Many forces will be at work during National F'orest Products Week, October L6-22, to focus the public's attention on forest products and the industry throughout the United States and Canada. The lumber dealer can use this to his own merchandising advantage-and, at the same time, add his part to the over-all progiam, by holding an Open llouse during the "week,"
By highlighting his wood products and forest products, he can capitalize on consumer interest now being created by the impact of the National Wood Promotion Program. October, the start of the slow season, is a good time for such extra merchandising effort. F urther-the occasion of National F'orest Products Week is an opportune time to introduce your customers and the public to the latest developments in forest products and modern techniques for wood construction which are designed to capture new business.
It all arlds up to a very favorable cllmate for the oxtra-special effort of a,n Open Housg which will bring customers and profits to the dealer.
An Open House must be something special. It should make use of decorations, placards and displays in such a way that it has a festive air about it. The objectives
-First, to get people to come and be interested! Then to piomote and sell Forest Products; to make new customers and thank old customers; to create good-will for the firm, and emphasize its place of importance in the community.
Open House merchandising brings results. Hundreds of Open House techniques have been developed by retailers with proven success. The suggestions below will present ideas for use, as they fit the circumstances:
PLANNING. Most important. Hold a planning session with your whole staff. fnvite cooperating suppliers. Discuss a wide variety of ideas, select those you will use, assign responsibilities, schedule the preparations,
METIrOD OF INVIATION. Newspaper advertising, radio, TV, direct mail, letters to regular customers and selected prospects.
DECORATIONS. Give it a festive airinside and out. Make use of lively colors in paper streamers, posters, banners.
-Highlight some of the full-color ads of the NWPP from Life J['f.agazine.
-Highlight other attractive wood promotion material.
-Posters can be an important part of your decorations, but carry merchandising messag:es too.
-Make National I'orest Products Week banner for outside display.
A unique cross-country air tour, emphasizing the importance of National Forest Products Week, oct. 16-22, has been planned by The Pacific Lumber Company, largest producer of California redwood lumber products. Carl w. 8ahr, Vice President, Sales, announces that "Palco-Panorama" will consist of a whirlwind two-week flight into ap- proximately a dozen states.
Lumber dealers, builders and architects will be invited to view displays of wood products of today, and possible developments for the future. The flight sched. ule for "Palco-Panorama" will be from September 25 to october 8.
Pacific's high-speed Super Ventura airplane will carry portable dis- plays with wood sam- ples representing more than a hundred PALCo specialties in redwood, DouSlas fir, and plywood, developed through PALC0 research to achieve fuller utilization of its
timber crops, and to Drovide dealers with a diversified line of spe- cialty forest products. Photos and informational material will be made available to members of the lumber industry at each stop, to provide localized publicity on
-Employes should wear distinctive apparel or headgear for the occasion, Checkered shirts, logger's hard hats, what-haveyou, something unusual or festive.
THEME. It may be desirable to select a theme, like the suggested "F'orest Products Fair," Decorations, costumes and all events can tie-in to this theme.
EXHIBITS AND DISPLAYS. Don't attempt to feature all of your line of forest products. Select a few items that are most appealing, most modern, and that you are most interested in pushing. Highlight these in attractive treatment. Where possible, get your supplier to assist in preparing the displays. Posslble displays lnclude:
-Eye-catching display of wood-paneling enhanced by adding an attractive painting

