New Thinnbcd Ccmcnt Holdr Tilc Frrmly to Any Clcan Surfacc Acorn Thinnbed Tile Cement, a new product for setting clay arrd cerarnic tile by thc tlrin setting berl method, has becn dcveloped and is now bcing nrarkete<l nationally by thc manufacturer, At:orn Adhesives & Supply Co., I.os Angeles, California. It is a combination of a mineral hardener and a liquid bin<lcr rvhich is package<l together an<l job-mixed to form a whitc rvaterprrxrf cemcnt which crystalizes rapi<lly. C. Willcox Cemegys, head of the cornpany which devcloped this ncu' ccment, states his experiencc is that tile u'orkers likc this ncw product because the mixed materials feel and work like the cement to which they are accustomed. 'l'hinnbe<l Cenrent scts hard in any depth-fills irr any irrcgullritics of the llacking an<l c:rn compensate for unevcrtness of tile thickness. This alkrrvs for casy settirrg of tilc-rvct or <lry-which can bc bedded for goo<l light reflcction and straight lines in the usual manncr. It is versatile in that it provides an en<luring lrend to ccmcnt. tilc, llrick, mas()nry, plaster, rvood, 1ll-vrvoorl, wallboarrl, orrlin:rry paints and to anv goo<l clearr surface rvhiclr providcs a tooth. Tile set in Thinnbecl can be grouted with stanclarcl compounds. If the tile is set wet, grouting is done in the usual
manner. If the tile is dry. the grouting conrpound is mixc<l rvith the conrp:rnion product, Thinnbed Birrder, in place of water. It is packed in three container sizes: No. l-for coverage of 20 to 30 sr1. ft. No. 2-100 to 150 sq. ft. No. 4-200 tcr 300 sq ft Iixtra binder or extra hardener (each packaged in trvo sizes) can be purchased separately. Another product, Acorn Waterproof I'rimer, for protecting wood, plaster or any base not resistant to moisture and dampness, is packed in cluarts, gallons and S-gallons pails. In addition to the above products, Acorn Adhesives manufactures a broad line of glues, adhesives and cements for almost every purpose. Complete information, literature and testing samples will be mailed to tile contractors, builders, architects, plant engineers and others interested in this advanced method of tile setting. Address: Acorn Adhesives & Supply Co., 10ll West Eleventh Street, I-os Angeles 15, California.

The Whittlers "The Whittlers" is the title of an interesting story on wood workers at the North American Aviation plant, Los Angeles, printed in the February issue of "Skyline," the quarterly employee publication of the plant' Well illustrated, the story covers many uses of wood in the aircraft industry which an outsider probably wouldn't even dream of. Wooden models are made of new designs, both scale models and full size, so that engineers can check their calculations before the real plane is built. Much of the work requires precision to within a thousandth of an inch in this very exacting branch of the wood working industry.

R.y Sabergon ls Jugt Sta*ing Out In Buginegg A friend-he has them in legionsnret Ray Saberson on the street in St. Paul the other day and said: "Rny, I hear you'rc rctiring from lrusiness." "ltetiring Hell !" said the retloubtablc ltay, "I'm just starting orrt in l>trsiness !" And here, friends and neighbors, is hclrv the play come up, as the fella said. Ilay is the snrall, grcy-baldheaded guy rvh<l not so long since took over the top job for the Order of Hoo-Hoo and put so much rvinr, rvigor, an<l rvitalitv into thc thing that the monlenturn he gave it rvill probably never run down. He's tlre grry rvho has becn pupprng neu, irtcas into the retail lumller lrrerchanrlising lrusincss cvcr sincc they put the rvater into tlre N{ississippi Ilivcr, an<l sccurs never to run out of thcrrr. The entire in<ltrstr_v shorvs the plain rcsults of the merchan<lising thinl<irrg of "The Sabcrson.tt
