Orders for the week ending September 28 were 9.63 per cent less taan produc{ion.

The California market chowed very little change during the past two weekr and there ir not a great deal of buying. Clears are firm and continue to rhow strength. Owing to the increa.red curtailment program now rmder way at the mills' vessels are having difficulty in finding cargo. Unrold rtocks at San Pedro have been reduced since the firrt of the month. Unsold gtooks at this port on October 9 totaled 15r31O,0OO feet. There are 38 lumber vesrels laid up, and one vetsel is operating off-shore.

Douglar fir cargo arrivals at San Pedro during the month of September totaled 94r962rq)O feet. Fir cargo arrivals at San Francirco in the same period amounted to 46471rOOO feet.

Hill & Morton Inc. Move State Association Annual Offices in Oakland Nov. 7-8-9

I Hill &.Morton, Inc., well known wholesale lumber dealers. moved their offices on October 1 from their old location in the Builders' Exchange Building, Oakland, to Dennison Street Wharf, where they are located in a new office building adjoining their warehouse.

The warehouse is 216 feet long, 40 feet wide and 24 feet high, and was designed to take care of dry lumber. This will be particularly valuable during the winter months. H. S. Moiton, president of the concern is well pleased with the new layout, as it enables the firm to give more personal service to customers, and it incidentally saves him personally a lot of time.

Henry J. Meyer, until recently with W. R. Chamberlin & Co. is now associated with Hill & Morton. Inc., and will cover all of the East Bay territory.

C. H. Terrell will again make his headquarters in Sacramento, and will continue to cover both the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys.

T. L. Driscoll, who has been with the organization ever since it started, is in charge of the firm's Portland office.

The annual convention of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association will be held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, November 7, I and 9.

A. J. Stoner, Sawtelle Lumber Co., Sawtelle; Paul Hallingby, lf ammond Lumber Company, Los Angeles; and C. W. Pinkerton, Whittier Lumber Co., Whittier, have charge of the program for the convention. M. A. Harris, Van Arsdale-Harris, San Francisco, is chairman of the arrange* ments committee and announces that he is receiving excellent cooperation from the San Francisco and East Bay retailers.

H. A. Lake, president of the Association, states that they anticipate a very large dealer registration at this year's annual.

By JackDionne

There's a popular lazz song that comes in over the radio frequently of late, entitled, "I'm doing what I'm doing for love." Come to think of it, that wouldn't be a bad theme song for the lumber industry. That's about all lots of them ever get out of it-if anY.

A California visitor said the other day: "I hurried out because I was afraid if I waited much longer there wouldn't be any Redwood trees left for me to see, judging from some of the things I've read." And the Redwood manufacturer to whom he was talking said: "You nor your grandchildren won't live that long; we will always have, and will always be cutting, Redwood"'

If you want to absorb a better opinion of wood than you have ever entertained before, take a peek at the average airplane as it is being constructed. See the wonderful things that are being done with wood, cleverly and scientifically fabricated. Not big chunks of wood, but little' wee wisps of wood. And human life is being confidently entrusted with these wooden wafers. You will probably get an impression of the DEPENDAEILITY of wood that you nev"r got before.

Wood isn't getting a very good deal in airplane publicity, because the metal folks are so very much more on the job than are the wood boosters-just as the other building materials always are. Worlds of people know that if the facts were secured and published the value of wooden planes would rise immeasurably higher than that of the new metal ships. It is a known fact that a lot of these wooden ships have crashed with minimum damage and loss oflife. Some cases have been almost miraculous. But you don't hear much of them because the cause of wood is not being scientificallt .ttud*-l abetted.

It's in the big all-metal planes that the passengers die the horrible deaths by fire-not in the wooden ones. Don't get that idea wrong in your head. The metal plane crashes, the gasoline flares all over the ship, and the inmates are horribly roasted. They can't get out. There isn't half that much sort of danger in a wooden ship. Wood is a nonconductor of heat. A metal case is a roasting oven, when the fames are playing over the outside. In California a big all wood passenget laden plane crashed without a single serious injury, although it caught fire. They all got out. Thege have been various other cases reported.

Here's the idea. Did you ever see one of the farnous demonstrationF of fire-resisting paint in the old days? Greatcst fake on earth. They would take a thin pulpwood box, paint

it with this fire resister, put a roll of money in it, cover it with dry sawdust, pour gasoline over the sawdust, set it afire, and when the fire died down the money was found unharmed. It was the non-conductor box, and the rapidly burning gasoline that saved the money. Use a thin metal box, and the money would be destroyed, because the metd would get red hot. Get the idea? ,i>F*

Frequently I have remarked in this column that one of the great and unsupplied needs of the lumber industry is a scientific research department such as General Motors has for their autos. There is great work to be done for wood in this mighty airplane development. But it won't be done. The lumber industry prefers to spend its money in gobs with the consumer magazines-who do nothing for lurnber, and don't need the money. ,F:r*

The contest between wood and metal in airplane construction today is one of the keenest industrial battles extant. Any unbiased authority can tell you about it. They are scrapping for every part of the plane, bit by bit. But the metal scrap is coordinated, organized, intelligent. The wooden end of the fight is individual, and depends on the very quality of the material for its safeguard. ,If the wooden cause had the metal backing-metal would catch heil. ft's always that way. IF-IF-IF. The lumber game is dying of that IF disease.

