Splendid Display by Barr Lumber Company

The booth occupied a prominent position and was viewed by thousands. It rvon first prize, for being the most educational display.

The fence is a replica of the fence around the Santa Ana plant of the Barr Lumber Company, a picture of which was shown in a recent issue of this iournal.

The floor was of No. I Common Oak Flooring, %"2r/q inches. The panels forming the back wall were Upson Tile tlvo feet up from the floor, enameled French Grey. Standard Upson Board lvas used two feet down from the top, the intermediate four feet was filled with ten choice hardwood panels, each trventy-four inches wide.

The center of attraction in the booth rvas a moving dis- play dramatizing the difference between paying rent and ownipg a home. The house on the left in the picture, which you will see was comparatively plain, was represented as a renter's house. The mechanical doll standing behind it drops money into the chimney which subsequently rolls out of the front door, across the lawn and drops out of sight at the front edge of the display. The doll standing behind the other house also drops money in his chimney. It stays in the house.

A sign dt the back of the display between the houses told the story as follows:

WHICH OF THESE MEN REPRESENTS YOU?

This man (indicating the renter), pays rent. Rent money rolls out of the house and is gone forever.

This man (indicating the home owner), owns home. The money he spends for shelter stays in to beautify it. his own his home
