Hollenbeck Holds Profit-plonning Clinic for Kite-Areo Deolers

Paul R. Hollenbeck, founder of Lumber Service Company, Burbank, conducted a Profit Planning Clinic for retail lumber dealers March 24 in Riverside at the Mission Inn. Full treatment was given to open forum discussion of modern methods that will permit the lumber industry to arrive at more realistic pricing in relation to modern day merchandising.

The group convened promptly at 9:00 a.m. for a full day of concentration on problems pertaining to sound business principles of Modern Pricing Techniques for the Retail Lumber Dealer. Every pl-rase of ethical business procedure was covered, including sales, cost, price and profit. Graphic examples produced by Hollenbeck and his able assistant, Lynn Dawson, held the interest of the dealers until late altefnoon.

The educational conclave covered gross profit, mark-up, percentage of sales to profit planning and inventory breakdown. Overhead and its relation to gross sales and net profits to sales was thoroughly covered at the enlightening sessions. In fact, the executives of the retail yards were so interested in the educational value of the information they were receiving from the clinic discussions that only two short breaks were taken, for coffee and lunch.

Hollenbeck emphasized the necessity and importance of

service to gross sales, and the effect of assets to inventory ratio on price and merchandise price planning. In {act, every category of lumber procurement and selling was covered at the day-long meeting.

Paul Hollenbeck is no neophyte in lumber marketing. He has sDent a lifetime as a market analizer in the wood products bnd allied materials field. He is a recognized authority on the problems involved in the realistic approach to modern-day retailing. He has a wide knowledge in management and sound business principles.

"No two businesses iu our industry are exactly alike. It is necessary to design the operation to fit the business, investment, percentage of sales and inventory turnover," he said. He covered the importance of costing all tickets all the time and emphasized the use of the daily report form and its importance to sound business management.

"Tl-re end product of your effort is reflected in the proper price you receive for your merchandise," he declared. "If you will apply the methods, and principles, we have discussed here today, we feel confident the results will show on the black side of the ledger," said Hollenbeck when the rneeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m.

Dealers who attended the clinic at Riverside included Donald J. Derbes, Palm Springs Builders Supply; Clifford Rose, manager of McCoy Lumber Co., San Jacinto; H. J. Schmitz, credit manager of McCoy Lumber Co., Hemet; Earl Stephenson, Gibson Lumber Co., Victorville; George P. Loos, Gibson Lumber Co., San Bernardino; Neal Chadbourne, general manager of the Valley Lumber & Supply, Indio; R. E. Brenkman, Corona Lumber Co,; Kenneth E.

LEE BOW WINDOW FEATURES MARVEL LOK JOINT

An important advance in bow window construction was recently made by Lee Millwork Corporation of Fair Lawn, New Jersey. After eight years of manufacturing bow windows, first with a standard rabitted joint and then with a regular dovetail joint, the firm is now using the new Marvel Lok joint in its Lee Bow windows. The joint was first shown at the Middle Atlantic Lumberman's convention at Atlantic City in February' and has received general acclaim from the building trade.

The joint is guaranteed not to leak. It enables assembly with the frame Inembers "lockins"

A new fork-truck carriage extension f or use with narrowaisle trucks has been designed by engineers of The Raynrond Corporation. The new carriage accessory is designed for use with the company's "Four-Directional" truck in order to permit long flexible loads to ,be handled faster and with greater safety. It will simplify the handling of long springy items.

With the new carriage arrangement, most of the weight is carried by the main forks, with the outer extension forks holding up the ends of the load to prevent dragging or swaying. The stabilizing extension forks are adjustable to a maximum width of 15'. -fhe load stabilizer carriage hooks on to the standard fork carriage and may be easily removed when ordinary size pallet loacls are to be tiered.

Use of the carriage extension allows the Four-Directional, narrow-aisle truck to handle loads 15' or longer. In operation, with its loads across the forks, it moves down a wide main aisle and, when it reaches the narrow storage area, moves sideways with its load into an aisle that can be as narrow as 7 feet.

in place. An average-sized frame can be asserrrbled in twenty minutes either in the factory or on the job site. And the "blind" joint does not require any additional moldir-rgs on the inside of the frame.

When exhaustive tests proved successful, the Marvel Lok joint was patented but there was some delay before production was begun ,because specialized machinery had to be designed and built. The Marvel Lol< joint was so superior to the old dove-tail joint, that Lee scrapped more than 1,000 window parts machined with the old joint so that the Marvel Lok joint could be included in all units being shipped knocked down to distributors throughout the country.

That's when Signoture Homes told their material supplier "We're sold on Kambercore" doors in the new Signolure Norrhridge development-homes in the $21 ,750 to $22,900 class.

Andy Anderson, Tract Superintendent for Signoture Northridge, said, "With 'KAMBERCORES,' we had the least warpage of any doors we've ever used. That's lrue even during our rainy season. That difterenf core sure makes a difterence!"

Arnold Koblentz, vice-president in charge of sales for Signolure Homes, said, "We've had nothing but compliments on the 'KAMBERCORE' flush doors in our Signoture Northridge homes.

NRLDA Plqns to Expond ond Boom Retoil Activity

Herbert W. Blackstock, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, opened the Spring meeting of the NRLDA board of directors, May 10, on a highly optimistic note. In reporting on his travels to a goodly number of federated association conventions this past winter and spring, he stated he found great enthusiasm for the increasing opportunity for the selling of building materials and construction services to the general public in all areas of the country.

Mr. Blackstock greeted the presidents of the federated associations who were in attendance at this meeting for the first time. He pointed out that the presence of these outstanding dealers from the state and federated groups marked a new step in the progress of NRLDA, inasmuch as these men were being made ex-officio members of the National's board, thereby expanding the board by some 33 capable and experienced lumbermen who would from now on play an important part in the formulation of industry policies and programs.

Mr. Blackstock announced the approval by the board of an expanded program of National Association activities resulting from a joint meeting of the NRLDA officers, executive committee and federated association managing officers representing the nine Executive Committee districts of NRLDA, held in Dallas, Texas, in April.

The recommendations of this group to the National board were that new, improved and expanded activities of the National Association should be developed within eleven broad categories of activity, as follows: National Affairs (national legislation) : Government Relations (with all agencies of the Federal Government whose administrative actions and rulings affect the welfare of the lumber dealer) ; in the field of Building and General Industry Relations, that is, cooperative activities with other nationally or-

ganized groups; the employment of staff to conduct a Program of closei liaison between the members of the industry and the state and regional associations constituting the industry's federated association group; Education relating to eniployee and management training; Dealer Operations Research, such as materials-handling and yard-layout problems leading to cost savings; Market Development, as it relates to Education and Industry Facts, Merchandising and Trade Promotion, and the multiplying problems of Marketing and Distribution; the continuing expansion of the Association's Exposition; expanded activities in the field of Transportation relating to freight rate reductions ; expanded activity in the Labor Relations field dealing with rulings, decisions and developments of particular concern to the dealers, and the development of assistance and guides to dealers on specific labor problems in the basic iechniques of collective bargaining; and improved Public Relations in behalf of the entire industry.

