BEN S. WOODHEAD VISITS CALIFORNIA

A distinguished recent lumber visitor in California was Ben S. Woodhead, of Beaumont, Texas, president of The Beaumont Lumber Company. Mr. Woodhead visited both San Francisco and Los Angeles, on his way home from the Pacific North*est.

He states that he is on his way back to Beaumont to begin actively selling Pacific Coast woods in the Texas territory, where, up to this time, he has,always specialized in Southern woods. He made excellent arrangements for a lumber supply while on the coast.

Mr. Woodhead is a nationally known wholesaler, having served the American Wholesale Association as president, and being now vice-president of the National-American. At home he is president of the Rotary Club and president of the Country Club. He is a brother of David Woodhead of Los Angeles.' iAnd besides that, he would be establishing.himself as a m'ercha4t, and as a.builder of modern and worth while tlrirngs.

He not only';has a chance to increase, hislsales and his profits on new stuff, but he has every old home in town as a prospective user of these .modern things. They can be stuck in the walls and the corners in any old home to make it modern, useful, mbre'livable; and more beautiful. It gives the dealer something attractive and interestinc' to show in his::place of business.' You can't display,boards to advantage. But y|u CAN .display these new and lovely thingsl'for fhe home that boards will build.
