As this is written (what is news today may be history tomorrow so fast does this perilous world move) press dispatches tell us Hitler is talking to both Russia and Italy about aiding his war program. Strange things happen, the alliance of the Communist and the Nazi, for example. But everr in this strange world it would be difficult to conceive that those Italian Catholics will ever join forces with the priest-Hlling Stalinists. That's asking too much. Which

By the first of January next, another great and interesting experiment in the developed use of wood products will be under way. At Lufkin, Texas, a huge paper mill is now rushing toward final construction which will manufacture nenrsprint paper out of Yellow Pine. Making kraft and other crude papers out of Yellow pine has been successfully accomplished throughout the South for many years. But various fiber characteristics seemed for many years to defy the best efforts of. dEvoted chemists and laboratory experts to traneform it into newspaper print. Science has again won a victory, horlrrerrer, and a formula was found that has proven completely practical. Yellow pine fiber becomes perfect newsprint through its use.
So the great $6,00O,000 plant at Lufkin is being built to do the pioneer work in making Yellow Pine into newspaper raw materials. When its success has been dgrn6nsfl6{sdand there are no doubts among those who know-it is more than probable that other such plants may arise, forming a formidable new industry in the South. It will, in fact, pioneer two new industries, one the manufacture of newsprint out of Yellow Pine; the second, raising, producing and delivering Yellow Pine to supply the capacious maw of the mills. The wise men who are building the Lufkin mill have figured on both factors and consider that the problem of supplying sufficient raw material is just as easy as their ability to make the high grade paper. So the world moves on'
I said in this column last issue that the history of the lumber manufacturing industry has been a history of heartaches. Here's why. I honestly believe that if the positive facts and figures could be produced they would show that for the past generation at least one-half the lumber cut and marketed HAS BEEN SOLD AT A LOSS. Sounds like foolish talk, but true nevertheless. f mean by that statement that it was sold for less than the salable price of the timber from which it was cut, plus the cost of logging, manufacturing, and selllng.
If I could make a friend tonight, I did not have at this day's dawn, One hand that held my fingers tight, One breast that I could lean upon; It would not matter what reward
hours have brought me on the way, If I could say "I thank Thee Lord, I know I made a friend today.,'
-Douglas Malloch. ***
Please do not understand my statement to mean that the sale of such lumber actually reduced the cash reserve of the manufacturer. In many cases, yes. We have all seen big milling concerns operate year after year and lose money out of their pockets most of the time. But the way the average lumber manufacturer sells lumber below cost is by disposing of it at a price that pays for the logging, manufacturing, and selling, but leaves as a margin to apply against the value of the timber less money than the timber could be sold for standing on the stumP. If a stand of timber has a market value of eight dollars a thousand feet, and the lumber it is cut into brings a price that allows the mill only five dollars for the stumpage' that sale is made at an actual loss to the manufacturer of three dollars per thousand. He is simply sacrificing his timber.
"But," you say, "a business man would not do that." Ah, yes, my friend-he would. He could not help himself. "He should close his mill," you may insist, "until such time as he could get a price for his p-roduct that would cover the value of his raw materials." Well, it does seem that way, but it doesn't WORK that way. There are many sound reasons why the lumber manufacturers have pursued for so much of their time a policy that from a plain business viewpoint sdems suicidal.
To begin with a sa*rr,iti oj"rion is NOT of a character
that can be operated or closed down at the caprice of the owner. First, there is the humanitarian side of the proposition. As a rule the sawmill is the only source of employment for its crew, and the people dependent on them for support. These people must live. If a mill tries to run one month and close the next, these people could not live. They must have comparatively continuous employment, else they must scatter and go elsewhere seeking employment. It is not feasible-not even possible-for new crews to be secured at will. So the mill o'ften operates and sells its lumber at a loss because it is not practical to' shut down.
**:F
Aside from the necessity of furnishing continuous and dependable employment for its employes, a sawmill is an awkward institution to close down for any length of time. You've got to keep a sawmill running to keep it in running order. If closed down it deteriorates faster and more completely than any other sort of industrial plant. It gets out of fix in all sorts of fashions. Shut a sawmill down just 60 days and it costs a lot of money to get it back in running order again. And there are other reasons why it doesn't pay to run a sawmill intermittently. Lots of them. It's poor business for a sawmill to get out of the market. It loses trade. It loses customers. So, market price or no market price-sawmills run. That's the way it has always
been. That's the reason why I say that fully one-half the lumber manufactured and sold in this country in the last generation has been sold below cost. Tough, but true!
In that one particular fashion, I am certain that the future history of lumber manufacturing will show an improvement over the past. Few manufacturers of the future will ever have timber that they can afford to give away. In the future the selling price of lumber is going to be a whole lot closer to the ACTUAL COST of the product than it has ever been before. They won't take $8 timber, go to all the trouble of cutting it into lumber, and then sell it for $4 any more. Poverty and tough times are good teachers. The lumber industry has learned from adversity. ***

