Courtesy

a OURTESY is the only medium of exchange which is \z accepted at par by the best people of every country on the globe.

It is sentiment clothed in reasonable and business-like expression-the embellishment that adds tone and harmony to matter-of-fact routine-the oil that lubricates the machine of commercial good fellowship, and promotes the

smooth running of the various units of an organization.

Courtesy radiates a spirit of good fellowship that we are not working entirely for what we get out of work in a material way, but for the pleasure of polite transaction and friendly association as well. Life is not too short and we are not too busy to be courteous, for courtesy is the outward expression of inward consideration for others.

Lives of editors remind us, Honest men don't have a chance, And in passing leave behind us, Bigger patches on our pants. On our pants once new and glossy, There are stripes of different hue, All because subscribers linger, And don't pay us what is our due. Let us then be up and doing, Send our mite however small, Or when the snow of winter strikes us. We will have no pants at all.

When I think of the towel, the old fashioned towel, That used to hang up by the yard office door, I think that nobody in these days of shoddy, Could hammer out iron to wear as it wore. It grew thicker and rougher and harder and tougher, And each day it took on an inkier hue, Until one windy morning without any warning, It fell to the floor and was broken into.

It is agreed by most thinking and reading men that most of the books being published in this day and age come under one category; they are just plain and lousy trash. Yes, lousy is the word.

Tlie same thing might be truthfully said concerning the great preponderance of the books of recent years; the covers are too far apart. They should, in many cases, be stucktogether.

Now and then something worth while in book form comes on the market. If you are thinking of getting a book that will be worth your time and money and then some. here is a suggestion.-The book came out about twelve yeari ago. It is the "Maxims and Reflections of Winston Churchill," published by Houghton, Mifflin Company of Boston.

The book mentioned is filled with quotations from the speeches and writings of the great Englishman, most of them brief, all of them filled with magnificent thoughts couched in such words as onlv Churchill knows how to use. Truly he is a master word rvringler and phrase shaper. You read this book slowly and thoughtfully, and the words seem to stick in your mind. That is the test.

BY JACK DIONNE

There is a foreward to the book, written by one of the authors, Colin Coote,,which alone is well woith the price of the_ !qo\, for he draws you a very unusual pictuie of Churchill. His prologue illuminates the book that follows. He concludes his esJay with these words: ',The prayer in t-rjstory^whi_ch_stits him best is surely the prayer bt La Hire: 'Sir God, I pray you to do to La Hiri ai La Hire would do to you if You were La Hire and La Hire were God."' rF*{.

Mr. Coote explains that at times Mr. Churchill, in his strongest phrases, comes close to taking for his own the famous words of men of earlier days, bu1 adds, and truth- fully, that all great thinkers, speikers, and writers may b_e so charged. For instance, Churchill's oft-quoted words that_he spoke in England's darkest hour when he promised the Fritish people "blood, toil, sweat, and tears," ring like the immortal words of Garibaldi when he said: "Softiers. what I have to offer you is fatigue, danger, struggle, and death."

And when he said at that same time that Britain would "fight on the beaches, in the hills, in the streets.', he could have been taking a page from the French Clemenceau during World _W"I 9"9, when he promised the invading Germans that "I shall fight in front of Paris, in paris, Sehind Paris." Mr. Coote believes that the resonant eloquence of Churchill is alike to that of Cicero; perhaps -ore like him than like any other speaker or writei.

lNr**

Early in the book Churchill explains his own ambitions, ye_ry tersely, and very plainly, saying: "I have always faith- fully served two public causes, which, I think siand supreme, the maintenance of the enduring greatness of Britain and her Empire, and the historical continuity of our island life."

And the reader will no doubt thrill with admiration for his dominant thought-British loyalty-when he says: "I would make all boys learn English; and then I would let the clever ones learn Latin as an honor, and Greek as a treat. But the one thing I would whip them for is not knowing English; I would whip them hard for that." And he slyly adds that he never studied Latin or Greek.

Signif icant Developments Announced At Annual Meet of Northwest Hardwood Association

A RICH, NEW source of hardwoods

I I will soon be made available to the r,vestern furniture and other wooduj;ing industries, it is announced by Harry O. Mitchell, Secretary-Manager of the Northwest Hardwood Association, Seattle, following an address by Washington's State Commissioner of Public Lands. Hon. Bert L. Cole before the seventh annual meeting of the association in Seattle October 6-7.

Cole, who also administers the State

Department of Natural Resources, told industry members of his agencies' plans to make available alder, maple and other native hardwood species on public-owned lands. Scant attention l-ras heretofore been paid to hardwoods, although the stands are extensive.

Under the new program, initiated by Cole at the request of the association, an intensive program is being launched with a long-range view for sustained yield through scientific management,

orderly harvesting and proper logging methods.

Oflicials of the association hailed the program as the start of a movemetrt to encourage other states in the Pacific Coast hardwood belt to undertake similar activities.