Latest step in the construction program of Oliver J. Olson & Co. was recently completed at San Diego, where the steamer Mary Olson, owned and operated by the Olson firm as a coastwise lumber carrier for the past twelve years, was converted to become their fourth barge currently in service.
Four months of work on superstructure and general reconditioning by the San Diego Marine Construction Co. iricluded three mounted cranes, bulk self-discharging elevators, large hatch accesses to below-decks cargo holds, and several engineering improvements.
Greater Capacity
With a capacity in excess of 250,000 cubic feet and 6,000 tons dead weight, the Mary Olson brings greater versatility to the Olson lineup of six vessels, and is ready to haul various classes of dry and liquid cargo as well as the coastwise lumber shipments in which Olson has long been the leading carrier.
"The conversion of this vessel," says E. Whitney Olson, president of the firm, "is in line with changing conditions in the coastwise trade and our desire to keep in service vessels capable of superior capacity and equipped with time-saving and money-saving f eatures."
Construction Program Progresses
Olson pointed to the company's construction progress in the past two years with the charter of deck barge Pacific No. 2 and the all-new construction, in Texas, of two of the
largest barges ever built in the United States, namely the Forest and the Florence. Both of these have 250,000 cubic feet of dry cargo space below-deck (equal to 133 boxcars of plywood) and total dead weight of 8,000 tons, thus bring-ing new economies to the business of shipping plywood, pulp and particle board.
Originally named the Oduna, she ran to Alaska in the service of the Alaska Steamship Co. Subsequently, she was part of the lend-lease program during World War II and was operated by the Soviets under the name of Visheva. When they returned her to the United States, Oliver J. Olson & Co. purchased the steamer from the Maritime Commission and renamed her the Mary Olson.
Pioneers, Since 1891
Oliver J. Olson & Co., established in the schooner days of 1891, today owns and operates four barges and two steamers as well as the million-dollar Olson Terminal at Fields Landing on Humboldt Bay, an independent opera-
tion serving lumbermen with milling, planing, assembling and shipping facilities.
The firmts Northern California home office is in San Mateo, with other Olson offices in Portland, Coos Bay, Eureka and Long Beach.

A brainy American, writing in 1895 about the economic and financial greatness of this country said: "In 1893 we used three billion dollars worth of products, things manufactured and grown, and we sent to other countries 654
million dollars worth." And then he added: "These vast sums are almost inconceivable." Those "vast sums" would be penny ante these days, wouldn't they?
In a newspaper column written by Malcolm W. Bingay, he tells a lot of interesting things about the finances of many of our past Presidents of the United States. We had some who were rich, others who were "well-fixed," and others who were poor. Quite a number of them were born poor, but got rich through their own efforts.
One of the poorest ot ifr"rJ ail in his early life, Herbert lloover, became the richest man- to ever hold the Presidency, though he is one of the most generous of men.

During the week of July 25, more than 1,000 customers and friends in the South Bay area visited the new 16,000square foot warehouse facility recently completed by the United States Plywood Corporation to service the beach cities from 1468 West 12th Street, Long Beach, California. Tuesday, July 26, was Retail Dealers nite and approximately 75 dealers throughout the district, and their wives, turned out to visit Manager Ray Kelley and his staff. Refreshments were served, movies were shown, and tours of the plant were conducted during the social evening hours.
Other "special" nights of the Grand Opening week were the Open llouse for Industrial firms, 7:00-9:30 p.m., Wednesday, July27, and for Architectural firms, 5:00-7:00 p.m., Thursday, July 28.
This is the 27th new USP warehouse completed in the
Western region since the close of World War II, it was said.
Young Ray Kelley has been assigned the Long Beach territory for more than a year, bringing the project to conclusion. He started his plywood career with the firm eight years ago on the order desk in San Diego. His progress has been steady and. for the past five years, he has handled line sales and ad-i.tistrative details 6oth in San Diego and Los Angeles.
During this special opening, Irl Matheny, Sales Promotion manager, Western division, assisted the permanent staff in hosting the many visitors to the plant. Matheny is headquartered in San Francisco and covers the 11 western states.

