How Lumber Looks

Sales of fir lumber took a jump lart week, indicating that the dealers throughout the state are placing steady normal ordeis for stochs that they must have to take care of the building that keepe merrily on.

From the lart- report of the Weet Coart Lumbermen'r Arsociation, the mills have not made any cerioul curtail' ment in their crrt, ar yet, the last weekly repo-rt showr their memberr mills manuhcturing 10610001000 feetr in rourd nunrberr, and the week previour the total was- l13r000-r-mp fect, the-rame annormt ar in tfie first week in October.

-The lart report from this arociation shows that about SOTOOOT0OO feet of the new bruiness for the last week was for domestic water delivery, meaning California. They have unfilled rail orders for 5'1OO cars.

The dealerr are feeling good. At the convention of the state association at San Francisco, no less than twenty-five retailers from various parts of the state stated that they were all very keen over tte outlook in their sgction-, a1d that they taw no reason for anything but a good rteady de' rnend for all building materialr right through the winter.

SANTA FE ANNOUNCES LOWER LUMBER RATES

Freight rates on lumber shipped from San Diego to points east of Albuquerque on the Santa Fe railroad rvere reduced recently, according to annottncement by the Santa Fe railroad. The new rates were put into effect to give San Diego more equality with San Francisco.

'San Francisco previously had been given a lower rate to offset the cost of water transportation frorm the Pacific northwest. The new rates are the same for San Diego, ,San Francisco and San Pedro. Lumber rates to points w.est of Albuquerque are unchanged.

It is reported that an anti wooden shingle ordinance is being drafted in Los Angeles, to be presented to the city Council some time within the next two weeks.

The Fire Chief of the city, it is said, is drawing up the new law, which will prohibit the use of wooden shingles, in the fire district of Los Angeles, and at the same time will extend the fire districts to the citv limits, on all sides.

Shingle and lum'ber interests of the city have been acquainted of the facts and are preparing to make a fight against the proposed legislation.

And again '"Vl/hat L HOME without a hair-brush? The Combiiration Hair Brurh & Mirror. A high clasr bair brush for high clau hea&.'

C. '\ry'. Pinkerton Reelected President of California Retail Lumbermen's Ass'n.

At the annual meeting of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association held at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, on October % and, 77, the following officers were elected to serve for the coming year: C. W. Pinkerton, Whittier Lumber Co., Whittien President; F. Dean Prescott, Valley Lum'ber Company, Fresno, First Vice-President; E. T. Robie, Auburn l.um'ber Co., Auburn; Second Vice-President; and M. A. Harris, Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co., San Francisco, Third Vice-President. l. H. McCallum, of San Franciscq was elected to serve as Treasurer.

Before a large gathering of lumbermen from alf sections of the state, President Pinkerton, called the meeting to order October 26. M. A. Harris, of San Francisco, made an excellent address of welcome telling the dealers the purpose of the meeting and in well expressed terms welcomed the gathering to the second annual meeting of 'the retailer's convention. Responses to Mr. Harris's address were made by C. W. Pinkerton, president of the Association' and A. E. flickling, presideni bi ttre Southern California Retail Lumberm€n's Association.

The first speaker of the morning session was A. T. Denton, of the Portland Cement Association, who gave an interesting discussion on the "Newl Uses For Cement." The -general discussion that followed Mr. Denton's address was lead by F. Dean, Prescott, of the Valley Lumber Co., Fresno.

The next subject for discussion was Advertising, and the first speakerwas Adeline M. Conner, of the Sacramento Lumber Co., Sacramento, who chose for her subject "A Mere Matter of Words." She referred to the excellent papers and lumber magazines that were available for advertising and also asked her audience if they realized what it meant to them to have their own paper, The California Lumber Merchant, and also payed a very pleasing complipliment to its publisher, Jack Dionne, who she referred to as a "Super-ad Man." She said that the lumber industry, from the tree to the home, offered many beautiful ideas for writing excellent advertisements; and also stressed on the proper selection of words to make advertising copy attractive, the brevity of advertising, and the excellent results that have been obtained by the selection of attractive slogans. This excellent addriss will appear in full in a later issue of the Merchant.

Phil B. Hart, Managing Editor.of the California Lumber Merchant, gave an interesting talk on newspaper advertising. He referred to his experience with newspaper advertising in Los Angles while acting as advertising manager of the Woodhead Lumber Co., the large Southern California retail concern. He spoke of the good results obtained through the proper use of snappy slogans and trade marks. He advised the dealers to be careful in picking their advertising medium, and suggested that the popularity of the publication should always be given due consideration. To send this latter point home, he quoted that superman manufaoturer, Andy Gump, who says, "Advertising in a bad

paper is like a man who stutters trying to recite Gunga Din."

