ASS[!RTMEIIT [lF STIIOK

The extent of our mill operations on Puget Sound enables us to accept a wide variety of business. A dealer specializing on NETTLETON stock is assured of a DEPENDABLE grade to suit the requirements of his trade.

And Yet They Have Grown Gre.at

Bg TACK DIONNE

Sometimes we encounter cases of people that make a great success of business without using any of the things that seem to be essential to business success in this day and generation, and we are forced to wonder why.

For instance. The other day I was tdking to a lumberman friend of mine, and he told me the facts and showed me a letter that proved the above statement, with interest. Twenty years ago this fall this lumberman, then a very young man, bought his first life insurance policy. It was a twenty year pay policy, for two thousand dollars. He has kept up his paSrments regularly, and kept this small first policy of his ir full force and effect. The twenty years are now up.

But get this: during the twenty years that have elapsed since he took out that policy, this man has bought about one hundred thousand dollars worth of life insura.ce. From the time he bought that first two thousand dollar policy from that particular concern, no representative of that company has ever called on him. No sdesman has ever suggested that they would like to sell him some more. But his office has been thronged by salesmen for other firms, and the result is that whenever he bought insurance, he bought other lines. Today he still holds just that one two thousand dollar policy from this first concern he patronized. All this in spite of the fact that this first concern have had an office in his city thrirugh all the twenty years.

The other day, when his twenty year time was about to expire, he got a letter from the office of that insurance company in his to\nn. He opened it feeling that there would probably be a little greeting, or friendly remark of some kind from a twenty year old friend.

Instead, here is the letter he got. I copied it myself. It reads: "Dear Sir:- Your policy expires September l9th. If you could conveniently drop in to the office, bring the policy and all reciepts with you, we will explain to you the difrerent options in the policy. If not convenient to come to the office, please advise us and we will have someone drop in to see you. Yours Truly, Manager."

Think of that for a letter, under such conditions- Here is "Mr. Pip" intensifiedThe buyer bought the first policy on his own volition, was never cdled on or solicited again, they lost the chance to sell him a hundred thousand dollars worth of insurance, and then they send him such a letter at the end of twenty years.

AND YET THAT INSURANCE FIRM IS ONE OF THE THREE BIGGEST IN THE WORLD !

How do you explain it?

Tacoma Planing Mills Building Los Angeles Warehouse

Mr. Lea Bronson, President of the Tacoma Planing l\lills Inc.. of Tacoma. has been in Southern California for the past two weeks, and has just announced the very interesting fact that his company has broken ground for a large brick and concrete warehouse, on East 62nd Street, Los Angeles.

The nerv building rvill be used as a distributing lvarehouse, installed for the convenience of dealers stocking less than car-load lots of finish and mouldings, and particularly for the dealers to fill in their shorts. "Tacoma Finish," a registered trade-marked name, has become known as a brand among' the highest for grade that is manufactured. The Tacoma Planing Mills officials are proud of the large demand that is made for their product, and are expending a considerable amount of money in building this new warehouse, to give the untimate in service, on their products.

They will stock all stock patterns and sizes of Fir finish, and mouldings, making deliveries from the rvarehouse by truck only. The building rvill give them in the neighborhood of ten thousand square feet of storage space, and is being arranged so that the stocks can be properly stored and protected. They rvill serve all of Southern California from this unit.

Mr. F. A. Castetter, President of the Oregon Lumber Agency, which company has had the exclusive sale in California for the Tacoma Planing l\{ills stocks, rvill act as General Manager of their distributing rvarehouse, moving his offices to the nerv location from the Central Building. Mr. Castetter has explained that this nerv move does

not afiect the activities of the Oregon Lumber Agency, rvith their other accounts.

The nerv building is located at 783-791 East 62nd Street, in a fast grorving industrial tract, rvhere they have spur tracks etc. They expect to be occupying the building not later than October l5th, and will make an announcement in this journal on that date.

IlIr,. Bronson is President of the Tacoma Planing Mills, and Mr. K. E. Emerson is Secretary Treasurer.

Every bundle of Tacoma Finish is trade-marked, with the registered "Tacoma Finish" mark, in the oval lines, as it appears in their advertisements. l\{r. Bronson is an advocate of trademarking in the lumber business, and points to the success that has been made by other large institutions, in placing their name on lumber manufactured by them.

