The California Lumber Merchant - February 1960

PICTURE OF A MAN INSTALLING A CAL.WOOD DOOR

Oops! we missed him. By the time we had <,rur fflm in and the shutter cocked, he already had this door installed and was on his way to the next one.

That's the way it is with these CAL-WOOD DOORS. They go in fast. You've seldom seen such precision craftsmanship. And that's only part of the CAL-WOOD story. Soft pine stiles make it easy to drill and screw holes for the hardware. Interlocking all wood grid cores, bonded to beautifully textured, selected wood panels by premium glues, make a door that won't sag, buckle or warp and is a ioy to behold.

CAL-WOOD DOORS come in many types. Contractors like them all for several reasons. First is the "quality look" they give a house. Second, the price is right . in fact, very low for what you get. And third, CAL-WOOD DOORS mean definite savings on installation time.

All in all, it's pretty good business to sell CAL-WOOD DOORS. Nlaybe rve think so because we sell so many of them. In fact, we had to build a big, new plant to serve the door needs of the entire West. Now, we'd like to do business with you. Your orders rvill be handled promptly, carefully and to your satisfaction. Try us and see.

H-E-A-R and T-H-E-R-E:

Optimism in the future of the industry remains strong as dealers continue to build new vards or modernize existing plants to meet the merchandising challenges of the new I decade. Marvin Compton has closed his Sharps Park Lumber Company and is building a new yard about a mile south of Sharps Park which will display a new trade-style: Pacifica Lumber

Remodeling plans are afoot at Bruce Bauer's San Carlos yard Easton Lumber and Supply (LeRoy Coperton) of Fresno is now doing business in its completely new yard located approximately two miles from the old headquarters on South Elm (a complete report of the opening will be featured iu an early A-LMA-NAC)

Noah Adams Lumber Company's modernization of its Fairfield yard is rapidly nearing completion Merner Lumber Company l-ras made several handsome changes in their Palo Alto store Diamond-National reports their Grass Valley yard is now being remodeled and will feature an attractive new interior and sport new fixtures and light- itg The new Diamond-National yards at Redding and Fairfield (which will be similar to the recently opened Concord building materials center) are expected to be ready for operation by the end of February The l(ing Lumber Company's Delano yard has completed its modernization and is now.in full operation, as is the Modesto Lumber Company's Salida yard.

ARTHUR MARTIN, manager of the lumber and building mategials division of Hales and Symons, Sonora, and member of the Lumber Merchants Association board of directors, retired on January 1st after some 40 years in the industry. Together with Mrs, Martin, he is now enjoying the sunshine of Palm Springs but plans to shortly return to Sonora those who know Art can be assured he will remain active in civic afiairs-his presence and support will be missed within the industry and we extend to him our warmest appreciation for his many years of active participation in industry afiairs and wish him many enjoyable and healthful years.

COMPONENT CONSTRUCTION CLINIC

The character of the building materials industry continues to be reflected in new techniques and methods of operating, as is well known by those dealers who are planning to increase their share of the market in the years ahead, which hold widely heralded promises of ner,r' construction records. One such facet of the cl-ranging industry is the well-publicized manufactured house, which has come

a remarkable way in the 68 years si.nce the first prefab was sold in lVlassachusetts-notwithstanding the absence of a major technological break-through in home fabrication.

An index of the manufactured-home progress is indicated by the more than 9/o share of the new coustruction market which it scored in 1959-u'ith a unit production increase ol 20/o over a year earlier, of rvhich one firm produced some 45,000 units.

Although fabricated homes are not today a really rnajor factor in the Northern California market, with the arrival of major prefabricators on the \A'est Coast and the implementation of their aggressive merchandising policies, it can be expected that competition from this area will steadily mount and that an increasing number of dealers will be faced with the problem of combatting it.

Our industry is strong and alert and lve doubt the lumber dealer is going to "roll over and die." If l-re decides he is interested in remaining as a major factor in the housing market. he will offer his customers the tools to meet competition in any form in which it may appear. In this cor.rnection, some Lumber Merchants Association members are already offering their customers pre-cut materials and components, generally restricted to trusses (we learned o{ two more last week), while others are developing small land tracts or actively building.

Our industry has not remained idle-thanks to the active participation of industry-minded dealers r'r'ho have supported their associations-and for the past several years the Lumber Dealers Research Council (popularly known as Lu-Re-Co) has been engaged in extensive research orr components which are constructed in the dealer's yard and, in turn, offered his customers. Such components offer the builder flexibility of design with significant reduction of "on-the-job" labor costs-certainly an attractive combination.

In an endeavor to bring its members the complete component story, the Lumber Merchants Association, in conjunction with the Lumber Dealers Research Council, will sponsor a two-day clinic at Rickey's Studio Inn, Palo Alto, February 16 and 17th.

As the clinic unfolds, the entire component picture will be explored-market, competition, codes, techniques, costs, etc. Additionally, field trips will be made to firms now manufacturing components so that dealers can acquire firsthand information. Full information on this important meeting has been sent to all members.