Frank Gibbs, of the Gibbs Lum'ber Company, Anaheim, spoke on "Community Co-operation in Advertising." He mentioned the work carried on by the California Fruit Grower's Association, which he said was the largest example of co-operative advertising carried on in the United States. He theq spoke on the co.operative advertising, carried on by the retail lurnber dealers of Anaheim, at the Anaheim Orange Show, and the full .sheet lumber advertising carried on by the dealers in the Anaheim newspapers. He also gave some interesting information on local community advertising carried on by the various organizations and city retail dealers in several different sections of the country.

The last subject for discussion in the morning session 'was on Financing rthe Home. B. A. Edwards, Northern California Building and Loan Association, gave some excellent information and ideas on this su,bject in his address, "The Great Over-sight." His talk was followed by a gen(Continued on Page 14.)

eral discussion on this subject by the convention, which was led by W. E. Landram, of the Merced Lumber Co., Merced.

'Cost Accounting opened the afternoon session, and the first speaker, was H. J. Colman, of Wolf & Company, Chicago, on the "National Uniform Cost System." Mr. Colman spoke on the history of the system and why. it was adopted; the fundamentals and principals upon which it was foirnded; the results that the dealers may expect from it; how yor can obtain it and approximately what it will cost to install it. Other speakers on this subject were Ben Reed, Lum,ber Association of San Francisco, an'd E: T. Robie, of the Aubur,n Lum'ber Co., Auburn.

E. D. Minton, of the Minton Lumber Company, Mountain View, spoke on "Should Lumber Retailers Charge For Delivery." He told of conditions affecting this questi,on in his locality, and as not over 5 per cent of his. customers came to their plant for,their lumber, he favored quoting delivered prices to their customers. He quoted figures from their office records and stated that 3 1-3 per cent addition to the regular quoted price would cover this cost of cartage.

C. H. Griffin, Jr., of the Homer Hayward Lumber Co., San,ta Cruz, said that the lowest cartage charge for his district was $1.50 per M feet. He stated that 35 per cent of their material was called for at their yards, and that it paid the individual dealers to analyize their own business along their own f,ines and to figure out the proper basis for themselves. He quoted figures from the offi,ce records of their various yards showing that it cost them more to deliver the lumber than they actually collected in cartage.

Dr. Carol Aronovici, of the University of California, spoke on "The Place of the Home in City Planing." He said that the lumbermen should influence the anchitecture,

and the standards of construction, to the end of making homes attractive, and should not confine themselves to the care of the raw product. Mr. Aronovici said 'that the cost is not the essential thing as he has seen some of the ugliest homes costin,g as high as $50,000.00, and some of the most beautiful as low as $8,000.00. He characterized the modern collapsible homes.and kitchenette apartments as "doghouses" and "bungling courts."

Alberta Ruth Brey, Brey-Wright Lumber Co., Porterville, gave an excellent talk on "The Romance of the Retail Dealer.'f She said that "in the United States the 'ideal of the nation is thi Home, and selling the home from. the Plan Service, both exterior and interior, is where I claim lies the Rom,ance of the Modern Buil'ding Material Merchant." She stated that a lumber store withou a plan service is like an American breakfast without coffee. Miss Brey said that a Real Plan Service demands a service department. It demands sorne one that is actually trained to know what is in the Plan Books, what arrangements are best, and that it riquires a lot of patience and enthusiasm to help these prospective customers what they want. She described fully the Plan Service in use by the Brey-Wright Lumber Co., and in closing her address, suggested that when the retail dealer gets home, that he get the 'plan books off the shelf, dust them, tuck them under his arm and go down the street and visit their real estate dealers. and show them that they have something besides lumber at your stores and the results will be surprisin,g. Miss Brey advised the dealers to trythe romancing end of the retail lumber business; she said you will find that it pays.

H. S. Stronach, manager of the industrial department of the West Coas't Forest Products Bureau, spoke on "West Coast Woods." Mr. Stronach gave some interesting figures on the consum,ption of lumber in the United States and

Faith Hope-and Shingles

By JACK DIONNE

Goodness, but the gang has been reading the two first shingle editorials.

' I've been getting a lot of letters-good letters-and the beauty of it is that practically every one is a CONSTRUCTIVE letter, offering suggestions for the good of the cause.

I got one from one of the ,biggest producers of quality shingles in the entire world. He says he has just returned from a long trip into the shingle consuming territories in many states, and he brought back with him this conviction

-THAT

THE MERCHANDISING OF SHINGLES

MUST BE ENTIRELY RECONSTRUCTED IF THE SHINGLE INDUSTRY IS TO SURVIVE. He adds that he is going to reconstruct HIS part o,f it, pronto.

So that opinion is unanimous as far as he and I are concerned, because that's what I've been telling them in seven different languages-not including profane-for quite some time.