Another development that presents significant opportunities for thi future of western hardwoods was the orogram announced by the College of Forestry of the Univ-ersity of WaJhing- ton to lead the way toward certified hardwood tree farms throughout the west. Steps are being taken by that agency to acquire surplus forest land from IJ. S. Corps of Engineers following completion of a flood-control dam on the White River near Enumclaw. Washington, on which a pilot opera- tion is planned to study soils, silvaculture and management of red alder.

Current officers were re-elected to another term with a unanimous vote of confidence and praise for their efforts in advancing the cause of Pacific Coast hardwoods. They are : president, K. R. (Mike) Nlichel of Michel Lumber Co., Lake Oswego, Ore.; vice president, L. R. Smith of Longview, Wash.; treasurer, John W. Allen, Bloedel Timberlands Development. Inc., Bainbridge Island, Wash. ;^Harry O. Mitchell, who has managed the affairs of the association for the oast six years, was returned to offrce as secretary-manager.

New directors are: Harrv D. Smith. Weyerhaeuser Company, Tacoma, Washington; Everett Olsen, Olsen lTardwoods, Inc., Eugene, Oregon; Joseph Burkle, Educators N{fg. Co., Tacoma; E,mmet J. Niat, Seattle Box Company, and Dick Inglis, Enumclaw Lumber Co., Enumclaw, Washington, (Continued. on Page 20)

NBMDA Conducts Problem-Solving

Distributor-Dealer Conference

ttTl ENTLEMEN ! During this Conference we shall en- lr.J deavor to solve manj' problems especially the problem of lost markets." These were the opening words of a short welcome speech made by Dick Freeman as he initiated the National Building Material f)istributors Association Distributor-Dealer Conference on September 18 in L. A.'s Ambassador Hotel. Dick concluded his brief speech and then introduced M. L. McCreery, president of the Association.

Mr. McCreery stated that he had noticed the tremendous building and construction growth in the Los Angeles area , but, that he doubted if the profit margin enjoyed in the building materials industry had kept up. He also said that he was very pleased to see the interest and co-operation which existed between manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers attending the Conference.

Francis Brown (Moderator), Editor of Western Building Review, introduced the panel members for the first Round Table Discussion: Fred Thompson of Inland Lumber Company, Ralph Singer of Diamond W Supply Company, Hal Anawalt of Anawalt Lumber Company and Ken Dietel of the Pomona Lumber Company.

Mr. Singer, a wholesaler, was asked to state problems which faced his company. According to this prominent man in the building material business, one of the most crucial problems facing his firm is the lack of qualified young men. Mr. Singer added that the building materials industry is unable to absorb qualified young men because their gioss profit margin does not allow them to offer highly attractive starting salaries, _Large profit-making organizations like insurance companies take away the better class of personnel.

Hal Anawalt had four points to bring before the group for discussion. Primarily. he stated that wholesalers should

accompany salesmen to visit retail clients. Secondly, Hal said that catalogs and price sheets left by salesmen with clients should be up to date. Thirdly, Hal opinioned that wholesalers should make sales and distribution policies known to retailers. Finally, Mr. Anawalt stated that Wholesalers should keep hitting Retailers again and again until thev eventuallv make a sale.

Ken Dietel expressed that he thought business could be generally improved by: promoting shell-housing, standardizing patterns and colors of building products and labeling building material trucks with the statement, "Wholesale to Retail Dealers Only."

At the conclusion of the first round table discussion, Francis Rrown opened the meeting for group discussion. Among the main points which were resolved by the group were : product catalogs should be sent to architects; new products should be displayed by wholesalers and retailers; when the retailer fails to perform his function he is eventually cut out; something should be done to restrict discount houses from taking business away from the wholesale and retail lumber and building material dealers. *.Next- on the program was a speech presented by Don

Richardson, vice ident of NBMDA, bn the component fi.rcnarcson, vlce prestoent I\ IJ.|ljA, on picture. Mr. Richardson stated that the average tracthousing projects consisting of twenty-five homes are lost ng proJects consrstlng' ot twenty-hve mers for components. The vice-president went on to customers components.

say that his company, the Richardson Lumber Company, ships component houses up to 300 miles away from tlie factory. He then added that lSVo of national-home construction jobs are pre-fabricated, while only l0/o of the homes built in Colorado are pre-fabs. Mr. Richardson said that customers can actually move in only thirty-five days

S. M. Van Kirk, General Manager of NBMDA, was called to t!9 speaker's platform to eiplain the major weaknesses at "the point of sale." Ife said that cutting prices is a temporary anitver to the current problems, not a lasting one. Mr. Van Kirk continued by saying that the volume of business transacted is rising, but so-are wage costs.

At the conclusion of Mr. Kirk's remarks, the persons attending the Conference were invited to lunch at tLe Ambassador where they enjoyed the Hotel's famous cuisine.

After lunch the second panel was called to the speaker's platform by its Moderator, Dick Freeman, So.-Cal. Building \4aterials Company. The second panel consisted of : W. G-. Grieve of Building Material Distributors, Fred Kranz of. Golden State Lumber, Ray Haley of Haley Wholesale Company a1d faul Hollenbick, Exicutive Seiretary of the Southern California Retail Lumber Dealers Ass5ciation.