Results of Associated Group Advertising

From an address by Mr. George J. Osgood, before the West Coast Lumbermen's Association meeting at Tacoma Associations have been almost universally successful in their group advertising experiments. In l9O2 there were 17,000,000 barrels of cement produced in the United States. In 1916 the cement association began advertising. It ap- proplsJqq$1q,000 for_that year. In 1923 the cement output was 137,00O,000 barrels and the advertising fund was $400,- 000. In 1919 manufacturers of floor and i'all tile starled a modest a$v9r1i119^camqaign. In 1923, their appropriation only totaled $17,000, and still their sales increijed "lZS oer cent over 1919. The Indiana Limestone euarrymen's Asiociation sleirl^$9,000 -on _advertising in 'igtZ i last year it spent $200,000 on publicity. The use of common biick up to 1919 had not kept pace with the growth of building iir the. country. It was thought that brick was an e*perriiloe building material and that -brick builclinss were damp. The Brick Llanufacturers'Association starte? on a ca*paign of publicity which, according to its secretary, has' bein a tremendous success. One eastern city, which before the war built^13 per cent of its new buildings from brick, has since 1919 and up to 1923 built 35 pei cent of its new buildings from brick. This city is in a section covered actively by the advertising campaign of the brick assocratl0n.

These facts demonstrate the results of advertisine. but there are things to do before an advertising campaiin be_

Many of the secrets of the retail lumber business werc disclosed recently to the Rotarians by one of the m€mbers of the club. C. W. Pinkerton. of the Whittier Lumber companv. His recital of the joys and tribulations of the retail lumber dealer rvas sanctioned and approved by his competitor, C. C.

GETTING OUT A PAPER

Getting out a paper is no picnic.

If we print jokes, people say we are silly.

ff we don't, they say we are too serious.

If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety. , If we publish things from other papers, we are too lazy to write.

If we are rustling news, we are not attending to the business of our own department.

If we don't print contributions, we don't show proper appreciation.

If we do print them, the paper is filled with junk

Like as not some fellow will say we swiped this from an exchange.

So we did.

GO OR STAY

The Little Road says, Go, The Little House says, Stay; And oh, it's bonny here at home, But I must go auray.

The Little Road, like me, Would seek and turn and know; And forth I must to learn the things The Little Road would show.

And go I must, my dears, And journey while f may, Though heart be sore for the Little House That had no word but Stay.

Maybe, no other way Your child could ever know

Why a Little House would have you stay, When a Little Road says, Go.

-By Josephine Preston Peabody.

MY MENTAL ATTITUDE

I find that the way I am treated in the days work, depends upon the state of mind I bring into it.

If I enter a circle of men whom I take to be superior to me, f am fikely to be snubbed.

If I impute to them the feeling that I am inferior, f will not fail to be inferior.

If I am self-confident, I awaken confidence.

If f cringe, I make others want to step on me.

If I am cheerful, cheerfulness is handed me by others.Crane.

BUSINESS HAS CHANGED

Not so long ago it was the thing for "business man" to mix white sand wirth the sugar, dope kidney and liver medicine, and generally take advantage of every business deal, salving their consciences on Sunday with the thought that "Business is businesst" Today the man that takes unfair advantage of another in business is a fool."-(San Diego Rotary Club.)

"THE COLONELS LADY AND JUDY O'GRADY" fs'nt it strangc that Princes and Kings, And Clowns that caper in sawdust rings, And common folks like you and me, Are builders for all eternity? To each is given a bag of tools A shapeless mass and a book of rules; And each must make, e'er life is flown, A stumbling block or a stepping stone. (Unknown.)

"I bring to this Annual Meeting greetings from the Hoo-EIoo -of California, the 'Land of the Lemon and the Home of the Prune.' The golden chain of friendship uhites us in a common loyalty to this order' A few months ago the Hoo-Hoo Club of San Francisco, which bears with piide the mystic No. 9, offered a prize to the Club that would show the greatest gain in attendance for a two months' period. Our purpose was to stimulate mutual interest between the Clubs in our widely scattered domain and to demonstrate the common Purposes and aspirations that bind us together

For various ieasons, the original terms of the contest could hot be carried out fully. But ougrommittee {ound

HOO-HOO CLUB NO. 2

The Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club met at their regular weekly luncheon, at the Los, Angeles Athletic Clu6, on September 12th. Fifty-eight of the fellows responded to the gavel, in the hands of the retiring president, Herman Rosenberg, who immediately introduced the nbw president, Phil B. Hart. He was given the 'Nine,' and responded _with -a very short acceptancc speech, thanking the members for the honor of being elected.