The board of directors agreed with these recommendations, and recommended that the Association plan expanded membership drives and give consideration to the funding necessary in order to provide the industry with expanded servlce programs.

NRLDA's treasurer, W. B. Oldham, reported that the Association's accounts were in sound condition, and H. R. Northup, the National Association's executive vice-president, stated housing construction in the nation was going forward despite the lack of any new enabling housing legislation.

Commenting on the large volume of construction and home building, modernization and repair, he stated residential and commercial construction in the year ahead looks better. He pointed out that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 433,000 non-farm housing units started in the first quarter of the year-the highest first quarter on record.

Mr. Northup went on to point out the market opportunities confronting the entire industry, and therefore its determination to concentrate on its ability to sell service and maintain these markets was of first importance.

National Legislative Counsel John H. E,lse reviewed legislation now pending in Congress. He reviewed the pending housing legislation, stalemated at the moment iu the House Rules committee, with the observation that he was confident that the major provisions which were of paramount interest to the retail lumber industry: namely, the increase of FHA's insuring authority, would without doubt be passed by this Congress, but there was the possibility of Presidential veto of those housing proposals which would greatly increase spending beyond the budget presently contemplated by the Administration in the field of public housing, urban renewal, college housing, and direct loans for elderly housing. Ile commented on the fact that the VA rates was likely to be expanded to 5%%, which would inject new life into VA Loan Guaranty program.

Mr. Else also commented on the many programs in which the industry had interested itself in relation to the retail establishment exemption of the \Arage-Hour Law, related the industry's opposition to the suggestions that the minimum wage be raised to $1.25, and commented on the industry's attitudes and viewpoints in relation to taxation of cooperatives, the possibility of securing recognition of the equity of materialmen's liens vs. federal liens on property, and the continuing desire of the industry to maintain its right to meet competitive prices in local markets which might be lost under the provisions of Senator Kefauver's Senate Bill, S. 11.

It certainly pays for a mountain to advertise, as proven by the case of Pike's Peak. There are 26 mountains in Colorado higher than Pike's Peak, but who can name one of them? Of course, Pike's Peak owes most, if not all, of its fame to its selection of a location. \Mere it located where some of the other 26 are, it would never have been heard of either, ,r ,r ,i

When Lincoln was first mentioned for the Presidency, there were thousands of people who laughed at the very prospect. He was green. IIe was awkward. He lacked grace. But he outlived his greenness and his awkwardness, and he lived to utter many thoughts that will last as long as civilization survives. The green and awkward countryman became immortal.

BY JACK DIONNE

Andrew Carnegie, one of the most generous and helpful men in this world's history, said: "I was born in poverty and would not exchange its sacred memories with the richest millionaire's son that ever breathed. Give me the life of the boy whose mother is nurse, seamstress, washerwoman, cook, teacher, angel and saint, all in one, and whose father is guide, exemplar and friend. Those are boys who are born to the best fortune. My experience is that wealth is liable to take the smiles away," >k + *

And speaking of this same Andrew Carnegie, during the panic of 1893 he approached a group of bankers in an Eastern city and asked for a loan of one million dollars-quick. They were aghast at the nerve of the Scotchman. "Such a loan would be unprecedented," they told him. And the Scot, who got paid $1.20 a week for the first year of his working history, twelve hours a day, calmly replied: "I am a man who does unpredictable things." He got the loan.

Designed to eliminate all the troublesome headaches of plywood storage, Johnson & Flaherty "Plyracks" will handle as many as 220 difterent types of plywood-all fully accessible-in just 100 linear feet.

The secret of "Plyra&s" convenience is their complete flexibility-stacks from L0" to 6' may be stored with equal ease, up to 12 ft. in height. Adjustable hangers eliminate waste space. Slots in side-rails will accommodate removable hangers on lCt/' centers.

If a retail lumber merchant has so deported himself and impressed himself upon his community that his townspeople love him as a neighbor, respect him as a citizen, appreciate him as a skillful merchant of building things; if they are impressed with his business wisdom and believe firmly in his integrity; if in their minds he is the fellow they instinctively think of when they think of building, then who on earth can get this man's business away from him?

The first skilled *ortJ, irr**oJd we have any record of was a guy by the name of Bezaleel. Moses got him to build

the tabernacle of the Hebrews, which was built of gold, silver and wood. Exodus says that the Lord filled Bezaleel "with wisdom and skill in timber carving."

Frequently some thinking person is heard to say-"This is the day of the young man," and he seems to think this fact marks a change in human affairs. Which, of course, is not the case. The world has always belonged to the young. Shakespeare wrote his immortal "Hamlet" at the age of 33, Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence at 32, at the age of 31 Daniel Webster was holding his own with those titans of word and thought, Clay and Calhoun; at 30 Lord Clive had conquered India, at 36 Lord Byron had won fame and fortune and was already dead, at 33 Alexander the Great had conquered the world and longed for more worlds to conquer, at 33 Jesus had accomplished His mission and had been crucified. It was always thus. And so, no doubt, it will always be.

When people began to read, they began to reason. And when they began to reason, they began to make progress.

Hoywcrd lumber, lnvestment Co. Moves Generql Offices ro Highlsnd Pqrk

Hayward Lumber & Investment Company has moved its general office from 410 San Fernando Road in Los Angeles, where it had been located for 38 years, to 5544 North Figueroa Street (Highland Park), in Los Angeles.

Hayward Lumber & Investment Company purchased the land at the old location in 1921, erected offices, and put in a lumber yard and a hardware store. In 1942 it closed the lumber yard operation at that point and erected buildings and went into manufacturing several items for defense purposes. After the war it continued with the various manufacturing concerns.

The new Golden State Freeway has taken off a part of the l.acy Street incinerator property, so the city of Los Angeles needed more land. The city took the entire block in which the company's plant and office buildings were located, which necessitated moving the general office.

The officers who have been with the comoanv in all the years since I92l are Sam T. Hayward, president; Max E,. llayward, vice-president, and Leo E. Hubbard, secretary.

At the present time, the company operates seven lumber yards throughout Southern California, and has considerable real estate and subdivisions.

Six men have been added to the field promotion staff of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, according to W. E. Difford, managing director. Difford also announces several changes among regional field promotion managers.

Members of the DFPA Field Promotion department, which is headed by Stanley A. Taylor, work with plywood producers, iellers, specifiers, and users to orovide information and advice on the product and its applications. Regional headquarters are maintained in ten cities. The latest additions bring the staff to 58.

