How Lumber Looks

Crow's Lumber Price Index took another upward jump April 4, with the industry average up 67 cents and the green nr makrng the biggest increase since last September; no change in dry fir. With the market moving along on a plateau, studs (2x4, 8') showed the most strength in green fir, with plank and timbers also strong. In Ponderosa pine, the No. 3 common 7Z-inch boards still led in mar-ket strength. Dry white fir dimension (framing lumber) went ahead pricewise to account for much of the rise in the pine portion.

NLMA. Output was 4/o below January and 1l 1956; February shipments were 5/o and orders 1956; sh :y and, ll/o below February d orders i7o below lanuary. 56; i% below January.

The place is Davis, California, a rather small but bustling community; its principal industry, agriculture and education (University of California-School of Agriculture). The man in the limelight is Don Anderson-an affable, energetic and intelligent young man busily readying his neu'ly remodeled shorvroom for the big March 2 grand opening. Anderson is going about his preparations with the confidence of an "old pro"-and he is, in a sense, thanks to a thorough education in business management both at the University of California and the Universal School of Hard Knocks.

The business is Davis Lumber Company-a branch of Auburn Lumber Company (CLM, L2/L/56)-a company with a tap root extending sorne 75 vears down through the soil of the community.

Take these three factors-Davis, Don Anderson and l)avis Lumber Company-and you've got one of the best combinations since tl-re first wiener was introduced to the bun. And, as a matter of fact, long before the hot dog r,vas invented, say shortly'after I'resident Garfield died in office, the original owner of this yard rvas doing business in this very same spot !

Davis Lumber Company's predecessor, Morrisson Lnmber Company, was started sometin.re in the early 1880's by W. H. l\{orrisson. Efforts to peg the exact starting date have been unsuccessful but, on an old fire map which Don Anderson found back in a corner of Davis Lumber's massive old safe, Morrisson Lumber Company shorved up as one of the community's leading businesses and was locatecl at the same spot no\\, occupied by Davis Lumber Company. The map in cluestion is dated 1891, and it is apparent that Morrisson Lumber had beer-r there for some time even then. It is also interesting to note that Davis was then knor,vn as

Co. "Davisr.ille" and that the nou' "dry" college community then sported no less than l1 saloons!

A fet'years before Auburn Lumber Company purchased the assets of Nlorrisson I-umber Company-onFebruary 24, 1922-Don Anderson's father, A. G. Anderson, lvas developing a harcln'are business on the main street a block a'rvay from the lumber company. It rvas in this business that Don Anderson first learned the elements of merchandising, selling. bookkeeping and business management.

Follou,ing Auburn Lumber's purchase of Nforrrsson Lumber Company, the name of the business was changed to Davis Lumber Company and E,. S. McBride rvas installed as manager. Both Da'rris I-umber and Mr. Anderson's hardu'are business boomed along during the post-rvar days; they both

struggled through the bleak depression period and continued to grow in spite of it. Shortly before the senior Anderson's death in 1937, both Manager McBride and Anderson decided that they each had something the other could use. Anderson's hardware business was the only place in town where people could get a general line of hardware and hoirsewares. Davis Lumber, in turn, carried the lumber and building materials to build and maintain these homes.

The merger, while not quite as attention-getting as some of the more recent Wall Street situations, was in its own right just as effective and successful. Don, who had been attending the University of California at Davis during 1935 and 1936, and U. C. at Berkeley during Spring of '37, quit school following his father's death and, together with his mother, Mrs. Essie Anderson, helped run the new general hardware-houseware division of Davis Lumber Company.

As World War II became imminent, Don enlisted in the Army Air Corps and served as a pilot throughout the war. He was mustered out in 1946 and decided to finish his schooling at U. C. in Berkeley before returning to the business world. He graduated with a B.S. degree in accounting in 1947 and immediately put his degree to work as auditor for Auburn Lumber Company and its associated companies. Anderson remained at Auburn until October 1953, at which time he was named manager of Davis Lumber, replacing E. S. McBride who was entering retirement. Mr. McBride's well-deserved retirement was altogether too short; he died the following year.

The recent grand opening on March 2, which was staged by Davis Lumber Company to celebrate the firmrs modernized showroom, did not particularly mark a big transition in the operation. More explicitly, the celebration was just anoth€r phase in the company's continuous efforts to keep abreast of the times.

Anderson, being accounting-minded as well as quick to adapt new ideas-both his own and those of others-puts these ideas to work pronto. But these ideas are adapted with increased profits-not increased volume-in mind.

"We go after all types of business tooth and nail," Anderson states, "but at the same time, we don't lose track of why we're going out after it. After all, it isn't volume that keeps the doors open-it's profit."

There are four separate departments within Davis Lumber Company: Paints and Wallpaper, Hardware, Houseware and Lumber. Clerks in charge of these departments do their own buying and reordering of inventory. In addition, they write their own advertising copy and are also personally responsible for the credit they extend.

