The California Lumber Merchant - December 1941

...

O If you're selling Douglas Fir Plywood only for walls and ceilings and for cabinet work, you're passing up a great many profit opportunities. Douglas Fir Plywood is truly "the modern miracle in wood" because new uses are being discovered every day. Take Plyscord, the utility sheathing grade, for instance. It's ideal for wall and roof sheathing, for sub-flooring, for laying under linoleum, for one-use concrete forms. Or take the Exterior type. You can sell it for house siding, farm strucnrres, boats, signseverywhere large watef-Pfoof panels are required.

But you can stimulate youf biggest Douglas Fir Plywood volume by telling builders about DriBilt with Plywood construction. Builders profit from this method because they can erect better homes in less time and with less work. Andyour profits arelatget because you sell lnore I'r-ber yard materials. The free Dri-Bilt manual gives full details. \(rite now if you haven't a copy-or ifyou need extra copies.

THE CALIFOR}IIA LUMBERMERCHANT

How Lumber Looks

Lumber production during the week ended November 15, 194L, was 8 per cent less than the previous week, shipments were 3 per cent less, and new business one per cent less, according to reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association from regional associations covering the operations of representative hardwood and softwood mills.

During the week ended November 15,462 mills produced 2D,I3I,W feet of hardwoods and softwoods combined, shipped 230,450,000 feet, and booked orders of. 216,937,W feet.

Lumber orders for the week by 386 softwood mills totaled 206,135,000 feet, shipments were 220,348,000 feet, and production was 218,456,000 feet. 89 hardwood mills for the week gave new business as 10,802,000 feet, shipments 10,102,000 feet, and production 10,675,00O feet.

Seattle, Washington, November 10, 1941.-The weekly average of West Coast lumber production in October (5 weeks) was 179,459,000 board feet, or 112.7 per cent of estimated capacity, according to the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in its monthly survey of the industry. Orders averaged 154,882,000 board feet; shipments, 173,497,W0. Weekly averages for September were: production, 172,255,W board feet (87.5 per cent of the I926-l9D average), ; orders, 153,566,000 ; shipments, 17 1,87 l,m. 44 weeks of 1941, cumulative production, 7,391,596,m board f eet 1 same period, 194M,014.99O,000 ; 1939,-5,427,o72,Acp.

Orders lor 44 weeks of. l94l break down as follows : rail, 4,26,574,0W board feet; domestic cargo, 1,963,27I,ffi0; ex' port, 187,431,000; local 1,015,453,000.

The industry's unfilled order file stood at 607,399,m board feet at the end of October; gross stocks, at 854,452,000.

The two features of the West Coast lumber situation at this period are the completion of the all-out production drive urged on the industry by defense agencies in midsummer, and uncertainty due to restrictions on building metals and to the shortage of ships.

In its response to urgent defense requirements for lumber, West Coast production since midsummer has exceeded estimated possibilities by about 15 per cent. Deliveries have been made on schedule, even in the most urgent cases, and the volume of unshipped orders that the mills had on their books during the summer months has been substantially reduced. The emergency summer job is done.

It is uncertain how the future of the industry will chart itself amid a maze of different factors :

(1) There will be additional requirements for national defense, with a probable new cantonment program in the winter and spring.

(2) More lumber is being used in heavy construction, taking the place of steel.

(3) The industry is heavily handicapped in important markets by the shortage of ships.

(4) The moSt important factor is the decrease in private (Continued on Page 30)

Back in 1918 when *" "** *""U War was raging, old John L. Sullivan, most famous of all heavyweight pfize fighters and himself an old man and close to the grave at that time, predicted that the Germans would lose the war. But he gave a different reason for his opinion than was generally Biven then, or thought of now. The Hun was bound ro lose, said the famous old slugger, ..Because they get mad too quick." He added: "In the prize ring, when you see a fighter begin to boil over and see red in the first round, you know that the next thing he won't be able to see at all." So, he deduced that the Germans would lose the war because they are mad all the time they are fighting. rJ*{.

And old John L. sent THfS message to the American soldiers fighting in France, and it was recorded in all the newspapers of the country at that time. He said: ,,Tell 'em they can't go wrong if they keep their feet warm, their heads cool, and their mouths shut." Which is not bad advice for any men, any time.

For it was Napoleon who said: "The cure for civil dissension, is war abroad." That was the way Napoleon figured the thing. Maybe HitIer did, also.

We have heard and read a lot about the part the lumber industry has been playing in the defense program. But every where I go I hear and see new and remarkable demonstrations to prove it, not only with the lumber industry proper, but with some of its associated industries. For instance, the other day I went into a huge woodworking plant that was engaged in manufacturing doors of various sorts. I watched the skillful manufacture of some of the finest softwood doors I ever saw made in my life, thick, strong, wonderfully constructed slab doors, made from the finest materials this continent can produce. And I was soon told. They were barracks doors, to be used in the housing of American soldiers "somewhere outside this continent." They were built to specifications, and were a marvelous product.