Paul Hollenbeck was the first member of the second pale-l to- speak. Mr. Hollenbeck said that proper accounting and budgeting procedures are of paramount-importance t6 the lumber and building materials dealers. Ray Haley then told about an experiment he is carrying on at-his company whereby salesmen are paid a percentage of the gross piofii. In this manner salesmen are given a strong incentive to sell because they know exactly how much commission will go into their pockets on every item they sell.

Fred Kranz commented that the wholesaler should not try to tell the retailer where to set prices (that should be the retailer's concern). Bill Grieve then spoke in favor of data processing machines. Mr. Grieve said that data processing should show the wholesalers and retailers not what has happened, but what is going to happen.

It was resolved at the conclusion of panel report that office records should do more than just tell how much taxes management has to pay; they should also indicate a sales forecast.

Before adjournment of the Conference, Mr. Van Kirk reminded the group that the 1962 Spring Meeting of NBMDA will be held in San Francisco, Rpiil 30 through May 3. On May 4 the group will leave foi Hawaii where they will attend the Mid-Pacific Conference. They are expecting over 200 distributors from all states in the Union to participate in this event. While in Hawaii they will inspect warehouses, review the construction industiy and attend the Wholesale Building Materials Distributori Convention.

According to Congress President Pickett, the Sessions will convene under the general theme "Logging in the Lean Years" and will feature three days of discussion relative to "Reduced Logging -Costs" and "fncreased Oper- ating Efficiency."

The Congress' theme. Pickett said, "is based on obvious facts of higher taxe-s, rapidly increasing stumpage and production costs, and competition from substitute materials. These factors combine to create situations requiring that every logger devote careful at"tention to the efficiency of his operation.

"Top loggers from all over the west have designed the program," Pickett said, "in which we hope to explore new and better cost control methods in all logging operations."

Registration tables will be operating on the mezzanine in the St. Francii beginning Sunday afternoon, Nov. 5.

IBMC Proves lts Ability To Perform

D) EDWOOD is the perfect descrip- r\ tion of the ultra-modern Independent Building Materials Company, Inc., manufacturing plant and concentration yard in Torrance, California. When one looks up he sees that the stacks of perfectly cut redwood touch the blue of the sky and if one turns his head to either side, he will see only quality IBMC redwood and precision machinery.

"There is no limit to IBMC's ability to perform in the ever expanding redwood industry which is becoming increasingly more vital to America's growth and development," explained Max R. Barnette, new manager of IBMC, one of the largest redwood specialty firms in the nation.

IBMC manufactures approximately 5,000,000 feet of redwood per month and kiln dries quality grade redwood through clear and Aye, plus selling common grades green andf or air seasoned.

possible in order to maximize efficiency and quality of IBMC redwood. So it is that precision tools, such as the automatic sticker, are seen being used in every plant operation.

The automatic sticker provides maximum efficiency in IBMC's green lumber sticking operations. The green chain saw permits fast sorting of lumber for length and width prior to further manufacturing or sticking.

rows of stuck redwood Clears covering IBMC's 15 acre drying area.

"Air drying prior to kiln dry-ing insures maximum capacity and efficiency of the dry kiln operation at our Toirance facility," IBMC President W. E. "Bill" Upton explained.

Careful checking of lumber grade before and after resawing on self-centering Turner band re-saws assures uniformly excellent redwood lumber. After milling, splits and downgrades are pulled for re-trim and further manufacture to insure quality.

Chief grader Bert llarmes checks kiln-dried stocks using the latest equipment to insure absolute moisture control. Typical of key employees who have been with IBMC since its founding, Harmes has more than 30 years of lumbering experience behind him.

The Torrance area not only has excellent climatic conditions for redwood dryingi, but it is also situated in a location convenient to all types of transportation. These plus a strong labor pool make Torrance the ideal concentration center.

The large Torrance plant covers 25 acres, all of which is paved. Walking between the high stacks of beautiful redwood and around the humming milling operations, one is amazed at the good clean house-keeping that prevails. The plant is so imaculate that one almost expects to see a maid scurrying around with a broom and dust pan.

One can easily understand the vastness of the IBMC's ooerations after visiting the massive- custom-engineered Moore Dry Kilns designed to meet IBMC's exacting requirements for drying redwood. Their total capacity is 1,200,000 feet per charge, according to Kiln Superintendent Bill Tooker.

Automation equipment handles the feeding of rough kiln-dried stock into the three Stetson Ross Matchers. Precision matching to exacting tolerances assures highest quality of redwood manufacture with these modern high speed machines.

A massive 500-foot building houses the three matchers, a portion of the planing mill, and the centrally located filing room. The high powered blower system recovers 14 to 16 truckloads of sawdust per day which is converted into lignapeat for home and nursery use. Scrap goes into toy manufacture, glued-up stock, and fiber_ board, thus assuring maximum wood utilization. IB],IC has found profits not only through efficiency bu1 from sound and ingenious use for all material.

