Wholesale Hardwood Distributors Meet

(Continued from Page 21) ing-in-transit privilege. Frank Connolly,'Western Hardwood Lumber Company, Los Angeles, gave the report of the Los Angeles committee. After considerable discussion it was decided that the present committees will continue to act until such time as it may be necessary to take ftrrther action.

The Saturday morning meeting was opened with a talk by Jim Davis, Davis Hardwood Company, San Francisco, in which he discussed the matter of nati'onal grading and national inspection of public school orders, also the important matter of a national advertising and promotion campaign t.o promote the use of hardwoods and to help to regain markets for hardwoods that have been lost in some measure to competing materials.

Mr. Davis read a letter he had written to the National Hardwood Lumber Association and their reply stating the subject of advertising would be presented to the directors at the annual convention in Baltimore, September 2l and 22.

Bert Bryan said an advertising campaign would help initiate a trend back to the use of hardwoods in homes and other buildings.

N. J. Sorensen, IJnited States Plywood Corporation, Los Angeles, told of his firm's national advertising campaign to create consumer demand for hardwood panels, and suggested a campaign financed jointly by the mills, distributors, door manufacturers, qanel and trim manufacturers, to influence mainly the architect and home builders.

C. H. White and Frank Connolly expressed the opinion that the mills should put up most of the money for a national advertising campaign to help the distributors.

It was decided to take no action on the matter at this time.

The convention committee reported that the 1940 convention will be held in the Northwest and that the time and place will be announced later.

Directors elected for the coming year are: Portland, P. J. Ahern, Emerson Hardwood Company; Tacoma, Norman Cruver, Wheeler Osgood Sales Corporation; Oakland, B. E. Bryan, Strable Hardwood Com'pany; San Francisco, Homer Maris, Maris Plywood Corporation; Los