***

In another spot I saw the very finest screen doors being made that I had ever laid eyes on. Wonderfully selected wood, heavy copper wire with copper reinforcements, doors of unusual thickness and strength that looked good for an entire lifetime. I was assured that they were lifetime doors, and they were being built to'specification for some more of our American boys' lodgings, somewhere in the world. A barracks requires strong doors, and strong screens to stand up under the use to which they are put. Wherever these barracks may be, they will have the finest

doors and screens that money can buy. Which is the way it should be.

At still another place I went through a woodworking plant that has been entirely transformed into a factory for manufacturing woodwork for some of the great fleet of defense boats this nation is building. In this case the con' tractors leased an entire big warehouse, filled it with the finest machinery and mechanical equipment to perform the services desired, and put an army of skilled men to work cutting, fitting, gluing, and preparing a thousand different pieces of woodwork to be used in the interior of our new ships. The finest of materials are used to turn out the finest possible wood products.

In still another place I went to, I spent hours looking over a tremendous stock of wooden ship timbers, the like of which I had not seen before. All of them came fronr foreign lands, and were brought in to fill the need of our ship building program for hardwood ship timbers of a size and character difficult to secure from our American forests. I saw hardwood timbers as big as big Douglas Fir timbers, yet as straight, and as clear as any softwood timber I ever saw in my life. Imagine very dense wood, something like oak yet more dense, with no knots or defects in sight, twenty-odd inches square, and thirty or more feet long. I saw lots of this. It comes from South America, to supply a need for big, straight, long, clear, dense hardwood timbers for boat building. I saw smaller foreign hardwood boat planking and timber up to forty feet long, and practically clear. I was told that the owner of this particular stock of stuff has been searching the world to find hardwood to fit the needs of the boat building effort we are now making. Never have I inspected a more impressive looking timber yard than this one. For all these huge timbers were straight. ***

All over this country in innumerable woodworking plants, men are making things for the defense program that they never made before. All someone has to say to them is-"this is what q7s q7a1f"-4nd they get it. Forrnulas have been changed, machinery has been improvised and rearranged, and anything else necessary has been done to provide the wooden things, in whatever shape or style desired, that any of the governmerrt agencies or contractors need. Versatile is the name for wood, and the wood workers of America are today performing genuine miracles and Iots of them, to provide this nation with whatever wooden things it may need, in this time of emergency.

Manufacturers Re-Elect President M. L. Fleishel---Forest

Industries Representatives Spend Five Days on Delense Problems

Washington, November l7-M. L. Fleishel, Shamrock, Florida, was re-elected president of the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association for a third term at the final session-Friday, November 14-of a five-day general meeting of lumbermen at the Blackstone Hotel, Chicago. Other newly elected ofificers are: I. N. Tate, St. Paul, Minn., first vice president; W. M. Ritter, Columbus, Ohio, vice-president and Treasurer; J. M. Brown, Spokane, Wash., Earl M. McGowin, Chapman, Ala., W. W. Kellog!, Monroe, La.,

Two extra features were added to this year's meeting series-a luncheon session devoted to the Tim,ber Engineering Company, and a "National Defense Clinic." "Breaking New Trails" was the description given to the Thursday luncheon rneeting jointly addressed by H. G. Uhl, secretary of the Timber Engineering Company, and R. G. Kimbell. Both speakers outlined strides made within the last year in the use of timber as an engineering material. A pictorial record in the form of a new 3?-page booklet containing over 100 illustrations of timber engineering in the interest of defense, was presented to the lumbermen.

The "National Defense Clinic" was a mass conference with the following defense officials concerned with priorities, purchases, civilian supply, conservation and substitution: John Foley, lumber advisor to the Division of Purchases, OPM; H. A. Anderson, Bureau of Industrial Conservation, OPM; Hugh Riddle, Chicago office, Defense Housing Coordination; Peter Stone, price executive, Lumber & Building Materials Unit, OPA; Edmond H. Eitel, assistant manag'er, Division of Priorities, OPM, Chicago office. An opportunity was given the lumbermen to question each speaker.

and Corydon Wagner, Tacoma, Wash., vice-presidents; and Wilson Compton, secretary and manager, Industry problems associated with national defense, public relations, new opportunities in forest products research, and future foreign markets for American woods, were the principal problems before the lumbermen. The general meetings, which opened on Thursday morning with the address of the President and report of the Secretary-Manag'er, were preceded by three days o{ committee meetings devoted to the work of the Forest Conservation, Manufacturers' Standardization, Advisory, Public Relations, Trade Promotion, and Nominations and Recommendations groups.

