Plastite is particularly suitable for concrete exposed to water pressure. It is being euccessfully used for floors, tunnels, basementsr r€s€r. voirs, and swimming pools.

rfHE wind,driven rain beats vainly against walls protected ^ byPlastitewaterproofed cement. No moisture can pene' trate these flint-like surfaces. Nor wi[[ the hot sun crack them.

Furthermore, Plastite protection is perrnanent.Concrete or stucco made from this material grows harder, more dense and impenetrable.

I-Jse Plastite for walls, basements,swimming pools' reservoirs' and a[ work where permanent resistance towater is desirable.

Plastite has all the properties of the best portland cement in addition to being waterproofed and plastic.

Plastite is for sale by the leading building material dealers in Southern California.

SECOI\D.HAI{T) TUMBER IN ORDER TO GET DRY STOCI( FOR EXPEI{SIVE HOMES.-..

A. J. Russell, Santa Fe LumberrCompany, San Francisco, Calif., sent out to the trade in his territory aletter boosting the use of Kiln Dried Fir Common lumber

He received an answer from Sidney B. Newsom,leadingarchitect of San Francisco, and a manwhobuilds m?ny,expensive homes, in which that gentleman made the following amazing statement:

.WE ARE VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN SAME ASWEHAVE BEEN USTNG SECOND.HAND LUMBER FOR JOISTS, PLATES AND GIRDERS , rN YtlI FINE HOMES AND WOULDRATHERUSE NE$t DRY LUMBER''.

This is probably as significant a case as has ever come to light. Thisbuilder of fine homes wanted dry lumber for his framing, so he bought used lumber from wrecking companies, rather thanlthe green stock that was available. This architectpreferred ts'put secgnd-hand dry lumber into expensive homes, than new green lumber.

Such cases point the real need that exists, for a ;nuch greater production of dry lumber.

Thereshould be dry lumber for every p.r"oorl available in every building locality. Builders of fine homes should not be compelled to use second hand lumber in order to get dry stock.

A well known lumber manufacturer of the State of Washington has recently returned from a six wccks trip through the middle west, where he clcieely investigated conditions. Returning, he said: "My observations caueed me to decide that my frrm will never again ship unseasoned lumber into the Middle West".

Some Splendid Rules and Directions for Points of Contact

Bt Jack Dionne

Much has been said in this department in the past about the "point of contact" between a business concern and the public, and the importanie of every person in every business who makes a public contact, and is therefore one of the principal items by which the visitor judges the firm and the business.

.

No better set of rules and directions for making better contact points of employees has ever come to our attention than the following, which were issued toits clerks and tellers by The Hampshire County Trust Company, of Northampton, Mass., and which apply beautifully to lumber, merchant as well as to bank employees. Study them over. They are worth while.

l. " Be agreeable. You are the contact point between the banks and the depositor. You make the bank's reputatio4 in the mind of the depositor.

2. Know your goods. The depositor expects you to be able to answer any question about you,r bank. Selling the service of the bank requires a thorough knowledge of bgnking practice.

3. Don't argue. Somebody once said that the customer is always right. If that is applied reasonably it isa pretty good motto to live up to.

+. Make it plain. You know the reasons for asking depositors to fill out certain forms or to do certain things. There is nothing mysterious about it, so explain it to them.

5. Tell the truth. The reputation of your bank is on your shoulders. Neither you or your bank can afford the slightest doubt as to the reliability of your statements.

6. Be dependable. If you promise to do something for a depositor, do it.

7. Remember names and faces. There is nothing more pleasing to a depositor than being gree ed by name. It makes him feel at home.

8. Dodt be egotistical" Most people are naturally, but you are at the counter to sell bank service, not to make a good personal impressiorl.

9. Think success. Radiate prosperity. Talk about successful things and people. Don't be a grouch.

10. Be human. If the bank merely wanted to disseminate information it would use a catalogue.

Paul rHallingby,,;

.fhe fifth annual convention of the California Retail Lumbermen's $ssociation was held at the Senator Hotel,, 53g{arrrent% on/ October 21, 22, and 23, The conyention was largely attended, and it was one of the largest representa- tive gatherings of lumbermen ever assemlEa in the state, their being over 400 in attendance. It was a very successful convention and much constructive legislation resulted from the two day business sessions.

The members of the Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club showed the visitors that Sacrarnento is an ideal Convention city. There were several delightful entertainment programs fot the ladies who attended the Convention, consisting of bridge luncheons, sight seeing trips and an inspection trip through the State Capitol. There was always something of interest for the men folks to do when they were not in business sessions. Too much praise cannot b; given the members of the Sacramento Vall-y Lumbermen's Club and their wives for providing such a delightful program for the visiting lumbermen and their families.

The business sessions progressed rapidly and there were

THURSDAY MORNING

The Convention was officially opened by President C. .W. Pinkerton, Whittier Lumber Co., Whittier, at 9:30 A. M.

