People in business institutions who come into contact with the public, are becoming more mannerly and courteous all the time. It is one of the finest signs of the times to realize that all modern business management recognizes the incomparable value of courtesy and kindliness and interest. In hotels, stores, depots, theatres, everywhere-you are more courteously treated than you ever dreamed of in years gone by. Business has learned that throwi4g bouquets pays better than throwing bricks. Every time you find yourself treated with more than necessary courtesy and interest, show your appreciation. Thus the tide will grow.

Psychologists say that the average person uses only ten percent of his brain power. To run an old ifashioned lumber yard, or an old fashioned sawmill, this was probably plenty. But unless we miss our guess the lumber folks will have to get a much larger percentage of their thinking capacity into active operation during the next few years, if thetr are to keep step with the times. With the Elstlllr facturers of other building materials setting the pace at creating business, and the mail order retail stores selling homes and building things house-to-house, the old ten percent average will only.land us in the scrap heap.

All wise men and philosophers have agreed that success in life means finding happiness-not necessarily finding material wealth. Many men make a success IN life, who entirely fail to make a success OF life. The happy man is the successful one. And, since happiness can only be founded on demonstrated USEFULNESS, it follows that the successful man is the USEFUL man. Happiness is just a by-product of a useful life.

Profits are what the lumberman has left after all the bills are paid. Right now we are approaching the season of the year when the lumberman is wondering just how much cash per dollar his book accounts are worth, how his stock will inventory, and how his books will balance on December 3lst. This is the time of the year when he severely repents unwise sales and toolax credits-when he loolrs with joy at those accounts that are gilt edged, and with groans at those that are doubtful. It is now that he realizes the axiom that a sale is never consumr mated until the goods are paid for. Inventory time, and book balancing time approach. Everyone is getting set for them.

The surging foodof color is being considered and discussed on every hand in business as the tide swells. It rerninds us of the lumber dealer who is a keen paint mer-

chant also, and who was asked by a lady on the street: "Do you sell paint?" and who answered, .,No, lady, I sell color schemes." Truly, many new lines of business have gone in for color schemes, and others are ready for the plunge. Who would ever have believed that the tSpewriter salesman would make his chief sales talkon giving the buyer his "choice of five attractive and permanent colors"? We know that beautiful colors and, color blends and combinations have sold more automobiles in the past three years than driving performance. fnstances are given where an automobile model entirely failed at first sight in plain colors, and went strong when light and attractive colors were substituted. Storekeeper reports of foods jumping immediately in public demand when offered for sale on the counter in attractive colored packages instead of plain packages or bulk, are frequent. In New york they reported that books that were slow in moving were rebound in attractive colors and immediately came into demand. We all know what colors have done for costume jewelry. There are thousands of other examples all around us of the pub_ lic craze for attractive colors. It is proving so with holes, home equipment, etc. And it should and will be carried much farther in the building business. The most attractive home f have seen in a year has one room that hotds the attention of all visitors. rt is one in which the floor is of strips of hardwood of blended *colors.

An English magazine calls attention to the fact that many of our orthodox wedding rites are pagan in their derivation. The veilis a continuation of the eastern rule' that the husband must be the first man to see the wife's face; throwing rice is an old Eastern custom, symbolizing a wish for plenty in this, their chief food; the iirrg o'tt" fourth finger of the left hand comes from the old Roman belief that a nerve leads directly from that finger to the heart; shoe throwing comes fromthe Orient, where the bride's father used to give a shoe to the bridegroom to show that he surrendered to him the right to beat his daughter with shoe or slipper; the wedding cake is also fromthe old Roman custom where the bride and groom alwa5rs atd cake in front of the priest as part of ttrJ wedding geremony, etc. Likety all very true.

These, says the writer quoted from, are relics of the days when woman was a chattel. Undoubtedly! Giving tie bride away in our Christian eeremony is arelic of such times. And they weren't pagan, either. They come direct fromthe Bible, in rvhich Book all women were chattels. TheLord, according to Genesis, said to Eve, when He cast herout of Paradise, ..Thy husband shall rule over thee." And St. Paul, in the New Testament, says: ..\it/ives' submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord."

I've often wondered how woman's rights and Funda(Continued on .Page 8.)

All men are novy pretty well agreed that energy is the chiefest characteristic of success; that an average man who possesses great diligence, will do more than a genius who won't work. And diligence, mind you, is from the Latin, diligere, which means "to love." The diligent man is the man who loves to work. See?

Col. Greeley, Secretary of The West Coast Lumbermen's Associatioq tells of a single sawmill of moderate size in the Northwest which in 1927 realized $50,000 from the conversion of mill waste into pulp chips, selling materialthat had formerly cost them money to get rid of. Col. Greeley indicates that the time is probably coming when the by-products of thd lumber mills of the North-

Long-Bell Cuts Last Louisiana Log

- The Long-Bell Lumber Company cut its last log in the State of Louisiana about two weeks ago, when its Lake Charles mill blew its rvhistle for the last time, and then shut down.

This marks the ending of one of the greatest timber deals in history, when, about 1905, Mr. Long bought the greatest stand of Long Leaf Pine in existence, and built a great battery of mills to cut it up.. These mills have been passing for the_past four years, until now the last one is gone. Thi Lak_e Charles plant produced about 20O,000 feet of pine lumber daily.

Not only was this the last Long-Bell mill in Louisiana, but it was also the last mill left in Lake Charles, which city twenty years ago was the biggest sawmill town in the entire South, with thirteen mills operating in its limits. Not one remains of the many historic plants that ran there.

west will bring more profits than their lumber business. He reports that five pulp mills onthe Columbia River alone used 17,000,000 feet of hemlock, spruce, and white fir logs for pulp in the month of August, 1928. Spruce and hemlock are the twobigpulp woods of the Northwest, adaptable to the leading paper making processes in use there, while Douglas Fir mill waste is thus far limited to plants that manufacture sulphate and soda pulp. Broad experimentation now under way will probably increase the use of the t"la.t. *

Dr. Wilson Compton says that the most widely diversified group of industries ever gathered under a lumber banner will participate in the 1929 advertising and trade extension campaign of the National .Lumber Manufacturers' Association. In the group will bethe big lumber manufacturers, timber owners, loggers, lumber wholesalers, wood box and crate manufacturers, wood preservers, flooring manufacturers, furniture manufacturers, millwork manufacturers, and shaft and handle makers.

Mr. White is a well-knowh lumbeiman, and needs no introduction to San Joaquin and Sacramento Valley lumbermen, as he traveled this territory for the Califoinia Door Co. when he was associated wiih this concern for many years as manager of their yard at Folsom. He recently sold out his interest inthe East Bay Lumber & Mill Co., Oakland, v/ith which he has been connected for some time. He is a director of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, and has always taken the keenest interest in association work.