Another very interesting letter came from a nationally known eastern wholesaler. I am not mentioning the name of the shingle manufacturer just quoted, because of its possible effect on his business. But there is no harmful possibility with regard to this wholesaler, who is none other than our friend Dwight L. Hinckley, of the free city ,of Cincinnati, Ohio. He com,pliments us on the shingle editorials and suggestions, and makes the following one himself:

"I have a suggestion to make which would in my opinion soon put the shingle business on its feet and promote the sale of shingles to such an extent that it would be profita- ble to manufacture them, and profita,ble to sell them. As

you know there are few wholesalers who ever attempt to sell any shingles (rMr. Hinckley means in the north and east as in the west they nearly all sell 'em) for the reason that the wholesalers have never ,been able to make a profit out of shingles that justifies them in handling them. Now, if it were possible for the wholesaler to get enough profit out of handling shingles to make it desirable business and desirable to push the sale of them, almost every wholesaler in the country would sell a great many shingles.

"The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association alone has about six to seven hundred members, each of whom, I imagine, em,ploy on an average of fouf salesmen, which makes about twenty-five hundred salesmen, and if every one of these men were engaged in talking shingles an'd pushing shingles, and selling shingles, it would notrbe long before the demand for shingles would be substantially increased, and when the demand is increased the price goes up. My opinion is that if the manufacturer of shingles would give the wholesaler a propei differential in price that the effect above mentioned would result. If the manufacturers would quote retailers a price and give a concession to the wholesaler of ten per cent, which is a fair and reasonable profit for the wholesaler to make, I think that most of the wholesalers in the country would begin handling shingles. I am just giving you this idea for your reaction on it, criticism or suggestion. I believe myself that it would do more good than all the national advertising campaigns that the shingle manufacturers might put on. The publicity advertising is going to help a lot, but if it is

(Continued on Page 18.)

..IS THAT A GARAGE OR A HEN HOUSE''?

This question has caused many a neighbor such embaffassment that he swears he'll put his auto in a dugout.

Right here is your chance to win his everlasting $ratitude and ease his mind.by telling him how he can convert this eyesore into somethin!, artistlc with a covering of REDWOOD shingles; or if in a rustic settlng, wtth REDWOOD sawn shakes.

Whenever you catch a man with a buddin$ scheme for a g^rage., tell him what REDWOOD does; the beauty of its natural color, its resistance to extremes of weather, its non-rottin$ qualities.

And don't forget to tell him about its absolute freedom from oil, pitch and resin,-hence its fire retardence.

Then, when he's ready for repairs on the old home,--or for construction of the new,-he'll ask you-

I am going to leave this suggestion for the shingle folks to mull over. I would like to hear from some of the manufacturers on the subject of Mr. Hinckley's suggestioor.

There are signs of chan,ged thinking along shingle selling lines noticeable in many directions. They are not ripe yet to tell about, butwe know of a lot of interesting things in prospect right now, having to do with several well known shingle making concerns, which prove that SOME OF THEM at least, are planning to try something new in the way of merchandising their pr,oduct.

CITY OF BERKELEY PASSES NEW ROOFING ORDINANCE

The new roofing ordinance of the City of Berkeley, which has been under discussion si,nce the Berkeley fire, was passed,'by the city council at its meeting on October 16. Councilmen Nichols and Caldecott protested the new ordinance on the following grounds: it allowed the use of r.oofing materials, namely Class C materials as approved by the IJnderwriters, which seem to be no more fire-proclf than were wooden shingles, and the ordinance in eliminating the use of shingles to repair wooden shingle roofs would unnecessarily increase the cost of repairs to a very large majority of propertv owners who might ill afford such increased, costs.

The new ordinance in effect prohibits the use o.f wooden shingles in all new constructioin thr'oughout the entire city cif Berkeley; it prohibits the use of wooden shingles for thg repair in any one year of more Ihan 25,per cent of existing shingle roofs; andiit prohibits absolutely and entirely, the use of wooden' shingles for the repair of any shingle roof after ten years frorn the passing of the ordinance.

Judge. J. J. Murphey, counsel for the shingle and lumber interests, in closing his protest against the passage ,of the ordinance made the following significant remark: "I have no hesitation in stating to this Council, that my clients are so firmly cofivinced of the discriminatory character of this ordinance, and the fact, that the majority of the residences of Berkeley do not wish to be denied the use of shi.ngles for roof coverings, that my clients are not disposed to accept as final the judgment of the Berkeley City Council."

Both Councilmen Nichols and Caldecott expressed themselves in favor of the proposed ordinance drawn by the lum'bermen and su,bmitted to the Council by Mr. Nichols, but which was defeated by the City Council. This ordinance, proposed by the lumbermen, allowed the use of built-up tar and gravel roofs such as allowed under previous ordinance; it allowed the use of Class A, B, and C materials as a,pproved by the Underwriters, and in addition allowed the use o.f clear, all heart, 100 per cent vertical grain, 5 to 2 shingles provided they were placed on solid sheathing and ,nailed with specified nails.