President Pinkerton introduced Captain Baldwin, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., San Francisco, who gave an excellent talk on the historical development of the P. G. & E. Co. He stated that the company has 12,000 employees, and discussed the educatioqal work in hydro.electricity that is carried on in the various branches of their organization, also describing in detail the company's large Pitt River Power Project. His remarks were illustrated by stereopticon pictures showing the development and progress of the P. G. & E. Co., frorn its beginning to their present large Pitt River'opera- tionp. California will have a populatiorr of 10,000,0fi) people in'1950, he stated, and the pres€nt development of the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. has been based accordingly.

many excellent addresses, talks and discussions on subjects relating to the retail lumber business. Among the subjects disgussed were "Credits and Collections," 'jGrade Marking and Certified Lumber," "IJniform Building Code," "Local Association Management," rtl6attut"cturers Selling to Con. tractors" and "DiscuEsion on Side l-ines and their Relation to Volume."

At the annual meeting of the Board of Directors, Paul Hallingby, Los Angeles, was elected President. Elmore King, Bakersfield, was elected Vice President of the Northern District, and Chas. P. Curran, Pomona, was elected Vice Presidenl of the Southern District. J.E. Neighbor, Oakland, was rdelected Treasurer, as was J. E. FraJer reelected Secretary. Mr. Hallingby is one of the prominent lumbermen of the state, has always taken an active interest in the state association affairs, and the Association should prosper under his leadership.

The first two days of the Convention were devoted to the business sessions, while on the third day there was the competitive golf tournament.

C. G. Bird, Stockton Lumber Co., Stockton, and vicepresident of the Northern District, was introduced and prestded over the morning session.

_The gathering was welcomed to Sacramento by John A. Miller, Vice Mayor, and E. C. Porter, Secretary-Manager of the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce.

Mr.Miller in his address said that Sacramento was the birthplace of the lumber industry in the state of California, referring to the old Sutter mill, built in 1859 and the first lumber mill in the state, and located near Sacramento. He referred to the Capitol City, as the "City Beautiful," calling special attention to the beautiful State Capitol grounds with its wonderful collection of ornamental trees. He suggested that trip! be made to the State Capitol, art gallery, state library, Fort Sutter, and other of their many pointi of interest. fn closing, he stated, "We want you all to have an

Elected, P-fesidenti

enjoyable time and a feeling that you will want to return to SacraRrento again," '

"Sacramento is now in a period of.development, is rnaking wonderful progress, and we ate glad to have you with us," Mr. Po:ter stated. In referriirg to th€ -wonderful' development of the city; he stated their population had doubled in the last eight years and during the year 1925 their building operationp reached the $11,000,000 mark.

'The response was made by G. F. Hoff, Manager San Diego Materialmenls Association. Mr. Hoff stated, "we appreciate this double welcome to Sacramento given us; and when we leave we will know that we have not been in a strange la4d but among ,friends and will be glad t<i return.'l "When I see this room filled today with lumber. men, you can see the remarkable change that has taken place in the lumber business in the past few years," he asserted. In speaking of the lumber business of today, he stated, that 1926 is the banner year in building in the United States, the building operations from January 1 to the present time are nearly $6,000,000,000, and now ranks with agriculture, mining, and the other larger industries of the couqtry. "It is getting nearer to be the industry of the country, we must act,accordingly, and the day is coming when the Golden Rule will prevail in the industry," he stated.

He urged the highest standard of ethics in the treatment to customers, and the proper treatment and cooperatio4 towards cornpetitors, which he said comes near the true ideal of the lumber dealer.

S. E. Mack, Secretary Material Dealers Credit Association, Sacramento, addressed the meeting on "Credits and Collections." In opening his remarks, he said that on their letter heads they have a slogan-"every sale is a loss until collected."

He discussed the various kinds of accounts that the lumber dealer comes in contact with which he classified as follows:

1. Transit buyers.

2. Regular Contractors.

3. Speculative Builders.,,

He also made reference to the Mechanics' Lien Law, Shying that efiorts were bbing made today to draft'a nart laiv by Secretary Hoover. He stated that the present Califortila

law can be improved on but the lumbermen do not want the law changed. To eliminate the "fly-by-night" contractors, he stated you want the priority of your lien,rights.

Mr. Mack recommended the creation of a trust fund to carry out tho financial transactions in building operations, and predictpd that speculation building would ultimately be conducted on a "clearing house plan."

In discussing "Legislative Outlook," Dudley Chandler' Los Angeles, referred to the good work accomplished by the representatives of the Association on the Mechanic Lien Law at the last session of the legislature. He stated that thirteen bills on the Lien Law were presented at thq last session. He said that the preseFt law is good and by

A PRACTICAL TAIK

Why do YOU stand the loss in air dryrng lumber in your yard?

Why do YOU go to the expense of "sticking" your lumber piles?