This Man is Helping the United States Take Wings

TS" iq. C._O. Johnson, of Portland, Oregon, president of the Pacific Spruce Corporation.

- He used to live in Aikansas, and later in St. Louis. He was in the sawmill business in the South alll his life until a few years ago, when he migrated to Portland.

There-he bought a great-mill, built by the government durrhg the war to cut fpruce, and he bought the great for- est-rnostly Spruce-that stood behind t-he big inill, and he started making lumber.

.Things went al6ng just so-so until recehtly, and then the big- thing happened. Lindbergh hopped the Lig pond, and suddenly America took wingi. Flying is noiv -the rage. Something unprecedented in humari tristory is happeniig right now. Man is taking winss.

A_nd- the wings are buililargel-y of Spruce, don't you see. And the Pacific Sprtlce Corporation, which Mr. iohnson heads, owns one of the bigglst and highest grade stands of Spruce in the whole world, and rianufa-ctures more Spruce than any other existing mill.

So, don't you see, business at present with Mr. Tohnson and -his Spruce Corporation is mighty, mighty good.

When you figure that there ari iir Sou-thern'California alone, some thirty {actories making nothing but aeroplanes. and that some of them buy their Spruce fifty cars at a clat- ter, and that other faetories are springing up all over the la'nd-then you will understand trow UuiinEss is with .C.D.';

Annual Convention California Retail Lumbermen, Hotel St. Francis, San Francisco

November 15, L6 and L7, 1928.

The Program Committee of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association are responsible for what will probably be the most important program ever presented at any of their Annual Conventions. The subiects for discussion get down to questions which face the retail lumbermen every day, and you cannot possibly afford to miss any of the sessions. The Association urges all California lumbermen, whether members or non-members, to attend.

Methods of Local Co-operation

What is the best plan of co-operation among local groups of retail lumbermen ?

Is is legal for the dealers in a community to fix a price that will returh a reasonable profit? (There will not be any long theoretical speeches made on this subject, just open discussions from the floor, led by men of vast experience, not only in the working out of plans of local co-operation, but also thoroughly familiar withall legal angles).

Methods of building up retail price lists.

What perce'ntage should be added to your cost f.o.b. cars your yard to arrive at a retail price list? Should there be a discount on face of list on counter trade?

Dealer Distribution

How does the attitude of the lumber manufacturers on dealer distribution compare with the manufacturers of roofing, cement and other lines ?

Has a wholesaler or manufacturer who is selling lumber strictlyto retail yards, any right to refuse to quote a retailer who wants to ship into another's territory, etc. ?

Are Grades and Practices of Saw Mills Obsolete?

Is it fair to the customer to sell him common, which is a mixed grade of No. 1 and No. 2 when he expects to get No. 1?

Wggtd it improve the retail selling price by eliminating variable grades, etc. ?

-Colonel ,Greeley, Secretary-Manager of the great saw mill organization of the Northwest, witt be present at this session with a large representative group of lumber manutacturers.

Remodeling of Old Houses into New ffomes

Can a lumber dealer build up his sales and profits by this method, etc. ?

How to Get Your Money's WorthOut of a Trade Association

There are many retail lumber dealers in the State who know that they get many times the value oftheir annual dues by belonging to a trade association.

f.'here are others who do not, nor do they realize the weapon which is at their hand if they will but irse it. Learn what your Association can do for you.

White Ants (Termites)

How can damage by termites be prevented ?

A very important question before the lumbermen of the United States today, and especially in some parts of Calitornla.

Forestry Appropriation Advocated

Washington, Nov. 6.-Wilson Compton, Secretary and Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, has addressed the following letter to General Lord, director of the {ederal budget, urging liberal appropriations in support of the Woodruff-McNary, Clarke-McNary and McSweeney-McNary forestry acts:

November l, 1928.

General Herbert M. Lord, Director of the Budget, Treasury Bldg., Washington, D. C. Dear General Lord:

At the forestry hearing in your office on October 11, we urged upon you the importance of continuous and orderly development of the national forestry policy embodied in the Woodruff-McNary, Clarke-McNary and McSweeney-McNary Acts. That policy calls for increases in appropriations under the Clarke-McNary lawof $43q000, under the McNary-Woodruff law of $1,000,000, and under the lVlcSweeney-McNary law of $288,000 for the fiscal year 1930. You have indicated your familiarity with our problem and your sympathy with the increased appropriations necessary to carry out the forestry program. Without going into detail, therbfore, I desire to draw your attention to four major items in the forestry program which deserve particular consideration. These have to do with increased appropriations for forest fire cooperation, forest products research, forest experiment stations, and investigation of termite infestation.

It has been estimated that $600,000,000 annually can be saved through research and investigation of methods of utilizing waste materials and improved methods of using forest products. The actual results thus far accomplished in that field by the Forest Products Laboratory confirm the practical possibilities indicated. To cite an example, many of which could be furnished, research in the mechanical properties of wood has resulted in more efficient use of heavy construction materials which saves annually more than the entire Federal appropriations for forest products research for the last fifteen years. The program of work facing the Forest Products Laboratory which gives real promise of practical and useful results would easily justify appropriations twice the $505,000 they are now receiving. We regard the forest products item as of the greatest present importance ofall forest research.

Under the McSweeney-McNary Act, a maximum of $1,000,000 was authorized for forest products research, with the understanding that present appropriations would be

increased annually until at the end often years the full amount would be available. No increase was granted last yea!. Progress toward better utilization was correspond- inglyretarded. It should not be retarded further. - It is therefore of first importance that the increase of $50,000 asked for this work, in accordance with the McSweeney Act program, be granted this year.

In order to encourage the development of adequate forest fire protection by the several states and private enterpriqe_, ,t!r9 Clarke-McNary Act authorizes appiopriations up to $2,500,000 annually to be expended in CoopCration with states which meet certain requirements and regulations fixed b_y the Department of Agriculture. These-requirements have been met to the extent to require the fulf sum authorized if the Government is to hold up its end in the program. We have asked that $400,000 be added to the present appropriations of $1,200,000. This additional sum is sufficient to permit cooperation to the extent of one half the contemplated program of equal expenditures by the Federal Government and the states.

The forest experiment stations are the base from which all forest research is carried on. Stations have now been established ii practically every forest region in the United States and programs of essential work have been carefully prepared for their guidance. We ask that ffi,300 in addition to the $354300 now being expended for the upkeep of these- experiment stations be added to next yearts ap- propriations to enable them to keep abreast of-the carlfully laid out plans fortheir work. This amount'is the proportional increase contemplated under the terms of the McSweeney-McNary Act.

