"Go \Yest Young Man" Said Horace GreeLv

(The following is the address delivered by President Edu'ard W. Conklin. to the National-American Wholesale Lumber Association, May 19, at Colorado Springs, Colorado.)

"Go west young man and grow up with the country'"

More than a hundred I\Iay Days have come and gone since a bewhiskered a.nd bespectacled editor of the New York Tribtune, Horace Greeley by name, publicized these now famous words of advice from the pen of an Indiana newspaperman'

And this National-American Wholesale Lumber Association has waited until it $'as over sixty years old before heeding that advice by holding a meeting for the first time west of the Mississippi River. Measured by the life span of a human being, that seems too long to wait. But, as I said a year ago' an organization, in contrast to an individual, can gather strength and vitality with advancing years.

To you, the members and guests of the National-American, the decision to hold this meeting in Colorado Springs-some 2000 miles west of the Atlantic Seaboard-where this Associa- tion was born and nurtured through its early years, should be evidence of youthful vigor. "Rarin' to go places" is an attribute of youth-not age.

Meeting here at one of the gateways to the Rockies, should remincl you of the changes which have taken place in our industry during the last 40 years or, since your Association came of age, so to speak. Prior to the first world n'ar, lumber wholesalers operating west of the Mississippi were few in number' Our membeis were located almost entirely in the East-most of them in places like Boston, New York and Philadelphia' Today, about fifty per cent of our members are from places west of the Mississippi and a goodly number from places west of the Rockies. As individuals, many of us, or otlr parents or grandparents, must have heeded Greelev's advice before the rlays of the streamliner and the strato-cruiser'

What has brought about this change?

Probably the great rvestward shift of population has had rnuch to do with it. But isn't it also the result of the westward rnigration of sawmill operators and the realization that efficient distribution requires wholesalers near the source of production as u'ell as near the point of consumption-a point which is no longer fixed on the Atlantic Seaboard but, thanks to the rievelopment of our country, moves all over the map, from Portland, Maine to Miami, Florida and from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico not to mention the western states which are now both producing and consuming areas'

Were Horace Greeley sitting with us today, I'm sure his e),es would be fairly popping behind his steel-rimmed spectacles at the beauty of this hotel and its surroundings' And I'm equally sure he would be more than satisfied with the sinccre and earnest type of men he would find attending this con'r,ention. But, having lived in the Cays of rugged individualism, I suspect he might find it hard to understand how a group of competitors could be persuaded to come together, as we have, to discuss common problems and to share the comlnon benefits

\\'e expect to derive from our discussions and from talks by c,ur guests today and tomorrow.

You see history tells us that for about 150 years, or from around 1700 to around 1850. there existed in all business a spirit of freebooting competition with unrestrained and unregulated rivalry-"srery man for himself and the devil take the hindmost." Business proprietors in any particular trade mrely had a personal acquaintance, knowihg each other only by name and usually having a pretty poor opinion of each other because of this sharp competition and business rivalry.

But shortly after the time of Horace Greeley, trade unions began to develop. Demands by labor for better working conditions and better pay prompted employers to organize to deal with this new situation. Brought together over labor difficulties, they discovered that the old so-and-so in the next block or the next town wasn't such a bad egg after all. They learned to respect their competitors and warm friendships often developed. They began to talk to each other about trade problems and soon saw the wisdom combined action in securing trade reforms. Thus was the trade association born.

Among the earliest trade associations n'ere the American Bureau of Shipping and the American Iron & Steel Institute, the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers and the National Association of Wool \'lanufacturers. By 1900 there were approximately 100 national trade associations of which our parent, the National \\'holesale Lumber Dealers Association, was one. But by 1950 there were upwards of l5(X) such national trade associationi plus 500 or more regional associations. Among them w'ere some 65 national groups composed of people who manufactured, distributed or used forest products.

The rapidly mounting barrage of government interference r.vith private enterprise over the past 20 years no doubt had much to do rvith the recent rapid growth in the number and strength of trade associations. But a political revolution last Noveniber has given us an administration in Washington which seems to have an appreciation of the important part business plays in our national welfare-a realization that we in the United States must be strong economically and spiritually, as well as militarily, and that we can't be strong unless we have a reasonable amount of freedom from restraint and heavy taxation. We even have a former lumberman as the top White House assistant to the President. Perhaps therefore our prob' lems of needless government regulation and interference can be resolved for the time being in favor of nrore pertinent problems such as trade Promotion.

\Ve wholesalers of forest products have a mighty big stake in the forest products industry. Many a retait lumber dealer has become a sort of department store proprietor with his sales of paint, hardware, asphalt shingles and even stoves and reirigerators. To him it makes little difference whether he sells a truckload of cement or a truckload of 2x4's-a steel sash or (Continued on Page 14)

Charlie Buckner died just a short time ago. His death was a significant event in the history of the lumber industry, because his life and the work that he did during that lifetime, made an impression on this industry second to that of perhaps just one man. *

Charlie Buckner was a prophet. fle was just as much of a prophet in his time as old Isaiah was in his time. And you can add several other names of the soothsayers of the Old Testament to the list, and the statement above will still Prevail'

He was a prophet with regard to Douglas Fir Plywood. He was THE prophet in that respect. And the development and extended use of that material is the most momentous advance that has ever been made in the lumber industrlr of the West.

Perhaps the only a.".rJprri.tJ"rra "n"rrge in the lumber industry of the nation that eclipses in importance the coming of Plywood, was the coming of practical reforestation and tree growing. Today the entire industry, wherever lbcated, is in the tree growing business. That is the biggest thing that ever happened to this industry, because it has completely reborn the industry.

For more than a *.t.J.tJr, 1r,", .t " beginning of the present century the lumber manufacturing business had but one thought; cut your timber and move. Today from coast to coast and from tJre Gulf to Canada, we know better. But it took us a long time to find it out. And we owe it almost entirely to another prophet-the greatest of them all-the late Henry Hardtner, of Louisiana. Fifty years ago-more than that in fact-Henry Hardtner knew everything about practical reforestation and commercial tree growing that the wisest of the industry knows now. He lirrew it and could prove it.

But for a generatio" lnJ, i" "."r."a practicing and preaching the marvels that could be done with tree growing, most of the industry clung to the old-timey idea that you cut your virgin timber and move on. The smartest men in the industry listened to Mr. Hardtner, and laughed up their sleeves.

Let us mention one case in particular that we knew

about. We will menuon no names. Both ttc principals are dead, and both were 6ne men. One of them was sawing second-growth Southern Pine in a Southern district back in 1912. A friend drove by and stoppcd for a visit T'lre visitor owned a lot of virgin Pine and a string of big mills***

He looked at the logs on the carriage and said to the mill operator: "Are you cutting second-growth timber?" The other allowed that he wag The first man said to hin: "Any man that cuts second-growth timber will dways scratch a poor man's head." ***

The point of the story is that the visitor in this casc cut all his virgin timber, and then went to cutting sccondgrowth, and practicing reforestation and tree growing. When he died the fact was known that he had made several times as much money AFTER he cut out his big trees and started cutting second-growth as he did on his great virgin forest. Others, many of them, have since learnsd that lesson' * * *

Henry Hardtner was the other prophet besides Charlie Buckner that we have known in the business world. Just those two. The difference between ttre two is +!at they laughed at Henry Hardtner for his "absurd" ideas about growing trees for market. Buckner never had to go through that because when he hit the plynrood industry it was in its infancy, and the industry was not loaded down with preconceived notions about it. The industry knew nothing of plywood, and knew that it knew nothing.

The lumber industry i."*"ol. that it knew all about timber growth, and knew that what Henry Hardtncr preached could not be done. Away back in l9l8 the writer of this piece went to Urania, Louisiana, and tr. Hardtner took him through his woods and showed him what he was doing, and thus what could be done. \f,/e went home and printed a story about it in THE GULF COAST LUUBERMAN (the LUMBER MERCHANT was not yet born), and had a letter from Mr. Hardtner saying that we were the first visitor he'd ever had who seemed to understand what he was doing.

we were proud "rth"i r;J but do you know solaething, Junior? Even then we were not dead surc in our own mind that he was right. We still said to ourself, "It takes 60 years to grow a short leaf Pine and nearly a hundred to grow a long leaf Pine, so who cares?" The great big light concerning selective cutting, selective logging,

timber protection, and modern harvesting had not fully penetrated our thick skull. ***

We were like the old fashioned doctor we once heard about. Two generations back the medical profession would give practically no water to a typhoid fever sufferer; and how marry millions of humans died of thirst before they found out how wrong they were, the Lord in His infinite mercy only knows. But one day a man who was burning up with typhoid proved.to be a free thinker, and thereby became a world benefactor. He said to himself, "If I'm going to die anyway, I'm going'to get me a drink FIRST." ***

