods combined, shipped n4,243,W feet, and booked orders of' 314,878,000 feet.

Lumber orders reported by 373 softwood mills for the week totaled 304,215,000 feet, shipments were 262,879,m feet, and productio'n was 244,984,00O feet.

Reports from 9O hardwood mills for the week gave new business as 10,663,000 feet, shipments J.1,364,000 feet, and production 8,580,000 feet.

Read the following the other day. When Hitler was making one of his dramatic speeches a couple of months ago, he shouted: "We will fight on and on until Germany dominates the world!" And a woman near the front of the audience slreamed hysterically"WITH \VHOSE SONS?" She is in a concentration camp no$r. ***

In 1918 Rudyard Kipling wrote: "There are just two kinds of people in the world-Germans and human beings -and the more Germans we kill, the better off the human beings will be." As I write these lines those same Ger, mans Kipling was talking about are giving a lot of human beings a bitter foretaste of hetl.

An old German peasant, when asked what he thought about Hitler, replied: "Well, he has done one thing for us; he has freed us from our liberties." And a scholarly friend of mine calls my attention to the fact that such a statement was NOT made jokingly or even critically. "History will tell you," said my friend, "that not only for generations and centuries, but away back through the ages as far as you can trace the German blood, they have always known and loved a master. When they tried Democracy a few years back, they made a poor job of it, because they didn't understand it, or like it. They want to be told what to do, and they follow orders marvelously. But they don't want independencei or freedom." ***

The history books bear out that statement. And yet it is well to remember in these days of bitterness against the Nazi, what magnificent people the German-American citizens in this country are, and what splendid patriots and lovers of Democracy they unquestionably make. If f were

to name the finest specimens of Americans I know personally, I would promptly place at the top of that list various of my life-long friends of German blood in the State of Texas. The need of a master, so painfully evident in Germann has certainly not manifested itself in them. Some of the most blessed treasures I hold in life are the friendships of various men and women of German origin whom I have known always. Grand and honorable men! Noble women ! Inspirational citizens ! t(t<*

Recently the headlines told of investigation by the Dies Committee of certain members of the movie colony who were accused of being Reds. There are some things I can get through my thick skull, but here is one proposition that absolutely stumps me. How some guy with the mentality of a truck driver and the top earning capacity of about twenty bucks a week in any other walk of life except the screen, but who makes thousands of dollars a week in his present profession, can deliberately plot to wreck a system that lifts him from a punk to a prince, is just naturally too much for me to sawy. Naturally the movie colony is loaded down with screwballs, but I don't see how even a screwball can be that screwy.

Which brings up again one of my favorite peeves-movie salaries. I asked one of the brightest men I know just the other day why he almost never went to a picture show, and he said it was because he hated to be a contributor to the infamous movie salary racket; paying thousands of dollars a week to a world of people who neither earn nor deserve it, and whose earning ability outside the movies would be much less than they now pay their servants. While I buy plenty of moving picture tickets, I feel the same way about it. It is the most oven-paid business in the world. If movie compensation could be made to compare with that in other lines of effort or business, theatre tickets that now cost fifty cents, would be somewhere between ten and twenty. And the public has an interest in that, and a very live interest. Every time I see some gal who would otherwise be behind sorne ribbon counter, pulling down thousands of bucks a week for her screen efforts; or some guy getting still more thousands as a "producer" who should properly be handling the business end

Flarbord Concrete form plywood carries the Plycrete gtade mark and has the highest uniform performance record of any form material made. PLYCRETE is made to fit any concrete form job ttlike a glovett{ue in part to the choice of panel tyPes esPecially made for varying conditions of service-use and requirements. For PLYCRETE is engineered to do a job the way it should be done, in fact, made for the job-to fit. You have a selection of two types and valu$-ss6h designed for specific service performance.

SUPER-HARBORD PLYCRETE is engi. neered for maximum reuse, manufactured by the hot plate process with a resin binder plus tempeting for use where excessive rnoisture conditions prevail.