Termite damage to wood construction and wood articles has reached the proportions of a serious threat and an emergency. It has had the attention of the Government and the lumber and associated industries for some time. Considerable has been accomplished in the way of better construction methods, wood preserving and the like to cut down losses due to termite infestation. The problem, however, is fast assuming proportions comparable to those of the boll weevil in cotton and the corn borer in corn groiv- ing districts. Termites, formerly largely limited to the South and Pacific Coast, appear now to be extending into other regions. We strongly urge that as an emergency measure, appropriations sufficient to permit a thoiough study of causes and practical measures o{ prevention be granted before the infestation gets out of control. What can now be done with thousands, will then cost millions.

Very truly yours,

WILSON COMPTON, Secretary-Manager.

Utilization of Sawmill Waste For The Manufacture of Wood Pulp

By W. B. Greeley, Secretary-Manager West Coast Lumbermen's Association

The use of sawmill waste for the manufacture of pulp, in the Pacific Northwest, has long passed the pioneer stage. It is well developed in the case of spruce and hemlock because of the excellent pulping qualities of these species and their adaptability to all three of the leading processes, that is, for ground-wood, sulphite and sulphate pulps.

The use of Douglas fir mill waste is thus far limited to three or four plants manufacturing sulphate pulp and two plants which mix it with other species in the manufacture of soda pulp.

The yields of pulp chips from sawmill waste in current practice varywidely between different mills because of their varying situation and policy in the manufacture of lath, box shook and like products, in the disposal of slab wood for fuel, and in the production of hog fuel. The actual yields reported under present methods of chip productionat hemlock mills range lrom I-12 to 5-8 of a unit of 20O cubic feet of chips per thousand board feet log scale of logs manufactured. One experienced operator puts the average yield at one unit of. 200 cubic feet lor each 4f thousand feet of logs manufactured at plants which operate lath mills, and at 2 units for each 4rf thousand feet of logs at plants which do not produce lath. The yields from spruce mill waste run somewhat lower because of the relatively close utilization of this species for lumber products.

At a number of hemlock mills, the No. 3 Common lumber is now converted iqto pulp chips, producing about one unitof 20O cubic feet per thousand board feet of lumber. This form of utilization probably adds from N to 25 per cent to the yield of pulping material.

As a general average for the West Coast hemlock mills, it is probable that about 1-3 of a unit of pulp chips is now obtained from each thousand board feet of logs manufactured, through the utilization of mill waste and low lrade lumber for this purpose.

An equal yield of pulp chips is probably attainable, on the average, from the conversion of Douglas fir mill waste if all slab wood is utilized for this purpost rather than fuel in one form or another. One plant is now using some cedar in the manufacture of sulphate pulp, and this species may also be regarded as a potential source of raw material fgr an expanding pulp and paper industry in the Pacific Northwest.

The cut of hemlock and spruce saw timber in the Pacific Northwest, including British Columbia, in 1927 was ap- imately2,24O,W,W board feet; while the cut ot proxrmately Z,Z4{0,{J.N,Q{J/') cut of D_qqg-l$ fir and cedar saw timber was approximately 10,170,000,000 board feet. At an averase vield of 1-3 of a 170,000,000 At average y of

lnit of pulp chips from each thousand feet of logs manu- factured, we riray thus estimate a theoretical supply of raw material for the pulp industry, in the form of mill waste and low gra4e lumber, of about four million units annually. Accepting the ratio of two units of chips for each ton of manufactured pulp, this raw material would be sufficient, were it actually available for the purpose, to produce about twomillion tons of .pulp annualy. Approximately 1-6 of this total would consist of pulps for whiCh spruce and hem-

lock are- adapted; while 5-6 would constitute the pulps for which the utilization of Douglas fir and Red cedir froves feasible.

It will, of course, be_ readily understood that any such figures on pulp material supplies available from mill wasle picture a theoretical maximum, not the quantities of wood actually available to the pulp industry. -The geographical location of many sawmills will doubtless exclide-thim as a practicable source of supply for the pulp industry for at least some time to come; and the widespread use-of mill waste for slab fuel and hog fuel will probably always materially restrict the volume of mill wasfe economicallv available for the manufacture of pulp.

Other economic factors have ln important bearing upon the limits of cost within which mill wiste can be ar"E*bled i.{om widely distributed sawmills for the production of pulp. The pulp industry on the West Coast ii already utilizing directly large quantities of logs. Five plants in t'he Colum"bia River district reported to the West Coast Lumbermen,s Association the- use of approximately 17,000,00O feet of hemlock,- spruce an{_White fir logs ior pulp during the month of August. The use of round cord w-ood cutlrom small timler or logging waste is also well established. The economics of raw materlal supply for the pulp and paper industry in the Pacific North*ist are now in'the p-..." of $.ev;lopryent in these several directions, necessari'ly con- trolled by the relative costs of the difierent classes of material when reduced Io pglp chips as well as by the quality of the pulp produced and otheifactors connejted wittr tne particular process or operating program of the individual pulp plants.

I was advised at one Puget Sound sawmill that the conversion of its No. 2 common hemlock lumber into pulo chips is now under consideration. This is a further indi'cation of the many ramifications which the quest of the pulp industly f9r suitable and economical supplies of rar,r, material will take as its development progresses. In this progression, there will undoubtealy be-a further and more complete utilization of sawmill waste for the various grades of pulp, finding its proper place along with the direc"t conversion of logs into pulp chips, oflow grade lumber, and of round wood from the logging camps.

One of the greatest booni to the forest industries of the West Coast would, and undoubtedly will, be realized in a further technical development of fhe sulphate and soda n4ning processes, and doubtless others ai well, so as to afford a wider outlet for the still enormous quantities of unutilized Douglas fir mill waste. With the intensive research now under way, future progress in the manufacture of Kr1_ft pulps from Douglas fir will undoubtedly material- ize. From the standpoint of more complete ind better correlated use of the forest grown materials available in the Pacific Northwest, this is one of the most important fields for further advance.

It is, of course, an obvious remark that the development of the pulp and paper industry on the northern pacific'Coast is, from all standpoints, a most promising phase of prog-

ress in the present utilization and also in the future peroetuation of it. fot.tt resources. The pulping industries provide the best solution yet ofiered--for the utilization of initt and logging wastes, not convertible into lumber products, whictitav"e hitherto constituted one of the most serious drags upon the efficiency and prosperit-y of the lumber industry of this region. The progress of torest lndustrres the woild over, in- financial returns' stability, and opportunity to reproduce their raw materials through the practice of forestry has been co-ordinate with the degree of utilization of iorest grown materials attainable and upon the correlated, or intlgrated, use of such materials for a variety of commercial products. Th9 more rapidly the forests oi the West Coast-pass beyond the "one-product" stage of industrial development, the more rapidly will the many oroblems surrounding the financial success and permanence Li ttt. industrial str-ucture based upon these forests be solved.