Highly skilled machinists play a vital role in maintaining the reputation enjoyed by IBMC for precision manufacturing standards. The finest equipment in the industry is to be found in the filing and grinding department. Supervisory planing mill personnel keep the diagonal ie-saw and other machinery in constant adjustment to maintain accurate tolerances demanded for IBMC's Bevel Siding.

If one were able to vlew the IBMC plant from an airplane, one would be awed by the numerous quarter mile

Once-a-week barge service from IBMC's Crescent City mill delivers 500,000 feet of rough green Del Norte County redwood for further milling, manuf-acturing, and drying at the Toirance plant.

Railroad box car shipments of choice kiln-dried rough redwood are received on regular schedule from IBMC's mills in Del Norte and Humboldt Counties. Incoming redwood loaded on flatcars is spotted along the 14 car spur at the Torrance yard and then mechanically discharged.

To supply the growing demand for redwood in the East and Midwest, pool railroad box car shipments to wholesale distribution points in those

areas averag'e 100,000 feet per day, adding up to 50 to 60 cars per month. IBMC traffic service insures the fast-

est routing at lowest cost to the customer.

Some 15 company-owned Peterbuilt diesel trucks and trailers insure prompt delivery of IBMC quality redwood lumber to the California market as well as those in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and West Texas.

Max R. Barnette recently became manager of IBMC and with him came the policy of progress, efficiency, expansion, and quality. He is no stranger to the industry in Southern California for it was in this area that he gained his vast lumber experience before going to Ukiah where he formerly headed Hollow Tree Redwood Company as president and general manager.

Sitting in the president's chair is W. tr. "Bill" Upton, a true pioneer in

the lumber industrv who olans for the future as can be-observed at ultramodern IBMC.

Bestwqll Developes

New Joint System Tope

Bestwall Gypsum Company, manufacturer of gypsum building products, has announced the development of a new joint system tape called Embossed Tape for use in drywall constructlon.

Available nationally, a primary aclvantage of the new tape is that it can remain stable under varying humidity conditions, thus reducing uneven expansion and edge wrinkling which are contributing factors in edge crack-

ing of finished walls and ceilings.

Based on an entirely different cor.rcept of porosity witfiout holes, the ne.w tape is center embossed to per- rnit air_ flow through the roll of tipe, and edge embossed to take up the stretch in the skiving operation.

New Delta 18" Ploner Feqlures Seporote Feed ond Wedge Bed

Wedge bed construction, combining accuracy with easy adjustment, and a separate feed drive motor are featured on a new l8-inch planer introduced by Rockwell Manufacturing Company's Delta Power Tool Division.

In addition to increasing accuracy and simplifying adjustment, rvedge bed construction provides greater work support than conventional raising screws. The incline ways directing the even rise of the bed are supported by a large area of solid metal that serves as a compression member, eliminating bending or tension strain on any part.

The nerv unit handles stock up to 18 inches wide and from tf-inch to 6 inches thick. Depth of cut is limited to tl-inch as a safety factor to eliminate any possibility of an operator's fingers being caught between the girt and stock being fed.

The planer is available in belt drive and direct drive models operating at 3450 rpm with a choice of 3-, 5- and 7%-hp motors. Price of the basic machine is $680, F. O. B. tactory.

Plywood Fqbricotors Introduces New Plywood Siding Poifern

. A new plywood siding pattern which has been in the development_ stage_ fo_r _more than a year was recently unveiled by Plywood l'abricators of Redwood Valley.'Cali- fornia. The new product, which was developed by ieteran plywood man Ted Stolesen, is called Plank-Sawn.

Stolesen, who is president of Plywood Fabricators, notes that Plank-Sawn differs from other exterior plywood siditlg.- by _simulating a resawn board and batf ippearance. With other plywood siding panels it is still neiissary to nail battens to the panels after they are erected, Stollsen polnts out.

Plank-Sawn is manufactured with 8,,, 12,,. or random width "boards" and the panel itself is generallv manufactured in either /s" or y's" thicknesses. l{owever. in cases rvhere 2.4.1 panels are used in two story construction the Plank-Sawn process could serve an additional use and p.rovide an attractive board and batt effect on the ceiling of the ground floor.

Stolesen, rvho has long been active in the development of new manufacturing methods to promote broader markets for plywood and plywood specialties, estimates that Plank-Sawn will be in full production and available to iobbers within the next 30-45 davs.

Clear Fir Lumber and Twin Harbors Has Them !

Clear Fir Lumber Company, located 28 miles East of Arcata in Redwood Creek Valley, recently entered into an exclusive sales agreement with Twin Harbors Lumber ComDany. A mutually beneficial agreement to both sides, Clear Fir gains a broader marketing area for its quality old growth stock through Twin Harbors' sales network while Twin Harbors gains an exceptionally fine source of old growth finetextured Douglas fir in lengths up to 42'. Tvtin Harbors also represents an-

other long mill, Humboldt Fir at Hoopa, which can cut timbers tp to 32' in length. The agreement was reached by Don Anderson, vice-president of Tr,vin Harbors Lumber Company, and Ray Swigert, general manager of Clear Fir Lumber Company.