SUPER-Harbord Plycrete is so branded and bears the supplementary industry brand "EXT-D.F.P.A.'

HARBORD PLYCRETE is made with a very highly water-resistant casein base cold glue, and is rated by the National Bureau of Standards (CS45-3E) as being especially suitable for concrete form work. Edges are sealed and branded "Ffarbord Plycrete" and in addition bears the supplementary industry brand ttPlyform.tt

SUPER-HARBORD PLYCRETE and HARBORD PLYCRETE are priced properly and in accordance with economical cost.per-rse so always name I'PLYCRETE'not just *PLYV/OODr'' which identifies the grade and insures the maximum performance and satisfaction.

(Continued from Page 6) of a push-cart, it makes me see red. And if enough people raised Hell about it, something might be done. The whole movie industry is padded with outrageous and unearned salaries, and John Public foots the bill. What I consider the most unintelligent industry in the country, is the most overpaid. The easy "take" of the big movie ..agents', would make an oil gusher look like pin money. And the public pays that, too. No wonder those fat movie magnates look at the world with a fishy eye. It is certainly easy pickings for a lot of very dull minds.

Which reminds me of what some clever cynic remarked about a famous movie actress: "Her body is Vogue, but her mind is Vague."

Here's a sweet line about advertising that I stumbled on the ottrer day. It's from a book "Growing Up With Advertising," written by Joseph Appel, and he says: .,Advertising is the million tongued salesman, the modern show window, the voice of the store." Not bad, eh?

Fortune tellers. Millions of people love 'em, especially the ladies. One of the best fortune telling stories I ever heard was about a New York City policewoman investigating various rackets, who had her fortune told by more than one hundred well known fortune tellers in the big ciry. They all guessed many thinge about her, but the strange thing is that not one of the hundred alleged second-sight artists ever guessed that she was a cop.

They asked Benny Fields, famous British stage entertainer, to sing at a big dinner (not a patriotic thing, unr derstand). He asked how much he got. They said, "Nothing." "Ahr" remarked Fields, "Only the birds sing free.t'

Allan Mowbray, British screen actor who lives in Hollywood, told me this one. He came out of the Hollywood Stadium one evening with a group of friends, and was starting for the Brown Derby for some food, when he

bumped into old Bill Robinson, farnous colored dancer and actor of stage and screen. Old Bill never steps over the color line, which accounts for much of his popularity. Mowbray said to him, "Bill, we're going to the Brown Derby to get some food, and we'd like you to come along." "No, thanks," said the old soft-shoe artist. "Do come," insisted Mowbray. "\Me want you to." "No thank you," said Robinson, again. "What the Hell are you doing to me, Bill?" demanded the Englishman. "Drawing the color line on me?"

If you want to get a rough idea of what the Washington crowd thinks of the mentality of the average voter, run this one over in your mind. You recall that just before the California primaries, Mr. Roosevelt "put the finger" on Senator Hiram Johnson who was running for reelection. So Johnson lashed back savagely, declaring that the President was taking us "down the road to war and dictatorship." That was one Friday. The very next day, THE VERY NEXT DAY, REMEMBER, the President's Secretary in Chief, Stephen Early, alighted from a plane in Los Angeles, called the newspaper boys around him, and confided in them in such manner that it got seven-column headings, that President Roosevelt was trying to figure ways and means for building huge steel mills, like at Gary, Indiana, in Southern California. Yes, sir, right in Los Angeles. After Senator Johnson's blast appeared Secretary Early hardly got time to pack a suitcase before he was sent fying to California to hand out that yarn to the voters. Judging from what happened at the polls right afterwards, the Californiia voters put the proper value on that strange gesture.

Well, in the next few days the San Francisco show on beautiful "Treasure fsland" will close its doors for good. But the San Francisco bridges will stilt be there. And my personal opinion is that the bridges attract more tourists to San Francisco than the Exposition. No longer can a San Francisco Hoo-Hoo facetiously inquire as I heard one do at a luncheon once when an Oakland Brother rose and invited the S. F. bunch to the Oakland meeting: 'HOW DO YOU GET OVER THERE?" The big bridge answers that question before it is asked.