Whether the so-called "by-products" of our sawmills and logging camPs prove to bi more remunerative than their luirier", as his 6een true in the case of other large indtrstries, or not-the development of the pulp and-paper.industiy cannot fail to inirease the returns to the timber o*rr.l, logger and lumber manufacturer and thereby to put greatJifinancial strength- an-d stability into the whole induitrialstructure. I recently learned of one sawmill, ot

moderate size, which in 1927 realized nearly $50,00O from the conversion of mill waste into pulp chips and hog fuel, material whose sheer disposal had previously cost a strbstantial figure.

Even toiday, the conversion of low grade logs and of low grade lumber'into pulp chips is beginning to r-eliev-e the over-production of lumber at West Coast sawmills, directly in ^the grades which do not normally return the cost of oroductioi. This mav in time attain sufficient proportions io become a positive ielief in solving the most fundamental problem of tire West Coast lumber industry; namely, that bf adjusting its production to the requirements of available markets.

The development of the pulp and paper industry, furthermore, with the capital investments attending it and the interest in permanent supplies of raw material, also promises to "t."ie a powerful iionomic incentive for commercial reforestation in the Pacific Northwest.This region will not be the first where the feasibility of growing stands of pulp wood in relatively short periodshas prgyel the .en- i.tittg wedge for indusirial forestry. -From this-long-time viewfoint, is well as from its immediate contributions to u rofotiott of the industrial problems of the region, th9 sound development of pulp ind paper manufacture is of the greatest promise to allof the interests of the Pacific Northwest identified withits forest resources.

Distinctive Homes

Floytl Dernier

The twenty second edition of Distinctive Homes has just been published by the Lumbermen's Service Association of Los Angeles. The book contains a great variety of inexpensive home building suggestions, ideas and building plans. Each plan is a distinctive creation in itself, no two are alike, and they represent all sizes, styles and kinds of architecture.

This edition carries the photographs of around 150 attractive homes together with the floor plans for each structure. It has a very attractive front cover with space available for the dealer's name, while the back cover can be utilized for dealer advertising. 50,000 copies have been printed for distribution.

The book has been compiled and copyrighted by Floyd Dernier, who is well known to the lumber dealers of California. This book will be a valuable asset to the lumber dealers, which they will find of great assistance to prospective home builders.

Building and Loan Companies Continue to Forge Ahead

Los Angeles building and loan associations continued to forge ahead in the quarter and year ended September 30, according to figures made public by the California Building-Loan League yesterday.

Total resources of associations with headquarters in Los Angeles on September 30, 1928, was P4,697,217. This compared with $89,064W,342 on June 3O of this year and $71,135,956 on September 30,1927. In other words, the combined assets of building-loan associations in this city increased 33.1 per cent during the last year and 6.3 per cerrt in the third quarter.

These figures do not include outside associations with branches in Los Angeles. With the inclu,sion of these associations, the figures would be much larger.

Every Los Angeles associationr. as well as every outside association with a branch here, reported greater resources on September 30 than on either June 30 or September 30, t927.

While the smaller institutions generally showed the largest percentage gains for the past year, many substantial increases were revealed.

Thirteen of the purely Los Angeles associations reported increases of $50o,ffi0 or more during the year.

In The Good Old Lumber Game

Often times I've sat and pondered As the office clock sings quit Where have business hours wandered ? What has caused the day to flit ?

Seems like weelss just go a tearing Into months and even years. Just get used to January Then December reappears.

There is something fascinating In this lumber game of Ours59"p" you guessing, gripping, fighting, While the clock grinds out the hours.-

Here's a husky bill to figure Fair in profit if we win Wonder how the rest will read it ? Will they add his weights and trim ?

Hasn't put a grade on Rustic Flooring only marked V. G. Will the yard around the eorner Figure two or figure three?

Then we finally land the business "Yes, on extras we'll be fair. lend a load out yetthis evening" Then the clock begins to rare.

Life is crammed with human nature When you fight the retail game. Qrins are seen from many angles Then there's one or two who blame.

Most would like to pay as promised Then there's some who never will. Some have luck that jerks your heart strings, Even hate to send a bill.

"Peaches hever brought no money", "Spiders all my beans have chewed," "'Wrecked my car and got a new one," "Paid up every one but you."

There are some, we know a thousand, Hear them at the yard each day. Still the most of them are honest And the boss helps find a way.

Friends we make across our counter Friends that stuck through thick and thin. Tell their friends our lumber's better, Say we peddle with a grin.

Dish out doors and load up scahtlin's, Sell or lose, it's justthe same. These are things that make the clock fly In the good old lumber game.

"That's the name. My boy, Ji*, was telling me about it. He's been using it in manual training work in the high school and said it would be just the thing for us to use in finishing some extra rooms in the attic."

Lots of folks would do more home carpentering if they knew about this handy material. The dealer who etocks Pa-Co Fir Plywood and pushes it can not only build u-p a good trade in it but it will help sell other material to go with it.

Valley I umber Company have State Highway Division Spec- Exhibit at Fresno Fair ify Redwood for Bridges

One of the interesting features of the 1928 Fresno Coun!l Fair was the log bungalow exhibit of the Valley Lumber Company of Frisno, ealifornia. The exterior wis made from 3x6 Redwood log cabin siding. The roof covering is Perfection red cedar shingles. Celotex was used in thE interior, while Sheetrock covered with Texatone was used in the breakfast alcove.

For the past several years, the Valley Lumber Company has participated in the Fresno County Fair where they have exhibited their building materials.

In the lumber exhibit, they had an attractive breakfast set consisting of a table and four chairs, hand finished in the very best of workmanship and material. This breakfast set was given away to the person holding the lucky

R. F. Hammatt, secretary-manager of the California Redwood Association, announces that the IJnion Lumber Company's mill at Fort Bragg is now filling an order for ap- proximately 198,000 feet of Redwood in structural gradis for two new state highway bridges to be built just north of San Simeon on the new Coast Highway in San Luis Obispo county. The contract for these bridges was awarded by the state to F. W. Steffgen of San Diego. Construction is scheduled to start immediately and the bridges are expected to be completed before the heavy rains. The bridges will be 100 per cent Redwood, including the piling.

The Redwood is being inspected at Fort Bragg by the department of inspection and grades of the California Redwood Association.

This is but one of several state highway jobs on which structural grade has been specified by the Division of State Highways. The order was secured by J. A. Greenelsh, manager of the Pacific Coast Coal Co., San Luis Obispo.

STANDARD PLANS DEVISED FOR HOUSING THE COMBINE AND TRACTOR

Depreciation of modernfarming equipment through weathering is very costly to large farm owners. The repair and replacement cost of such equipment as combines and tractors is making serious inroads on farm profits. Lack of standard designs and plans for structures in which this expensive machinery can be economically and handily housed is blamed for much of the neglect that has resulted in weathering depreciation.