So he crawled out of bed when no one was watching and got a big pitcher of ice water, and drained it to the {regs. And when the frightened family brought the old fashioned doctor rushing in, he took his temperature and found it was lower; he took his pulse and found it was slower; and there was tnoisture on the fevered brow. But the old fashioned doctor couldn't even see this bright light that the Lord Himself was holding up in front of his eyes. He just threw up his hands and said: "My God, what a constitution this guy's got !" ***

But time prevailed and today the entire lumber industry is trying to do the things with regard to tree growing that Henry Hardtner was telling them fifty years ago. And that other great prophet, Charlie Buckner lived to see his'own mighty prophecies with regard to the future of plywood, fully sustained. *t*

He has been dropping into our office at frequent intervals since 1925, at which time Harbor Plywood hired him as research and sales engineer. And we came to recognize in him a master in his chosen profession. He believed right from the start-and that was in the days when plywood was almost utterly unlrrown-that you could make anything out of Fir plywood with .the possible exception of chocolate ice cream. He admitted no limits to the possibilities of his chosen commodity.

we have written "uool nL;*" times in these columns, and probably will in future even though he is gone, because we believe that he deserves recognition and credit from the Fir plywood industry. We have known few men of great vision during our 6fty years senring and writing about the ltrmber industry, and he was a toP one. It would be an act of pure justice if the Fir plywood industry would in some definite fashion memorialize Charlie Buckner. If the industry belonged to us we'd build him a monument. Great men come seldom, and he was sure one. ***

We wrote about him on this same space back in 1943, these words: "Verily this Charlie Buckner is a prophet in his own right. And this is one time and place where the Biblical statement that 'a prophet is not without honor save in his own country,' doesn't hold water. In his own country-the plywood production country-he is known as prophet, engineer, economist, merchandiser, and all-around plywood specialist. He knows his stuff from all angles,

scierttific, practical, and otherwise. We have come to the conclusion after long years of watching and listening to him and noticing how his opinions turn out, ttat he comes aboutas near knowing'his stuff as any man we evcr knew." We still think so.

***

With a commodity that in 1925 was about as crude and experimental as anything ever was, he still saw the light. He saw plywood used in as many fashions as it is now, improved and scientifically prepared for hundreds of specific uses as it is today, and sweeping thc building world as a material giant long needed. That, according to our notion, is what the word "prophet" means. If he wasn't one, then theie have never been any.

***

So we cdt attention again to these two great men in tbe lumber industry who solved problerns whose answcrs were not to be found in the back of the book.

lrvin Cobb's Best Story

Of all the Irvin Cobb stories I ever heard or read, the following has always been my favorite:

It was just about the middle of a hot summer day in a Southern city, and a tall, lazy-looking negro was sitting in the shade of a postoak tree on the corner. He was broke but unworried.

Just then the noon whistles burst forth with their screeching noises, and the street came suddenly alive. Out

Clif Roberts, general manager of Ilenson l-umber Company, San Diego, and Mrs. Roberts spent last u'eek end visiting friends in the San Fernando \ralle,v. San Gabriel and Arcadia.

Charlie Kendall, Kendall returned last u'eek from a bara way.

\\rholesale l-umber Compan-r', short vacation up Santa Bar-

of stores, and offices, and factories peoplc came hurrying to wherever they were going for the noon hour. Evcrywhere there were sign of human activity, and bustle, and rush.

Our hero, sitting in the shade, watched all this as he chewed on a straw, and then reflected aloud:

"To mos' foits that means dinnah-time; but it jus' means twelve o'clock to me !"

Harry White and Sterling Wolfe, Harr_v H. \\'hite \\rholesale Lumber distributors. returned the first of the month from -\rcata and San Francisco s'here thev had been on an extended business trip.

Lloyd Webb is presentlv managing the Softrroods Department for F-. J. Stanton & Son. He formerll' handled procuremelrt at the mills for the same organization.

The Ability Wood

Tn" W*t Coast Hemlock (Tsrga Heterophylta) is a superior type of Hemlock that grows in the mild, moist climate of the Pacific Northwest. Straightgraitted and uniform in texture, it takes a beautiful finish, whether natural or painted. It is stiff and strong-and is available in stress grade items.West Coast Hemlock is exceptionally easy to cut and shape, and is free from pitch, checking and splintering. It nails securely with a minimum of splitting.

PROPER PROCESSING "'I{EMLOCK

O Weyerhaeuser takes this abundant Ability Wood and through scientific logging, accurate sawing, controlled kilnseasoning, precision surfacing, proper grading, careful handling and shipping, produces a wide range of 4-Square West Coast Hemlock lumber products.

These qualities make West Coast Hemlock ideal for a wide variety of uses for so many uses that it is known as the Ability Wood. As Weyerhaeuser 4-Square West Coast Hemlock bevel or bungalow siding, paneling, flooring, ceiling, boards and dimension, shelving, moulding or other products, it invariably earns the respect and admiration of the user. These West Coast Hemlock products are used where the dependable service of multi-purpose softwood species are desired.

The fact that Weyerhaeuser 4Square West Coast Hemlock gives excellent service inside and outplus the fact that abundant supplies are available -makes it one of the most desirable multi-use species to stock and to seII. Ask yourWeyerhaeuner District Representative about this abundant Ability Wood or write for descriptive literature.

Here you see o pleosing use of West Coost Hemlock in modern cobinei conslruction.

one made of wood. He probably feels there is little to be lost if forest products follow the horse and buggf into oblivion. But to most of us here today that would be a deplorable and even tragic development.

It could happen but it doesn't have to happen-not if our manufacturing friends will concentrate a little more on reesarch to improve their product, eliminate needless lvaste and so reduce the cost of manufacture ; not if they cooperate a little more closely with us, who are concerned with distribution; not if some of the time and money spent in trying to promote Fir against Yellow Pine or Western Pine against Eastern Pine were spent in promotir.rg forest products against steel, concrete, glass of gypsum.

How often does the public see anything in the press extolling the virtues of lumber-its warmth and beauty, its character, its insulating value, its easy adaptability and ready convertibility? People read plenty about its infirmities but almost nothing about its virtues.

And wholesalers, who are the distributors of more than 60/o of. the lumber produced in these United States, must zrwaken to their responsibility for better public relations and a better selling job. Let's not allow our lumber industry to be called a "Tongue-Tied Giant" as it was not long ago by a Chicago .advertising man.

Ancl I sure don't need to remind you the easv pickings our salesmen have had for the last ten years are rapidly becoming just a pleasant mem'ory. No longer are we going to be able to send rnen out into the field equipped with nothing more than a price list, an order book and a smile expecting tl-rem to bring home a lr'hole side of bacon while we trv to break 90 on the golf course.

Yes, fellows, things have changed plenty since Horace Greeley's day and they have changed even since u'e last met irr Chicago just a year ago. The tempo of change in this atomic age promises to increase rather than diminish. Our best bet for meeting these changes would seem to lie in whole-hearted support of your trade association. The fact that you are heresome of you at considerable expense and at a tirne when the going is a bit rough-shows your interest. trIy plea is for l continuation of that interest, not only throughout these two

Holmes Eureka Lumber Company

Celebratcs Fiftieth Anniversary

Holmes Eureka Lumber Company is celebrating its Golden Anniversary this month. The sure, steady progress of this company from standing start to its present solid position in the great Redwood lumber industry, is worthy of a celebration. "Those 50 years," said Fred Holmes, company president, "are packed with all the ups and downs, all the trials and tribulations of a 'lifetime.' They w'ere, as a whole, successful, exciting years; and presented a wonderful example of what is commonly called free enterpri,se-the type of enterprise that has made this nation great."

Like so many real life success stories, this one started with the dreams, aspirations, energy and foresight of one man, Joseph Henry Holmes, founder of the company. And, as is so often the case, behind the man there stood a u.oman to inspire, encourage and believe in him. The woman-his loving wife, who still takes an intense interest in the company, and keeps in touch with what's going on, from her home in Berkeley, California. Joe Holmes was the hardy type. He developed his calloused hands as a youth, while farming in Illinois; then as a citrus rancher in Ontario. California. Hard work and life outdoors gave him great strength and good health for pioneering in the lumber business. It was in 1888 that J. H. Holmes started his lumber career in Phoenix, Arizona, at the age of 31. They rode the crest of the building boom until the bust of 1893. Old timers recall that terrible vear, when people suddenly found they could neither collect nor pay what was owing. J. H. Holmes stood by his obligations. It took vears to pay in full, working as a salesman for the Saginaw Lumber Company and managing one of their retail yards, which they later sold.

Mr. Holmes saw an opportunity in the town of Kingman, Arizona, where two retail yards were bleeding themselves to death by senseless price competition. He stopped the ruinous situation by buying out both yards. The mines around Kingman and Chloride, Arizona, were active and the retail lumber venture prospered, so that in the year 1901 Mr. Holmes was able to sell out profitably and seek greater opportunities. He had the vision to turn his attention to the possiblities offered by Redwood lumber. It was in February, 1903, that he moved the family to Eureka, California. There he selected what proved to be a perfect location for a sawmill. Holmes Eureka Lumber Company was incorporated on June 24 of that year. Most of the original money for this new venture came from the friends which Mr. Holmes made in Arizona. A one-band sawmill was built. The company took root and started to grow. Many new stockholders came in. "In these days of the inflated dollar, it is hard to believe," observes Fred Holmes, "that a company could start with 58,000 shares of stock at $1 par value. My father, J. H. Holmes, subscribed for 16,437 shares. He was naturally elected president and general manager and the records show that his salary was $150 per month."

