Wholesalers Studying Costs

The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association through its committee on the "Cost of Conducting a Wholesale Lumber Business" is again actively at work with the membership in an effort to obtain reliable information as to what it costs'to distribute lumber at wholesale. This subject was discussed at considerable length at the convention at Atlantic City in March, and it was one of the outstanding features of the meeting, and in which thb members expressed a real interest. The reports received up to'the time of the meeting were most interesting and naturally showed a wide range of costs, dependihg upon. the different character of wholesale business reported, and because of *hich there is bound to be a wide spread. One factor, however, was outstanding, and that is the apparent difficulty of obtaining figures on a worthwhile comparative percentage basis, simply because there was such a lack of uniformity in arriving at the figures themselves. With this in mind, the committee has arranged with a firm of nationally known public accountants to examine into systems now used by a number of varying type of lumber wholesalers who are willing to co-operate, all for the purpose of recommending a basic accounting system which can be used by, or readily adjusted to, the requirementd of the average wholesale lumber office.

Charley Owens Presides

Parson Simpkindelivers Sermon Over Station Ktab

Over 500, which included a large number of the Bay District lumbermen and their friends, were present at the Tenth Avenue Baptist Church, Oakland, on Sunday evening, September 27,-when Hoo-Hoo Chaplain Rev. P. A. Simpkin occupied the pulpit and delivered his wonderful sermon on "Pea^ce, War ind- World Brotherhood." The entire church service was broadcast over Station KTAB, which is the fourth largest station west of Chicago' At the conclusion of his excdllent address he announced that through the effortsof James H. Allen of St. Louis, Past Snark of the Universe, that the first Sunday evening in September of each year was to be set aside by the Order of Hoo-Hoo, when- church services would be conducted by the Order throughout the country on that night'

Rod Hendrickson, Supreme Junior I{oo-IIoo, introduced the Parson and also gave a short resume of the purposes of the Order and what it was accomplishing for the lumber industry of the nation. During the services there was a special musical program.

Lumber Sales Opportunities In The Farm

Farm buying power this year (1925-26) is 7.7 per cent higher than the 1909-13 period and 10.5 per cent higher than the average f.rom 1922 to 1925, according to a recent announcement of the Agricultural Publishers' Association. Another reason why the farm field offers an exceptional sales opportunity is the complete national spread of farm prosperiiy. Farm cash income is now estimated, says this same auihority, to be several million dollars higher than last year's mark of $10,335,000,000 and farm buying is predicated on an enormous scale. Farmers are replacing their operating equipment, modernizing their homes and carrying out necessary building programs.
