CATIFOTN'A IUMBIR MERCHANT

BY JACK DIONNE Printing was discovered in I44L It might be truly said that the world reallv began to live with the coming of printing. Up to that time the past was a vast) misty cemetery with scarcely an epitaph. The ideas that human brains had generated mostly perished rvith the minds that produced them. The lips of the human race had been open, but their recordings had been sealed and lost. Printing came and gave recordings and opinions to human

It preserved ideas. It registered words. It became possible for the first time for a man to bequeath to the future the riches of his brain and the wealth of his soul. When people began to read, they began to reason. And when reasoning began, progress commenced. An entirely new world was ushered in by printing. Things printed can never be stopped. They are like babies newborn. Their souls go on forever. .v..

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is universally acclaimed today to be one of the greatest utterances that ever fell from the lips of a man. l-et, we are told, when he delivered it. it made little impression. The exalting inspiration that comes to you even today as you read over those eternal words in cold print, was lacking to the minds oI that crowd that heard Lincoln deliver it. There was no thrilled audience that listened enthralled, knowing that what the.v were hearing would become immortal. They were not deeply moved, so we are told. One of the all-time masterpieces of human thought and utterance had touched their ears and their sensesbut they knew it not. lt was only after the words had been printed and distributed that their immeasurable grandeur soared toward the sky, and the glory shone through. Had it never been printed, it would have died a-borning, would that miracle of word and thought. It took printing to give it to the world--and keep it there

work produced on this press was the "Freeman's Oath," and the first entire book printed on it in English was the "Bay Psalm Book." This lamous press still exists, and was used for the design of the three cent stamp printed in 1939 commemorating the threehundredth anniversary of printing in America. The first American newspaper rvas the "Hartford Courant." established by James Franklin, half-brother of the younger Ben Franklin. Ben Iearned printing from James, and later established his own paper, the "Pennsylvania Gazette," in Philadelphia. Later on the fanrous liberal. 'fhomas Paine. was editor of the Gazette.

When he told his age, the insurance man would, of course, back away. He was too old. he would declare. What difference did that make, the old man wanted to knolv. "You are too likely to die," the insurance man would explain. The old gentleman would sa,v: "1{ I were 25 vears old you'd sell me insurance, wouldn't you?" And when the insurance man admitted that he would, the old man would drive home his clinching argument-He would say: "Young man, didn't it ever occur to you that a hell of a lot more men die at the age of 25 than at the age of 85?"

The typical wholesaler maintains contact - and working knowledge of a well-rounded supplier corps, mills in the South, the West, the North-wherbver an ideal source for a product which has a demand in his market area. An inquiry from a retailer means the wholesaler can provide an answer in one

of several ways:

Risks

Risk.relief "by the carload" is what a lumber-wholesaler offers to buying customers. When the wholesaler takes title to a

shipment from a mill, he becomes a complete partner in the transaction between all three parties, assuming a great share of the risks involved in the marketine of the product.

Among these risks are:

I. That the retail yard purchasing the shipment can and will pay for it.

2. That the quality of the stock will be satisfactory.

3. That the mill will ship on time.

4. That the correct lumber sizes and grades will be loaded.

Organized to assume such risks, the wholesaler has to allow for them in his everyday doing of business. By his position, he is able to make allowances retailers would find difrcult to duplicate. One

of his best protections is his flexibility-if a mill fails to perform, he can transfer his order to another one or several of them.

In the end. the retailer still receives the

order he placed, oftea without realizing the complex transactions which preceded its delivery.

Finoncing

, Natimal.Aueriesr' Vholeale l,umber Association members carried more than $13I million in accounts receivable on any given day during 1962. Their ability and willingness to finance the tremendous lumber distribution system has been a powerful but unsung prop in lumber's fight to hold its place in the modern building materials field.

The retail yard pays the wholesaler after the shipment is safely received. The period between ordering and reaching the market, sometimes lengthy because of complexities in production and transportation, is financially bridged by the wholesaler who commonly borrows capital to support the huge

dollar requirements involved. If a retail yard needs extra time to pay, the wholesaler will sometimes go along after thorough investigation of the extended risk.

This gives the dealer access to financing not available through banks and other institutions.

Wholesaler financing in lumber, perhaps

one of the most important functions, has been likened to "applying oil to the wheels of distribution." With this financial bridge removed, the wheels certainly would squeak loudly and often and in many cases might not turn at all.