Why do YOU sell dimension, surfaced unseasoned that is necessarily uneven widths and thicknesses?

Do YOUknow how much you lose every month and every year through the deteriorationof grben lumber in your yard?

Do YOU know that green, unseasoned Common shrinks on an average 3rl2Vo in width and thickness?

By Jack Dionne

A lumber salesman of the keenest va-riety, long experience and fine thinking capacity, carne in the-other-<lay, and we spent a couple of hours just talking about lumber merchandising.

That is, he talked and I listened, because he was telling of the things he is encountering on his daily rounds, and he was loaded with good ideas.

"I am, as you know, thoroughly sold on lumber merchandising," he said, "and it sure grieves me to see how far behind some of the lumber dealers I call on-the majority of them, in fact-are, even yet, when it comes to doing constructive things of a merchandising character.

"Of course, there aren't any lumber yards any more. There isn't a single one on my present list that would come under the heading of 'lumber yard,' as we used to know them. They are all department stores for building materials. They carry everything in addition to lumber and shingles. They try to have everything a man comes in and asks for.

"But their greatest trouble, as I see it, is that they are too prone to sell the man what he asks for, regardless of how unsuitable the thing may be for the purpose. I think one of the wisest phases of merchandising building material is for the dealer to discover what the material is to be used for, and then make suggestions for best supplying that

n-eed, regardless of what the prospective buyer's original thought had been on the subject. Knowing his goods and their uses, the dealer can often reqder a great service by making suggestions. But this very thing, the average lumber dealer is slow to do.

"The other day I was in a retail office when a customer came in and bought a bill oflumber. His list called for exact items and species of lumber, and the dealer sold them to him, and took his order witho,ut a suggestion of any kind. At least oqe of the items on the list was as utterly unfit for, the purpose for which it was to be used, as anything could possibly be, and I looked for the dealer to tell him so, as he went over the list. But Mr. Dealer said never a word.

"When ihe customer was gone I mentioned that particu- lar item to the dealer, and asked him: ,Why didn't you tell him that stuff was no good for the use he is going to put it to? You have plenty of stoc.k that would have served his purpose.'

"And the dealer answered: 'Oh, that guy is over,twentyone years old, so why waste my lifetryingto change his mind about what he ordered. He probably wouldnit have thanked me if I had, and we would simply have had an

Corporation Tax Reduction Essbntial

Frank Wisngr, go-getting Mississippi lumber manufacturer and executive of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, is a strong advocate of corporation tax reduction, and in pleading the excess of the present tax rate, he uses the following very excellent illustratior\:

First, the cattle is shipped to market, and the railroad that does the hauling pays l3l per cent on its earnings.

Then the packing corporation dresses and sells the hide, and the packing company pays l3/2 per cent on its earnirtgs.

Third, the hide is shipped to the tannery, and the railroad that hauls it pays l3l per cent on its earnings.

Fourth, the hide is tanned and the tanning company pays l3l per cent on its earnings.

Fifth, the leather is shipped to the shoe factory, and the railroad that hauls it pays l3/2 per cent on its earnings.

Sixth, the shoe company makes the shoes, and, pays l3/2 per cent on its earnings. -

Eighth, the retailer of shoes sells them, and he pays L3l per cent on his earnings.

And who does he sell them to? Who buys the most shoes? Why, the common people, of course..The average.working man is the fellow who actually pays thattax, over and

over and over again. And HE is the fellow who should be interested in tax reduction, and over-weight of taxes.

It looks to this journal as though the reduction of corporation tax in this country should not be postponed a day longer than is necessary, and that there is no longer any real ngcessity for postponing that issue. They should come down sharply for the year 1927.

There is every evidence that the present tax rate will create a considerable surplus, and a surplus of money in Washington is simply an urgent invitation to the government to do some extra spending. A reduction in taxes and a cutting down of the surplus will be an urge toward economy.

The present tax rate is too high, judged from every practical viewpoint. Let's cut it to 10 per cent, effective the first of January.

SEATTLE SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF PORTLANDIN BUILDING PERMITS FOR 9 MONTHS

Value of building permits for the first nine months of the year places Seattle a little ahead of Portland with $26,4O3,800 for that period. Portland's figures were $26,301,925. The cities occupied third and fourth positions among cities of the Pacific Coast for the first three-quarters of the year.

"And'that," said my salesman friend; 'ts the way most of them feel, according to my observation, and, of course, it's wrong. It hurts the lumber business, because when that item falls down on the job, it helps a substitute to come in. I have seen many specific instances.where this happened.