The lumbermen indicated their belief that farm and home building, which might otherwise proceed, is being unnecessarily curtailed by public misunderstanding of priorities regulations, and asked the Supply Priorities and Allocations Board to clarify what was called present widespread public confusion.

As large users of railways, they also deplored the threatened strike of the Railway Brotherhoods, who have declined to accept the recent findings of the President's Emergency Board. The lumbermen characterized the refusal of either party to the controversy to agree to the findings, as injurious to shippers and contrary to public interest in a time of emerg'ency. They asked President Roosevelt to seek such action as will avoid the threatened strike and se,cure the acceptance of the recommendations of the Emergency Board.

To encourage maximum general construction and sus-

acceptance of the national defense challenge and pointed to his belief that no bottleneck has so far existed and is not expected in forest products. Mr. Fleishel characterized the present priorities system affecting private construction as a challenge to the ingenuity of the industry and called upon it to take up the task of informing prospective builders as to the su,bstitutes available for critical list items.

Pointing to an estimate that four-and-one-half million construction industries employees are likely to be out of work as a result of a complete shut-down of private building, Mr. Fleishel said he was hopeful that the Administration will not continue to feel it necessary to resort to regulations as stringent as we interpr.et those now in force.

on materials used in the construction of farm buildings needed for crops and livestock. A rating for this type of construction equivalent to that assigned defense housing was r'equested.

In opening the first general meeting on Thursday morning, M. L. Fleishel called attention to the industry's ready

In the annual report of the secretary and manager, which followed the President's address, Wilson Compton stated his belief that timb,er products generally are regarded by defense agencies as the most acceptable substitutes readily available in large volume for ma.ny of the scarce materials for important defense and civilian uses. He further stated that responsible officials want, as a matter of policy, to keep the saws running; and that he felt they looked upon lumber as an important safety-valve industry. Mr. Compton predicted that the most difficult problem for the industry next year would not be total trade, but balanced trade. Defense uses and restrictions on civilian uses may result, he said, in a heavy load on all grades in some species and o.n some grades in all species. This may result in accumulations of what may be described as the "side cut" of materials for which there is little defense demand.

but which necessarily result from the production of items for which there is a heavy defense demand.

The third speaker, J. S. Seidman, explained the effects of the 1941 Revenue Act on the forest industries; and C. P. Winslow, director, U. S. Forest Products Laboratory, spoke on new opportunities in forest products research.

Speakers at the Friday business sessions were: R. C. Winton, who explained the year's work of the American Forest Products Industries Temporary Administration Committee on Public Relations. and informed the lumbermen that the program to greatly increase the public rela-

with the forest industries. On this occasion he explained the origin of many of the fables which have risen in the public mind concerning the forest industries. John Mulholland, New York City magician, entertained the dinner guests following Mr. Holbrook's address. Stanley F. Ilorn, Nashville, Tennessee, editor of the Southern Lumberman, was toastmaster.

Important resolutions follow:

Recommendations on Priorities in the Use of Critical Materials

The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association accepts and supports control of the use of critical materials in the interest of national defense. We recognize the difficulties in the intelligent and consistent application of this principle; but we know that home and farm building is now being widely curtailed by public misunderstanding. The Association makes the following recommendations to the Supply Priorities and Allo,cation Board for the purpose of clarifying the present confused understanding of its policies and providing more defrnitely for essential types of civilian constructio.n.

First: A specific allocation of materials for the manufacture of nails in sufficient quantities to supply all construction requirements ;

Second: A priority rating for materials used in the constructio,n of farm buildings needed for the care of .crops and livestock, equivalent to that assigned to Defense Housing;

Third: Widely publicized announcement that the Supply Priorities and Allocation Board encourages all home and farm building', or all such building within stated limits of unit cost, as essential to maintain national living standards and employment; and will facilitate such building to the fullest extent possible without benefit of specific priority.

Rail Labor Dispute

The Lumber and Timber Products Industries are among the largest users of the services of the American railways and are largely dependent upo,n those services for the transportation of their products. We note that certain of the railway brotherhoods have declined to accept the recent findings of the President's Emergency Board and have threatened to call a strike to secure greater wage increases

than have been found by that Board to be just and reasonable.

We think that under the circumstances of the National Em,ergency, refusal by any party to the controversy to accept the findings of the Board is u.nwarranted, injurious to shippers and contrary to public interest.

We ask the President of the United States to seek such action as will maintain the integrity of the Railway Labor Act and will secure the acceptance by all parties involved, of the findings and recommendations of the Emergency Board.