The campaign against the passage of the new ordinance prohibiting the use of wooden shingles has 'been carried on by the California Redwood Association, California White and Sugar Pine Association, the Shingle Branch o,f the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, and the California Retail Lumbermen's Association. These organizations were represented at the various meetings of the Berkeley City Council by R. F. Hammatt, C. Stowell Smith, A. Bevan, of Seattle, and A. B. Wastell. The above associations were also represented by J. J. Murphey, an attorney of the City of Berkeley.

In conjunction with the passing of this new roofing ordinance by the City of Berkeley' R. F. Hammatt, secretarymanager of the California Redwood Assqbiation, announces that every retail lumber dealer in the State of California should have received from the Redwood Associatio,n the following literature; (1) copies of all advertisements used in the Berkeley daily newspapers ; (2) copy of the brief as submitted to the Berkeley City Council; (3) a short history of the situation. Mr. Hammatt states that this information is sent to the retailers because it contains the pols'ition of the lumber industry and new arg'uments which the retailers themselves can use in combatting any local antishingle ordinances that may be brought up. He also states that the California Redwood Association offers its assistance to dealers anywhere in the state whenever anti-shingle ordinances are introduced.

MISSOURI SUPREME COURT REYOKES OUSTER

The Nineteen retail lumber firms in St. Louis Mo., who were fined and ousted from that state by the Supreme Court of that state, are paying their fines, but the order of ouster against them has been revoked. It holds against the St. Louis Lumber Exchange, however, whichl goes out of business.

Just what happened seems a mystery. On Saturday, October 6th, The Supreme Court of Missouri entered what.seemed to be final action in the lumber case, denied all motions to modify its former judgment. The vote stood four to three in the, Court.

On Monday, October Sth, the Court reversed its de' cisiorr of two days previously, one of the judges having switched to the side of mercy, and the count stood four to three for modification. It was ordered that the ouster be vacated against the 19 individual concerns, but allowed to stand against the Exchange, and that the $96000 fines be all the punishments for the defendants.

This apparently ends the case, and the fines have been or are being paid.

CurtisWilliams Honored at Hoo-Hoo Meeting

Thursday, October 18th marked one of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Club, since its inception.

About sixty of the faithful, with several guests,, gathered on this day, with Mr. C. S. Estes of the J. O. Means Company acting as the chairman.

Mr. Estes had arranged the meeting to be in honor and a compliment to Mr. Curtis Williams, who acted as Vicegera,nt Snark for the Los Angeles District, last year, and who had so ably lead the organization to the high rtank that thi.s district holds in the cduntry.

. In very fitting terms, Mr. Estes told Mr. Williams of the appreciation, admiration and love that HooHoo, to the last man, felt for him, and that Hoo-Hob realized the obligation that it owed to the man who had done so many good things in his brief term o,f office. He said that it was only fitting that Hoo-Hoo should make its appreciation evident by some material ofiering to Mr. Williams, to be a constant reminder of the feelings of the members'

1f In the name of the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo' Mr. Estes /presented Curtis with a very handsome pair gf binoculars, - engravecl in gold with the name otf the order, and carrying thq message of good will from the members.

Curtis was given a "Nine" such as was never heard before. The boys were on their feet and they surely did put some volume into their call, given for the man who deserved everything that he received. Cliff then introduced Mr. Henry Millar, of the Millar Advertising Agency, Los Angeles. Mr. Millar gave the'boys a very interesting talk on "Advertising and Merchandising." He was well received. The Snark disposed of the business of the day.

David Woodhead, reporting for the golf tournament committees, explained what had been done in the way of arrangements, and set the date for this next afiair for Friday, November 2nd. The members decided by vote to hold it at the Wilshire Country Club.

The Club appointed a committee of three to draw a rese lution ofiering the sympathys of the club to Mrs. Ralph Thielan, on the death of her husband. The committee was also instructed to send flowers. A resolution was passed, ofiering co,ndolences to the C. Ganahl Lumber Company, on the loss by fire of their Alameda Street,plant, and offering the cooperation and help of all the mem'bers, in any way that they could assist while the rebuilding was under way.

The fire, starting in a paint factory adjoining the offices of the lumber yard, spread with remarkable speed to the alleys, and fanned by a stiff wind, soon had the entire yard and mill in a roaring flame that was uncontrollable..

; This yard is situated in the city of Vernon, wlrere they have very little water supply for fire fighting, and the engine company that responded to the alarrn,, from Los An-r geles, were unable to give much of a fight.

' It is understood that the Ganahl Lumber Company had about eight million feet stored here, this with the loss of ihe mill and trucks, will mean a loss of about a half milIion dollars, which is partly covered by insurance.

Says Non-Advertiser Is Dead-Right

"The man who says advertising does not pay thinks he is dead right, and he IS dead-right."

So writes J. H. Peterson, famous retail and wholesale lumber merchant of the state of Ohio, and the city of Toledo. He heads the D. J. Peterson Lum'ber Cornpany, a concern that has done as much as any other one lumtber concern to prove the theory that advertising building material pays.

