Before coming to California in 1940, I was employed by the Foxworth - Galbraith Lumber Company as manager of their yards at Buckeye and Casa Grande, Arizona. In California I was estimator and salesman for the Frank Curran Lumber Company for about 14 years in Santa Ana, Calif. Before coming to Arizona I was with the LongBell Lumber Co. of Kansas City, Missouri, as manager, later worked in their general office in K.C. and was with them seven years. I also managed the Lambert Lumber Co. yard at Monett, Mo., for three years. I put in seven years in the retail lumber business in Idaho. with the Train Lbr. & CoaI Co., The Gem State Lumber Co. and the Boise-Payette Ltrr. Co.

I retired about four years ago after my service with the Frank Curran Co., sold our home in Santa Ana and moved to Arizona last month.

Sincerely yours, William R. Train

The Plus Volues You Get With Foresf TP* Siding

FOREST TP" Siding has been engineered to have maximum time on the job and provide a lifetime of beauty and durability. FOREST TP" Siding is made with tough, long fibers of Douglas fir that are refined, treated and welded together into a smool.h-surfaced panel of great strength. uniformity and toughness. The base board is then tempered to impart greater strength, weatherability and abrasion-resistance.

The superior prime coats on FOREST TP" Siding is applied under rigidly controlled factory conditions. an operation that cannot be duplicated in the field. The prime coat of paint is sprayed on to give you a smooth painting surface for succeeding paint coats.

FOREST TP" Siding is painted on all surfaces. The face and edges of the siding are primed, and the back is sealed.

A light-grey color was selected because all colors of finish coats cover it easily.

The primer is fused on the board in massive ovens at a temperature of 3550 F. The boards are then dried and slip-sheated as they are stacked.

Special care was taken to find the best paint to use as a primer. Extensive tests were conducted both in the Forest Fiber Products Co. laboratory and in the field to select a primer that would be efiective and durable. Painting experts were called in to aid our technical stafi here at Forest Fiber, and tests were run by paint com- panies on the new siding to determine exactly the paint formulation to use.

This superior primer on FOREST TP* Siding will get your painting started right, and allow up to 90 days to put on finish coats of paint.

With FOREST TP* Siding you have a smooth, uniform surface with no grain lines or knots to split and crack. Succeeding coats of paint go on quickly and easily, saving valuable on-site time. It also means a longer lasting paint job because there is no bleeding or checking.

FOREST TP" Siding is easy to maintain. It not only saves you money when you buy it, but also when you apply it, when you paint it, and when you repaint it in the future. It gives you a longer-lasting job that you will be proud of for years to comp.

FOREST TP" Siding has a beveled drip line on each edge so that there is no top or bottom-it can be used either way. This is another engineered feature to make your application easier and faster.

FOREST Hardboard's new siding is engineered to the proper density for exterior siding. It is thoroughly tempered with linseed oil which is baked into the board. The board is then returned to the proper moisture content.

Lumber pressure-treated with Boliden Salt costs only a little more than untreated lumber, yet will last many times longer, even under the

Engineering the siding to the proper density means added advantages to the user. You'll get no dents from your hammer when you nail FOREST TP* Siding. The siding is hard, but not brittle, nails go in and stay seated. Another advantage is the ease in which FOREST TP" Siding can be sawed and machined. Carpenters find that the engineered siding is easy to saw and work with ordinary hand or power woodworking tools.

Forest Fiber's quality control experts keep constant check on production to assure that all siding is of uniform density. Speaking of uniformity, each piece of FOREST TP* Siding is the same thickness because it is planed to precision thickness.

Standardization Debate

end. And again, of course, it was the red hot controversy surrounding our so-called 2x4 and l" board, both of which seem destined to get skimpier than ever.

Meanwhile the dry vs green hattle rages on. Both sides have their points, and both sides have a financial stake in the outcome of the new program. It is our hope, and we feel sure that of the entire industry, that the Subcommittee on Grade Simplification and Standardization and the Chaos Committee can reach a fair and amiable compromise prior to the American Lumber Standards meeting in Washington, D. C., in May. The lumber industry cannot afford to be divided, especially in the face of mounting competition from substitute materials and increasing pressure from Canadian producers.