Frank Curran was received, on his introduction as the new Snark, with a large amount of enthusiasm. He made a splendid add,ress, telling the boys his aims while in office, and askin-g for their whole hearted support, during his term of office. He paid Hoo-Hoo a high-compliment in his remarks on what benefits he had received fiom his membership.

_ The President explained that it was necessary for the Club to take forma[ action in the formation of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 2, in adopting a set of by-laws, and in deciding the manner of collecting and the amount of dues that would be assessed. After much discussion on this, it was decided that the Club's affairs would be financed in the same manner as last year, that of voluntary subscription to the Club treasury, and the Secretary was instructed to mail notices to that effect.

It was decided that the byJaws as suggested by .the national office at St. T,ouis, would be adopted, wittr- such modifications as agreed upon by the Boaid of Directors. A great number of old timers were in attendance at this meeting, and_the President thanked them, and every- orre else for making this one of the largest meetings o{ the year.

Bill Larvrence introduced Mr. Herb Stone of the Building Material Dealers Cred'it Association, f-os_ -A18eles, wfio spoke on the proposed fight to abolish the Mechanics Lien Law. He eiplained the functions of the law, how it had been created, and told of its absolute necessity to the lumberman. He stated that the organization that had been formed to combat the present legislation, had been disbanded, after a few meetings, and that while the danger from this sollrce was gone, that it behooved all building material men to keep their ears open, account of there "being enemies to the present law."

A Pleasing Friendly Letter

Originalitf is refreshing. ancl this little poern. or prosepoem, or rvhater-er is the proper name for it, is rvhat could easily be cailed a very dclightful, friendly approach.

The originator is A. S. McKinne y, a very popular menrber of the sales staff of the California & Oregon Lumber Company, at their San Francisco offices.

Lumber Dealers Are Fast Becoming Modern Building Material Merchants

By Floyd A. Dernicr

I have just completed a trip which covered the greater part of the state and the wonderful transformation that is taking place in California shows conclusively the progressive spirit of California's Home Building exponents, and the earnest desire these men ar€ exercising in serving the building public.

Surely Jack Dionne can well feel proud of the part he and his live-wire bunch who edit the "California Lumber Merchant" have played in preaching the gospel of Modern Merchandising, and the '!i/ay we are conducting business here in the West.

The Modern Merchandising Bug has infected the entire State. Everywhere lumber dealers are tearing down their shacky-unsightly offices and in their places are erecting modern display and service rooms, where home builders are privileged to study and choose the very latest ideas in modern home building plans, all dolled up in colors showing each home in life-like reality, enabling them to know in advance just what every department of the new home will look and be like and what it will cost before construction work is started. As this service is followed up with complete detailed plans, home builders are able to place into the hands of their contractors the home completely built on paper which shows just what they want done and how to do it, thereby eliminating every avenue of guess work and costly errors. Lumber merchants like this new plan of merchandising because it attracts home builders to them, and the information and service they render produces non-competitive business.

No one thinks of asking the price of boards; as a matter of fact, home builders are not interested in boards. their reouirements call for a completed home-not parts-and here again is -where Service helps to make added profits.

These display rooms are fitted up with built-in features, mill work, sash and doors, screens, panels, paints, hardware and hardwood flooring samples. Just the things ihat make ideal homes attractive and.convenient, and home builders welcome the opportunity of consulting and advising with permanent merchants -whose cbnfdence they. respect and whose judgment they value, and dealers in turn find it easy to sell ideas. It's a languale home builders understand, each prospect has certain requirements to meet in number and

arrangements of rooms. They may or may not have a definite style of architecture in mind-the hand-colored photographs will hdp them to decide, and when they have adopted a plan to meet their needs, their only request is-What will it cost to build that par- ticular home complete. Not a thing is said about lumber prices, because home builders are no more interested in home parts than they are in automobile parts; they are in position to spend a certain amount of money and want to know how much real home value it will buy.