Clear Fir is located aporoximately 28 miles East of Arcata, California, in Redwood Creek \ralley. The mill can be reached by traveling Highway 299 some 20 miles east to a county road junction leading to Hoopa where Humboldt Fir is located. Clear Fir is approximately eight miles northeast of this junctior.r.

The mill site consists of 15 acres of paved property adjacent to a 14 acre log pond which is jointly held by United States Plywood and Clear Fir. One-half of the pond is used by United States Plyr,vood to sort logs from its woods operation and the other half is used by Clear Fir as a log storage and sorting area.

General manager Swigert notes that the purpose of locating the mill in this

area was to get as near the timber source as possible with the thought in mind that lumber could be hauled from the mill cheaper than logs (if the mill were located in the Arcata area). Although the bulk of the company's production moves by truck, Clear Fir also maintains a yard at Arcata where rail shipments are processed.

The mill is constructed on ground level with concrete floor and the building has steel trusses with a galvanized roof designed primarily for a long timber mill cutting up 42' in length.

Basic mill equipment includes a 4block carriage with 72" openings with Salem pre-determined set works and air tapers on three knees. The head rig is an B' Filer & Stowell band rig powered by a 300 h.p. slip ring electric motor. The edger is a 12" x 60" llurnboldt Machine Works and trimmer is a Sumner 42' length capacity with a 12" depth cut. The resaw. a Prescott 7". is powered by a 250 h.p. electric slip ring motor with line bar feed which is backed up by another trim-

The green chain is 140' long with an additional 75' offset chain at the end for pulling and sorting special items. A ffi' bridge crane is located at the end of the chain for handling and packaging timbers for shipment. Two Hyster fork lifts and one Hyster carrier are used to service botl-r the sawmill and planer.

The management of Clear Fir Lumber Company, a California corporation, includes general manag'er Swigert, plant manager \,Villiam Gross, salesmanager Del Davenport and mill superintendent U. M. AuClaire.

New "Flip-Top" Truck Speeds In-Plqnt Mqteriols Hondling

A new two level "flip-top" truck which simplifies in-plant distribution

of a wide range of products has been designed by the F'isher l)ivision of National Vulcanized Fibre Co.

The truck can be used to handle wood, metal, plastic and many other industrial oroducts. It carries three vulcanized ieceptacles and provides access to all simultaneously. A flat-bed, four wheel chassis carries the receptacles.

Two of the receptacles are rectangular. One rests on the bed of the truck and the second is held in place on a metal frame positioned above the first. The f rame is attached to movable arms enabling the receptacle to be swung out over the bottom unit.

A square hamper, approximately the size of two rectangular units, occupies the end of the truck.

Additional information concerning the new truck is available from Na-

tional Vulcanized Fibre Co., 1061 Beech Street, Wilmington 99, Delaware.

A special Lu-Re-Co clinic, conducted by Lumber Dealers Research Council, will portray the latest component techniques developed through research and field testing. Newly developed structural elements will be shown to add to the ever increasing number of useable components.

Time and cost studies will be presented to show actual field cases comparing different types of construction as an aid to dealers in determinins the method of utilization which will l6wer the cost of housing while maintaining or exceeding quality standards of perIOrmance.

The "Profit Parade" will be a 90 minute presentation illustrating the individual dealer's profit picture and the whole industry's growth potential for the next decade. It will be a factual and dramatic approach to the vast remodeling market and its projected growth during the coming years.

One of the most interesting and popular attractions at the Exposition will be the featured Better Building Center. llere architects. builders. dealers. distributors. and lenders will see a concentration of new products, new materials, new tools, and new handling equipment for building better profitably, according to Winfield B. Oldham, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

Mr. Oldham has invited all NRLDA Exposition exhibitors who feel that their new products, new materials, or materials handling equipment are making an exciting or significant contribu- tion to building progress to submit special exhibits for inclusion in the Better Building Center.

"Ideas in Action" is the theme of the business program which will include numerous discussions. lectures. and seminars. Featured will be several problem solving sessions of vital interest and stimulation to the retail lumber and building materials dealer. See C.L.M.

Home Modernizing Institute Plcrnned

An opportunity to profit by the experience of others is being offered at the American Home Modernization Institute, located in Anaheim, California.

In a unique series of training programs, qualified applicants are trained in the practical, day-to-day operation of a home modernization business. They will receive training from men who have, through actual experience, gained the knowledge and 'know how' that makes the difference between succlss and failure in the home improvement field.

"The home modernization industry has grown tremendously in the last few years," said Jim Nelson of NelsonDye Construction, successful remodeling contractor, and a director of the American Home Modernization Institute. "LTnfortunately, this growth has attracted many people who haven't the knowledge or background to operate a horne improvement business with any degree of success. Too many have failed that should have succeeded. Knowledge would have made the difference for a profitable operation."