A resolution urging lumbermen to exert every effort to defeat the passage of the California State Retirement Life Payment Act was introduced by Frank W. Trower dnd unanimously adopted at the meeting of Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39, held at Hotel Leamington, Oakland, October 23.
The resolution is as follows:
WHEREAS: The added tax (3/o on incomes over $3,000.00 per year and, 2l/o on food sales) proposed by the "lfam & Eggs" or "Thirty Thursday" law, will increase the cost of doing business and deter home building by increasing living costs; and
WHEREAS: These new taxes, as well as Social Security, California lJnemployment Reserves, and California Sales Tax are all preferred claims and must be paid, in full, ahead of labor and general creditors' claims; and
WHEREAS: The proposed State warrants are not legal tender and cannot be used to pay for merchandise purchased outside the State; therefore
BE IT RESOLVED: That Hoo-Hoo Club No. 39 of Metropolitan Oakland, in regular meeting assembled, October 23, 1939, does urge that all lumbermen exert every effort within their lawful power, between this date and November 7,1939, to defeat the passage of the State Constitutional Amendment, entitled "California State Retirement Life Payment Act."
Mr. Jack Dionne, California Lumber Merchant, Los Angeles, California
Dear Mr. Dionne:
There is something I've been wanting to say for years-I read every word in the California Lumber Merchant, including all the advertisements, and I know there are hundreds like me who keeo informed in this way.
In other words, or the. same ones again-I'm just trying to say, "thank you"-for a fine lumber journal.
Cordially yours, Jim Overcast, Strable Hardwood Companf, Oakland. California

Carl Blackstock, Blackstock Lumber Co., Seattle, and vice-president, National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, addressed the convention on "Our Changing Industry," giving his ideas of the new methods necessary for conducting a successful retail lumber business today. .He told about the radio program sponsored by his firm on which Ann Sterling talks daily to the women. The effectiveness of this program could be judged, he said, by the fact that lz,W people rvrote ,in when asked for their ideas for a model ho,me, rvhich was built from the sugg'estions re-
ceived. He concluded by saying "Stop talking to the men about home building."
M. E. Wank of Wank & Wank advertising agency, San Francisco, in a talk on "Residential Building Promotion" outlined the promotio,nal program of the FHA Better Housing Bureau of Oakland, w.hich has found that people are interested in buying complete houses-not parts. He said that the Bureau will gladly pass along its experience to other interested g'roups.
W. C. Bell, president of Lumber Promotions, Inc., and managing director of the Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, Seattle, who was responsible for the arrangement of the afternoon's program, spoke on "Management, Merchandising and Men." Mr. Bell told of the fine job being done by "Westerri Homes Foundation" in the Northwest, and said the West Coast Lumbermen's Association is willing to match dollar for dollar with any group that wants to make a similar effort to that being made by Western Homes Foundation. Mr. Bell stressed the importance of rnanag'ement and in talking about men said, "the men lvh<> are doing fine jobs of managing, merchandising and selling today have worked and are working hard to prepare themselves to do what they are doing."
"The Woman's Point of Vielv," was the subject of a splendid address by Mrs. Bess Gearhart Morrison of Lincoln, Nebraska, who advised the retail lumber dealers that their job is to sell the women, who spend 9O per cent of the money, anyway. She reminded them that they must not be technical when talking to a woman and urged they must never argue with a prospective customer if she is a woman, for "even if you win you will lose."
The International Hoo-Hoo Concatenation under the direction of Bert E. Bryan, vicegerent snark for Northern California and Nevada, and Larue J. Woodson, Supreme Arcanoper of Hoo-Hoo, was held directly after the conclu-