While it is undoubtedly true that component construction is not for all dealers-many will continue to profitably merchandise other phases of the market-each dealer will certainly want to have in hand full facts on which to base his decision. The Clinic is the place to get such information and we urge dealers to recognize the trend before it becomes a major threat. It is fairly well accepted that a tecl'rnological breakthrough in housing is inevitable and our industry must be prepared to meet it.

LMA BOARD of DIRECTORS MEETS

The Board of Directors of the Lumber Merchants Association met in San Francisco on January 22nd to review the Association's activities and plan new dealer programs for the months ahead. The Board received a comprehensive report on the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association sixth annual Building Products Exposition held in November in Cleveland, and previewed plans for tl-re forthcoming 7th annual Building Products Exposition which will be held in San Francisco, November 13th-16th. A final review was also given the Lumber Merchants Association component construction clinic scheduled for February 16th17th at Rickey's Studio Inn, Palo Alto.

A Convention committee was appointed to plan programs and entertainment for the forthcoming Lumber Merchants Association 20th annual convention to be held April 24th-26th at the Ahwahnee hotel, Yosemite National Park. Members of the Committee, under the chairmanship

RED CEDAR resists moisture, decay, shrinkage and swelling. lt works easily -takes stains, paints and varnishes readily. Strong, durable and an excellent insulator, Red Cedar is the perfect siding for any climate. And because it is milled in a variety of pAtterns, and is available in both smooth and rough surfaces, there is a style of Red Cedar siding to match any architectural design. For sheathing and subflooring, too, suggest Red Cedar.

DEPENDABLE Red Cedar from the Western Pine Region is milled, sea-

Plywood Box Beoms Winning Approvol of Architects As Rugged, Economicql fttoteriol in lllodern Building

Plywood box beams are currently winning wide approval from architects and builders as a rugged, economical material especially adaptable to modern structures. Notable new buildings which use plywood box beams as an integral part of the construction include the Detroit Country School and Grace Baptist Church, Detroit, Michigan; the Wedgwood "Home of Tommorrow" in Portland, Oregon, and several new homes in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, designed by Architect Tasso Katselas.

A non-corrosive, lightweight, structural component, the beams are simply fabricated and comparatively inexpensive. yet have a durable strength approaching that of steel.

Box beams have been used in spans up to 90 feet, and successful designs have been fabricated in lengths of 120 feet. Curved or cambered shapes are available, permitting complete freedom of design. Left exposed in exterior or interior construction, the beams lend clean, functional lines.

Use of shop-fabricated box beams-openly displayed to heighten the atmosphere of spaciousnss5-is one of the outstanding features of the attractive Wedgwood "Home of Tomorrow" built recently in Portland, Oregon. Dwight E. Haugen, President of Wedgwood Homes, Inc., aptly describes the showcase house as "a home for the family with $50,000 tastes and a $35,000 budget."

Primary advantage of the 40-foot box tured by Diamond Lumber Company llomes are that they are easy to erect, labor costs. Among other advantages, the have a stronger stress value than standard a smoothly textured, clear surface.

beams manufacfor Wedgwood thus saving on structural units beams, and have

Because the box beams are often left exposed, Diamond Lumber Company has found CreZon overlaid plywood to be the ideal material for their fabrication. CreZon, trade name for a phenolic resin material produced by Crown Zellerbach Corporation, is heat-sealed to plywood to create a permanently inseparable surface.

The material produces a highly smooth surface that resists checking, cracking, buckling, warping and grain rise. In addition, it is easy to work with and takes paint easily.

Only three sides of the box beam require CreZon, since the unexposed surface does not need the strength and finish obtainable with the overlay.

The materials used in Wedgwood Homes call for extensive use of this durable product. Below is a material list of construction for Wedgwood Homes:

Donover Co. Acquires filontebello Site for Better Service

\\t. E. Calhoun, manag'er for Donover Co., Southern California area, announces that his firm has acquired the offrces and yard facilities formerly owned by the California Lumber Company at 915 Olympic Blvcl., Montebello. Immediate steps have been taken to convert the operation to a strictly wholesale distribution yard for L. C. L. shipments to retail lumber dealers in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego counties. Complete custom mill n.rachinery is being installed for customer service and, when soon completed, will boast eight units of equipment.

"Our concern can claim a couple of 'firsts' in Southern California service," said Mr. Calhoun. "We were the first wholesaler to stock Cedar and Engelmann Spruce for LCL dealer delirery. And in our new location there will be no change in this policy," he said. "In fact, we intend to expand our small-order deliveries to include many species not presently available," he continued.

W. tr. Calhoun is an "old-timer" in Southland lumber circles. It was 38 years ago this year that he joined tl-re

lumber industry in Vernon, later going to Patten-Blinn, rvhere he remained until he became identified with Donover Company 16 years ago when they opened offices in Los Angeles. He has been their southern area manager since that time.

Tl-re new wholesale concentration yard is centrally 1ocated in the L,ast Los Angeles industrial district and is 'lvithin minutes of the Santa Ana Freeway, offering fast service to all southern communities and cities. It recuires the services of seven units of mobile equipment to handle the yard and shipping department, it was said.

The more-t1-ran-three-acre yard is located on the Union Pacific Railroad spur and fronts right on Olympic boulevard. The offices will be remodeled following the renovation of the mill and the large warehouses have been converted for strictly under-cover storage. The yard is completely paved and modern in every detail.