He served as president until he passed away in 1939. \\ialter H. Dalton then became president; and on his death, in December, 1942, Fred V. Holmes, son of the founder, was elected president and continues in that capacity as active head of the company.

Those early records shou'that the directors w'anted "Holmes" as part of the company name, because it would be an asset to the new corporation. They also rvished to have the rrord "Eureka" included-"Eureka" for the citv of their opportunity. So they put both names together as the "Holmes Eureka Lumber Company." The initials were used to give the company its famous trade mark "H-E Brand Redwood."

The company continued steadily to grow and for years operated its own lumber carrying vessel, the S.S. "Katherine." Those w'ere the days of lumber schooners, when the only transportation was by boat, and almost all the Redrrood shipped was rough green. Today the railroad and highwal- transport takes the place of cargo shipments' Holmes Eureka, ever abreast of the times, maintains a fast lumber truck service that extends all over Northern California. It is an essential part of the company's way of doing business, giving the retailer fast service on quick-turnover items. By maintaining a lumber inventory of some 16 to 18 million feet to be air dried, it gets maximum results out of ten large dry kilns; and gives a supply of Certified Dry Redwood, so much in favor that rnany retail lumbermen specify it for their own homes. I-arge inventory and modern facilities for quick shipment enables the dealer to keep his own inventory to the minimum and still give good service to his customers.

This company, *'hich started in such a small u'a-v, has built itself up out of earnings. It has never gone out after volume, but continues as a two-band mill, cutting about l-10,000 feet per day, on a 4Ghour week. Said a spokesman for the company, "It is remarkable what has happened in recent vears after the lumber leaves the headsarv. That is where the real improvements and refinements have taken place. Su'edisl'r gang salvs, resaws, ripsaws, the best planing mill machinerl' and the most modern transportation equipment, both lifts and carriers, have revolutionized the whole operation."

In addition to its own production, Holmes Eureka op€rates a buying department under the name of Freervav Lumber Sales. It ships direct from outside affiiliated mills under the "Freeway" brand; but all lumber from the Holmes Eureka plant goes out under the H-E brand and is carefully graded or re-graded so as to justify the reputation of the top qualitv H-E Redu'ood. The company sells throughout the East and \{iddle \\'est through its wholly-ou'ned subsidiary, Redwood Sales Company. All such sales of H-E Redu'ood are delivered under the "Sequoia" Brand, as the product of Holnres Eureka

Lumber Company--New Plans

NIr. Walter Ehrlich, new president and general lnanager of \\'estern Hardwood Lumber Companv, has announced that aggressive plans have been rnade to increase the inventories. facilities and distribution of his cornpany. No changes in operating personnel are planned, assuring continuance of the same high standards of service and quality offered in the past.

During the last twenty years, Mr. E"hrlich has been exceptionally active in the lumber business. At the present tirne he is president tof the Pacific Crate Cornpany, u'hich rvas founded by his father, Percy Ehrlich, in 1930. This concern sert'es the California fruit and produce industries, and r.naintains offices in Los Angeles, Imperial Valley, Fresno, and Watsonville.

Another of Mr. l-hrlich's lumber activities includes a partnership in the firm Ilhrlich & Ross of San Francisco. This frrm is engaged in the redwood business, and their overall operation includes logging, milling, distribution and sales.

In addition to their general u'holesale lumber activities, Western Hardwood Lumber Company will continue to suppll' the lumber industry on the West Coast rvith cornplete stocks of both imported and domestic hardwoods. Business transactions in the East will be handled through companv representatives located in the principal cities in the eastern section of the country.

Double circular sawmills very large Douglas fir pine

were first developed to handle the timber of the Pacific Northvyest.

The eighth annual Southern California Construction Industrial Exposition and Home Show opened an eleven-da1' run on June 4 at the l'an-Pacific Auditorium in l-os Angeles. The forrr-rr.rillion-dollar event is sponsored by the Los Angeles Char.rrber of Cornmerce and 13 Soutbland building trade associations, and is featuring exhibits of hundreds of products of the local building industries, including trvo ultra-modern rnodel homes. The latest developments in the line of home and commercial construction, building materials and designs, and home furnishings har-e been displal'ed and demonstrated. Last 1'ear's attendance passed the 200,000 mark, and this vear's figures are expected to exceed that total. Spike Jones and his orchestra furnished the entertainment.

rlVtry Wooden F. D. Ladders Are Best

\\'hen the fire commissioner of the citl' of Chicago insisted that ladders ordered for his department be of rvood, the mayor asked his reasons, u'hich he supplied as follorvs:

Firemen could be electrocuted if a metal ladder touched a live r+'ire.

\\'ood does not warp under intense heat, nor snap under extreme cold, as metal sometimes does.

If a wooden ladder burns the danger can be easily seen, w'hereas metal can buckle suddenlv and rvithout u'arning rvhen overheated.

Wooden ladders are easier to repair.

In cold u'eather firemen's gloves or bare skin freeze and stick to metal ladders if u'et.

The Public Doesn't Want "Cotmon" ... An Editorial

The lumber manufacturing industry has always been a terrific rut-rider.

fts greatest fault has long been the fact that it just wouldn't stand off and watch itself go by, and ask the why of many things.

As an example. For fully two generations almost all sawmills built high tramways to carry the lumber from the tail of the sawmill to the yard.

These high roadways built of heavy planking and timbers cost a lot to build, a lot for up-keep, and made the handling of the lumber very expensive. Yet it looked like nobody ever would ask why.

Then, not more than two decades ago, a big lumber manufacturer got up in a great convention of mill men, brought up the subject of the high plank roads at the mills, and asked WHY?

And five hundred men turned and looked at one another, almost in bewilderment. None of them had ever thought of it before. The fact was that lumber could be transported about the mili plant on the ground with far more economy, far more safety, and far more efficiency.

Result, down came the high trams, and up came the black topped roadways, that cost little to build and almost nothing for up-keep. Thus are great changes made. If that one man hadn't risen in that meeting and popped that vital question it is more than probable that the sawmills generally would still be building mill roadways on high and expensive stilts.

A change of just as great importance is threatening the lumber manufacturing industry right now, in the West at least. The West Coast Lumbermen's Association, headquarters Portland, Oregon, is conducting an investigation that will end in a complete overhauling of the grading rules for Douglas Fir. The gist of the whole thing is that they are planning to cast into outer darkness the word "common" in describing the grades of their lumber.

The President of the Southern California Retail Lumber Association made a speech on the subject at their annual convention in April, when he declared that calling ANY lumber "common" was utter folly, and urged that the

WCLA proposal to eliminate present names for Fir grades, and replace them with ninres that wiU properly describc the use of the item, be carried out.

He said that the public is paying a lot of money today for lumber and it doesn't want to trade its hard cash for something that openly declares itself to bc "common." It wants something a whole lot better than common to put into the home it has saved and sacrificed to own. Said Mr. E. C. Parker, a Los Angeles retailer of much wisdom and sense: "The owner simply does not want any No. 3 common lumber, No.3 common meat, No. 3 common shirt+ or No. 3 common anything. If it were marketed as 'construction' everyone down the line would be satis6ed."

Mr. Hal V. Simpson, of Portland, who runs the West Coast Lumbermen's Association and does a swell job of it, is ramrodding a very active campaign right now among the Fir sawmills on the whole West Coast that will end in changing entirely the naming and describing of Fir lumber. They plan to make the name of a grade tell sometting plain and understandable about the USE of that particular grade.

They have been holding group meetings of mill men up and down the Coast. There is no doubt but that the cbanges will be made, only the details being now in ttre making. And who is there to say that there is not great wisdom in these plans? Who wants "common" things, anyway?

Lincoln's wisest remark was: "God must have loved the common people, He made so man5r of them." But he didn't say anything about "common" lumber. That was a manmade idea.

New Forester From Sweden

Newest addition to Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's forestrv research staff at Centralia, \\'ashington, is N. Ake \\'iksten, a multilingual, much-traveled forester from Sweden.

Wiksten, lvho u'as born in Oestersund, Ss-eden, 37 years ago, spent a good share of the last dozen vears studying and rvorking on forestry research in Sweden, Su'itzerland and Iiritish Columbia, before joining \\'eyerhaeuser.

You can tell a BUILDER by his stripes, too!

Wrtn rnn nrlr of competition bringing out the best in the best of our builders, you'll find the most successfirl fellows are those who pay the most attention to cost details. And those who do are most likely to be building more and more roofs of red ceda.r shinglcs on spoced sheathing.

