Red River Lumber Co. Exhibit Attracts Attention

One of the most attractive exhibits ever seen at a lumbermen's convention was that of the Red River Lumber Co. at the convention of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association. held at the Hotel St. Francis, San Francisco, November 15 to 17.

The exhibit was in charge of Bert M. Smith, assistant sales manager, who was kept pretty busy answering questions abouf the beautiful large sandblasted "factory finished" panels which formed the main part of the exhibit.

These California Pine panels are sold in sizes up to 5x1O feet, one piece face. SeleCtion of finish is made from standard samples. Colors and color combinations are also made to order, although for convenience and lower production cost 12 finishes are made standard.

Samples of five-ply Pine plywood cut in the shape of a fat pig were given iway, and thesd were so'popular that sevelal cases -of them disappeared in a very short time, Mr. Smith being forced to tell the late owners that the pigs had all walked away.