To meet this situation the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association has had a group of its engineers working for several months on the designing of a standard set of plans for structures that will give the necessary shelter within the proper range of economy. A two-fold set of plans has been developed; one for a combine, tractor and farm implement building and the other for a combine and tractor shed rvith farm shop.

number in the free drawing. To get an idea of the number of people who passed through this particular exhibit, the company issue,d 11,500 tickets on the breakfast set.

From four to six of their best men were in the exhibits at all times, whose purpose was to create good will on the part of potential customers and also excite in them a desire for better things in the way oI home cohstruction. The Built-in kitchen fixtures particularly were designed to appeal to the person owning an old home susceptible to modernization.

The company had a second exhibit at the fair which exemplified durable and fireproof construction in the shape of Johns-Mansville rigid asbestos shingles, and Steeltex fabrics used as a base for exterior stucco and interior plaster.

Sound construction, convenience and serviceability and economy were considered essentials in drafting the plans aqd the bills of material to accompany them. They are being made available on request to those interested in farm management and construction. These plans may be secured gratis from the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association's Washington office or any of its offices in the larger cities.

Trade Customs of The Hardwood Lumber Business

fssued by the Service Department, White Brothers, San Francisco

The present day trend towards centralized purchasing in business, particularly in the larger concerns, mak'e it quite necessary that the purchasing agent must be well versed in a great many lines of trade and trade customs. To absorb all this knowledge requires a great deal of effort and in addition we must take into consideration that trade customs are constantly changing.

Orders or inquiries placed for hardwood lumber requirements with the local hardwood lumber dealers, when analyzed, show that there is a lack of knowledge as regards the trade customs of this important business.

This article is written for the purpose of endeavoring to assist the buyers with the purchase of their hardwood requlrements.

The lumber business of the Pacific Coast is divided into two distinct and separate businesses, which constitutes the softwood yards and the hardwood yards. Softwood yards stock onl;y' the coniferous woods produced onthis coast, such as pine, fir, spruce, cedar, redwood, etc. Hardwood yards stock all commercial broad-leaved woods from all parts of the world, such as oak, maple, ash, hickory, poplar, birch, basswood, walnut; ironbark, teak, mahogany, lignum vitae, etc. Oak and mdple flooring and dowels are also carried in stock together with veneers and plywoods made from different kinds of cabinet woods, including fir and cedar.

By following the suggestions given belorv, misunderstandings in filling of orders will be entirely eliminated:

General Information

The highest grade in hardwoods is termed firsts and seconds, and this is the grade universally stocked by the dealers on the Pacific Coast. Lower grades are carried in stock

You'll never know how good wall Board can be made until you've seen the 66NE!V"

in some woods, but it is always understood that firsts and seconds will be furnished on all orders unless lower grades are specified by the purchaser.

In the majority of woods the grading rules of firsts and seconds require stock to be six inches and wider and eight to sixteen feet long. Due to the fact of the high grade demanded by the trade here, the percentage of wide widths and long lengths is limited. For this reason stock twelve inches and wider and sixteen foot lengths take a premium in price. To secure a better run of stock and ata much lower price, it is advisable to buy narrow stock and short lengths, when possible. To make really the most satisfactory bargains, give your cutting sizes, which will enable the dealer to fill your order to better advantage.

A few woods may be had in lengths from 18 to 48 feet long. These lengths are much higher in price than standard lengths. Occasionally orders will be received for stock 18 feet long out of which customer intends to cut 2,3,6 or 9 feet lengths, the same applying to even longer lengths. This is not economical.

Several years ago ohe of the departments of the United States A.rmy mailed out an inquiry specifying one piece of. llxl6xl6 feet clear hickory. Our firm was unable to quote on this width and length. Upon telephoning to the officer responsible for this inquiry and endeavoring to ascertain for what purpose a board of these dimensions was intended, he replied that he did not know, but would investigate the matter for us. ft was learned that a carpenter had made out the requi'sition for this specification and that the piece was to be ripped up into a number of pieces llx3x3 for axe handles. This instance is not intended for the pur-

pose of casting any reflectiori upon the Army, but it is a common occurrence with the purchasers of hardwood. Several pieces of 6 inch, o.r 9 inch wide and 6 feet, 9 feet or 12 feet long would have served the purpose at a much lower pflce.

To eliminate waste in the mahufacture of hardwoods, boards are edged only sufficiently totrim off defects, with the result thaf widths run in fractions of an inch. Lengths are trimmed to odd or even lengths.

To facilitate the tallying of these odd widths, all boards are tallied with what is knowh as a board rule. This rule is three feet long with a graduated scale of figures. By first measuring the length and then applying the rule across the width and reading the scale, the actual square feet of surface measure is oblained, and from this the board feet contents are easily computed.

Due to the firm texture of hardwood, the ends usually develop a few inches of season checks and this condition must 6e taken into consideration when figuring your requirements.

Flooring which for instance measures 13/16 feet x 2'/.4 feet face is figured as I foo! x 3 feet for footag-e, as this is the size neceisary to make the finished size. In this particular size of tongue and groove flooring, to a given amount of square feet of floor surface to be covered add 33-l/3 per cent to figure the board feet of flooring required. - This procedure applies to all other sizes of tongue and groove.

Panels and veneers are sold according to the square feet of surface measure.

1929 Hoo Hoo Annual to be Held at Amarillo, Texas

M. M. Riner Kansas City, Mo. Snarh of Universe

Policies and activities of Hoo-Hoo International for the ensuing year were.given through consideration by the recently elected Supreme Nine, at a meeting at the headquarters of the Order, in St. Louis, October 2A, 21, and 22.

Amarillo, Texas, was selected as the scene of the next Annual Meeting. The ahnual held at Boston recently fixed the fourth Wednesday in September as the date on which future conventions of the Oider must begin.

The inerease in dues for Active Membenship in the Order, which the Boston cohvention authorizes, will not be put into effect by the Supreme Nine next September 9th, as directed for lack of authority under theBy-Laws. A resolution on this subject was adopted, as follows:

"The Supreme Nine, believing the action of the Thirtyseventh Annual Meeting in regard to increasing the dues for Active Membership from $5.00 to $6.00 a year to be ineffective because it did not meet the requirements of Article 7A, of. the By-Laws, which require a three-fourths favorable vote of the convention for the passage of any amendment to the Bpl-aws, hereby proclaims its inability to put the proposed ihcrease into effect, because of lack of authority to do so."

The Supreme Nine went on record as opposing the acceptance of any advertising for publication in the Hoo-Hoo Bulletin and recommending to the next Annual Meeting that the By-Laws be amended to provide that the acceptance of advertising for The Bulletin be prohibited for the future.

