WE SPECIALIZE

For 20 years we have stuck to one game"California Cargo."

Our experielce has convinced us that the Hart-Wood System of having at all times a large stock of lumber on hand and in transit best serves the California Retaile,r.

Our reward has been the constant and steady growth of our business.

It used to be the style to have fancy buildings, both exterior and interior. The more scrolled,work, and the more intricate it could be made. the "finer" building it was.

But these "dust catchers" went out with the advent of finely figured veneers for practical purposes. The heavy old | 2 panel (efiect), solid, has been discarded for the common sense one panel door veneered in Figured Red Gum.

Millwork plants of today do not have to.depend upon intricate design for their special jobe. Louieville Figured Red Gum will lend to that job an air of somcthing difierent.

For your inspection a stock of both vencers and plywood is carried in Los Angeles. Write

Los Angeles HooHoo Hear About Fones

There is something decidedly lacking or wrong with the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club and it might possibly help matters to give the thing a little publicity.

In spite of the hard work, the intelligent work and the constructive effort that President Wickersham is giving the Club, aided in every way by his fellow officers and directors, in spite also of the splendid programs that have been prepared, the attendahce at these weekly luncheons is pitiful and is getting smaller each week.

What is wrong, you fellows that are not attending?

The Los Angeles Club has 250 names on its regular weekly mailing list, and of this large number there will be about twenty-five or possibly thirty that will be on hand each week.

This is all wrong. The Hoo Hoo Club was organized for a purpose, it is fulfilling that purpose splendidly and it needs the support of more members. It should not be necessary to urge men to attend meetings that have been prepared for their education and entertainment, but it seems that it must be done. Each week 'Wick' puts in hours planning the next Thursday's program, then Secretary Jim Chase puts in a few more preparing and mailing the notices, and all of this effort is rewarded by the attendance of possibly two dozen loyal supporters.

The loss is to the fellow who does not attend.

On November 19th, Vice President Cliff Estes presided, in the President's absence, and the meeting was the most interesting that has been held by this club for many days.

Mr. Andrea Nordskog, Chairman of Publicity of Mayor Cryer's "Telephone Committee", and a leader of the fight by the citizens of Los Angeles against the telephone rate increase granted by the Railway Commission to go into