The six new members of the field promotion staff will be based in the following cities: James E. Fox, Chicago ; Paul J. Marsh, Seattle (regional headquarters, Tacoma); Harlow T. Richardson, Los Angeles; Curtis W. Solly, Minneapolis; Harold J. Tejes, Sacramento (regior-ral headquarters, San Francisco) : and Hampton W. Wagner, Detroit.

versity of Washington's School of Architecture and is a graduate of Gonzaga University. He was with Paul Thiry, Seattle architect, before his affiliation with the plywood assoiiation.

viously with Satterlee & Tomich, Sacramento architects.

Transfers of Regional Managers

Among the regional field promotion managers, Darwin C. Boblet, formerly Cleveland manager, has been transferred to New York City. Vern Haskell, formerly senior field representative

in Detroit, is now the Detroit regional manager. W. D. Page, who had been regional manager in Chicago, has been named executive vice-president of the Plywood Fabricators Service, Inc., and Don Lockridge, who was senior field representative in the Detroit area, has assumed the Chicago managership.

Plywood AssociqtionSets Up Form Promotion Service

W. E. Difford, managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, announces the establishment of a national agricultural field promotion service. Difford says the step is occasioned by the rapid growth in the farm market for fir plywood, and underscores the growing emphasis DFPA is placing on service to consumers in this category.

Richardson comes to DFPA from a general contracting firm in Costa Mesa, California. where he was estimator and office manager. He was graduated from Long Beach State College with a B.A. in Industrial Education.

The new service is organized within the association's existing Field Promotion department, headed by Stanley A. Taylor..Headquarters are in Tacoma, and agricultural representatives are located in seven major farm areas throughout the country. Like the regular field promotion representatives, farm representatives will assist plywoocl users and specifiers with information on the product arrcl its best application.

W. L. Griebeler will direct the new agricultural promotion group. He was a DFPA field promotion representative in San Francisco from 1951 to 1956. He then joined Harbor Plywood Corporation in Aberdeen as assistant sal's manager, returning to the association in 1958. Griebeler is a graduate of Oregon State College, where he obtained his B.S. in Agricultural Engineering in 1941. He has taught in the college's Department of Agricultural Engineering and Architecture, specializing in farm structures and light frame constructl0n.

Regional agricultural promotion representatives include Floyd Smith, stationed in Santa Clara, California, and Ray Mitzner, Tacoma. Smith, a Cornell graduate, will be concerned with farm use of fir plywood in the Soutl.rwest. Mitzner was previously with Rilco Laminated Products, Inc., in St. Paul. His principal assignment is engineering work on agricultural plan development.

When you deal in cedar, you have a quality edge over other roofing materials. For natural cedar shingles add that vital third dimension-thickness-to their other attributes of good looks and long life. But always insist on Certigrade shingles when you buy. The genuine Certigade label beneath the bandstick is your assurance of mill-inspected material that meets or exceeds its grademark.

Frederick H.

This will be a joint seminar course with participants from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps.

The basic purpose of the course is to train a cadre of reserve ofifrcers from all services who are active in civic and public affairs and who in civilian life, help create a resolute national climate of opinion. It is proposed that this will strengthen the National Defense programs and will bolster the national will to resist Communist propaganda strategems. This will alert leadership groups to the danger of the cold war conflict. It is also intended to build a bridge between civilian groups and the military through the reserve officer who is a member of both groups.

Graduates of this course will be kept continually supplied with up-to-date material on the subjects. They will be expected to lecture and write on this field.

Lumber Dealer Kranz is a Major in the California Air National Guard and management analyst for the 146th Tactical Fighter Wing at Van Nuys. He is State and County Affairs Chairman for the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce and is active in many other civic and social clubs.

Officials of the Denver & Rio Grande Western R.R. report that they have undertaken research designed to modify softwoods so they perform like hardwoods, reports the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn., Washington, D.C. Ray McBrian, chief research engineer for the railroad, recently told the Joint Senatellouse Committee on Atomic E,nergy

"Our preliminary studies indicate that it is theoretically possible by the use of certain chemicals, in conjunction with gamma radiation, to induce cross-linking or polymerization of the fibers of softwoods, and thereby secure the equivalent of hardwoods."

The railroads' principal interest in such a development would be for crossties but, presumably, the process could be adapted to other items, says the NLMA.

STAN DICK-BUD BYARD-FRAN HERON

Stotemenf by HousingAdministrolor Normcrn P. Mnson, Moy 19, 1959

This week the House of Representatives has the opportunity to act on housing legislation.

We in the Housing Agency want a housing bill that is consistent with sound public and fiscal policy. It is my earnest hope that the House will strive to approve such a bill.

The House will have before it two bills on which to base its discussion and action.

One is the original Committee bill. As I have said before, it is extravagant and unsound. It would commit the federal government to heavy costs over many years to come.

The other is a substitute, introduced by Democratic Congressman Herlong of Florida. I do not endorse every detail in this bill but it represents, in my judgment, a moderate approach. Its cost is within the country's means. ft affords a basis on which differences in judgment can be reasonably reconciled.

The Herlong bill would enable our basic housing and urban programs to be resumed at their previous levels, without excessive cost to the taxpaver. There are several key reasons why it offers the prospett of a bill that can be enacted-rather than another housing stalemate.

1. The Herlong bill provides the support necessary to

Southern €qlifornio Building Homes qt Rqte of l45,9OO q Yeor

Homebuilding activity in the southern half of California opened the current year with a I5/o increase over the 1958 level, according to Security-F'irst National Bank's monthly Summary of Business Conditions. During the firsl two monihs of the year, building permits were issued for 23,038 family dwelling units. The bank said this was equivalent to 145,900 units per year on a seasonally adjusted basis, a level of activity exceeded only in 1955.

Of the 14 Counties in the southern half of the state surveyed by Security's research department, all showed gains over 1958 except Los Angeles, Kern and Inyo. In San Diego, Riverside, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Fresno and Kings counties, homebuilding was at the highest level ever recorded.

During 1958 there were 14.7 dwelling units authorized per 1,000 population in the southern half of the state, the bank revealed. Highest ratios were reached in Santa Barbara county (38.6), Orange (31.), San Diego (25.2), Riverside (25.1), Ventura (19.6) and San Luis Obispo (18.2).

For the nation as a'whole, the homebuilding ratio was less than 7. per 1,000 population.

continue our present high level of homebuilding to meet the needs of the American people. It contains the urgently needed increase in the FHA authorization to enable the FHA program to resume on a normal basis instead of its present hand-to-mouth operations. The bill contains the same liberalized provision for FHA mortgage insurance as the original Committee bill.

2. Early enactment of such legislation would unblock the measure already passed by the Flouse to unfreeze VA interest rates. As a result of the present pegged VA rate, applications for veterans home loans are falling off sharply.

3. The Herlong bill omits the costly and unneeded $3.7 billion public housing proposal in the Committee bill. It would be folly to endanger other programs needed for housing now for a controversial proposal that would at best house no one for several years to come.