"There are no changes in our sales policies, but our inventories will be considerably expanded to offer that extra service to retail lumber dealers.t' said Mr. Calhoun.

Foothill Lumber Co. Tries to Provide All Seruices

The citizens of Glendora, California, and surrounding communities recently turned out to the score of more than 1,500 to celebrate the grand opening of a new, and completely modern, Foothill Lumber Company located at 550 West Foothill Boulevard in the sonthern valley city 30 miles east of Los Angeles.

The pioneer lumberyard first opened for business in the residerrtial community in 1912, but early in the morning of June 8 last year, fire destroyed every building ancl all of the yarcl's inventory. Tl-re original owner was veteran lumber dealer H. S. Riser, rvho was one of the key figures in the develooment of the area arouncl Glendora at the turn of the cenfury.

The present owner, who also has resided in Glenclora for more than a half-century, is Walt Wiley, pioneer lumberman, restarlrateur and business executive of the fast-growing area tl-rat was once a stop on tl-re stagecoach for passengers traveling to and from Los Angeles, San Bernardino and the east. Walt purchased tlie retail lumber establishment irr 1947 and has devoted all of his time furnishing n'raterials for the growth of "his to$,n."

Foothill Lumber Company is situated right on the main stem. It is next door to one of the largest supermarkets in all Southern California. The more-than-an-acre plant sports five brand new warehouses, where every stick of lumber is stored undercover and dry. In addition, a completely modern self-service store with an open-air display area for browsing and shopping for hard-to-get items is the number one attraction. A customer rnill was ready before Christmas under the capable management of Superintenclent Art Shinn. And five trucks are standing ready to deliver everything from a 2x4 to lumber for a complete home or tract.

In addition to every item of building lumber, all gratles an<l species, a complete stock of standard-brand buildirrg items, such as wall surfacings, .paint, hardware, plywood ancl cloors, are available for immediate delivery. A Plan Roon.r is being completed where builders and contractors lnay prepare orclers and make selection.

RAPISTAN CONVEYOR SAVES

LUMBERYARD TIME AND MONEY

The introduction of a simple conveyor system has resulted in substantial cost savings to a lumber conpany by creating a rapid-flowing "river" between f reight cars on a spur and the warehouse. Strong's Lumber & Coal Company, South Rockwood, Mich., reports a direct saving of from $8 to $lO in unloading each box car of building materials. This is made possible by the use of a conveyor system extended up to 110 feet from the boxcar. As a result, employes save many hours of manual labor and the lumber firm registers a 25/o cost saving in unloading operations.

The lumber firm installed a conveyor system engineered and manufactured by RapidsStandard Co., Inc., Grand Rapids, Mich. Equipment used in the yard includes the power, portable Stevedore, Jr. and gravity Rapid-Wheel and Rapid-Roller conveyors. The equipment is highly maneuverable and can easily be moved from car-to-car and adjusted to the distance from the unloading point to the destination in the warehouse, according to Strong's manager, Miles Laura. One worker in the boxcar places the lumber end-to-end on the Stevedore, Jr. Then the powef conveyor nloves the line of lumber along the gravity conveyor and up a fivefoot incline to a second worker who olaces the boards on the warehouse balcony. These two men, one in the boxcar and the other on the balcony, can unload a boxcar lvith 25,000 feet of lumber easily in an eight-hour dav.

Strong's uses the Rapistan Stevedore Jr. Model 350 constructed ot r/8" heat-treated

aluminum alloy with a high-strength-weight ratio. It can be readilJ' movecl throughout the yard on two supporting wheels. The conveyor belt is powered by an electrical engine and can be adjusted from low horizontal to steep incline by a self-locking crank mechanisrn.

The gravity conveyor consists of RapidWheel and Rapid Roller conveyors made in five and l0-foot sections. The frames are constructed of lightweight alunrinum and l0 or |Z-gauge steel with baked enamel or galvanized finish. Strong's employs 18" wide sections of both Rapid-Wheel and Rapid- Roller conveyors. However, the RapidWheel also is available in 12" and 24" widths; and the Rapid-Roller is also made in 12" and l) wrdths.

SELF-MERCHANDISERS FOR WAXES AND FINISHES

Two compact self-merchandisers have been developed by United States Plywood Corporation, launching an intensive advertising and promotional campaign to stinrulate sales of Weldwood waxes and finishes. The campaign is backed by a heavl' schedule of consumer advertising in Life magazine and on Arthur Godfrey's famed rnorning CBS radio pr()gram.

Based on wide trade and consumer acceptance of the Weldwood Aclhesive Center, U.S. Plywood recognized the need to develop a compact unit for easy retail selling of waxes and finishes. Two different units were designecl; one a merchandising display, the other a store fixture. A survey was conducted in twelve key nrarketing areas throughout the country, offering dealers a choice. Over 600 dealers were shown color sketches of both and asked their preference. Results of the survey indicated alrnost equai acceptance.

Edge marking of lumber with company or brand name and species can now be accomplished automatically through the use of the Conveyor Line Marking equipment manufactured by Automatic Marking Equipment, The printing equipment is easily installed on the "green chain" of any lumber mill at a point following the trimmer or button saws. Tl.re lumber moving down the "green chain" contacts and rotates the printing roller which makes the desired impression. No additional labor is necessary. Speed of operation is determined by the speed of the lumber moving along the "green chain."

