How Lumber Looks

As we go to press, negotiations to end the strike which has tied up 47 steam lumber schooners in the coastwise lumber trade since October 4 when the Marine Firemen walked out, remain stalemated. The Marine Cooks and Stewards and Engineers' IJnions later joined the s,trike.

A peace proposal by Secretary of I-abor Frances Perkins on October 25 suggested immediate return to work, on the basis of old ,contracts, that negotiations for a new contract be continued for 30 days, and provided either for an extension of negotiations or abritration should the first attempt fail. The offer of Secretary Perkins was accepted by the shipowners but rejected by the unions.

Two of the striking unions, the Marine Firemen and Marine Cooks and Stewards, submitted an alternate p,ro- posal to the Labor.Secretary, requesting that she revise her previous peace formula.

The industry stood at 76 per cent of the seasonal weekly a-verage of.1929 production and 83 per cent of. average 192i9 shipments for the week ended October 19, accordinf to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association from regional associations.

-_Py{"_g -the week ended October 19, 488 mills produced 259,569,W feet of softwoods and hardwoods c-ombined, shipped 266,319,W feet, and booked orders of 267,785,ffi feet.

Lumber orders reported for the week by 4O6 softwood mills totaled 256,724,W feet, shipments ',iere 253,665,W feet, and production was 246,854,000 feet.

Reports from 98 hardwood mills for the week gave new business as 11,065,000 feet, shipments L2,654,0001eet, and production 12,7I5,W feet.

The Western Pine Association for the week ended October 19, 105 mills reporting, gave orders as 78,765.000 feet, shipments 90,122,W feet, and production 86,684,000 feet.

Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 384,792,m feet.

The Southern Pine Association for the week ended October 19, 126 mills reporting, gave orders as 43,604,000 feet, shipments 47,862,m feet, and production 38,731,000 feet. Orders on hand at the end of the week totaled 141,287,W feet.

Dollar volume of Pacific Coast building permits during September, 194O, was 46.M per cent higher than that of September, 1939, and 2.I0 per cent above the level of August, 194O, according to the Western Monthly Building Suqvey prepared by H. R. Baker & Co., of San Francisco.

Returns f.rom 94 cities located in eleven Western States, British Columbia and Hawaii reveal a total of 16,901, having an aggregate value of. $32,263,435 for September, 1940, as compared with 14,&44 permits with a value of $22,@1,314 in September,1939, and 17950 permits totaling $31,597,067 in August, 1940.

Permits for the leading twenty-five cities totaled $26,824,388, representing a gain of 58.O2 per cent over the total of. $16,975,292 for September, 1939, and 10.18 per cent higher than the $24,345,312 f.or August, 1940. Although Los Angeles reported a slight decrease in building permits during the past month, its total of $6,574,512 still permitted it to remain in first place. Oakland's building permits more than doubled during the past month, bringing it into second place with $3,794,269. San Francisco was in third place with $1,771,938, followed by Burbank with $1,572,,282; Portland, Oregon, reporting $1,219,030; Denver, Colorado, with $1,201,488; Seattle, Washington, with $1,120,500, and Long Beach with a total of $1,049,370. Other cities showing permits in excess of a half million dollars were San Diego, Honolulu, Fresno, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Phoenix, Glendale, Vancouver, B. C., and Tacoma.

Lumbelmen Hold Banquet Reunion

What is undoubtedly the most unusual banquet in the annals of the Southern California lumber industry was held on the evening of October 22 at the Jonathan Club in Los Angeles, when thirty-five old empioyees of a lumber concern that went out of existence twenty-two years ago met in good fellowship and dined together at their first reunion in that period of time.

The concern was the Montgomery & Mullin Lumber Co., a leading lumber distributor of the early 1900's, who operated seven yards in the Los Angeles area and three in Arizona. The guests of honor were Will F. Montgomery, president, and Chas. H. Griffen, general manager, of the Company.