Credit? fn recent years Davis Lumber's credit losses have beeh averaging less than I of. lo/o! This record has been achieved by a sensible and careful-but not overly stringent-handling of credit sales.

Those desiring. an open account need only fill out a credit application-the usual questions and ,.neferences. Then, while the customer is still in the store, this application is processed by a girl in the back office. She determines the customer's rating with the local credit bureau, with local references he has listed and with the banks.

Total time elapsed? Generally less than 15 minutes (during wh.ich the customer has usually been browsing

BY JACK DIONNE

Europe and Asia and Africa are infested with political situations of tremendous possibilities and dangers.

The old song, "l oidrr't*n;*;, Boy to Be a Soldier," is seldom sung anymore in this once peac€ful world. {< * rNr

Here in the U.S. good and courageous-rnen are dedicating and directing their energy and intelligence to trying to steer our nation through'the world's troubled waters.

Not in our history have more difficult situations and conditions arisen. It is time for cooperation; a time when every good citizen will "lend a hand" to those men to whom we have entrusted the terrific responsibility of steering this nation through the dangers that beset us. If ever there was a time for prayer-THls IS IT.

Time was when some dangerous situation developed in Europe that could lead to war, it was widely proclaimed in the press as "a powder keg." But they only developed occasionally rt*

Today the title could be applied to literally dozens of political situations in Europe, Asia and Africa. "Powder Kegs" are a dime a dozen in the world today. And new ones bieak out overnight. The whole doggoned world has developed into a 'lpowder keg." Not a pleasant t&ring to contemplate.

That great oSce,r and public servant, J. Edgar floover, warns us on frequent, occasions that Communism is unchanged in its ambitions, both here and abroad. And Mr. Hoover isn't just guessing. He knows. ***

On our ramparts, the sentries like Mr. Hoover warn us of the continuing danger, because today in this land, as it has been for generations in Europe, the answer to the sentries' challenge is still-Russia. ***

About the only satisfaction we can find in the situation ib in the fact that we kndw wlrere our danger lies, and from whom. There is no secret about it any more, if there ever was.

That this is still "the land of the free and the home of the brave," we thank God. And keeping it free is the foremost ambition and the biggest job that faces this "home of the brave."

A kindly faced little Italian was standing on a street corner near the city market on a S,aturday evening, waiting for a street car. His arms were piled high with bundles, so that he could hardly move a finger. One of the bundles slipped from its place on top of the pile and fell to the ground and the little man was trying to figure some way to pick it up

without dropping the other bundles. A gentleman, seeing his dilemma, picked the bundle up and put it back in its place in the little Italian's arms. There was perfect gratitude in the little man's expression as he said:

"I tanka you, sir."

The gentleman r,eplied: "Don't mention it."

The little fellow looked rather puzzled, then smiled. He said:

"Alla righta, my frand; if you donta wanta me to, Tonv donta tell NObody."

Charging that proposed increases of 15 and, l7/o in freight rates on lumber and building materials would be self-defeating and would cause a further reduction in construction volume, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has filed statements officially opposing the increase asked by eastern and western railroads. The statements, filed before the Interstate Commerce Commission by NRLDA on behalf of itself, its 33 federated associations and the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association were prepared with the assistance of Miles Colean, construction economist; Byron M. Gray, attorney of Topeka, Kans., and John H. Else, NRLDA's national affairs counsel.

A statement to the Cornmission signed by H. R. Northup, the NRLDA executive vice-president, states:

"The retail lumber and building materials dealer is the final link in the chain of distribution of lumber and building materials fbr most types of construction, whether it be for commercial , farm, home building, or the repair and maintenance activities of America's home owners.

"For the first time in over 2O years, this Association has found it necessary to appear in the matter of transportation rates and enter its protest.

"We are deeply concerned over any action which will further increase the cost of lumber and building materials for construction generally, and the consumer. The home building industry in particular is confronted with a serious decline in the volume of starts, and in our opinion that decline in the face of a very substantial consumer demand will not be arrested until such time as there is some real stabilization of building costs, and a freer flow of mortgage money, and both are problems to which the government itself is giving every consideration. Because a substantial part of the delivered cost of lumber and building materials is constituted by freight costs, we believe that the proposals to grant additional rate increases to the railroads have a direct bearing on the problem of arresting the decline in housing starts throughout the country.

"The burden of freight costs would normally fall principally on the ultimate consumer and not the retail lumber and building material dealer. However, the pressure on construction costs is very substantial, and it should be called to the attention of the Commission that in the case of this industry any increases in delivered costs of lumber and building materials caused by rate increases will of necessity have to be passed on to the consumer. The retail lumber and building material dealers have reduced their normal profit margins close to the vanishing point, and any additional costs in the distribution of these materials can not be:absorbed by tltis industry.