Nearly 194,000 new family dwelling units, costing $701,160,800, were constructed in cities of 10,000 population or more in the first eight months of 1939, a gain of 38.3 per cent in numbers and D per cent in costs over the same period last year, the Division of Research and Statistics of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board reported. Should the trend continue through December, residential construction in 1939 will come nearer to meeting estimated needs than in any year since 1930, officials said.
Valued at $105,491,60o, urban residential construction in August was 23.2 per cent higher than in July-an increase rvhich is considerably greater than the usual slight seasonal rise-and 35 per cent greater than in August, 1938.
The expenditures represented the estimated cost of 28,342 new family dwelling units under construction or projected during the month as against 23,479 units in July and 2I,126 units in the comparable month last year, according to an analysis by the board's statisticians of building permits reported to the Department of Labor.

Mr. Difford made the important announcement that as a result of research and development work done by his Association retail lumber dealers will be able to make and sell a prefabricated plywood house early in 194O. He said that a manual will be sent to each dealer showing how to build these houses.
A number of questions were asked of and answered by the speakers.
Friday Afternoon
John W. Fisher, of Fisher-Swartz Lumber Co., Santa Monica, president of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, presided.
John B. Knox, business analyst and investment banker, Oakland, gave an interesting address on War's Effect on the Economic Outlook." He predicted that this country will have in the near future the greatest boom in its history and expressed the opinion that the lumber industry has a fine opportunity to make some money.
Sam Hu.me. former director of California Crusaders, spoke on "American Citizenship-A Challenge." This address was a thoughtful analysis of the Retirement Warrants, or so-called "Ham and Eggs" plan, and the causes that underlie this and similar movements. He urged the necessity of defeating this plan at the election on November 7, and drew a vivid picture of the consequences to everyone in California in the event the plan is not defeated.
"What is Wrong with the Retail Lumber Business," was the subject assigned to President John W. Fisher of the Association. In his well prepared address Mr. Fisher gave his ideas of some of the things that are wrong with the retail lumber business. He showed by actual figures what it costs the dealer to cut prices, and the extra volume of business necessary to recover the gross profit lost when prices are cut. I,n concluding Mr. Fisher said in part:
"If you will pardon personal allusion I want to say I have spent over 43 years in selling lu,mber and during that time I have had more or less of the same kind of competition I have just described. I find it brings out the best in the
way of salesmanship, and then there is the satisfaction in knowing you can accomplish something when it is necessary.
"'We take pride in our yard, and in the fact that we have
l. O. Huadleya part in the construction of many fine homes in our city. Also that customers come into the yard in after years and tell us they like us, and the way we conduct our business. If I had a son, I would have wanted him to be a lumberman.
"I feel that every lumber dealer should be a member of the Chamber of Commerce and take an active part in all civic matters in his city. Also that he should have an attractive office, keep it clean, carry a good grade of'lumber and sell materials that he is not ashamed of. If he will do this I am sure there will be nothing wrong with the retail lumber business."
F. Dean Prescott, Valley Lumber Co., Fresno, director of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, made a report on activities of the National. He stressed the necessity of a larger budget for the Association and hoped
that a sound financing plan would be worked out whereby the subscription will be increased by $1.50 per yard. He said tl-rat all salesmen and executives who take the National's sales training course, "Tested Selling Methods," will find that the investment of $28.0O, the cost of the course, will pay big dividends.
C. W. Pinkerton, secretary of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association, Los Angeles, and chairman of the State Association's legislative committee, g'ave an interesting report on "Activities of the State Legislature." His statement that no bills were passed at the last session of the legislature that had a detrimental effect on the lumber industry demonstrated the fact that the committee has been very much on the job. Mr. Pinkerton warned members of the importance of the Association being represented at every session of the Legislature in order that the interests of retail lumbermen may be properly guarded.
W. K.