The hosts of the evening were the Mullin brothers, Russell and Wayne, who today are following their father's footsteps by operating the Burbank and the Mullin Lumber Companies.

Guests were the old employees who had worked with Mr. Montgomery and his partner John F. Mullin and Mr. Griffin in the early days. Many of the men had worked together thirty-five and even forty years ago. Many reminiscences of the early days of I.os Angeles and stories of early day deliveries of building materials with horse and wagon were told. Deliveries over the sand dunes of Redondo, the building and rebuilding of Frazier pier after the fire at Ocean

Park, the establishment of Flollywood and Highland Park as communities were some of the high spots the oldsters enjoyed discussing. Manv compliments were paid to the honor guests and to the high standard of ethics strictly adhered to by the firm.

Montgomery & Mullin Lumber Co' was founded in 1900 by Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Mullin, rvho had come to California in 1884 and 1885 to engage in the lumber business. From a small beginning they rapidly expanded their yards until they had branches in Redondo, Moneta, Ocean Park, Sawtelle, Hollywood, Highland Park, South Pasadena, Los Angeles, and in Atizona at Predcott, Jerome, and Clarkdale. In 1918, due to the desire of the partners to retire from business, they sold their California yards to Patten & Davies Lumber Co.

Those present were Harry Allen, Robert Anderson,'Warren Barker, Percy Bruner, Walter De-Shields, O. E. Dickey, C. H. Griffen, Carl Hanson, Harry Jackson, Al Johnson, Walls Jones, George King, Vernon Miller, W. F. Montgomery, Ward MontgomerY, D. 5,' Morgan, Russell Mullin, Wayne Mullin, Wm. Myers, A. F. Nienke, C. W. Pinkerton, Earl Pinkerton, Norman Phillips, Howard Renner, Henry Roschmann, John Smith, Wm. Smith, Ed Stoner, Bert Stout, Don Sutherin, R. C' Wertenbaker, Earl Weigold, and C. B. Wright.

I like the fellow who said he was left an orphan and on his own resources when he was just twelve months old, yet made an immediate success of his life. Asked how he did it he said he crawled on hands and knees to the nearest baby show, won the first cash prize, invested it in Coca Cola stock, and lived happily ever after.

He probably got nf, .a"r* frlm the professional business adviser, who said: "ff the wolf comes to your door, let him in and get yourself a nice warm wolfskin."

It is just possible that some day the scriptural prediction will be fulfilled, and-"the meek shall inherit the earth." But I'm afraid it won't do them much good. The un-meek will take it away from them-pronto.

It is difficult-but necessary-to remember when looking at news reels of the horrors that are happening to London every night, that that mighty Intelligence-whatever you choose to call It-that made us and made everything, has not abdicated, but is still on the job.

Got to running through the files of this magazine the other day and stumbled on an editorial in this column in February, 1932, in which I lambasted President Herbert Floover unmercifully. What for? For so fearfully increasing the cost of the Federal Government. Scuse me, Mister Hoover ! I didn't realize then what a sorry amateur you really were when it came to spending and cost-raising.

{<>k*

Some shameful things have happened lately. The throwing of eggs and even missles at a man and his wife for no other reason than that the man is a candidate for our highest office and is speaking his honest, soldierly mind about things, brings the blush of shame to the cheek of every decent man. Those who have preached the doctrine of class hatred and bigotry in this country in recent years should feel very proud of these outrages.

{<:F*

Lots of heat, but not much smart stuff in this campaign; no really good stories developed, and no sterling epigrams such as usually catch the public fancy in such times. The most joy I have had out of campaign literature is what Pegler did to Ickes. I am sure that New Dealers and antis alike, enjoyed that very one-sided word battle. First Ickes swung, then Pegler swung, and then came silence.

