Flat Surfaccr Hardwood Tdn Sandd 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.