"Lumber and construction materials furnish the rail lines with approximately lo/o of their tonnage, and I4/o of their freight revenue. They paid rail freight charges in excess of lfu billion dollars in the year 1955. This revenue is indispensable to the American railroads, and the fact that an industry paid so great a sum for the service proves that the railroads are equally indispensable to the industry. Where

the common interest is so great, neither interest should desire to injure the other.

"The retail lumbei dealers fully realize that the freight rate level must be high enough to support the railroads, and until this level reached a point where it demonstrably might pass the point of benefitting net revenues of the carriers, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association has been content to keep out of the matter. With new construction of housing off nearly 16/o in the past year, and still declining, it is apparent to us that costs have gone beyond the point where anyone can benefit by increasing them.

"The railroads can no more earn revenue on material that is not shipped than can the retail lumber dealer.

"The experience of retail lumber dealers during the last 18 months is convincing that any additional increase in the delivered costs of lumber and building materials, including freight costs, will probably result in further reduction in construction volume and will not result in any additional net revenue for anyone."

The fact that building materials already are carrying a disproportionately heavy transportation expense was brought out by Mr. Colean, whose statement made the following points:

"The items handled by lumber dealers, and miscellaneous building components, paid retail freight of. $1,160,225,424 in 1950. In 1953, the figure was $1,279,437,782 and in 1955 it was $1,300,015,839. In these years, this freight revenue amounted to I4.2/o, 13.6%, and, 14.6/q, respectively, of the gross freight revenie of the railroads. In 1955, lumber dealer items comprised 4.6/o of the total carloads, 3.3/o of the total tons and paid 8.3/o of. the total gross revenue. In the same year, miscellaneous building components comprised 5.3/o of the carloads,4.7% of the tons, and paid5.3/o of the revenues. And in the same year, the lumber dealer items af-rd miscellaneous building components combinecl comprised 9.9/" of. the total carloads, 8.0/o of. the total tons and paid 14.6% of the total gross freight revenues.

"Transportation is an important element in the cost of construction. For a considerable number of construction materials, rail freight represents as much as 20 to 50/o ol value at destination

"Since 1946, wholesale building materials prices have risen 87.9/o, construction wages have gone up 83.5/o, but rail freight rates have had a cumulative advance of over 98/o. The requested increase, if granted, would bring the total cumulative rise since 1946 to l3o/o.

"Already, therefore, more than a third of the total cost of lumber in Washington, D.C, whieh is fairly typical of themost heavily populated part of.the country, is accounted for by freight costs. It may be noted that 20 years ago this proportion was about 25/o. The additional increase, as presently requested, would add close to $5.00 per MBM, or about 5/o to the total lumber cost.

"When translated into terms of the total cost of a small house, such an increase on lumber would amount to $56 per house, or with distributors' markups included, probably

$70 per house for the lumber element alone, exclusive of millwork. Since, according to various estimates, the cost of lumber represents from around one-fourth to one-third of the materials bill on a house, the final result of the freight increase could come to $150 to $300 per house of the average type, which are significant figures under present conditions.

Hearings for cross-examination of witnesses and oral testimony were scheduled to be held in Washington April 8.

John H. Else, legal counsel of the NRLDA, also made these additional points in an appearance before the AntiTrust Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary committee in opposition to S.11:

My name is John H. Else, and I appear here on behalf of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

We wish to go on record in opposition to S.11 now the subject of hearings before your committee.

There are approximately 30,000 retail lumber and building materials dealers in the United States, most of whom are to be found in smaller towns. Many of these dealers are located great distances from their suppliers of many of the products sold by such dealers.

Many of the products sold by the average retail lumber and building materials dealer are heavy and bulky materials.

Freight charges on such materials are often a substantial portion of the costs to the retail dealer.

Freight absorption by the sellers of many of these products is one method of reducing price to meet the price of a competitor who is located near the customer, thereby having a freight advantage.

Freight absorption by sellers is important to the retail lumber dealer because it provides him with a greater number of suppliers from which he may purchase his materials. Without freight absorption, the dealer in many instances would have to look solely to a local supplier who might or might not be equipped to supply the retailer.

If a small producer in a distant rural area were to be prevented from absorbirig freight and meeting his competitor's price in the city where the demand for his product exists, he might soon find himself out of business.

To have available a number of suppliers provides competition which inures to the benefit of the consumer.

Plywood lmporlers Heor Woshington Attorneys ot Protest Meetings in Los Angeles, Sqn Froncisco

A meeting of the Imported Hardwood Plywood Association was held at the Statler hotel, Los Angeles, March 28, to hear James Sharp and William Barnhard of Sharp & Bogan, Washington attorneys, discuss and explain the situation concerning recent moves on the part of domestic hardwood plywood interests to restrict the importation of foreign plywood into the United States. In addition to members of the IHPA, representatives from the Southern California door industry, stock panel distributors and furniture manufacturers, as well as steamship companies, domestic transportation concerns, Los Angeles Harbor officials and customs brokers, were present.