An old epigram * ,"*r* a terrific mauling by the politicos: "Don't change horses in the middle of a stream." I have heard or read only one smart remark on that subject so far. A serious little woman, debating the political campaign before a large audience and against a male speaker, pulled it. The man pulled the "don't change horses" gag. And then the little woman asked him: "Did

you ever see a horse BOGGED DOWN in the middle of a stream? It's mighty serious business, and something HAS to be done about it." She got a big hand on that reply. *:t<*

I guess the last political remark that ever became a household phrase in this country was Al Smith's-"They don't shoot Santa Claus." ll/hat a run that remark got ! And what a lucky man that Al Smith is. If he had not been a Catholic he would have been President from 1928 to 1932, and all the Hell that poor Herbert Hoover caught, Smith would have had to stand.

Thinking of apt political remarks, I remember when I was just a kid they took me to hear one of the stem-winding political speakers of that day, the late J. P. Dolliver, the best orator the State of fowa ever produced. He brought down the house when he declared: "Iowa will go Democratic when Hell goes Methodist !" Dolliver did not live to see his prediction upset, for, while Hell has never gone Methodist, Iowa went Democratic twice. Or rather, it went New Deal twice.

They used to say that "fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong." f was reminded of that the other day when Boss Flynn called the newspaper men in and lambasted the American press for its opposition to the New Deal. He declared that 90 per cent of the United States press is opposing Mr. Roosevelt. I was interested in his figures for they were even higher than my own estimate. And when I walk up to the polls on Nov. 5 to register the first Republican vote of my life, it will be a lot of satisfaction to know that nine out of every ten men in my own line of business the nation over, feel the same way that I do about it.

And it will make me feel doubly happy to remember that of all the people I know in this world-and I know quite a few-at least 95 per cent of them are going to vote the same way I am. I'm a man who likes good company. And if fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong, how can 90 per cent of my editorial associates and 95 per cent of my pen sonal friends be?

Attention Getter

Customers approaching the yard office of the Laguna Beach Lumber Company, Laguna Beach, California, are immediately struck by an attractive red cedar shingle roof covering the structure. J. R. Jahraus, manag'er, is a strong advocate of the "good old red cedar shingle" and reports that his yard office roof has been responsible for many sales. It is applied with the style known as Ocean Wave, which, as the name implies, provides gracefully sweeping, undulating surfaces.

A lumber yard is a clearing house and dispensary for building materials. Many lumber merchants overlook an excellent opportunity to do a selling job with their yard buildings before the prospective customer even steps in the front door. The average citizen looks to his local lumberman as an authority on lumber and allied building materials, and he usually takes note of the dealer's own establishment and buildings.--The Certigrade Salesman.

California Panel & Yeneer Co. lssues Attract've Folder on Cal-Board

The California Panel & Veneer Co., Los Angeles, has just issued an attractive folder on Cal-Board, the soundone-side hardwood plywood. The folder is illustrated with colored reproductions showing the beautiful finishes that the various u'oods in Cal-Board rvill take. There are eight varieties of fine woods in which Cal-Board is now available: Unselected Gum, Ribbon Grain Philippine Mahogany, Rotary Cut Philippine Mahogany, Plain Red Oak, Birch, Tabasco Mahogany, Elm and Sliced Walnut. Retailers rvill find this folder a fine dealer help to show their customers.

The interesting story of Cal-Board is stated in the folder as follows:

"Cal-Board brings the luxury of hardrvood paneling to the economy field of interior decoration.

"Although the oldest plywood house in the West, California Panel & Veneer Co. has for nearly a qlrarter century been in the vanguard of progress. Never has that progressive service been better demonstrated than in Cal-Board which is now available at rl the cost of most hardwood plywoods.

"Cal-Board is a sound one side grade 3-ply hard'il.ood plywood surfaced with figured hardwoods with the exception of the Philippines which have softwood cores and backs. It is all wood and is bonded with urea resin glue by the hot plate process excepting Philippines which are cold glued. Among its notable characteristics is a high resistance to moisture and freedom from grain-raising.

