TdtO Visitors Doily for 9 Doys-And No Weqr qnd Teqr

How do you host 7000 people a day for 9 days in a ternporary oneroom "house" r,v'i,thout rebuilding it every night? New factoiy finished building materials proved the answer for Kingsley Lumber Co. and its affiliate building material outlets in their retent portland (Ore.) Home Show display. Photo shows the booth under inspection after 63,000 visitors had scuff-tested the "flexible oak,, floor tile, a new Georgia-Pacific Corp. research development that was a high- light of the unusual display. One waxing per 7000 visitors kept ihe floor like new. And "family proof" factory finishecl wall paneling, also part of the attractive product display, required no maintenanJe despite almost continuous "touch testing" by visitors, Kingsley revealed.

R.eligion

They have killed in this ancient town (Jerusalem). Killed until every alley was flooded with blood. Not a wall in this maze of u'alls but has rung with the dying. Skulls beyond counting have been cracked on these flags; throats unnumbered have been slit in these dark doorways. They've murdered and pillaged and raped in this old town tillit is one Golgotha, one bloody Hill of Skulls. And if you would knou' rvhy you have only to look into the eyes of these hurrying phantoms. Readily they will tell you explicitly. Men have slaughtered and ravished in Jerusalem because they hadreligion. Men have gouged eyes and ripped bellies because they-believed. Believed in what? In God? Hardly. No they have believed only in rnere vocables - Yahrvih. Christ. or Allah: those voiables with which men try to point to God. Strange potency, this thing we call religion. It has made men do barbarities beyond the reaches of credence. For it men have done foulnesses beyond the foulness clone even by beasts. Yet for it also men have done benevolences such as transcend the benevolence of angels. If rnen have killed and died for religion, men have also lived for it. Not merely for it, but by it. That slinking Jew, cowering in the shadows of the archways, sloughs off his terror ancl becomes a king rn'hen he enters his synagogue. His bent sl.roulders straighten, his sagging knees become firm, ancl the blessedness of peace lightens his eyes. That blind Arab beggar, a mere frame of bones hung over with smell'r- rags, becomes a Sultan u'hen he stands in his mosque. He stands there healed of his ailments, he becomes a changecl man, with a vision reaching from his rvorld to paradise. That dark-eyed Syrian girl, poor trull whose lips have caressecl the flesh of twenty races, becomes clean once more wheu she kneels at the feet of the virgin. Strength floods into her tortured bones. Healing comes to her flesh' Strange potency, this thing we call religion. It came into man's world untold centuries ago, and it is still in man's world today. It is still there, deep and tremendous, a mighty draft for a mightier thirst, a vast richness to fill a vaster need. No matter where one turns in time or space, there it is inescapably. Wherever there is a man there seems to be also a spirit or God; wherever there is human life, there is also faith. One rvonders about it. Whence did it come, and where, aud how? Where was it yesterday? What is it today? And what will it become tomorrow?

(Lewis

E. Browne, in This Believing World.)

R. F. Nikkel Lumber Expands Again

R. F. Nikkel Lumber Co., one of the larger rvl-rolesale lumber and millwork organizations in Northern California, recently aclcled a fourth moulding plant to its sales representation, giving the company some 35 cars of moulding and milf ivork production on an exclusive sales representation per month.

Nikkel's newest source of moulding comes from Alpine Lumber Company, Sacramento, with a monthly production of approximately 7 cars of solid pine, white fir and Douglas fir moulding (RL only). In addition to its newest source. Nikkel Lumber is exclusive s4les agent for two plants in Reno, Nevada, ar.rd another plant at Loyalton, California. The two Reno plants specialize in the production of finger- joint and solid pine mouldings, jambs, frames and cut stock. Combined production of the two plants is 15 cars per montl-r and well known lumberman, R. C. Richards, superintends the plants. The Loyalton plant, which is operated bv Feather River Lumber

Co., produces solid pine and white fir mouldings, cut stock jambs, and box shook. Production of this plant is approximately 8 cars per month.

An interesting and aggressive organization since its inception some eight years ago, R. F. Nikkel Lumber Co. now rates as one of the largest wholesale lumber, millwork and specialty firms in Northern California. Between Feather River Lumber Company's two mills at Loyalton and Sloat, California, plus three other Nikkelrepresented mills, the company now handles in excess of 100,000,000 bf of lumber per year on an exclusive sales basis. Moulding production, of course, may be rvorked in shipments of lumber, as may Sheet-Board, a new sheathing product manufactured in Sacramento and now represented by Nikkel Lumber.

The men behind the organization? There's some real power there too. Principally interested in moulding and millwork sales are Neil Hagen and

Woody Ames. Al Forslund, former Hines Lumber buyer is salesmanager. Backing up Al are a group of gents who need little or no introduction to the trade. Active in sales are such well knorvn lumbermen as Bob Bonner, Lloyd Tisdall, Al Lonergan (sales Loyalton), Bog Glatt (sales Newark), and buyer Bill Price.

Hey, wait a minute ! We forgot the owner ! That's Bob Nikkel, former partner in B & M Lumber Company, Sacramento, and author of this whole show for the past eight years.