Things change rapidly in the lumber industry. Every time I see some beautiful demonstration of the use of Southern Gum I think of the few short years ago when they didn't even count the Gum timber as an asset in a sale of timber in the South. Today it is acknowledged to be one of the world's most useful and beautiful woods. A lot of lumbermen went a long ways off to buy other softwoods, scorning Southern hardwoods. Today the Southern hardwood business is one of the most successful departments of the national industry, and getting better all the time. The gum manufacturers learned how.

Saw some more wond"lrrr-u"L""strations of hardwood interiors for modest homes the other day. Low grade hardwoods used to cover the walls, strips of the same or other woods used for giving the paneling effect, the surface i roughened, a modest costing antique effect administered, I and wonderful results. These dull effects are far cheaper V than the glossy finish, are not subject to easy damage or marking, and last always. Just using brains in the lumber business. That's all.

Reduced rail rates on hardwood lumber from Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas to California. Ten cents a hundred is the amount. By this reduction the railroads hope to get a greater share of the hardwood freight from the territory mentioned, cutting in on the water business which has grown very heavy. Which probably will mean that water rates will drop to meet the rail reduction. Both crowds want this heavy hardwood tonnage. **,i

I know a softwood lumber distributor, a very good lumber seller and sales thinker; who writes across the bottom of all his business letters-"My business is good. How is yours?" IIe wants to set the example of optimistic thought as opposed to the pessimism so prevalent in some places. And a very good scheme. SAYING your business is good, won't make jt good. But saying it is good will make you hustle to MAKE IT GOOD, and there comes the good result.

,f:f+.

The "creeping, crawling things" of the earth have always been referred to with dread and disdain. But the

other day I watched several creeping, crawling things doing marvelous work in a logging operation. They were creeping, crawling caterpillar tractors, for hauling logs. They represent a pendulum swing. To begin with men logged with animals, wagons, carts. Then they took to power loggrng, power engines dragging in the logs, ponderously, powerJully, but destructively. Everything in their way was squashed. And now we go back again to logging that allows the young trees to stand. These creeping tractors can go wherever a team can, and worlds of places where a team cannot, and their use is becoming the rage in logging.

Woods of the Orient. Some day we will be using lots of them in this country, when our own hardwood begins to get thin.. And hardwood timber disappeals much faster than softwood, as all lumbermen I know. A man showed me the other day samples of hardwoods from the Orient, strange in 4ame, appearance, and use. But beautiful and useful looking woods, of many tints, many degrees of hardness, etc. Some day we will try them out, and put them to our own uses.

38th Hoo Hoo Annual

Gaines D. Whitsitt ElectedSnark

Gaines D. Whitsitt, Amarillo, Texas, was elected Snark of the lJniverse at the thirtv-eighth annual convention of the Concatenated Order of 'Ho6 Hoo held at Amarillo, Texas, on September 25,26, and27. Mr. Whitsitt has been an active member of Hoo Hoo for many years and served as Senior Hoo Hoo on the Supreme Nine during the past year. He succeeds M. M. Riner of Kansas C-ity, ^Mo.

- The follor,r'ing were elected to serve on the -Suprem-e Nine: Senior lloo Hoo, Adelard Beaudette, Montreal, Canada; Junior Hoo Hoo, Franklin A. -Hofheins, Buffalo, N. Y.; Bojum, W. G. Smith, Akron, Ohio; Scrivenoter,

ters and the local units, and to give direct support to the lumber association in their trade promotion efforts.

Resolutions of appreciation to the trade associations, lumber press, officers of the Order, Snark Riner, Secretary-Treisurer Isherwood, the lumbermen and ladies of Amarillo, the United States and Canadian Forest services, and to E. C. Atkins & Co., rvhich furnished the convention badges, were adopted.

Cresolution of 'greeting and good wishes was adoPted by the convention- and tilegrap-hed to Parson and Mrs. Simpkin, at their home in Diytbn, Ore. The Parson was un"bl. to attend the convention owing to the serious illness of Mrs. Simpkin.

A message of greeting also was sent to Peter T. Langan, 24Cfl., -oi tttJ P. T. Langan Lumber Co., Cairo, Ill., wiaety knorvn and beloved lumberman and Hoo Hoo, who was unable to attend.

OPENING SESSION

Snark of the Universe M. M. Riner called the meeting to order. Mayor Ernest O. Thompson of Amarillo welcomed the visitors in behalf of the City, and Dwight Newby, president of the Amarillo Hoo H.oo Club, did likewise- on tehalf of the Hoo Hoo of Amarillo and Texas. Adelard Beaudette, a member of the Supreme Nine from Montreal, Canada, responded for the visitors.