"It is the objective of the American Home Modernization Institute to help home modernization personnel avoid the errors and oitfalls that await the newcomer in the modernization field. We offer a practical program of technical knowledge that covers every important area in the internal operation of a profitable modernizing business," concluded Jim Nelson.

Courses for the salesman, designer, estimator, job superintendent, bookkeeper and executive are offered by the American Home Mbdernization Institute, as well as in Indoctrination Course that covers, in depth, the home modernization field. Further information on the courses available can be obtained from the American Home Modernization Institute, 280 North Wilshire Avenue, Anaheim, California.

Good News!

August shipments of factory-finished wood kitchen cabinets were the highest of any month in history, it has been announced at the sixth annual convention of the National Institute of Wood Kitchen Cabinets.

Volume was 48 per cent above the average monthly shipments in the base period, 1958-1960, and 2O per cent ahead of shipments in August of last year.

For the year, January through August 1961, shipments are four per cent of the same period in 1960, six per cent over 1959 and 54 per cent ahead of 1958.

"The high August volume is particularly significant," the Institute declared, "in view of the slow start in home building this year. It reflects the mounting popularity of factoryfinished wood kitchen cabinets which are now being widely used in home remodeling as well as new construction."

Fir Lumber Prices Drop $3 or Northwest Mills

Green fir lumber prices have dropped about $3 per thousand feet at Northwest mills. Random length 2'x4's are selling for about $57 per thousand board feet, down from about $60 last month and a year ago.

" The price has been gradually softening about a dollar a week," one Oregon lumberman explained.

Last month sanded fir plywood prices dropped to $60 from $54 per thousand square feet for fu inch key grade at West Coast mills. The new price equals the post World .War Two low, and compares with $58 one year ago.

Western Canada's lumber shipments to the United States in July were about 42 per cent above 1960, compared with a 22.5 per cent rise in June and a 14.6 per cent increase for the first seven months, according to the latest Dominion Bureau of Statistics report.

Canadian lumber sells about $2 below U.S. mill prices. Key grade green 2'x 4's from Canada now sell for about $55 per thousand board feet at the mill.

For seven straight weeks U.S. lumber mill production has exceeded orders by an average 7.7 per cent, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. In the first nine months, output has run less than 1 per cent ahead of orders. In the seven lveeks ended September 30. orders were ofi 6.4 per cent from 1960 while production fell 6.2 Der cent.

Crenerol Plywood Poys $5,2(Xr,OOO qnd Stock to Merge Kochton, Plywood

It has been disclosed in a proxy statement that the General Plywood Corporation will pay $5,200,000 in cash plus 100,000 shares of common stock for Kochton Plywood and Veneer Company, Chicago. The annual sales of Kochton have been twice those of General Plywood.

Value of the General Plywood common stock involved has been estimated to be $1,800,0'00. That firm will also pay off a Kochton bank debt of 91,400,000 from a sum of $6,600,000 it plans to borrow from commercial institutions for a term of not more than five years. The remainder of this loan will be used to make the cash payment to Kochton.

General Plywood said it paid $300,000 for its option to buy Kochton. Henry M. Reed, Jr., General Plywood president, said the acquisition would help his firm to diversify, improve its operations, and promote products made by its patented finishing process. Kochton is a distributor of plywood and veneer with ap- proximately 30 wholesale outlets across the nation. General Plywood makes panels and doors.

The proxy statement showed that Kochton had a net loss of $77,000 in the year ended March 31, 1960. General Plywood had a net loss of 91,387,774 in the year ended October 31, 1960 while it has a tax loss carryforward of 92,500,000. Kochton's sales were $10,438,447 for last year. General Plywood has 1,086,012 shares outstanding.

Stockholders of General Plywood will be requested to approve removing a debt limit of $5,000,000 in favor of an unlimited amount and to remove a 100 year limit on the life of their firm. The limit had been placed under a Kentucky law requiring a specific time limit for corporations, but the law has since been changed. The concern was incorporated in 1945.

Toke q Wooden Nickel!

"Take a wooden nickel" is a paraphrase of an old saying which stated just the opposite. The new version of this old maxim has recently become popular since the National Forest Products Week Committee began handing out wooden nickels as souvenirs of National Forest Products Week. Remember that wood is worth its weight in er wood! The wooden nickels are also worth tons of f uture publicity for the lumber and building nraterials industrv.

I believe that in working for this program of Wood Promotion, Hoo-Hoo has found the one big endeavor where it can be of orime service to the Lumber Industry and to those industries related to lumber.

"Next in imoortance is our drive to increase our membership and to establish new clubs. The big roll for Hoo-Hoo is for it to become a truly strong fraternal organization for all those who derive their livelihood from forest products. To fi11 this roll, HooHoo must constantly work to strengthen itself in all departments so as to maintain the respect and confidence of the lumber industry."