1 Howard Wickersham of Getz Bros. & Co. in Pasadena acted as chairman of the meeting and introduced Mr. Sharp, who gave a background of activities attempting to restrict the importation of plywood. Sharp gave a brief history of the Tariff Commission hearing which unanimously found no reason to restrict hardwood plywood and said that the domestic industries were not damaged by imported plywood.

" $hdrp reported that the Tariff Commission had found ., also that the domestic plywood industry is unable to suplply the flush door business in the United States and that

,. Japanese importations are the only way for this industry

to obtain the needed raw materials. He also pointed out that the door skins represent the majority of imported plywood ir' footage and that imported door skins cause no damage to

domestic industry but actually act as a supplementary supply.

Sharp continued by saying that the domestic hardwood plywood people, having been unsuccessful before the Tarifi Commission, are now conducting a campaign in Washington to attempt to reduce the flow of imported plywood by ' passing bills through Congres.s .which would place a limit

on imported plywood amountin g to fifo of the domestic

annu?l hardwood plywood consumption. So far about 2O

bills have been introduced in the Senate and House of

Representatives, Mr. Sharp said. He then introduced Mr.

Barnhard, who described the bad effect this legislation

would have.

He pointed out that the large and important domestic flush door industry is absolutely dependent on imported

door skins as the domestic plywood industry is not equipped to make the necessary door skins. The unfavorable effect on other American businesses was also pointed out by Mr. Barnhard, among these the furniture and plywood distributing industries. According to Barnhard, the total result would mean a considerable number of American workers would be harmed if this legislation were passed and would also be a depressing factor in the building and allied trades.

Another factor mentioned by Mr. Barnhard was the longrange problem that would be caused to other items of foreign origin which are important to the U.S. economy if. a precedent of arbitrarily setting restrictions, without regard to other connected American industries, were established.

Mr. Barnhard also discussed the great importance of maintaining reciprocal trade with Japan enabling them to earn dollars with which to buy American goods. Barnhard said that Japan is one of the largest overseas customers and depriving them of the dollar income receiveil from plywood would severely damage their ability to buy American exports. This would depress the many U.S. industries which regard Japan as an important customer.

Mr. Barnhard pointed out the urgent necessity for everyone interested in continuing the importation of plywood to contai.t his congressmen and senators, as well as other interested parties in Wash'ington, to explain the other side of this picture.

San Francisco, March 29-Jhe campaign to throttle import competition was described here today as a "deceitful campaign of half-truths" by Col. Gordon D. Ingraham, managing secretary of the Imported Hardwood Plywood Association, Inc. The charge was 'made at the conclusion of a two-day series of meetings between members of the importer group and their Washington attorneys, James R. Sharp and William J. Barnhard.

The meeting was reminded also that Japan was the .world's biggest cash ,customer for the products of America's farms. These sales of U.S. products, and millions of others that are made in Japan every year, would not be possible unless Japan can continue to earn the dollars it wants to spend for U.S. commodities, it was pointed out.

Pocific Coost Lumber Co. Adds New Kirchen Deporlment in Sqnto Borboro Retoil Yqrd

The Pacific Coast Lumber Co., 415 E. Gutierrez St., Santa Barbara, opened a new kitchen department Fel;. 15, announced J. C. Huston, general mana€fer. An open house celebration rvas held Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.*. Ior public inspection, with factory representatives of appliance and cabinet companies on hand. A cooking demonstration rvas held all day in the rotisserie oven, with free samples, and coffee rvas served. Orchids and other gifts rvere tended the ladies. A grand prize of oven and cooking top rvere ar,varded on the final day of the open house.

Huston said the kitchen department is a departure from the usual pattern of retail lumberyards, and Pacific Coast is norv able to offer. in addition to all the lumber and hardn'are to build a home, the appliances and cabinets to complete a ne\v kitchen or remodel the old one. The department rvill be headed at the yard by O. F. Ziebarth, a Santa Barbara resident in the retail line. The yard rvill offer planning, remodeling, complete installation and service.

Textolite, Formica and other materials are featured in the yard's display of kitchen equipment and accessories, and a separate section of the new department shows cabinets of prefabbed white birch toned to contrast with a charcoal Formica counter top and pink sink. Between the two main kitchen display areas, a fireplace with charcoal barbecue and spit provides interest.

The entire kitchen display area at the store is canopied to provide a normal ceiling. The soffit above the cabinets conceals indirect lighting. Separation from other store areas by a Philippine mahogany planter suggests a model home.

Manager Huston said the kitchen department in the yard's store is the second step in providing Santa Barbara "a building materials department store." Last year the yard opened a ne.iv store building displaying hardrvare, power tools and all kinds of building materials and aids. The yard has been serving the tri-county area more than 70 years and expects to continue to progress with a program of expansion and service.

... hovv else could you move * Uittion feet so well?

Producing 12 million board feet of lumber plus 7t/, million feet of plywood monthly, this Roseburg, Oregon mill operation is a bit too big to be typical. But they solved their problem of handling the tremendous output in a way that is typical of many mills and yards today.