One of the old favorite California stories is that of the illiterate Chicago Jew who spent his vacation there one summer. The ttrought occurred to him on this trip that if he could manage to mechanically learn to spell the names of some of the outstanding resorts of California he might stagger his friends with his knowledge when he returned. So he set out to accomplish this educational feat, and each of the resort cities he went to, he had someone teach him with much practice and effort to spell the name of the place. It was entirely mechanical, but he got so he could handle the job in fine shape. So the first chance he got when he returned to Chicago and found himself in a crowd

Ten Years Ago Today

From Decen\er 1, 1931 lssue

Lloyd llarris, San Francisco, gave a talk on Redwood, illustrated by motion pictures, before the Rotary Club at Calistoga, November 19, on the invitation of Jim Clark of the Calistoga Lumber Co. He also talked on the same subject to the Lions Club of Sausalito, November 25, on the invitation of Harold Bromlev of the Marin Lumber & Supply Co.

Trade promotion, relative importance of lumber and side lines, trucking, the new contractor's license law, credits and collections and legislation were among the subjects discussed by the speakers at the annual convention of the California Retail Lumbermen's Association at the Hotel Oakland, Oakland, November l9-2O-2I.

J. Walter Kelly, San Francisco, attended the ceremonies in connection with the driving of the last spike connecting the Western Pacific and Great Northern Railroads at Bieber, Calif., November 10.

Inaugurating freight traffic over the Western PacificGreat Northern connecting line in their new transcontinental route from the Northwest to the East, the Red River Lumber Company dispatched a "prosperity special" of. l7l cars of lumber and manufactured products from Westwood, Calif. This is the largest shipment of forest products ever assembled in one movement by a single manufacturer, and twenty-one states were represented in this shipment.

Arthur Twohy, Los Angeles, who is a collector of old automobiles, had one of his ancient cars, a White steamer, 1911 model, in service on November 21 when he drove two of his friends to Santa Barbara. They were not out to break any speed records but made the trip in four hours.

The eighth annual convention of the Millwork Institute of California was held at the Hotel Oakland, Oakland, November i9-20. Addresses by well known architects were features of the convention.

Allocation System for Procurement of Critical Materials

Washington, D. C., Nov. 7-Preparation for the allocation of all critical materials throughout American industry was called for today in parallel actions by the Supply Priorities and Allocations Board and the Office of Production Management.

In setting its sights for this all-out allocation program, SPAB laid down the principle that where feasible the allocation programs should be developed in such a way that minimum quantities of the needed materials would be assured to essential industries whose operations are curtailed.

1. SPAB announced that it had authorized its Executive Director to request OPM to obtain detailed production programs, industry by industry, f.or 1942.

It stipulated that these programs should contain ample information to indicate the month-by-month requirements of critical materials needed for the production of military, industrial and civilian items, and essential public services.

It also directed that these programs should show similar requirements for repair parts and capital expenditures.

2. OPM issued an administrative order setting up the machinery by which the whole program of requirements is to be developed, outlined the manner in which the various industrial branches and other units of OPM are to work together toward this end, and instituted a new system of handling preference ratings in harmony with this program.

I.t will, of ,course, take a good deal of time to get the entire program into effect. As it gradually emerges, however, the program will give greater certainty to American business and industry; and it will also mean that defense officials will have a clear, over-all picture of the nation's total requirements for raw materials, SPAB having previously authorized its Executive Director to get detailed requirements statements for the Armed Services, the merchant ship program and Lend-Lease.

In substance, the development of an allocation program will proceed roughly as follows:

An fndustrial Branch in OPM takes the first step, calling on its several sections to develop requirements programs

for each industry which manufactures the products for which the Branch is responsible.

Each program is built up by the Branch or by its Section, through consultation with the Industry Advisory Committee involved and also through discussion with either or both of the Armed Services, depending on the nature of the product and the materials used in its manufacture.

When this has been done, the officers of the Industrial Branch who have the program in charge discuss the entire matter with the Industrial Branches which have jurisdiction over the materials or the products out of which the irticle in question is made. Agreement is reached between the Branches as to the amount of material which can be allocated, etc.

Or, as an example: a program for the manufacturers of plumbing equipment would be initiated in the Plumbing and Heating Branch of the Division of Civilian Supply. It would be worked up in consultation with the industry and cross-checked to see how the military requirements situation might affect it. Then, when it had been put in shape, it would be referred to the various raw materials eroups-the Iron and Steel Branch, the Copper Branch, s1s.-fe1 a final checking.

Thus, in effect, each program would originate with the group which is responsible for the end product, with the raw materials groups coming into the picture in an advisory and consultative capacity. Since all programs must of necessity be decreased or increased as armament pro.duction rises. each one will be framed so that it ca.n be modified upward or downward in case of need. When a program has been drawn up, it will be reviewed carefully in order to cut down the use of critical materials to the greatest possible extent through simplification of lines, substitution, and so on. The OPM Bureau of Industrial Conservation will work with and through the Industrial Branches to accomplish this.

