One naturally expects new shed framing to look .clean and good, but the L-ong-Bell kiln dried Douglas Fir dimension used to frame these sheds is so straight and good looking that the general impression is that only_ clear, perfeci lumber wai used in lts building. The alleys of generous width are sky-lighted at frequent intervals. There are no dark corners anywhere in the shed and the 7l-watt reflected lights spaced at 3Gfoot intervals over the alleys turn night into day when darkness overtakes the winter working hours. Another advantage of this lighting system is that the night watchman in his rounds can switch on the light and see into every nook and corner of the shed.

The lumber bins are of standard 4 ft. 2 in. by 7 ft. dimensions for the ground floor. Second and third tier bins are of like width, but of less height. Alley bridges placed at convenient intervals clear the alley floor by 12 f.eet. These sheds are thoroughly wind braced. Diagonal bracing over bin roofs is of 2x8 pieces laid horizontally and cairied from alley to alley or to shed wall. Diagonal

A frequently overlooked opportunity in the conduct of lumber yards is the use of the end walls of lumber sheds at alley intersections for the display of yard merchandise. Manager Broderson is preparing to utilize such space to timbers from roof to bin piers forestall end wracking by wind pressure. These sheds will probably stand straight and plumb as long as they stand at all.

Hardutare Department

display built-up sections of all roofing materials carried in stock and for displays of outside wall sections and of paint and other pickup items. Such fabricated displays help the customer in deciding on the kind and pattern of material he would purchase. Space so used is a year-around salesman adding to volume at little, if any, cost.

Considered part by part or as a whole this retail plant is a source of inspiration to all lumbermen who visit it and yet all this has been accomplished without the extravagant use of money. In fact, it is a most conservative investment. Its excellence then must be accounted for by a half century's retail lumber experience, thorough attention to detail and a desire not only to supply dependable building material but to provide service and facilities in keeping with modern merchandising.