Lumberyards come in all shapes and sizes-and the Bruce Bauer Lumber Company in San Carlos is certainly no exception. The "longest arrd skinniest" lumberyard in that neck of the woods, the yard stretches some 1,000 feet along'busy El Camino Real, its backside a scant 50 to 60 feet right up against the S. P. main line. With valuable frontage like this, it's only natural that the
walk-in "weekend carpenter" trade, although the finn still enjoys a solid volume from the area's smaller custotn builders and remodeling experts. Latest stage in the company's expansion program was a complete remodeling and three-day (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) grand opening celebration, April 29,30, and May 1.
All new fixtures (Daley) were installed by Garehime Corporation, of San Francisco, who also coordinated the grand opening show. Garehime, incidentally, has included Sunday in .all of its grand-opening productions after test runs ln varlous areas proved this day to be the best of allattendance-wise and dollar volume-wise.
For Bauer Lumber Company, the Sunday bit is old stuff. Manager Don Thom, Bob King, Horace Smith, bookkeeper Cathie Sevison and hardware specialist Mildred Fiedler are down at the "shop" every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. and, by 2:30 p.m. closing time, they've more than handled a regular week-day volume !
Let's face it, a successful retail business can remain so only as long as it caters to the needs of the community (unfortunately, there are quite a few who are still trying to make it work the other way).
The Peninsula area, like any other suburban district, is populated by city workers who sing the "commute blues" five (and sometimes six) days each and every week. Weekend do-it-yourself projects around the house have taken on much more meaning than just property improvement and capital appreciation. Call it "Weekend Therapy," if you wish, but it's become an increasingly important part of everyday life.
Of course, no dealer wants to become a "7-day-a-week drudge," dispensing raw material "tonic" to hundreds of customers engaged in "Weekend Therapeutics," so days off for the Bauer Lumber staff are taken during the week, and on a rotating schedule so the yard is always adequately staffed.
In addition, extra weekend help is hired as needed from any of the several nearby colleges and universities.
The Bruce Bauer Lumber Company is a two-State operation, with yards at San Carlos, Calif., and Medford, Oregon. The firm is captained by veteran Medford lumberman, Bruce Bauer, who now resides in San Carlos, and his brother, Paul, who manages the company's Medford yard.
Bauer originally entered the retail business in Medfor.l
over 20 years ago, expanding the operation with the San Carlos yard during 1945. The Medford yard, like the San Carlos operation, is up-to-date in every respect, having unclergone a complete rebuilding following a fire during late 1958.
And apparently Oregonians differ little from California's comnruting millions, for that yard, too, is a highly successful, seven-day-a-r,r'eek operation ! --National

The plywood prefinish industry recently welcomed a new member to its rapidly expanding field. The firm, Custom Finishes of California, is at the Port of Stockton-strategically located to service the needs of both importers and domestic producers. Natural finishes featuring synthetic resins with standard color tints are provided on any specie of wood, hardwood or softwood.
According to Chester Ihinger, operating manager, Custom Finishes is not actually a manufacturing plant. Its operation is best explainecl as being a service organization which, upon specific assignments, accepts delivery of plywood and, in its completely automatic, wholly conveyorized operation, processes tl-re panels according to desired soecifications.
Customer's orders may include sanding, filling, sealing, V-grooving and any number of finish coats desired. The filling and sealing will usually be accompanied by standard tints according to species run. Top coats are natural clear, adding lustre, "build," hardness and durability to the final finish.
Three grades of finisl-res are available :
Custom Surface involves the application of a filler-sealer tinted resin of low-solids content. Deluxe Custom Surface has an added coat of clear low-solids resin. Custom Coat has yet another clear, high-solids resin plus an extra pre-

Production capacity on one shift has been at the rate of 60,000 square feet of f" 4x8 panels or, in the case of lf" door skins, up to 110,000 square feet.
The new dock-side firm occupies approximately 30,000 square feet of processing and storage area within the inland Port's sprawling 257-acre industrial tract. Ample space is allocated for in-transit storage of imported materials, allowing an importer to store revolving stocks of unfinished plywood-then ordering the processing as they receive V-grooving or finishing specifications from their customers. Custom Finishes is equipped to handle both local and OCP shipments.

Price-cutting is the very lowest form of salesmanship. When a salesman has to resort to cutting the price in order to make the sale, he has played his last trump card. A salesman who can secure business only by cutting the price is a liability and an expense to any firm.