The horse and mule live thirty years, And nothing know of wine and beersl The goat and sheep at twenty, die, And never taste of Scotch or rye; The cow drinks water by the ton, And at eighteen is mostly done; The dog at fifteen cashes in Without the aid of rum or gin; The cat in milk and water soaks, Then in twelve short years it croaks; The modest, sober, bone-dry hen Lays eggs for nogs, then dies at ten. All animals are strictly dry, They sinless live and swiftly die; But sinful, grnful gentlemen Survive for three score years and ten.

Man owes his growth, his energy, chiefly to that striving of the will that conflicts v/ith difficulty, which we call e'frort. Easy, pleasant work does not make robust minds, does not give men a consciousness of their powers, does not train them to endurance, to perseverance, to steady force of will, that force without which all other acquisitions avail nothin.-William EU:y Channing.
Beautiful in the morning of our life
And beautiful in the evening, The sound of friendly feet upon the path That leads unto our door.
More lovely far than goods and gold, The clasp of friendly hand
And the deep look of loyal, loving eyes
After long parting.
Beautiful and good,
The music of the coming of the friend, Of the unspoken word, the unbroken silence That lies like a warm blessing On the heart.
In business the earning of profit is something more than an incident of success. It is an essential condition of successl because the continued absence of profit itself spells failure. But while loss spells failure, large profits do not connote success. Success must be sought in business also in excellence of performance; and in business, excellence of performance manifests itself, among other things, in the advancing of methods and processes; in the improvement of products; in more perfect organization, eliminating friction as well as waste; in bettering the condition of the workingmen, developing their faculties and promoting their happiness; and in the establishment of right relations with customers and with the community-Justice Louis D. Brandeis.
We canot define God or any of the real values of life. What is the vague thing called truth that is worth living and dying for? Beauty, truth, friendship, love, creationthese are the great values of life. Vl/e can't prove them, or explain them, yet they are the most stable things in our lives.-Dr. Jesse Herman Holmes.

"America's great heart is America's great strength." Basing its theme on this traditional heart impulse the Los Angeles Community Chest, simultaneously with many other communities in California, launched its annual appeal in C)ctober. The Community Chest is an exclusively American institution, its principles and objectives being assured of success only in de'mocratic countries.
D. J. Cahill, president of the Western Hardwood Lumber Co., of Los Angeles, has this message to give to lumber people throughout the state: "The highest humanitarian impulses motivate us toward allocating our good neighbor-charity budget funds to the beii possible agency of distribution. With our more or less intelligent knowledge of conditions today, when the number of needy is keeping pace with the growth of population, we feel that with perfect safety that our one contribution to the Community Chest----once each year-will be definitely and understandingly distributed among their accredited agencies and then used adequately for helping the unfortunate. Their preventive services too, mean so much to the community. Let us make our subscription generously worth while."
Community Chest campaigns opened in October include:
Alhambra, Fresno, Glendale (just concluded), La Canada, Los Angeles, Monterey, Reedley, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Ana, South Pasadena, Stockton, and Torrance. All these and others of the 50O Chests in America will have the opportunity to use radio transcriptions made by the Los Angeles Chest under authorization of the Community (National) Mobilization for Human Needs. Sixteen l5-minute records are made each year, in which the Chest ,message is presented, and stars and rated orchestras furnish distinctive entertainment.