An unfortunate victim of a nervous breakdown suffered from the hallucination that there was a man following him, and he lived in constant fear of this dread figure that, he said, shadowed him wherever he went. Doctors tried their best to shake his belief in this spectre. Always, he said, that man was there behind him.

Finally they brought in a psychiatrist. This gentleman talked to the sick man a while, then undertook the case.

A week later the psychiatrist called on the patient.

"I have the best of news for you," he said. "You really haven't a hallucination, at all. I've had you watched, and there really IS a man following you, everywhere you go."

"FIow far back?" asked the patient.

"About a hundred feet," said the doctor.

"Aw, that isn't the fellow," said the sick man. "That's the guy I hired to follow the fellow that's following me."

Frequent Physical Examination-The Road to Health

The Lord only lorows how mtrny thiugs they might hcrve lound the nrcrtter with themselves il they hcd iust tcken the bouble to lind out.

Methuselah lived 969 yeqrs and linally got drowned in lhe flood. I'll bet that old rasccl hcrd pus scrcks ct the roots ol his teeth for nine hundred yeqrs, continuclly pumping poison through his systeur.

Residential Construction Showed Feather River Pine Mills Building Big Increase in July and Modern Plant at Feather Falls

Washington, Sept. 7-Residential construction in the United States leaped forward in July, increasing 38 per cent over June, economists of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board reported today.

The percentage increase was based upon an analysis of the residential construction index adjusted for normal seasonal variations. The index stood at 53.2 f.or July as compared with 36.6 in June. The index base of 100 used is for the year 1926.

Residential building in cities of 10,00O and greater population during the first seven months of the year totaled L7I,794 units costing $610,362,1@. These figures compared with 159.884 units built in the first seven months of last year at a cost of. $476,941,1ffi.

In July, new family dwelling units built or projected by all types of builders totaled 28,463 and were valued at $101,200,200. In June there were 22,476 units costing $81,273,200 and in July, 1939, 23,479 units were reported at a value of $85,610,100.

For some time, building figures in cities, in general, have shown a forward trend in one-family home construction and the bulk of the increase has been due to expanding activity on the part of private builders. The Board's figures on dwelling units in cities were based upon its monthly study of an analysis of building permits reported to the United States DeDartment of Labor.

One of the biggest and most modern sawmill plants being constructed this year in California is the Pine mill being built by the Feather River Pine Mills, Inc., at Feather Falls, Calif.

The sawmill proper has been in operation for several months, as previou'sly reported in these columns, and the remainder of the plant is being carried o,n to completion a unit at a time. The saw'mill is equipped with a ten-foot head rig, and a nine-foot double-cutting pony rig, two edgers, and automatic trimmer. The entire mill is driven by electricity.

There is now being built trvo modern fan type steam dry kilns, green storage shed, dry cooling shed, a dry sorter 196 feet long, a 23Gf.oot long dry shed, a large and well equipped planing mill. The plant is cutting about 150,00O feet on an eight hour shift.

A. H. Land, former operator of a mill at Oroville, is pnesident of the company, C. H. Land, his son, is his assistant, and Charles Schleef, well known Northern California mill ope,rator, is manager.

Situated as it is, close to abundant stands of timber, which give the retail dealer absolute assurance of an ample supply in years to come, it is possible to maintain tn all year operation on a basis which makes for the highest in mill operating efficiency. This in

turn is reflected in many ways to the benefit of the retail lumber dealer, who can order against the great range of grades and sizes at all times carried in stock in the largest lumber sheds in the wodd. Each of the two shed units is 1206' x 78' and accommodates mammoth overhead electric cranes for efficient and speedy handling.

Ponderosa Pine is recognized as the big volume general purpose wood. It is used successfully for nearly every building part and has wide industrial uses. One of its most important attributes is its /arv sbrinkage factor which is much less than many of the heavier soft woods. It is easy to work with, and it is popular with the carPenter trade who have long appreciated its many fine qualities.