In presiding over the business sessions, Snark Riner used a handsome -gavel and block carved from the timbers of the U. S. S. Constitution-"Old lronside5"-presented to Hoo Hoo by Frederick Kemp, on behalf of the Harry L. Folsom Hoo Hoo Club of Boston.

The Spokane Club won the Hoo Hoo Club c_up-the first club to win a second victory in the contest. Spokane won the cup in 1926, the Twin Cities Club in t927, and tll.e Kansas City Club in 1928.

An impoitant action of the convention was the creation of a Sustaining Membership, to which all members of the Order and any eligible lumbermen will be permitte4 -to subscribe. The du"es of the classification will be $25.00, of which 4O per cent will be available for the activities of any Hoo Hoo Club which enrolls as a sustaining -m-ember.

The convention imposed on the new Supreme Nine the responsibility of preparing a complete, specific glggr.am f-or the further development of the Order, and of publishing the program in an eaily issue of the Hoo Hoo Bulletin. -

Decrying the fact that the Order's Friends of the Forests aciivities were curtailed during the last year, the convention adopted a resolution directing the Supreme Nine to encourage the substantial renewal of forestry-educational work. Another resolution on the subject of forestry reiterated the Order's intention to cooperate activelv with the United States and Canadian Forest services.

While not officially recording itself on the subject, .the convention was in unanimous accord with the proposal to increase the field staff of the International Order as a means of establishing closer contacts between Headquar-

Snark Riner then introduced six past Snark of the Universe, as follows: N. A. Gladding, Indianapolil Seer of the Fiouse of Ancients; A. C. Ramsey, Terrell, Texas; E. D. Tennant, Santa Monica, Cal.; W. S. Dickason, Tulsa; Arthur A. Hood, Chicago, and James M. Brown, Spokane.

SNARK RINER'S ADDRESS

Snark of the ljniverse Riner then delivered his annual report in which he analyzed Hoo Hoo and its opportunities. Snark Riner said in part:

"Business men, piofessional men, capital and labor are all in accord on one point, which is that the best contribution to the welfare of our country from the standpoint of moral uplift, education, economy and develop-ment-is to be had through association and organization. Hoo Hoo accepts this principle, giving aid and -assistance wherever poisible to the d-evetopment of association and otganila' tion work. If our country is to become what we hope for, ifit is to gain and maintain a lead in world affairs, if it is to have -the confidence and respect of all other nations of the world, and maintain them, it will be due to the inflpence of the home life of the generation now in swaddiing clothes. Is it reasonable to gxpecJ our future pr-esident"s, congressmen, scientists and leaders to be cradled in careless-ness and indifference? It has been said, and truly said, I believe, that home life will shape the destiny of tfie future. Therefore, Hoo Hoo believes in modernization, it believes the home should be made more attractive, more comfoitable, more enduring, more beautiful, stimulating the youth of our country with more reverence for it.

38th Hoo-Hoo Annual

(Continued from Page 12)

God in His infinite wisdom and mercy surely created the Forests to serve as a blessing for civilization.

"In the Lumber Industry, the second largest of our country, we find many associations and organizations. Perhaps it is not too much'to say there is an associration or organization of manufacturers representing every species of timber now being manufactured into lumber. There are Manufacturers' Associations on the West Coast, in the Inland Empire, in the Southwest, in the South, in the

crowned with success it will have rendered a sen'ice to civilization and to our country. Yes, more than these; for it will have contributed to an invaluable service to the program of reforestation and conservatiori of our forests, which will make available a perpetual supply for future generations of not only the best but the most enduring, artistic and beautiful supply of home construction material on earth. It will contribute to this program, not so much by direct'effort as by creating through the demand from

Southeast, in the Middle West; in fact, all over our country, all and each of which has done and is now doing its full share in establishing a uniform standard of size and grade. In doing this, they have rendered a service to the public, they have broadened the opportunity of the distributor.

"Hoo Hoo believes the best way to conserve the forest is by utilization, thereby establishing the need for it and the value of it. The forest will mature in the course of time and must be harvested to serve civilization. To permit it to fall unnecessarily in decay, to ignore the need for conservation, to make no effort for reforestation is to neglect an opportunity of vital importance to the future economic growth and development of our country.

"A few years since our daily papers were calling the attention of the public to the scarcity of timber, how fast our forests were being depleted, claiming in some instances nothing but an inferior quality of lumber for construction could be secured. I believe it is safe to say many of the home builders of our countrv todav are of this ooinion. while the members of this Organi.ition know itii not a statement of fact; on the contrary, the best prepared, the best quality, the best graded for strength and durability; for the purpose intended strong effort of the National Manufacturers Association, ever obtainable for construction purposes in the history of the Industry is now available, and while members of this and other organizations know these facts, yet it is necessary that this information be brought to the attention of the consuming public. This educational feature is an intricate part of the program of Hoo Hoo.

"The door of opportunity is open; Hoo-Hoo stands on the threshold; it has a vision of the things it hopes to do, and it should not be discouraged by thJclouds-of uncertainties and disappointment, selfishness and indifference that may obstruct the way. As it moves forward toward the goal of success these obstacles will crystallize into bulwarks of support, and when its efforts shall have been

the public the need of a perpetual supply. When our citizens demand it, no political party can or will be able to make a political issue of it. No greater or far reaching opportunity could ever present itself to Hoo Hoo."