The office boy can sell merchandise at cost, or less. It takes a real salesman to sell goods at a fair margin of profit in spite of competition.
, In the language of the golfer who is trying for a long drive: "Don't PRESS or you'll dub the shot."
Don't get too anxious to sell. Talk about the things that should make the other fellow interested in buying; let him see where the purchase will be of benefit to him.
A good golfer, when putting, hits the ball straight, and just hard enough to reach the hole. A good salesman makes his talk straight, and just long enough to land the order. Too many salesman are too much afraid of, and too much interested in, their competitors. The salesman who gives his entire interest to his prospect, and his proposition, gets the business most satisfactorily.

The never-ending problems of credit for lumber, allied industries and the retailer were discussed by a panel of prominent members of the Building Material Dealers Credit Association at the recent meeting of the Wholesale Lumbermen's Association of Southern California.
Headed by BMDCA President George Martin, credit manager of Consolidated Rock Products Company, Los Angeles, the panel sought to bring the wholesalers an insight into the problems of the entire industry with regard to credit.
"Not only on the wholesale level is credit a distinct problem," said Martin, "but on the retail level it is the paramount problem." Martin continued by saying that the need for credit reporting is, and has been, a tremendous tool. He also stated that the increase in the number of marginal accounts in recent months is a problem that now must be looked at with an extremelv watchful eve.
Bob Reed, credit manager with Bari Lumber Company, Santa Ana, brought out the fact that "there seems to be a common misconception that each segment of the lumber trade feels that he is on a small (slim) margin and that everyone else is making all of the money. In some instances," Reed continued, "this appears to be a factor in the slowing down of payments."
Other Danel members. which included BMDCA Asst. Secretary'W. R. "Bill" Loper and E. S. McFarland, stated that the rate of bankruptcy and the amount of credit due involved has increased a great deal in the Southern California area in past months.
The first six months of 1959 saw 163 bankrupt firms with assets over $4 million and liabilities of over $8 million. llowever, in the first six months of this year the number of bankrupt firms increased to 707, with assets of $5 million and liabilities exceeding $21 million.
Wholesale Lumbermen's President Jim Newquist stated that other credit people will be called upon in future meetings to give their views on this vital subject.

A four-page tabloid size consumer circular has been desigrred for use by lurnber yards and building material supply stores. This direct-mail flyer is designed in four colors, features the theme "l'all Blockbuster Sale," and contains merchandise for the hobbyist, home repairs and some lawn care items. Most of the merchandise is "sale-priced" to help lumber yards compete with chain store and discount house competition. Along with the circular there is available a colorful store trim kit and newspaper advertising mats.
A new building material with built-in sales appeal and sharp newness is being made available nationwide to the building industry. It is a beautiful new hardwood paneling of natural Pecan, latest of the warmly luxurious woods from GeorgiaPacific Corp., equally at home for commercial installations where beauty and long life are required.
In addition to native toug'hness, often compared to hard maple and actually related botanically to walnut, new G-P Pecan paneling has a baked-on "Family-Proof" triple coating. The heartwood of native Pecan, from which the G-P premium veneers are sliced, is a warrn reddish brown with beautiful darker shades of brown for an entirely new concept of interior beauty, G-P hardwood experts point out.
The G-P panels are light in weight, dimensionally stable and have a baked-on factory finish. With vertical V-grooves to give a random plank effect, they are 4 feet wide and either 7, 8, 9 or 10 feet long. All panels are lifetime-guaranteed by G-P. For additional information on this unusual new hardwood paneling, plus many other ideas in flne woods, write Georgla-Paclffc Corp., Equitable Butliltng, Portland 4, Oregon.

According to the association, the brochure should make an excellent sales tool for dealers selling builders.
The product outlined is l%-inch fir plywood with specially engineered tongue-andgroove joints. It makes possible a floor framing scheme with g'irders on four-foot centers. The tongue-and-grooved joint eliminates the need for blocking at panel edges and the pl;rwood panel functions as a onelayer combination subfloor and underlayment.
Sample copies are available without charge. In quantity they are two cents each or $1.75 per hundred. Write Douglas I'lr Pl5rwood Associatlon, 1119 '(A" Stroet, Tacoma 2, Washington.

were developed to provide the woodworking trades in g:eneral with an additional working tool for meeting specialized conditiong arising in product manufacture. On certain types of applications, standard grade cabinet papers have a tendency to load prematurely from a build-up of flne, soft wood particles or lacquer sealers. The stearate reduces adhesion between these particles, resulting in the formation of minute "spheres" that are periodically torn loose from between the grains when sanding. This leaves the grain edg:es exposed to continue their cutting action.