To move more than l/-rbillion feet annually through all phases of operation from receiving to delivery they standardized. on Gerlinger material carriers. And bought high-stacking Gerlinger fork lift trucks to "feed" them.

Features like these made their choice of 7 Gerlinger carriers a wise lnvestment:

Superior cab-to-road visibility

4-Speed synchromesh transmission

. All-welded structural steel frame

leoders lor 38 yeors in huilding Fork Lift Trucks and Corriers

Smooth-riding helical coil springs

4-wheel power-assist brakes

Reserve-power overhead valve engine

has more points of interest

The beauty of Forest Sandalwood is the way it stacks up to easier, faster sales. It will pay you to point out its obvious advantages to your customers. For instance: Sandalwood combines a smooth, hard pre-finish in beautiful platinum color with the durability and water resistance of temper-treated hardboard. The color is permanent . baked in! Pre-finished at half the pre-finished cost. Highly wear and scratch resistant. In plank, punched or plain patterns.

Forest Sandalwood is resistant to oil, grease and weather, yet is priced competitive to ordinary hardboard. .Your customers can use "as-is" or where paint is required, one coat covers with real depth of color. As a dealer for Sandalwood you get full mark-up on every sale. For a more attraetive profit picture call your local jobber or write directly to Forest Fiber Products Co.

''Courtesy Letters Poy Dividends

i All the world loves courtesy. 'i,', Whether it be man or vsoman, hard-boile.d or soft,. hearted, they are always pleased at some gesture of real courtesy.

;. The writing of courtesy letters by a merchant-a lumber r,';' merchant-can bring splendid results. In fact, the bestpaying letters a merchant can write are those that are not compulsory, not part of tikre regular business routine. ; Writing such letters attracts attention because they are iir:,'out of the ordinary, and the writer creates for himself a i..

that he has not time-or thinks he hasn't, which amounts to the same th,ing-for writing more than the absolutely essential letters of order, inquiry, acceptance, receipt, etc., and he does not go about seeking other letter writing.

But the man who finds or makes the time to writc a courtesy letter at frequent intervals is generally hugely pleased with results. Folks like unsolicited, friendly, courteous l,etters of that sort.

And, of course, the better the letter the better the results. Not an easy thing to do, to think up something interesting to say? Right. It isn't. Nothing really worthwhile ever is. But that doesn't mean it should be tabled. Find some subject you think will interest the other fellow, tell him in friendly and terse. fashion, and leave him speculating on what a nice sort of business man the writer is. And how thoughtful.

New Western Pine 'lden Book'

The latest edition of the Western Pine Association's popular booklet for consumers, "Friendly Home Ideas," has been released for national distribution. Replacing an earlier edition of the same name-and continuing a series which has been made available to the public since 1936the 24-page booklet is to be distributed nationally through retail lumber dealers to answer requests stimulated by the Association's nationwide advertising program.

The booklet contains 85 photographs in color and black and white to provide ideas to persons planning home remodeling or building, or lesser homecraft projects. It was featured in the association's full-color ads appearing in October and November. The new publication is expected to "outsell" every previous item put out by the lumber group, according to predictions by the association's director of promotion, J. W. Sherar. The last edition, in less than two years, was distributed to about 500,000 persons.

Just 20 years ago this month, "Western Pine Camera Views" set the pace not only for subsequent Western Pine publications, but for many others.

Single copies of the literature may be obtained free of charge by writing to thc Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon. Rates for quantities of the booklet are available on r€quest.

The Costa Mesa City Council approved subdividing 45 acres into 223 lots in three projects: 30 acres on Gisler avenue, 10 acres on N. Wilson avenue east of Harbor Blvd., and 5 acres near N. Wilson street.

10. Always set brakes and cut off power before leaving vehicle.

Georgio-Pocific Reports Outlook Good for Increqsed 1957 Eornings

The outlook for increased earnings for Georgia-I'acific Corporation in 7957 is good and the longer-term prospects are excellent, said the 1956 Annual Report. Or,ven R. Cheatham, president, and llobert B. Pamplin, executive vice-president, stated that trvo major timber acquisitions, involving approximately 8 billion feet of tirlber, brought Georgia-Pacific's total holdings to more than 12 billion feet, all grorving on land orvned by the corporation. Georgia-Pacific is now the o\\rner of one of the largest reserves of oldgron'th timber in the United States.

"The results of the corporation's 1956 rtperatious estalllished record highs," the ofEcials stated. Botl-r the short and long-term timber harvesting programs of Georgia-Pacific should generate cash and profits "at a rate not before realized," the report said.

"The increased number of proclucts n.ratle from tinrlter and the per capita demand gro'n'th are impressive," stockholclers l'ere told. "Of these proclucts the most vigorotts grou'th has been dernonstrated by plyrvood and plyr'voocl procluctsand paper and paper products coltsumer deman<l for both plyu,ood and kraft is expected to double over the next t'nrenty vears."

