Mr. Tate Defends the Industry

I. N. Tate, 18463, St. Paul, Minn., asked to speak for the 'West Coast Lumbermens Association, stated that he was not authorized to do so, but that he would venture a few general remarks, having nothing to do with any association.

"The lumber industry," he said, "is in an emergency, just as.everyone else is. Ours has some added complications. 'We are being criticized because there has been a small advance in prices. Perhaps 7O per ceht of the mills could make a little money on the scale before the rise set in. To get maximum production, however, the 3O per cent of marginal mills had to have a little better price, and if the demand for defense rvork is going to be as great as indicated, we must have the output of these marginal mills. We have tried to stop a runaway market, and I think we have it under control."

Mr. Tate lauded a number of progressive moves under way by various associations in the industry, and concluded with the remarks that "The rvay to run a Hoo-Hoo cl,ub is first to have three or four devoted souls who will keep the ball rolling. Then have some real objectives besides fun and entertainment, objectives such as improved salesmanship, Tested Selling Methods courses, the local real estate tax problem. This last is important enough a,nd vital enough for any Hoo-Hoo club to rally around."

A message from L. J. Woodson, 2&94, Arcanoper, San Francisco, rep,orted some very fine concatenations during the past year. A telegram from W. W. Woodridge, Red Cedar Shingle Bureau, Seattle, was read.

Thi.s concluded the business of the afternoon session which was followed by a concatenation in which nine kittens were initiated. The ritual was followed by a banquet and show.

A luncheon meeting concluded the program. Here, I. N. Tate, Weyerhaeuser Sales Company, was the principal speaker, his subject being, "What of the Future?" In closing his address Mr. Tate said:

"I do ,not know a more inspiring story than the present story of lumber; or any story that so ne'eds to be told. Nor do I know any organization so well equipped to tell it, or more selfishly interested in telling it, if you wish to approach it from the selfish angle.

"Inevitably, f come back to the fact that the crying need of our industry is salesmanship. Better selli,ng of our product; better selling of the lumber story to a nation that should know that story for its own good. We are the salesmen who must do this tremendous selling job.

"What of the Future ? Is the Lumber industry worth saving? The only question is whetheh we have the "intelligent courage" to save it."