FIc has bcen Tra<lc l)ronrotion I)cpartnrcnt nurrurgcr for thc Weyerhaeuser Sales C'ompany since Lo thc l,oor Indian was chasing General C'uster along the hea<l u,aters of the l,ittle Big Horn. .{n<l everyone in thc big conll)any testifics to the grand joll he di<!. Rut thel' havc rulcs in tlrat great <lrganization that have to rlo rvith birth<lays rn<l their accumulation, and rvhen a uran h:rs rnarl<ed un a ccrtain nrrmber of those l>irthdays, they retire hinr from activc service, ancl turn him out to grass. So thcv lrre rrorv turning Ray loose to brou'se in plcasarrt pasturcs thc rcst of his life, an<l on April first his reti:enrent frorn thcir cnrployment becomes effective. IJut rvhen they sav retirement. it only nleans from their scrvices. There is no latv he has to quit u'orliing. .\rrd
qrritting is the toughest job of all for a man of Saberson's disposition. He has been in the habit of breakfasting in Tacoma, dinnering in Washington, and calling on various lumber yards and making a series of speecl-res to different
business groups in betrveen. So, rvhen the news got out that he rvas leaving \\/everh:reuser, things happened. First, his tvife just couldn't stand the idea of having the nosey fellorv around the house
trvcnty-four hours a day. She rvould go nuts. Bcsides, he's no good at marketing for the family. He alrvays buys the rvrong things, and to() nruch of thenr. So, therc secmed no call for his services at honrc. In the midst of his dilemma :l guy named J. R. Itandall, I'resident of Reservc Supply Llonrl)any, came along an<l offered him a joll. ;\ u'hale of ir grxl<l job, trxr. So "hc taken it" as thcy sa.r. in Iiast 'l'exas, and he goes to rvork at it April first. He is g<ling to become Manager of the Merchan<lising l)cllartment for Iteserve Supply Conrpany, of St. I'aul, Ilinncsota. This conccrn started business in 192(r. rvarehousing and distrilluting in less than carkra<l lots :rll sorts of lluilding material other than lumber and rvood shinglcs. It has beklnged to a lot of rctail lumllcr c()nccrtls from the lirst, and still <loes. Today tlris eoncern belongs to-325 Itrrrrlrcr conrll:rrrics rvho orvtt an<l opcrate rnore tharr 14.50 retail lumbcr var<ls. Its llusiness is to carr-r' irr stocl< grc:tt <luantities of building matcrials, warelrouse thcnr. and sullply them to its mcmbcr yar<ls irr less-thau-carkratl quantitics, thus rnaking it utrncccssary for the indivi<lual var<ls to carry such expcnse, and giving thern the llenefit of rcad;scrvice from largc stocl<s of alnrost any rnaterials they rvarrt for their trade. The have been doing this for rrearly 2.5 1'ears 111;1v, growirrg all the time, enlarging their plant capacitl', and fttrnishing a varied line of building matcrials from lleservc's rescrve stocks. Norv they ltlan to branch out, lty going into thc merchandising business as rvell as the supply. Saber:urn is going to be liason man betrveen an army of suppliers :ur<l thc yar<ls thcmselves, putting a skilled merchandising clfort behind all Reservc rlraterials. To not only supplv thcir yards n'ith a great variety of building materials, but to hclp them sell, rvill be Saberson's job. It looks from the roacl like a whale of a big job, an<l Saberson seems to fit it like a lady's glove. It u'ill be interesting to watch his smoke, for it is a new departrnent irr a huge business, with a great opportunity to shorv his skill. This journal proclaims a sky-high opinion of the "little man who wouldn't quit," and will keep an eye o11 hin-r in the future as it has done for many, many vears. "Go rvith God," as thev sav South of the llorder.

Be q Dreoer
Don't be afraid to dream about your burinegc. Don't bc too busy to try and look at it from new anglee, in new lights, through difrerent lenses. No business evcf progresses except through dreamers. If it wcrc not for the dreamers of the world we would still bc living in cavet, dressed in the skine of wild beaste, eating raw meat, and knowing no God. All the credit for the continual march of human progress belongs to dreamers.
