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:- to insert a littlc item of news, 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

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

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.

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

Very truly yours, Rod Hendrickson.