This action merely supported similar decisions of the past, as The Bulletin never has been open to advertising of any nature.

The meeting made the following apportionment of territory to the various members of the Supreme Nine: M. M. Riner, Kansas City, Snark of the Universe-Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Iowa,'Colorado and Nebraska, and all foreign countries excepting Canada. Gaines D. Whitsitt, Amarillo, Texas, Senior Hoo-Hoo-Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana. A. C. Dixon, Eugene, Ore. Junior Hoo-Hoo-Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Wyom- ing and British Columbia. Franklin A. Hofheins, Buffalo, NJ Y., Bojum-New York,New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New llampshire, Maine, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and District of Columbia. Charles L. Schwartz, Naperville, Ill., Scrivenoter -Illinois, Indiana,'Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Herbert L. West, Atlanta, Ga., Jab-' berwock-Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. Charles G. Bird, Stockton, Cal., Custocation-California, Nevada, Afizona and Utah. Adelard Beaudette, Montreal, Canad,a, Arcanoper-All of Canada excepting British Columbia. W. G. !_mit!, Akron, Ohio, Gurdon-Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. The only member of the Ninewhowas not present for the meeting was A. C.

Dixon, of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co., Eugene, Ore., who was unable to attend because of business pressure.

The other members concurred in the following statemeht, issued by Snark of the lJniverse Riner at the close of the meeting:

"The responsibilities and the opportunities that have' come to Hoo-Ifoo through our assumption of an important part in the Wood Promotion program ofthe Lumber Industry, should arouse in every Hoo-Hoo not only a feeling of pride in this recognition of our ideals, but a sense of personal obligations to carry out our part of the program.

"By undertaking to promote the greater use of Wood, Hoo-Hoo has not sacrificed ahy of its principles or abandoned any of its ideals as the fraternal Oider of the Lumber Industry. Rather, we have strengthened these principles and ideals, for in fostering the legitimate practical interests of the Lumberman, we are cohtributing to his health, happiness and long life, both as a Lumbeiman and a Citizen.

"The program that Hoo-Hoo has espoused not only invites, but demands the co-operation and support of every Iumbermah, regardless of the branch of the Industry with which he is identified.

'tThe Lumber Manufacturer should be a Hoo-Hoo because the Order has 12,00O men out on the "firing line" advocating .the use of lumber in preference to substitutes and otherwise building up a demand for the products of the Lumber Manufacturer.

"The Retailer, with more thah 80 per cent of his investment and about the same percentage of his sales represented in lumber, should be a Hoo-IIoo. because Hoo-Hoo is creating good will for Lumber, thereby enlarging the sales field for the Retail Lumberman.

"The Sash and Door Manufacturer and Distributor should be a Hoo-Hoo for the same reason-Hoo-Hoo is advocating the use of wooden sash and wooden doors in preference to substitutes for these rhaterials,.

"The Lumber Salesman should be a Hoo-Hoo because Hoo-Hoo creates a favorable opinion of lumber and thereby makes it easier for the salesman to make sales.

"The man who works in the office of a lumber company, whether it be that of a manufacturer. wholesaler. or retailer, should be a Hoo-Hoo because the surest road to a better income and a bigger job is to help increase the business and the profits of the firm for which you work-and the only way to do this is to help encourage the greater use of its products.

"In other words, every man who is connected in any way withthe Lumber Industry stands to profit in a material way from the constructive work done by Hoo-Hoo in Wood Promotion. The Manufacturer cannot do his part to support the efforts of the men on the "firing lihe" unless he is an active, enthusiastic Hoo-Hoo. The Retailer, The Sash and Door Man and all others concerned with the production and distribution of the various products of the

Lumber Industry, inciuding the employe, likewise must turn to the cooperative spirit of Hoo-Hoo to achieve thetr ultimate ambitions.

"It is the purpose of Hoo-Hoo to work in the closest_ possible harmony -with all of the trade associations of the I-.;umber Industry. Theirfight is ours. 'We already have "Key Men"woiking in various districts in co-operation with the National -Lumber Manufacturers' Association. Now we wish to appoint a man in each district or each territory who will ait as a point of contact between the Retail Association representative in his territory, and HooHoo.

"For, in the last analysis, our real work is hot to move the products of the Lumber Manufacturer into the Retail Yard, but to move the stocks of the Retailer into the hands of the Consumer. To do this we must cooperate with and have the co-operation of the Retail Lumber Associations.

"Worki'ng together honestly, earnestly, courageously, without thought of immediate personal profit, we can help so to increase the consumption of lumber that not only the Lumber Industry as a whole, but each of us individually will benefit from larger and more profitable sales and bigger jobs and better incomes."

Annual Architectural Exhibition

The Annual Architectural Exhibition of Photographs and Allied Arts, tinder auspices of the Southern California Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Los Angeles Architectural Club, the Architects League of Hollywood, the Pasadena Architectural Club and the Long Beach Architectural Club will be held in the Exhibit Rooms' of the Architects' Building, Fifth and Figueroa streets, Los Angeles, from November22 to Decembei 8.

This exhibition, held at the end of each year, marks the culmination of architectural development in Southern California during 1928. It has more than local interest, since the progress of architecture in Southern California is being watched significantly by architects all over the world.

Pictures for the Exhibition are being selected by a committee made up of well-known architects, with Palmer Sabin, chairman. Judged by its character in previous years, the Exhibit will represent the work of Southern California's most prominent architect. The sponsorship of the four clubs, with the consequent interest that will be aroused among their many members insures variety to the representative exhibit.

One of the first Annual Architectural Exhibitions was held in Hamburger's Department store in 1913, agd one has been held practically every year since then, with the exception of those during the world war.

THE MOUNTAINEER'S CREED

Is there any better creed than that of the kindly old mbuqtaineer who was asked how he managed to keep on such good terms with his neighbors, and replied: "f reckon it's because I spend so much time criticising myself that I ain't got no time to find fault with other folks. The good Lord don't expect me to make anybody good except myself, but He does expect me to love my neighbors and try to make 'em happy. And if f can do that, inaybe it'll work around the other way, and make them good and me happy."

A CUTTING SUGGESTION

Judge: "Before I pronounce sentence, have you anything to say?"

Ex-Barber: "Yes, your honor. I'd like to shave the prosecuting attorney once more".

A RESTFUL AMBITION

Oh ! To be a turtleA slow, lethargic turtle, With nothing in the world to do

But crawl around the wholc day through.

To sit upon a mossy log

And idly gossip with a frog.

To dwell amid the rushes cool

Amid some clear and fragrant pool.

To know no matter what befell

I could but crawl into my shell

And let the whole world go to Hell !

Oh ! To be a turtle !

THECITY BANKER

Returning from a visit to the big city, the farmer told his family: "Some of them city bank fellers are pretty slick with their fingers. I seen one of 'em in a bank window, and durned if he didn't have to keep a wet sponge alongside to keep his fingers from gettin' hot. He told me so hisself".