"Because Cal-Board is manufactured in great volume in one standard grade and size (4'x8' sheets), it brings the luxury of genuine hardwood paneling to the economy field of interior decoration. Its rich grains lend themselves to a r,vide variety of beautiful finishes by the use of wax, stain or bleach. It also provides the perfect surface for paint or enamel.

"Cal-Board is readily applied to neu, or old rvalls, being nailed directly to the studs or to furring strips over existing brick or plaster rvalls. While Cal-Board is prirnarily a wall paneling material it is adapted to the many other uses to which manufacturers put one side plywoods.

"Whether you are planning a new home or remodeling an old one you will be agreeably surprised at the economy of paneling the walls of your living room, library, den or rumpus room with Cal-Board. Matching grains and colors can be selected by your contractor from our huge stock on hand locally at all times."

Cal-Board is distributed exclusively by California Panel & Veneer Co.

Connector System Adds New Information to Structural Courses in Engineering

Washington, October 15.-The connector system of construction has added so much new information and altered so much old information in connection with the design of timbered structures, that many universities have been forced to revise their. teaching of timber engineering to include the new data made available by the Timber Engineering Company through its seven years of'research in connector engineering.

During the year just past over 10,00O pieces of timber literature bearing on the connector system have been distributed through 94 professors in 67 universities scattered over 40 states. One hundred additional teachers in 30 other institutions have been given factual information resulting from TECO research.

The TECO connector system which has radically changed most previous ideas of work to be expected from timber members has caused many engineering colleges to place extra emphasis on the teaching of engineering design to be executed in timber. Many colleges have just recently; as result of the work with connectors, added courses in timber design for structural engineering students. On the whole the connector s)'stem has done much to revive the study of timber as an engineering material in university courses.

Limitations

I'll never be a captain bold, A pilot or a mate, I'11 never issue loud commands Upon the ship of state; I can't assume the weighty tasks Performed by super he men, But I can do my level best Among the able seamen.

I cannot lead the orchestra. Or scrape a violin, My work with saxophone or flute Would rate as deadly sin; I cannot sing as many do, In vibrant tones sonorous, But I can warble modestly And help to swell the chorus.

I cannot build a grand facade, A temple or a castle, I cannot overcome the strong, Or with the mighty wrestle; I'11 never speak in stentor tones Or win great recompenses, But I could guard a little gate And mend the little fences.

Joseph Scott Will be Guest Speaker Community Chest Campaigns Launched

Lumbermen's Post No.,lO3 of the American Legion will have as its guest speaker Tuesday evening, November 12, at Royal Palms Hotel, Los Angeles, Joseph Scott, well known attorney and Republican leader.

Ted Lawrence will be chairman for the evening.

The Hi-Jinks Chairman, Fred Morehouse, has arranged for that certain stag show-long looked for-to be held at the Royal Palms Hotel, Friday night, December 13. This is one night of the year when all Legionnaires and Lumbermen from all over Southern California meet together and have a real social time.

Other members of the committee are Phil Lyons, M. A. Alexander, Hugh Satterlee, Sam Giesy and Ed Biggs.

LUMBER CARGO DELIVERIES

Lumber deliveries by water into California in September, as reported by the Pacific Lumber Carriers' Association, San Francisco, totaled 82,340,900 feet. This compared with 95,983,2W feet in September, 1939.

Deliveries at the various ports follow:

The many Community Chests of California and in the West are either actively soliciting, or on the eve of their annual appeals, with the announced necessity of caring for rrs111 91v11"-the refugees from adversity that are accumulating right in our midst while the war is piling up sufferers in Europe. The Los Angeles Chest will focus attention to local community needs with the theme: "We must take care of our orvn" and the thousands of fundraising volunteers will surge forward to insure the Community Chest as an indispensable line of defense.

Community Chests in Bakersfield, Berkeley, Fresno, San Francisco, Oakland, Glendale, I.ong Beach, San Diego, and others along the coast, will be "in the midst of things" simultaneously with that of Los Angeles, all having the same objectives. Chest leaders say there is an impelling necessity for the general public to endeavor to be more generous in their contributions this year because a full goal is required for the agencies to administer to additional needs that are so obvious.

