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.

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-
