Since the need for work and the need for workers exists, why not check your local high school and junior college. Call the educational institution and find out about interviewing graduates. It could be very profitable time spent. After putting the new employee to work consider enrolling him or her in the education course offered by the Lumber Association of Southern California. This course has proved to be quite valuable to the firms whose employees have completed the course.

In a few months the student can get a working knowledge of all the major items supplied by the average building material dealer. This course reduces by months, or even years, the time it takes to bring a new employee to his full potential. This makes him more pleased with his work and you more pleased with his work. What could be better?

So look to those June brides for business and to those June graduates for employees who are going to help you maintain and expand your business in the years to come.