4. The Herlong bill brings the annual urban renewal

expenditures into line with sound budgetary ,estimates for federal obligations. Although it would -provide only half of the.six-year-program recommended by the President, it isunlike the Committee bill-geared to our ability to spend.

The Herlong bill has been critici zed by some because it would give..the Appropriations committee the right, where the expenditure of new federal funds is involvid, to approve such expenditures before instead of after thev ai.e made. I find it hard to argue against the logic of such control. It is properly a matter foi the Congreis to determine how it can best discharge its responsibilities in the spending of public funds.

Furthermore, I can see no difference in principle on this point between the two bills. The Committe. ^bill. in it. p.rgposal for _$100,000,000 in direct loans for housing for the elderly,_ would also require A_p_propriations co-mitte. ,p- proval before such money could be-used.

A sound domestic economy is important to our defense.

Nevods Lumber Co., Tqhoe VolleY, Singled Out for Honors in Sqles Of Acousticol Ceiling Tile in '58

Nevada Lumber Company of Tahoe Valley has won recognition as one of the n'atioh's top retail dealers in residentiil acoustical ceiling tile, according to word received by F. K. (Speck) Rahbeck and Harold Dayton of the Tahoe nrm.

Acclaim was given recently to Nevada Lumbgr !y tlte Armstrong Cork-Company of Burlingame, Calif., during its

R. L. Mullen, district manager in Burlingame, pointed out that since the convention is a wholesaler meeting, sPecific retail dealers are seldom referred to by name, "But in the past few years the residential acoustical ceiling business-has grown so rapidly that it has become a. very significant business with a number of retail dealers."

He said that some dealers did "Such an outstanding job of promoting our ceilings last year that five of them rated spetial mention from the stage," including Nevad.a Lumbe.r.

- The Tahoe firm, he said, "Was tops with an increase in their ceiling volume in excess of 500 percent," which "rated the finest performance of 1958."

He declared: "Certainly the Armstrong representatives and West Coast wholesalers in attendance at the convention were justifiably proud of the fact that one of our dealers was singled out for such a special mention. It certainly was a signal honor to be selected from the thousands of retail lumber dealers across the United States as one of the top performers on the Armstrong ceiling line."

Coliseum Arenq Gets Neighbor

Next door to the biggest and roundest neighbor a home ever had, construction work on the "Kulani" model home for the 1959 Los Angeles Home Show got under way. Being built in the shadow of the new Memorial Coliseum Sports Arena, the "Kulani" home has been selected as a feature exhibit of this year's annual Home Show, running July 16 through 26, the first major exposition presented at the new Arena.

Exhibit Spoce Going Fqst for Notionol Deqler Show

With nearly three-fourths of available booth space accounted for in the first 14 days of sales, the 6th annual NRLDA Building Products Exposition was off to a flying start last month, according to Oertell Collins, Exposition general- chairman. Participating in first assignmints of space for the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association's 1959 show, set for November 14-17 in the Cleveland Ohio Public Auditorium, were a record 132 suppliers, about one-half of which have contracted for largef spaces than they used in the 1958 NRLDA Exposition, Mr. Collins indicated.

Twenty-two of the firms listed in the initial space con- tracts are newcomers to the NRLDA Exposition, none h3ving .participated- in the dealers' 1958 show in Chicago. The "Avenue of New Dimensions in Selling," a n6* NRLDA show feature rhade up predominanti"y of large spaces from which sta_ndard exhibit height and depth restrlctrons are removed, was almost completely sold out, as were most of the standard-size exhibit boofhs flanking the "Avenue."

Exhibitors in this area, which was created to stimulate imagination in display merchandising, will utilize it for dramatic introduction of their 1960 lines or to give a spec- tacular kick-off to a new product.

Chairman Collins, a Savannah, Georgia, lumber dealer, is ''pleased but not surprised" with the show's record space sales kick-off. "Inventory and services of the dealers are the real ke_y-to the building material market of the '60's,,' he said.

the best of the three top trade shows in this industry. Industry-wide attendance promotion, plus early morning and later afternoon timing of sales-centered dealer manage- mgqt meetings, have helped the NRLDA Expositi,on achieve this new position of leadership."

More than 60 categories of building products are represented among first space assignments for the 1959 show, covering practically every type of material used in construction of homes and commercial buildings, Mr. Collins stated.

Home Builders Get Look of Shope of Things to Come

Washington, D.C.-Home buyers and builders got a look at the shape of things to come in the American home at the National Housing Center on May 14. The National Association of Home Builders unveiled a dramatic exhibit of advanced products and construction techniques on that date. The display is based on new products and processes which are already available-or will be by the end of this yearto builders and buyers errerywhere.

In fact, the exhibit is entirely devoted to materials and methods used in the construction of two of the NAHB Research Institute's current Research Homes, located in South Bend, Ind., and Knoxville, Tenn. While experimental in their use of building innovations, both of these homes were built to be occupied by typical middle-income families. Their purpose is to prove that by taking advantage of the very latest time-and-labor saving equipment and materials, home builders can provide their customers with more house for their money in terms of living space, comfort and durability.

The Housing Center Research Exhibit features the outstanding products and techniques used in the construction of these experimental homes. On display are full-scale mock-ups and cutawavs of manv of the features of the "laboraiory" homes. Some of the exhibit highlights include :

-Exterior walls made up of 4 ft. by 8 ft. panel compollents. Each panel is a complete wall section which may include any one of a number of exterior finish materials and a variety of interior wall surfacing materials. Heart of the panel is a new polystyrene foamed plastic core which in addition to adding structural strength also serves as insulation and vapor barrier.

-Interior doors that run straight up to the ceiling. This method not only represents a dollars-and-cents saving of $12-15 per door, but provides better air circulation.

-A new system of framing window openings the in-place cost of each window to less than half of conventional systems, without any sacrifice in appearance or durability.

-Hardwood floor tiles, identical in size and shape to standard asphalt floor tiles and specially treated against swelling, shrinking, and warping.

Betfer Morket for Used Houses

Buying plans for new houses were 20/o lower in November-December 1958 than in the February-March periocl of the same year. Plans to buy used houses, ltowever, climbed 22/o higher than in the early part of the year, it was found in the Newsweek Continuing Study of Consumer Buying Plans conducted by the National Industrial Conference Board. Sindlinger & Company gathered and reported the findings based on 10,000 interviews among households throughout the country.

The peak in plans to buy new houses came, not surprisingly perhaps, in the month of April. Analysis of the findings by income and occupation indicates that those with plans to buy new houses are concentrated primarily within the higher income and occupational categories. Those with plans to buy used houses, on the other hand, are distributed more in proportion to total family income.