There was a time when contractors were consulted 6rst by home builders. Some of them were competent-many were incompetent and some just fly-by-night, nothing more or less than leachers on home builders and material dealers. It was the red ink on the ledger and poor workmanship on homes that encouraged many dealers to adopt and apply SERVICE. There is nothing about an ordinary contractor's home to instill desires for home ownership, and create demands for materials, while an attractive, convenient, well planned home makes strong appeals. Each of these new satisfied home owners are bold in their praise for the service these modern dealers are rendering. The Home Building Public are, have been, and always will be hungry for practical building information, and dealers have found a ready response to their creative advertising, not only from the public, but from contractors as well. Reliable contractors prefer to buitd from detailed ptans created and developed by others; under this plan they are advised in advance what to 6gure on and just what is wanted, eliminating all misunderstandings, and assuring them a legitimate profit for thelr work. Under old methods of acting.in the capacity of both architect and contractor, building from partialty developed sketches, usually resulted in dissatisfaction, because things were always presenting themselves that were not figured on from the start but which hat to be included in order to satisfy and receive 6nal settlement, which absorbed the greater part if not all of the profit there was in the jobs.

Yes, dealers are finding service and modern merchandising methods to _be the most important department of their business and a pro6t- able one as well; the only rvbnder is that it has not been in piactice always.

Contract Form and Grade-Tally Cards

Prepared by Lumber Standards Cornmittee

Washington, SepL 20.-Progress is being made very rapidly toward the establishment of American Lumber Standards in all branches of the industry

_ An important announcement has just been made by the Central Committee on Lumber Standards in relation t'o tt " use of uniform grade-tally cards.

' Attached herewith is a copy_of the latter ind grade-tally form sent out today by the -Central Commjttee" on Luniber Standards. In addition is copy of contract form for Ietterheads.

Contract Form for Letterheads I

, A. ? result of an inquiry from one of the lumber mahu- facturing associations-foi a suggested form of contract statement for letterheads, to be used by their members. embodying the clause that the lumber iold is graded under 'rules to conform to American Lumber Standa-rds, the Cen- tral Committee has prepared the following statement: Agreements subject to causes beyond our con- trol.

American Lumber Standard Grade-Tally Card

The suggestion has been made to the'Central Committee on Lumber Standards that a form of grade-tally card be prepared and submitted to the interestdd associiticins. for their information and as a suggestioh.

Accordingly a request was made of a number of individual companies and associations for samples of cards now in use. From these was prepared the attaChed sheet, which may _serve as a guide in complying with Sections 55, 56 and 57, of the American Lumber Standards, quoted below:

"55. That cards be placed in cars of lumber at mill of qrigrn, showing piece tally by grades and sizes: Provided, That wholesale dealer, or other buyer or shipper, may, by arrahgement with mill of origin provide for use, for this purpgle,- of_wholesaler's or buyer's or shipper's car card: Provided, That in such case, said wholeiiler, buyer, or shipper whose name appears on card is financially'iesponsible for the correctness of the tally as shown on such car card: And Provided, That this shall not be construed as relieving-the m-anufac.turer from his responsibility, if any, to such'wholesaler, buyer, or shipper.

The Philosophy of Mr. Pip

Comin' events rite often cast their shadders before 'em. Fer some years with me now business, in a certain way, has been piclcin' up an' in culmernation of the forecasted event all my BUSINESS HAS PICKED UP AN' LEFT.

I allows that if if'don't git'to be so we has more lumber yards in this town I ain't figgerin' on havin' the chance t9 figger menny more bills.

I believe in CONSOLERDATIONS, but I don't believe in mixin' lumber an' putty with other kinds of business. Now, as I has no pertickler need for fieauty shops an' millinery stores in town, it would be right pleasin' to me to see them places absortied, in the order named, by laundrys an' feed stores.

Then their customers could git natural color an' healthy exercise on a washboard. They could also learn the cost of the hay used in makin' their fdur season hats.

At present, what ails the lumber business in this town is they ain't ENUFF LUMBER YARDS. I has the dnly lumber yard left here an' I HA.S NO COMPETITION BUT MYSELF.

All the other lumber dealers in town has dosed theirselves with JACK DIONNE'S PEP SERUM. They has taken to them BETTER MERCHANDISIN' METHODLIike a pup takes to pot licker. They is runnin' Department Stores with lumber as a sideJine an' claims to be BUILDIN' MERCHANTS an' SELLS SERVICE AN' QUAI-ITY AN' SATISFACTION. But they ain't hurtin' me none with their PRICE in

figgerin' bills for their prospects-l don't get no chance to figger none.

