The California Lumber Merchant - December 1924

To our old'friends and prospective new ones we take pleasure' at this time in extending the season's heartiest greetings. We sincerely hope and trust that 1925 will bring to you all health, wealth and happiness.

$Remember what atime you had getting used to thic wonderful southweEtern climate? WelI, lumber is affected in much the same way. This is especially true of stock kiln dried and worked in a Cool Damp Climate and then shipped to a Warm, Dry Climate.

{ Finish lumber that is shipped here green, scientifically dried in ,,..pto-tte-minute" kilns, seasoned in the atmosphere in which it is to be used, and sanded just before delivery, results in a clean, bright trim that will "Stay Put".

{T"y .Acclimqted Finish. It pays.

Paul Bunyan's Wood Pile

The year of Two Winters was long and cold. Long because it was Winter all Summer and then in the Fdl it turned cold. And, man, it was coldt The boiling cofiee pot would freeze to the red-hot gtove; the cook's breath froze in the dinner horn so t'hat no sound came out all Winter and when it thawed in the Spring it blew for a month, steady. With ten stovea in each bunk ehanty, each one of which rcguired four cords of kindling wood to start, it waa somc iob to get in the wood. When the bull-cookfell down on the job, Paul tackled it himself and with the aid of Babe, his big blue or. he anaked in enough dead-and-down logs one noon to keep the stoves red hot till the next Summer.

If Winter snows block the Red River camps and railways, this emergency tog pile keeps the mill going-71),ffi feet daily capacity, day and night operation, the year round.

To promote home building, the Lumber Association of San Francisco and its member retail lumber dealers, are distributing to all prospective builders in San Francisco an interesting and instructive article for the promotion of home building, designated "Build A Home." The article conveys to the reader the fact that there is more real value in a home than in the highly advertised luxuries ulnn which many are spending their money, and by owning their own home they become a real citizen in their community. It also deals with taxes and rents and the cost of building. In referring to the use of Lumber for building, it states, "A wooden house suits California Climatic Conditions and the silent testimony of the vast majority of homes built of 'ivood in California compels consideration."

The San Francisco retail lumber dealers who are distributing this information to the prospective building public are: Acme Lumber Co., Beronio Lumber Co., Christenson Lumber Co., Greater City Lumber Co., Hart-Wood Lumber Co., Howes Lumber Co., J. H. Kruse, Leonard Lumber. Co.; Loop Lumber Co., J. H. McCallum, Pope & Talbot; Reinhart Lumber & Mill Co., William Smith Company. Spring Valley Lumber Co.; Sudden & Heitman Lumber Co., H. S. Thomson, Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co., and Lumber Association of San Francisco.

Christmas

Bg Jacft Dionne

The Christmas season is almost upon us. You can feel it in the air. It is dl about us. As some wise man said: "It is the time for giving and for getting-forgiving and forgetting."

Andy Gump says he thinks Thanksgiving is the only worthwhile holiday: at Christmas you have to give everything you have away, at New Yeat's you have to make resolutions, on the Fourth of July you have to dodge fireworks, and at Thanksgiving you just have to eat and be thankful.

But Andy was only joking. New Year is physical stock-taking time. But Christmas is MENTAL and SPIRITUAL stock-taking season.

Because it commemorates the birthday of Him who, better than any other who ever trod the earth, preacihed, and taught, and exemplified the Golden Rule, the Gospel of Service, the Holiness of Work, the Godliness of Giving, the Triumph of Tolerance.

Others, both God-believing men and Pagans, had taught these sarne things before Him, but none of them left their imprint on the world's soul like His teachings.

Six hundred years before Jesus Christ was born the Chinese teacher, Confucius, taught his people: "To fight decides who is the stronger, but does not decide who is right. That is to be decided by the Heaven in your own heart." Both these thoughts Jesus taught six hundred years later when he said: "The Kingdom of Heaven is within Jrou;" and told us when smitten on one cheek, to turn the other.

Speaking of the Golden Rule; Confucius said: "You should not do to others what you would not have others do to you;" Socrates said: "Act toward others as you would have others act to\ tard you;" Aristotle said: "We should conduct ourselves toward ottrers as we would have them conduct themselves towards us;" Seneca said: "Do not to your neighbor what you would not have your neighbor do to you-" Pericles, who worked hundreds of thousands of men for many years building the glory of Athens, and with full power of life and death, said at the close of his life: "f have never willingly caused any human to wear crepe."

Wonderful thoughts from so-called "Pagans."

And then came the Man of Galilee and preached his philosophy of kindliness, meekness, love, charity, honesty, work, service, all which we have combined under the term "Christliness-"

And while He gave us a wealth of examples and demonstrations, only once did He use the $7q3ds-"1 shall give you an exampl€"-and that was when I{e was performing the work of a servant.

The true spirit of Christmas is the spirit of loving kindliness for all men and for all things; the exemplification of the feeling that it is "More blessed to give than to receive." Doing something for the other fellow is a fine way to put that spirit to work.

"Ffeaven helps those who help themselves," says the old saw.

"Heaven helps those who help each other," is the spirit of Christrrras. The fellow who helps only himself belongs more properly to the swine than the human family. Christmas means nothing to him.

F. A. HUTTON HAS FAMILY REUNION

F. A. Hutton, manag'er of the Dixon Lumber Co., Dixon, had a family reunion at his home over the Thanksgiving holidays. Among those present. was W. E. Spangler, manager of the Spangler & Sons Mill. near Sterling City. Mrs. F. A. Hutton is a daughter of I\[r. Spangler.

Great Manufacturing Plant at Los Angeles

After a "ltersonally-conducted" trip through the great plant of the Pacific Door and Sash Company, at Los Angeles, one rvould probably say that the most outstanding feature about this enormous institution is the impression gathered all through the nine acres of factory, first of the immensity of the operation and then of the rvonderful care of detail that is apparently given all manufactured goods going through.

This plant has been in operation onlv since l\{arch, of this year. The factory is the child of the minds of the active heads of this company, E. A. Nicholson, who is secretary and general manager, his brother, G. H. Nicholson, who acts as sales manager, and the. president of the company, Charles L. Miller.