They have discovered, by carefirl cost accounting and. selling experience, that spaced sheathing means an enorrnoun saving on each house-and that cedar shingles add a luxury appearance that pays off in faster sales. They've figured their roofing costs in two ways: frst, with ordinary roofing material which requires a solid roof deck of lumber plus the labor cost of constructing a deck of solid sheathing. Then they have figured their costs the economical way-using about half as much spaced sheathing and far less labor and nail cost applying it for use with cedar shingles.

And they have found that CERTIGRADE red cedar shingles, because they permit such savings on sheathing cost, and because they help to sell houses faster, are today's smartest roofing choice.

Yes, you can tell a smart builder by the stripes of spaced sheathing you'll see on the roofs of his homes under construction. You'll know he has figured it out for himself and knows that the spaced sheathing idea, wit}a CERTIGRADES, makes good sense.

Would you like to have a free cost estimating form that takes all the work out of figuring the difference between spaced sheathing and solid sheathing? We will be glad to send one to you. It will permit you to use your own labor and materials costs to get the accurate answer fot your own a,rea.

Once you have found how cedar shingles canr save sheathing costs, we believe you'll be convinced, os so rnany strccessful builders are, that cedar shingles belong on the homes you build too.

Teco's 19 Yeats of Service

Timber Engineering Companv, affiliated rvith National Lumber N{anufacturers Association, has completed 19 vears as a service organization for the lumber and rvood-using industries. Its aim is the development of neu' uses of wood, forest products and their derivatives. Timber Engineering Company's staff of engineers, technologists, and chemists is maintained to serve producers, distributors, and users of lumber and rvood products; architects, engineers, and builders; scientists, professors of architecture and engineering and their students, and others interested in better u'ood utilization.

"Advancements in Wood Research and Timber Engineering" is a report in which special emphasis is given to the research services being rendered by both large and small companies. The wood-using industries are made up mostlv of small firms, most of whom cannot afford adequate research facilities. For this reason the Timber Engineering Companv has provided facilities and trained personnel that are available on a moderate fee basis. From an investment standpoint the cost of research is small. Considered in the light of insurance for a business, it has no equal. Static businesses die; research keeps business alive.

Copies of "Advancements in \\rood Research and Timber Engineering" are available from Harry G. Uhl, President, Timber Engineering Company, 1319 Eighteenth St., N.W., \\'aslrington 6, D.C.-l;ronr Bruce )[agazine.

Plywood For Outdoor Living Beverly Hills Olftce

Hansen Wholesale Lumber Corporation of Detroit, Michigan, owners of the Hansen Pacific Corporation of Fortuna, California, producers of Douglas Fir, announced they will be represented in Southern California exclusively by the Tacoma Lumber Sales, Inc., of California in the Statler Center Building and Hansen Wholesale Lumber Corp., 9015 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills.

This change in policy has been made to consolidate inquiries and to offer dealers faster service in connection with their requirements of Douglas Fir, according to Edgar J. Ervine, manager of the Beverly Hills offices of the Hansen Wholesale Lumber Corporation.

"The new mill we are constructing at Fortuna will be ready for operation this fall and our shift capacity will run better than 150,000 ft., which means we will have. a potential of turning out in excess of a half-million feet of Douglas Fir daily. We shall also be able to produce up to 50-ft. lengths with our new machinery, assuring long lengths so badly needed in the Southern California market," declared Mr. Irvine. "We ,will assure the dealers dependable, on schedule delivery," he continued.

Edgar J. Ir';'ine is well known in lumber circles in the west and was formerly associated with Dant & Russell in Los Angeles. The new mill at Fortuna is being constructed right next to the present site and will be one of the largest, most modern in California with new machinery throughout the entire plant.

A new group of plans for four storage units to take the work out of outdoor summertime living have been developed by West Coast plywood manufacturers. Designed as a follow-up to the big spring sales promotion built around eight plans for indoor storage units, the new sales aids indude easy-to-follow plans for an outdoor storage wall, a ca4)ort, storage unit, a garden cabinet and a set of demountable patio furniture.

Described by the manufacturers as the "Plus-4" program, the new summer campaign is aimed at building demand for exterior fir plywood and the industry is offering retail lumber dealers another complete tie-in promotion package dovetailing with the phenomenally successful sales tools offered this spring with the "8-Way" promotion on indoor built-ins.

The campaign kicks ofi in.July with an eye-catching series of ads billing the plans as "4 New Ideas For Outdoor Living." The ads will run in Better Homes and Gardens, American Home, Living, Sunset and Household. Every ad tells prospects to see their local lumber dealers for the plans.

The lady had been waiting anxiously for news of a close relative whose life was in danger, and her old colored cook was all sympathy. Finally the telegram came and the cook brought it in. "Heah it is, Missy," she said, "hea's de wiah you bin lookin' fo'; an' I suttinly hopes it brings you encherishin' news."

Three Grecrt Events in Americqn History

A trioof succeeding and interlocking events which, combined, have had as great an effect on our modern civilization as the telegraph, the telephone, and the steam engine, were: The creation of the internal-combustion engine; the discovery of petroleum in great quantities; and the discovery of the gasoline tax. \11/e had had oil production in small o-uantities since the middle of the last century. When the internal-combustion engine came along we couldn't use a great many of them for want of motor fuel. Then, in 1901, the Spindletop oil field came in at Beaumont, Texas, and since that time we have had gasoline to burn. (That's a joke, son.) Naturally the motor car industry sprang into tremendous life. But soon it had to slow down. We had plenty of motors to burn gasoline, and plenty of gasoline to drive the motors, but we had neither roads nor bridges nor the countless wealth required to build them. Then, in 1919, the State of Oregon discovered the gasoline tax, which in thirty odd years has crisscrossed the continent-and other continents-with highways, and built the millions of bridges and crossings, making possible the mighty motor car and oil industries of today. And every year these industries are improved and developed by new research and new brains and efforts. Truly, the world do move; but it never started really moving FAST until the three discoveries here discussed, came along.

He was explaining to this friend why he chose the hard way in potitics, whcn hc could easily have gone along with the New Dcd tidc that was then running strongly in Washington. FIe said in thc beginning of his letter that no man lovcd popular acclaim better than he did, or hated worse to go against thc popular tide, but that there were other considerations of great importance, and other examples ttat causcd him to rejcct the easy way, and he added:

I remember onc Peter, a 6sherman, who dechared to the people demanding that thcy agree -'\l/g ought to please God ratAer than man !' He went the hard way. They tell me he lost his lifc on the cross ! But I admire him.I remember Christopher Columbus, thc majority of whose sailors demandcd that he turn back, but who nevertheless pressed on. He waE rnoat unpopular with his crew. But he discovered America! I remembcr Robcrt E. Lee, who refused the command of the Union army and all the rewards of national gratitude, to do his duty to his state ! He went the hard way. There are somc who cdl him traitor ! But there are more to whom he is an inspiration.

"I remember Moses, who chose to dwell in the tents of the wandering tribes of Israel, rather than the palaces of the Pharaohs. He went the hard way. But God gave him a mountain-top to die on! And HE IS ON THAT MOUNTAIN STILL! I remember Him who said to the Pharisees-'Your fathers stoned the prophets and you build monuments to them !' He died upon the instrument of the slaves torture, but all men look up to Him on that cross ! None of these were popular men ! They, unlike Pilate, went against the tide of public opinion ! None of them was ever Governor !"

\(/alter S. Johnson Otganizes California Lumber Industry For Employee Savings Bonds Campaigns

San Francisco, June S.-Walter S. Johnson, president of the American Forest Products Corporation; is organizing over 200 major firms in the lumber and wood products industry to conduct within-company campaigns aimed at signing up as many as possible of the industry's 40,000 employees on a plan for regular saving each payday for United States Savings Bonds.

Johnson, lumber industry leader and outspoken free enterpriser, is a past president of the Western Pine Association, one of the industry's major trade organizations. He is serving as volunteer chairman to spearhead the lumbermen's efforts in support of the government's Savings Bonds program.

"It all happened in San Francisco last month," Johnson said, "when Mary Pickford, who was completing a nationwide tour to promote Savings Bond sales, asked me to take over the leadership of a campaign which rvould reach top management of California lumber firms and, through them, their many employees.

"Mary Pickford has been one of lJncle Sam's leading bond salesmen since World War I in 1918 when she stumped the country in behalf of the old Liberty Bonds. She has been behind every Treasury Bond drive since. You just don't turn down a patriotic American like'America's Sweetheart'-particularly when she asks you to do something that will help our govern-

ment as much as it will help each of the employees in our California lumber firms.

A Fine Thought On Public Relations An Editorial

Much is said and written about the prop€r relationship between industry and the public-public relations, to be exact. Some of it is wisely dsns-serng otherwise.