NORTHWEST VISITORS

Don Philips, Lawrence-Philips Lumber Company, Los Angeles, who has been in the Northwest the past two weeks on business will return the last of this week.

Charles R. McCormict< of iUrcormick Piling & Lumber Company, San Francisco, expects to return about November 1 from a two weeks' business trip to the Pacific North.west.

\(/estern Pine Asr'n lssues Statement on Lumber Indictment

Portland, Ore., Oct. S-Although the recent indictment of the Western Pine Association f,or alleged monopolistic practices is neither proof of violation nor indicative that judgment has bedn passed after full presentation of facts by both sides, it is, like any charge of violation of the law, a matter of serious ,concern to the accused organization. And, in view of the possibility of misinterpretation of the situation as it exists at the moment, the Association has thought it desirable to issue this statement.

The Western Pine Association, since its inception 30 years ago, has faithfully endeavored to comply with the laws of this nation. It is not a monopoly, in fact, it could not be in the face of competition r,vith the fir lumber of the Pa"cific Northrvest and the yellow pine of the South. Each of these woods is produced in greater volume than the Western Pines and used for most of the same purposes.

The manufacturers who are members of the Western Pine Association are not and have not been profiteers. The average price of their products in l9D was higher than it is today, notwithstanding the fact that in the meantime the rninimum wage has increased 2O per cent, the average wage has increased 15 per cent, and all other expenses o'f operation, especially taxes and public charges, have mounted rapidly.

During the past ten years there have been o,nly two years in which the average rvell-managed mill made a moderate profit. In at least half of the remaining years the losses were extremely heavy. Most manufacturers of lumber were compelled to strain their resources nearly to the breaking point to keep their mills in operation a.nd to afford maximum possible employment to men u'ho otherwise r,vould have been idle. The fact that they have survived and kept their place as an important factor in the industry of the United States is highly creditable to them. Had they shut down the effects upon many small communities would have bee,n extremely serious.

Only a few years ago, during the N R A, od which the I-umber Code was a part, lumber manufacturers were subjecte'd to compulsory regulation of production and the establishment of fixed minimum prices. They were taught that in the public interest they must curtail production and sell their lumber at or above cost.

Although all regulatory Code activities rvere definitely abandoned when the Code was suspended, manufacturers doubtless were left rvith a greater regard for the necessity of adequate information on the demand for their products, and an appreciation of the ruinous effects on both labor and industry of excessive accumulations of inventories. The Association has attempted to furnish adequate information to the industry in a perfectly legal manner, and is convinced that none of its activities has been against the interests of lumber buyers or the public generally.

Regardless of any accusations that have been made, the operators are proud of the excellent and constructive job they have done for their employees and their communities under difficult circumstances.

Forest Fare Control For Cafifornia

Presented ot the California Conservation Conference ot Asilomdr, Calif., October 18, 1940, by Wendell

Robie, Auburn Lumber Compony, Auburn, President, Placer County Forestry Association

Is it well understood today, that year after year California permits an annual loss of forest growth greater than our forests and woodlands produce each year? Do we see the changes which have occurred through the two generations of living since the discovery of gold in Northern California, when this region received the thousands who came in '49 with a wonderland of forests, verdure covered hills teeming with wild life, and full clear flowing streams native to trout and the runs of salmon and steelhead?

Why subtract great areas of green, and dllow the record of our management of this heritage to show blackened, parched and wasted regions growing in expanse year by year?

Yet that IS the record, and we permit it, and our Legislatures permit it, and our elected state administrations have permitted it. Meantime a deficiency of. 50/o continues in fire suppression facilities, from that deemed necessary by several Boards of Forestry for state protected lands. It is agreeable, therefore, to note the California Division of Forestry presenting a program in the State Fire Control Plan for the consideration of the public, which provides an investment of two million dollars to correct the situation; and stating exactly therein, item by item, and place by place, just what equipment and man power is required, where stationed, and the areas of hazard. to be protected by each unit. This program will provide a definite stand against the present annual blight of fire and destruction.