The Pacific Door and Sash Company has been in operation in Southern California for 25 years. It rvas started in a small rvay by the Nicholsons, and for a good manl' years has been located in a large factory plant at Jefferson and Main Streets, Los Angeles, rvhere they still maintain their general ofrfices.

The nerv factory, as stated above, covers nine acres under roof, and they have an additional l5 acres used for storage, trackage, etc. It is located on San Fernando Road, just on the edge of Los Angeles, adjoining Burbank. Construction rvas started in the spring of 1923.

It has been said that this plant is surely one of the finest and most efficiently operated rvood-u'orking establishments in the United States. Surely it has no superior anywhere in the southern part of this state.

A much better iclea of the details of their operations can be gained by a picture story rather than by an attempt to desiribe the various departments, hence the accompanying pictures, all taken by "The California Ltlmber \Ierchant," about two weeks ago.

Mr. J. W. Nicholson, brother of Ed. and George, and in charge of the lumber department of the business, rvent through the plant rvith a representative of this journal.

One of the unique features that is not pictured, is their tremendous blower and boiler system, part of rvhich u'as

specially designed bv engineers of the Pacific Door and Sash Companv. They operate a specially constructed conveyor system. carrying the sarvdust to their one thousand horse porver boilers, the conveyors rvorking on the screw type, and being absolutely automatic in operation. The feed is regulated by a recently patented governor system, rvhich lessens considerably the amount of labor that has been necessarl' heretofore in this part of a mill. They of course use a great amount of the developed steam in their kilns.

The kiln battery comprises eight compartments, rvith a capacitJ'of 35,000 feet. They are of the natural draft type, and according to "J. \M." are the most efficient type of kiln in operation.

The lumber (practically all of which is shipperl in green), is unloaded from the cars direct to kiln cars, ready to be

dried. Note the precision of piling on the kiln cars and the neatness of the stock at this point, in the photograph.

From the kiln the stock is taken to the sorting rooms, rvhere it is first put through the matcher or planer, no stock being graded before it is surfaced. This is a departure from the usual custom, in large plants. From this room the stock is then sent to the cut-off and rip sarvs to be cut to the proper length and rvidth and is then assigned a place in the factory, to be used in doors, screens, rvindows or rvhatever is its best use.

Contrary to the easily-gained idea, this company does not stock -a large amount of stock finish. They have bins that look to bC large, and containing a stock of surfaced and moulded stock that rvould last the entire city for weeks. But, from the statement by l\fr. Nicholson, the stock on hand is never but a ferv days' supply, and it is the policy of the company to 6ll orders of stock finish only from stock that is fresh run.

The amount of waste lumber around the entire mill is negligble. They have developed a market for all of their shori ends, rippings, etc., and it is a very, r'ery small

Christmas In California

Adeline M. Conner

In winter lands the snow lies deep

Beneath the stars of night, And like tall ghosts the pine trees stand

Arrayed in robes of white.

But in our valleys of delight

Spring weaves her magic spell, The fields are green, and fowers bloom In every fairy dell.

But in our valleys of delight

The happy wild birds sing, And every vagrant wind that blows Is whispering of spring.

In winter lands the home lights shine

Thru frosted window panes, And chiming bells ring merrily

O'er snow-hushed fields and lanee.

In winter lands the snow lies deep, The stars gleam cold and white, But here the incense of the flowers Perfumes the Holy Night.

And as we raise our eyes to catch The light of one fair star, We seem to hear a wondrous song Ring out from realms afar.

"Peace, Peace on Earth, Good Will to l!tgn-" Ah, tender words and mild, Our questioning souls are led once more To seek the new-born child.

McNevin of the Pacific Lumber Co. was Chairman of the Day and the meeting was a regular Redwood affair. An interesting and instructive moving picture of Redwood logging, lumbering, and reforestation work in the Redwood operations of Humboldt and Mendocino Counties was very much enjoyed. Chas. F. Flinn, General Manager of the Albion Lumber Co., then spoke on Reforestation work in the Redwood region. Mr. Flinn stated that 65 per cent of the Redwood operators had adopted the forest management plan with the idea to perpetuate the redwood yield, and that today two trees were planted for every tree cut down. He then gave an interesting account of the Nursery operations at the Union I-umber Co. at Fort Bragg and the Pacific Lumber Co. at Scotia and the planting of the Redwood cut-over lands. He said that the Redwood operators nolv need encouragement in regard to forest taxation and more adequate laws for forest protection, also that the expense of reforestation was not heavy, being less than $20.00 per acre, and the big thing to be accomplished rvas to keep fires out of the timber.

The attendance prize, a five-pound box of candy in a beautiful redwood box, was won by Charlie Ward of the Redwood Manufacturers Co. Attractive menu cards printed on small Redwood boards were donated by the California Redwood Box Co. of Oakland. The cigars were donated by the Albion Lumber Co. Henry Isherwood rendered several songs during the luncheon and moving picture entertainment.

President Rod Hendrickson presided over a short busi-

ness session. J. Walter Kelly, the new Vicegerent Snark for the Bay District, announced the Niqe for the ensuing year. Harry Whi1e, of White Broth'ers, will be the Chairman of the Day on December 12, and J. E Martin, of the "California Lumber Merchant," will act as Chairman of the Day at the December 24 meeting.

LEO GERMAIN PRESIDES AT LOS ANGELES HOO HOO LUNCH

- L"o Germain. President of the Germain Lumber Company, Los Angeles, was chairman at the December 4th meeting of the Los Angeles Ho Hoo Club.

There was a good crorvd on hand to hear Mr. Eugene Berger, Tax Expert, talk on the Income Tax. It was a splendid address, and revealed a number of very important matters.

Mr. George Cornwall and Major Mason were guests at the meeting and they both spoke for a few minutes on lumber conditions.

Frank Connelly, chairman of the Golf Committee, announced that another good Golf Tournament would be held by the Club, on December 19th.

TEMPLE LUMBER CO. HOST TO HOUSTON HOO-HOO CLUB

The Temple Lumber Company entertained the Houston, Tex., Hoo-Hoo Club and lumbermen with a wonderful "houselarming" of their retail merchandising plant, Nov. 26. I. B. McFarland, president of the Hoirston Hoo-Hoo Club, is general manager of the Temple Companv.