The plant of Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., located at 2350 Jerrold Avenue, San Francisco, is many acres in extent, employs about 100, and it comes as a surprise to most people seeing it for the first time to find such a plant right in the heart of the city, with all modern facilities and carrying enormous stocks of every item of Redwood.

With their normal stock of from 10 to 12 million feet of dry Uppers this is probably one of the most complete drying yards of its kind. A11 of the green lumber is brought

The mill is modern and well equipped {or every purpose needed for machine milling.

More than 2,000,000 feet of Rustic, sidings and finish is carried in the sheds, which cover about four acres. The main shed is 360 x 50 feet.

Their lumber comes to San Francisco by car since the tying up of their three boats. All lumber is loaded by units

and unloaded by the Ross Lifter. This'equipment is also used in the piling of gr'een lumber for drying, which is facilitated by ample circulation created by this method of piling.

They also use four Ross Carriers in their yard work and these are a big factor in getting out orders promptly, not only for carloads but also for the loading of their truck-

fn October of last year the San Francisco yard operation and sales department were divorced from the Del Norte County operations which included the timber land, mill, etc.

The old company name was changed to the "North Coast Redwood Company" while the San Francisco operation took over the name "I{obbs Wall Lumber Co." and the selling organization with all of the San Francisco and Southern California property and its stock.

Charles H. Jonas is managing director of the Del Norte County operations which are now known as the North Coast Redwood Company, and also president and general manager of the Hobbs Wall Lumber Co. Lewis A. Godard is vice-president and in charge of sales.

Home Merchand:sing Meetings to be Held Fot 121000 Contractors

To help the building industry sell the public on the exceptional advantages of home building at the present time, The Celotex Corporation, in cooperation with 600 leading retail lumber dealers, will hold meetings during the next three months with more than lz,W home building contractors, according to Henry W. Collins, Celotex vice-president in charge of merchandising. The first meetings are scheduled for September 16th.

"At these meetings," announced Mr. Collins, "we expect to present both dealers and contractors with a comprehensive digest of the most practical merchandising ideas that we can find. Much of the material will be presented to the contractors in a form that will enable them to use it when talking to prospects.

"For example, each contractor will be given a digest of authoritative merchandising ideas explaining in detail the many current advantages of building a home. Included will be V. P. Ringer's article, 'When you Build-Get an Expert,' from the September Better Homes and Gardens andiHarold Rosenberg's editorial,'This Is a Good Time to grliia.' from The Practical Builder.

"fncluded in the material for dealers will be window streamers and posters, counter cards, newspaper publicity, and'advertising material. In addition to all this material, we will bring to the attention of 'both dealers and contractors the large volume of merchandising helps from other sources which will be valuable to them,

"The theme of the meetings lvith contractors will be 'Now fs the Time to Build !' The program will include the presentation of promotional material. both for selling new construction and for stimulating remodeling. We believe the use of this r4aterial will result in the erection of an increased riumber of homes and in the sale of a greater number of remodeling projects."

Philippine Lumber Producers Association Petitions Government for Relief and Recites Adverse Conditions

It is interesting to read of lumber conditions and situations outside the United States borders, but affecti,ng American-used lumber.

The annual issue of "COMME,RCE" the so-called "Voice of Philippine Business," issue in July by the Philippine Islands Chamber of Commerce, contains many pages regarding the hardwood lumber situation in the Islands. Two of these pages are filled by a very interesting letter written by A. W. Robertson, president of the Philippine Lumber Producers Association, to Hon. Beningo S. Aquino, Secretary of Agriculture and Commerce, relating the plight in which the lumber industry of the Isands now finds itself, and urging Governmental relief to help it through its present difficulties.