Lumber marking ink capable of application on wet materials is available in most stanclard colors. Approximately 30,000 linear feet of lumber can be marked with one pint of ink. An ink filling port installed on a hollow ink container with each unit facilitates replenishing the ink supply. The ink container holds three ounces of ink. An auxilliarv inking system is available and offers ionger operating cycles without re-inking. Little maintenance other than periodic lubrication and re-inking are necessary for trouble free long life operation.

'Just One Big Fomily' Aboord Al Peirce Co. Coos Boy Gorrier

The captain and crew of the good ship Coos Bay arrived from Oregon last month with more than 2,500,000 board feet of Douglas Fir to unload at Los Angeles Harbor. More than a million feet was stowed below decks and the balance was stacked topside in long rows and high piles from the bow to the stern of this 350-foot vessel.

This was, of course, just one of the three round trips made monthly by the Coos Bay, which is owned and operated by the Al Peirce Co., distributors of Pacific Coast forest products to retail lumber dealers in Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Arkansas and Texas.

This high volume of lumber sales is made through the Long Beach offices under the capable management of Bill lfanen, a veteran in the industry, who is assisted by Tom Duncan and Anne Vantusko. secretarv to the sales staff.

The lumber transport vessel and crew are in command of Captain Ernest Bliss, a veteran in the trans-Pacific service, Orient and around the world. The 2l seagoing lumberjacks really live "high on the hog" while at sea, and also at dockside. Meals fit for a king, with several entree selections at.every sitting, make these jobs run at a premium in the rnclustry.

The officers are also permitted to have their wives aboard on frequent trips coastwise and, at the time this coverage was made, Babs Bliss, wife of the skipper, and Dickie Stenbro, wife of the chief engineer, were passengers aboard this floating industrial hotel. Everybody is a member of the family and the social hall midships sports a 21" TY lor both officers and crew alike.

Skipper Ernest Bliss is ably assisted in his navigation of the lumber cargo ship by Chief Officer Fred Blibingat. The executive officers are assisted by two watch officers who are holders of masters and chief papers. In addition to the lumber workers and crane operators aboard ship, the Coos Bay staffs five deckhands, a kitchen crew of four and an engineer staff of four. It requires 72 hotrs to make the voyage from Coos Bay, Oregon, to Los Angeles Harbor at Wilmington.

A "switch" was made when the vessel completed discharge at Pier 123 and moved to the Sun Lumber Company main yard docking facility. Later Captain Bliss moved to the Consolidated Lumber Co. docks for further discharge of cargo.

Washington's birthday is February 22nd', and patriotic Americans pay tribute on that date to that wondrous man.

**t<

Washington was, and will always be, the "father of his country": "first in peace, first in war and first in the hearts of his countrymen," as "Light-horse llarry" Lee (the father of Robert E. Lee) so wondrously said.

**{<

IIe was a great man, a truly great man, and we can keep right on saying that over and over. When his country needed him he gave every ounce of his strength, devotion and magnificent leadership.

BY JACK DIONNE

And when the emergency ended he went back to his people and his home, denying all declarations that he was an "irreplaceable" man. He knew this to be a great nation, even in its infancy; and he knew that God would provide men of wisdom and devotion to take up where he left off.

Which was one of the chief proofs of his greatness. No man is truly great in whom the power-lust holds sway.

Washington had much of the personal modesty that marked the character of Lincoln, although he lacked Lincoln's magic gift of self-expression.

When he left his beloved Mount Vernon to take up the great cause of the Presidency, he wrote: "With the best ' disposition to render service to my country in obedience to its call, but with less hope of answering its expectations."

**{<

Wrote John Richard Green: "No nobler figure ever stood in the forefront of a nation's life. Washington was grave and courteous in address; his manners were simple and unpretentious; his silence and the serene calmness of his temper spoke of a perfect self-mastery. {. {< {.

"But there was little in his outer bearing to reveal the grandeur of soul which lifts his figure, with all the simple majesty of an ancient statue, out of the smaller passions, the meaner impulses, of the world around him.

"rt was only as the weJry J*n, i""rra on that the colonists discovered, however slowly and imperfectly, the greatness of their leader; his clear judgment, his heroic endurance, his silence under difficulties. his calmness in the hour of danger and defeat; the patience with which he waited, the quickness and hardness with which he struck; the lofty and serene sense of duty that never swerved from its task through resentment or jealousy; that never through war or peace felt the touch of a mean ambition; that knew no aim save guarding the freedom of his fellow countrymen,

A man was walking through the woods when he met a country boy with a dozen squirrels on a string, but no gun. The man asked the boy how he killed the squirrels, and the boy said he threw rocks at them. The man remarked he would like to see that. The boy said O.K., so they hunted

up a squirrel. The boy put his left hand in his pocket, pulled out a rock and hit the squirrel right in the head the first throw. The man was amazed. He said:

"Boy, you'd make a great southpaw pitcher."

"What's a southpaw?" the boy asked.

"A left-handed pitcher," said the man.