Washington, October l4.-With liberalization of the Title I, Class 3 loan of the Federal Housing Administration for new home building costing up to $2500, the home-land program of the building industry has been given the "goahead" signal and the Brentwood-in-the-Pines Realty group of New York is one of the first concerns to move rvith the green light.
This organization, which built several Demonstration Homes during the year on their Long Island subdivision, in cooperation with the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and National Retail Lumber Dealers Association low-cost housing program, has adapted Nation Small Ifomes Demonstration design 2-A f.or construction under the new more liberal financing plan.
The design provides for two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bath. The kitchen has been enlarged by four feet increasing the frontage of the house f.rom 25 to D feet. This is the only change made in the original design. The house has a full cellar and a warm air heating unit. The cost of the house only is $2500.
The new FHA plan makes it an easy proposition to buy a home for the man who has a good credit rating. It approves loans up to $2500, over a maximum period of 15 years and 62 days. The borrower needs to have only a five per cent equity in the whole property-land plus buildings. This is a departure from the earlier provision under Title I, which required a clear land title. Now it is possible for
He builded a home on a quiet street, And planted a garden trim and neat, A shady pathway led to the door, And golden sunlight fell on the floor; The windows glowed when the nights were dim And spoke to the heart like an evening hymn.
The noise of the world seemed far away And peace dwelt there through the live long day; The doorways smiled as in welcome there And offered a refuge from carking care. The whole house seemed as we passed along Like the tender notes of a happy song.
And with grateful heart the builder knew That the work he had done was fine and true. With infinite patience and tender care He had builded a home that was like a prayer, And it stands by the roadside all day long And speaks to the heart like a beautiful song.

Distributed Exclusively Since l92l by
Washington, Oct. 5,-In a statement prepared today for the current issue of the Lumber Letter, monthly inter-industry business reporter, Wilson Compton, secretary and manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, urged those engaged in the building business to meet the sales challenge offered by America's rapidly changing industrial pace.
"Opportunism is the art of recognizing and taking advantage of favorable situations which come our wav. One of those 'situations' I think is in prospect.
"The European tvar has had a far-reaching effect on the economic life of the United States. Events of the last 60 days have altered the outlook for all industry. The rate of industrial activity in' the last two months, as shown in the Federal Reserve Board index, has mounted from 100 to 120. It is still mounting.
"Home building is not a war industry. But our market for small homes is dependent largely on incomes coming from other industries which are directly concerned with war trade.
"American business is now operating at a rate of production evidently the highest in ten years. This promises an increase in national income of the United States in 1940. More people will have more money. Fewer persons will be unemployed. If history repeats there will be a wider disposition to spend because of expected advancing price levels.
"Where will this money go? The answer will depend largely upon the salesmanship of the various non-war industries.
"Next year's extra funds may go for new automobiles, washing machines, radios and jewelry. It will not go into new and better homes for more people unless. the building industries are able to convince more Americans that a New Home is the Best Investment.
"Our own industry-manufacturers, distributors and retail lumber merchants alike-has made progress during recent years toward "Better Selling". For the first time in a quarter century-in the national aggregate-it is holding its own in competition with other industries and other materials. Furthermore, it has taken a leading part in mobilizing the interest and effort of the home-building industries toward More Ifouse for the Dollar. Only today we have received from one of the great Merchant Builders on the Atlantic C.oast notice of a large neza building project to supply modern small homes at $2500, financed under the new liberal F.H.A. Title I terms. War time is retarding some building but it is stimulating others.
"For years the lumber industry has been looking for a chance of this kind: A Sales Attack; not a Sales Defence. This depends on Sales Preparedness. Those who sell homes and materials for homes must do that job !"