Faced by increasingly acute problems of increasing production costs, increased shipping costs, and shrinking outside markets, the lumber industry through Mr. Robertson, asks for relief fro,m many of its present burdens, notably taxes. The extreme curtailment of markets for Philippine lumber due to the war, has been accompanied by considerably increased production. Conditions in the foreign markets are repo,rted bad due to decreased territories that may be reached, and greatly increased freight and insurance rates. But the domestic market is declared badly disrupted on account of the fact that most of the new production sells only in dome'stic markets.

WITH CELOTEX CORP.

Don E. Coveney, who has been for the past 13 years with Strable Hardwood Company, Oakland, as salesman, resigned to become associated with The Celotex Corporation, September 1.

Don is doing promotional work among architects and contractors in the San Francisco Bay district, making his headquarters in Oakland.

Mr. Robertson says in his letter that "it is estimated that a combination of conditions have increased the cost of production of one thousand feet board measure by as much as ten dollars, during the period from the beginning of 1938 to the present time, and during that same period prices to have fallen off." He claimed that nery labor laws, new forestry charges, new sales taxes, new residence taxes, and new assessment laws have caused this great increase in the cost of. making Philippine lumber.

Mr. Robertson, president of the Philippine Lumber Producers Association, is manag"ing director of the Findlay Millar Timber Company in the fsands, thus giving this firm a corne,r on Philippine lumber presidencies since Walter Scrim is president of the American Association. E. C. Von Kauffmann is the first vice-president; R. H. Whitfield is the second vice-president; H. C. Pope and Luis Reyes are directors; and Martin Stapff is secretary-treasurer.

'Ihe following are the members of the Association: Anakan Lumber Co.; Atlantic Gulf & Pacific Co.; CadwalladerGibson Lumber Co.; Calubian Saw Mill; Eureka Sawmills & Co.; Findlay Millar Timber Co.; Hercules Lumber Co.; Insular Lumber Co.; Juan Del Gallego-Jaraiz; Lagoma Lumber Mill ; Mindanao Lumber Co.; Philippine Hardwood Co.; Philippine Lumb,er Manufacturing C.o.; Philippine Red Lumber Co.; Port Lamon Lumber Co.; Santa Clara Lumber Co.; Tomas B.

Palco Wool Used as a Cushion Layer in the New Track at Santa Barbara State College

Installation of Palco Wool as a cushion layer in the new running track at Santa Barbara State College, Santa Barbara, is now under way and the track will be ready for use some time this fall.

This is the first track in Southern California that has used Palco Wool as a cushion layer. The purpose of using Palco Wool is that it gives the track resiliency and more spring. The track will be a quarter mile in distance with a 22Gyad straightaway on the bleacher side.

The sub-base of the track is clay and sand, rolled carefully, on which is laid a 2l inch layer of Palco Wool, packed to about 10 pounds per cubic foot. Then a fine layer of sifted clay is applied to form a seal. Three different courses of clay are put over the layer of sifted clay, the courses being rolled with a 500-pound roller, each layer being separated with a very thin layer of sifted sand and clay.

The top layer, or running surface, is a very fine sifted clay, rolled with a 2000-pound roller, so that the surface will be absolutely smooth. The track is built on the old ocean bed and has exceptional drainage due to the ocean sand underneath the entire athletic field.

Thirty-eight tons of Palco Wool will be used in the track. The clay used is a special red clay {ound in the nearby mountains.

Palco Wool has been used in several running tracks in Northern California, including those at Stanford lJniver-

Showing

prior to lirst lcyer ol silted clcy. sity, Palo Alto High School, San Jose State College, Campbell High School, Sequoia High School at Redwood City, Placerville High School and Junior College at Auburn, and the University of Santa Clara. In the east, the track at the United States Military Academy at West Point has a Palco Wool cushion layer.

The track at Stanford University was built in 1934. A core of this taken out early this spring showed the Palco Wool to be in just as good condition as. the day it was put in.

Palco Wool is manufactured by The Pacific Lumber Company at its Scotia, Calif., plant.