The affair was substituted for the regular Hoo-Hoo Club luncheon. President McFarland, assisted by Billie Black, local manager for the company; Myrl Barr, assistant manager, and Mrs. McFarland and Mrs. Black provided food and entertainment, which surpassed anything the club has enjoyed since its formation.

We are prepared to furnish you any speci$ of Hardwood Lumber, kiln-dried to any. degree of moisture content, in any quantity you may wish.

Paint is Undersotd Commodity

At a recent national convention of paint manufacturers, facts and figures were offered to show how tremendously far from the point of saturation is the paint market. As a matter of fact the figures would indicate that the paint industry and this so-called "saturation" rvill probably never be even nearly related.

It was estimated that it requires a coat of paint every four years to keep.the average building in good shape, and that only one building out of every four in the whole country gets this necessary coat that often.

This lack of paint for protection brings about deterioration that amounts to a sum estimated at $1,800,000,000 a year, or an amount four times as great as our annual fire losses,

There are some facts worth ruminating.

And they are particularly interesting to the retail lumberman, because the retailer of lumber is a natural medium and point of contact between building owners and paint producers.

This journal has from its inception urged the lumber dealers to be paint dealers, and what is more-paint salesmen. We have yet to meet a lumber dealer who handled paint that was hot an enthusiastic booster for this particular department of his business.

We know a lumberman who in the last couple of years has been acquiring a line of retail yards, getting them

singly here and there either by purchase or installation, and he made it his business to select towns where the lumber dealers already there did NOT handle paint. He DID. And he reports with much pleasure that his paint departmeht in every one of his yards is a decidedly paying investment, and lends an interesting side to his business.

If puns were not forbidden weapons it might be declared that a paint department adds color to a retail lumber business.

The material man is just naturally the right man to handle the paint, and sell it with the material to be painted.

There is one definite thing that the lumber dealer should make certain of in handling paint, however, and that is that at any cost he should refuse to gamble with the question of quality. and should install a paint line absolutely and utterly above question. There are plenty that are NOT, and a ferv bad paint jobs would do a dealer a lot of harm. There is plenty of good paint to be had, however, and there is no scientific schooling needed to make the intelligent lumber dealer a paint merchant.

Let us hope that 1925 n'ill see a large increase in the number of lumber dealer paint merchants. It would help the building business, and it would help the retiil lumber business, and at the same time would give the public an added service.

And the public is learning more and more every day to respect, appreciate, and DEMAND service.

A roof of rare new color -opal beautifies this Cincinnati home

To Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Bahlman. 3429 Herschel Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio, belongs thedistinctionof beins the first to have on their home the'new Richardson opal rcr:lf

This roof is built from the new Rich, ardson opal shingles, no two of which are alike. On each are blended the two most beautiful Richardson colors in slate -weathered brown and jade green.

When these shingles are appli?d to the roof just as thdy come ?rom the bundle, the result is a delicately mottled coloring like the. play of light on a rrppleo mountatn lake.

The Richard,son Multicrorne Roof

This, however, is but one example of the beauty secured in the Richaidson Multicrome Roof. Many color effects are possible-one to please every taste. The rare weathered brown, for in, stance, is attractive when applied with other Richardson Shingles ofjade green, tile red or black pearl.-

The Multicrome Roof is built of Richardson Super,Giant Shingles, extra large, extra heavy-to give greater beauty, longer. endurance.. .The high quaxty ot lts lnner materEls, too, as,

sures lasting beauty for this roof. Its base is sturdy Richardson felt. The waterproofing is Viskalt-unusually durabie,becairse gg.8% pure bitumen, especnlly vacuum,processed.

Paying for an Encore

We have told the story of the dourist who was arrested for speeding in going through the hick town, and who was all mad because of same, and because of the fact that he had just barely been passing the legal limit, and realized that he was just being shaken down for a contribution to the upkeep of the town. So when the judge fined him ten dollars, he handed the judge a twenty dollar bill, and started out "Here," said the judge, "the fine is just ten dollars." "Keep it," said the sour tourist, "I'm going out of this blankety blank town a d-n sight faster than I came in."

What Lumber Dealers in the SmallerTowns HaveDone withBAISAM-VOoL

Y far the most startling facts that have come to light ) in connection with the sale of building insulation by lumber dealers are revealed in reports received re' centlyfrom dealers in small towns.

Almost any lumber dealer will admit that insulation will sell in thebig cities. That's been proved very coo' clusively with the striking sales record that BALSAM' wOoL has made in the past two years in such places as Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Madison, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth.

But just glance over the sales records recently fur' nished by a number of small town dealers:

A Minnesota dealerinatownof 950population turned over his stock of BALSAM -wool 13 times in 14 months. His over' age investmentwas $50.32 and his gross profit for tt_ris period was $195.36, making a gross profit percentage o1388%.

Another dealer in a townof 1,150 population with an av€r' age investment in BALSAM-WOOL of only $26.64 made a gross piofit of $112.36 in 14 months. The percentage here is42l%.

Still another dealer with an average stock oI 1,780 feet made a gross profit of $255.42 in 14 months by turning his BALSAM-WOOL stock 13 times.

A Wisconsin dealer in a town of 40,000 population made a gross profit ot$327.25 in one year on an average investment in na.LsaM-wool of $101.25. This dealer made 11 stock turns on BALSAM-WOOL in 12 months.

$433.12 is the amount of gross profit made on BALSAM'WOOL in 16 months by another small'town dealer. The average in' vestment in this case was $97.L2. The stock turned 15 times 16 months. The percentage of gross profit was 445%.

These cases were picked at random from a lon$ list. They demonsttate one fact very clearly. BALSAMwool- can be made a live-wire proposition and con' sistent profit maker in the small towns even though it has been on the market but a few years.

Actual Sales Records Prove

Rernarkable Turnover Possibilities of BALSAM -WOOL fnsulation

ERHAPS you have been holding back for fearthat BALSAM-WOOL wouldn't sell in your town.Our ex- perience has been that almost any lumber dealer with a little honest effort can make these additional nals,{u- wool. prolts. The sooner the start just that much sooner dothe profits begin to mount.

Thewood conversion com-pany has made itvery easy for you-to-make the tryorlt. lheydon't urge you to b;i a car-in fact, would prefer that you didnt ai the stari.