Useful utilization can go hand in hand with this preservation of our forest resources and watershed cover. Large lumbering operations of the present, strive for a sustained yield basis, and to leave their cut over lands in good condition for rapid reproduction. Good low cost lumber supplies contribute largely to healthful and happy living in California, yet our hope for the future in this great industry must constantly rest in larger measure in the protection of these young stands.

Fire and insect infestations, more than lumbering, are responsible for the constantly decreasing size of California forest areas. They are upsetting the balance of the factors estimated for sustained yield operations, and many mountain communities in California confidently resting in security engendered by an erroneous estimate of permanence in their sustained-yield lumbering operations, should rally to the support of action to secure the effective operation of the Fire Control Plan over the lands protected by the State.

There is more to be done before insect infestation can be controlled; but losses by fire can be largely controlled with the concentration of fire crews manning modern motorized fire fighting equipment throughout the areas of great hazards. This is a fact well known to California Foresters, and clearly proven in several areas where local county appropriations supplementing the State budget have permitted maintenance of adequate force.

Is there a single sound reason to be urged against this degree of protection? Expense has been offered by a Legislature to whom the plan was presented; and yet, the loss from only one single fire swept area not long ago, was greater than this entire cost would be over all state protected lands during an entire biennium.

There are a multiude of savings to be urged which loom vast in comparative value to cost. Fires while burning must be suppressed regardless of cost, and the cost is less, and the loss is less, when good equipment handled by trained men, is on the job for quick suppression within a small area. Otherwise heavy demands are made of State Emergency Funds for costs to put out big fires.

Watershed protection now is most important. It is the greatest hope to a future for California homes, farms and industries. Protection today is inadequate, and immediate correction is important and vital.

Recreational use of forested regions is growing by leaps

and bounds. Intense public use multiplies the dangers of destruction. Added new equipment is immediately necessary, and it should be self evident to every thoughtful Californian that what sufficed a few years ago is inadequate to meet present conditions. Public interest requires a multiplication of present fire crew stations in such recreational areas, to meet all reasonable dangers to their preservation.

Forest and woodlands provide the cover necessary for the restoration of wild life for field and stream. The appropriation for this thorough fire control program is not a large investment to provide the sportsmen of California with better value for the important sum they annually pay the State or the privilege to fish and hunt.

In addition, the State Fire Control Plan will provide more adequate safety to rural farm areas under State protection, and annually reduce insurance costs and prevent much needless loss to the homes and improvements of 71,00Ct farmers and land owners.

Let us consider this situation of greatest importance at present. Should we find our nation anytime at war, the incendiary cards of just one enemy airplane over summer dry hills of California, when thick woods, brush and grass burn like tinder, could stare fires to destroy what two hundred years could not replace. Great fires and smoke, burned homes, mills, bridges, followed by denuded watersheds, silted reservoirs, penstocks, and idle powerhouses would be a serious blow to defense in California.

A complete fire control program is necessary now. For National Defense, it is required at once, in double measure.

The issue is with the people of California. On your action can depend the decision. Do you want black hills or green, boulder wastes or cool streams, living trees or dead monuments ?

The Four Horsemen ride throughout the world. The Red Raider can be stopped here. Let's support the banner of conservation carried today by California Foresters, in a counterattack to turn the tide of past years-to step again toward the beauty, the fertility, and the fullness of life and resource in forested watersheds like were ours two generations ago !