The above remark is from a letter Mr. Peterson recently sent his trade, which reads, in part, as follotws:

"We advertise up to the limit of our ability and for two reasgns: '

"First: We handle only superior lumber productS, 'The Pick of the Trees,' and we know the public will buy themi if we call attention to them.

"Second: It gives us the volume of business that enables us to sell on a smaller margin of profit.

"We handle advertised products, nationally advertisedproducts such as Irong-Bell lumber, Curtis Interior Millwork, Bruce Oak Flooring Creo-Dipt Shingles, and Cornell-Wood-Board. These are standard high grade products of established quality and known merit. If they were not superior; no amount of advertising could hold for them their position as market leaders.

"You can rely on Peterson stock. You can rely on Peter'i son service, and you will always find Peterson's prices right.

"Give us that next order. We will deserve it."

Very truly yours, The D. J. Peterson Lumber Co.

'W'm. Smith Co. fnstalls New Kilns and Sheds at Their San Francisco Yard

The Wm. Smith Company, of San Francisco, .ha completed the installation of two ne.rv dry kilns and stor-age shecls, this pr,ogressive lur.nber company is now able to offer its customers an excellent service.

Two of the latest type of Cutler progressive kilns are in fu,ll operation and have a capacity of 500,000 board feet per month. The company has excellent facilities for loading, the lumber coming from the kilns can be either transferred direct from the kiln trrrcks to cars for shipment bv rpil or run into the sheds, thus eliminiating unnecessaryl handling. In conjunction with their kilns, they maintain a kiln test roorl, and by close observation of the kiln records accurate drying is assured and very little waste is lost through checking.

Adjoining the dry kilns, are the sheds for storage purposes where a large stock is always carried, which means quick shipments at short notice. The sheds are 775tx75.', have concrete floors, and a storage capacity of abo,ut a million feet. Tracks running through the center of the ,sheds makes loadi,ng in car-load lots very convenient.

In addition to the above improlements, the company is now constructing a new yard at Oakland, which will be located at the foot of 19th, Avenue. The present Oakland yard is located at 1st and Clay Streets.

The Wm. Smith Company, of which Wm. Smith of San Francisco,, is preside,nt carry on a large business throughout California. They also maintain an office and yard at Los Angeles, from which point they look after their"southern California business. /

NEWS GATHERED FROM LUMBERMEN-FOR LUMBERMEN

WORD TO THE WISE

The following is reprinted from the last bulletin of the U. S. Epperson Underwriting Co.

The mill is at its dirtiest at the end of the week and therefore most susceptible to the start and spread of fire. The mill which lias the DUST BLOWN DOWN and the rubbish removed on Saturday afternoon will 'be less likely to catch fire than that one that is left dirty. It will be easier to stop flames in the clean mill. A thorough cleanup on Saturday afternoon or Sunday is also a good thing because it means the presence of men when the regular crews are absentso'meone to help the watchman give the alarm and to take instant action on a fire outbreak. The three chief ,reasons why mills burn is because they are duqty, greasy and-littered; because no one. acts quickly enough to check the flames at the outburst and because something is wrong with the protective apparatus. WEEK-END CLEAN-UPS, WEEK-END INSPECTIONS OF THE FIRE EQUIPMENT AND THE PRESENCE OF DEP'ENDABLE WATCHMEN WIIL LESSEN THESE SUNDAY FIRES !

Are you dqing your part to avoid them ? Or will YOUR mill go next?

REDlvOOD

George Stephenson, prominent Los Angeles lumberman, was a recent San Francisco visitor while en route to Southern California after spending four months in New York on business. Mr. Stephenson reports the lumber situation in New York is good, and that building operations there would be much more active, but for the labor situation. He says that there is a great shortage of brick-layers and plasters in the ,metropolis, and the demand for West Coast lumber would be much greater, but for this labor shortage.

Some Gorgeous New Paint Publicity

The "Save the Surface Campaign" bureau, of Philadelphia, which has been doing so much to interest the people of the nation in more and better painting, has jusd issued a new cooperative sales and advertising booklet Ior 1924. I't's a beauty,, an'd is loaded down from cover tobover with selling and advertising ideas, suggestions, andr helps that will unquestionably do a great deal to increase the use of paint next year. Genuinely fine stufi on which we congratulate the campaign committee headed by Mr. Arthur M. East, Chairman.

There are loads of interesting paint facts that the paint booster can use to advantage. The first thing the new book does is to show that there is not'less than one hundred and eleven billions of dollars worth of paint-using and paint-needlng property in the Unite? States all of which needs its surface proterted and beautified ,by PAINT. soME JOB.

Then it outlines a campaign to double the use of paint and varnis! in the United States by L928. A fine mark to set. Yet it CAN-it WILL-be done, with intelligent boosting.

'We are shown that only 25 per cent of the surfaces that need saving in this country, are really being paint-saved, and that the other 75 per cent are going begging. Evident-

ly plenty of room for paint selling. What d chance for the lumber merchant who sells paint. l'here may not be a single house bill in immediate sight in his town right now, 'but there are hundreds of prospective and possibletFAINT jobs in sight, ALL THE TIME.