. Along with Vgirr order for BALSAM-WOOL, sales helps and advertising matter will be furnished ;o h;i; you put over BALSAM-WOOI, in your locality. Remember that BALSAM-WOOL isgood for remodeling iobq' roof insulation in old housesl for barns and po"rl try houses as well as innew buildings.

"Does your wife ever grieve because she threw over a wealthy man in order to marry You?"

"Well, she started to once," was the reply, "but I cured her of that mighty quick." ttHow?"

"f started right in grieving with her," he said, "and I grieved harder than she did."

MODESTY

When every pool in Eden was a mirror, That unto Eve her dainty charms proclaimed, Shc went undraped without a single fear or Thought that she had need to be ashamed.

T'was only when she'd iaten of the apple, That she became inclined to be a prude, And found that evermore she'd have to grapple, With the much-debated problem of th.e nude'.

Thereafter she devoted her attention, Her time and all her money to her clothes, And that was the beginning of convention, And modesty as well, so I suPPose.

' Reaction's come about in fashions recent, Now the girls conceal so little from the men, It would seem that in the name of all that's decent, Someone ought to pass the apples round again.

Distribution

California Sugar Pine is available throughout the United States in the forms of yard lumber, special stock for patterns, etc., and as doors, sash ready-cut frames, trim, and millwork, an.l can be procured from retail lumbermen' iobbers, planing mills, and sash and door manufacturers' This Assbciatidn will glaCly furnish the names of dealers and manufacturers in your district who will fill your specifications for these woods.

Characteristics of Growth

Sugar Pine grows chiefly in the Sierra Nevadas of Californii, at elevitions of from 3,000 to 9,000 feet, depending on the latitude. Occasional small stands are also found in southern Oregon. The largest trees and heaviest stands are found in Cafifornia on the western slope of the Sierras.

Sugar Pinc is a monarch emong.trccL_t-EJIFj:!,-"1_.t,1: numc-rous oine famity. It has itall, straight frunk with c rich nuiola-brown or cinnamon-rcd bark. It grows, a rich purple-brown or cinnamon'red ordinarilv. from 150 to 175 feet hish an ordinarily,

'own cinnamon-rcd bark. lt grows' 175 fect high and from four !o lve feet in iiameter, though occasioisl specimens 230 fcet high and 12 fcet in diimctcr arc !ccn. The tree is exccptionally free from disease and this, as well as its large size, makes possible the production of large quantities of thick, wide lumber of high quality. The lumber produced

from Sugar Pine trees can be seasoneil without checking or warping, which gives evidence of the excellent characteristics of the wood.

California Sugar Pine a True White Pine

Sugar Pine is, botanically and physically, a true white pine. In fact, it is one of the most -typical representaiives of the white pine group. It has five slender needles in each cluster, and the clusters occur in feathery tufts at the'ends of graceful branches, as do those of its eastern relative, the -White Pine of New England and the Lake States.

In cell structure Sugar Pine is also a white pine. The longitudinal cells are uniform in size and regularly spaced. The radial cells have smooth walls. There are no alternately hard and soft rings in the wood.

Tests on Sugar Pine made at the Forest Products Laboratory, operaied by the U. S. Government at Madison, Wisconsin, speak volubly of its excellence, and show it to be almost idintical in many of its most important qualities rvith the white pine of the east. In specific gravity it comes within 3-1000; in volumetric shrinkage from green to oven-dry, within % ol | /o ; in softness, as determined by compounding properties, it is within 7 74o; and in strength (as a beam or post) within 2/o. Such variations are less

Vtfhat Forest Products Laboratory Tests proved About

From statistic, comp;letgit, ?i1" ".r.st products Laboratory of the United States Governmeht, at Madison, Wisconsin, cove^rin-g certain tests on qualities of woods, interesting p_roof of the relative high values of Sugar Fine is gathered.

Compared with a number of other woods. commerciallv used^ in quantities for the same purposes as Sugar pine, u'e hnd that these other woods run from I/o to S3/o heavier; that all but_one have much greater'shrinkage, ru.nning flrom 79/o to 5l/o more than Sular pine; and tfai rvhile several have about the same dJgree of softness, others are from 4O/o to nearly lW/o h*der, though stili being classed as softwoods.

From Bulle tin 426,a9:H3-il;rH".nt of Agriculture, we quote the following. as to the appearance of -Sugar pine: . "In exte-rnal appearance the wood of Sugar pine is strik_ ingly similar to that of eastern white pinJ(pinus strobus)

and rvestern white pine (Pinus montilola).' The ""p*ood and heartwood are fairlv well defined : fhe former is rvhire lairly'well defined; the former is'white or yellowis! w-hite, the latter a very light brown, sometimes tinged with red......."

Other typical characteristics of Sugar pine are: 'fexture: Soft and workable.

Grain: Close, even and uniform.

Weight: Light.

Surface: Smooth, satiny.

Structure: Minute cells, regularly formed, evenly spaced.

.In.service, Sugar Pine has the following characteristics, rvhich makes it unusually valuable for Exterior and in_ terior finish, and for sash-doors and frames as well as for specialty purposes:

Non-rvarping, non-sw€lling, non-shrinking.

Use for Doort, Sash and Interior Woodwork

California Sugar Pine is especially valuable for enameled or. painted dg.orr, sash and interior- trim and finish, it per- mitsthe delicately-molded contours and sharp prodles, .r.high gir.e.permalenje to the purity of line attd oinam.rrf' of the architect's design.

This _fine, soft wood cuts readily either with or across the grain. It takes and holds paint and enamel perfectly,

(Continued from Page 37)

having a close evenly spaced, delicately marked grain, which- offers a srnooth sitiny surface to the decorator's brush. Being light in color, it requires less enamel or paint to obtai:n thi finest lustrous finish-an economy both of materials and labor.

To enamel u'ell a wood must take and retain a smooth 6nish. The enamel cannot remain flat unless the grain of the wood remains flat. If the grain "raises" (shows a corrugated, or wavy surface) the enamel cov-ering.mu.s! fglloi the pressure-of the wood beneath, and "raise" with the wood. Obviously, the beauty of the enamel finish will be marred.

Any wood can be planed, sandpapered and rubbed-until it prisents a smooth surface for enameling.When fir.st enameled it looks perfect. But there are inherent'qualities in all woods t6at cause them to respond to time and atmospheric changes. When wood grain raises, the enamel finish becomes "wavy" and eventually cracks. When wood swells too much. enimel cracks. Enamel is brittle; it does not bend.