Hoo-Hoo Number 2's Steering Committee Gollops Agcin

Many important decisions were made at the Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo Steering Committee Meeting conducted in Rodger Young Auditorium on October 9. Snark Joe Petrash initiated the problem-solving session by challenging the eleven attending members with the problems of the evening.

It was decided that a 54 hole golf tourney would go into its first stage at the Palos Verdes Country Club Open Meeting on October 20. The Steering Committee approved the motion to charge a $5.00 entry fee to cover the entire tournament. Don Gow, golf chairman, stated that he would personally iron out all details.

Lee Kramer, of the Entertainment Committee, announced that Mr. Chris Gugas would present an exciting program entitled "The Truth About Lie f)etection" at the October 20 meeting. If Mr. Gugas is unable to attend an alternate program will be presented.

The Steering Committee decided to award door prizes of $10.00 and $5.00 at the October 20 meeting. They also agreed to award a door prize of $100.00 at some future meeting, but that the exact date of the particular meeting involved will remain a secret.

It was announced by Joe Petrash that an open "Gripe Night" will be

held on November 13. Joe hopes that all members carrying gripes against the club or its present organization will bring them before the Steering Committee at this special meeting.

Lee Kramer was asked to coordinate on entertainment for the November 17 meeting at Knowllwood Country Club with Larry Weiland. It was decided this was important because the next committee meeting is to be held only four days before the open meeting.

Joe Petrash announced that he had checked with Bill Bright of the Valley Hoo-Hoo Club on the possibility of getting the two clubs together for bowling and golf. Bill agreed that it was a good idea and said that he would appoint a Bowling Committee to investigate the bowling facilities in the area of Knollwood.

Because Harvey Koll was elected Snark of the Universe. and has manv nerv duties to carry out, he *as relieved from his position as committee chairman of the Lumbermen's Placement Bureau. Ole May was selected to fill this vacancy and will receive assistance from Harold Cole.

The Steering Committee decided to cancel the long-standing suggestion of a Contractor's Guest Night. Instead they will hold a general "Guest Night"

in February of 1962 and invite all members to bring a personal guest. Don Jewett volunteered to form a phone committee to contact members on all future meetings. He expressed the opinion that this would do much to increase attendance.

A Host Committee was organized to greet all members when they arrive at meetings under the direction of Ken Kenofel. The people on this committee will wear name tags and try to make every person attending the meeting feel at home.

The final suggestion of the evening was mentioned by Lee Kramer. Lee suggested that the Steering Committee investigate the possibilities of organizing an airplane trip to Las Vegas to meet with the Las Vegas Hoo-ffoo, do the town, and play with the galloping dominoes. This suggestion was held in abeyance until the November Steering Committee meeting.

Those present at the Steering Committee meeting were: Don Jewett, Lee Kramer, Harold Cole, Harvey Koll,'Jim Forgie, Don Bufkin, Joe Petrash, Less Foor, Don Gow, Ben Gardiner and Phil Kelty.

Bundling Mode Eqsier, Foster By New Tope Wropping Mcchine

An easily adjusted machine which bundles conduit and tubing with tape in prearranged form and at speeds up to six bundles per minute, either automatically or semi-automatically, has been introduced by Remmele Engineering, Inc., St. Paul, Minn, Called the Remmele Conduit and Tube

Bundler, the new machine being operated with touch control is designed to wrap pres- sure-sensitive "Scotch" brand filament tape around a wide variety of rigid or thin wall conduit, steel and copper tubing, and numerous other long, slender objects.

It can be quickly. controlled bv the turn of a dial to meter out the desired number of tubes or conduit automatically and arrange them in the shape desired for a spe- cific packaging, shipping, or material hindling operation. Arranging is done simultaneously and automatically, and selected bundle shape is maintained during the entire taping cycle. The machine achieves a tight uniform bundle by controlling the tensiorr of the tape.

Heavily constructed for reliable operation, the machine is designed for bundles up to 6 inches in diameter. Standard models- are available for tube and conduit lengths of up to l0 and 20 feet. The machine may be spe- cially ordered to handle almost any size length, however.

The versatile bundler, electrically and pneumatically operated, has many potential uses, including the bundling of numerous types of plastics, lumber. and metal extrusions, Remmele pointed out.

Poine on the Price of Freedom

These are times that try men's souls.

The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we attain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it should be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be lightly rated.

The Mysierious Ecrsl

A Japanese importing firm had an account against a lady to which she paid no attention in spite of her bills and urgent letters soliciting payment. So the head of the firm wrote her a letter, which read like this:

"Dear Madam: If you do not at once send the money which is owed here, we will immediately take such liberties as will cause you the utmost astonishment."

Jackson and Johnson got into an argument over a matter that required mental mathematical calculation, and they had come to difierent conclusions. "I'm right," said Jackson.

Lirle Men ond Big

It is interesting to watch and listen when strangers meet.

The small man will immediately begin to tell of his accomplishments or achievements. The big man will say little of his success.

The unimportant individual seems to feel that must 'get over' a good first impression of his consequence. The man

of weight can afford to wait.