Dick Johnson and Bob Hoover of The Pacific Lumber Company recently made a trip to Santa Barbara with Harry Trotter, track coach at the lJniversity of California at Los Angeles, and Bill Nicholas, superintendent of parks at Pasadena, and both Messrs. Trotter and Nicholas were very much impressed with the neu' Santa Barbara State College track.

Douglas Fir 2x4'sNearly Sixty Years Old Returned to Lumberman Who Sawed Them

In 1882 eighteen-year-old Jack Magladry stepped up over the heads of a number of veterans to the job of head sawyer in the pioneer Yesler mill of Seattle-then a community of 3500.

Later in the year E nerv frame business building was erected in Seattle, from lumber off the headsaw manned by able and ambitious young Magladry.

The building escaped the disastrous Seattle fire of 1889 and continued in use until the summer of this year. Then it was torn down, to make way for a modern structure. All the framing lumber was as good as new, or even better with its 58 years of seasoning, and has been consigned to another start in life in a new Seattle home.

But two pieces of.2x4 studding were sawed off and sent to Jack Magladry, for years now a leading lumber manufacturer of the Willamette Valley in Oregon. It's himself in the picture, with the Douglas fir studs he sawed in his rambunctious youth.

In each piece there are remnants of the square, handwrought steel nails which went out of use in the East after the Civil War, but u'hich survived longer in the Far West.

Since 1917 Jack Magladry has been a principal of the Bohemia Lumber Company of Lane County, Oregon, and during this period he has served as state senator, as president of the Willamette Valley Lumbermen's Association, and trustee of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. Mr. Magladry was the first president of the former assoiaction, which was formed in 1928. He served for six consecutive terms in this post. He has been a WCLA trustee for a d.ozen years.

Now 76, Jack Magladry has begun to take it easy on the lumber side, to give, as he says "the young fellows oI fifty a chance." But he is as active as ever in aggressive defense of the American way of life in which he found free opportunity to advance himself.

Jack, as all hands, young and old, call him, learned to run a headrig in his early teens, by working on log carriages and trying his hand at sarving in the smaller Puget Sound mills. Before working in the big Yesler mill, he spent a summer in a bullteam logging camp on the upper Skagit River, with duties that ranged from keeping books to cleaning out a stable that housed 20 head of oxen. His

Fir atuddins he success on the Yesler headrig led to a sawing job that paid more money, in New Westminster, British Colunr bia. Jack held that job down for seven years. He then migrated to Portland, Oregon, and headsawed for the InmanPoulsen mill for three years. He was employed by. a number of other laige lumber companies, up to lX)7, when he went into business for himself. For several years he was general superintendent of the Booth-Kelly operations at Wendling, Oregon.

T";i".i"?,i.Douslcr

The Bohemia Lumber Company was formed in l9l7 by. Mr. Magladry, in partnership with Lon S. Hill. His present partners are W. A. Garoutte, former plant superintendent and La Selle Stervart, former logging superintendent. The company's timber holdings and operations have been organized for continuous production.

Such is the typical American success story of Jack Magladry, Douglas fir lumberman. It is all symbolized in the picture, rvith Jack in his office, the gavel he wielded as president of the Willamette Valley Lumbermen's Association on the table behind him, and the Douglas fir framing lumber he sawed 58 years ago, in his hands. And this is why Mr. Jack Magladry says:

"It's a fine free country. Let's keep it that way, come hell or high rvater.

IUOT TOR YOUR GUSTOMEN!

Repair bills are mighty few and far between for customers who buy building materials the thrifty way.

They don't let first costs blind them to real values. They know that cost-pebyeff of service is the true way to figure building prices. That's whythey choose d,urable Diamond-H Redwood. Your good advice can save a lot of repair bills fot a new customer. Show him how Hammond

Redwood more than pays its way. Show him how longer paint-holding means fewer repaintings. how durability wards ofi decay. how weather-resistance keeps a home in top condition longer.

Show him the thrifty way to buy. You'll earn his gratitude for the repair bills he doesn't get and we'll miss our guess if you aren't send' ing out a lot of bills for new lumber purchases to the friends and neighbors he's sent to you.