From the U. S. Department of Agriculture Bulletin 426, we quote the following. as to the superior merits of Strgar Pine in construction and allied uses:

"Because of its straightness, softness, freedom from rvafping and shrinkage, splendid service w-hen exposed to the weither, and finJ nniltring qualities, Sugar Pine is- a very important wood in the manufacture o{ special-order ."ril, doo.t, and blinds, decks of boats and general millrvork. These same qualities make it valuable for frames and stairwork. Freedom from taste and odor make it especially valuable for drawers, for compartments for spic.es, cofiee, rice, sugar and other provisions; for shelving,-builtin dressers. sideboards. carved rvork, table frames and tops. Its straight grain and permanence give it a,place in the manufaciure 6f piano and pipe organ keys and actions, and player pianos, and the same qualities, together with lighttr..i, pir." it among the besi woods for drawing boards,

etc. Large quantities are used by-planing mills in the manufacture -ot cut siding, interior finish and mouldings. It takes readily the fineit enamel finish. In addition to the above, Sugar Pine is used for drain-boards, shade and map rollers, small turnings and fencing."

Builders approve -ihe choice of Califorqla Sugar Pine, for they know its valuable advantages. They- save time and labor in handling and installing doors, sash and trim, because this wood isllgtrt of weight and readily takes nails and scrervs. Installat-ions of California Sugar Pine are more quickly completed-and installation costs are therefore proportionately lower.

The pioneers of '49 fouird fallen Sugar Pine trees which saue elidence of having been on the ground for many !.atr. It was this mutE testimony of -its durability-that prompted them to seek these trees with which to build ih.i. .abittr. They were especially eager to obtain Sugar Pine for the roofs, knowing that this portion of their new homes would be subjected to the greatest exposure. -For this reason, Sugar Pine shakes beiame as typically Californiah as the Golden Gate.

A shake-maker of Raymond, California, recently led a party to a Sugar Pine tree which he had felled forty y.ears ago.' The hea-rtwood of the tree was still sound and bright' "Sugar Pine is new in use' compared with eastern white pine,-but there are many buildings still standing that attest its durability.

Sizes and Grades of California Sugar Pine

Sizes-Sugar Pine lumber is manufactured in sizes that conform wiih American Lumber Standards. Thicker and wider sizes can be obtained in Sugar Pine than in any other wood of this region, due to thJ unusually large sizes of the trees.

Finishing lumber is available in 1", Itl'!:-?.'t 3",.1\9 4" thickneEses, and in widths from 3" up. Widths o! ?0-" and more can be had if desired. Bevel siding is available in widths of. ('. 5" and 6" and wider. Common boards

"A Glimpse of the Sugar Pine Forest"

are usually 1" thick and from 4" to L2" wide, but may be had in any thickness or width. Factory lumber is also available in thicknesses of f.rom 4/4 to L6/4, and in widths from 5'" up. The average width of stock from mills in this Association is customarily very wide.

Grades-California Sugar Pine lumber is graded at Association mills under the standard rules of the California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturers' Association, which are in close conformity to American Lumber standards. Sugar Pine is graded under two classifications, according to the use to be made of the lumber.

No.3 Common:

A high grade sheathing lumber, also used for concrete foim material.

No. 4 and 5 Comrnon:

The Factory Grades:

Factory grades are determined by the percentage of

A nearly perfect grade of lumber, suitable as a whole for trim, casing, base and finishing.

C Select:

A grade of lumber only slightly less perfect than B Select and Better, suitable for the fineit.painted trim or for natural finishes.

D Select:

A grade of finishing lumber well suited for any kind of work that is to be painted.

No. I Common:

A high quality common grade, containing small, sound, tight knots, often described as "water-tight," and used in many cases for interior trim.

No.2 Common:

A grade containing larger knots tha'n No. 1 Common, but still suitable for many high class uses, such as shelving and barn boards.

The rapid grorvth of thc lumber industry of California has madc grciter demands upon the Divisibn of Forestry . of the University of California than its present equipment can take care of. An enlarged lumbering and wood technotogy laboratory is theref&e needed anld tentative- plans havJ-been prepired to submit to the next Le-gislature. Professor Einaiuel Fritz who will have charge of the new laboratory has this to say concerning it: "The additional laboratory facilities are needed to cariy on such studies as methods -of sawing, design of saw teeth, the kiln drying- of lumber, and determination of properties of woods native to California. The new equipme'nt will include a small sawmill to handle logs up -to three and four feet in diameter, a resaw, a plaier, ind other related machinery and

It is orooosed to install this equipment in a builiiing of factory type, which the Legistitrirc will bc askcd to build on the newly acquired Schmidt tract adjoining the Senta Fc tracks in Wesl Bcrkclcy. Thc invcstigative work to be conducted will have as its principel objcctive the better utilization and hendling of forest productt. In this connection Professor Fritz says: "All our investigations have as one principal aim the more cconomical manufacture, seasoning, and use of forest producta. While such use tends to cut down waste it is recognized that no forest and sawmill product can be produced without certain unavoidable wastes. These are of great volume and it is often asked to what good use they can be put.

We hope therefore to have another laboratory adjoin the lumbering laboratory, in which is to be carried on a serie\' of studies to determine the possibility of utilizing the wastes through chemical means either for paper pulp or products derived by distillation." In this laboratory it is

More than five million doors are annually made from California White Pine and California SugarPine. Many of the largest.manuhcturers-of exterior, Frlnch and panel doors make them wholly of these fine, soft pines.

California Pines possess t€n ndt, ural points ofexcellence that makc them favored woods for doors.

1. They are soft,textured and rtraight,greined-work easily and can be cut with or across the qrain without splitting.

2. These woods are air eeasoned in a climate ideal for that purpose, or are easily kiln dried to any manufacturing requirement.

When You RLrn Short of Stock

Determining Costs

A. W. Bcrnhrucr Bcforc thc llilhork Inrdtutc of Crlifornle

In order to operatc any planing mill, whether large or small, it is abeolutely necessary to have some mcthod of determining costs, or to rely upon the knowledge of some other opcrator. I am thoroughly eold on the idea of maintaining a cost dcpartment in plantr where the volume justifies thc expense, but am alro firmly convinccd that a great many smeller opcrator! are not kccping 'costs today, as they arc laboring undcr the dclueion that it is too 'complicated a matter for them to handte.