If all the lumbermen here still done business accordin'to my ideasCarried only lumber an' shingles an' putty-

Didn't give no builder service, or advertise, or deliver_

Didn't extend no credit accommodationsDidn't help CREATE AND CONSTRUCT THE DEMAND FER BUILDINS' an' other uses fer lumber-

An' jest waited fer people to COME AN' BUYThen they might not be enufi lumber business to go all aroundl

Some of the dealers pretty soon. would be lookin' fer different fields that have better pastures an' fresher waters.

Buf-[p1ER AI-L IS DONE AN' SAID i tutespectiv' of conditions, in business it is the survival of the fittest.

An' you can take it from me, I will fit 'em to a standstill whenever I get a chance to figger a billFER I KEEPS THE CHEAPEST LUMBER AT THE CHEAPEST PRICEI

California Pine Selling Strong inTexas Territory-the Reason Why

In the last issue of The California Lumber Merchant facts were given showing that the State of Texas is the biggest consumer of California pine doors, not excepting the State of California itself.

Texas has been using California pine doors for a number of years, and the increase in their consumption in the Lone Star State is therefore not surprising.

But there is a change going on in the Texas territorymeaning Texas and its immediately surrounding territory generally known as the Great Southwestern Empire-that is of probably more importance to the lumber manufacturers of California even than tlre door consumption of that territory, and that is the now heavy shipments into that same territory of California white and sugar pine LUMBER.

Perhaps tl,e following excerpt from an editorial in the September 15th issue of The Gulf Coast Lumberman, pub' lished at Houston, Texas, is the chief explanation of this important development. It is under the heading, "Southern Pine Will Never Be Cheap Again," and reads as follows:

"The other day a big manufacturer of Southern Pine sat in my ofifrce, and we talked of Southern Pine, its present, its future, and its actual prospects. 'Have you figured,' " he asked me, "how much Southern Pine production has cut out and gone for good in the Sotrthwest alone during the past year, and how much more lvill go out in the next

year? And.then he wrote a list of Southern fine mills that have blown their whistle for the last time during the past twelve months. Not small mills-and there were a, number of such that disappeared-but the bigger sort of: mills. There was one that cut 175,000 feet daily; anotherl that cut 300,000 feet daily; another 200,000 feet; anotherl 125,000 feet. These all Louisiana mills that market most ofi their product in Texas, a total of 800,000 feet claily produc-i tion of high grade timber, all Long Leaf mills, gone within trvelve months time. Then he mentioned others that are about to go. One cuts 150,000 feet daily, a Texas mill., Another Texas mill that cuts 100,000 feet daily has notl run for a long time, future indefinite. Another Louisiana mill has four months to run. It cuts 100,000 feet daily.' Two Louisiana mills that cut 175,000 and 200,000 feet daily respectivefy will go out for good in the early spring tof 1925. I have just mentioned those that my friend called attention to. There are probably others in these two states alone."

Texas is to the Southrvestern mills what California is i to the West Coast mills-the most desirable of markets, i and the passing of so rnany big mills in West Louisiana i and Texas means the dropping out of the Texas competitive market, a huge production of very desirable lumber. l

For the past two years the California pine mills-or some of them at least-have been shipping more and more

lumber into Texas. The recession of Southern Pine, and the constantly increased price of that commodity, is the answer, coupled with the constantly increasing production of millwork of many kinds in Texas that has created a much greater demand than was formerly possible for the factory grades of white and sugar pine. This past spring and summer the volume of California white pine going into Texas-and Oklahoma-has increased by leaps and bounds. Most of the wholesalers and commission men in Texas today have secured white and sugar pine selling accounts, and are busily engaged in selling these materials. Some of them have already built up a considerable and steady volume of business.

The biggest volume seller at present is No. 3 Common, which is being used as boards and shiplap both, for sheeting purposes.

While this is their low priced material, yet the California mills have been grasping eagerly at this new market because their problem in the past has been finding a satisfactory market for their low grade goods, which has largely been confined to the box making industry and has taken a very low price range.

Today the Texas territory is buying more California pine by far than ever before, and it would not be at all surprising if that territory proved to be the largest customer in the entire country within another year.

Texas is very prosperous. Last year she made an enormous cotton crop and sold it for a previously unheard-of high price. This year the cotton crop predictions are 4,500,000 bales, and the price is very high. It means a high tide of prosperity. The cotton territories of Texas have been marked as the whitest prosperity. spot in the nation of late, and the publicity has turned the eyes of the country on Texas.