Prcyer
God, though this life is but a wraith,
Although we know not what we use, Although \rle grope $'ith little faith, Give me the heart to fight-and lose. Ever insurgent let me be, Make me more daring than devout, From sleep contentment keep me free, And fill me with a buoyant doubt. Open my eyes to visions girt
With beauty-and with wonder litBut let me always see the dirt, And all the spawn that lie in it. From compromise, and things half done, Keep me with storm and stubborn pride; And when, at last, the fight is won, God, keep me stiu unsa,illil;_.r.,
Eqsy Enough It's eaey enough to be grouchy, Whcn cverything gocs dead wrong; But the man who can Ewear When he's walking on air, Is thc man whom I eing in this song. It's easy enough to be grumpY, When life ecemg a8 gay ae a hearse, But the man who will bleat When his luck is complete Is the theme of this rollicking verse. It's easy enough to be gloomy, When dismal, and doleful, and downed, But the guy who will yell When he's wealthy and well, Should be tied to a boulder-and drowned.
What Price Glory? The late Dexter Fellows, press agent for the combined Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circuses, was one of the great publicity men of his day, and a profound believer in the goods he had to sell. One day he walked into the office of the City Editor of a big newspaper, and said: "I'm Dexter Fellows, of the circus, and I've brought you some good news releases." "What circus?" asked the City Editor.
A Diplomat . A diplomat is a gentleman who can tell a lie in such a
Fellows stared at him in disbelief. He said: "Great Heavens, friend, I'll bet if you were in England and heard someone singing 'God Save the King,' you'd stop him and ask 'Which King?"'
manner to another gentleman (also a diplomat) that the second gentleman is compelled to let on that he really believes the first gentleman, although he. knows that the first gentleman is a liar, and knows that the first gentleman knows that he (the second gentleman) doesn't believe him.
Retort Uncourteous The satirical Samuel Johnson, of British fame, was an expert at clever but cutting remarks. A lady complained
Dirty
"Whenever I find myself in the dumps," said Mrs. Gushwell, "I buy myself a new hat." "That," said Mrs. Toughie, "answers a question I have often heard asked; where you get them."
Four Out OI Five Have It And you will walk beneath the trees, Wondering then as now, Why he that once has kissed your lips, Will only kiss your brow.
Middle Ase
"Middle age," said the Bhilosopher, "is that time of life when a man would rather miss a good time than have to recover from one."
to him that she did not understand rvhy, but whenever she visited London her fingernails got unusually dirty, and, knowing her to be the author of some very off-colored literature, Johnson replied: "Perhaps, Madam, you scratch yourself."
Better This Way The famous Chicago criminal lawyer, Clarence Darrow, was introduced by a mutual friend to a gentleman who greatly admired Darrow, and was most anxious to hold conversation with him. Said the man: "Ah, Mr. Darrow, I sympathize with you greatly. I feel sure that you have suffered much throughout your life by being misunderstood." Darrow smiled. "Not near as much," he said, "as I would have suffered had I been understood."

eled in Curly Itcdrvood and has a lllend-tex plank ceiling,
while the smaller room,72'x16y', has Woodgrain Sheet-rock paneling. I)arquet flooring is featured in b<lth rooms and louvered doors and blinds, manufactured by the Paul C. Heinley Co. of Santa Monica, add a note of distinction to the offices.
The John \\'. Fisher Lurnber Co., of Santa Monica, which recently completed an extensive expansion program, has found that two of their innovations have met with the wholeheir,rted approval of their customers. The new conference rooms pictured here, are geting a large
play frorn contractors and home builders. These two rooms not only have a great deal of eye-appeal, they are also proving to be extremely workable-being in use four and five nights a week for building conferences. The larger of the two rooms, 20'x20', is beautifully pan-
The second Fisher innovation that is proving extremely popular is the method of displaying hardwood paneling. No longer must potential custorners browse through a srnall sample book-Fisher's has all kincls of hardwood paneling on the walls of the offices. The front office, for instance, is Ashrun to detail. Armstrong Cushion tile is on the ceiling. The bool<keeping department is a silent salesman for "Shadowood" Fir. Tyle Board is featured in one of the bathrooms. One hallway has Masonite Leatherwood paneling and vertical Celotex plank walls. Every wall at Fisher's has been put to work and the results have been most satisfactory. President Tom Fox reports that it's too early to show perccntage increases in business but that the trend is definitely upward since the renovation.