The best way for a young man who is without friends or infuence to begin is: first, to get a position; second, to keep his mouth shut; third, observe; fourth, be faithful; fifthi make his employer think he would be lost in a fog without him; sixth; be polite'

Our Budget

Our guests have departed; and now we're aghast, Our grocery budget's a thing of the past; Our cupboard, like Hubbard's, yields nothing to eat, Our brave ration book's lying low in defeat. You loved playing hostess, I loved playing host, But guests cannot live on just coffee and toast; Our diet's like Gandhi's and we'll hardly eat, Until our sick budget can get back on its feet.

Jefferson on Lqwyers in Congress:

I served with General Washington in the Legislature of Virginia, before the Revolution, and, during it, with Doctor Franklin in Congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any one but the main point, which was to decide the question.

They laid their shoulders to the great points, knowing that the little ones would follow of themselves. If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everylhing, yield nothing, and talk by the hour? That one hundred and 6fty lawyers should do business together is not to be expected.

Aristocrocy

The sole aristocracy of today is the aristocracy of wealth; the sole aristocracy of tomorrow will be the eternal, divine, beneficient aristocracy of intellect and virtue-at its highest, genius; but that, like everything that descends from God, will rise among the people, and labor for the people.

-Mazzini.

Poper

When I pulled out the drawer of a filing cabinet the other day, a small object fell to the floor. I picked it up and found it was a disk about an inch in diameter and a quarter of an inch in t&rickness. It was one of the rollers out of the grooved roller-bearing extension slides which' support the drawer and contents.

I noticed that the little wheel was made of PAPER, pressed hard as iron, but noiseless as felt when in use as part of the mechanisrn

The origin of paper making is lost in the antiquity of Chinese h.istory. But from the middle of the eighth century, A. D., when the art first became known to the western world, paper has been a mighty factor in the development of civilization. From the birth certificate that pushes us upon life's stage, to the burial permit that rings down the curtain, paper runs the Big Show.

Paper, with words on it, has had more to do with the destiny of kings, the changes of empire, the course of the human race, than the last famous syllable of the name "Hotchkiss."

There are 450,000 words and phrases in the English language that can be printed on paper. The trick is in knowing which ones to leave off.

The application and information is then transferred to two permanent cards, one-of which is installed on a Wheeldex in the lumber office and the other in the store-both available to any clerk at a moment's notice. These cards also contain both the credit limit and current status of the account.

Then, because like death and taxes the slow pay account is inevitable, a neat little system of collection has been worked out. First, because Davis' economy is heavily agricultural, 3Gday accounts are allowed to run for 6O days before an official collection attempt is made. The accounts

receivable ledger is carefully checked each day for credit entries and payments. At the end of 30 days, and if the account hasn't paid, he is sent another invoice. If this fails to get results at the end of the 60 days, the customer is then sent a reminder of his balance owing and past-due.

{ibn d"y. Iater, and if the customer persists in maintain-r ing an icy silence regarding his over-due bill (and few do), the clerk who originally granted the credit gives him a cAll on the phone-or a call in person if the bill ro *arrarrds Generally, at this point something can be worked out to the satisfaction of both, but if the customer still holds out his past-due account is then turned over to the local bureau for collection-and quick results.

The success of Anderson's collection method is due to the simple fact that he and all of his employes rigidly

Ir-r time l)avntents, -\nclerson's l'nethod is n.ruch the same. I)a.vis Lumber uses a standard conclitional sales contruct; horvever, it is interesting to note that it also adcls a nrinimurrr charge r>f $1.50 or 7/c per ntonth in "tin're charges." Maximnm time allou'ecl is six months and maximum cre(lit allon'ecl is $2.50. --\lso included in the provisions of the contract is the ltul.er's agreement to pay late charges of fir'c cents l)er ciollar in addition to the regrrlar installrlrer.rt (but not t() cxceed larl'frr1 maxinrum) if pavnrcnts arc not made n'ithin 1.5 rlavs af te r the iluc date ; the lruyer also lrgrees to pay al1 lcgai expense ii account is placed in the hantls of an attorney for collection.

"After a11," Anderson explained, "a ten-dollar credit loss is just like taking a ten-spot out of the cash register and burning it. If you think of it in that light, you'lI spend a little extra time watching the credit applications and ledger in order to prevent such 'bonfires'."

Another outstanding feature of the Davis I-umber operation is its <liversity of inventory. Irr adilition to the usual ge ncral linc of hardu'are , paints an<l builcling nraterials m()st commonly found in lrrnrlierl'arrls, I)avis l-urnber also fcatures an appliance department, a houser,r'are division. a gitrden supply <lcpartment ancl even tr sprtrting goods deltartment.

SoGql Deolers Now Offered Corgo Lots By Goos Heod Lumber & Plywood Go.

For the first time in many years, plywood is arriving in Los Angeles'harbor via barge, according to Phil Gilbert, Southern California manager of Coos Head Lumber and Plywood Co. "We have no knowledge of any other concern in the past that shipped plywood on regular schedule via

cargo to this area," Gilbert declared when the first shipment arrived in Wilmington last month.