There has come to our attention a short but splendid treatise on the subject that will appeal to thinking indusrialists and business men generally. Russell Johnson printed it on the inside front cover of "The Noyo Chief," a live little magazine published for its employes by the Union Lumber Company, Ft. Bragg, California. It was written by Mr. L. B. Neumiller, who is president of the Caterpillar Tractor Company, and here it is, with much food for thought:

"The management of Caterpillar recognizes that, to be a wholly responsible business enterprise, it is not sufficient just to produce good machinery. The lives of all who are touched by the Company's operations-customers, dealers,

No More Scrturdcry Free Demurage

Saturdays have been returned to status of demurrage days. S.O. 856 as originally issued required common carriers to include Saturdays when computing demurrage on freight cars. This u'as suspended by ICC action until May 31, 1953, but allowed to die, so that Saturdays are no longer free demurrage days.

plant communities, shareholders, and employes-must constantly be kept in mind; and the effect upon pcoplc has to be carefully weighed in the making of business decisions.

"That is so-and has to be so-because business exists for the peoDle, and not the people for business. And it is the people who provide not only the creative forces of production, but also the markets for that production. Despite occasional illusory aptrrcarances to the contrary, there can therefore be no fundamental conflict between what is good or bad for industry, and what is good of bad for the people.

"They stand or fall together-whether sharing prosperity or suffering the adversities of economic depression. The common interests which bind business and the people together are far stronger than the issues which sometimes appear-or are sometimes made to appear-to divide them."

Employee Savings Bondr Campaigns

(Continued from Page 38)

"Regular saving of part of what \ile earn is good common sense-and the Payroll Savings way of putting away something out of income each payday is the surest, safest and easiest n'ay yet devised for u'orking men and women to build a nestegg of savings for the future security of themselves and their families.

"But, more than that, regular Savings Bond buying by people on a salary helps our government in the huge and important job of managing our national debt wisely- It makes our government strong financially, just as it makes the individual saver strong. So, at a time when our national strength is a key issue in the struggle for peace, Savings Bonds purchased by our lumber industry employees through Payroll Savings Plans operated by their employers will make a vital contribution to America.

"I am sure that both the California lumber firms and those u'ho r.r'ork for them will welcome this opportunity to help their country and themselves through the patriotic and practical Rond program.

"Through the campaigns to be put on in lumber and s'ood products firms in the near future, we are striving to sign up at least half of our 40,000 people on the Payroll Savings Plan for regular purchase of U. S. Savings Bonds'"

Connor Sells Cedar Shakes in Cars Of Mixed Materials

E. L. Connor. president of the Colonial Cedar Company, manufacturers of Fitite Cedar Shakes in Seattle. \Vashington. recently announced a ne\\' company operation u'hichis quite unique anrong building material producers. It's an offshoot from manufacturing and distributing strictlv their orvn products and involves the purchase and shipment of related \\'est Coast forest products infull but mixed car lots-all to dealer order. The mechanics of these transactions are handled by Ralph Byers, prominent in the shingle and shake industry and now in charge of Colonial's Dealer Purchasing Department.

Here's hon' Colonial Cedar Company suggests an astute dealer can get around these prohibitive tarifis Say he rvants 150 squares of Fitite shakes and l5O squares of undercoursing. At the same time he rvishes to fill out his existing stocks or meet needed requirements for other lumber products such as cedar shingles, paneling, floor, ing, siding, dimension stock, and the man1, other items normally carried. All he has to do is send his complete order directlv to Colonial Cedar. Colonial s'ill take care of all of the ordering, loading and delivering details for the complete car. "\\'e don't manufacture lumber,', Connor states, "but tve do have purchasing agreements rvith qual- ity mills l'ho do produce such products. These agreements are such that all necessary materials can be loaded and delivered quicklv, economically and efficiently."

In effect. this pool car program materiallv benefits dealers because of less rvarehousing, smaller tie-ups of investment capital and increased protection against market fluctuations. And of course the monetarl' savings make it doubly attractir-e. Dealers can buy lumber at list prices from various mills in less than carload lots, but pay full car rates. Certainly everr* dealer can appreciate the substantial differences betrveen full car and l.c.l. charges.

Cruscrde To lmprove Iog Truck Driving-

Sam }IcKinnev, business manager of the Oregon Timber Transport Operators, announces the beginning of a crusade to reduce accidents in log truck operations. This organization, headquartering in Portland, will sponsor a tour through central and southern Oregon, meeting lvith drivers, operators, state police, and state accident commission representatives to discuss safetv problems on a local basis.

The accident record for log trucks during the past year gave the industrv a black e1'e, according to llr. McKinney, and the proposed crusade is for the purpose of improving that , situation. "\\'e must change or eliminate drivers guilty of discourtesy, indifference, impatience, or ignorance," says he.

of forest lands in Douglas, Coos and Lane counties owned by the Associated Plywood Mills. The bulk of the ownership is in the Little River tract with a substantial area on the McKenzie River east of Eugene. A portion of the certified tree farm is in Coos County ancl in other sections of Douglas County.

Preliminary details prior to actual presentation of the tree farn-r application to the Industrial Forestry Association were handlecl by Henry G. Champeaux, manager of the logging ancl timber department of APMI. Working closely with Champeaux in this stage was H. R. Glascock, district forester for lFA. Iloth men headquarter at Eugene.

A tree farm is an area of private, taxpaying forest land dedicated to the perpetual growth of forest crops under consciously applied forest practices.

In the case of the Associated Plywoocl tree farm the company has outlined a management plan for its properties so that future generations may enjoy the benefits of continuous timber gror,l-ing and harvesting, Nystrom stated.

Forest protection on the tree farm is plannecl to be well above the minimum requirements of state law. Logging operations are laid out so that natural reforestation is supplied frorn adjoining blocks of seed-bearing timber left under the staggered setting system of logging. Roads are constructed ancl maintained well in advance of timber harvesting.

Imrnature stands of timber are reserved, the cornpany states, until they are mature and ready for harvest. Salvage logging is done as soon as possible after first logging so that slash burning can be finished promptly.

I-ogging plans contemplate early salvage of beetle-killed and vvindthrown trees. Full utilization of all species anil grades of merchantable timber is accomplished consistent with marketability, Nystrom and Charyrpeaux report.

Snag falling has been a company policy and will be continued. A fire warden is employed the year around. New pumper trucks and other fire fighting equipment for better fire protection have been purchased. Water holes have been built at carefully selected places about the property, and in addition six water tanks of 1000 gallons capacity have been constructed on raised platforms throughout the Little River property. They are filled by gravity and insure rapid filling of tank trucks in case of fire. The corhpany plans to burn slash and debris after logging to reduce fire hazards, but most slasl.r burning will be the spot method instead of widespread "hot" burning which Champeaux believes spoils the humus in the soil.

"Timber is a crop," President Nystrom statecl, "we will put fortl.r every effort to perpetuate a timber crop on our lands for future generations. Good forest management during the period of harvesting our virgin crops will provide new timber crops."

Lyman Lightfoot, r'i'ell knou'n iumberman oI San Diego, is presently operating the Hemet Motel, llemet, California. In order to keep abreast of current situations throughout the industry he attends meetings in San Diego and other cities n'hen lumbermen and plywood people have conclaves. He is prominent in Hoo-Hoo circles in Southern California.

Canadian Log Drive in Spring

w'ith cables the alligator is as much at home on land as on water.

As modern as tomorrorv, the logging driver employs the airplane and the radio, trIando's Ftrf radio system reaches every corner of its logging areas and is used by the drive crews to report emergencies as u'ell as routine matters.

The airplane is the "eye" of the drive and the radio is the "voice." Circling overhead, the airplane's pilot is quick to spot a log jarn. He reports the jam to the nearest camp and a crew is dispatched at once to break it up.

Resembling a militarv operation, the scattered drive crews are kept in constant contact via the radio. If supplies run short, a call on the radio brings the airplane carrying the needed goods. An injured u'oodsman can be florvn to a modern hospital in a part of an hour.

On the Wcy lo the Mill-With the comilg oI spring, one oI the most colorlul cspects oI the busiaess oI turning trees into pcper trnd insulqtion boord gets underway with the spring drive.

Fort Frances. Ontario. Canada. In this vast roadless area of forests and water, spring marks the begirtning of one of the most colorful aspects of this business of turnir.rg trees into paper and other useful products.

For after the busy winter comes the logging drive that sends millions of logs down the flooding rivers, over clams and rapids and into the big lakes where they are towed to the mills.

Here in northwestern Ontario, the l\linnesota and (lntario Paper Company's Canadian division, The Ontario-Ilinnesota Pulp and Paper Company Limited, carries on one of the largest pulpwood river drives in the province.

According to George B. Amidon, Mando's director of forest management, nearly 50,000 cords of pulp rvood rvill come down the Seine, Little Turtle and Manitou Rivers this spring.

Experienced woodsmen, working a periocl of about 90 days, depending upon wind and weather, are needed to get the logs to O-I\{'s newsprint and specialtv paper mill here.

Today's river drives use a multitude of heavy and complex machinery. The major type of equipment used is the rvinchboat and the alligator. These mechanical monsters, rveighing as much as 14 tons, tow the logs across the lakes and ba1's where tl-rey can be concentrated in large 50,000 cord boorns for the big tow by diesel powered tugs to the mills.