' The purpose of my remarks will be to show the small operator :that it is just as essential for him to know his cost as it is the large ;nill owner, Guessing at costs is ruinous to every one, and the small loperator sets the price for the large operator. Therefore, we shourrr iall be mutually interested in this problem. If you have to take a lob below cost you should know it and be sur€ you have a very good feason for accepting business of this character, If you gueas too high you cheat yourself out of desirable business.

' This fact is demonstrated every day as one mill that has a cost ibystem submits a bid on the job and is considerabty below his competitor who has no cost system. The competitor immediatel 'eays that the job was taken at a loss, when he really has no grounds 'for making such a statement, and after the job is finished the operaltor with the cost system finds that the sanre was cntirely satislfactory. Unless you absolutely know your cost you arc nevqr ljusti6ed in criticising the other fellow's price.

Your estimate on a job should represent thc entirc cost plus a definite, pre-deternrined profit arrd at the completion of the job you should be able to determine whether or not you have ma<le the profit that you figured on. The five itenrs that nrake up total costs

Raw Material

Direct Labor

Factory Burden

General Overhead , Drayage.

All of these factors may be deternrined by a sirnple cost systenl ithat does not require any additional office help to operate but ma)' ibe handled by the usual office forqe during their spare time. : Atl of the information necessary to compute costs can be obtained .from your Iedger accounts and all you need is a simple system to Idetermine the amourrt of direct labor put in on the various jobs, which will enable you to definitely establish the cost on any given iarticle quickly and accurately.

I In order that we may have the various items tl-rat make up costs 'clearly before us, I am submitting the.following schedule:-

(l)-Raw Material:

(a) Original cost of material.

(b) Freight.

(c) Hauling.

(e) Storing. I

(f) Bringing into Plant;

(2)-Direct Lhbor:

(a) Wages. :

.

(b) Loss of time.

(c) Wages of forenran (See overhead).

(3)-Factory Burdcn:

(a) Salary of millwright and repair of machinery.

(b) Light and Power.

(c) Belting, oil, etc.

(d) Miscellaneous manufacturing supplies.

(e) Depreciation of machinery.

(4)-General Overhead:

(a) Salaries: Executives and office employees. Night Watchman. i Pro-rata share of Foreman's time.

(b) Office expense:Printing. Stationery.

'

Up-keep of autos for office use.

(c) Selling Expense: Salesmen. etc.

(d) Shipping Expense: Shipping Clerk's salary. Supplies for Shipping Room.

(Notc)-Truck drivers, trucks, etc., tsken care of under heading of "Drayage."

(c) Building Depreciation.

(f) Reservc for bad debts.

(5)-Drayegc:

(a) Wages of Truck l)rivers. Gas, oil, repairs of trucks.

l)epreciation on trucks.

In order to simplify the work of computing costs in our plant, we have reduced the Factory Burden to the cost per H.P. per hour allowing for the time that the machines are not in use, as determined by our experience records, which will average about 50 per cent of thc time.

In othcr worcls-if it rcquircs a 30 H.P. motor to operate a certain machine, wc take the unit cost pcr H.P, per lrour x 3G.-which will give \rs the cost of operating this nrachine without the operator or general overhcad expensc. The gerreral ovcrlread cxpense is reduced in a like manner to the cost per man hour.

Our records show the total average amount of overhead expense as covered by the above schedule for orre ycar, also the total number of man hours per year, an<l by dividiug thc total ovcrhead expense by the number .of marr hours, the cost per man hour is obtained.

This systcrrr varics from other cost systems in onc particular only -nanrely-that thc commercial burderr is applied on rnan hours and not on a pcrccntage basis of the sales, as is usually the case. I believe that this is a distinct advautage, as irr applying overheads on a percenta!{e basis a job nrade of expensive wood, but requiring not much morc lallor, would carry a very heavy overhead, while if the same work was conrputed on a per hour basis, the job would carry its just share of overhead, as showrr by the time sheets.

Again the mctho<l of computing costs is much simplified, as all you have to do is determine the cost of the raw material, plus your direct labor, plus your Factory Burden at the cost per H.P. per

Why Sell Redwood?

al NE of our good de4ler friends in a recent letter jokingly v remarked that from his standpoint one of Redwood,s big disadvantages is its permanence-its great durability makes replacements unnecessary. Nothing short of a cyclone will destroy Redwood. Fungus does not rot it and worms and insects leave it alone. It is a slow burner. Thoroughly painted, it looks well a long time. Even unpainted, it still resists decay. A Redwood house needs little repairing. But this dealer keeps.right on ordering Redwood. He finds that telling these sad facts about Redwood to his customers does not drive them away.

Sometimes he even ventures to remark that according to the U. S. Government Report entitled "Physical, Mechanical and Chemical Properties of Redzaood" there isn't any other wood, either soft or hard, that averages as high on durbaility, lach of shrinkage, strength as a beam or post, ease of glueing, u,orhability and ability to "stay put."

North Coast Weekly Letter

Question: "salesman wired us en order for a transit car he'had sold to a customer. We wired him 'entering order.' As this particular, cer was sold previously, howev€r' we made a mill shipment of this order, papers on which were returned by customer with statement they could not use mill shipment and had secured rush requirements, so we diverted this car elsewhere. Salesmen contends he is entitled to his commission, with which we cannot agree. Are we not correct in our stand ?" \

Answer: In a similar case recently arbitrated (Decision 103, Docket ,lO5), the committee decided: "A contract did exist between the various parties for a transit car. Shipper should have advised the parties that he had no transii car to supply, instead of wiring 'entering.order.' Therefore, salesman is entitled to his commissioh."

Ouestion: "What is the custom in making final settle-iitr with mills when whotesaler has purchased 'less 5/o commission, underweights to mill to final destination?' Is the wholesaler entitlea to 5% commission on the underweights ?"

A-nswer: While there are some excePtions to the rule, it is the general custom for wholesalers, in such cases, -to deduct tie |Vo commission on the net amount of the invoice after deducting actual freight. Wholesalers who make a general practice of purchasing this way place a notation orr their order covering this feature clearly, and ls the question arises frequently, it is always I good policy- to rirake such notation on mill orders to avoid any misunderstanding.