"I think the dealer who sells a man a thin, cheap shingle for his roof, without explaining to him the small difference in cost and the great difference in value between that and a good shingle roof, is the worst enemy the shingle business has, with the exception of the man who makes the bum shingles. Shingles that will cup, curl, crack and wear away under hot sun and severe weather conditions, should only be sold after an intelligent effort has been made to educate the purchaser as to what he is getting.

f'I think there is greater need than, ever before for intelligent work on the part of the producer of lumber to see that it is properly presented to the consurner, because of, the fact that the dealer has become a general building merchant, and is becoming more so all the time. Intelligent trade exteqsion efforts are more necessary that ever before. The physical merits and shortcomings of each species should be well known. Whenever a man buys a board of a certain species for a certain use, and that board fails to perform the functions expected of it because it vt'as the wrong kind of ,a board, the lumber business has been hurt, and the substitute business has been helped. And that ls being done very frequently.We need more known quantities, more

The morning session closed with a general discussion on "Credits and Collections," with special reference tq the "Trust Fund" as a means of carrying outthe financial transactions with speculative builders. Closer cooperation between the Building and Loan and.Materialmenli Associations was recommended to solve this difficulty and the matter was referred to the Resolutions Committee for proper action.

p:oper-i4tetpretation of the Co.de of Ethics on this point as thd'only effective way to solve this sribject. With'the use of charts, he showed the progress that had been made on this subject at the several meetinls of the Central California Lumbermen's Club and the-joint meeting between the Central California and the Sacramento Valef Lumbermen's Club during the past year. He stated that both clubs had an Inter-Relations Committee for the discussion of such problems common to both districts and he urged the various clubs to cooperate and work together wittr ihe ob- ject of eliminating this practice.

President Pinkerton appointed the followiqg to act on the Resolutions Committee:

George Hoff, San Diego, Chairman.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON

Paul Hallingby, Hammond Lumber Co., Los Angeles, and Vice President of the Southern District, presided over the afternoon session.

The session was opened with stereopticon views illustrating logging, mill, and shipping scenes in the Redwood industry which were very interesting and instructive.

"Manufacturers Selling Direct to the Contractor" uras discussed by W. H. Falconbury, Falconbury Lumber Co., Stoclton. He stated that this was one of the most important problems facing the lumber business today. Manufacturers and the dealers can not agree on the matter, he said, and he suggested that the Ass-ociation should have a

Several suggested that the various clubs ippoint committees to cooperate and followup these complaints and if carried ortt L00/o would be effective and the piactice eliminated.

"Grade Marking and Certificatio4 of Lumber Grades" was discussed by President Pinkerton, Whittier Lumber Co., Whittier. Mr. Pinkerton said that if the Association went on record as endorsing Grade Marking, it would have a lig effect on getting the mills to agree on this matter.

Referring to the Grade Certificate, he said that the Certificate Plan is now in use in twenty-five towns in the state. At the convention of the Building and Loan, League of California held during the past summer at yosemite; at which conference he represented the Association, he advised^that they pass a resolution favoring the Grade Certificate Plan.

Following his address there was a general discussion on the subject of "Grade Marking" which resulted in a motion being passed calling for a referendum vote by mail of all

And the reasons for that are obvious. Long-Bell trade-marked oak flooring assures economy and lasting satisfaction.

support the Pacific Coast Building Inspectors conference until the final draft is made, and if favorable, they will endorse the movement. He informed the meeting that at the present time a distinct opposition movement to get up a new code is under way but that the lumber interests are not inclined to support a dual movement at this time. Lumbermen ca4 help out in this movement in their districts, he asserted, by seeing thattheir building inspectors become members of the Pacific Coast Building Inspectors Confepence; to see that their city sends their inspectors to the regional and anngal meetings, and to see that no new Building Code is adopted until the final draft of the Pacific Coast Code is favorable and can be adopted by your city.

In opening his discussion, Mr. I{orner said that the lumberme4 should endeavor to educate the public on the matter of lumber grades, and in referring to the Certificate Plan, he stated it would be a great thing from the building inspectors standpoint.

R. F. Hammatt, California Redwood Association, and A. C. Horner, former building inspector of tho City of Stockton, spohe on the "tfniform Building Code."

Mr. Hammatt spoke on the recent conference of the Pacific Coast Building Inspectors at San.Jose when a final preliminary draft applicable toall Pacific Coast cities was adopted. He advised that a "Uniform Building Code" will eliminate competition by legislation, also it will be bengficial in that the building material men will have one source to go to qut over their message rather than presenting matters before city officials, building inspectors, etc. The "IJniformBuilding Code" will establish aq Arbitration Board where methods of settling disputes will be impartial. He stated that the position of the lumber industry is to

fn considering the necessity for the adoption of a "flniform Building Code," he said that among the many points to be considered are proper building regulations for public health and safety, fire protection and the protection of property and the prevention of conflagration hazards. Mr. Horner stated that a "Ifniform Building Code" would aid in reducing fire and insurance rates, and he also discussed in detail the functions of building inspectors.

In citing the many advantages of a "Uniform Code," he engmerated the following:

l. It will include the combined experiences of 65 cities on the Pacific Coast.