"But I ain't left-handed, I'm right-handed," said the boy.

"Then why did you kill that squirrel with hand?" asked the man.

"Because when I throw right-handed I tear pieces," said the boy.

Western Wood Preservers Discuss How to Better Serve Industry in Trested Products

Executive officers, representing major wood-treating companies in Oregon, Wasl-rington, California and Montana, convened at the Fairmont hotel in San Fraucisco, January 12 and 13, for the annual meeting of the Western Wood-Preserving Operators Association. Companies comprising the Association produce more than 50-milliondollars annually in pressure-treated forest products.

Discussions were centered on "How to More Effectively Serve the Construction Industry?" with Treated Woocl Piling and Structural Lumber, which are universally recognized as permanent building materials that will withstancl severe rveather conditions while supporting heavy loacls.

Bill Benard, structural engineer. 6th Army Headquarters, Presidio of San Francisco, appeared as guest speaker ancl explained how the Wood-Treating Industry must expand its educational program so that long-term economy, providecl by sound building practices, may be realized by all govenlmental agencies.

The far-reaching importance of this meeting was evidenced by the attendance of C. Miles Burpee, executive director of American Wood-Preservers Institute, Chicago, Illinois, and Clinton T. Hallsted, president and general manager of Honolulu Wood Treating Company, Ltcl., Honolulu, Hawaii.

D. B. Bowman, manager of Cascade Pole Company, Tacoma, Washington, was unanimously elected as the next president, and has outlined a vigorous program for the ensuing year. To assist Mr. Bowman in the Southern area, W. W. Hanly, Jr., development engineer of Koppers Company, Inc., has been appointed chairman of the California group.

C. F. Craig, J. H. Baxter & Co:, Portland, was the retiring president of the WWPOA.

Must Know His Stuff-

Longview, WashingtonSome members of the forest products industry apparently subscribe to the idea that when you find a good man for a job, it is wise to keep him in it. Such certainly seems to be the case with John Mantle,

general rnanager of the Weed, California, branch of Interiational Pap& Company's Long-Bell Division, who wasre-elected for the ninth time as president and member of the board of trustees of the Pine Industrial Relations Council. The well-known West Coast lumberman is also in his 13th year as both a district director and association director, as well as member of the Executive committee of the Western Pine Association.

President Poul Bqrber, Northwest Hordwood Assn., Sees Top Yeqr

"The outlook for Northwest hardwoods in 1960 is sparked by many inquiries for our Alder, in particular, coming in constantly to the Association's office, and to the individual mills, and I can see no let-up in demand for this year," declares Paul A. Barber, president of the Northwest Hardwood Association, 3253 Commodore Way, Seattle 99, Wash.

"Of course, our hardwood demand follows the furniture business verv closelv. and this has created a 'hot-and-cold' demand situ'ation," fie continued. "During the past year, orders from such places as Michigan, Indiana, Florida, Texas and other eastern states, particularly for Northwest alder and maple, have been met-resulting in much repeat business. Our woods have found their way to eastern cabinet, furniture and specialty manufacturers.

"IJses for our woods for things other than furniture will tend to keep our business and demand in a more leveling situation. In turn, this should encourage increased and high-quality production from the mills.

"Alder is being praised for its versatility and workability by these eastern users. A Texas firm using alder for mouldings in glass inserts on flush doors prefers it to their local

hardwoods because of its machining qualities and glueholdingability...

"A Florida cabinet company, which is paying an additional $20/M freight charge from California users, is sold on alder's ability to take various finishes

"'With this type of acceptance, and with wood users all over the country discovering what those in the Northwest Hardwood business have always known concerning the features of these woods, I can only see a growing demand in 1960. It only remains with the producers themselves to meet this demand with a quality-grade product.

"1960 will see more activity in the use of the Northwest Hardwoods in veneers. Our hardwoods have got a fairly good foothold in the nation's markets, even though it is still on a small scale. The new year should be one of more production and more business," NHA President Barber concluded.

Club 2 Golt Tournqment Scheduled For Rio Hondo €ountry Club

Forest Fires Cquse $2.4 Million Cloim

The Michigan-Californii Lumber Co. has blamed the Sacramento Municipal Utility District for causing two forest fires last fall and has claimed $2,398,850 for damage to timber. The fires occurred in the Placerville area of El Dorado county. Alfred T.

The Bureau's usual per diem charges will apply for this service, Simpson told The California Lumber Merchant that the custom of stamping lumber in buildings under construction was begun some years ago when grade-stanr,ped lumber was not so readily available as it is today.

"The West Coast industry is now in a position to grade starnp its entire output if this is desired," Simpson said, "In the interest of proper merchandising and proper use, all four surfaces of a piece of lumber must be examined before its grade can be determined accurately." The telegram was signed West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

In 1959 savings gain amounted to $6.8 billion, l0/o more than the 1958 total; December's gain of $1,275 million was well above the previous record for any month set in June 1959. Withdrawals in December were 45/' of. gross receipts compared with 43/. a year ago.