Unitized packages of plywood with a uniform number of pieces for each thickness are now being assembled by four Pacific Northwest sheathing mills represented by Vancouver Plywood Co., announces David Difford, sales manager.
The mills supplying unitized bundles are Hub City Plywood Corp., Three Sisters Plywood, Inc., White City Plywood Co. and Port Plywood Company.
Each unit is pre-counted so that inventory can be easily controlled, according to Difford. Units are easier to handle, both in and out of the warehouse and in unloading cars, since they all weigh approximately 24OO pounds, and the units allow for level loading of cars.
Charts showing exact number of pieces per unit, com-

Methods of selling and promoting a new product line of Douglas fir plywood were outlined at a recent meeting of executives arrd sales members of The Pacific Lumber Company, a leading producer of California redwood products, in San Francisco.
Carl W. Bahr, vice-president-sales, stated that PalcoPly, the new brand name for the Palco ply'ivood products, will enable Pacific to broaden its service of mixed-car specialties for the lumber trade. Representatives of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association held an all-day training conference attended by top executives and members of Pacific's sales and research staffs.
The Pacific Lumber Company recently acquired the plywood manufacturing plant formerly operated by the Hampton Plywood Company as a further step in Pacific's plans for full utilization of its timber stands and wider diversification of its forest products.

The Van-Evan Plywood Company, operating in the state's biggest building, won a testimonial from Montana Governor J. Hugo Aronson at the official opening of its Missoula plant. Aronson was one of several speakers who addressed a dinner for about 75 visitors.
The governor, citing the Treasure State's "vast reservoir of untapped resources," complimented the firm on its extensive use of western larch, a hitherto unimportant species that will account for about 65/o of Van-Evan production.
Visitors from about 30 states were on hand for the twoday open house, which included tours of the mill and logging operations.
The plywood operation is largely automated and geared to a production of about 6 million sq. ft. per month, to be reached by the end of November. The plant is laid out to include an additional lO-foot production unit throughout which will eventually increase production to approximately l0 million sq. ft. per month.
The building itself covers four acres and is the largest single structure in the state. Production, warehouse and shipping platforms-including a railroad siding-all are under one root.
Van-Evan is a joint venture of Evans Products Company of Plymouth, Michigan, and Vancouver, Washington, Plywood Company. Frost Snyder, Van-Ply president, heads the new company and Evans president E. S. Evans, Jr. is executive vice-president. Eugene Maw is vice president and resident general manager. All three spoke at the banquet.
Other speakers included W. E. Difford, executive vicepresident of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, who brought word the mill had successfully completed qualifying runs and was entitled to use DFPA grade-trademarks on its interior production. Van-Evan is the 136th mill to join DFPA, Difford said.
Western larch has been utilized only in small quantities until now. Gluing problems have been overcome through research by the two parent companies and by DFPA. The new commercial standard for softwood plywood, CS 45-60, recognizes western larch as equal in strength to coastal type Douglas Fir. Because small timber is being used, knotholes and imperfections are comparatively small and westerr larch does not contain the pitch pockets found in Douglas fir, which must be patched.
The log yard is capable of handling more than 15 million feet of logs and will support a logging operation that will be curtailed only during the spring breakup. Montanans cheered Maw's announcement that mill payroll alone will be about a million dollars annually, plus logging payroll and other mill purchases.
The plant has its own water supply and can supply all its own power, if necessary.
All logs are steamed 24 hours before peeling and the lathe is equipped with a retractable chuck to make possible utilization of small mountain timber and peeling to smaller diameters. Van-Evan has the only barker, cut-off saw and kick-off operated by one man in the plyr,r'ood industry.