When business is slow-SELL PAINT. There isn't a prettier selling game in the building business, than paint selling. You can sell people TI{ROUGH THE EYES in the paint game, just as keenly as in any other possible line. It is doubtful if there is ANY other line of selling efrort in which a visual demonstration of what the thing offered can do makes so marvelous an apparent IMPROVEMENT in the other fellow's property, as'does a coat of paint.

And a neat paint stand in the lumber officb is attractive, and pleasing to the eye.

Show your paint stock. Don't keep it hidden. Don't keep ANYTHING hidden that you want to sell.

Mr. Lumber Merchant who sells paint, write to the "Save the Surface Campaign" at Philadelphia, and ask for a copy of the new 1924 sales and advertising'booktet. It will "pep" up your paint sellinS just to read it thnough, and will be a good thing to have around the office.

THE HOME STRETCH OF STANDARDIZATION

Washington, D. C., October 20.-Referring to the call that has been sent out by Chairman John W. Blodgett, of the Central Committee on Lum'ber Standards, f'or meetings of that Committee and the Consulting Committee at the Congress Hotel, Chicago, October 30 and 31, the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association made the following statement.

The meetings of the Central Comm,ittee on Lumber Stgndards and the Consulting Committee in Chicago, October 30 and 31 will, it is hoped, mark the beginning of the last phase of the program to introduce universal standardization into the manufacture and distribution of lumber.

The preliminary work of the Consulting Committee, of the various manufacturing, consuming and distributing group committees and of the Central Committee itself, has now covered the ground so thoroughly that the situation is maturing for final disposition. The Chicago meetings are expected to result in the near future in the submission to all the departments o'f lumber production, distribution and utilization of a final report for their ratification in a general conference and individually.

NETTLETON LUMBER COMPANY ADDS STR. ROMAGNE TO FLEET

For seryice in the lumber trade between Puget Sound and Southern California, the California department of the Nettleton Lumber Company of Seattle has chartered the steamship Romagne. The vessel will be operated in the mill-to-dealer service inaugurated more than two years ago.

The Romagne; Capt. Ed C.ourtney, will 'ply in conjunction: with four other vessels under charter to the Nettleton' Company's California department. She is ,a steel ship of 1,200 net tons, owned by the Lind Navigation Coryrry of San Francisco, of which Norman Lind is presidenl The Romagne has a carrying capacity of 1,850,000 feet.

At the preSent time and for months, the California department of the Nettleton Company, headed by Lee R. Gaynor, Jr., has operated four or more ships in the Cali-,. fornia service. The vessels'are the steamships Santa Inez, Brookdale and J. C. Kirkpatrick and the motorship Frank Lynch. In addition to these vessels other carriers have been chartered for on€ or more voyages when the demand for cargo space justified.

The California department of the Nettleton Cdmpany since the first of the year has shipped ,between 12,0m,000 and 15,000,000 feet of Douglas fir to Southern California ports each month and, from present indications, this monthly average will be maintained and pro{bably exceeG ed. During the last few months sailings from Sound ports to California have averaged one every fourth day.

Tells Hoover They Can't Fix Lumber Price

Secretary Hoover was asked by the Japanese Government to take steps to see that when that Government enters the American field seeking lum'ber to re,build devastated Japan, there would be no profiteering as b result of the large need of our island neighbor.

Secretary Hoover promptly sent this suggestion to the big manufacturing associations, asking them to arrang'e so that no excessiv'e prices be charged for Japanese lumber needs.

The Southern Pine Association, with headquarters in New Orleans, was one of the organizations that received this message, and they promptly wired that they were sure the Japanese would ,be able to purchase their lumber needs for reasonable prices, but that it was impossible for their association, under the law, to have anything to do with arranging or fixing or restricting prices.

This was a very pertinent remark, since the Federal Government has been very, very busy for many years making certain that the Sopthern Pine Association keep its fingers out of the price fixing business. As a matter of fact The Southern Pine Association is still under Federal indictment for restricting competition a few years ago, and the case is still hanging fire. With the Government

continually watching to see that they have nothing what€ver.to do with price making, it must have seemed rather strange when Mr. Hoover's request seemed to want them to take a hand in price arranging of some sort.

Of course the other manufacturing associations will feel the same way, since they are all in the ,same boat. Only two years ago the Federal Co,urts decided in the famous Hardwood Case that lurnber associations cannot exchange any information that has the effect either directly or indirectly, of fixing or arranging prices. Likewise many of the Northwestern lum.ber mills have been investigated during the past year to see if they have not been bieaking the law in their exporting activities.