In December, mortgage lending contintled to decline, falling 3/o below December 1958. Due to the record lending achieved during most of 1959, total lending for the year

Sacramento.-Self-assessed transactions subject to California's 3/o retail sales and use tax totaled $5,803,703,000 during the third quarter of 1959, according to George R. Reilly, First District member of the State Board of Equalization. This is an all-time high, 16.2/a above the same 1958 quarter and I.6/o above the previous record achieved in the second quarter of 1959.

Taxable transactions in the First Equalization District amounted to $917,463,000. The gains ran ftom 28/o in Santa Clara county to 8/o in San Francisco. Next highest sales occurred in San Mateo, up 22/o, and in San Luis Obispo, up 20/o. Ten years ago, San Francisco's sales were 7l/o greater than the combined sales of the six other counties in the district. In the quarter under review, they were almost 13/o less. This is mainly a result of the increase in sales in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, which have more than tripled during the decade, while the dollar volume of sales in San Francisco has risen by less than one-half.

The most important statewide gain was reported by new motor vehicle dealers, whose taxable sales were one-third higher than those of the corresponding quarter in 1958.

Taxable transactions reoorted bv contractors and wholesale building materials dealers amounted to almost onehalf billion dollars during the quarter, up l5/o from 1958.

The retail building materials group recorded an increase of l7/o to top 323 million dollars. The greatest gains in this field were experienced by lumber and building materials dealers and plumbing and electrical supply dealers, each of which recorded increases of over 2I/o. Other related industries also did well. Sales of household and home furnishings stores and household appliance dealers each rose in the neighborhood ol 17/o.

Other notable gains were recorded by trailer, boat, motorcycle and plane dealers, whose sales were up 43.6/o to lead all categories in relative growth for the fourth consecutive quarter.

N-AWLA Soles-troining Progrom to Stqrt qt Once

The National-American Wholesale Lumber Association will kick off its newly organized "Sales Training Program" this month, initiating what is probably the first "school" for wholesale lumber salesmen in the history of the industry. Tl-re correspondence-styled courses will concentrate on one 'selling and marketing subject for an entire month, with nine such courses running through December 1960-scheduled. In addition, in three-month intervals, April and September, 1960, and January 1961, there will be local one-day meetings in twelve major centers which will afford an opportunity for discussion of subjects covered in previous mailings as well as current topics.

The-meetings, as well as the entire program, will be directed by Sidney Edlund Associates, managemellt counselors, specializing in marketing problems, sales strategy and sales training. Mr. Edlund, a past president of Life Savers, Inc., and Pine Bros., will personally direct the courses and moderate each of the regional meetings.

In commenting on the "How to Sell More Lumber Profitably" program, N-AWLA Past President Don Meredith, says, "Every lumberman knows we can and should modernize our selling methods. And there's never been a better time, now that the manufacturers have launched their powerful advertising program."

J. Word Alla ( rightt p.esrdenl, NotionqlAmericqn Wholerole Lmber A5sn.

From the manufacturers' point of vielv, Robert \11. Ingram, president of NLMA, notes, "The National Wood Promotion Program is designed to bolster the demand for lumber and wood products. Your Sales Training Program will give our industry the tools it needs to meet and futther encourage the increased demand."

Any Lumber representative is eligible to participate in the program including wl-rcilesalers, manufacturers and commission men. For any organizatiou to get the most out of the program, it is suggested that owners and salesmanagers participate actively along with their represetttatives.

Cost of the nine-months course is $100 for each enrollee, payable in advance. There are no other costs, otl.rer than getting to the meetings. Checks for enrollment should be sent to N-AWLA headquarters, No. 3 East 44th Street, New York 17, New York.-

Basically, the program will work like this: Each month, enrollees will receive sheets with several really good presentations on the particular subjects to be covered that month (see schedule elsewl-rere in article).

Tl-rese presentations will be printed on the left si$e, the right side remaining blank for the enrolle's presentations and suggestions. No matter how good the original presentation may be, hundreds of constructive suggestions will be pouring in from all over tl-re country and valuable prizes will be awarded for the best constructive suggestions.

Enrolles will receive a bulletin reporting the prize winners, constructive suggestions and significant commentsall with credit to those who made them. Each result-getting experience will be incorporated into the original presentations and copies sent out to "students" for their "I\lanual for Improved Selling Methods"-methods which have been proved in the acid test of tough competition right in the industry.

N-AWLA feels sure it has a "down-to-earth" plan in its new Sales Training Program, a course which will provide participating wholesalers, manufacturers and commissiotr men with methods that have been tried and proven over the years by top men in the industry.

WPA Introduces "Lumber Forest"

Portland.-A nerv dimension in lumber exhibits, called the "\Arestern Pine Ilegion Lumber Forest," will be unveiled this convention season by the Mrestern Pine Association. Promotion Director Leo rr.V. Beckstrom saicl the new exl-ribits will be displayed at 20 regional lumber dealer conventions during tl-re year.

The "forest" consists of free-stancling uprigl.rt boards of varied lengths, .ividths ancl errcl-shapes. Each board is finished in a rich, bright, cleep or traclitional color, pointing up the current color-on-woo<1 campaigu of the Association. All 10 of tl-re Western Pine region's lun.rber sDecies are included irr the display.

"This is surprisingly sirnple in concept," Beckstrom said. "We think many retailers, home builders and others will want to use the idea for showrooms and show windows."

