35 feet by 40 feet, and the double deck shed is 35 feet by 90 feet, with a three-foot runway on the upper deck and 6 feet 6 inches clearance between deck and roof. The fishbone bracing of the double deck shed is cleverly designed to allow maximum space for lumber storage.

The two driveways are wide and are U-shaped at the end to permit trucks to drive in one way and out the other.

The mill is placed 155 feet from the nearest shed to reduce insurance, and fire barrels with a bucket for each are placed around the yard at intervals. An incinerator has been built to burn paper and refuse.

The office is trimmed in Nu-Wood over Douglas Fir plywood. Thc wainscot in the office is black walnut and Nu-Wood wainscot is used in the display room.

A window trimmer is employed to change the window decoration once a week, and a window washer has a contract to come in periodically. This slight extra expense pays dividends in the appearance of the windows.

Mr. Glatts has been 19 years in the lumber business and thinks it is the finest business there is. He has been eight years in Pasadena and before coming to California had 11 years' experience with the Morrison-Merrill Company in Southern Idaho. There is 'no better concern, he says, than the Morrison-Merrill Company for training young lumbermen. This nerv yard, carrying out the ideas for convenience and efficiency gained throughout his experience, is the realization of a long cherished ambition.

N. D. M. A. Announces Program of Preservative Minimum Standards

The National Door Manufacturers Association, Inc., with headquarters in Chicago, Ill., has announced the Preservative Minimum Standards Program, the purposes of which are as follows:

1. To provide for the identification of windows, frames and other architectural wood products which have been preservative-treated in accordance with minimum standards of excellence as a protection to the consumers and distributors of such products.

2. To provide manufacturers whose products are preservative-treated in accordance with minimum standards of excellence with an identifying mark by which those products may be distinguished from those which may not be so treated.

3. To foster the maintenance of high standards in the preservative treatment of wood products as a means of depriving competitive materials of all basis for unjustified claims against them.

Any manufacturer or distributor of sash, frames and architectural wood products may apply for license to use the Association Seal of Approval. Upon satisfying the Association that his preservative treating practices conform to the Association Standards and that his use of the Seal will further the purposes of the program, his application will be approved and he may enter into a License Agreement with the Association. The primary provision of this Agreement is that the Licensee shall conform strictly to the Association Minimum Standards in treating all products to which the Seal is affixed. For the mutual protection of all Licensees, other provisions are established as safeguards against misuse or abuse of the Seal.

The Preservative Minimum Standards, rvhile not confidential, are established as the basis for approval or disapproval of applications, rather than for general publication. They provide for: l. Minimum qualities of the toxic chemical, i. e., toxicity and permanence in wood.

2. Minimum qualities of the complete treating solution, i. e., toxic strength, flash point, volatility, leachability, etc.

3. Minimum fungicidal protection of the wood, penetration and resistance to attack by fungus. e.,

Plywood Adaptable to Modern Lines

Modern rounded corners can be executed in outdoor plywood with a sculptured effect, as shown in the accompanying illustration of a Super-Harbord structure. The material in the thinner panels is so flexible, builders say, that it can easily be formed to simple arcs and shapes.

By the simple process of bandsawing the exterior end of a header to the desired curve, two panels of.7/32" SuperHarbord are placed one atop another fitting snugly over the shaped header. Studs at either end of the header act as anchors to which are nailed the ends of the header, ends of the curved plywood and the adjoining ends of the regular plywood siding units used for the flat wall.

Of restrained modern colonial design, employing oyster white with cobalt blue shutters, the illustration shows also the use of the Redwood plywood siding, called "Harborside," which was an innovation this spring. This siding is made of Super-Harbord and permits of broad, smooth surfaces and panelled effects. Restrained rustication lines can be achieved with this siding, or by a simple technique of overlapping or use of accessory mouldings, pleasing shadow effects can be accomplished. Joints are made smooth and clean, since the edges are neatly double-rabbeted, and joints may be filled and finished over in such a way as to be invisible, if desired. The panels come as large as eight feet in length and as wide as 23 inches.

In keeping with the modern design, but to break the continuity of the rustication lines of the walls, new angles were given in the simple ornamentation on the door. The

The return to the doorway is rounded to an arc of. 12inch radius. In the soffit is a concealed light box that lights the doorway with an indirect effect, eliminating the unfriendly glare of ordinary door lighting.

Even the shutters are of the outdoor plywood. Made with a binder which is insoluble in water and which the manufacturers guarantee against ply separation, the entire structure is armored against the ravages of the weather elements, termites and time.

Reports More Stabilized Condition in Lumber and \(/oodworking Field

Evidence of a more stabilized condition in the lumber and woodworking field is reflected in data just compiled by the Statistical Service of the Lumbermen's Credit Association Inc.

The Association's records show that, during the six months' period just closed with publication of the October edition of their Lumbermen's Credit Rating Book, 278 less "outs" were reported to their subscribers than during the preceding six months' period. During the preceding period 1,196 names in lumber and woodworking lines were deleted from print, as compared with 918 for the past six months, a reduction of.23/o, which in itself is a favorable sign.

During the recent period under comparison, 4,734 credit rating changes were reported to subscribers in their TWICE-A-WEEK Supplements, an increase of 870 over the preceding six months. This is not to be taken as an unfavorable indication, however, as that figure includes both favorable and unfavorable rating changes.

A fairly healthy increase in the Association's subscription list since early Spring is also looked upon as a definite indication of greater stability of market conditions and increased activity among the mills and wholesale dealers.

This specialized lumber credit service was established more than half a century ago by William Clancy, who is still active in its affairs, and is now under the management of his son, W. C. Clancy. The new Credit Rating Book, just published, is the Association's 114th edition.