Nothing is quite so sure a sign of a man's smallness as his high pretensions of oppressive greatness.

The big man does not have to brag-the little man must. Discount that man who immediately begins to tell what he has done.

Hurry not to tell how big you are.

A small boy who was sitting next to a very ritzy lady in a crowded street car kept sniffing in a most annoying way, until the haughty lady could stand it no longer.

"Boy, have you no handkerchief ?" she demanded sternly.

The small boy looked her over very thoughtfully for a few moments, and then solemnly replied:

"Yes'm, but I don't lend it*to strangers."

Hubbord on Loyqlfy

Loyalty is that quality which makes a person true to the thing he undertakes.

Loyalty supplies power, poise, purpose, ballast, and works for health and success.

Nature helps the loyal man.

If you are careless, slipshod, indifferent, nature assumes that you wish to be a nobody, and grants your prayer.

Loyalty, in one sense, is love, for it is a form of attraction.

A vaccilating mind is a slick mind, in a sick body. Vaccilation is lack of loyalty-and it is a disease.

Loyalty is not a mere matter of brain capacity; success does not go to those who know the most-it gravitates to those who are true to the cause they undertake. "This one thing I do."

Every man who succeeds in anything wins through his unflinching, unfailing, tireless loyalty.

Success hinges on loyalty. Be true to your art, your business, your employer, your firm. Dalliance is defeat.

"All is fair in love and war" is a maxim that may be true as regards war, but never as to love.

Love is founded on faith, and he who violates faith vitiates his own nature and wrecks the venture.

Loyalty is for the one who is loyal. It is a quality woven through the very fabric of one's being, and never a thing apart,

loyal yours. Hubbard

The Young Preocher's Mission

Preacher stories come and preacher stories go, but none of them is ever any better than that grand old one about the young preacher and his first sermon.

He was a recent graduate, had received his call to preach and rose before his congregation to deliver his first real sermon. He had worked hard and laboriously on it, and determined to start off with a bang, having learned that the two most important parts of any address are a good start and a good finish. So he began:

"My dear friends, in accepting this pastorate, I do so with a deep sense of the obligations that rest upon a minister of God, even in this too-modern age. I came to this congregation to do my best to follow in the footsteps of the Master, my mission being, so far as I am able, to heal the dead, to cast out the sick and to raise the devil."

Masonite Corporation's Design-Service-Counsel (D.S.C.) program was discussed by Paul B. Shoemaker, executive vice-president, at a panel session devoted to "Building Sales Through Sales Promotion" at the ninth annual marketing conference of the National Industrial Conference Board in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City Sept. 21.

In developing his topic, "Coordinating Sales Promotion with Other Marketing Activities," Shoemaker brought out how Masonite, through the application of marketing principles, is helping make Design-Service-Counsel a successful vehicle for lumber dealers to capture their share of the home improvement business.

A color advertisement on D.S.C. in Living for Young }Iomemakers, he said, has strong consumer appeal "because it is 'news'

COTIIPAJ{Y,

and it provides answers to the consumer's question, 'What will this do for ME?' It has strong customer interest, as well, for the D.S.C. dealer is right in the picture by name and location"'

He said that D.S.C. has order-profit performance because it gives the salesman vital support in terms of full line selling.

Since orderly distribution in most any segment of the business community is 'hard to come by' nowadays," he declared, "a marketing plan that provides a retailer with a 'built-in' sales control at the point of sale gives him and his supplier a brighter earnings potential than one that opens the sale at an auction level. Profitable marketing action takes place."

Exclusive Uni-Mount End Allows Two New (lregon Bors lo Fit llost Choin Sows

Two new OREGON Saw Bars, the roller-nose Roll-O-tronic and standard DuO-tronic. are 'now available with exclusive Uni-Mount End for easy installation on most makes of chain saws, Guy E. Sabin, general sales manager for OMARK Industries, Inc., announced this week.

The new OREGON Uni-Mount End fits 18 major brands of direct drive and geared saws: Barker, Bolens, Burns, Clinton, Cobra, David Bradley, Eclipse, Eska, Homelite, Indian, Lombard, McCulloch, Monark, Mono, Wright, Remington, Solo and Ward. Distribution of the Uni-Munt End bars will result in reduced bar rnventory costs for OREGON dealers, as they now need stock little more than two basic models.

"Years of bar manufacturing experience have gone into the development of these two bars and the Uni-Mount End," explained Sabin. "Through rugged laboratory and on-the-job testing, we've made sure these new products are ready for the hardest daily use.

"Both the Roll-O-tronic and the Duo-tronic Saw Bar are MICRO-MANUFACTURE processed from selected steels, heattreated by our special O-TRONIC method and backed by the industry's top factory guarantee. In short, these bars are specifically engineered for long, trouble-free life."

Manufactured by the OREGON Saw Chain Division of OMARK Industries, Inc., Portland 22, Oregon, the OREGON bars are available nation-wide through a sales organization of over 8,000 dealers and distributors.