She will have a prosperous fall and winter. To the mills of California this should mean more and better business.

HAS INTERESTING DISPLAY

The Independent Lumber Company, Building Material Merchants at Glendale, with branch yards at Alhambra, Reseda and Tujunga, had a very attractive display of lumber and other materials, at the recent Moon Festival held at Tujunga.

Mr, M. F. Gilmer, manager of the Tujunga yard, in commenting on their booth, said that one of the interesting features about the display was that theirs was one of thl ferv where there was nothing for sale.

They installed a large display of Pabco paints, a line that this company has successfully handled for some time, and they gave considerable attention to their display of plaster wall board. Panels of this material were treated in various manners, some with sanded coats, gravel 6nish, stucco, and others in different kinds and colors of enamel. Their display of built in features was hotable also in the splendid arrangement of sample ironing boards, breakfast nooks, etc.

Mr. Gilmer states that their yard at Reseda intends taking a booth at the festival, that their conclusion is that publicity of this kind brnigs splendid returns.

Down she went to the piano man (who had recently bought a car) and wanted to close the deal. When he wrote out the bill of sale it read, "Eight Hundred and Ninety Dollars."

"Wait a minute," said the wifeof the motor car man "You quoted me $800 on that piano."

"I know" said the piano man, "but that is the F.O.B Factory price," and grinned broadly.

The lady was indignant. She had a right to be. Every sane person has a right to be indignant every time he reads one of these advertisements stating an alleged price, that is not even related to the real price you have to pay to get the article.

There should be a national campaign to stop the foolish and silly campaign of price misinformation that the auto industry uses. It is foolish, sillv, childish, and uhbusinesslike. It assumes that human beings are only half witted to swallow any such bunk.

Suppose other merchants began quoting all their wares in that way. Wouldn't it be a fine situation. And why does it apply to autos more than to anything else?

LOS ANGELES LUMBERMEN'S BASEBALL LEAGUE

Baseball, the greatest American sport, has aroused the interest of the Los Angeles lumbermen with the result that the Lumbermen's League is now going full blast.

The recent victory of the E" J. Stanton team over the Patten arid Davies tiam with a "iore of 13 to 5 shows what the hardwood men can do when they get down to business. The feature of the game was the pitching of R. p. Hughes, credit manager of E. J. Stanton & Son. From the time he stepped on the mound lto the close of the last inning the game was never for a moment in doubt.

At a forthcoming game between the E. J. Stantoh team and the Western Hardwood Lumber Company team, at which the E. J. Stanton team will exhibit their new uniforms for the first time, it is expected to be a real major league event where the hardwood men will do some hard hitting.

The league is composed of the E. K. Wood Lumber Company; Lounsberry & Harris Companies No. 1 and No. 2; E. J. Stanton & Son; Western Hardwood Lumber Co.; Hammond Lumber Company; Woodhead Lumber Company; Patten and Davies Lumber Company I Vernon Lumber Company; Kerckhoff Cuzner Lumber Company.

Making BigHomes Outof Small Ones Novel Publicity of Barr Lumber Co.

We have just received a little advertising booklet issued by a lumber merchant, so interesting. in character that rve believe it rvill be of much interest to the average dealer. Nothing like it has ever been issued by a dealer before. so far as our experience goes,

The booklet is published and distributed to its local trade by the Barr Lumber Company, of Santa Ana' It is titled-"To Her Majesty-The American Houservife"-and contains twelve pages of type and illustrations devoted to shorving horv The Barr Lumber Company- builds and equips very, very small houses that contain a huge amount of aitual home equipment of the special and built-in variety.

The equipment of the small bungalol's of California is ahvays the source of genuine wonder to every visitor, rvho sees them, and this Barr Lumber Company booklet shorvs the details of the equipment of a small house, so as to gire it an amazing lot of actual room.

We are reproducing three of the illustrations shorvn in this little book, since in no other manner than through visualization can this boiling dorvn of space be practically shown,

Here is a home covering: just 613 square feet of ground. The living and dining room are combined, thus giving one room of &cellent proportions rather than two tiny rooms. There is a disappearing bed in the living room.

But it is the kitchen that is the marvel. It is 8 by 12 in , size, yet it contains a most unusual amount of cupboard space, refrigerator, breakfast nook, ironing board, etc., as the illustration shows.