Gonstruction Requirement Chonges Reported in SCRIA Bulletin

The following Los Angeles "Construction Requirement Changes" are reported in a recent bulletin of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. by Orrie W. Hamilton, executive vice-president :

Scripture trnd Astronomy

Galileo said: "I am inclined to believe that the intention of the Sacred Scriptures is to give to mankind the information needed for their salvation. But I do not hold it necessary to believe that the same God who endowed us with senses, with speech, with intellect, intended that we should neglect the use of these, and seek by other means for knowledge which these are sufficient to procure for us; especially in a science like astronomy, of which so little notice is taken by the Scriptures that none of the planets except the sun and moon, and once or twice only Venus, are so much as named at all."

Be Gentle Wirh Her

"Yes, my boy, I reckon you can have her," sighed Old Man Hawkins to his daughter's suitor. "But take good keer of her, for she's been raised kinder tender like. Eight acres is all I ever ast her to plow between sun-up and dark. She can do light work, such as well-diggin' and steer brandin', but she ain't used to no rough stuff, so you'll have to be gentle with her."

Orofory

Oratory offers the acme of human delight; it offers the nectar that Jupiter sips; it offers the draught that intoxicates the Gods, the divine felicity of lifting up and swaying mankind. There is nothing greater on this earth. 'Tis the breath of the Eternal-the kiss of the Immortal.

Oratory is far above houses and lands, ofhces and emoluments, possessions and power. While it may secure all of these, it must not for a moment be classed with them. These things offer nothing that is worthy of a high ambition. Enjoyed to their fullest, they leave you hard, wrinkled and miserable. Get all they can give, and the hand will be empty, the mind hungry, and the soul shriveled.

Oratory is an individual accomplishment, and no vicissitudes of fortune can wrest it from the owner. It points the martyr's path to the future; it guides the reaper's hand in the present, and it turns the face of ambition toward the delectable hills of achievement. One great speech made to an intelligent audience in favor of the rights of man will compensate for a life of labor, will crown a career with glory, and give a joy that is born of the divinities. There is no true orator who is not also a hero. (By John P. Altgeld.)

Shocking?

An electrician was working on an emergency wiring job and he told his helper to take hold of the end of a wire. He did.

"Feel anything?" asked the boss.

"No," said the helper.

"Then don't touch that other wire. It's got 5,000 volts."

Will qnd Won't Power

Some people mistake will power for won't power. They think they're strong-minded when they're just obstinate. Will power is constructive-it urges things along. Won't power holds them back. The "will" man sees opportunity in a job. The "won't" man sees a task.

Every one of us is born with a will of some kind. Cultivated, it is likely to become a will in our own favor.

Out in the Fields

The little cares that fretted me, I lost them yesterday, Among the fields above the sea, among the winds at play, Among the lowing of the herds, the rustling of the trees, Above the singing of the birds, the humming of the bees. The foolish fears of what might pass, I cast them all away, Among the clover-scented grass, among the new-mown hay, Among the hushing of the corn, where drowsy poppies nod, Where ill thoughts die and good are bornOut in the fields of God.

Knew Them All

The teacher made her class a detailed talk on why Francis Scott Key is famous. When finished, she asked:

"Now, then, why is Francis Scott Key famous?"

And little Johnnie answered:

"Because he knew all the verses of the The Star Spangled Banner."

Phenomenol

Building

Level Seen for lt Western Stotes

Yosemite, Calif.. May 17Phenomenal levels of cot-tstruction in the 11 far Western states are compelling manufacturers of national brand-name building products to establish extensive manufacturing and distribution facilities in the Pacific Coast region, it was stated here today by James D. Young, general sales manager of Yale & Towne's lock and hardware division, at the Pacific Coast Builders' llardware Conference taking place at Yosemite National Park.

Mr. Young said that, "even in 1958, when construction was retarded by the recession, the percentage of increase of new non-residential building valuation in the 11 far Western states was more than three times that of the nation as a whole."

Even more indicative of the Pacific Coastal region's economic vigor, according to Mr. Young, was the "tremendous level of office building construction in the far West which in 1958 was 76/o greater than in 1957 as compared with a national increase of only l0%."

He also reported that in the first quarter of 1959, total construction awards in the West Coast states were 2l/o ahead of the first quarter of last year and that "every indication is that comparable gains will be registered during the balance of 1959."

Mr. Young said that the "economic development" of the Far West "is one of the most important forces affecting the planning of American business and is pulling the center of the nation's economy farther and farther west." He said that Yale & Towne has responded to this regional economic growth by building a manufacturing plant in San Leandro, California, establishing facilities in Los Angeles and, most

A remark worth reporting is that of Ex-President Hal A. Brown (who's full of 'em), when he introduced the pastor for the Invocation at the opening of the recent Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. convention at the Ambassador hotel. Said Dealer Brown to Dr. Paul F. Huebner of the First Methodist church, Inglewood:

Architectural hardware consultants from the far Western states, as well as executives of building material manufacturers, attended the three-day Yosemite conference.

Boord of Forestry Meeting

The State Board of Forestry met in regular session at Sacramento, May 26. This meeting was the official debut of Harry Hildebrand of Ukiah since his appointment as a board member. The agenda included continuation of the hearing for adoption of proposed amendments to the rules of the Redwood Forest Practiie District, a review of the state forester's revised instructions to fire control personnel for the suppression of forest fires on State Responsibility and Woods Operation Areas, appointment of a Board of Forestry representative to the County Timber Maturity Board's Redwood District, and a report by the U. S. Forest Service on the "Program for the National Forests." An election of officers was also to be held in accordance with Rule 3, Board Rules of Order.

Coloveros Gement Eorningt Up; Gompony, Gomplering Exponsion, Honors Pres. Mein Mileslone

Net earnings of Calaveras Cement Company for the first three months of 1959 totaled $317,980, against $5,087 for the corresponding period of last year, Wm. Wallace Mein, Jr., con-rpany president, told shareholders at the annual meeting.

Mein told the meeting that the company's wholly owned subsidiary, Stockton Building Materials Co., is building a new ready-mix plant at Lathrop. He also reported that merger of five Central Valley building materials and sand and gravel companies in which Calaveras owns 52/o interest was being comoleted. All directors were re-elected.

In a surprise presentation, Mr. Mein was given a gold watch in recognition of his 25 years of service with the company. The award was made on behalf of the Calaveras board by Director Louis J. Brunel, who supervised Mein's early work in the company's employ.

. Cautioning shareholders not to exp.ect similar comparative increases in earnings during the remainder of the year, N{ein pointed out that weather made the difference between the first (uarters of 1958 and 1959. "During January, February ancl March of 1958, heavy rains in Northern California caused postponement of many construction projects," he explained.- "In contrast, unusually dry weather this winter has had a favorable effect on construction activity and cement sales."

REDUCED RATES ON INTRASTATE LUMBER SHIPMENTS MADE PERMANENT BY P.U.C.

San Francisco.Reduced rates on railroad carlot shipments of lumber within California were made permanent Mav l3 bv the State i.ublrc U tllltles Lommlssron, which had granted the lower intrastate rates on an interim basis last Dec. 26 alter the Interstate Commerce Commission approved lower interstate rates.