President Ray Benson turned the me_eting.over tosecretary-Treasurer Bob Inglis of Associated Molding Co., Los Angeles, to lead the gen&al discussion on future plans of the association. All members present took part in the lively talks preliminary to action at the general election meeting in June.
The discussion centered around whether to keep the meetings small for kiln operators and technicians -only, or make the activities larger for all-industry participation with some non-technical meetings to be programmed.-

After dinner the meeting was called to order by the president, Ray Benson.
Dr. Robert Cockrell, professor of the School of Forestry at the Universitv of California. Berkeley. was introduced. His subject *"i "Stt.t.tural and Physiial Characteristics of Wood As Related to IJse."
"Out of over 800 soecies of U.S. trees. about 100 are used commercially but leJs than half of theie are employed directly in any quantity by the woodworking industries. To these, however, must be added a goodly number of exotics such as the mahoganies and many hardwoods; hence it is essential that manufacturers be familiar with kinds of woods in conducting their operations. Unlike man-made materials with relatively uniform properties, such as metals and ceramics, wood is a 4atural product with considerable variability, put together by trees to serve their particular purposes. In making use of wood, therefore, it is all the more necessary to understand well all of its properties and something of its natural variability so that difficulties in fabrication and performance will be minimized," the speaker said.
Dr. Cockrell used many slides to illustrate his very informative and interesting talk.

The remanufacturing and drying facilities of the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company were inspected by members of the Central California Dry Kiln Club at their Tanuary 15 meeting. Of particular inteiest were the Laucks riroisture sentry operating on the dry chain and the extent of edge and end gluing used in remanufacturing operations to upgrade final products and to reduce residue. Luncheon was hosted by the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company at Buzz Dyer's.
The business meeting was called to order by President Flavel D. Grubb at l:45 p.m. and staff members of the host company were introduced. President Grubb thanked the company for the luncheon and for the Anderson plant tour.
The annual Western Dry Kiln Clubs meeting was to be held at the Hotel Florence, Missoula, Mont., June 23 and 24, and it was proposed that the CCDKC present a paper on moisture content of dried lumber with particular reference to white fir, as detected by the Laucks moisture sentry, at that time. Harvey Smith and John Dittman (Winton Lumber Company) were to author the presentation. Mr. Smith outlined the project to the meeting and requested the assistance of those companies that are using Laucks sentires to carry out specific tests at their own plants in order that this material could be included with the Winton Lumber Company study. Plans were made to put the extended study into effect.

For the technical session, President Grubb introduced Ed Knight of the Western Pine Association, whose topic was "Brown Stairl Control in Sugar Pine." He reported that studies on brown stain in sugar pine commenced some 20 years ago when a group of kiln men met and considered means to overcome the problem. Several years later, Carl Rasmussen found that the period of log storage was an important factor causing stain. Dr. Stout subsequently found in a study at Collins Pine (Chester, California) that the time boards are held between sawing and drying was of more importance. Even a holding period of two days was sufficient to cause substantial stain. Dr. Stutz, in a study on mill-run material on all types of logs at Woodleaf, showed that logs opened to the air in the woods or storage caused stain irrespective of subsequent care in handling.
Other points of interest mentiontd by Mr. Knight were that yard-dried lumber (not dipped) did not appear to stain as badly as kiln-dried lumber. Also, in at least one
for control of stain, there have been some instances of ill effects on workers, par,ticularly headaches; but these have been in enclosed situations where ventilation is poor. Some workers are also sensitive to pentachlorophenol, but no serious problems appear to have yet arisen with respect to toxicity.
In the discussion period which followed, several members indicated that dip trqatments were successful in their operations and that drying times were being reduced as schedules were stiffened up.
Claude Parker, plant superintendent of Ralph L. Smitl-r Lumber Company, said that ill effects to operators was causing them concern. Particular people affected were those on the green chain, and, at one stage, twelve men had had medical attention. Plant safety inspectors were, in general, suspicious of the process and tended to back operators' complaints. A very real problem exists, in his opinion, and prevents universal adoption of the process.
There was some discussion on preventative measures, which included adequate ventilation and supply of waterproof protective aprons, trousers, and gloves for workers. It was pointed out that, in hot climates, men would not or could not wear protective clothing.
President Grubb thanked Mr. Knight for a very informative presentation and the meeting adjourned at 3:37 p.m.