With so much history behind them the mill associations are not likely to do anything of any character to interfere with 'lum,ber prices just now. Needless to say, all righ.t thinking men are unwilling to make profit out of the terrible calamity that has befallen the Japanese people. The natural law of supply and demand is likely to get in its work, and if the demand is heavy this fall, lumber is likely to strengthen somewhat. Nevertheless, ths Japs will be able to purchase their necessities for " u.ry -r.asonabl price.

stated that the reason for the decrease in co,n,sumption was due to the use of substitutes and the increased costs. In referring to'shingles, he stated that the use of 100 per cent vertical grain shingles would prevent the legislation prohibiting the use of shingles. He said that 'there is too much of the so called peddling of lumber; many salesmen do not know anything about the characteristi'cs of lumber, as a result poor lumber is sold, and in this way the substitutes get their chance. He gave the figures on the total stand of timber of the Pacific Coas't, and referred to it as "The Last Stand,". also he compared the physical characteristics of douglas fir with other species. He said that he had found instances in the East where sap pine had been used for sash, and the use of this quality of lumber forr this purpose had resulted in the substitution of metal sash. Mr.

that the shingle interests were nst goi;ng to, take the action of the city council as final and that they were going to go the limit in this matter. He also referred to the Los Angeles proposal to legislature against shingles in tha! city, and said that the Shingle Branch of the Association would cooperate with the lumber interests of that city in both money and men to fight this proposed ordinance. Mr. Beven said that the use of poo,r shingles was the result of the many of the complC.ints against the use of shingles, and if better and thicker shin-gles were used that half their troubles would be over. He also spoke on the importance of using the proper kind of nails in laying shingles. He dsked the dealers to inspect the th'icker and heavier shingles that were on display at their exhibit at the convention.

B. A. Hanawalt, of Los Angeles, also .spokq on the pro-

Stron.nach.stated that the retailer should cooperate with the manufacturer and give the consumer the best possible lumber for the best possible use.

A. Bevan, of the Shingle Branch of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, spoke on Red Cedar Shingles. Mr. Bevan said that this was the first opportun,ity he had had to thank the retailers and lumbermen of the State of he California for the grand victory they won last fall in defeating the state referendum to prohibit the use of shingles. He stated that the situation was again 'becoming cloudy and referred to the ordinance recently passed by the City of Berkeley; in regards to the Berkeley s'ituation, he said

posed Los Angeles shingle ordinance. He said that the ordinance had not yet reached the council but that it was their intention to defeat this proposal before i( got to their city muncil. He stated that the lum.bermen of Los Angeles had appointed a Vigilance Committee to.work on this matter, and asked that the State Association assembled' pass a resolution against this proposal so that the lumber interests could get a proper hearing before the Los Angeles City Council. He suggested that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the City Council of Los Angeles, and that the

Council tarke no action until thc. shingle interests had an opportunity. to present their case.

Otto J. Rist, sales menager of the F,ire Retardent Product Co., Oakland, spoke on stained shingles and gave tests on stained shing{es with a lighted torch, stating that proper tre4ted shingles belong to Class A classification. He explained the various metliods ernployed in applying the use of retardent paints, and said that e fight {or the use of treated shingles wou'ld eliminate all talk of prohibiting the use of wooden shi.ngles.

.8. J. Boormen, B@rrnan Lumber Co., Oakland, said that every effort $culd, be made to put the'lumber business on a higher plane as it was the greatest business on the face of the earth. He spoke of the Berkeley ordinance against shingles, and criticised the Berkeley city government for failing to stpply the proper watef supply and other facilities for fighting fires. He also gave an excellent talk otr the proper mefchandising of lumber.

In the evening, the annual dinner and Association's First Birthday Party, was held in the Gold Ball Room, of the Palace Hotil. A. B. Wastell, ,manager of the California Retail Luntbermen's Alsociation, acted as toastmaster, and M. A. Harris, of San Francisco,-made an excellent address of welcome. Several short responses were made by lumbermen from variouS sections of the state and an excellent entertainment was also provided. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Joseph A. Stephenson, of San Jose, who made an inspiratlonal .address on "Service and Cogperation."

Following the dinner, dancing was enjoyed by a larlge gathering. About 350 attended the dinner an'd a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all.

The Saturday morning session was opened with President Pinkerton in the chair and the first subject fo! discussion was "Why An Association." A. L. Porter, of'the

Western Retail Lurnbermen's Association, Spkane, was the first speaker and dur,ing his talk stressed on the savings to his members through their traffic and insurance departments. Jessie Eggelston, secretary of the California Rretail Lumbermen's Association; spoke on the opportunities of the State Association and how,it could function without interferrence to the local lumbermen's clubs.

Short talks were also made by Fred Connor, Sacramento ; E. D. Tennant, Los Angeles ; J. C: Ferger, Fresno; an'd E. T. Robie, Auburn, on market conditions in their nespective sections.