When the program drawn up along these lines has been agreed upon by the Branches involved, it will be presented to the Executive Director of SPAB, in order that it may be properly synchronized with other programs.

It is then presented to SPAB.

After SPAB has passed on a program-either approving it, modifying it, or taking such other action as seems advisable-the program is referred to the OPM Priorities Division, which undertakes to make it effective, and where possible, to make sure that the needed quantities of goods will in fact be available, through the issuance of the required priorities ratings or through allocation of materials.

In order that current operations may dovetail properly into the whole broad project, OPM's administrative qrder devised a new routing system for the handling of PD-l preference rating applications, effective Dec. L

Defense Housing---Sacramanto Added to Defense Areas

Amendments to Critical List: Amendments to the Defense Housing Critical List and to Interpretation No. 1 of this list, just announced by the Priorities Division, and effective November 15, restore to good standing the use of oil burners in defense housing construction o.n the eastern seaboard.

Amended Priority Procedure: The Priorities Division has found it desirable further to encourage construction for rent, rather than for sale, and this has been done by assigning higher preference ratings than formerly to houses which will be rented by defense workers, since the Priorities Division feels that rental is better suited than purchase to their needs. This amendment became effective also November 15.

Defense Housing Areas: A revised list of Defense Housing Critical Areas, announced at the same time as the amendments. includes three additional areas. These are: Sacramento, Calif.; Marion-Carbondale (Crab Orchard Lake), Ill.; Bonham, Texas.

Making Motor Courts Pleasandy Remembered

With the greater use of automobiles each year, it is little wonder that the highways and byways of America are fast becoming dotted with attractive motor courts and motels for the convenience of the traveling public. These overnight accommodations, it is true, may be known by one of many names, such as motels, motor courts, auto courts, tourist courts, cabins, camps, cottages, inns, lodges, villiges and resorts. On the other hand, it is interesting to note what a high percentage of them have used Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine or Sugar Pine for one item or another in the structures. For instance, it may be clear or knotty pine paneling, siding, trim, windows, doors, shutters, screens, Venetian blinds, gable ends, built-in features or even pine furniture. These soft-textured Western Pines always create an informal, friendly atmosphere, which largely accounts for their popularity and wide acceptance in motor court construction and decoration. And their low upkeep cost is an important point that is often mentioned by court owners.

Typical examples of the more modern courts using Western Pines are illustrated in a new l?-page folder titled, "Making Motor Courts Pleasantly Remembered", just published by the Western Pine Association. This colorful little folder is a pictorial presentation of nearly fifty tourist accommodations which show exterior and interior applications of Western Pines. It should prove of special interest to motor court owners and operators as well as

More Homes Built This Year

Washington, Nov. 22.-The number of new homes started in the United States during the first 10 months of this year already substantially exceeds the total constructed under FHA inspection in all of 194O, Federal Housing Administrator Abner H. Ferguson announced today. Through Oct. 31 the FHA made first-compliance inspections on homes being financed with 186,031 mortgages, compared with 173,062 during the whole of 1940.

those contemplating new construction or remodeling. This folder. which is the same size as a railroad timetable, also is a handy reference book for the motor traveling public, since there is a partial list on Page 11 of motor court hosts from Coast to Coast who have built with Western Pines. This directory lists 118 courts, located in 28 states, including the District of Columbia. Persons desiring a copy can obtain one without charge by writing the Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland, Oregon. Simply ask for Folder No. 48.

Lumbermen to Plant New Tree for Each (s[--Establish Nursery to Furnish Stock

Washington, November lO,-Establishment of the CoOperative Forest Industry Nursery at Nisqually, Washington, has been announced by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association as a step by the Northwest forest industry to carry out its announced intention of planting a tree for every tree cut. Five million new young trees a year for replanting in commercial forests of Washington and Oregon will be the initial output of the nursery.

The nursery, on which preparation of the soil for seeding has already begun, is a forty-acre plot, located eight miles north of Olympia. Forest landowners in the Northwest have made an initial investment of close to $200,000 in the co-operative project. Planting stock, itself, accounts for $85,000 of this sum, and another $100,000 will be spent in setting the young trees out on the timber operators' lands.

Already contracts have been placed for 21,500,000 trees, which represents over 80 per cent of the total capacity of the nursery for the first five years. Those in charge expect the nursery production to be oversold, and more ground is available for its extension, or similar nurseries may be established on other sites in Washington and Oregon.