SECRETARY ISHERWOOD'S REPORT

Secretary-Treasurer Isherwood's annual report reflected a satisfactory growth and encouraging stability of the Order. He reported the enrollment of 919 new members ond the reinstatement of 175 delinquents. The number of paid-up members as compared with previous years was referred to by the Secretary as a strong indication of the permanency of the present membership

The Secretary expressed pleasure at the cooperation given the Order by the Lumber Associations, the Trade Press, the Forest Services of the United States and Canada, and the officers, from the Supreme Nine down.

A considerable portion of his report was devoted to the wood promotion activities of the Order, in cooperation with the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association and affrliated organizations. IIe advocated more intensive activities along this line during the ensuing year. Among his suggestions was one to the effect that every Hoo-Hoo Club should have a committee, representing all branches of the Lumber Industry, whose sole function would be to watch for new building operations and'to make certain that lumber would receive the recognition its. qualities command.

He complimentecl many Hoo-Hoo clubs for c-onstructive r.vork, referring particularly to the free "smokers" staged in a number of cities at u'hich carpenters, contractors and others users and specifiers of building materials were guests. He also mentioned as constructive work, the building of a model home by the Hoo-Club of Lane County, Ore., the minature model farm building contest of the Eugene, Ore., Hoo Hoo Club, the activities of the education-

THE FINAL TEST FOR WATERPROOF CONCRETE

Just when is a concrete wall really waterproof? Thete is only one final and convincing test-when the wall is completely dry at all times, excePt for the surface that is actually exposed to moisture-when the conctete not only turns the water but also prevents it from being ttsucked uptt by the fotce of capillary attraction.

There is no question of the ability of Monolith Waterptoof Pordand Cement to destroy capillarity in concrete and plaster. Dozens of contractors have proved it to their own complete satisfaction. ft is a quality the cement enjoys by virtue of an exclusive patented manufacturing pfocess.

Monolith Vaterproof passes all requirements for Portland cement. In fact, in firmness and tensile strength it exceeds requirements considerably. ft makes concrete of greater density, completely filling every crevice in t{re forms. Youtll get better results and save time and la,bor by using Monolith. It is the standard product for all waterproof concrete and plaster work.

Walter Scrim Heads Reorganized and Vitalized Philippine Mahogany Association

The Philippine Mahogany Association, with offices in the Grand Central Terminal, New York City, recently entirely reorganized,, revitalized, and incorporated for the purpose of fighting the battles of Philippine Mahogany before the world, held its election of officers in New York on September 26, ancJ. elected the follorving officers for the ensuing year:

President, Walter Scrim, Findlay Millar Timber Company, Central Building, Los Angeles.

\/ice-President, Horvard R. Black, Black & Yates, Inc., New York City.

'Treasurer, I{erbert L. Black, Black & Yates, Inc., New York City.

Secretary, Cla1,-ton D. Mell. Grand Central Terminal, New York City.

The history of the nervly incorporated and reorganized association really begins from this election date.

The honor paid Mr. Scrim was justly earned. As the directors stated in their letter telling Mr. Scrim of his choice for their highest office,-"No man has done as much for the cause of Philippine Mahogany as you fi4ys"-and this trubute is a very just one.

Ten years ago Mr. Scrim, a Canadian born and life-long lumberman and sash and door man, was sent to the Philippines by The Findlay Millar Timber Company and made resident manager and sales manager of their business. He found that they were shipping only half a million feet of their product a year to the United States where Philippine was a comparatively unknown r,vood, most of their pro{uct being sold for ordinary construction purposes in the Philippines just as the softwoods are used in the United States. He induced his directors to let him try a fling at making the United States buy more Philippine, and they gave him leave to come to this country and give it a try.

They gxpected him back in a ferv months. He has never returned, beiqg too busy merchandising the wonderful woods o! the Philippines to the lumber using trade of this nation. His first sale on this side was 900,00C) feet of Philip- pine to a single buyer, which convinced him and his employers that their great market had been overlooked.

Mr. Scrim has built for himself a national reputation as an earnest, honorable, practical, and successful preacher of the gospel of Philippine Mahogany. He believes that they are the world's most useful woods, and indispensable to Americ_an use, and his business has built steadily every year. He recently built himself a home in a suburb of I;os Angeles, using Philippine woods in wonderful fashion throughout

He- !s a splendid selection for President of the Philippine Mahogany Association, and will give much of his concentrated interest to the work to be done. He drives horne the thought that this Association is organized for the protection of the rights and interests of Philippine Mahogany, and for the distribution of honest and practical infolmation concerning same.

They have selected as their Secretary a man wonderfully equipped for the job, Dr. Clayton D. Mell, one of the world's foremost authorities on Mahogany and all tropical woods, who has spent much of his life in a series of 26 expeditions of study into the tropical forests of the world. A botanist and dendrologist, as well as very excellent organization enthusiast, he is doing splendid work for the organization.

