A fact to stir your pride. In no other part of the world than California is the RSDWOOD to be found. So suggest to your customers ffre California uood for California hotttes.

It was in REDWOOD that the California Bungalow took its first and most attractive form. Since then many new materlals have been tried,-about which we make no dispute. But the fact remains that the REDWOOD home is ffre all-California home.

REDWOOD deserves the threadbare phrase, Beauty and Utility. A wood famed for its soft, red, satiny finish, it has no rivals for tanks, vats and silos and other purposes where it is subjected to wet and chemicals.

Fungi do not thrive on REDWOOD and REDWOOD shingles do not fear chimney sparks. May we help tell your customers-

Charlie Bird, of Stockton, in addition to taking an active part in the Convention proceedings, also carriid down six kittens to be initiated at the Concat. Charlie is sure one live "Bird."

Rod Hendrickson sure did his stufi pretty on the piano at the Concat. Rod is an artist at tickiing ihe ivoriei and the way he keeps the Boys in step is immense. We hope that he doesn't miss a Concatenation for a lo'ng time to come.

J. Walter Kelly and J. A. MacWatters did the humanitarian stunt on the night of the Concat. As they wer€ emerging from, the Merchants Exchange Building after the concatenation, they noted a pedestrian on California Street, who seemed to,be in distress. They rushed him off to the Emergency Hospital and a diagnosis of his case showed that he had been drinking bad liquor. Walter says, it was just one of the many "boots" that you must expect if you indulge in boot-leg spirits.