Credit

By its nature, lumber remains one of

o'personal" of all America's industhe most trial institutions. And when personal aspects enter business operations, values applied differ from those used where hard business facts and figures dictate every move. This is especially true when credit is involved.

s. F. Club's Second Annual Standards Panel HARDLY seems possiblt'. l,ut an enlire rfT vear has slil,ped by since San Francis,'o Hoo-Hoo Club 9 staged its first meeting on the current lumber size standards dispute.

And as lhe second annual program o,r th" standards issue unfolded at the Leopard Cafe on March 3, even a casual olrserver would have lieen impressed by the small amount of progress which has made since the first meeting a year earlier.

A dinner meeting, the standards meeting

was held on the eve o{ the hiq Western Pine Associal-ion corrrcntion uptoun at tht' St. Francis Hotel. Special invitations were sent out, and accepted, by several N'PA delegates as a result. Don Andrews of

the nret.ting. as was John Mares, salt'smanager of Whiting Bros. Land & Timber, Eagcr, Arizona.

An excellent panel o{ industry leader'-.

T. Larson, president of Larson Lumber, Philomath, Oregon.

A special treat was the testimony of Ed Schulhauser, chief design engineer of Standard Building Company. one of San Francisco's "hig three" builders. Although Schulhauser looked upon the concept of engineered lumber favorably. he also erpressed doubt as to whetht.r the builder could absorb the extra cost of dry lumber.

information leadin$ to the whereabouts of the PURPLE HAT GANG

We can't find them.

They're a slick bunch all right.

Always call in orders from pay telephones. Can't trace'em. Here's

some information to

makeyourjob easier. Ted "DELIVERITNOW" Deacy is the leader

of this bunch. This guy is tough. Has to be to boss the likes of "GOGETEM" Goetze, Sully "SAVEMORE" Sullivan, "READY" Richey, "PAINLESS"

Petrash, and Freeman "QUALITY" Campbell These guys just won't take no for an answer. They remember what happened to their old salesmanager Red Wood. They know what'll happen if they refuse an order. So don't be afraid, order right up. TelI'em you want Redwood and you want itnou.

They'll fork it over. "DELIVERITNOW" Deacy will see to that. And don't worry about recognizing this gang. It's easy. Their trademark is the purple hat' They wear them on every job. Hey, here's an idea.

Rather than make them suspicious, place an order as soon as you see them. Then contact us. We want to give 'em their commission checks.

I{ere are a few other identifying traits. They pride themselves in being able to get your order delivered within 48 hours. Often sooner. They seldom talk about anything other than that and the fact that they have an inventory of over 4.5 million board feet of redwood, all sizes and types. It boils down to this: If you see one of the guys in this picture, and he's wearing a purple hard-hat, and he talks about nothing but fast delivery and gigantic inventories, and he won't take no for an answer, and he's as likeable as the dickens, there's a better than even chance he's a member of the purple hat gang' You'll find him rewarding.

By a careful arrangement of the kitchen cabinets, there is access to both the garage and the rear yard and yet there are

no cabinet corners which are so inefficient and hard to properly utilize. The distinctive and generous sized eating bar, a roomy pantry and the latest built-ins are the outstanding features of this all-purpose kitchen-{amily room.

The spacious living roorn with i* wide fireplace and sliding glass doors opening to the patio and rear yard is really a house-

The striking contemporary exterior design is enhanced by the stone veneer and planter together with wide glass panels at the front wall of the garage. Board-on-board siding on the front wall of the bedroom continues as a screen in front of the bath.

For an entirely difierent design, consider rotating the home 90 degrees clockwise and switching the location of the fireplace and sliding glass doors.

ls New Nome for DFPA

ATDtr E' L

NAME of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association has been THE r changed to American Plywood Association.

An announcing the action, the board of directors said the new name reflects growth and progress in the industry. The name change required a vote of association membership: the vote was more than 9O/o Ior a change.

'YI

While the structural plywood industry in the United States historically is based on Douglas Fir, the industry now manufactures plywood from 23 species which can carry the association's grade-trademark. According to James R. Turnbull, executive vice president of the plywood association, o'The name Douglas Fir hasn't fit us for years. Now, with the emergence of association grade-trademarked Southern Pine plywood the words, 'Douglas Fir' don't even describe the right geographic region anymore.

We've simply outgrown our old name."

ril ERt EAlr PLYWE OD ISSO EtATtOll The new name for Douglas Fir Plywood Association.

Ouality-tested by the Division For Product Approval.

THE CHAI{GE 0F I{AME from Douglas Fir Plywood Association to American Plywood Association includes this new trademark. Note that DFPA remains in trademark and now means Division For Product Approval.

