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.
