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.
