.**rf f can't help wondering what Mr. Pip would do if he were obliged to visit and study every exhibit booth at a 1941 retail lumber convention. He would either become converted to the beliefs of Mr. Pep, or he would do like the old story of the chameleon that the colored brother told. He said: "I puts dis heah chameleon on a red cloth, an' he turned red; I puts him on a green cloth, an'he turns green; I puts him on a yellah cloth, an' he turns yellah; den I puts him on a piece o' Scotch plaid an' he jus' busted hissef wide open tryin' t'make good." That's about what Mr. Pip would do if he visited a live lumber convention today, and saw the exhibits.