2. Provides a greater chance for enforcement.

3. Would assist the architects and contractors, especial- ly in the metropolitan districts of San Francisco and Los Angeles.

5. It wiU create a higher standard of health and safety.

6. It will reduce the cost of building to the tax payer. In closing he stated that there is only one "Ifniform Building Code" that is not selfish or biased and that is the code of the Pacific Coast Building Inspectors, and with the aid of the combined efforts of everybody involved that its adoption will be successful.

Following a general discussion on the subject the following motion was passed: that the Association endorse the work of Pacific Coast Building Inspectors conference and thata committee be appointed by the Association to cooperate with them and when the final draft of the "Uniform Building Code'r is prepared that it be sent to the various lumbermen's clubs in the state for endorsement.

t1aHBnp were good reasons why the FOREST LUMBER COMPANY, one I of the compaiies of the EXCHANGE SAWMILLS SALES COMPANY

Union Lumber Company Mills at Ft. B Hundred Mi

The Union Lumber Company, of San Francisco, one of the oldest, most substantial, and most respected sawmill firms on the Pacific Coast, operates three big and modern sawmill plants, manufacturing Redwood, in ealifornia.

These three mills are locatld at Ft. Bragg, Glen Blair, and Mendocino.

_ T!" chief milling unit operated by this concern is that at Ft. Bragg, which is one of the molt modern and efficient mills in the Redwood belt, producing over fifty million feet of Redwood annually.

.Ft. Bragg is located on the ocean front, giving the sawmill and sawmill town one of the most attlactive and delightful locations on the whole coast. There is 18 feet of water right at the mill docks, where vessels oflight draft may load, and a short distance away on the coast the company 9ry1 and operate their own over-head wire loading port which they call Noyo. Noyo is a part of the Ft. Bragg plant, and serves both the Ft. Bragg and Glen Blair plants-. Here they have installed the most modern equipment for the safe, efficient, and economical loading of lumber over a wire, the ships being very lvell protected from the open sea by bluffs that project into the ocean.

The milling plant atFt. Bragg is a most complete and thorough one. The sawmill itself is equipped with three band headrigs and three resaws. The dry kiln equipment is sufficient to enable them to dry about one thirdof ttre product of this mill, as w,ell as a lesser percentage of the product of the mill at Glen Blair, where there are no kilns. The planing mill is a most efficient one, but goes no farther into the remanufacturing of lumber than the making of siding, ceiling, trim, tank stock, etc. In other words, lt is strictly a sawmill and planer operption, and not a remanufacturing proposition. This planer tdrns out more than 50

million feet annually, and is the biggest thing about the Ft. Bragg plant.

Ft. Bragg belongs entirely to The Union Lumber Company, and every modern convenience for the comfort, safety and e'ntertainment of their employes and their families, is to be found there. The town is located on the line of

S.S. Kalla

Glen Blair and Mendocino Cut Over

Annually

the California Western Railroad and Navigation Company, which belongs to and is operated by the owners of 'fhe Union Lumber Company, and which furnishes the rail outlet to the world for the product of the Ft. Bragg and Glen Blair mills. This railroad runs.from the ocean front at Ft. Bragg to the main line of the Northwestern Pacific

Jlailroad. the linethat taps the entire Redwood district. Through this outlet The Union Lumber Company seeks the rail trade of the entire United States, and through their loading port of Noyo, they seek the water market w,ith the product of these two mills.

The Glen Blair mill is operated by The Glen Blair Redwood Company, which concern is owned by practically although not identically the owners of The Union Lumber Company. The Glen Blair mill is located 12 miles inland from Ft. Bragg, on their own railroad line, and the lumber is shipped through Ft. Bragg.

The Glen Blair sawmill is likewise a big one, although not as large as that at Ft. Bragg. It is equipped with two band headrigs and supplementary modern equipment for the efficient handling of the product of the tu/o bands. Here there is just the sarvmill. There is ho planer and no dry kilns or remanufacturing facilities. The lumber to be dressed.and dried is handled for this purpose when it arrives at Ft. Bragg, the planer at that point being of sufficient size to serve both mills.

The Glen Blair mill cuts an average of 20,000,000 feet of Redwood annually, but it has never been the policy of the compahy to push this particular production heavily, as this mill could easily cut a great deal more lumber than it does, and can be made to do so whenever greater production is desired.

Glen Blair, like Ft. Bragg, ships its water stock through the loading docks at Noyo, and itsrail deliveries over the California'Western Railroad and Navigation Compagy.";i*

The third plant of The Union Lumber Company,'.ffiffitirely separati from Ft. Bragg and_Glen Blair, being loia'f&l on the ocean front at Mendocino Harbor, and is owned and operated by a subsidiary of The Union Lumber Company,

UNION LUMBER COMPANY Continued

the Mendocino Lumber Company. This plant has no rail connection whatever, its entire contact with the world being by water through Mendocino Harbor. It maintains its

bors at Noyo and Mendocino, and the ports of San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The Union Lumber Company own enough virgin Redwood timber adjacent to these three mills to keep them in continuous operation at their present rate of production for about fortv vears more.