Under the management of Gilbert, the Coos Head firm is expanding its personnel and facilities to serve dealers throughout the eight counties of the Southland. New offices and warehouse were acquired last month at Pier 135 to handle the expanding inventory and personnel. Don Hathaway, a recent arrival from Oregon, has been placed in charge of the plywood sales division; Jean Goodloe, popular young lumber gal in the harbor district, has been named to the'important post of office secretary; Lyle Bailey, who helped Phil Gilbert establish the original location, is in charge of accounting, and George Wehrley, welt-known lumberman in the Wilmington district, has been named warehouse superintendent.

According to Mr. Gilbert, all inventory, lumber and plywood will be received from the north via cargo. In the wellorganized concentration yard in Wilmington the firm maintains complete stocks of grade-stamped lumber and DFPA-grade-stamped Douglas fir plywood, of all thicknesses and grades for dealers throughout Southern California. Regularly scheduled cargo shipments will be arriving

"ft is our desire to furnish the lumber dealers in our trade area with consistently and uniformly good products and the very best service that can be obtained," Gilbert declared.

New Window bnd Door Frqmes Stondord

A new commerciall standard, CS2f]lS.17, for wood window and door frames has been released by the Commodity Standards division of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The standard was proposed by the National Woodwork Manufacturers Association and circ.ulated to the woodwork industry. Satisfactory acceptance enabled the Department of Commerce to declare it a.commercial standard.

The standard provides minimum requirements for standard stock exterior wood window and door frames. The requirements cover moisture content, species of .lumber, construction, parts sizes, and opening sizes. Detail.s of basic frame parts are also shown. It is a prime aid to woodwork manufacturers, distributors and dealers and to h?chitects and builders. Copies of the standard may ber obtained at 15c each from the National Woodwork.Manufacturers Association, 332,South Michigan Avenue, Chicago 4, Illinois.

The importers' association hopes, therefore, to enlist the support of American farmers and other export organizations, as well as the users and handlers of imported plywood, in its campaign of truth and education about the plywood situation.

If the domestic plywood industry is suffering at all todaR t&re meeting was told, it is because of the decline in the softwood plywood industry, which has no import competition, and because of the drop in home construction, which is not the fault of any imports.

The tallier consists of a series of photo-electric cells, which individually light up and trip a counter when something passes through to break the beam. By placing them at

2' intervals, each piece of lumber that interrupts the beams is automatically tallied according to its length. It has been checked over a period of time against a regular tallyman and whenever there was a slight difference, the machine was always right. There is no chance for the normal small percentage of human error that develops under the old methods. Inasmuch as the machine is completely automatic, it replaces a man on a very difficult job and releases him for other work around the plant.

This concentration yard and planing mill at Phoenix, Oregon, is operated by the Ed Fountain Lumber Co., a partnership consisting of Ed Fountain, Doyle Bader, Dale Burns, Carl Myers and Allan Young. Most of the company's business consists of buying from sawmills with surfacing facilities, and selling to lumber dealers in Southern California. The salesmen handling this work are Frank Bader, Dick Lloyd, Rex Warkentine and Bob Garvin. The company deals only in Western softwoods.

Highfighrs of T. M. "Ty" Cobb's Remqrks:

"Good evening to you all. I'm happy that you \\'ere able to joirr us in hon,oring our mutual friend, 'Pop' l{anson especially our out-of-town guests who have irnprcssed Mr. llanson as greatly as you have me in making the great effort necessary to be here tonight to help us make his Darrty a success.

" Tl.rere are a few facts concerning our good fl iend's career that should at least be known to his'intirnate friends:

"Frorn a young ex-sailor ellgaged in helping popularize that new contraption-the telephonc, to an enterprising -iorrng fellow deciding to become the BEST peach farmer in I,f ichigan, to a nlan <lctermined to get into a business rvhcrc cverl' cla1. was pay day all of us here wlio use his line pro<lucts know only too well how he has succccdecl.

"He heaclecl for California rvith his u'ife and two <larrgl.rtcrs, arriving in Los Angeles in the carll'20s... with lris rlcsile for easy living and every-day-payda,v, hc naturall-v enterccl the nrillwork m:rnufacturing busirrcss-starting the tnanuf:rcture of lvood window screens. Travcling about in qucst ()f or(lers, all he coultl see was a front cloor an<I, he reasoned, u.h1' not acld the convenience of a rear door?

"He set about to renrcd,u- the situation and 1'ou all knor",'thc results-the Hollywoocl line of conrbil;1f1611 d661s-the st:tn<larrl of the industr-r. for thc past 2.; 1.'ears, and \\'e hope for many years to come Wc 'w'ho were sellillg this young colnl);ily small quantities of rnaLerials soon f ound ourselves rush ing around to fill orders of one million or ntore feet of lumber ancl plywood. Evidently Mr. Hanson dicln't havc rnuch faith in the inclustry's abilitl' to keep his colnpall-v in rnatcrials, for :rt about this time he felt ca'lled upon to journel' to Oregon ancl 1>urchase a sawmill.