Northern California lumber mills and producers asked the intrastate reduction to meet the new competition of southern Oregon mills shipping to Southern California lumberyards. The Southern California yards supported the in-the-state rate reduction but truckers opposed it, contending they would oDerate at a loss if they tried to match the lowered railroad rates.

Bob Jordine, OnJobDoily st 78 In Solono Beqch Retqil Yord, ls lnspirofion to the Younger Men

Robert K. Jardine, at the age of 28, is on the job daily at the Lumber & Builders Supply Co., Solana Beach, Calif., and his activity is an inspiration to the many younger men around him at the well-known retail yard. H. G. Larrick, Sr., chairman of the board and treasurer, who gathered a few facts about Bob Jardine from his wife, Joy Jardine, without Bob's knowledge, tells The California Lumber Merchant:

"I might add that Mr. Jardine works every day-a full day's work, checking invoices, and is doing a good job, holding up his end in team with younger people."

Robert K. Jardine was born in Manchester, England, January 23, 1881. He came to America as a small boy to make his home with an uncle and aunt after both his parents died. He grew to manhood in La Peer, Mich., where he graduated from high school and started his life's work in

a lumberyard, becoming manager of the business at the age of. 21.

He spent several years in that position before he moved to Grand Rapids, Mich., and started his own lumberyard, which he operated successfully for three years until he sold it to become secretary of the Grand Rapids Lumber Co., one of the largest operations in Michigan. Three years later he organized the Robert K. Jardine Lumber Co., which he operated several years and then sold it to a company consolidating a number of yards, and in which he became vice-president of the new company for five years.

Mr. Jardine has always been strong in civic activity. He served as vice-president of the Grand Rapids Associatior-r of Commerce, clirector of Builders and Traders, member of the Board of Public Works, director of the Michigan Lurnbermen's Association, the Welfare Union, Rotary, Elks, served as secretary of the Michigan State Hospital Commission for five years, was active in the Community Chest and was much in demand as a toastmaster and also as a soloist. He graduated as a lieutenant from the first Officer's Training Camp at Plattesburg, N.Y. During his years in lumber in Michigan, Bob Jardine alsc wrote for a lumber trade journal.

In the fina1 years of the depression, Mr. Jardine lost all his stocks, investments and his business and came to California in his late fifties to make a fresh start. He became affrliated with the old Hammond Lumber Compar.rv in its main office in Los Angeles and continued his good works serving as senior usher in the First Congregational church for 17 of the years he was with Hammond Lumber. In 1939 he met ar.rd married his present wife, Joy Languein, and continued with Hammond for 20 years until thev liquidated in 1956, and Mr. Jardine was forced at the age if 76'to onre more make a change and start out again in a new job.

Bob Jardine's dream had always been to live in a small town near the Pacific Oiean, .o he ruus most haopy when V. M. Capesius and his secretary, N{rs. Peterson, of the San Diego Lumbermen's Association, put him in touch with Heischell Larrick of the Lumber & Builders Supply in Solana Beach. Mr. Jardine gratefully accepted a position with the beach yard and is now .starting his third year with this splendid and esteemed organization. He is very h"ppy with his association and co-workers and thoroughly enjoys his walk of a mile or more to the office each morning with the tang of the sea air in his nostrils (and his eye to the future).

Bob Jardine's philosophy of life, along with his faith and indomitable courage, is an inspiring example to others as he continues along the path toward the sunset. He lives with his wife Joy in a modest, attractive home on a hillside overlooking a wide expanse of the Pacific where he spends his leisure hours with his books, music and working in his treasured garden.

'Let's Put Hoo-Hoo to Work'

By Ross G. Kincoid, Mcnoging Direclor, Western Reroil Lumbermen's Assn., Seottle

(Editor's Note: Address before Seattle Hoo-Hoo Club No. 34, March 25, t959, meeting)

My first recognition of the true value of Hoo-Hoo came some twelve years ago when, with the assistance of Del Daley of Weyerhaeuser Sales Company of Tacoma, we organized, a club in the Yakima Valley. It was my lot to serve as the club's head ofifrcer for the first two years after receiving our charter. I was deeply impressed by the caliber of the dedicated men who spark Hoo-Hoo.

Ray Saberson and Ben Springer installed our officers. Ray, then with Weyerhaeuser, has since retired, except that he is more active than ever in working for the good of all through his Lumber Dealers Merchandising Institute. He knows so well that our industry is no better than the men who are in it and, through his service, he is doing so much to enrich their job opportunities and their lives with a realistic training program.

Then that pistol, Ben Springer, the mighty little international secretary, whose headquarters are in Milwaukee it has been my good fortune to spend some time with Ben in his office. There is a man who steadfastly lives for HooHoo-he is a real BOOSTER !

As I review the years of my affiliation with this organization, I wonder whv it is that we have so manv times failed to envision or taki advantage of the tremendous potential of Hoo-Hoo. the fraternal order of lumbermen.

In my present capacity, I have a better opportunity to gain a revealing perspective from a point of view I have never had before-local, state, regional and national ; and I can see a real opportunity for Hoo-Hoo to be of service to

our great lumber industry in meeting some of -and we do have problems ! problems

Some wag has said that this industry is all arms and legs with no hea-d. While we cannot entirely accept this point of view, we sometimes present such an appearance to an outsider. Each element has its fun in taking digs at the others. Neither does it seem to change whether the market be lousy or good.

It is not news to state that the channels of distribution are somewhat muddied. They are made even more complex by the miracles of production. We now need some miracles of distribution-not only to cause the increasing supply to be consumed but to bring about this miracle without too much bloodshed. It is no secret that retailers, jobbers and manufacturers all feel that the other fellow is operating for the sake of expediency rather than for the long pull.

To illustrate my point, here is a story that is true according to the wholesaler who tells it: "I have a problem. I have two brothers. One is a contractor who buys from retailers. The other was just sentenced to death in the electric chair for murder. My mother died when I was three years old and I have two sisters who are no good and served time. My father sells narcotics. Now I have just met a girl who got out of the reformatory after serving a sentence for killing her mother. I love this girl very much and want to marry her. My problem is: should I tell this girl about my contractor brother who buys from retailers?"

You know that this could not be a true story. It is rather difficult these days to find a contractor who buys from retailers. In fact, one look at the price-structure of the average retail yard today would indicate that it's difficult to find a dealer selling at retail prices !

There is a great need for the various factors in this great industry to have a better understanding of the other fellow's problems. Empathy is the word that describes what we need-the ability to put one's self in the other fellow's shoes for a better understanding of his problem. Within the

PACIFIC HARDWOOD SATBS CO.

framework of Hoo-Hoo there is a good opportunity for this understanding to be developed. Certainly, it is the ONE organization that brings all the factors in the industry together.

We are all faced with a rapidly changing picture and find it almost impossible to keep up. It is a real challenge and it is our business to ioin our ranks in this industrv. gain a better perspective oi what is taking place and make some definite plans for assuring our industry's place in the scheme of things to come.