And Ft. Biagg has been operating continuously for more than thirty years already, and all that time under the same

thirty-five years. His son, Mr. Otis Johnson is Vice-President, and executive assistant to his iather, taking much of the load from the shoulders of the elder man.- Another 1-r_owerful character, one of the strongest in the Redwood field, is associated with Mr. Johnson in the handling of the qany affairs of this great concern in the person-of Mr. Hugh M. Cochran, who still bears the title of General Sales Manager, but who is very much more than a sales manager, having been a powerful executive in this concern for many years. He has been with The Union Lumber Company gbout thirty consecutive years. Over thirty years ago Mr. C. R. Johnson took into partnership with him in The Union Lumber Company I\{r. W. P. Plummer, an experienced Redwood manufacturer. Mr. Plummer retained his interest until his death a number of years ago, and then handed it down to his very worthy son, Harold Plummer, who stepped into his father's shoes, and has been actively associated with The Union Lumber Company ever since he left school, and has built for himself through hisown fine character and ability a fine place in the institution as an executive lieutenant of Mr. C. R. Johnson.

So it will be seen that men do not just come and go in The Union Lumber Company, the two older executives of the concern having been with it more than thirty years. and the two junior executives throughout their entire lives.

At the mills also, strong men ar€ in the harness. The great plant at Ft. Bragg is under the capable management of Mr. Fred White. At Glen Blair Mr. Ernest Sinclair is in charge. And at Mendocino Mr. R. D. Swales is the man on whom they put their dependence.

There are many other interesting men around the Union mills. There are two more of the White family, brothers of F. C. White, Manager of Ft. Bragg. J. F. (Jack) White

is manager of rail sales from the mills, and L. C. White is Auditor at Ft. Bragg, both live and likeable young men. C. M. Adams is Mill Superintendent at Ft. Bragg, and one

His hobby is the interesting history of Mendocino County, which he knows by heart. Eaton Grimes is Mill Superintendent at Mendocino and Ed.

game and are making a fine success of their jobs.

An interesting thing at Mendocino is a house built from the first Redwood log sawn at the Mendocino plant, which was in 1851, seventy-five years ago. It was cut at the original Mendocino plant by Harry Meigs, who went into Mendocino Bay with a party of prospectors and traders, and a small sawmill equipment. .The house still stands, in a good state of preservation.

All of these men, in San Francisco and at the mills, are devoting themselves to building the name and fame of The Union Lumber Company. .And so well have they built that the name has come to mean much in the Redwood world in terms of integrity, conservatism, dependability, and general worthiness. And so it will undoubtedly be forat least a generation to come.

F. D. Prescott said that in looking back through his thirty years in the lumber game, when he first started that with the exception of lime, they only carried products of lhe tree. Today he said.there are around 650 retail lumber yards in the state, of which probably 15 per cent confine their business to lumber alone, while 85 per cent are deal.: lng in things that dq not come out of the log. In many instances, he stated, 50 per ceht of our investments are in products other than thg products of the log, but if we do not carry these produc"ts somebody else will and get the profit.

Mr. Prescott stated that it is facts that the lumber dealers are facing, as many products such as wall board are nationally advertised, the people like it, and if we do not carry it in stock somebody else.wr.ll. Regarding,the selling price of side lines, he said that few could be sold for less than 40 per cent over cost and in some instances it rvas necesdary to charge over 50 per cent.

About30 members of Hoo-Hoo convened on Friday rnorning for breakfast to discuss matters of interest peitaining to the Order. C. D.

In another instance, he was forced to carry nails, and although it required much detail, he said it was working out nicely.

The lumber dealer cannot have any,apology for putting 'in "side lines" that go into the lumber business, he stated, and to hold up the volume of business we have to cater to the trade whether they are products of the tree or not.

A,general discussion on "side lines" followed in which many valuable.points were brought out. The general opinion expressed was that the dealers have to supply the community with what they demand. As to what "side lines" the dealers should carry, it was pointed out that conditions in each town should determine whether or not dealers should carry "side lines".

FRIDAY EVENING

Dinner was served in the Pomperian Room of the Senator l{otel at which many delightful entertainment numbers and orchestra selections were provided. Following the dinner, dancing continued until I a.m.

SATURDAY MORNING

Saturday morning twelve ,husky golfers registered at the course for the finals in the tournament.

Many more mashie welders had played in the qualifying round Friday, but either through lack of courage or their inability to stay over; didnot show up Saturday for the final play.

An urgent telegram was sent to Secretary Isherwood at St. Louis requesting thatthe Parson be retained on the Pacific Coast until after the first-of the year so that the plans to be followed out in the Feather River and Redrvood Districts and in the Klamath Falls District, Oregon, can be carried to completioq.