"'l'her e are lnany and var-\ ing stories conccrning this vcllture. The one I like best is that he made a deal u'ith the big bo1's: Wcycrhaeuser, I-ong-Bcll, ancl Tarter, Wcbster & Johnson- to get out of the sau'nrill business if they would stay out of the cornbination door busincss. This agreerncnt, I believe, still stancl s.

"The California Bank lnoverl from across the strcet from our place antl built a fine new bank rnuch nearer to trIr. Hanscnleaving just a few blocks Lretwcen for his futulc exl,ansion. My gootl friend Mr. Wilson of the U.S. National Rank advised me tl.rat since our mutual friend o1>ened his account with their bank their deposits have zoomecl from 30 to over 100 rnillion dollars alld they have opened some 15 brancl.res-nrany of them, I think, for his convenience.

"You are all, I am sure, familiar with the tracl,enrark on all 'Pop Har.rson' products-the large green tree whiclt many of l.ou thought to be an evergreen. I say to you, tl.rat is NOT an evergreen trec; that's 'Pop' llanson's nroney tree anrl long may it stancl-it coulcln't happen to a nicer guy.

"'Pop' Hansorr, I salute you!"

Pop Honson Night

(Continued from Page 60)

USP's Algomo Wins Sofely Awqrd

The world's record for industrial safety in the plywood industry goes to Algoma Plywood and Veneer Company of Algoma, Wisconsin, subsidiary of United States Plywood Corporation. The award for this record, presented by National Safety Council, resulted from operation of the Algoma plant, 1,551,002 hours during 1956 without a disabling injury.

Jock Boiley Nite

(Continued from Page 18)

they had a big evening. Bud Barber says it was one of the outstanding events in Club 31 history, if not the most outstanding event any Hoo-Hoo club ever participated in, and the committee and President Joe Aimar wish to publicly thank all the many persons who gave their hands, their time

and financial help in making it all that it was.

"Everyone seemed to enjoy working on this project and the cooperation was the greatest we could ever expect for any organizational activity of this nature," Mr. Barber declared. "Hoo-Hoo needs more projects of this type to illustrate what a really worthwhile organization it CAN be."

It was a grand night, allright, and a wonderfully warm and generous thing that the T. M. Cobb Company did in staging it for this splendid citizen. Few men ever deserved such a tribute more. The invitations had read: "This day henceforth to be known as 'Pop Hanson Day'i' and the evening was so successful that it very well could become an annual.

"Chuck" Corwin, salesmanag'er of the Cobb Company, estimated the crowd at about 70, and. that's a whole lot of real friends for any one man to see in one room at a given time. "All my customers are here," Mr. Hanson said once. Customersfriends, with this fine man they're one and the same.

"There are 2,0ffi years of experience in this room," Mr. Cobb said when he started his after-dinner talk. And there were lumbermen, manufacturers, bankers, attorneys, master merchants and the press. More than one of them who stood by his seat at table to voice a little tribute to Mr. Ifanson called him "a friend of industry." Wires were read from many of the invited who could not attend. And there were several letters from others on the official guest list.

Host Cobb told of "Pop" Flanson's career (see Page 61), praised his product, his family and his character and detailed the growth of his business f.rom20 employes to 200.

And they told of Mr. Hanson's philosophy in notifying his past-due accounts, which is simply to inform them: "I've carried you longer than your Mother did."

In addition to the taperecorder gift from the T. M. Cobb Company (pictured on Page 60), there were other tokens to the guest of honor. Then there was that always touching moment at any honor ceremony, after all the thoughts have been voiced, when the entire crowd rose to its feet for that thunderous moment of standing applause.

What could Mr. Hanson say? There really aren't any words for tributes from the hearts like that one. So he didn't say a word; but he .looked volumes of gratitude. And he can always cherish the memory of that night, the gifts, the spoken words both in person and preserved on the electronic tape.

Itot that he ever should, but if "Pop" Hanson ever wondered if he had true friends. now he knows ! His good friends at the T. M. Cobb Company showed him so on that memorable night of March 72,,1957.

Another New Artesio Door Product Reoches the Western Morket

Artesia Door Company's new Fold-Away Flush Door units have met with ready acceptance, reports Andy Vasquez, vice-president of sales for the manufacturing and distributing concern.

"Early last month, the first Fold-Away natural wood doors were delivered to Southern California job-sites and the versatility and beauty of this new door adds exciting livability to any decor," Vasquez declared. This space-saver is available in various species of imported and domestic hardwoods, as well as Masonite, it was said. "ft is easy to install and should become a leader in sales for remodeling, as well as new construction. It is shipped in assembled form ready for immediate installation, including attached hardware," Vasquez pointed out.