The first commitments by private forest owners to purchase young trees from the nursery are actuated by the lumber induStry's policy that "timber is a crop" and mean, substantially, that between planting and natural seeding from seed trees left in logging for that purpose, ten to 20 seedlings will take root for every tree cut in the Pacific Northwest.

The trees that will be produced by the nursery will mean $300,000 per year in future payrolls, according to Frank C. Reed of the Simpson Logging Company, Shelton, Washington, one of the underwriters of the project.

"The value of the industry nursery," says Mr. Reed, "may be roughly gauged on a basis of an average annual increment of 500 board feet per acre in the growth of a

timber crop from seedling to saw log size. At current rates, this footage represents $6 in forest wages.

"We have considerable areas of good, tree-growing land now idle. These areas are largely on sections which were swept by fires of early days while carrying virgin timber. Much of the burned timber was salvaged and nature has produced a new crop on the gieater part of the old burns. On the remaining acreage, tree planting is needed to hasten the production of a new crop."

"The new, co-operative nursery is a logical development in meeting a long-existing need," says Corydon Wagner, president of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. "Many companies have sought to restore growth to fire-denuded areas of their lands, but no planting stock has been available for private purchase. The whole project will be fortified by experience gained in the operation of smaller nurseries by several farsighted companies, which have tried out, over long periods, the growing of trees for planting.

"It is important to keep in mind that this project is a rounding-out of the conservation program of the forest industries in the Pacific Northwest that it is by no means a first requisite of reforestation on cutovers. Keeping fire out of growing trees remains our No. I task in reforesting lands that have yielded their harvest of old trees for the production of homes and of vital material for national defense."

Buildins Hits New High Volume

With October supplying a $7,826,871 volume of business, building authorized in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County this year has leaped far ahead of 19'10.

For the first 10 months, the building total runs $41,699,540 as compared to $32,178,930 for the corresponding period a year ago.

Fisk a Mason lnc. Exclusive Distributors lo. "Longlyle"

Hip and Ridge Units in Southern Calilornia

Retail lumber dealers in Southern California will be interested to know that Fisk & Mason Inc. of 855 El Centro Street, South Pasadena, California, r,vell known wholesale distributors of shingles and shakes, have been licensed by the V-Way Shingle Products Inc. of Los Angeles to distribute exclusively in Southern California all "Longlyfe" Hip and Ridge units manufactured here under U. S. patent number 2259962. This announcement was made by Hugh W. Mason, president of Fisk & Mason Inc., who further states that during the interim that the patent was pending quite a number of small manufacturers were making and distributing a product of similar nature with no particular discrimination betlveen wholesale, retail and consumer sales. This has had a tendency to create a somewhat chaotic condition in the distribution of "Longlyfe" Hip and Ridge units which will be rectified in the immediate future, and all of these manufacturers have now been notified that any and all infringements of the patent will be severely dealt with, says Mr. Mason.

In speaking of this product Mr. Mason continues, the "Longlyfe" Hip and Ridge unit is so beveled and clipped together with two clips of coppered wire that it comes assembled to fit any pitch roof up to lO/12 inches, the units are designed for application to Hips and Ridges and wiil eliminate the old ax method of hand trimming and fitting each shingle for the Hip and Ridge. The pack has now been standardized at forty units per bundle which will lay sixteen and two-thirds feet at 5 inches weather exposure or fifteen feet at 4l inches weather exposure. The saving in time, as well as material, effected by the use of these units make a substantial reduction in the cost of a roof and at the same time makes a more permanent and water-tight job.

Herbert L. Owen of Los Angeles, California, originally applied for this patent on February 3, 194A, and the value

of same, based on the saving of time and material, was immediately seen by Fisk & Mason Inc. and steps were taken at that time to handle this product in Southern California. One would have thought that the unit, being entirely new to the trade, would have been somewhat hard to merchandise at the start, however, the trade's re-action was immediate and the sale of the units has gone forward in leaps and bounds, not only in Southern California where it was started, but throughout the entire United States, states Mr. Mason. He firmly believes that the time is not fai off when practically every house which is roofed with red cedar shingles will also use the "Longlyfe" Hip and Ridge unit.

W. B. Hardy of Anaheim, California, has also been licensed by the V-Way Shingle Products Inc. to manufacture all "Longlyfe" Hip and Ridge units distributed in Southern California bv Fisk & Mason Inc.

Maximum Price Schedufe---Builders'Hardware

Manufacturers' and jobbers' prices of a wide variety of builders' hardware items are slabilized at the levels pre- vailing on October 2I in a maximum price schedule -announced November 14 by Leon Henderlon, administrator, Office of Price Administration.

Retailers have been exempted from the schedule in the belief that they also will apply the October 21 level to their price lists, Mr. Hendersbn said.