Mr. Scrim announces that their first work will be a drive for members. Their active members consist of manufacturers and large wholesalers of Philippine r.voods, and their associate members are large industrial consumers of those woods. They willtry and enlist the membership of the latter class in their first efforts.

al committee of the Spokane Hoo Hoo Club in the interests of wood defense and promotion, and similar activities in many other cities

The Secretary described as among the most vital needs of the Order, the acquisition of additional field help, the encouragement of greater interest in the Order on the part of executives of the Industry, and closer cooperation between the Order and all the other Trade Associations.

"Whenever a business depression tomes, there seems to

E. D. Tennant Santa Monica, Calil. Member of Nominating Committee

be a tendency among organization members to drop their affiliations at once, in the mistaken assumption that their time must be given in full to the immediate needs of their business, and their expenses curtailed to the extent of lopping off their association dues," Secretary Isherwood said.

"You never needed Hoo Hoo and Your Trade Associations more at any time than you do when business is in a stagnant, unstable state. That's when we must stick close together-friendly, confident, calm; trying to work out our problems shoulder-to-shoulder, instead of running panicky into our individual hutches.

"There isn't a problem before us that could be solved by any small group, or by one individual. But our every problem could be solved if we would but have the courage to stick together and meet the enemy, in whatever shape he might appear, as a collective, cooperative, courageous, intelligent unit.

"We must stick together-we must believe in one another-we must think and act together. The opportunity to do these things is before us. Will we think intelligently and act determinedly? You will have to help answer the question.

A. C. Dixon, Booth-Kelly Lumber Co., Eugene, Oregon, retiring Junior Hoo Hoo on the Supreme Nine was unable to attend the conventionbut forwarded a paper outlining a plan for the possible reorganization of Hoo Hoo which was read by Franklin A. Hofheins. Mr. Dixon recommended that a staff of from six to ten speakers be put in the field who would tour the country and organize clubs in every

city or town where there were two or more lumber conceins located, and also conduct public meetings where they would carry to their hearers in a convincing way every rvorthwhile-thought having to do with any and every-thing in the lumber line, from forestry to the finest class of construction and the most minute utilization of wood products.

OSIRIAN CLOISTER INITIATION AND BANQUET

The annual initiation of the Osirian Cloister was held the afternoon of the first day, with 13 candidates. High Priest of Osiris James M. Brown officiated. The Cloister banquet, the gala alfair of the convention, was held that evening and Hariy T. Kendall, general sales manager of the Central Coal'& Coke Co., kZtts"s City, was thJ principal speaker. High Priest Brown presided. It was a wonderful affair, with more than 400 in attendance.

The second day was devoted to reports of officers from many sections; and a luncheon at noon at which Charles R. Iilack, of Corning, Ark., president of the Southrvestern Lumbermen's Association, was the principal speaker; and the awarding of the Hoo Hoo Club Cup to the Spokane chapter.

In addition toa remarkably interesting talk bv Mr. Black, there were a number of impromptu talks from representatives of various branches of the Industry and many districts of the Order, all of which contributed toward making the luncheon one of the best sessions of the convention.

ANNUAL CONCATENATION

Golf in the afternoon and the annual Concatenation in the evening concluded the second day's program.-V-icegerent Snaik Wesley M. Hall and his highly-traine-d Nine gave the initiatory ceremony in a manne. t-h3! will long be iemembered, not -only by the big crowd which packed the Municipal Auditorium, but by the 26 kittens as well' Reports of committees, adoption of resolutions, elect-ion of officers and embalming of the retiring Snark of the Universe occupied the final morning's session. A. C. Horner, San Francisco, Calif., Western Division manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, addressed the delegates on the excellent work being acjomplishe-d by HoJHoo. That afternoon there was a real Texas barbecue and rodeo-a feature especially interesting to the visitors from outside the Lone Star State.

The ladies were rovallv entertained by the Hostess Committee, of which Mrs. Gaines D. Whitsitt was general chairman. There was a musicale and tea, the Cloister banquet and dance, luncheon in the Devil's Kitchen at Harding's Ranch, a theatre party and dancing following the Concat, and the rodeo and barbecue.

The members.of the Supreme Nine will decide the meeting place of the'1930 annual. Phoenix, Arizona, and Toronto, Canada, are in the field for the next annual convention.

Nation al-American Wholesalers

Meet

Twenty-five wholesalers from different sections of the country attended three important meetings held in the offices of the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, New York, on Sbptember 25-26, covering trade extension, the 'relations between manufacturers and wholesalers and the usual fall meeting of the Exec-utive Committee.