The Barr Lumber Company have fitted up a former office building, next door to their new offrce, and have m.ad9 a very wonderful display house of same. There th.ey display in ictual arrangement several kitchens with a wide variety of space economizing features, and likewise living rogT' dining room and other home equipment, finish, etc. The equipment shown in this little book is only a .part of rvhat they displav to their trade in their special display -house.

Concerning the California Mechanics Lien Law

By Mr. David Woodhead, Los Angeles, before the Millwork Institute of California, at Santa Cruz

I was very much interested in the discussion of the lien law yesterday. i think California has probably the best lien law of iny stat6 in the Union. I have had some experience with the Texas lie-n law and I believe that the material man in Texas, as I knew the lien law many years ago, would be bette-r ofi without than with it. In Californii tirat is nbt the case, and I am free to say as far as I am concerned if the California lien law was abolished tomorrow, if .i could find some one to whom we could sell our little business, they could have it right quick because I know what it means to be without that protection.

On the other hand, there is a little injustice that is sometimes verv trasic indeed in its eftects on some people on account of them nof knoiing the law and its provisions, and those people who sgffer from that l-ack of knowledgi are usually the ones that can least afiord to carry the burden.

I know we havc had some poor people come in our office where we have taken advantage of the tien law and they will have to -pay a bitl twice, and it hal been pretty hard for me always-to-c-ollect itti tutt amount of the claim; and in many instances I did not feel verv well satisfied with mvself in the amount that we did collect.

It hai occurred to me thai when that is presented to the next legislature that quite a nu,mber of- the legislators will be inclined tJcorrect that pirt of our law. The danger is that if it is touched at all, they wilf be ofiering all kind..!- of ihanges and modifi.cations and the first thing we know we will have a number ot Jokers- tn there that will inv*alidate its efficiency. This is of the greatest importance and we should try to keep the law as it is, without any modification whatever.

What can we do then in regard to amending thc lav ia regrrd to the owner not being put on notice? ^ It occurs to DG wc rntg!-t aooiv-to the councils 5f-ttte various cities, or the oayorq end ask if,Jni t" init-ci itii uuitaiog department of- the citv wbco.crcr e oermit is given bv them or issued by them' that a copy- ol trlc raw Itt""id Llli"t o,it to the o*'ner, caliing the attention of the owner i; th; p.";;6"i "r ttt. law and ih. imfiott"oce of the ovrcr rtud-vinc it io as to protect trimsetf against-possible liens' It roold be i"i u.ti.t r"i1liC uuiiaiog depariment to do -that th.o itrold Qp i;; ih;;.il"iiot to f,""-" it'i-p"sed upon him to sqnd it-ct-it ;;"ili b;-f* u-.ttet-ior us to have the risponsibiiltv of scnding oot the law upon the building departments.

PETRIFIED PALMS 3O,OOO YEARS OF AGE IN MOJAVE

The recent discoverv of a petrified forest in the Mojave Desert, 135 miles from Los Angeles, where petrified palTs are found mingled r,vith the fossilized remain^s^^of prehistoric elephant{ estimated to be more than -30,000 years of age, puts a crlmp rn the legend that the first palm trees rv"ere'introduced into California by the Spaniards. Tourists to whom palms are a novelty often ask if these trees are native heri. Usually the aniwer is that they are not and in San Diego a largi tree is pointed out as the first palm that ever giew in ealifornia soil, with the statement that it was planted by one of the Spanish padres.

The Mojave specimens, however, though they.long a-g.o ceased to 6e tre6s or even wood, having turned into solid stone thousands of years ago' furnish irrefutable evidence that the palm tree has been one of the characteristic growths of this State since an age so remote that its history Ean be read onlv in the rocks. That some of the varieties of palms found'in California today are the descendants of the species that flourish here in that dim prehistoric age .".-t' certain for they shorv precisely the same structural features.

One of the most striking resemblances is found in the roots and the arrangemeni of the fibres that characterize palm wood. In thJpetrified specimens the woody fibres have been replaced 6y mineral matter so perfectly that every detail itands out clearly and the fact that these fraginents originally belonged io palm trees is unmistakablE. So far is thi root structure is concerned, many of the specimens appear in the shape of stumps- with.the roots still lmbedded in the material that nourished them and, though both this material and the roots themselves have long"ago turned to stone, these -roots resemble those of the-molern palm so closely that they could never be taken for anything but palm roots.

