Selling Homes

By Jack Dionne

Your friend in his auto goes honking past, On a gasoline carouse, 'When you thought you had him hard and fast On the bill for a brand nelv house.

Ancl you sit in your chair, and heave and swear, And call it a "gol darned shame," Yet you 'rvouldn't believe, or even conceive, That YOU were the one to blame.

For the auto shark refused to hark

To a "No, I'm not ready to buy," But the ride of their life to that man and his rviie lle ga'r,e witl-rout mrlch reply. He shifted the clutch 'til they cried "Horv much?"

"It's certainly fine to roam."

Ancl you got beat cause you stayed on your seat And neglected to talk "A HOME."

New lssue o( "The Plywood Catalog"

The latest issue of "The Plywood Catalog," published in August by United States Plywood Corporation, is in a new form and more convenient than previous editions' All sizes of all panels carried in stock in all of their warehouses are listed in the marginal columns on each page' so that readers can tell at a glance exactly what sizes are available for immediate delivery and the additional sizes obtainable from other warehouses.

The detailed descriptions of the various woods should prove very useful to dealers in ordering panels from stock, and the many fine illustrations in the book give a good idea of the broad scope of the plywood panel field, and may suggest to some readers new channels to develop in their business.

A beautiful Avodire switch is shown on the front cover' Avodire is one of the most popular of the light colored exotic African woods. It is of golden hue and medium hard. A large quantity of Avodire panels was recently installed in one of the great assembly rooms in the Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh.

The United States Plywood Corporaiion's warehouses are located in 14 principal industrial centers of the United States. The Los Angeles warehouse is at 1930 East 15th Street, and the San Francisco warehouse is 119 Kansas Street.

Publish Distribution Maps Of 170 Important Forest Trees

Maps showing the distribution ol 170 forest tree species in the United States have been compiled by the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture in a new publication.

"Information on the range and distribution of forest trees has far-reaching practical usefulness to those whose work and interest are with trecs," says E. N. Munns, of the Forest Service, author of the publication.

For the period of more than 3O years the Forest Service has gathered data on tree species in the United States. Lumbering, fire and agricultural development have markedly afiected the original forest. In some cases these influences have caused an extension of the range of certain species, but more commonly the range has been restricted.

Miscellaneous Publication 87, "The Distribution of Forest Trees of the United States" may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. for 35 cents.