Test Kiln---Westwood GRAVES FLAT TYPE

With the completion of a new test kiln The Red River Lumber Company is taking up an extensive study of drying and conditioning ponderosa and sugar pine and incense cedar. The test kiln holds one standard crib and for the trial runs the height of the load is reduced, limiting the footage to twro to four thousand feet. This permits experiments that could not be risked in the standard kiln units which hold an average of lO8-thousand feet. The kilns now in operation were designed and built by thd Moore Dry Kiln Company, the 35 units holding upward of three and onehalf million feet. These kilns are meeting the anticipated schddules and turning out satisfactory product but it is hoped that an intensive, study of the various drying and conditioning factors will indicate further economies, in cyperation and improvement in product.

The test kiln is designed and built for precision control and measurement of air circulation, tdmperature and humidity. The kiln proper is a sealed compartment N by fr feet with a l4-foot ceiling. Controls, recorders and gauges are in the adjoining instrument room with electromagnetic connections to the kiln compartment. The crib track is carried on a scale platform, the weights being read on two dials in the instrument room, each showing one-half of the load.

Air is circulated by two Moore fans, 66inch, 650 to 7OO R.P.M., each fan geared to a 3 H.P. motor. Instead of the customary vents the ventillating air, for humidity control, is exhausted by a Z8-inch Sturtevant steam t'urbine fan with variable speeds up to 380O R.P.M. It is mounted in a &inch tube with a gravity damper to atmosphere. Circulating air is confined directly to the crib load by a stationary baffle on the floor and hinged baffles at the ends and top.

Two wet bulbs and two dry bulbs, wired to the instrument room are portabld and can be introduced into the crib. Temperature recording bulbs are similarly wired and portable.

Heat is derived from eight Thermek winged copper tubes 18 feet long. These have a radiating speed eight times that of iron pipe. Six spray heads introduce either steam or water or both for the control of humidity. There are also automatic sprinkler heads for fire protection.

In the adjoining instrument and control room are the weight dials, an electric Foxboro scroll type recorder and a thermostat with dials to set up temperatures and humidity. Magnetic pilots connect the electric circuits to compressed air operating valves. One reverse acting diaphram is controlled by the wet bulb and acts on valves controlling speed of exhaust turbine. One diaphram connected with thermometer through the thermostat acts on valves of the heating coils. Two diaphragms connected with wet bulb act o,n spray valves, one for steam and one for water. While these controls are automatic, all operations are also under manual control.

With precision controls and automatic recording, laboratory method can be followed in experiments with one or all of the factors that affect drying speeds and condition of the lumber and it is expected that data will be obtained that will be of value to kiln dngineers and operators.

Curtis Direct - Mail Advertising One of 1940 Leaders

Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, manufacturers of Curtis Woodu'ork, was placed among the Fifty Direct Mail Leaders of 194O at the recent convention of the Direct Mail Advertising Association held in Atlantic City, October 2, 3, and 4.

Several hundred of America's leading manufacturers entered displays of their direct mail advertising. From these the judges selected the outstanding campaigns for 1940. Fifty "leaders" were selected and fifty additional campaigns were given honorable mention' Curtis Companies Incorporated was onc of the leaders and the only firm in the building materials business to receive this classification.

The direct mail follor,r'-up of Curtis Companies Incorporated, which backs up their magazine advertising, has long been considered very favorably by the building industry. Curtis believes that when a prospective home builder, or an architect, or a contractor, writes to them for information on Curtis Woodrvork, that party is entitled to receive full informationnot just a hit-or-miss story that leaves doubt and dissatisfaction in the mind of the prospect.

To accomplish this end, Curtis makes liberal use of letters and sends to the interested party three very attractive books. One Curtis book, 24 pages, 2 colors, covers the Curtis Silentite Window Family and pictures and shows horv to decorate the home with sunbeams through the proper use of windows. A second book, 32 pages, 4 colors, is the widely publicized Curtis Kitchen Planning Book, rvhich was considered by "Printer's Ink" as one of the top advertising books of 1939. This book makes use of a cut-out idea which is very unique and helpful in kitchen planning. A third Curtis book, 2O pages, 2 colors, pictures the Curtis line of woodwork-entrances, doors, trim. stairs, cabinets, mantels, etc. This helps the prospect pick out all the woodwork for the home.