Over the hill trailed a man behind a mule drawing a plow. Said the man to the mule: "Bill, you are a mule, the son of a jackass, and I am a man made in the image of God. Yet here we work, hitched up together year in and year out. I often wonder if you work for me or I rvork for you. Verily, I think it a partnership between a mule and a fool, for surely I work as hard as you, if not harder. Plowing or cultivating we cover the same distance. but you do it on four legs and I do it on two. I, therefore, do twice as much work per leg as you do.
"Soon we'll be preparing for a corn crop.. When the crop is harvested I give one-third to the landlord for being so kind as to let me use this small speck of God's universe' One-third goes to you and the balance is mine. You consume all of your portion with the exCeption of the cobs, while I divide mine among seven children, six hens, two ducks and a banker. If we both need shoes, you get 'em. Bill, you are getting the best of me, and I ask you, is it fair for a mule, the son of a jackass, to swindle a man -the Lord of Creation-out of his substance?

"All Fall and msst of the Winter the whole family, from Granny to the baby, picks cotton to help raise money to pay taxes and buy a new harness and pay the interest on the mortgage on you. And what do you care about the mortgage ? Not a damn, you ornery cuss ! I even have to do the worrying about the mortgage on your tough ungrateful hide.
"About the only time I am your better is on election day, for I can vote and you can't. And after election I realize that I was fully as great a jackass as your papa. Verily, I am prone to wonder if politics were 'made for men or jackasses, or to make jackasses of 'men.
"And that ain't all, Bill. When vou're dead that's supposed to be the end of you. But me? The parson tells me that when I die I gotta go to hell f'orever. That is, Bill, if I don't do just as he says, and most of what he says keeps me from getting any kick out of life.

Daniels as president. Huber F. Wise was re-elected secretary - treasurer. Mr. Daniels assumes the duties of president, in addition to his responsibility as general sales manager. Mr. Wise takes on the added responsibility
Mr. Birkelund will continue his principal active association of many years as vice-president and treasurer of Baker Frentress & Company, Chicago, which for more than a generation specialized in the financing and management of companies engaged in the production of forest products, lumber, pulp, and naval stores. He has devoted his business life to this field and is an ofificer and director of many well-known companies operating in the timbered regions of the West Coast, Middle W'est, and South.
Mr. Daniels is known nationally in plywood, lumber and building material circles, having been in the forefront of practically all forward-looking developments that have taken place in the industry. As vice-president and general sales manager of the company, he initiated and successfully pioneered the introduction of numerous improvements in plywood grades and types, such as outdoor plywood used for exterior paneling and siding in buildings, boats, railroad cars, etc.
Mr. Daniels has been an industrial and community leader in the Northwest for many years, and is a practical natural resource conservationist. In 1925, after several years as manager of the Knox & Toombs plant, he con-

He is chairman of the Management Committee of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma, and has inspired its successful promotional program and participated in its standardization of grades, counselled on reciprocal trade matters, etc. He was a member of the Housing Committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, and in the NRA days was a member of the Code Authority.
Mr. Daniels has served as president of the Hoquiam chamber of commerce, and held var.ious offices in civic organizations and social clubs. He was a major in the U. S. Quartermaster Corps, seeing active overseas duty. Mr. Daniels enjoys the fullest confidence and loyalty of his organization.
Mr. Wise is a corporate structure authority, and an organization and finance expert of w,ide experience, having participated in the organization and fiscal set-up of several national concerns. His executive experience includes the vice-presidency in charge of operations of a holding concern engaged in a large urbanization project, two sawmills, and a construction company in Colombia, South America. He has been an officer of the Harbor Plywood Corporation for several years. He is a close student of business, business law and industtial economy, also he takes an energetic interest in the furtherance of wood waste utilization.
With Mr. Daniels' recognized capacity for coordinating policies and personnel and the objectives of a large manufacturing plant, the Harbor Plywood Corporation is expected to further its program of finding new uses for plywood, consolidating its markets, and developing other forms ol wood utilization.