Plywood and Hardboard

In its primitive devektPment plyu'ood u'as simplv three veneers l>ound together to make a verv tough board /[-inch thick. Today plyu-ood is tuarketed in sc()res of lte\\' forms. As a specific exanrltle, ()ne conlPanf is producing a tl.rree-plf item that is nrade lrv gluing and pressing'\'eneer flakes to a core of medium-sized chips.

The flakes and chips are resin coated arl<l impregnated. the three lavers are then fused under heat and pressttre of extreme force. The flakes and chips are individuallv sized and shaped on specifications for uniiorm strength and densit.v of core and for characteristics of design on the face veneers.

This product found first ttse in manufactttre of table tops ancl other iurnitttre, garage doors, counter fr()nts. sliding doors and partitions. -\nother recent plvs'rlod item r.rlakes use of economy grade veneers for all plies' lvith kraf t paper glued on for a strong' and clurable llaint surface.

Another cleveloPment utilizes Peeler log cores. 'fhe large ones are put through a small gangsa\\' tltat ctlts thern intcr tu'o by fours. .\ chipper tlses uP the srnaller cores. -\ll residual u'ood is ground into hog iuel for the polver plant.

Peeling the Peeler

In stanclard modren plvu'ood production. the peeler log.

cream of the Dorrglas fir tirnber crop, is bucked into blocks. usuall-r- eight feet long but at times in lengths up to 16 feet. -\llos-ance is made for the trimmings recluired in n.ranufacture of the finished pl1'l'ood panel. A peeler block goes first through a h1'draulic ora mechanical barker. Then a peeling lathe s'ith a knife that slices around rrith the grou-th rings as the log is turned against it. unrvinds the lavers of n'ood dos'n to a core of coarse rvood and the pith of the tree.

The unrr'ound sheet of u'ood that streams on fr,,m the lather on conveving rolls u'ill varv in tlrickness frorn l/lOth to 3/l6ths of an inch. The Douglas fir peeling is carried into travs 150 feet long. It is cut into s'idths for panel assemblv. Grading is r-ital in the process. -\t the clipping rnachines. grading is done t() cut out defects and send on panel veneers of highest qualitv.

The drfing of the sheets in 100-foot orens is the next l)r()cess. In irom eight tol5 nrinutes, moisture content is lrrought dos'n to less than fir'e per cent. \ext. the glue s1>reading machines. -'\ slteet rvith glue on each side is sanclu'iched betu'een ts'o drv sheets in standard three-pl1manufacture.

Sun Valley Lumber Company at Lalayette

When Tom Jacobsen and Chris Sechrist bought the Sun Valley Lumber Company from its founder, Elmo Lombardi, they moved from a metropolitan area to the suburbs. There is a difference in the way retail lumber companies do business in these areas. In a metropolitan area like Oakland or Alameda policies are determined by the character of the business. The trade comes from contractors, many of them large, tract promoters. and industrial sources. In the suburban areas the retail lumber business has to be fitted to a different set of circumstances.

East of the Berkeley and Oakland hills is a large area w'hich furnishes about the only land for the growth of the better suburban homes which contribute to it. The region is growing of people who like outdoor living, and makes possible the design of homes which contribute to it. The region is growing very rapidly. The heads of farnilies living there have their brrsinesses in San Francisco and other Bay area cities. Already there is a congestion problem on the highwavs, but plans nnder way will relieve this in part. Here lies Lafayette.

The Sun Valley Lumber Cornpanl'of Lafal'ette does much business n'ith small contractors who build the better grade of in<lividualll)' clesigned homes, running frorn $18,000 to $30,000, eLncl over. They build then-r one at a tirne as a rule and there is verl' little if any tract business. There is a larger proportiorr of over-the-counter retail sales than in the cities, and for the

nlost part the-r' are cash. There are manl' small buyers, home owners of excellent standing and credit.

The atmosphere is like that of the country. People are neighborly and friendll'. Thel' cnjoy a more informal kind c,f living, and seek more elbou' room than in city areas. One realll' gets ac<luanited rvith his neighbors.

The Sun Vallev Lumber Company is located along the highway on the outskirts of I-afayette on a rise of the hills. There is an office, a plyrvood and finish shed, and one for rustic and Sheet-rock. The ground covers about 2l acres and a large stock is carried of all types of lumber and pl1'wood used in this area. The inventory is varied. They have vacant ground owned by the compan),, ready for expansion, if future plans require it. The companv rnakes deliveries from lloraga to \\-alnut Creek and Orinda. There are 13 employees, and 4 trucks are active in cleliveries. Rusiness has been good since the nerv orvnership, and is expanding rvith a fast growing cornmunitr'.

Both \Ir. Jacobsen and lfr. Sechrist are active in the business and have had long experience in retailing building materials. The former began rvith the I-oop Lumber Company

N. L. M. A. Convention Highlights Research

Asheville, N.C.-Approval of a million-dollar research project and an expandecl publications program highlighted the 1953 Spring meeting of the board of directors of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, held NIay 2-t-26 in Asheville, N.C.

More than 100 leading lumber manufacturers from all parts of the country attended the two-day conclave at Asheville's Battery Park Hotel.

NLMA directors voted unanimously in favor of the research program after an impressive statement and demoustration of the proposed investigations by D. B. Frampton, Columbus (Ohio) lumber manufacturer and chairman of NLMA's Products and Research Committee.

The program will put major emphasis on lamination. Principal objectives of the program are to cut building costs and develop new and better lumber products.

The research project, largest organized program of its kind in the history of the lumber industry, rvill be set up by I\Ir' Frampton and the 22 members of his committee. It will be financed by individual lumbermen and lurnber companies. A total outlay of $1,100,000 over a ten-vear period rvill be involved.

In the first year, $100,000 will be spent for a detailed survey of past, present and potential lumber tnarkets to give the industry a clearer picture of u'hat markets offer the best sales opportunities. Anotl-rer $100,000 will be spent the first year for actual research work on lamination.

This will be followed by the expenditure of $100'000 a Year for the next nine years to fin:rnce adclitional lamination research. The Timber Engineering Co., an affiliate of the National Lumber \fanufacturers Association, u'ill concluct the lamination research.

End-products which the prograrn is expected to develop include glued-up lumber panels faced u'ith veneer' heavy-dutv paper or thin fiberboard. Some of the panels ttral' require no special facing.

Carl A. Rishell, NLMA research director, said some specific aims of the research Program are to:

l. Find ne\\r uses in home building and otl.rer types of construction for small pieces of lurnber and n'ood species Nhich

heretofore have had little or no commercial value- Wide, clear boards from narrow strips is one tyPe of laminated building product which is expected to result from this effort. Special laminated studding is another possibility.

2. Perfect economical methods for patching end-splits and other imperfections in wood to improve its performance and achieve a better utilization of rarv material.

3. Develop a low-cost waterproof glue that is economical to apply and sets quickly at room temperature.

+. Develop a low-cost preservative treatment that can be applied to u'ood before lamination.

5. Perfect the lamination of pattern and model stock.

6. Reduce the cost of laminating large structural members.

7. Develop a technique for laminating combinations of different lumber species in the manner that metal manufacturers have perfected the alloying of metals. For instance, the use of light u'eight w'oods to face heavy, dense woods would produce members u'ith great strength in relation to their weight' The expanded public relations program, to be conducted by the Public Relations Department of NL\IA, will be designed to boost lumber sales and improve public opinion of the lumber industry.

NLI,IA directors stamped approval on details of the program after it had been explained by Edu'in L- Douglass, pres.ident tof the Augusta Hardwood Co-, Augusta, Ga-, and chainnan or NLIIA's Public Relations Conrrnittee.

Principal speaker at the trvo-day meeting rvas Dr' George Garratt, dean of the Graduate School of Forestry at Yale' Dr. Garratt tolcl a luncheon meeting \Ia1' 25 that a major forestr..' education problem is getting more qualified students to meet the demands of industrY.

Dr. Garratt observed that about half of today's forestry' school graduates are going into private industry, while formerly a great majorty $'gnt into government sen'ice. The speaker also urged that industry provide more practical training to forestrv students and forestrl' graduates through summer on-the-job training programs.

Another speaker u'as Dr. \\'eldon B. Gibson, director of economics research at the Stanford Research Institute, Palo

Alto, Calif., who urged that NLI,IA directors take positive action on the research program.

Dr. Gibson declared: "It's hard to find a case where continuing research has not rung it up in the cash register."

The research expert reported that industry as a whole has plowed back one and one-half per cent of its sales volume into research, but in the lumber industry this figure is less than one per cent. Some research projects, Dr. Gibson aclded, have returned as much as 2,000 per cent on the original investment.

Other highlights of the meeting included reports by various staff members of NLMA. Robert E. Dougherty, assistant to NLMA's executive vice president, explained proposals that NLMA conduct a comprehensive sales training program among lumber salesmen.