TITLE 3A-NATIONAL DEFENSE CHAPTER XIOFFICE OF PRICE ADMINISTRATION Part 1346 Building

Materials

Price Schedule No. ,t0-Builders' Hardware and Insect Screen Cloth

Builders'hardware, which includes ,ulh it"-, as knobs. handles, locks, hinges, and window bolts, and insect screen cloth are important elements in building construction, and as such have considerable significa.nce both in the defense program and in the civilian economy. Shortages of their basic raw materials, chiefly copper, and to a lesser extent such metals as zinc and tin, have produced inflationary pressure upon builders' hardware and screen cloth, most noticeably in the case of existing inventories. The issuance by the Office of Production Management of Conservation Order No. M-9-c on October 2I, as amended November 3, severely curtailing at once the use of copper in builders' hardware and screening (among other things), and pro- hibiting,its use therein altogether after January I, 1942, will tend to cause an accentuation of this pressure on inventories.

The- present schedule, instead of specifying the ceiling price for each item of builders'hardware and screen cloth-, fixes as maximum prices on a group of named items the highest prices prevailing during the thirty-day period ending October 21, 1941. This action is taken beciuse of the difficulty of classifying these products, and because of the danger of inflationary price action during the time that it would be required for the preparation of individual schedules covering each product.

Accordingly, under the authority vested in me under Executive Order No. 8734, it is hereby directed that:

1346.1(a) On and after November 19,194I, regardless of the terms of any contract or sale or purchase or other commitment, no person, except a retailer as defined in 51346.7 (b), shall sell, offer to sell, deliver, or transfer any of the builders' hardware or screen cloth products set forth in

{lnendix A. incorporated herein as 51346.9, at prices higher tnan tne maxtmum prrce.

(q) (l) The maximum price shall be the highest price received by the seller for the delivery during the period between September 22, 1941, and October 21, 1941, of builders' hardware or screen cloth products of approximately the sam-e g:ade, quality, and amount, to the sime purchajer.

(2) If no such delivery to the same purchase-r *as made, the maximum price-.shall be the highest price received by the seller for a delivery during such period of builderi, hardware or screen cloth products of lpproximately the same grade, quality, lnd amount, to a pur-haser recognized by the trade as entitled to similar treatment.

(q) If no delivery of products of approximately the same Bfa{-e,- quality, and amount was made, the maximum price shall be determined from the price of a related builiers' hardware or screen cloth product, delivered during such period. by making an appiopriate adjustment for -diff.relces in type of pro_duct, grade, quality, amount, and type of purchaser. A "related builders' hardware or screen cl,oth product" means one bearing a recognized or determinable price relationship to the product belng sold.

(a) In all other cases, the maximum price shall be the market price during such period for the same type of prod- uct, grade quality, amount, and type of purchaler.t

*Sections 1346.1 and 1346.9, inclusive, issued pursuant to the authority contained in Executive Orderj Nos. 8234. 8875-F.R. 1917.4483.

1346.2 Less than Maximum Prices. Lower prices than the maximum pric_es established by this Schedule may be char8ed, demanded, paid, or ofiered.*

1346.3 Evasion. The price lirrtitations set forth in this Schedule shall not be evaded whether by direct or indirect methods in connection with a purchaie, sale, delivery or transfer of builders' hardware oi screen cloth products, alone or-in conjunction with any other material, oi by way of prernium, commission, serviie, transportation, or"othe'r charge, or by a tying-agreement or othei trade understanding, by making discounts or other terms and conditions of sale more onerous to the purchaser than those available or in effect on October 21,1941, or by anv other means.*.

1346.4 Records and Reports. Ev6ry persott, other than a retailer, whose total sales of buildirst hardware and/or screen -cloth products_ du,rigg any calendar month beginning with November, 7941, shalf excied One Thousand bollari shall have available for inspection by the Office of price Administration for a period of not iess than one year a

complete and accurate record of every such sale of such products, including the date of sale, the name of the purchaser, the price, and the grade, quality, and amount sold.

Every such person shall also, within thirty days of the effective date of this Schedule, have available a record of his selling prices for such products during the period from September 22, 1941, to October 21, 194I.