One of the important developments in recent years in concrete form construction is the increasing use of Douglas fir plywood, reported the Forest Products Division of the Department of Commerce.
The special advantages of plywood panels have been demonstrated on hundreds of large concrete construction projects throughout the country. In the construction of the Jefferson Memorial in the Tidal Basin at Washington, D. C., it is estimated that trvo carloads of Douglas fir plywood, amounting to 75,000 square feet, are to be used in constructing the forms for the concrete decks and bases of the ornamental columns in the edifice.
With the increased demand for this specialized material, attention to plywood mills has been focused upon improvement in manufacturing technique so as to obtain satin-smooth surfaces and the adaptation of new and improved moisture resisting glues.
Douglas fir plywood concrete form panels are now used in the construction of bridges, viaducts, towers, monuments, public buildings as well as small dwellings. The smooth panels in these constructions reduce the number of joints, "fins" and other irregular surfaces to a minimum, cutting the cost of finishing. Another important factor recommending Douglas fir plywood in concrete construction is that the panels may be re-used normally as much as fifteen times.
For sharply curved concrete surfaces, with a radius of not less than fifteen inches, one-quarter inch Douglas fir plywood panels of ordinary wallboard grade are commonly used, and a wide variety of architectural effects, as well as design simplicity, is easily attained.

Ice vending machines are now being installed throughout the country to meet the demand for twenty-four hour ice service, a new development in ice merchandising.
When the first S & S Vending Machine was placed on display in San Jose, Calif., seven years ag"o, it attracted wide attention. Today, according to Leslie Scott of the S & S Vending Machine Company, machines have been installed in cities and towns in almost every state.
The ice vendors are built on the principles of a cold storage plant. The most popular model is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide, equipped with methyl chloride refrigeration, operated by a one h.p. motor.
A new feature of recent models is an appliance which sells packages of cracked or cubed ice in addition to the regular fifty pound and twenty-five pound pieces. Coin boxes are provided, and a lever operates the machinery which delivers the ice in chutes. Mechanism of this patented vendor has been perfected to the point where it is ftrlly automatic, operating smoothly and dependably with little attention. The temperature is kept constantly at 24oF,and as much as 12,000 pounds of ice can be stored in the vendor at one time.
Recent tests of the ,machine disclose that power costs for maintaining the 24oF temperature were unchanged over the first year. Tests of the machines after seven years

of operation again revealed no noticeable decrease in power efficiency. This is attributed by Mr. Scott to the use of Palco Wool (redwood bark) insulation, which due to its practical lack of capillarity, its low thermal efficiency (.255 B.t.u.-Peebles, Armour Inst. Tech.), and the fact that it does not settle over a long period of time has proved an ideal insulation for the ice vending machines. In addition, Palco Wool's freedom from odors and its non-absorption qualities have been winning a wide acceptance for it in recent years in the cold storage as well as the house insulation fields.
Among the nationally known concerns who have used Palco Wool are Hormel Packing Company, in the new addition to their plant, California Walnut Growers Association, Tobin Packing Company, Dayton's (Minneapolis) ' fur storage, National Ice & Cold Storage Company, Union Ice Company, Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corporation, and RayMaling Company, frosted foods storage.

Here is the undisputed answer: It is a product of Natur-e, developed by Father Time and Mother Earth in the soil of California's sea coast. Science did not and could not put quality into Redwood. It was there, in the growing timber, before the dawn of the Christian Era, a thousand years before Columbus came.
The hand of Science does, however, log these wondrous timbers and saw them into long-life lurnber. The vast Hammond aceage of commercial Redwood produces a notably high yield of upper grades. And this source of supply is assured through modern production methods coordinated with forestry control.
An adequate stock of Hammond Quality Redwood is a staple requirement in today's way of operating a retail yard foi profit and repeat business. Your customers want quality of the kind that they can always depend on. Definite grade marking and the "Certified Dry" insignia stamped on Hammond Quality Redwood is a further advance ilong the lini of winning customer-confidence. All such visible marking is done under the direction of the California Redwood Association, of which this company is a member.
Our nearest sales office or representative will gladly give you the details regarding Hammond service to retail lumbermen and Hammond Quality Redwood.