Rate Reduction to Southern California to be Contested

Application has been filed with the Interstate Com'merce Commission by the Los Angeles Lumber Products Co. to suspend the proposed rate reduction from the Oregon territory to Southern Califoirnia on the grounds of discrimination and undue prejudice. The Larson Traffic Service of San Francisco, in behalf of the following lumber shippers and producers; Algoma Lumber Co., Frank P. , Doe Lumber Co. ; Tarter, Webster & Johnson, fnc. ; The Dwight Lumber Company; Santa Fe Lumber Company, Wendling-Nathan Lumber Company; E. U. Wheelock, Inc.; Fletcher & Frambes; Curtis Williams, and Hooper & Smith, have requested the Interstate Cornmerce Commission that the suspension of rates to be effective October 31, 1y23, be denied on the grounds that they believe the adjustment to be non-discriminatory, reasonable and harmonize in a general way certain past disadvantages existing iri ratbs previously in effect. In their pro- test against the suspens.ion of the new rates, the above lumber concerns maintain that the production and selling of domestic lumber and products should be encouraged and that such a suspension would hold up rates i,ndefinitely to the detriment of the consumer.

The Buttonlath Manufacturing Company has been granted by John Schumacher and Joseph.-E. Schumacher, ihe owners of the Schumacher patents, a license to manufactur€ Buttontath-a Plaster Lath-under Schumacher Datents on a royalty basis provided each piece of Butionlath is duly itamped with the words: "This board is manufactured under a license from John Schumacher and Joseph E. Schumacher in accordance with their patent dated March 21, 1916."

No Wall Board license has been granted, therefore the manufactured of Peters Wall Board has been discontinued by the Buttonlath Manufacturing Co.

SCRUB TEAM $TIOWS LOS ANGELES WHOLE. SALERS HOW TO PLAY BALL

The base ball'game between the Los Angeles retailers and wholesalers, scheduled for Saturday afternoon, Octe' ber 20th, came off as per schedule, not however with the line ups as had been arranged.

G. A. BAUMAN RETURNS TO PHILADELPHIA

G. A. Bauman, Philadelphia manager for the Charles R. McCormick & Co., has returned east via Los Angeles after spending a few weeks in San Francisco on business. Mr. Bauman is well known in California and prior to his going to Philadelphia, represented, Charles R. McCormick & Co., in the San Francisco Bay District.

JOHN OLSON VrSrrS THE BAY DTSTRTCT

John Olson, Los Angeles manager for Charles R. McCormick & Co., was a recent San Francisco visitor where he spent a few days in the company's San Fran'cisio office on business. Mr. Olson states that'conditions in the Los Angeles District are good and that building operations continue very active there.

Through a misunderstand,ing of dates, the retail team failed to tnake an appearance, with the exception of one mem,ber, by name Calvin, of the C. Ganahl Lumber Company. The wholesalers turned out in full force. and rather than be dissappointed in having their ga,m,e, organized an emergency team from the onlookers at the park.

The game was one oI the prettiest amateur battles ever witnessed anywhere. The wholesale team was composed of : Hanawalt, Bowles, Bookstaver, Slade, Wilson, Cook, Ross, Masters and Atkinson. These fellows have practised hard and have gotten themselves into such shape that they should form a regular Hoo Hoo team and go out after some of the other'amateur teams in and around Los Angeles. These boys took the strangers on and started out in the lead in the fifst frame with four runs, led o!ff,by a sensitional hom,e run clout by Hanawalt. The other team evened ug the score in thb third, and it was then a close run until the end of the ninth when the score stood 1l to 7 with the wholesale team in the lead. With two men d'qw.n, and one on base, a series of hard hits brought in ths required number of tallys to down the lumber team, with a final score oL 12 to 11, the "Temple Street Speclals" ahead. The attending crowd was not as large as it m'[ht have been' there being less than a hundred of the boys on the grounds.

Russell, of the Santa Fe Lumber Company, San Francisco, was the speaker of the evening at the monthly meeting and banquet of the Richmond Builders Exbhange at Richmond on Friday evening, October 12. Mr. Russell spoke on BETTER SHINGLES pointing ont to the gathering the value of vertic,al grain heavy butted shingles. After his talk, the builders inspected the heavier vertical grain shingles, wh,ich included 3-Z 18", 4-2 24", and 5-2 l-4 18", which Mr. Ru.ssell had on exhibition at the meeting. He also advised as to proper method of laying the heavier shingles on roofs and side-walls, and it was the consensus of opinion among the gathering that if the heavier shingles were in constant use that there would be less opposition to the use of shingles. The Builders Exchange have a large menrbership, consisting of all the lumbermen, contractors, and rnaterial men of the Richmond District.

lumbermen friends "Babe's" presence, and why he is occupying such a prominent position in his wareh-ouse. Naturally they think that he is using the lion for a'dvertising purposes, and that he has probably added a special LION BRAND of plywood to his stock of goods. But here is how it all happened. When Homer moved into his new quarters a few weeks ago, he found "Babe" an occupant of the place, and until such time as his owner can find suitable quarters for him, he is making his headquarters with I lomer.