A recent sales clinic sponsored by the Seattle Sales Executive Club featured Herb True and Bill Cove. A packed house listened to these two experts in the sales fiCld tell it that if we were wise we would begin NOW to prepare for the explosive sixties. That a brand new concept-in selling must be developed to keep up with the economy. In our industry, it will require team effort, not each segment going its own way without a recognition of others involved. We shall face an added population of three million and tremendous advances in technology.

"Today's man is a kind of technological Adam, standing on the threshold of a new world of millions of discoveries-. It is the last generation on earth that will be able to look bac_k along the slow curve with the wisdom of experience, and yet look ahead to a new world on the upcurve. Each year from now on will see more technologicai change than formerly took place in a generation ! Technology which has moved at a slow crawl since the beginning of man has suddenly stood up and plunged into a fist spr:int."

Each of us in Hoo-Hoo has a vital concern in lumber as a part of the over-all construction industry that stands on the threshold of a whole new world. Eaih factor of our industrymanufacturer, jobber, retaileris represented within the framework of Hoo-Hoo as well as - those in forestry and educators in this field. We all have a stake in the future of wood proiucts in this new era and it is high time that we realistically work together for what is good for all of us.

^ At. our feb_r_uqry convention in Portland, Bob Gallagher, Snark of the lJniverse, told of the New Look now wor*n by Hoo-lIoo. He said that there is a growing realization of the tre_mendous p-otential of this organiza{ion that represents all factors of our lumber industry and that we are no longer just content to get together to see who could drink the most liquor, stay up the longest and tell the dirtiest stories; that, while it will always be great to get together

for some light-hearted fun, it is essential that we use our force effectively in some purposeful endeavor. And this, he stated, is taking place all over the country.

It now appears that a sleeping giant is waking up and that those with a stake in lumber's future are joining forces in bringing the story of lumber's practical and esthetic value tq the public. In Hoo-Hoo we have the only organization that ties everyone together from the forest to the ulti-

mate consumer. There is a real potential here and the efforts expended can and will bring a sense of real pride in belonging to such a group.

Oregon-Pocific Lumber Co. Opens First Golifornio Office in L.A.

A Los Angeles office-the firm's first in California-has been opened by OregonPacific Lumber Co., nationwide shippers, wholesale distributors and manufacturers, according to Jack Saltzman, president. The Los Angeles office is headed by Ralph Cardwell (right), who will hang his hat at 7668 Telegraph Road.

WHOLESALE ONIY

No newcomer to the California lumber scene, Cardwell previously represented the Wood Preserving Division of Koppers Company and before that was with Dant & Russell in Los Angeles. He is a graduate of University of California, where he won his degree in business administration, specializing in marketing. Cardwell will also reDresent Oregon-Pacific Plywood Corp., an affiliate of Oregon-Pacific Lumber. The two firms are headquartered in their own building in Portland, with branch offices in Denver and British Columbia, as well as Los Angeles, and sales representatives across the country.

Fast-rising Oregon-Pacific, founded in 1949, prides itself on its "controlled production" from more than-200 selected mills in the Pacific Northwest. But the firm is equally proud of its ability to fill unusual orders at any time.

A recent example of this was the shipment of 24 sticks of select structural Dorrglas fir 100 feet long to the Lehigh \ralley Railroad at Jersey City, N. J. Load-

ing of the tremendous timbers-on two 65-foot flat cars-attracted national press coverage.

Oregon - Pacific Plywood follows the same policy as the lumber conrpany. It maintains a large distributing warehouse at Portland that also serves as a concentration point for difficult items. It also prides itself on its ability to supply any type of plywood and recently established ar.r Importing division and rrow distributes imported as well as domestic plywoods throughout the U.S.

Opening a California office has long been an Oregon-Pacific objective, but it was not rrntil freight rate adiustments made Pacific Northwest lumber and plywood more competitive in the Southland that this was regarded as f easible, Mr. Saltzmarr explains.

"IrA-e hope our association with the California market will be a long and useful one to all concerned," he ad<is.

The California Lumber Merchant

Los Angeles 14, California

Attached you will find a copy of a clipping from The Porterville Evenirrg Recorder of May 5, 1959.

(copv)

LETTERS Arnn rECo.

A bench warrant has been issued by the Porterville Justice Court for the arrest of a man convicted "in absentia" of defrauding Paul Hosfeldt, owner of the Porterville Equipment Rentals.

Judge George A. Carter ordered the trial to continue against Earl Girard Thursday after the defendant failed to appear in court. The court noted that all Girard's rights had been observed. An attorney appointed to defend him withdrew from the case after Girard failel to contact him more than once,

Deputy District Attorney John Morgan presented evidence that Girard, of Hilmar, had sold Hosfeldt less lumber than the Porterville man paid for last August. Witnesses testified that Girard delivered 964 feet of lumber less than Hosfeldt paid for.

The court ordered that Girard's bail bond of $500 be forfeited and that a bench warrant be issued for his arrest. The misdemeanor complaint of fraud, a section of the business and professional code, was issued by District Attorney Jay Ballanytyne shortly after he took office last January.

The action was taken at the request of F. C. Johnston, county sealer of weights and measures, following an investigation by Johnston's office and the West Coast Lumbermen's Association.

Hosfeldt named Girard and four others in a civil suit earlier this year in which he seeks the return of $2,450 which he claims he paid for the lumber.

I was first contacted by J. W. McCutcheon, the building inspector for Tulare County. He reported the stock bore a WCLB grade stamp and the actual grade was below the grade indicated by the stamp. I told him to send a sample of the stamp and all the information to our XIr. Horvard Brorvn in the Portlancl office at.rd he 'lvould orobablv have the Los Angeles offlce investigate.

A few days later I received all the correspondence and lvas instructed to oroceed to Porterville and insoect this one truckload. I lvas told it had been represented ai Standard & Better and the man (Hosfeldt) had paid $70 per thousand. I found about 30 pieces showing a \ATCLB construction stamp with no name or mill number on it, also no "R" in a circle. I do not knorv if this stamp was a fake or one that had been stolen from a mill and altered by someone. If a fake, it was a real good copy.

On inspecting this load, I found only about l0 pieces of Standard & Btr. grade with a small portion of Utility grade and the bulk of Economy grade and culls about equal to the total of Utility found.

I had met McCutcheon in Visalia and he went to Porterville with me where we met Mr. F. C. Johnston, the sealer of weights and measures for Tulare County, and two of his deouties who measured and tallied each oiece after I had grided and tallied each one under the proper grade. I was subpoenaed to appear in court on April 30 after the trial had been postponed four times on the request of Girard's attorney. Neither Girard nor his attorney showed up at this iurv trial so Girard was tried "in absentia."

- i was one of the five witnesses called to the stand, after which the case was decided by the jury in very short order. They reached a verdict of "Guilty" on the first show of hands. The whole trial, including selection of jury, only took a little over one hour.