The trade extension committee, met on the morning of September 25th, to further consider the wholesalers' relation to the trade extension campaign, especially in connection with the promotion of grade marking and Ndtional "Tree" Lumber. The National-American has endor.sed the principle of grade and association trade marking so long as nothing appears in the symbol to reveal the identity of the mill, It is unalterably opposed to individual trade marking, which is not part of the trade extension campaign, and at its meeting the Committee recommended: After carefully considering the developments of the lumber trade extension campaign to date, especially in reference to the promo- tionof grade-marking and trade-marking, without due mention of unmarked lumber which we hold is not fair in view of the fact that the greater portion of all the lumber produced is still unmarked, we are still of the opinion that sufficient has been accomplished in the way of promoting the use of lumber generally, through advertising, home modernizi.ng, research, building code activity and other lines of development to warrant our continued adherence to the movement. We rernain in hearty accord with the resolution adopted at our last convention, favoring the orderly promotion of grade- and trade-marking without prejudice to unmarked lumber, with the wholesalers' rights properly safeguarded

The discussions brought out the fact that in some instances grade-marked lumber was not available to wholesalers on a basis which recognized the wholesalers' proper cost of distribution, and as complete cooperation in grademarked promotion must be linked with a merchandising arrangement which recognizes distribution costs, the trade extension committee further recommended that "Our Committee on joint relations between wholesalers and manufacturers'be requested to take up definitely with the manufacturers at the earliest opportunity the question of proper remuneration to the wholesaler for the service rendered and that this question be considered in connection with the question of promoting grade-marking and association tradeManufacturers Association. The committee recolnmended

RELATIONS BETWEEN MANUFACTURERS AND WHOLESALERS

Relations between manufacturers and wholesalers, proper remuneration to wholesalers to adequately cover their distribution costs and other phases of cooperation between manufacturers and wholesalers, as well as among wholesalers themselves, were considered at a special meeting on the morning of the 26th; in fact, the broad exchange of views from different sections of the country constituted a miniature convention.

Secretary Schupner covered the status of the sub-committee report of the joint manufacturers-wholesalers committee which recommends a distribution policy between mills and wholesalers and which has been approved by some of the regional manufacturers associations, and the joint recommendation of last September between manufac-

turers and retailers covering a distribution policy in which the National-American could not ioin because of the lack of reference to that large class oi industrial trade which has always been recognized as wholesale and must remain so.

A letter was received showing these recommendations had beeh considered at the last directors' meeting of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and suggesting a conference of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers to discuss a general national distribution policy and inquiring as to the desirability of a federal trade practice industry conference. It was the general opinion of the wholesalers present that certain established conditions now handled satisfactorily through local committees would make it impractical to agree on a national policy, and the idea of a trade practice conference was not generally acceptable although the National-American holds itself in readiness to consider these questions.

RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF REVISED CAR CERTIFICATE

A report was received from the special committee which met with other associations to consider the car certificate originally proposed by the Northern Hemlock & Hardwood Manufacturers Association. The committee recommended approval of the revised form of certificate, which, when adapted to meet regional conditions, will likely come into general use. It was noted that participation in such practical conferences helped in the development of industry relations.

The meeting w?s pleased with the recent action of the Roofer Club on its fund to guarantee payment of arbitration claims on sales made to wholesalers.

There was much interest in the Association's cooperation in the maple flooring code of merchandising practices, and while this code is incomplete, steps have been taken to put some of its provisions into actual practice. Some wholesalers have been selected as sole distributors to cover stated territory on a more remunerative arrangement than heretofore existed. In these discussions emphasis was laid on the necessity for higher compensation and on the difficulties arising from allowing the wholesale discount to retailers who either clai'm to be wholesalers or who are listed in agency books as "wholebale and retail" and it is believed a sincere effort is being made to discontinue this discount to those not entitled to it. If this general code plan is extended it will undoubtedly improve merchandising conditions in the flooring industry and enable closer contacts between mill and wholesaler.

REPORT ON GROUP MEETINGS

President Mauk reported at lengtfr upon the recent group meetings held on the'North Coast, attended by himself, Secretary Schupner and North Coast Manager R. A. Dailey. These meetings brought together 135 manufacturers and wholesalers, at which there was general discussion on many questions of mutual interest, the exchange of ideas bringing a more sympathetic viewpoint on the problems of both branches of the industry, especially in connection with the visits with officials of westetn associations. A ioint committee of 16 outstanding western manufacturers- and

National-American Wholesalers Meet

(Continued from Page 28)

wholesalers has been appointed, which will result in discussions between the West Cbast Lumbermen's Association and the National-American on the situation in the fir region.

WHOLESALERS REMUNERATION DISCUSSED

Tt " question of wholesalers' remuneration provoked much discussion both from the standpoint of business handled through the wholesaler on either a flat price basis or where a trade discount is allowed. The Natiorial-American's recent survey showing the average cost of rvholesale distribution amounting to 7.83 per cent is accepted throughout the industry as an authoritative compilaiion, it being recognized that individual costs may be bver or under the average. The survey, however, was sufficiently comprehensive geographically, as well as the types of wholesale operations covered, to demonstrate that the customary trade discount of five per cent is grossly inadequate to cover wholesale distribution costs, especially when the average of 7.83 was obtained after every effori was made to reduce expenses to a minimum.