The "trees" of the forest are held upright by simple easel-like bases. T1-rey have surprising stability. Inherent in the display idea is the invitation to all passersby to come in, touch the lumber trees, handle them ancl discuss them with WPA staffers.

"While we feature boards in this particular display," the lumberman said. "it is so flexible that such lumber iterns as siding, dimension lumber, windows, mouldings and decking can also be displayed in a like manner."

A special plan sl.reet detailing the "lumber forest" exhibit and how it can be usecl is available from the \\/estern Pine Association, 510 Yeon l3uilcling, Portlancl '1, Oregon.

Los Angeles Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. 1 met January 11 at the Silver Saddle restaurant for its monthly gathering, which was presided over by Sallye Bissell in the absence of President Margaret Gladish. Following an excellent swiss steak repast, the lumberwomen heard Mrs. Eva M. Ballo, deputy probation officer of the East Los Angeles area office, Prbbation department, in an interesting talk. The dynamic speaker explained many methods used in combatting juvinile deliquency today. She had been invited at the request of Hoo-Hoo-Ettes wanting to see if the club could help some worthy girls. Mrs. Ballo told how clubs may, as a unit or individual members, be of great assistance in the work.

Bessie Stewart of the C. P. Henry Co. showed the members color slides of the Stewarts' 1959 summer vacation in Lake Tahoe, Banff and Lake Louise, with other scenes of Glacier Nat{. Park and parts of Oregon. Mrs. Stewart is an

interesting narrator and had many amusing anecdotes to accompany the more humorous slides.

Additional word iust received from the club on the Christmas party, Detember 14, is that Betty Fort, one of the riew Hoo-Hoo-Ettes, won the handsome Christmas tree generously donated by the H. M. Nelson Lumber Co. The 15 beautiiul boughs of cedar used as table and room

lmportcnce of Wholesoler Gired

The National Association of Wholesalers elected W. D. (Tommy) Jenkins, Richmond, Virginia, electronics wholesaler, as its new president at the NA\ r annual meeting of members and trustees at the Hotel Roosevelt, wl-rere the world premiere of the wholesale' feature motion picture, 'jThe Devil to Pay," starring Buster Keaton and depicting the key role of the wholesaler in modern distribution, was also held. The National Association of Wholesalers is a federation of 2l national wholesale associations with a combined membership of more than 10,000 wholesalers.

In his acceptance remarks, President Jenkins said, "Too many people fail to understand the economy and efficiency inherent in the wholesale method of distribution. The blame for this lies at the door of us individual wholesalers; we have been so busy selling goods, we have neglected to sell wholesaling and the tremendous value it adds to goods dis-

tributed, ancl the contribution wholesaling makes to the high standard of living enjoyed by the American people."

Mr. Jenkins, looking to the future and referring to the motion picture, "The Devil to Pay," added: "I believe that 1960 will see a nationwide awakening of the giant $150 billion wholesaling industry to its educational responsibilities to its suppliers, its customers and to the general public. The NAW movie is the first of what I hope will be a long line of industry tools with which we can tell the world about our services in the public interest."

Proverbs says: He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he that followeth vain persons shall be void of understanding.

It has been recognized by the thinking men of all ages that agriculture is the basic industry on which civilization is built. A famous economist 'once remarked that the civilization of the United States is founded on nine inches of top soil, and when that is gone, civilization will go with it.

Daniel Webster said: "The farmers are the founders of civilization."

Emerson wrote: "All historic nobility rests on the possession and use of land."

Thomas Jefferson said: "Let the farmer forevermore be honored in his calling, for they who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God."

Chatfield wrote: "Agriculture is the noblest of all alchemy, for it turns earth and even manure into gold, conferring on its cultivator the additional reward of health."

To Be Poor

We have grown literally afraid to be poor. We despise anyone who elects to be poor in order to simplify and save his inner life. We have lost the power of even imagining what the ancient idealization of poverty could have meant; the liberalization from material attachments, the unbribed soul, the manlier indifference, the paying our way by what we are or do and not by what we have the right; to fling away our life at any moment irresponsiblythe more athletic trim; in short the moral, fighting shape. It is certain that the prevalent fear of poverty among the educated classes is the worst disease from which our civilization suff ers.-William James.

Greot Moscow librory

The Lenin library in Moscow is the greatest of all Russian libraries. It contains 645,800 square feet of floor space, about 156 miles of shelves and about twenty million books, magazines, etc. It opens every morning, including Sundays, at nine, and stays open until 11 that night. It is staffed by 2.000 men and women. who work in two shifts.

A Big Crop

A farmer raised a crop of flax and had a tablecloth made out of the linen. At dinner one evening he bragged about it to a woman guest, and said: "I raised this tablecloth myself."

She was all curiosity, and asked how he did it. He said: "If you'll promise to keep it a secret, I'll tell you." She promised.

Said the farmer: "I planted a napkin."

The Leiler "E"

The most unfortunate letter in the alphabet, some say, is "e," because it is always forever in debt, always out of cash, never out of danger and in hell all the time. Still, it is never found in war, is always in peace and never out of eats. ft is the beginning of existence, the commencement of ease and the end of trouble. Without it there could be no life, no heaven; it is the center of honesty and is always in love. It is also the beginning of encouragement and enendeavor. and the final end of failure.