Another prime consideration in the decision to change names: the association in the last year has become heavily involved in the export market for plywood and the name ooAmerican Plywood Association" has much more significance in overseas markets

than does o'Douglas Fir." While the name has been changed, it still is correct to specify DFPA plywood: The initials now stand for American Plywood Association's o'Division For Product Approval." By retaining the initials the Association hopes to minimize confusion in the marketplace and to retain the good will it has established for those initials through $50 million in research and promotion.

According to Turnbull, the name change became official as of April 1. However, there will be a lot of loose ends to clear up before the sn'itch is complete. Among other things, the association has an inventory of more than 3 million individual pieces of technical and promotional Iiterature that will be used up (pro,b-

ably within 12 months) before reprints with the new name are put into circulation. And, it will take time to have the new name

entered in code ofiices, FHA offices, telephone books and other places. oolt's a little like an individual going back, after 25 years, to change the spelling of his name on every contract, check or letter he ever signed," Turnbull said. "Only with a corporation or association it's tougher because during those 25 years the industry has made an intense effort to 'sign' its name as many times as possible."

DIVI,SION OF HITL LUMBER & HARDWARE LumberJocket Bullelin Cost savings possible by shipping and storing KD dimension lumber wrapped in the new reinforced paper/plastic wrap called "Lumber-Jacketo' are presented in a bulletin from American Sisalkraft of Attle' boro, Mass.

Lumber-Jacket wrap is described as a combination of reinforced Sisalkraft and polyethylene plastic film with extra pad' rlirg at the point where the eilges of the lumber stack cause wear of the wrap.

Chief advantages of shipping lumber on open flatcars are reported to be time and

labor savings of up to 9O/o in lumber

dealers' handling costs, made possible by

the use of mechanical lift equipment, and

the use of low-cost outdoor yard space where lumber can now be completely protected at less than half the cost per square foot compared to indoor storage.

Copies of the Lumber-Jacket Bulletin B-10 are available from Dept. 81-LJ, Amer-

ican Sisalkraft, Attleboro, Massachusetts.

NWMA 37th Annuql Meeting National Woodwork Manufacturers Association met in Chicago

in February for the association's 37th Annual Meeting.

A panel discussion on o'How Millwork Marketing Methods Can Be Improved" were unanimous in their feeling thai wood product manufacturers should develop a "get tough" policy and begin pointing out the disadvantages of competitive materials used for windows and doors. It was suggested that all wood industry groups unite in their efforts to promote wood products. They should meet the exaggerated claims used by manufactures of competitive materials o'head,-on" with a hard hitting advertising campaign.

By a hear-y schedulc o[ full page two color newspaper ads and sixt.v sccond television spot announcements in

Alone this line. the WPA Advertisine and Promotion Committee $,as qranted a 1964 l,udset of $f.0't5.000. This is an increase of $aS,0b0 over last y"u. un.l the largest promotion budget ev,-r approved by the association.

A $:140,000 advertising campaign was approvetl together with a substantial increase in the association's Product Pulrlicity actilities. For the third straight vear. ['PA will sponsor market research studies designed to provide guided direction to the advcrtising, promotion. and publicitv programs.

No action was taken by directors on a proposal to adopt ncl' dry and green sizes {or lraming lumber. All recommendatiol.rs rvere referred to the Western Wood Products Study Committee for consideration. However. one and one-half inch dry framing lumber can lie manufactured in the WPA region, though it must lit' marked as to size in conformance with American Lumher Standards.

WPA meml,er-q approved an amendment to grading rules that will continue dry surfaced rvidths for selects and boards at lhreeeighth inch scant of nominal in five inch and narrower stock. but changing to one-half inch -"cant of nominal in six-inch and wider material. This action standardizes widths of these items with framing lumber and with the same material being manufactured in the coastal region. and t.onforms to American Lumber Standard sizes.

Rounding out the sessions, Al Agather of St. Regis Paper Company, Libby, Mont., was re-nominated on the ALS committee, and W. E. Griffee, WPA secretary-manager. named as his alternate.

Cost of the plant was estimated to be $5 million. The l7.5 acre deep water site was leased from the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners.