The matter of the fake stamp was not brought up at this trial but will be at the time Hosfeldt's suit is heard. There are several warrants, including one from Arizona, awaitinq Mr. Girard, which may have been a big factor in his NOT appearing at this trial. The Sealer of Weights and Measures is one way to combat these fly-by-night truckers.

Yours very truly,

Ken Jorgensen, District Supervisor, West Coast Lumber Insoection Bureau 1040 Paloma Ave., Burlingime, California.

Mr. Dulaney was initiated into Hoo-Hoo at Concat No. 840, January 13, 1903, in Minneapolis, Minn. He played a prominent role during the reorganization days of the International Concatenated Order. On August 18-19, 1938, members of the order were invited to a general convention session after which the Reorganization committee appointed nine members of the order to the Supreme Nine. Assignments to the various offices were not made, with the exception of George W. Dulaney, who was selected for the Snark of the lJniverse following the reorganization. On January 16, 1939, a joint meeting of the committee and the new Supreme Nine was held in Minneapolis. The meeting approved the selection of Mr. Dulaney for Snark and, upon formal balloting by the Nine, he was duly elected. He was re-elected Snark at the 49th annual convention in Chicago in 1940 and held the hiqhest office until succeeded in l94l at the Golden Jubilee lonvention in Hot Springs, Ark., by Don S.

George Dulaney also won a measure of international fame as the founder of the "Society for the Prevention of Calling Sleeping Car Porters George." He was, in fact, known throughout the world for this flight of fancy which he started nearly 45 years ago. The Society counted kings of England and Greece among its world membership of 13,000. Mr. Dulaney started the organization after being frequently irritated when train passengers kept calling "George," and Mr, Dulaney looked around to see who was hailing him. International publicity given the Society resulted in the posting of signs in Pullman cars listing the porters' names. Anyone named "George" was assured of

Long-Bell Division to Move Mqin Operotions From Longvieq Wqsh.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Long-Bell Lumber division of International Paoer Co. will move its main West Coast lumber and plywood operations from the sawmill and lumber torvn of Longview, Wash., closer to its Douglas fir timberlands in southwest Washington. LongBell rvill close its sawmill and adjacent plywood plant in mid-1960, the newspaper said, rvhen it opens a modern lumber and plyrvood facility at Chelatchie Prairie, 42 miles away. The closings would not affect the company's other opeiations in Longview, said J. D. Leland, vice-president in charge of the Long-Bell division. International Paper will maintain a woodworking factory, wood-treating plant, research and development laboratory and West Coast operations office at Longview.

Longview, Wash., a city now of more than 20,000 people,

was started by the old Long-Bell Lumber Co. in 1923. For many years the community depended on the sawmill as its livelil-rood. "Obsolete equipment and inflexible production methods at Longview, plus increasing costs of moving logs to the mill, are main reasons for the switch from Longview," said a company spokesman. I-ong-Bell is now hauling logs as many as 50 miles by rail to the Longview plant. The Chelatchie Prairie sawmill and olywood olant are close to a 27,}Cf.-acre tract of Douglas fir'timber'recently purchased by Long-I3ell from Harbor Plywood Corp.

They all declared "a most profitable day-well. spe-nt" and suggested another session be scheduled-promising-further inielligent approach to their merchandising problems from what they learned at the clinic.

The first step in planning the meeting was tl-re following form letter *hich was senl out early in March by ProfitPlanning Research, Inc., the subsidiary of Lumber Service Co., to -sound out the lumber-dealer interest in such a gathering:

- Paul Hollenbeck has conducted two Profit-Planning Clinics in the Southern California area for dealers in the metropolitan Los Angeles area. Out of those clinics, an interest has been expressed for the same type of clinic to be held in the San Bernardino-Riverside area.

There are many topics discussed and analyzed by Mr. Hollenbeck in his clinics. which are not of the "Ivory-Tower" approach, but rather brought to the dealer in a realistic manner.

Some of the problems confronting dealers today are: How Can Our Firm-Increase Profits in 1959? Improve Capital Investment Ratios? Increase Sales? . . . Know Where We Stand Each Month? Increase Inventory Turn? Meet Competition at a Profit?

Major Subjects to Be Covered During the Clinic

l. How to Create a Profit Plan

2. Pricing Merchandise to Fit the Plan

3. Specific Sales Catcgories

4. Gross Profit Requirements for Classification of Sales

5. Specific Overhead by Classification of Sales

6. Profit Analysis

7. Inventory Analysis

8. Accounts Receivable Analysis

9. Sales Forecasting

10. Expense Budgeting

11. Profit and Loss and Financial Statement Explanations.

This one day with Paul Hollenbeck can substantially help you and your 6rm realize a better return on your investment in the months and years ahead. You will get an easy-to-understand-easyto-,put-into-operation-and thoroughly practical pricing concept, which is today helping hundreds of dealers throughout the country gain the reward of greater profits to which they are entitled.

Those who have attended the clinics all testify to the fact that they were beneficial to them in making an intelligent approach to better profit in relation to the invested capital. The answers to these problems an<l to your specific ones are answered by concrete examples and formulae, so that you have a very clear picture of the problem and how to correct it.

If there is enough interest expressed by the dealers in your area,

Hollanbeck's closs of Kite-oreo dmlers tokes luncheon breok ol lvtrsslon Inn the clinic will be held. It will be for one day, starting at 9:00 a.m. and finishing at 4:30 p.m. The cost, which includes a Hollenbeck Profit-Planning Manual, lunch and two cofiee breaks, is only $39.00 per person.

Because of other clinics planned, the date that is available for this clinic is March 24th. To help us make a decision, will you please indicate your interest on the enclosed postal card.

Yours very truly, Profit Planning Research, IncLynn Dawson.

The green fir market remained strong and steady at peak-price leve1s in the period ending May 22, reports Crow's Lumber Market News Service, Portland, Ore. Utility and Better grade studs pushed up; in Dimension, 2xl0 was hottest, with 2x72 almost as strong. There was more price strength in Standard & Btr grade plank and small squares, while tim'bers showed more life. Utility dimension was easier to buy at unchanged prices. Fir dimension for water shipment was steady; prices strong. Because o{ strong prices and demand on fir, buyers oftln turned to other species where possible; Hemlock, both green and dry, enjoyed rising dernand and prices. Key widths of No. 4 common ponderosa pine boards advanced a little; resawn pine boards were strong, No. 2 common boards slow but No. 3 common boards were more activi after a slight price recession. Dry white fir and green fir and larch dimension made some advances, Shipments of 478 mills reporting to the National Lurnber Manufacturers Assn. in the week ending May 16 were 0.5/o below production but orders were 8.2/o above. Orders of 123,468,835 feetwere 9.2/o above production at 146 mills reporting (140 operating) to the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn. in the week ending May 16; ihipments were 1.3/o below.