A POET SPEAKS TO MARS

To take some simple little words And make them laugh and sing; To catch the melody of birds And make the echoes ring; To bring a smile where smiles are few To lighten someone's task; This would, I'm sure, seem vain to you, A foolish think to ask

But I could seek no finer fame

Could ask no greater prize, That smile and sunshine to reclaim In sorrow-brooding eyes. It needs but gentleness and truth, It needs scant skill or art, To brush aside the wreck and ruth And reach the saddened heart.

Let him who will choose battle's crash, The laurels won by might, And proudly march mid war and clash, The victor in the fight; For me'twere triumph greater far Than cross bestowed by king, To go where gloom and shadows are With words that laugh and sing.

AIR CASTLES

It is wisdom to build castles in the air, but it is folly to stop there. Go at your foundation, pile stone upon stone until you reach your castle. Then it's yours.

EVIDENTLY THE CORRECT ANSWER

A charming young lady with a poodle in her lap was riding the street car. She was making quite a fuss over the dog. The blue-nosed woman next to her sniffed several times, and finally said: "What a fuss to make over a nasty little dog. Don't you think it would be more sensible if that were a nice little baby you. were fussing over?" "I hardly think so", replied the girlwith the dog; "you see, I'm not married".

IT.B.UARIS PANEL COMPANT

Fageol Chief Says Truck Operation Much Saner Than With Passenger Cars

Owners of commercial vehicles have a right to expand their chests with pride when the accident record of trucks is compared with that of pleasure cars, according to T. R' Bill, Sales Manager of the Fageol Motors Company, who in making an analysis of accident rePorts on city streets and country highways in the western stat€s, has discovered that, on an average, ten drivers of pleasure cars are more apt to come to grief than 1000 drivers of trucks.

sonalitv: for motor trucks have become as important in selling as sh6w rvindow displays. This has been shown by thi quick response to Flgeol's introduction of smart .olors "ttd i*ptoved appearaice in all its trucks. The drivers must not only m-eet rigid standards as safety engineers, just as our trucks must meet the most severe tests f-or relia6ility and flexibility, but they must also be able to see the house they represent in their contact with the public.

^

"'We find that the number of accidents with Fageol vehicles is almost negligible," Mr. Bill declared,. "yet .there are a good many trfuers of pleasure cars who still go cruisin[ around with the false opinion that truck drivers are a rienace. As far as drivers of Fageol trucks are concerned, they have seven speeds at their control, steel brakes, a responsive motor anda vehicle which can scarcely te thrown out of control. Fageol had a world reputation for its sreat buses, where absolute safety with speed was the first"essential, and it has applied what it learned in building of buses for flexibility and control to the manufacturing of irucks, with the rezult that it revolutionized the truckbuilding industry.

"The"man at tiie wheel of a Fageol has ten times the control of his vehicle than has the average man driving for Dleasure. Besides that, the driver is a man who has been 'selected for his proved ability to handle a car on the highway. He must come up to -much higher tests as a driver than the person at the wheel of a pleasure car. Not. only that, but -he must meet rigid tests as to character and per-

"Then, too, the operation of a truck is a purely,business proposition. A man might keep putting- !fi an- adjustment bf fiis bratces, for instanie, on a car he drives for pleasure, but he would never permit his Fageol to be neglected in anv oart. first becausi it is so essential to his business and r..ond, because Fageol service is so complete and uns-tinted. that there is no e*cuse for not keeping the vehicle at its most efficient point atall times."

The Fageol sales chief pointed out,that all of these reasons are applicable to trucks only,-and not to pleasure cars, and explained why 1000 truck drivers are-le-ss apt to run into trouble on stieets or highways than 10 drivers of passenger cars.

"it is time," he said, "for the world to acknowledge that the motor vehicle for safe commercial transportation is perhaps the greatest single contributing factor to the naiional'prosp.iity tod"y and to recognize that the men who own tiucki and the men who operate them are not only willing, but able, to hold their own in doing a big job with a minimrtm of mishaPs."

The House That Jack Built

By Jack Dionne

This is the House that Jack built.

This is the Tenant, raised in rent, Who lives in the House that Jack built.

This is the notice, lately sent, To oust the tenant, raised in rent, Who lives in the House that Jack built.

This is the loud and fierce lament, Which greets the notice lately sent, To oust the tenant, raised in rent, Who lives in the House that Jack built.

This is the lawyer, eminent, Who adds his wail to the loud lament, Which greets the notice, lately sent, To oust the tenant, raised in rent, Who lives in the House that Jack built.

This is the judge on justice bent, Who lists to the lawyer eminent, Who adds his wail to the loud lament, Which greets the notice lately sent, To oust the tenant raised in rent, Who lives in the House that Jack built.

This is the landlord opulent, Flayed by the judge on justice bent, Who lists to the lawyer, eminent, Who adds his wail to the lament, Which greets the notice lately sent, To oust the tenant raised in rent, Who lives in the House that Jack built.

This is the boost in taxes sent, Around to the landlord opulent,

Flayed by the judge on justice bent, Who lists to the lawyer, eminent, Who adds his wail to the loud lament, Which greets the notice lately sent, To oust the tenant raised in rent, Who lives in the Ifouse that Jack built.

These are the curses eloquent, That follow the boost in taxes sent, Around to the landlord opulent, Flayed by the judge on justice bent, Who lists to the lawyer eminent, Who adds his wail to the loud lament, Which greets the notice lately sent, To oust the tenant raised in rent, Who lives in the llouse that lack built.

This is the sale to another gent, Which followed the boost in taxes sent, Around to the landlord opulent, Flayed by the judge on justice bent, Who lists to the lawyer eminent, Who adds his wail to the loud lament, Which greets the notice lately sent, To oust the tenant raised in rent, Who lives in the House that lack built.

This is the same old incident, Another raise in the tenant's rent, Another loud and fierce lament, The same stout lawyer eminent, The same old judge on justice bent, Another landlord opulent, But the same old boost in taxes sent, And the same old curses eloquent, Then another sale to another gent, Of the same old House that Jack built.

New El Rey Shingle Weyerhaeuser New Operation

Introduction of the new El Rey "Tri-Tab" shingle, said to be the only true hexagon shape shingle on the market giving double and triple roof coverage and carrying the Underwriters' Class C label, has just been announced by N. L. Brinker, sales director of the El Rey Products Company.

The"Tri-Tab" is smaller and more compact than the 'standard hexagonal shingle and for that reason offers less wind resistance and less chance of curling, according to the official. The new shingles are of asphalt, surfaced with natural slate, and are obtainable in red, green and blueblack colors. In addition, they are sunproof, waterproof, and never require any paintin& Mr. Brinker said.

