How to Attract Tourist Trade

Hou' to attract tourist tracle : Choose a location such as heavily-traveled Road 101 betrveen Los Angeles and San Diego on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, a mile north of Leucadia.

Name the place after a ur-rir-ersally-knorvn, easily-dramatized place, like Noah's Ark.

Catch the eyes of tourists n'ith a compelling display, like life-size animals of the ark: Gorilla, ostrict, hippopotamus, zebra and camel, cut out of l{asonite Tempered Presdrvood and realistically painted.

Whitc Brothers Installins Third Dry Kiln

To properly season these many varieties of hardwood lumber, a double track and later a single track Moore CrossCirculation kiln employing 60-inch diameter fans located above the loads of lumber rvas installed. These trvo kilns are only 36-feet long but have a holding capacity of 60,000 feet and produce an exceptional amount of lumber dried to specific and exacting requirements. To season special orders a third Cross-Circulation kiln 24 feet long designed to hold only one load of lumber is norv.being installed. Trvo White Brothers' men. Charles B. White and Esmond A. Follett, have been trained by the Forest Products Laboratory of NIadison, \\risconsin, to use these kilns to their full capacities and under this supervision the kilns are operated by Leo \\'offord and Ralph Gleason.

A gas fired steam boiler is used to furnish heat to the kilns and as both kilns are equipped rvith Nfoore Kiln tem' perature and humidity recorder controllers and automatic fan reversal equipment, the drying operation is as automatic as is possible to obtain.

lano Beach, some six years ago. They've been beckoning southbound motorists ever since-from a distance of better than a half mile. There's been virtually no maintenance expense on the zoo cutouts.

Business has been good. Mr. Barker says that a bit of historical dramatics is a first-rate business-attracter. Folks are always looking for something unusual, and rvhen they spot it, they stop for a look-and leave some business, of course.
