Unique New Lumber Handbook

The West Coast l-umbermen's Association is olTering a new service to lumbermen in the form of a "Handbook for Lumber Offices" n'ritten for the untrained employee who is a stranger to the ways and language of the lumber trade.

'I'he chapter headings indicate the scope of the material : "llorv l-umber is Distributed," "f-umber Grading," "How to Figure and Invoice Lumber," "Methods of Quoting," "Glossary of Terms," "Commonly Used l-umber Abbreviations," an<1 "Names of Commercial Timbers."

\Vhile the glossary itself is probably the most ambitious ever prep:rred by the lumber industry, it is even more unique because of the inclusion of each word as it appears in shorthand. This feature was prepared by the Gregg Publishers and is authoritative. The commercial timbers listing also includes the shorthand feature.

Tlre charge to lumber offices for this 32 page "Handbook" is $1.00 per copy payable with the order to West Coast Lumbermen's Association, 1410 S. W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.