Every person affected by this Schedule shall submit such reports to the Office of Price Administration as it may from time to time require.*

1346.5 Enforcernent. In the event of refusal or failure to abide by the price limitations, record requirements, or other provisions of this Schedule, or in the event of any evasion or attempt to evade the price limitations or other provisions of this Schedule, the Office of Price Administration will make every effort to assure (a) that the Congress and the public are fully informed thereof, (b) that the powers of Government, both state and federal, are fully exerted in order to protect the public interest and the interests of those persons who comply with the Schedule, (c) that full advantage will be taken of the cooperation of the various political subdivisions of state, county, and local governments by calling to the attention of the proper authorities, failures to comply with this Schedule which may be regarded as grounds for the revocation of licenses and permits; and (d) that the procurement services of the Government are requested to refrain from selling to or purchasing from those persons who fail to comply with this Schedule. Persons who have evidence of the receipt or demand of prices higher than the maximum prices, or of any evasion or effort to evade the provisions hereof, are urged to communicate with the Office of Price Administration.*

1346.6 Modification of the Schedule. Persons complaining of hardship or inequity in the operation of this Schedule may apply to the Office of Price Administration for approval of any modification thereof or exception therefrom; Provided, That no applications under this section will be considered unless filed by persons complying with this Schedule.*

1346.7 Definitions. When used in this Schedule. the term

(a) "person" means an individual, partnership, association, corporation, or other business entity.

(b) "retailer" means a person who maintains a store or similar establishment, where 75 per cent of the dollar volume of sales of all products during the six months preceding the effective date of this Schedule consisted of sales without discount (except cash discount) from the said person's regular retail price.

(c) "brailders' hardware products" means any products listed in Appendix A suitable for use in a building, whether they are actually so used or not. "Screen cloth" means insect screen cloth of the types listed in Appendix A.

(d) "delivery" means the physical transfer of builders'

hardware or screen cloth products to the purchaser, or to a carrier for carriage to the purchaser, pursuant to a sale.t

Small Homes Guide Now Available Curtis Announces Change in Silentite

The "Defense Housing Edition" of Small Homes Guide, (formerly known as "Small Homes Year Book"), published by the National Home Builders Bureau, Inc., of New York City, is now off the press, and according to W. "Waddy" Wood, president, this issue surpasses all its predecessors in its timely interest and practical usefulness for the entire home building industry and the hundreds of thousands of prospective home builders.

"Visits to scores of defense areas," says Mr. Wood, "convinced us of the immediate need for accurate, up-to-theminute. down-to-earth information on what can be done and what can't be done under present emergency rulings."

A full explanation of Priorities procedure is presented in simple, understandable form, together with a list of the critical materials affected by priorities and a complete copy of the official "Application for Preference Rating b! the Office of Production Management, Division of Priorities."

This 92-page book is profusely illustrated. In addition to the practical and usable defense housing information it carries, this edition of Small lIomes Guide follows proven editorial formula used in the last six editions and presents in logical order the six featured sections: Designs, Financing, Construction, Equipment, Furniture and Decoration, Gardening.

Distribution of Small Homes Guide will be handled, according to established practice, through newsstand sales and lumber and building supply dealers, banks and loan institutions who will use copies imprinted with their names and addresses as their own individual "house organs."

H. H. Hobart, vice president, Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, recently announced to the trade an important change in the Curtis Silentite "Insulated" Windcvw. The change, necessitated by the defense program, lvholly regards the rveatherstripping of the Silentite Window Unit.

Curtis is now usiqg a "rvood rveatherstrip. This was developed by Curtis engineers and is an exclusive Curtis product. Patents have been applied for.

In his letter to the trade, H. H. Hobart stated, in part:

"Some people will call it the new Silentite, because of the new weatherstrip. But, there is no change in the milling of the Silentite window. Every item-window or frame be used with the neu' u'eatherstrip. All other important features of Silentite, rvhich have appealed to the public for years, remain unchanged.

"Others may call it the improved Silentite. Laboratory tests show that the new weatherstripping is tighter in high winds than the old strip. Even high humidities do not affect its smooth operation, and it will not corrode. Accelerated tests equal to more than l0 years of normal use indicate its long life and durability. Installation is speeded up. A better balance results.

"It is easy to see why the unit may be called the improved Silentite. But, here at Curtis, we prefer to call it just Silentifs-a narns which stands for unquestioned excellence. And this means that Curtis stands squarely behind it, with the same guarantee that is one of Silentite's major sales advantages."

Curtis introduced their nationally-known Silentite PreFit Window Unit in 1932. This marked the first major improvement in double-hung rvindows in nearly 300 years and Silentite soon became known everywhere as a new and vastly improved window unit.

"The change in weatherstrip," Mr. Hobart stated, "has been enthusiastically received everywhere. Our men have changed hundreds of sample windows from the old to the new weatherstrip to demonstrate its merits. Dealers, architects, builders and the general public have voiced unani. mous favor."

At no stage of Redwood production do Hammond technicians take a chance with quality. Take air-drying for insrance.

It used to be that lumber was just "set out" to dry. But look at these piles. Each unit is stuck with an accuracy that prevens fail down. placed broaiside to prev-ailing winds for uniform'air pe^netration, with meisured alleys between for "bonus" ah circulation. Result: faster, evener seasoning, liigher auenge quality of the finished product Thus even the weather helps make Hammond quality better.
