WARREN fn two of his yards, Mr. Prescott said that he has put in.

(Continued from "Page 33) dealers of today should sell homes, carrying "side lines" in addition to stocks of lumber, thereby adding to the volume of their business. and resulting in more profits.

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.

a line of hardware and has been thanked by the contractors, who in these instances would have to go to tpwn for their hardware supplies and often lose much time in trying to ,find parking space. At these yards, he stated that he did not put in this line to compete with the hardware dealers, but simply as a convenience to his customers. 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.
