(Ertracts from a letter receiued by us from the Pacific Materials ComPany, of San, Francisco).

"We find your Pacific Five-Ply sells even more readily than we anticipated when we undertook its distribution in this territory.

This letter is typical of many we have received from dealers who have profited in handling Pacific Five-Ply. Ask us to send you details showing how YOU can profit in the same way.

"Not only is there a satisfactory repeat business but we find many of our best dealers are those who formerly insisted that their trade was too cheap to need wallboard at all. This is especially significant when you remember that Pacific FivePly sells at a higher price than other boards.

"We have also been rather astonished at the almost con-rplete way in which the wood fibre wallboards have gone off the market. Not only are they not carried except by one or two dealers, but you can scarcely see their samples or literature in the various offices. We also find a very goocl trade from people who otherwise might have used plaster board-Pacific Five-Ply having many of the advantages of plaster board and none of its numerous disadvantages.

"We believe any distributor could make a success of handling Pacific Five-Plf if they go at the matter systenatically and energetically."

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE AS IT AFFECTS THE LUMBER BUSINESS

By Geo. R. Christie

He told of the reasons for the organization of the Association, its phenomenal growth, and showed how in the face of legislative amendments which increased the cost T/o, it had reduced the premium rates 33 l-3/o, and then saved for its members an average of. 37.78 on every dollar paid in.

He claimed that the retail lumber risk to a rvorkmen's compensation insurance carrier was what the 98/o'phvsical risk was to a life insurance company, the thing that produced the profit with rvhich the losses of the more hazardous classes are paid.

The retail lumber business could get the benefit of the low loss rate it produces by getting in a class by itself. provided that class is managed by those having the welfare of the lumber fraternity directly at heart.

The Friday sessions closed with a round table discussion on various topics : Cement, Lumber Conditions, Ilest Types of Lumber Sheds, etc.

Lumber Sheds

Mr.

H. E. Miliken

While establishing a model "Best Type of Lumber Shed" would be a mighty important thing for the retail lumbcrman, ttrcre are so mirny varying conditions that enter into shed construction that several types would have to be studicd and approved to frll thc need.

Outside of the fact that two distinct ways of storing lumber are now commonly used, namely the fat piling method and thc upright piling method, which call for entirely difrcrcnt typc sheds, ttre shape and "lay" of the yard sitc plays an important part in deciding what kind of shed is best suited to the purpose. I know, in planning sheds in two of our yards, we did not gct just thc type wc wanfcd for thc rcaroD that rc did Dot @ddct it pectice[ that particrilar point, a|l thh$ .bciDg.*.f4f+. . ; nr6babty the-mosi ccooomicat shA ;lct dcrilcd for aa sizc suburban rctail lumbcr Fr4 b thc doublc dccl ttpc both sides for tro way pilink.