The new El Rey "Tri-Tab" shingles are lapped in such a manner on a roof that they provide a double thickness over the entire area, with approximately 20 per cent covered with three thicknesses, he explained. As the slabs are easier to nail securely, they are said to make a roof more uraterproof and more permanent.

Nearing Completion

Rapid progress is being made at Longview by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. in establishing what is expected to be the company's largest single operation. More than 1000 men are employed in construction work on the 600 acre mill site on the Columbia River front and on the company's timber holdings on the Cowlitz River watershed.

The operation will include three sawmills with a designed cut of 700,000 feet in eight hours, and is scheduled to begin cutting eady in 1929.

Expressions of Appreciation and Cooperation

The following are excerpts from some of the letters addressed to H. T.

E. R. MAULE, Manager, MILLWORK SURVEY SERVICE, Los Angeles, Calif.:

I _1* very enthusiastic about the standard specifications for "Accredited" millwork that I have thus fai been privileged to read.

!.-!. GRAHAM,Vice Pres. & Gen. Mgr., CHICAGO LUMBERCO. OF WASHINGTON, Oakland, Calif.:

You boys who are doing the major portion of the work in connection with the "Accredited Slandards for Architectural Woodwork" are certainly entitled to a vote of thanks by all of us who are not able to perform such serv- ices. . This is something new to the -purchaser of millwork and we will have to put our shoulders to the wheel and push it forward. In my opinion there is no ques- tionthat we are on the right track and I think Hank Didesch is doing a wonderful amount of work and he has more energy and ambition along these lines than almost anyone else with whom I have come in contact.

PAUL OVEREND NAMED SNARK OF PENINSULA DISTRICT

Paul Overend, field representative for the California Retail Lumbermen's Association, has been appointed vicegerent snark of the Peninsula District.

The Peninsula Hoo Hoo Club will hold their next meeting on the evening of November 26, at the Commercial Club, San Jose. Mr. A. W. Griewe will be the speaker, his subject being "Keeping up with the Times."

I want to congratulate you upon your "Accredited Standards for Architectural Woodwork" and vour Service Bulletin No. 33 just received in the mail. -I consider thatthis is the best effort that has been made on the part of the woodworker$ to get a contact with the architect and I wish we could do more of the same nature. I am convinced more and more that if we are to meet the trend of the times wemustdo something to keep the merits of wood before the architects and thus meet the competition of the manufacturers of substitutes who are spending a great deal of money for this purpose. We are not doing enough to get the attention of architects to our product and consequently the other fellows are making headway, and to our greit disadvantage-

FRANK T. PHILLtrPS, Treasurer, THOMPSON LUMFEB qO., Minneapolis, Minn. (Associate Member, M. r. c.):

_Here are -my dues for another year. I don't know just what date they are due but I want to be sure they are always.paid, so I can get your valuable bulletins on price questions and on all your progressive work. More power !g you. Received copy ofthe plan book. Many Thanks. Your ad is a dandy and full of progressive ideis, just as is everything that comes from your office.

S. O. HALL, Secretary, MILLWORK SERVICE CORPORATION, Chicago, Ill. :

Your plan is more fully developed than I anticipated from the reports which have reached me, and is undoubtedly a great stride toward a Millwork Industry of which we can be proud. There seems to be no obstacie to the establish-

with the Sash Door and Mill Workers

ment ofa Certification Plan through the medium of my organization. I appreciate your early response to my request for information and shall feel at liberty to call upon you if in need of further advice.

C. E. MORRISON, PACIFIC MANUFACTURING CO., Los Angeles, Calif.:

As a whole the Standards thus far submitted by your office are certainly deserving of the highest commendation.

E. A. NICHOLSON, General Manager, PACIFIC DOOR & SASH CO., Los Angeles, Calif.:

The mills in this neck of the woods are quite sold on the idea and they believe it is the only thing to do at this time. Such important firms as . (names deleted) . as well as ourselves are heartily in accord with what is being done, and judging from the Standards that have already been compiled, it is their opinion that "apin is being stuck" into whatis real millwork, which cannot help but have its effect on the trade. Where we have mentioned it to Architects and Contractors they have also responded in alikemanner. I personally believe that it is a great forward step and one in rvhich all the members of the Millwork Institute of California can thank Mr. Didesch, yourself and the other workers on it, very heartily.

WALTER S. SPICER, Secretary, BARR LUMBER COMPANY, Santa Ana, Calif.:

'We are very much interested in your Certified Millwork program and are satisfied that this line of procedure will eliminate a lot of our difficulties and are very anxious to do our small share in furthering this program.

The Home Builders Store

"It was during,my early years in the retail lumber game in Montana that I began to read A. L. Porter's stuff in the old Western Retail Lumbermen's magazine urging lumbermen to improve their methods and join the ranks of real merchants, and his stuff was good, too. Later I ran into your stuff in "The Gulf Coast Lumberman," which I read for several years, and now I read it in "The California Lumber Merchant." It has been this reading that has had much to do with the way I have tried to develop my business, and I do not hesitate to say so." So wrote Robt. W. Baird, manager of The Home Builders Store, in sending in a photograph of his plant at Carlsbad, California.

The Home Builders Store is located withina hundred feet of the main corners of Carlsbad, and is 42 feet by 6O feet, containing the store proper and service rooms, and a well ordered ware-room for mill work, paper, etc. The yard extends 30O feet back and joins the right-of-way of the Santa Fe railroad. They own their own property.

The store and service roorns were designed for two purposes; to properly display their merchandise, which is everything in the building line; and to assist the home builder to see what it wanted, rvhat it looks like, and further yet, to give the home builder an opportunity to make an intelligent selection. AsMr. Baird writes, "there are hundreds of building helps, some large, and many of them

small, in our store and service rooms to show our customers exactly what they want, or should want, or are interested in." Roofing and stucco samples are on a small structure on the outside of the building where they are subject to actual weather conditions.

fn answer to our question, how he runs his business, Mr. Baird states: "Well, it is run, not as a lumber yard, but as the name implies, as a building store. We never lose sight of this. Our business is to sell materials, but there is a heap sight more fun in the game when one develops the business from the first desire, and sees it through to a happy and satisfied home owner. Of course, the materials go along with them. We do not enter the building field, and our relations with our contractors and carpenter friends is a very friendly one."

Mr. Baird has always been interested in modern lumber merchandising methods. It started over twenty years ago when he took up architectural drawing in high school in Chicago. Later, after graduating from the University of Chicago in 1912, he spent two years at a sawmill in western Montana. Then followed his retail experience, all of which was spent in Montana except the last two years. He sold out in Montana in the spring of. L926 and started his present operations at Carlsbad. At Carlsbad, he is assisted bv his associate. C. M. Davv.
