l'ifteen years ago when F red Thomson founded Inland Lumber Company in the Anaheim-Tustin area a definite policy of sales promotion was established. "We decided we should be the dealers supplier-never his competitor and that deflnite policy has been one of the reasons for our steady growth," he said. "We maintain buying offices at the source of supply and our service organization of more than fifty employees is dedicated to help the retail lumber dea.ler secure the products he needs for his customers, including those 'hard to get' and highly specified items," he continued. "We represent some of the flnest mills in the west and carry approximately a half a million dollar inventory at all times in our modern wholesale concentration yard." Through its ethical policy of sales distribution and high standards of products this aggressive organization has become one of the leaders in its field during the past 15 years.

Los Cruces, New Mexico Wins Acre of Trees

Las Cruces, New Mexico has won an acre of trees.

Approximately 600 small Douglas fir trees-enough to fully plant an acre-were presented to Southwest Builders, Inc., of Las Cruces, by Simpson Timber Compa.ny of Seattle, Washington.

The presentation was made during the 17th annual convention and exposition of the National Association of Home Builders here in Chicago.

The winning ticket was registered by Mrs. Nellruth Isaacks, secretary-treasurer of Southwest Builders, Inc., and also secretarytreasurer of the Las Cruces chapter of the NAHB. Seaborn P. Collins, director of the NAHB and past National Commander of the American Legion, is president of the home building firm.

Both Mrs. Isaacks and Mr. Collins were elated upon hearing they had won the trees for their hornetown. "I feel this is meeting a need in our 'Land of Enchantment' which is a treeless country," Mrs. Isaacks said.

Representatives of Southwest Builders and Slmpson Timber Company are expected to present the trees formally to the mayor of Las Cruces sometime in mid-F ebruary.

The small trees are typical of those planted by Simpson each year to help reforest harvested areas. Douglas fir trees reach a height of 200 feet or more and have been known to yield as much as 25,000 board feet of lumber.