The wholesalers are sufficiently secure in their position to assert that this cost must bi assumed bv anv factor which undertakes his function with all its attendant risks. Statements recently made by manufacturers who have studied the question confirm this position and steps were taken to initiate a ,movement which will aim to fuither promote this idea throughout the industry. The evil of split commissioris was discussed and while this is less prevalent than heretofore, it is believed that educational influences used in the selection by mills of their wholesale outlets will assist in solving this problem.

The result of the discussion was the appointment of a special committee to prepare a questionnaire to the membership in the expectation of obtaining a frank exchange of views which will assist in a further consideration of questions not only important to the prosperity of the wholesalers but to the industry at large.

Following these special meetings, the Executive Committee met and in addition to approving recommendations from the earlier meetings, acted on other matters.

The membership was reported as 549, compared with 569 at the beginning of the year, since which time 24 memberships have been discontinued because of failures, going out of business and other changes. Since April l, 6 weri dropped for non-payment of dues, and 2 expelled for violating the trade ethics provision of the By-Laws. Considera-

tion was given to a recommendation to be submitted to the Annual Meeting to continue adequate income to energetic- ally pursue present and planned activities.

A round table discussion on the credit situation occurred during the luncheon session on the 26th. The Credit Department Committee reported upon a plan to broaden thE scope of the Association's weekly credit list. A series of brief statements on credit fundamentals will be published to the members, including the preparation of hypothetical statements which by example will show some of the more important factors in analyzing statements, such as the proper ratio between quick assets and liabilities, ratios on accounts receivable for stock carry, investment in plant and property for capital investment, also the relation of plant investment to business volume. The present money market situation adds considerably to the credit risk feature of the wholesaler's function, ind methods were discussed for further developing this important association activity.

NEXT ANNUAL CONVENTION

The question as to the time and place of the next annual convention was discussed and a canvass isto be made among' the members for the purpose of getting an expresslon.

Memorials were adopted on the death of former Presidents Lewis Dill, Baltimore. Md. and Tohn W. Robinson, North Tonawanda, N.Y.and Franklin b. Jones, of Davies, Jones & Begbe, formerly National Counsel.

Those who attended these conferences were: C. A. Mauk, President, Toledo; A. E. Lane, New York; M. G. Truman, Chicago; G. I. Jones, Boston ; Dwight Hinckley, Cincinnati; B. S. Woodhead, Beaumont; F. A. Dudley, Philadelphia; C. A. Good.man, Marinette; W. H. Schuette, Pittsburgh; F. S. Underhill, Philadelphia; R. C. Pepper, Springfield; J. I. Coulbourn, Philadelphia; H. F.

Schupner, Secretary; L. N. Duggan, Department Manager and D. Theodore Kelly, Association counsel.

Frederic Palmer of Madera Sugar Pine, San Francisco was present and joined in the general discussion, reiterating some of the statements made by him at the last convention and that the California manufacturers needed the wholesalers' service in the distribution of their product and that there was a growing need of closer contact in the consideration of problems of mutual interest.

Re fiicinq Tnsurance Rates

Insurance rates vary according to specific conditions involved. However figures on various classes of lumber risks show definitely an average rate today only about 40% of the rate prevailing in 1900.

Without presuming to claim all the credit, the fact remains that "that Mutual interest" has had a large part in effecting these rate reductions which represent an enormous saving not only to policy-holders but to the entire lumber industry.

Add a 40% dividend to 60% reduction in rate, and you will realize that the Associated Lumber Mutuals actually offer insurance to the lumber industry today at only about 25% of what similar insurance cost in | 900.

Lumber Mutual Insurance was created by lumbermen to serye the lumber industry, to furnish better protection 6tted to the lumberman's particular needs, and to provide it at lowest cost. That is exactly what it does. Write ang of our companies for full informalion about the protection ofered bg our policies and our fire preoention seruice, and the saoing efecteil bg our ilioidenils.

Mullin Lumber Company Modernizes Offices

Wayne F. Mullin, manager of the Mullin Lumber Company, 1950 West Slauson Ave., Los Angeles, recently decided to demonstrate what a small amount of modernizing could do to the average lumber office, consequently he has one of the most attractive and unique office buildings that can be found at any lumber yard. If variety is the spice of life the Mullin Lumber Company will never run short of seasoning, because the nerv offices include practically every kind of hard and soft wood.

The floor consists of six difierent kinds of oak flooring and the furniture is all a natural finished oak, as is the counter. The front of the counter is divided into six panels, sand blasted with various attractive designs, one of the designs is the Company's trade-mark which shows several burros with capacity loads of lumber on their backs with the slogan "Prompt Delivery If It Breaks Our Backs" written underneath.

The panels which are all large are made of Redwood, sand blasted White Pine, Douglas Fir, and knotty White Pine boards. Three different kinds of wallboard were also used, Celotex, Insulite, and Sterling.

On the exterior of the building Redwood siding is used and the roof is laid with clear Redwood vertical grain lx6x2o inch shingles put on with copper shingle nails.

It would be well worth while for anyone to stop in and see what a great difference a small amount of modernizing can make in the average office.

The Lumbermen Go To Farm School

Reprinted trom the Pacific Rural Press

Like the aroused Missourian the lumbermen of California have decided that "you gotta quit kickin' my dawg around."