He wasn't disturbed when at dinner he sat. Devouring a roast or a pie, To think it was lacking in granular fat, Or a couple of vitamins shy.

Lest digestion be hurt by some fancy dessert, And he lived over nine-hundred years.

A traveler in the Ozarks stopped for a drink at a wayside bar, and a one-gallus mountaineer sitting there soon asked him some questions including where he was from. When the traveler said that he was from Brazoria County, Texas, the hillbilly got right interested.
"Mister,i' he said, "I'm from Brazoria County myself. Born and raised there. Got a brother there named Jim Jenkins. Know him?"
The traveler said he did.
"Well," said the one-gallus fellow, "when you get back there tell him you saw his brother Sid, and tell him I'm a-doin' mighty porely. Tell him my farm is mortgaged and I can't pay the interest; the cotton is all et up by weevils this fall, my chickens took up with some new kind of disease and died, and I don't believe I'll be able to send the kids to school this winter lessen I get some he'p. So you tell Jim if ever he is goin' to he'p me, now is the time."
The stranger was sympathetic at so much hard luck and
invited the fellow to have a drink. He accepted. Took corn whiskey. Took a second one without being invited. A big one. He wiped his mouth on his sleeve, and said:
"So you know my brother Jim out in Texas, eh?" The traveler again said he did. The one-gallus man said:
"Well, when you get back there and see him, tell him things are getting a whole lot better with me; a mighty lot better."
An hour later the stranger came back that way and the one-gallus man was coming out of the gin-mill, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand. He said:
"Aren't you the feller that knows my brother Jim?"
The stranger again said he was. So the hillbilly said:
"Look, friend, when you get back to Texas and see Jim, tell him everything is fine up here. Yes, sir, tell him I'm a-doin' fine. Tell him if he ever needs he'p, it don't make no difference how much, all he's got to do is call on me."

It's about time that the lumber industry take a few minutes out, climb to the top of a tall Douglas fir, and survey the scene below. What presents itself there will encourage several well-deserved (and self-administered) pats on the back.
It must have been a lumberman who said, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Because among the scores of building materials and products used in the home, none has had as many imitators as wood. This imitation (and perhaps emulation) goes in two directions-imitation of wood's function and imitation of wood's appearance. We speak here of the latter.
Thumbing through any builder's magazine or manufacturer's catalog'ue, one is bound to trnd several listings of products that supposedly look like wood, or carry "a beautiful, wood-like vertical grain," or "challenge the user to tell the difference between our product and actual, natural wood."
Working from the floor up, we flnd vinyl and€ork tile with wood grain, linoleum im-
West Coast Lumberrnen's Association
printed with simulated hardwood flooring strips (pegged, yet!) and asbestos tile squares made to look like wood blocks.
Exterior siding and interior paneling are ofrered in many patterns of wood grain, some even having a factory-made texture such as is supposedly found in rustic wood siding. Through the use of photography, laminated plastic manufaeturers have come out with counter tops and work space areas with countless varieties and colors of wood grain.
And. of course. there is now adhesivebacked plastic sheeting which, it is stated, will stick to almost anything and give it the appearance of wood.
On the roof, composition and aluminum shingles have been manufactured which, the manufacturers claim, give the roof the
appearance of actual shake shingles, both to the eye and to the touch.
Vlrh.at has brought about thls lnflux of non-wood materlal wlth a so-called wood appearance? Why are these people trytng to copy tur the fectory that whlch ln fact can only be aohieved ln the forest? The reason, pure and slmple, ls that they are tr5rlng to give thelr customers what they wantwood.
Throughout history, sought-after items have always had several common qualities -they are not man-made, they contain inherent beauty and, most important, they are rare. Here. then, is the crux of the matter, the reason behind the lumber industry's good fortune.
Wood is not rare, because it is absolutely the only building material with the power of reproduction. Yet, it is still sought after because of its natural source and its irrefutable beauty and warmth.
The people who try to imitate wood are not pirates or plagiarists. They are, however, opportunists who know a good thing when they see it, and do their best to capitalize on it. F or this no one can blame them, least of all the lumber industry. Call it indirect advertising, if you will, serving to keep wood and its inflnite number of uses in the public mind.
Nevertheless, the lumber industrY must not allow ltself to become complacent. \ile are always strlvlng to make our product better, through the use of new finlshes, new uses, boliler deslgn and the exclting a,nd hardlY touched field of thnber fabrlcation.
Competing building material manufacturers are also carrying on a tremendous prog:ram of research and development, but bear this in mind: in many instances this research is being done with the hope that their product will look more like wood!
No thing is as true as the real thing. A laminated plastic table top may look like wood, but it feels like glass. An aluminumshingled roof may feel like wood, but it looks like only one thing-an aluminumshingled roof.
In the future, some manufacturer no doubt will come up with a solution which he thinks has a cedar odor and will impregrrate it in plaster-walled closets.
In any case, it should be pointed out to the consumer that if he wants something that looks, feels and acts like wood, and if he is not willing to settle for anything else, he definitely is not going to find it in imitation or substitute material. He must use wood, and that is the only course he has to follow.
It is up to the lumber industry and all who are a part of it to keep him on that course.