Net Profit Workshop The Lumber Merchants Association conducted a one-day Art Hood workshop at the Cabana Motor Hotel in Palo Alto, the theme of the meeting being o'The Mathematics of Net Profit Control." As anyone who has seen the Old Master perform will confirm, Art Hood is a leader in the field of retail building materials merchandising, his classes having pointed the way to

to more and more California dealers and distributors. For year around supplies of dimension lumber and precision-trimmed studs, depend on D & R and these 4 Oregon and Washington mills:

+ 4 + +

Old Growth Fir Dimension from F.S,P. Lumber Co., Port Orford, Oregon

Hemlock Studs from Warrenton Lumber Co., Warrenton, Oregon

Hemlock Dimension from Westport Lumber Co., Westport, Oregon

Douglas Fir Studs from Shepherd & Dasher Lumber Co., Longview, Wash,

better business management to hundreds of western dealers who have attended his workshops.

Just one phase of the varied activities of LMA, Hood's February 24th workshop covered numerous internal problems affecting retail building materials dealers today-the increase of discount solling, intensified price competition, outside competitors hauling into local markets, rising costs, and a net profit squeeze which has never before been equaled.

As a result, association management points out that since the late 40's profits have declined,75% Irom 5.51/o on sales and 15.14% on net worth before taxes to L54/o on sales and 4.9I% on net worth. It is also reported that 4 out of I0 dealers today are operating without profit or at a loss-as against l6/a in 1950, an increase of SOOoio.

The moment of truth is here. That's why it is imperative for western dealers to lend their support to their associations and endeavor to exchange ideas with others within their industry and help make the retail building materials business a profitable venture for one and all. If dealers are unable to understand each other, how can they poeeibly begin to combat the many and growing outside pressures facing the industry today.

The Lumber Merchants Association will hold its 24th annual convention at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite, April 19-21, and it is anticipated that several hundred northern California dealers

will take two days ofi from their own business with the idea of helping to improve industry conditions in general.

Fast, regular ocean shipments by barge from Southern Oregon and the Columbia River direct

to Southern California.

Now, over 5,000,000 feet ol dimension lumber and studs monthly . . . manufactured especially for Southern California construction needs.

Art Neth would appreciate an opportunity to tell you how you and your customers will benefit from using dependable D & R dimension and studs.

You can reach him by calling TRiangle 3-2668 or STate 3-0544.

Pocific Wood Products

Hos lmproved Process Pacific Wood Products describes as superior its new prefinishing process for its line of Philippine-manufactured interior plywood paneling.

Already in use for current production, the process features new techniques for sealing and sizing, plus application of three-coats of ,baked-in resins to assure superior resistance to heat, staining and moisture.

According to Jack Davidson, PWP president, this development "represents a sig-

nificant achievement by the Philippine

production personnel associated with us, and gives us what we believe is the finest finish on the market."

The PWP interior paneling line includes the recently introduced Tempo-8, a distinctive square-grooved paneling faced with six equal widths of subtly mismatched veneer, Random-Plank, a V-grooved paneling faeed with six random-width strips of mis-

matched veneer and Islander, a ganggrooved prefinished paneling. Random-

Plank and Tempo-8 are available in three, richly natural colors-Champagne, Nut-

meg, and Madera-all beautifully complemented with grooves prefinished in contrastine brown.

Pacific Wood Products Compa.ny is represented by, a nationwide sales organiza' tion and has offices in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Manila, Hong Kong, Taipei, Zurich, Houston, Chicago and New York.

FHA Plynrood Requirements Excerpled in New Booklet Builders and specifiers of plywood will be brought up to date on the changes in FHA requirements made for plywood since 1959 with the publication of "Plywood Ex' cerpts from the Minimum Property Stand' ards" by the Douglas Fir Plywood fuso' ciation.

The FHA has released its first general revision since 1959, listing official changes made since then in building requirements.

Plywood excerpts from tlat revision and

from a later interim revision will be included in the DFPA publication.

In rnost cases, DFPA had achieved an understanding with the FHA on these points during the period from July, 1959. How' ever, this is the first time since 1959 that most of the changes have been officially published by the FHA for general distribution to their field offices.

Twelve changes in requirements for plywood are listed in DFPA's booklet of excerpts.

where plywood underlayment is installed over plywood or board subfloors or where tongue and groove strip flooring is installed over plywood subfloors.

the TYood Information Bureau.

We have high hopes for this new approaeh to cooperative

promotion of lumber and wood

We have- a long way to go, not only with the general public but especially ivith lumbermen to sell the many advantages of wood.

With your help maybe we can

lumber storage trees; wood siding in place of stucco and aluminum. Maybe we can learn to sell wood decking for insulation value, wood. paneling instead of sfirceo end r*ltpaper tor ease

of maintenance and greater beauty, heavy timber construction for g3eater fire safety and

earthquake resistance in schools and commercial buildings.
