ATTENTION MR. HAMMATT

Mr. Mathews of Kicrnan-Hubbard Lumber Co., Oakland; advises me that onc of his main contractors, who contracts for homes $10,000 and up, informcd him that the general public and thc architect arc bccordng vcry interestcd in the use of Rustics and Sidings, and brcakins away from the stucco homes.

SomJof ttrise people are breaking away becausc they wish to be "Different"; othcrs because they figure it is a bctter value in Sidings.

Mr. Mathews stated he was sofircwhat surprised that such a call ehould bc made so quickly for Sidings, as hc figured it would take about a ycar morc beforc they would break away from the usc of stucco. Hc also statcd that it was to the contractors' advantagc to usc Siding because then'he would have the building complete in his own hands. As it is now, he is only handling the lumber, which is the frame and finish; while thc whole outside goes to a sub-contractor for stucco, who chargcs vcry high ratcs per day and of coursc

But, with the use of Sidings, the sub-contractor would be eliminated and completion of the buildings would be entirely in the contractor's hands, by means of which he would secure a greater profit and have the building completed under onb supervision-

The above information was given to me by Mr. Mathews, without solicitation from me. Mr. Mathews is very much interestcd in pustting Redwood Siding, as he fighres it is a bbtter. job, financially, and economicalty, and also from an architectural point of view.