Quesiion: "Failure on the part of our customer to furnish proper affidavit covering damages to a shipment (com-

nf"in, on which they registered with us on arrival of car bver six months agd; ha-t preyented us from filing freight claim against the railroad corfipany within the 9ix months time limit allowed for the filiig of such claims. Can we go back at this customer and collect our loss from him on Iccount of his delay in furnishing affidavit which held up the filing of this claim until the time limit had expired?"

AnswCr: Claim on this shipment could have and should have heen filed promptly upon receipt of customer's repori and freight bill. It is not necessary to wait for the supporting affidavit, as this can be furnished later when you _se- cuie it. We do hot think it is too late yet to file claim. You are allowed two years from date of delivery to file damage claims.

Qu-stion: "Is it necessary, or is it in any way helpful, to have a note or an accepted draft protested, regard being had only to the maker of the note or the acceptor of the draft ?"

Answer: The object of a protest is to inform a Person who is secondarily liable upon a bill or note that the person primarily liable has been properly called upon and has refuied to Dav the amount. There could be no obiect in refuied pay object conveving formal information of this kind to the parties conveying partles primarily liable, because they know what the facts are; prrmarrly lrable, Decause tney Know wnat f,ne racts they know that demand has been duly made of them and thai thev have failed to complv with it.

The veneer department is very interesting. Under, a long shed at the end of the plant, they have an accumulatiori of cants for veneers, from logs that have been shipped from all corners of the globe. They specialize in Philippine

Save the Second Growth for the Future

By Profcasor Emanuel f'ritz, Oiir. of Forcetry, Univ. of Calif.

California is cuttins second growth timber ! This state' ment will likely staitle those who dismiss the idea of practicins foresiry because it takes a long tirne to mature i croo oftrees. ilut it is true nevertheless, and in various sectio'ns of the State, second growth redrvood and second growth pine are occasionally cut for piles, cross ties, lumEer, or 6ther products. Thl total amount so cut is small, but it is signihcant of what should be common in another seneration.- It means that lumbering has been going on 5o long in California that there ,already exist old cut-over lands ivhich nature has been able to reclothe with a new crop of trees that are nolv of a size to make the timber

look good to the lumberman. Strch lands rvere. spared the misgiided enthusiasm of those rvho believe in- burning.off the-forest each year, under which practice the incoming trees would nevir have passed the seedling stage.

This year there has been an energetic cutting of young vellow bine timber in the Feather River regioh by\qell owners ior cross-ties, This timber is somewhere betwedn-. i0 ;;a 70 y."tt olcl, having come up- in dense stands on ' land togge<f ofi soon after the gold ru.sh-l>egan.. Individual trees, s6ire of them, exceed a diameter of 18 inches at breast height and they stand close together. They ar.e purely volunteer stands and represent what nature u'ill clo on good growing sites if giv-en a chance. . The cutting of this [imbei for cr6ss-ties is-very uneconomical however, accordins to Emanuel Fritz, Piofessor of Forestry at the Univeisitv of California, who spent a number of weeks in the forest.s of the Feather Rivlr region this summer. "The ties made from these trees are principally sapwood," he states, "and may not last over tllree years. Furthermore, tie ctitting or hewing, for tl'reseties are not sawed, is a wastefuf operation ind the prgd.u-ct is of relatively low value. Shouid this timber be htld l5 years longer it would bring a much higher retufn, more than-offsetting the additionil carrying iharges {or this p-eriod ; not only.because the trees ire ionstantly growing but becattse in l5 years it is certain that standing timblr, as accessible as these young tracts are, will biing a stumpage price probably more-than double the current rate."

ROD HENDRICKSON WRITES ON SHINGLE NAILS

Mr. Rod Hendrickson, head oI the Henclrickson Lumber Company of San Francisco, has made what looks to be a very'important discovery in connection with the use of coated nails by shinglers.

Recently he rvrotl to the San Francisco office of this Journal. as follows:

Mr. Ed. Martin, clo California Lumbcr Merchant, San Francisco, Calif.

Dear Sir:-

Thought pcrhaps you might like which *c belicve is of real value.

to insert a littlc item of news,

Both the Redwood and Cedar Shingle people have been advocating for a numbcr of ycars that the usc of a zinc coated or salvaniZed nail would xreitlv enhance the lasting quality of a Shingle and give almoJt lifiJongexistenceto a- Shinglc roof. They- have preached thi-s- doctrine for .+ number. of They preached this for a number ot ycars on accourit of thi various criticism that ordinary nails after a certain couit cet'tam length of time-eithcr -rust off-or that.the acid in thc shingle will eat the nail ofr long before the shingle becomes valucless.

We also find thai the Retailers tell us that thc Shinglers thcmselves will not use a zinc coated or galvanized nail' as they put them in their mouth when laying shingles and that the acid on this typc of nail makes their mouths sore.

bne of our very good friends, a very prominent Retailer in the ate. after a great -deal of experimenting and research work, has sc.vered thai thc shingler can eliminate anv sore mouth by first State, after -a great de discovered thai the shingler can any sore mouth by diooins the nails in a soluti,on of common baking soda and q diooins the sJluti,on baking water. fniJis a very valuable discovery and we believe shguld be plsFcd alone throush your worthy magazine. We are sending this informati-on to o-ur iarious Shinele Mills and associates. and we believe -iti"o" to o*ur iarious Shiigle this little forrnula will be used ln the direct advertirtising of shingles from now on.

this little formula will be used

Thanking you in advance for any publicity you care to give this little hote. we remain

Very truly yours, Rod Hendrickson.

The method of obtaining the labor hours on the various machines will vary in different plants, In our own mill we use "n .ticiiic punch clock, with stations throughout the plant at convenient ooints. Each.machine in the plant is given a number which is placed in a conspicious position so the operator can plainly see it. On our time shee-ts the -operat-or is required to designate the shop number of the work that he is doing, the number of machine on wirich he is work- ing, the number of men working and the time when work was commenced and work was stopp,ed. With this information it is a very simple.matter to compute the number of hours consumed on ani particular job.