I. W. Copeland Yards, Inc., of Portland, Oregon, increased its rank as one of the nation's largest operators of lumber and building supply stores with the purchase of five retail lumberyards in Washington from the White River Lumber Company of Seattle. No price was stated. The five yards boost Copeland's total to 57, located in Oregon, Washin!ton, Nevada and California.
The new acqdisitions are located at Prosser, Pasco, Toppenish, Mabton and Wapato, it is announced by J. W. Copeland, president and general manager. He said no change in management of the yards is planned.
The Washington yards came under Copeland ownership when they were reopened after the long Labor Duy weekend. The yards eventually will be painted in the familiar Copeland colors of orange and black, with the big Black Cat of HooHoo insignia prominently displayed.
The White River Lumber Company yards are wellestablished and have been in business many years.
Negotiations for the purchase were completed and signed in Seattle. United Pacific Corporation, Seattle, and its investment affiliate, Pacific Northwest Co., with Harold W. Cameron in charge, represented the sellers. Mr. Copeland signed for his company and was represented by Robert S. Miller, Portland attorney.
Some yards of the Copeland company of 57 branches extend as far south as the Imperial Valley in Southern California. The first J. W. Copeland yard was established in Portland more than 40 years ago.
The 139th Monthly Dubs Tournament was held at the Meadow Club in Fairfax, August 19, with more than 40 lumbermen golfers participating in the tourney.
The Meadow Club, incidentally, is the birthplace of the Dubs organization, the first organizational tournament being played there on February 18, 1948, mainly through the efforts and enthusiasm of Dave Davis, who still sponsors the annual Meadow Club get-together. Officers for the first year of Dubs operations (1948-49) included: Dave Davis, president; Ernie Bacon, vice-president; Jim Moore, secretary ; Leo Cheim, Sr., treasurer; and Art Evans, sergeant-at-arms.
Now, 139 monthly tournaments later and still gojng strong, Dubs, Ltd., toured the "home" course on August 19 with the results somewhat as follows :
First flight, Bob Miller (80-8), Dave Davis (82-9) and Doc White (85-11). Second flight, Tom Jacobsen (93-20), Ralph Bowman and Wendell Paquette tied for second position (86-12 and9I-I7), and Hollis Jones (90-15).
In the third flight it was John Polach on top (97-25), .followed by Ev Lewis and Ed French in a deadheat (99-23 and 104-28). Fourth flight honors went to Seth Butler (126-43), while son Jack, down from Portland on vacation, copped the guest flight honors with a 102-23 scorecard.
A special award went to TPL western sales chief, Harry Hoodjwho was presented with a grand prize of.30c to apply toward the purchase of a GOOD golf ball after scoring high net for the day.