Otls A. Mercer

Builders of Redondo

Such is the heading over the following item, appearing, with the accompanying picture, in a recent issuc of the Rcdondo "Breeze."

Otis A. Mercer, one of the best known citi2ens of Redondo Beach was born in Illinois. When he was a boy his father taught him the carpentering trade-and hets never been away from lumber since. Small wonder that he is the manager of the big Patten & Davis Lumber Company plant in this city-the real wonder is that he doesn't own the whole shebang by norv, himself !

Mr. Mercer is affiliated with one of the really big companies of the Southwest. The Patten & Davies Company has six offices and yards in Los Angeles alone, with other plants scattered throughout the principal cities of Southern California. The Redondo Beach- plani carries a 10,000,000foot stock of lumber, and handles everj,thing that goes into a home-all kinds of West Coast lumber, redrvoodl Oregon

pine,. etc.; lath, plas_ter, cement, brick, roofing, hardwood floorrng, sash and doors, screens. You canrt name anv_ thing that goes into the construction of a home that this company does not handle.

Mr. Mercer rvas for many years in the lumber business iq-!exa;, and came to the Patten,& Davis company in 1912. Of the entire office force of the big comiany he ranks No. 7 in continuous service.

Mr. Mercer, u'ho has been in Redondo Beach the past four y'ears, is a member of the Chamber of Commer"" lrra former president of that body; is also an Elk and a *irr,- ber of the local Lions Club. -He is always busy, but never too busy to work for Redondo Beach.

UNIQUE "PORTABLE HIGHWAY BEING BUILT OF REDWOOD FOR DEATH VALLEY, ROAD TO BE LIFTED, SHAKEN OUT

The world's first "Portable llighway,', built of Red_ )vood, is norv being constructed urider orders of the Cali_ fornia ryignwlfCommission for use across the shifting sands of Death Valley, according to report received frofr the California Redrvood Associaiion.

For vears highways of various materials have been tried across the waste lands of the desert, but r,r,ithout success. When the heat of the desert sun did not crack the surface, the shifting sands rvould cover the road bed to a gre,art depth over night.

This new "portable" highway is to be five miles in length and constructed of redrvood blocks and timbers. After the pieces have been fashioned they will be taken to the desert and fastened together with huge bolts. The timbers are to be laid flat upon the sand.

On each side of this wooden road-bed are large eye- bolts. When a desert storm covers the planks "*itt " sand blanket a tractor will be sent out. Hooks hanging from a crane are fitted into the eyebolts and a sectioi oI the highway lifted into the air, shaken, clear of sand and a.Sai.n. deposited upon the ground. The entire length of the highway can be gone over in this manner and c-ieared of debris within a ferv hours' time.

Tfre material is being gotten out, cut to dimensions and the necessary holes bored by the Redrvood Manufac- turing Company at its Pittsburg plant.

We've told you how Oak for Superior Brand flooiing is Laboratory tested while it is drying in our kilns. But before it goes into the kilns, it is first air dried about four months. This eliminates saD moisture and insures kiln drying without damage.

Then, by a scientific application of humidity in the kilns.

Is brought to a dried condition where it will neither shrink nor expand after being laid. This is made certain by_allosling .the lumber to iool after leaving the kilns and before it is milled. Thus the actual flooring is machined from stock that has been scientifically prepTred in, the beginning.

Association Acts on Uniust Reiections

As previottsly noted in SERVICE, the last meeting of the Executive Committee took action seeking to protect the membership in the arbitrary rejection of shipments at destination, especially where it appeared the rejection was based solely on a falling market. Through cooperation among' the Association's several offices, in approximately 100 instances the Association has succeeded in persuading customers to receive shipments or unload them subject to official inspection and adjustment where that was necessary. In this respect, there has been excellent cooPeration on the part of retail associations. In some instances, however, bulrers arbitrarily refused to receive shipments, and members were compelled to sell them elsewhere at substantial loss and expense' and it is in this connection that the Executive Committee plans to take action in some individual cases on a basis serving to Protect the membership at large.

Several outstanding cases are being considered and will be selected where the facts are clear and order requirements compliecl rvith, and the actions must necessarily. be restricte<l to instances selected by the Association as suitable for the purpose intended and where Association Counsel assures the legal aspects are clear, and also where the member interested will agree to cooperate by furnishing all required evidence and testimony. It is hoped the offending parties will consent to arbitration but if not, suits will be instituted at the expense of the Association and in either event, the facts will be published.