Perhaps you read in last week's issue Mr. Tesche's entertaining article of how the purveyors of boards, posts, studding, splinters and knot-holes went to school at the University Farm at Davis to get some ammuniti,on.

Examining probable reasons for this interesting action, we find that both economic depression and competitive products have kicked lumber.

Some one discovered that the waste product of the sugar mill could be pressed into excellent inside finishing material and the once useless bagass6 blossoms forth into a nationally advertised product. So successful has this proved that all the bagass6 has been used and it is now predicted that the corn stalks of this country will soon be manufactured either into "silk" to more or less cover the outside of the ladies or into wall material to cover the inside of buildings.

Cement, backed by aggressive selling methods and fine service has forged to the front with many, many buildrng uses.

Modern types of more or less rustless iron are being fashioned into building sheets, corrugated and otherwise, and national selling campaigns are backing them up.

Brick manufacturers have heaved their product into the ring with earnest hands.

Various forms of roof covering have blossomed forth in both black and rainbow ink.

Floor coverings have arrived with the colors of Joseph's coat and with the numbers of Joseph's brotherg.

And so on, ad ink-initum.

Which is not by the way of disparaging these competing products, but merely to state a fact.

Meanwhile the easily handled and quickly available wood, which is like the air and water, all about us, has struggled witha bad downswing of the afterwar price pendulum, and has more than kept its head up in the sea of 'competition. Here and there some big firm has swung to trade-marked wood or some association has urged the value of its particular type of lumber, but all wood has been somewhat of a step-child in the house it originally built.

Because of this, possibly, California lumbermen went to school the other day at the University Farm at Davis.

They were seeking to know more about the farmer's

problems, and want to learn how to serve his needs. A commendable thing, surely.

And if this paper may presume to make a suggestion, we would urge out of our contacts with many sales campaigns, many building problems, and many farmers, that two things be stressed in California.

Those things are beauty and utility. Our readers will instantly detect the clattering approach of a hobby. And quite right, too.

Utility goes without saying. The farmer must have economical and efficient buildings. Beauty needs constant saying, because it is liable to be crowded back by other considerations. But just the same, the world expects beauty in California and many folks with money come here to buy beauty.

Let's steer the thought with an example. California can never hope to have the massive and impressive barns and outbuildings which Iowa possesses. We have no climatic need for them. One story construction fits our conditions better and blends in harmoniously with our bungalow type of farm homes.

Those ranch homes are widelv admired bv visitors. Well planned and well planted they -have a definite sales value which cannot be overlooked. for everv one must think of the sales value of their property whither their ranch be for sale or not.

So the hopeful thing would seem to be to help plan the outbuildings with such skill that they will save steps and dollars, but in addition to plan them with such taste that the whole farm plant will have a comfortable, liveable, pleasant look.

If we may venture the thought, California needs more farmstead engineers. It needs more help from the University in building plans and in building counsel.

But after all the materials dealer is closer to the problem than anyone else, and if the lumberman can go to school and learn more of the ranch's problem of utility and good taste, he will profit as he serves. Many lumbermen are doing this. More need to do it.

Lumber will find it advantageous to tell its story. This is the age of selling. That does not mean kicking the other fellow's dog, but it means stirring up your own dog and putting him on the trail.

As we aggressively, and efficiently and in good taste build our farms they will be a sounder property in the markets of the future.

Owen L, Gibson

From Hardwood Headquarters Ner.vs

To those of you who, during the last 33 years, haven't met him face-toface-let us introduce Mr. Owen L. Gibson, Secretary-Treasurer o'f White Brothers Hardwood Headquarters. It was back a few years ago-in 1896 to be exact-that Mr. Gibson faithfully fulfilled his first duty with White Brothers-chopping the wood for the open fire-place that provided warmth for the office. Since that memorable day of the "gay nineties" Mr. Gihson has contributed his services to practically all the departments of the business. Office boy, stenographer, billing clerk, bookkeeper, collector and salesman are a few of the "titles" that Mr. Gibson has boasted in his rise to his present position. All the "old-timers"-3qd most of the new generation-know Mr. Gibsonand he's still very much on the job making new friends for White Brothers.

Creo-Dipt

Co. Spends Nearly

$1,000,000 in National Advertising

Sees rsrewed activity in residential building for 1930

It has just been reported to this publication that the CreoDipt Company, manufacturer of Creo-Dipt Stained Shingles and Creo-Dipt Brushcoat Stains, has again contracted for 13 pages of full-color advertisements in the Saturday Evening Post to run during 1930.

"With this contract we will have spent nearly one million dollars advertising Creo-Dipt Stained Shingles," states Mr. J. D. Giles, Vice-President of the Creo-Dipt Company. "And in 1930 Creo-Dipt will spend more money than in any other year."

In this advertising Creo-Dipt will continue to feature, "ask your lumber dealer," for it is entirely through retail distribution that Creo-Dipt has made its success. Considerable emphasis rvill also be given to rebeautifying, as this field of bnsiness is rapidly becoming more and more profitable.