We do .not attempt to keep complete costs on every job, but on stock work make test cost runs at various intervals. However. on a special_job, no matter of what size, we often keep complete'costi. In such cases the bills as they are turned into the factorv ari stamped "KEEP TIME," so that the men know that we w-ant a complete cost record. We realize that it would be much better to have a costs system of a more elaborate nature where att of tnij in- formation could be obtained, but we do not feel justified in the ex- penditure that would be required in keeping up such a system.

In closing I urge upon every mill operator to stoD guessins and start to determine definite costs that can be applied io-the esiimat- sfs rnar can De applted to the esttmatice is followed out by every operator,- .l be on a firmer footins and this tre'ing department.

Defendant in Dixon Roofing Ordinance Caee Acquitted

A case of unusual interest to the lumber trade of the state was thc recent trial of Robert McKenzie, Manager of the Farm Bureau for re-covering his original shingled roof with Star A Star shingles. Mr. McKenzie, who was familiar with the roofing ordinance stated that the roofing concern would not guarantee their product, owing to the pitch of his roof, so proceeded to use red cedar shingles. At the completion of the job, Mr. McKenzie was placed under arrest and brought to trial on November 12. After an interesting trial, in which several tests were made as to the fire resistant qualities of red cedar shingles and Class C roofing materials, the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty. In explaining its verdict the jury stated that the ordinance provides that there shall be used on roofs in Dixon fire-resistant materials. but the ordinance does not state that wood shingles shall not be used, also that the ordinance does not determine or give any measure of fire resistahce.

Tale of Two Cities

Editorial from the Los Angeles "Express"

The literary pork-and-beaners are at it again. The co.ultr-y is_ being flooded and nervspaper shop- swamped with the old tale of "war between San Francisco and Los Angeles."

Na-ming the_big German-built Zeppelin for this city gave the antlquated story a netv lease of life, and writers who having nothing to say, yet must write so they may eat, are making the most of the opportunity to aiquire a meal ticket. They pour -forth the yarn a6out uncbmpromising rivalry, deadly enmity, unyiel<iing hatred between the tw6 great cities of California. And many newspapers in the east, and some in the west, forgetful that they have pub- lished the same tale several times before, run it again. And so it goes out, in intimation at least, that becausJ the airship was called Los Angeles instead of San Francisco the.people of_ San Francisco have declared war of reprisal on Los Angeles.

Of course, those who know the two cities know the absurdity of the -tale. There is rivalry, naturally. One city bften wants what the other has set its heart on. But the sportsmanship_ in both cities is too good to let a disap- pointment rankle.

When the airship decision was made in favor of Los Angqles, instead of grouching about it and declaring war, Sdn Francisco produced a laugh that went as good frere as up north, when some wit there said nothing could be more-appropriate than to name the biggest gas bag in the world for Los Angeles.

We in Los Angeles may sometimes be irritatingly pa-

tronizing towards the city by the Golden Gate. without malice. It is like the attitude of the brother suddenly grown head and shoulders taller favorite elder sister. He teases, but he loves and her.

But it is younger than his fespects

And in San Francisco they sometimes have their fun about the middle west moving to Los Angeles. But they come here to invest their money. and thousands of the more than million population of 'Los Angeles are former San Franciscans.

No enmity exists, only friendly rivalry: But so long as the old story of "war" between the cities will bring the price of a plate of soup it will be told and retold-by writers who have nothing to say.

A. J. RUSSELL ATTENDS SHTNGLE CONGRESS

A. J. Russell, manager of the Santa Fe Lumber Co., San Francisco, is in the Northlvest where he attended the Annual Shingle Congress at Seattle, Washington, on December 1l and 12. The Shingle Congress was held this year in the New Olympic Hotel. While in the Northwest, he will stop at Portland for a few days, where he will be a visitor at the ofifices of the Dollar-Portland Lumber Co. He also plans to spend a few days at Aberdeert, the headquarters of the Saginaw Timber Co., the well known shingle manufacturers. The Santa Fe Lumber Co. represent these two large Northwest concerns in California.

Use Your Fences

One of the best, rnost prominent, and most economically operated mediums of good publicity that a "Mr. Pep" retailer has at his command, are the fenc6s that he has around his yard.

Most all yards are located advantageously for a good use of their fences for advertising. Yards in the industrial districts, along railway main lines, or those situated in or immediately adjoining residence districts, should all have at least a portion of their fences built to accommodate attractive advertising signs.

The illustration shows a part of the fence signs that have been painted by the Woodhead Lumber Company, at one of their Los Angeles yards.

This plant is r.vell located at the corner of Slauson Avenue and Main Street, on a busy local street car line, and at one of the busiest automobile traffic intersections on the edge of the city.

The main part of the illustration is of the sign along the Main Street side of the plant, a palt of the office shows in the left hand side of the picture.

They have put their famous "Woody" figure into action, showing him in various poses, holding a piece of rvall board, a door and a sash, and he is telling the rvide, 'lvide world some very clever things about rvhat his company has to sell. Here are some of the things that "Woodr"' is telling the prospective home owners : "There's rvorlds of

pleasure and fun in building the rvife that pantry or- a new ioom in the attic." "Building a garage is the only way to put one over on Ford-Henry likes it too."

NORTH AND SOUTH MEET ON LINCOLN PARK LINKS

Charlie Wilson, industrial representative in the Bay Dis- trict for Chas. R. McCormick & Co., sauntered out to the Lincoln Park Golf Links on Sunday, December 7, as is his usual custom. By chance Charlie happened to be all by himself, as the rain evidently discouraged the other parties who were to constitute his foursome. White waiting, he noted that a rather forlorn golfer was having quite an ordeal with the starter and from his actions eharlie sort of figured that he was a stranger in the Bay District. Throught the efforts of an energetic caddy who wanted to make the day profitable, he succeeded in bringing Charlie and the stranger together. After a few ,holes had been playe_d, Charlie's partner informed him that he was going to take part in -a lumbermen golf tournament at pn early date, so after a few more questions were passed by Charlie, the stranger was no other than Ray F. Throm of Los Angeles, who is associated with L. H. Ives & Co., in the southern _metropolis. So it developed into a perfect day fo.r both Ray and Charlie, who are both good golf.r.. Bui Charlie had a slight edge on Ray as he shot in 83, while Ray went over the course in 85.