No Pleosure

The tiresome young lawyer was wearing out both the judge and the jury with the length of his tedious harangue to the jury. He paused and said to the judge:

"Your Honor, is it your pleasure that I proceed with my argument?"

And the honest judge replied:

"Young man, the pleasure of listening to you ended an hour ago, but you may proceed."

Hold fast to your dreams. Within your heart

Keep one still secret spot Where dreams may go, And sheltered so May thrive and growWhere doubt and fear are not.

A Somple Wos Enough

The editor of. a magazine received a letter from a lady writer that read as follows:

"Sir:

"You sent back, last week, a story of mine. I know you did not read the story because, as a test, I pasted three pages together, and the story came back with those pages still pasted. So I know you are a fraud who condemns things you have not even read."

He replied : "Madam:

"At breakfast, when I open an egg, I don't have to eat the whole egg to discover how bad it is."

Thomas Dreier wrote: ff we ever are to enjoy life, now is the time-not tomorrow, nor next year, nor in some future life after we are dead. The best preparation for a better life next year is a full, harmonious, joyous life this year. One's belief in a rich future life is of little importance unless we coin them into a rich present life. Today should always be the most important day.

The A1 Peirce Company maintains company-owned mills at Coos Bay and Myrtle Point, Oregon, with the remanufacturing plant for finish products at Myrtle Point. This wholesale distribution concern receives in excess of 100,000,000 feet of lumber annually at the l-rarbor for retail lumber dealer sales.

Yorbq lindo Yqrd Hif by Fire

Two buildings, a small storage she<l, a large cluantity of stored lumber and valuable equipment were lost in a $20,000 fire at the Yorba Linda Building Materials yard at 18282 E. Imperial Highway, Jan. 6. Aroused by a neighbor, Co-Owner Martson H. Blair found the yard blazing shortly before 4:00 a.m. on the Wednesday morning. Flames were coming from tl.re mill building and a frame warehouse, but Blair ran into the fire and drove out a lumber truck, which escaped with minor damage. lle was unable to remove a fork-lift truck. However, firemen trained a stream of water on it and kept damage to about $500. Most of the lumber stored in the yard, the office ancl store. amounting to $26,000, were saved by the firefighters.

The fire apparently broke out in the frame storage shed but the shed was completely destroyed and it was not possible to discover the cause. Co-owners of the yard are Blair and Ron C. Crary.

Tohoe Deqlers See 1960 Continuing Retqil Boom

A continued bright future for the south end of Lake Tahoe has been predicted by one of the operators of a thriving lumber company whose business volume during 1959 reflected the steady growth of the year-around vacationland. The Nevada Lumber Company, under management of Harold Dayton, Jr. and tr. K. (Speck) Rahbeck, reported at year's end that various phases of their opera- tion showed an increase of up to 50/o during 1959 as compared to the previous year.

Dayton estimated that concrete sales were up that amount over 1958 and that ger.reral sales, including lumber sold, increased [y 25/o over the previous l2-month period.

Various building projects underway during 1959 accounted for increased business for Nevada Lumber. Dayton pointed to the fact that such construction projects as the Tahoe Valley grammar school, Harrah's new multi-milliondollar casino, and the South Tahoe Public Utilities district all accounted for sizable amounts of cement prodncts and lumber.

He said that around 6,000 yards of concrete were used in the new Harrah's building-and also in the sewage disposal plant, and added that construction of new motels and homes in the fast-growing area attributed to the considerable increase in lumber sales.

Among new motels started during the year, Dayton recalled, were the 73-unit Stardust motel, 800 feet from the Nevada state line, as well as improvements and additions to the Cal-Va-Rado motel near Harrah's club at Stateline.

The firm itself reflected the growth of the area during 1959, having completed its fourth remodeling during the l1 years of its operation.

-And during the year there was a change in ownership of the South Tahoe business firm with sale of all stock in the company to tl-re United Lumber Company of Modesto. ^^\"* owners, headed by President John Martin, operate 28 lumber yards in the San Joaquin Valley. United Lumber is a subsidiary of the Winton Lumber Company of Minneapolis, Minn.

. Commenting on the sale, Rahbeck and Dayton said that the move was in keeping with continuous expansion poli-

cies of the firm. They emphasized that Nevada Lumber Company would_ be administered independently of other brrsinesses owned by United Lumber.

The- youthful managers of the booming business believe that the Tahoe area's growth is only bdginning, pointing to a recent statement by an E,l Dorado planning official !ha.t a permanent, year-arouncl population bf SO,OOO would be livir-rg in the Lake Tahoe basin by 1985.

Huff Lumber Compqny Opens New Focility in Sonto Fe Springs

"Our expanded operations department is gearetl to automatiou and our equipment and personnel have been selected for l-righ efficiency and fast handling of inventory to meet the demands of present and future service problems," he co11t1nLleCt.

Our veteran employes will form the cadre for the additional personnel at our new plant, and the complete administration of this new facility will be handled from the home office situated at 116 West 1l6th Street in Los Angeles," said Jerry Huff, chief executive of the Santa Fe Springs division.