ANNUAL SOUVENIR PROGRAM

The Annual Souvenlr Program and Year Book which made its appearance at the Convention was a very attractive book, containing 74 pages. The rbook contained several pages carrying valuable information onthe "Mechanics' Lien Law of the State of Califotnia", under the title "Answer to Questions", the same being compiled by Attorneys Glen Behymer and R. G. Horton of Los Angeles. The book also contained the program of the Annual Convention, together with a list of the retail yards in the state. The book should be a valuable asset to all lumber offices. It was compiled under the supervision of J. E. Fraser, secretary of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association.

The arrang'ements for the Convention were in charge of the Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club with C. D. LeMaster acting as Chairman. The General Reception Committee was made up of members of the Sacramento Valley Lumbermen's Club with the following acting as members of the committee: Jo. H.

ROOFING PLANT BUSY

With the executivrdivision of the Los Angeles Paper Manufacturing Company irow occupying their new administration building, and the output of asphalt roofing and paper products ptepped up to capacity, this million dollar plant is already in the midst of their winter rush of orders, according to N. T . Brinker, director of sales.

An idea of the increase was given by Brinker when he pointed to a'truck and trailer just pulling out with a load of roofing and paper for the harbor.

{lThere goes abottt 20 tons on that load," said Brinker. ,"Beiore we install'ed our vapor circulator to keep our steam drying drums-follin( at capacity speed, We could., turn out onlf about 24 tons,'a day, jrlst a little tnore than'you see ).oril,ijtrat toaa.

.r. '1Notw we turn out enough in the same time to fill that $,ruck and trailen,,,twic'el.,a1inosf .as full.,as,, it tS:now." ,'ii',The load indicated ruas a siN-wheel ,truck and six-rvheel ti'ailer piled as 6*h wilh. rolls of asphalt"rbqflrrg and build,ihg paper as the.diiver iould m.ale it 'ivith safcty, and then h'e did considerable foping before he startbd for'the harbor. i'f "The present layout ofout plant is the culmination of '2$- years' steady growth;r' continued Brinker. "For. many y'b-ars we specialized on the manufacture of high grade rag f,61ts. As demand increased for prepared roofing and shingles'we began to experiment and finally evolved a line of felt-base asphalt treated roofing and shingles with variogs ,sirrface finishes ihat have.met with widespread popularity alnong leading contractors and build,ers, under thi designation, El Rey asphalt products.

^

.,"As demand increas'ed we ddded more eqdipment to incredse our output, until today we have one of the finest plants in the country. We guarantee our roofing to rvithstand all w,eather conditions from 10 to 20 years, according to the number of plys used, providing the job is done ac-

cording to our specifications. We also keep the roofs in condition during the period of the guarantee.

"Since the menace of dry rot and boring ants to wood structures d,oes not afi,ect asphalt products our demand has naturally grown rapidly, until now we are shipping regularly to Hawaii and the Orient as well as to many local districts."

"Jimmie" Cline Furnishes Good . Hoo Hoo Meeting

The October 2lst meeting of the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club was poorly attended, but was one of the best meetings in months and the backsliders missed something.

Mr. Jimmie Cline of E. J. Stanton & Son, Los Angeles, was: announc'ed as chairman, and arranged the meeting, but was'unable to attend on account o{ illness, and President I3yrne handled the gavel for him.

Mr. Bill Spaulding, football coach at the Southern Branch University of California, made a very interesting twenty-minute talk on football matters. Mr. Spaulding possesses a keen wit, and he had the boys doubled up most of the time with his tales of amusing things that have happened on the field,

The balance of the meeting was consumed in discussing proposed Golf Tournament and Concatenation, at Ventura or Santa Barbara.

Mr. Jack Dionc Editor, California Lumbcr Merchant Los Angelcs, Calif.

Dcre Jack:

lVe[ Jack, thcy is still selling boards and dimcntion lumbcr down in Orange Counfur, but thcy is not keepin the yards opqr at nights. Them b-ng thc casca thc boys gct a chance now and thcn t-q Push up to the tible and epaftd a little soop on there bcst ties. We had a-few boles of soop the othcr night. F'riday it was.+ll stagcd in stile at the Santa Ana Country club. Thc boys fetched along there female overhead and best gals, thc same being dresscd in shear hosc and the shearest nonsense, as they is doing in our parts thesc Halsecon days.

Jack, if you will pardon a personncl refrance, I want to say ttnt I am scnding ttris lettcr becausc they picked me out to cover the meeting. The lucky stiffst I'm too modest to say morc.

Well Jack, it was quite a large cvening. The boys dropped in from Whittier to San Juan Capistrano and wcigh points. The bugs on staytistickq tells me that 33 of thc a8 yards in the county sent thcre best appetites and that they was 98 head of good fecders on deck, all tolled.

