THIS MARK Guards Your Profits, and Your Customer's Property

TO YOU the mark means protection from unethical practices. Wolmanized Lumber* is sold only through regular trade channels. Well-known producers stock it, so you can get prompt shipment in straight or mixed carloads. Or you may have your own lumber treated at our plants.

TO YOUR CUSTOMER, the Wolmanized* mark is assurance of a reliable treating job, pressure-impregnation with Wolman Salts*, the specific safeguard against decay and termite damage. It means clean lumber, that can be nailed, stained, or painted. The salts are odorless, non-leaching, and non-corrosive. And the mark means low cost, less than 2/s addrtion to the expenditure on an ordinary house, because treated material need be used only for subfloors, sills, joists, etc.

THE MARK PAYS. IT HELPS YOU SELL. Aggressive dealers find that selling Wolmanized Lumber wins prospective customers. People who want reliable protection buy where it can be bought. Give them a chance, by telling the story. Our nearest office will gladly give you full details.

Annual Community Chest Appeals

For two thousand years the story of the Good Samaritan has been the lesson for man to relieve the distress of his neighbor-and the obligation itself is eternal.

C)ctober ushers in a number of annual Con.rmunity Chest appeals up and down the coast. Tl.re leading lumber merchants ancl related concerl-ls r,vill not onl-l' be c<intacted by the Chest volunteers. but manl-, like other establishments, u'ill have their on'n "companr. cha'rmen" u'ho will rvork with the firm's teams.

President Robert G. Sproul, of the Ur-riversity of California, says: "Modern civilization may have changed our modes of living, but it has not altered the rvay of our hearts. Today the Community Chest has taken the place of personal neighborliness. . . Helping a neighbor in distress by contributing to the Community Chest is still a personal obligation and a civic duty. I believe in that spirit and endorse the Community Chest one hundrecl per cent."