These books, with personalized letters, are sent to prospects who write Curtis in reply to their magazine advertising. They are sent to contractors and architects, too, who answer trade paper advertising.

This same follow-up is sent to names given to Curtis by the lumber dealer. In every case, the name of the Curtis

Charles McFarlane

Charles McFarlane, San Francisco retail lumberman' passed away in San Francisco on October 20.

He was born in Nova Scotia 60 years ago. His first position in the lumber business in San Francisco was with the Acme Lumber Co. in 1906. In 1909 he went with the Hooper Lumber Co., and later rvas with the Christenson Lumber Co. for some years. He was associated with H. S. Thomson, San Francisco, for some time and several years ago with Mr. Brown purchased a retail yard which they have operated under the name of McFarlane & Brown.

Mr. McFarlane is survived by his widow, Mrs. Nellie McFarlane, a daughter, Barbara Jane McFarlane, San Francisco, and a brother, Daniel McFarlane of Pictou, Nova Scotia. He was a member of Mount Moria Lodge No. 44, F. & A. M.; California Bodies, Scottish Rite and Islam Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S.

Emil Hendrickson

Emil Hendrickson, partner in the West Bay Lumber Company, Redwood City, Calif., passed away on October 15. He was born in Finland 51 years ago and is survived by his widow. Mrs. Astrid Hendrickson.

Mr. Hendrickson had a large circle of friends in the lumber business. IIe was a member of The Star of Finland, Peninsula Lumbermen's Club and the East Bay Hoo-Hoo Club.

dealer is given in the letter which is mailed when the book goes out. Curtis dealers speak highly of the fine results secured frorn this very complete follow-up, which helps the dealer sell all his lines of materials, not Curtis products alone. Because this method of dealer and contractor and architect follow-up has been so well received and helpful to the building profession, Curtis has continued it for many years and considers it as a basic part of their sales promotion campaign.

Numerous other types of direct mail advertising were featured in the Curtis display entered in the direct mail competition and helped to place this long established firm among the "top 50" direct-mail advertisers of 1940.

Pfywood Mills Vrlue 1939 Output at $38,878 ,932

Mills engaged in the manufacture of plywood during 1939 valued their output for the year at $38,878,932, or 10.9 per cent higher than the L937 total of $35,042,553, according to a preliminary report on the Census of Manufacturers for 1939. The number of mills increased f.rom 77 to 86.

In addition, it is estimated that $12,000,000 worth of plywood was made as a secondary product in other industries.

Utility plywood for boxes, construction, etc., accounted f.or $34,32L,662 in 1939, agai,nst 930,017,643 in 1937. Plain and fancy plywood for decorative uses had a fabtory value of $14,953,232 in 1939, compared with 915,494,477 in 1937.

Of the utility plywood, $?6,379,198 represents the value of 848,888 thousands of squard feet of Douglas fir, and $7,942,4& the value of other woods.

Plywood mills also produced in 1939 $I,534,D7 worth of goods classified in other industries, such as candy sticks and skewers, prin,ting blocks, theater seats, table tops, etc. Plywood produced and consumed in further manufacture in the same establishment is not included in the report.

Although value of products rose 10.9 per cent, cost of materials, supplies, fuel, purchased electric energy, and contract work increased by only 5.8 per cent, from $I7,323,819 to $18,324,679.

The number of salaried personnel went up 10.4 per cent from 594 to 656, with their salary total growing 12.1 per cent from $I,472,784 to $1,650,801.

Wages rose by 9 per cent from $9,124,25I to $9,g42,g74. Wage earners increased by 2.1 per cent f.rom9,ffiZ to 9,805. The latter figure, however, does not include wage earners doing construction or distribution work. When these are added in the final report, the gain will probably be greater. All figures for 1939 are preliminary and subject to revision.