Tho polyticks of thc wening showed no sines of ware, thc boys bein in favor of a lot of gresc on the skids. O. H. Barr was out front for thc nominashun comnr,itee, and all of Mr. Barr's ads say that oif it comes from Barr it is of the best". He offercd to name two tickets, tho, bein accomadating. The boys was so full of fried chickcn they didn't secm to give a dam, so it was one ticket. The sccretary wis instructed to give a younamirnus vote and hc cassed it.

A. C. Bowcrs of thc Adams-Bowers Lumbcr Co., Anahcim; Frank Gibbs of thc Gibbs Lumber Co.; Fullerton; J. L. Ainsworth of thc Costa Mesa Lumbcr Co.; John Strickland of Patton-Davies, Fullerton; A, J. Lake of the Garden Grove Lumber Co.; R. A. Emison of the Santa Ana Lumber Co.; and Guy Tylcr of thc Barr Lumbcr Co.,

Perfect MStching-

Whittier, was _c-hoosed thc ncr directors of thc Orangc County Lumbermen's Club. Thc boys thcn got there hcads toiethcr anil clccted Dick Emison as president, and-Jess Ainsworth'ae -vice prcsidcnt. Dick is only a young bird, but his hare ig all worc off-from worrying about ovcrhead, so they thought he was old enuf to be prcsidcnt Lon Ott, of E. K. Wooa Lumber Co., and Stefr Stefranson got hookcd again for the tresurc and sccretery job.

Lon told the boye they had $140 on hand,'so tliei decided to kill two birds in one bush, Jack. They voted to give Stcfr' the coin to pay his cxpcnsG to the state convenshun at -sackramcnto. 340 for ralcroad fair and $!fi) for grub. At the same timc, you iee Jack, thcy stgpped_ takin chances on Lon havin that much money hid under the sofie.

Vern Whitson dished up a program of musical nos. which was a wow. Maurice Phillips, what kids Charlie Chapman's customers out of thcre jack, sung a lot of sailor songs. We all got thru without no seasickness, including Maurice, who warbled a purty story about how sailor lads kisscs therc gale when they get back to-the old homc kcy.

In the busincss session thcy took a polc of them prescnt and picked out l^3 wich is sure of going to-sackramento.- Thcy also voted a lot of support to a new_distrybution policy on cement. - They voted on amendmcnt 22, ttF-o, Jack. I undcistand it will allow littlt sprigs to grow up-to big triei before they has to pay any amuse- mcnt tax for showin there limbs. Tlre boys was strong foi this.

Well Jack, the lads and gals danced and had a fine time, so they said. That's about all. I might add that, altho they talk'ed abodt am_endme_nt 2], they was nothing said or donc ionccrning the eigh-teenth.I went away from that place so dam dry I couldn,t think of nothing but the slump in cotton.

Hopeing you are ttrc samc, ram yours respfy

MR. LUMBER DEALER-

You sell tfie lumber and many of the other items that go into the consEuction of the home. Why not sell the flooring, too?

LJsually the mere mention of the fact that you sell flooring means an additional sale. The result is extra profits for you.

Particularly is this true if you sell JOHNSON HARDWOOD FLOORING. It is finding a rcady market because it is being extensively advertised to the retail trade; because of the reputation of the conpany behind it, and because invariably there's no grief associated with any JOHNSON FLOORING job.

LUMBER TRADE PROTESTS

West Coast Bureau Challenges Literary Digest LONGVIEW, Wash., Oct. 7.-The west'coast lumber trade extension bureau of which J. D. Tennant of this city is president, has wired a protest to the editors of Literary Digest for alleged disparagement of frame buildings r in picture captions in the October 2 issue. The telegram to the editofs of the magazine follows:

"The caption: 'What happened to frame buildings in Miami,' is not in line with facts quoted in the same..story by the Digest from the New York World on September 22, also the building at the left in your picture belies the caption. Our engineer on the ground making a careful study of the Florida damagQ reportg to us the same as early press dispatches that well-built frame construction survived'successfully and most of the damage was due to poor construction. It was most unfortunate that the Literary Digest, with millions of readers living in frame construction, should give the public an entirely wrong impression. If the caption stated that poor construction rvas the fault, it would have been in line with available facts and of benefit to everybody."

No reply to,the telegram has yet been received.

THE BENEFITS OF THE NATIONAL WASTE PREVENTION CONTEST

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-"Waste Prevention Contests have now been conducted long enough to prove conclusively that it is a joint enterprise where employer and employee benefit in many ways," says an announcement by the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association.

"While the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association has paid a total of $6,500 to individual prize winners in previous contests, the actual monetary return to these winners has been greatly in excess of that amount. Such increased returns have been made possible by the extensive publicity given the prize winning devices each year, their subsequent adoption by progressive lumber manufacturers, and the royalties received as the inventors of patented devices.