Richard G. Kimbell, Technical Department director, gave an eye-witness account of the results of atomic tests conducted in March in the Nevada desert to detern.rine the resistance of wood houses, cars and personnel shelters to an atomic blast.

Reports also were made by George Fuller, NLMA vice president, on legislative developments affecting the industry, and by A. Z. Nelson, NLMA forest economist, on forestry and land management problems.

Harry G. Uhl, president of the Timber Engineering Company, reported on the current status of TECO sales, research and other activities.

Executive Vice President Leo V. Bodine brought the association's directors up to date on developments concerning the administration of NLMA.

Sixteen-year-old Rita Jo Thompson, of Davton, Ohio, took

the spotlight briefly at the luncheon meeting May 25. She was presented with a bronze and wood plaque as a representative of the teen-age company which placed first in the 1953 nationwide Junior Achievement Contest for wood products. The contest is sponsored annually by Junior Achievement, fnc., and the National Lumber Manufacturers Association to encourage business enterprise among the nation's youth.

The winner's plaque was presented to Miss Thompson by Corydon Wagner, forrner NLMA president and board chairman. Miss Thompson's company, E,rco Products, of Dayton, won top honors for manufacturing a unique wood bookholder which holds books on an inclined plane and requires a support only at the lower end.

Mr. Wagner also presented a plaque to John B. Veach, president of the Hardwood Corporation of America, Asheville, N.C., and NLMA board chairman. The plaque was in recognition of Mr. Veach's services as past president of NLMA.

The Asheville meeting was preceded by a week-long tour of sarvmills, lumber camps, paper plants and other industrial facilities and landmarks 'in Tennessee. Alabama and North Carolina.

Herschell Lerrick, Sr., prominent lumberman of Solano Beach. California, returned the first part of this month following an extended visit to Vancouver, Canada. During his trip he called on various mills and people in the industry in California, Oregon and Washington.

There were water-driven sawmills in the neighborhood of Augsburg, Germany, as early as the year 1337.

Davidson's New Plant At San Francisco

The new headquarters of Davidson Plyrvood & Lumber Company in San Francisco have all the physical specifications which u'ould enable efficient operation, and also display, in the office finish, the beauty and advantages of the various grades of plywood the company has for sale. But a modern rvarehouse and facilities, along with a fine presentation of the company's merchandise u''ill not make a business succeed. For trvo years they rvere located in a building with facilities which they deemed entirely inadequate, and yet during that time they made the progress n'hich justified the later improvements. As usual the ans\{'ers to these questions are in management, sales policies and merchandise.

The San Francisco operation of Davidson Plyrvood ct Lumber Cornpany is a branch of the main headquarters in I-os Angeles, and good established lines were made part of the first inventories. But breaking into the u'holesale business in highly competitive lines requires selling and good customer policies which evidently Ralph Mannion, general manager, and Art Gray, sales manager, laid out rvhen they began operation.

To begin u,'ith they classify thernselves as strictly rvholesalers and deal only tl.rrough the conventional channels of distribution. This means that contractors cannot buy through them but must look to dealers for their needs. Policies of distribution in this area are a matter of local control for the San Francisco managernent.

The building of good customer relations rvas also furthered by prompt delivery service, completeness in variety of inventory and quantity for any need. Needless to say a desire to help the customer came before any thoughs of profit.

The next problem was to convey these selling policies through the morale or esprit de corps of the office and the

sales force. An effort lvas made to convey a courteous and cheerful spirit, especially over the telephone. The expansion of their business and the progress made in their two years in San Francisco seem to have vindicated these policies.

Ralph \Iannion, the general manager, has been actively engaged in the rvholesale lumber and plyn'ood industry in this area for the past 16 years. Art Gra.v, sales manager, gained

his experience in the retail lumber business in the San Joaquin valley. Both men rvere rvith this branch from the start.

There are nou' three men at the order desk and five outside salesmen covering Oakland, Ilarin County, San Francisco, the Peninsula and the Sacramento and Sa4 Joaquin valley. The companv also operates three delivery trucks.

sq. ft., has a single span roof with a sprinkling s)'stem and a cement floor. On the west side there are spur track facilities r.r'ith loading height for floor

and solt driaks being served. and dock loading for trucks. There is an ll-inch drop to the east side of the building with 10,000 sq. ft. of opeir space, street height and easily accessible to inside of building for lift trucks. With the absence of pillars due to continuous span, full efficiency and layout of inventory is possible, which results in a minimum of handling.

There are three beautiful private offices finished in paro_ wall squares of 16-inch Birch, Ash and Mahagony. This pai_ ticular finish is made exclusively for Davicison plywool & Lumber Company. It has a tongue and groove fit. The main office is in Etchwood, the Brushed Douglas Fir plywood pio_ neered by Davidson. The lunchroom, which is also available for sales meetings, has a stove, refrigerator and sink and is paneled in Philippine Mahogany.

The sales counter is covered with an exclusive procluct called Dinolite, a hard-surfaced plastic laminate of r/s-inch thickness. It is also suitable for wall application as well as horizontal installation. There isa Dinolite strip for selfedging which leaves no black line to show.

The inventory includes specialty etched plywoods which the company manufactures, Redwood Etchwall, Douglas Fir ply_ wood, Philippine Mahogany plywood, Harmony Wall, Fir Sketchwood, Redwood Shadow Wo'od, Redwood plyweave.

The door line includes Fir doors, panel and screen doors,

Wcrehouse

and the exclusive Daco door, which is available in Gum, Birch, Philippine Mahogany and Prima, also Masonite flush doors. In other words, there are complete stocks in all these lines which the dealer buys to sell to the builder.

In their office they maintain a co{Iee bar in which there are four silex coffee makers in operation all the time. This is just a little extra for customers and friends ; donuts are available in the morning, or a cool drink if it is preferred to coffee.

Insulation In The B<rg

As a result of a year and a half research into the problem of material handling and warehousing (with both dealers and jobbers) as well as a study of product identification, the Wood Conversion Company, St. Paul, has adopted a new type of package for Balsam-Wool Insulation.

The new package, which is actually a bag, is flat and rectangular and is approximately one-half the size and weight of the old ro11 package. Estimates by warehousemen put space savings as high as 25/o, with much faster and more economical handling. Balsam-Wool in the new packages is a cinch to handle on conveyors, simplifies unloading of cars, facilitates truck loading.

Times Editor Visits Giant Redwoods

As vacation time comes round again, trips by motor to the various mountainous beauty spots of California are being considered and planned by a great army of people. Of particular interest for a short tour is the Giant Redwood countrv, which unfolds in just a few hundred miles some of the world's most wonderful scenery.

To interest readers of The Los Angeles Tirnes in this w'onderland not too far away, that newspaper sent its Automobile and Outdoor Editor, Lynn Rogers, on a 570-rnile trip to vier'r' and report on the great Sequoia tree countrv, and the storv of where he went and what he saw was printed in the Sundav Times of NIay 31. It was a most interesting story, and THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT, which has printed hundreds of stories about the Redwoods in the past, is proud to borrow and reprint Mr. Rogers' stor)', as tollor'r's:

High in the Golden State's wondrous Sierra Nevada stand I\{other Nature's forest masterpieces, the giant sequoia trees, which are remnants of once widespread forests that covered a large portion of the North American continent. Today only a relatively few of these great redwoods rernaitl tcl interpret the past and give promise to the future.

Beholding the colossal spires of evergreens that rise as high as a modern 16-story building, the minds of men find it difficult to comprehend that the timbered giants in the western section of Sequoia National Park are actualll' from 3000 to 4000 years old.

Viewed by Thousands

Each year, thousands of tourists return to this fabulous scenic area to find new points of interest, to discover even greater unexpected vistas and to experience fresh pleasures. Situated on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada \Iountains, Sequoia and acljoining Kings Canvon National Park form one of the most fascinating vacation lands in the \\'est.

During the regular 1952 season 913,000 people visited the two parks with a good representation frorn all 48 States as well as 15 foreign countries, Supt. E. T. Scoyen's figures show.

The scenic areas were establishecl by Congress primarily to preserve for public benefit several famecl groves of Sequoia gigantea or u'ashingtoniana. popularly knos'n as the Big Trees of California and the oldest living things on earth.

It gives one a jolt to realize that these forest kings which are so majestically beautiful today actually u'ere very old when the Babe of Bethlehem was born nearly 2000 years ago.

General Sherman Tree

The biggest sequoia of them all, the General Sherman Tree, wl.rich towers 272.4 feet above the ground and has a base circumference of. 101.7 feet, lifts its crown just 26 air miles west of Mt. Whitney, 14,495, which marks the eastern border of this vast park which was namecl after the Sequoia Indians'

According to history the first white men to enter this area were members of the Joseph R. Walker partv in 1839. Hou'ever, in 1856, Hale D. Tharp, a restless farmer from Three Rivers, visitecl Sequoia in search of pastures and a ranch site' Tharp was welcomed by a group of friendll' Yokut Indians'

In 1858 Tharp discoveretl Giant Forest and first viewed the big trees, one of r,l,hich alreacly hacl been described to hirn by

the Indians as being so large it took 25 men, with hands clasped together, to encircle it. Eventualll' more settlers came into the area and by 1865 the last of the Yokut Indians had died frolrr u'hite man's diseases-

Driving an automobile from l-os Angeles over the 237-mile route to Sequoia is not only an easy jaunt but a delightful experience in the summertime. We acquired a brand-new 1953 Dodge Red Ram \r-8 Coronet sedan from Pelton Motors, Inc', S. Figueroa St. Dodge-Plymouth headquarters, and headed northward through Glendale and San Fernando, going over U.S. Highu-ay 99 via the Ridge Route to Bakersfield'

Six miles north of the traffic circle we turned right on State Highwal' 65 and headed up through the rich farming communities of Porterville, Strathmore and Lindsay. Two miles north of Exeter we turned right on State Highway 198 and began our uphill climb to the Park.

Statue of Bunyan

Just nine miles from Sequoia is a giant redrvood statue to the mythical rvoodsman, Paul Bunyan. It was carved in l94l by Sculptor Carroll Barnes and is a favorite with tourists who never fail to take pictures of it. The statue is really an advertisement for a nearbv cider mill and extensive apple orchards'

A short distance Past Three Rivers u'e entered the boundary of Sequoia National Park and sa\A' a large Indianhead sigrt representing Chief Sequol'ah, for lvhom the large trees \f,ere named. \\-e soon reached Ash \{ountain Ranger Station r*-here we paid the $l entrance fee which is good for the entire year, and were checked in by Ranger \\'arren Gardner'

In the absence of Superintendent Scoven, Ranger George A. \\'alker, his assistant, assigned Ranger Wayne Alcorn and District Ranger Don Erskine to our party. Continuing upgrade we passed under a huge overhanging rock known as Tunnei Rock. Near here is the Buckeye Flat public camp grounds, accessible the 1'ear round, and also a large trailer park'

Highway Climbs

The highway here runs high above the middle fork of the Kaweah River and t*'ists and climbs through beautiful country dotted rvith dogwood, buckeye, California laurel, whiteblooming yucca and other shrubby plants.

Sixteen miles from Ash \{ountain Station *'e reached Giant Forest u'here ll'e checked in at the lodge, which is at 6400 feet elevation. Giant Forest is the best known of the 35 sequoia groves and is a common point of departure on trips to the high mountain countrv to the east. Close by is the National Park lfuseum.

Next morning lve drove our new Dodge Coronet over toward Crescent }leadou'. Parking our car, we u'alked about 15 minutes to Tharp I-g, a fallen monarch which rvas burned hollow centuries ago. \\rith rough materials, Hal Tharp closed the open end and created a spacious cabin. Naturalist John I{uir, who spent several nights here in 1875, referred to Tharp Log as a "noble den."

General Sherman Tree

We visited General Shennan Tree next. It was discovered in 1879 by Trapper James \\/olverton, u'ho named it in honor

of Gen. Sherman, under whorn he had served in the Civil War. Estimated to be 3500 years old, it is the oldest living thing on earth. The tree is 279.9 f.eet high and 36.5 feet in diameter.

Then u'e view Auto Log and Tunnel Log and climbed Moro Rock, 6719 feet in elevation, for a breath-taking glimpse of miles of mountains and valleys. Later we saw several deer gazing at us from the forest and while crossing the bridge over Lower Marble Fork w-e watched a big bear speculatively eyeing the stream for fish.

There are many sections where good fishing lakes and streams may be reached by the hiker or on horseback. pack animals and guides rnay be procured. There are several hundred miles of streams and scores of lakes containing rainbow, Loch Leven, black spotted, cutthroat and some golden trout.

Listen to Lecture

Returning to Giant Forest Lodge, we ate a hearty dinner in company of Manager George Mauger, and then listened to a nature lecture by one of the rangers. Varied entertainment, including square dancing and community singing, is offererl nearly every evening.

Next r-norning we set out for Lodgepole Camp, four miles northeast of Giant Forest. Lodgepole is a sl-rort distance off the Generals Highway which leads to the General Grant Grove section.

Returning to Generals Higliway we drove on to Lost Grove, passing over a huge bridge of native rock which spans Clover Creek. Our next stop was Muir Grove, a forest of giant sequoias 14 rniles from Giant Forest, and reachecl over a two-mile foot trail.

After another l5 rniles we reached the administrative headquarters near General Grant Grove in Kings Canyon National Park. Turning right we drove to the parking ^r." ancl walked down a footpath to see General Grant Tree, second only to General Sherman Tree in size. It is 264 feet high ancl a little over 35 feet in diameter at its base.

We also visited General Lee Tree, the Centennial Stump, Panoramic Point, Big Stump .Basin, Sawed Tree, the Martyr Tree and Redwood Mountain Grove. It rvould require clays to visit every point of interest in this vast wilderness of beauty. Distance covered for the round trip was about 520 miles, including side trips. If you have a family an<l would like to heed the call of the open road this summer, Sequoia will fulfill all your vacation thrills.

T\TENTY.FIVE YEARS

Fred Holmes has sent an announcement to all retail lumber dealers -i=n California to the effect that his firm, the Holmes Eureka Lumber Company of San Francisco, has adopted the capital letters "HE" as a trademark, which rvill appear on all their products.

In this issue appeared a splendid photograph and story about Russell T. Gheen, who represents the C. D. Johnson Lumber Company, in San Francisco.

The Santa Fe Lumber Company, San Francisco, is engaged in an intense campaign to educate the building trade of California to the use of the better grades of Red Cedar shingles, instead of so many lower grades formerly used. Gus Russell is one of the most enthusiastic better shingle men in the state.

The famous Philippine Mahogany case has been appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States for final settlement. In the meantime the Philippine Mahogany Asso,ciation has advised all those who sell those products to continue to use the name, and promote its uses just as they

have been doing, until final settlement is made of matter.

The Pacific Northwest Millwork Association will be consolidated with the West Coast Lumbermen's Association as a result of a meeting of the millwork body in Portland on June 1st. Col. Greeley, secretary-manager of the lumber association worked out the details. The West Coast Lumber Trade Extension Bureau was likewise absorbed by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association just a short time ago. The general offices are in Seattle.

Henry Wilson, wealthy San Francisco lumber and shipping man, died at his home in Piedmont, June 5, at the age of 79. He was born in Sweden.

The Chas. R. McCormick Lumber Company, San Francisco, entertained 200 members of its organization at an annual boat ride and picnic at Paradise Cove, on May 30.

Terrible Twenty Holds Annual Election of Officers

Twenty-six years ago, I\Iay 19, 1927, The Terrible Trventy Golf Tournaments were established and brought into being by Eric Lange, and a group of trventy-nine golfers, wl-ren they met at Flintridge Country Club to adopt the By-Lalvs of this norv famous organization of sportsmen.

It rvas on the morning of Tuesday, June 15, 1926 when the first trventy actually met in combat and plans were made to make the Terrible Twenty a Permanent fraternity. On May 19 of this year the t$'enty-seventh annual tournament was held at Los Angeles Country Club sponsored by Ed Bauer and Clarence Bohnhoff, prominent 'rvholesale lumbermen of Los Angeles. The annual election of officers was concluded at this meeting, along rvith finals in match play tournaments, and Kurt l\{cFadden rvas elected to the high office of '.'Most Terrible" to preside during the corning fiscal year. Outgoing president, Ham Hamilton, rvas presented 'ir.ith a beautiful silver borvl as an expression of the mernbership's appreciation for his rvork during the past year. The nerv directors for the coming year include Doug Disney, Bob Osgood, Kurt l\{cFadden, u'ith Ham Hamilton and Karsten \\roll as holdovers.

Many prominent Southern California lumbermen are members of this group of golfers including Edrvin M. Bauer, Clarence C. Bohnhoff, Hervey Bou'les, Dee C. Ess-

ley, Thomas B. Fleming, Burton S. Galleher, George O. Gartz, Francis G. Hanson, Arthur J. Harff, Helmer Hoel, Edrvard J. Klassen, Frank I. King, Robert S. Osgood, George A. Ryness, LeRoy H. Stanton. Sterling L. Stofle, Joe Tardl', along rvith executives of various activities allied to lumber, construction and rvoodrvorking. Over the period of vears manv of these men have served in the high office of "The trlost Terrible" and second office of "The Least Terrible," an honor rvhich thel' have alrvavs been proud to assume.

During these manl- years of tournament plav the Terrible Trventy members have met each month rvithout interruption at the various Country Clubs throughout California. Each month a neu' sponsor takes his turn as host and entertains the membership and guests at his particular club. The larger the turn-out the better he likes it because this organization is trulv founded on "goodfellou'ship."

A Terrible Trventv Touranment is a must in the lives of these sportsmen. If vou don't believe it, just ask one of them. So, they enter their ts'enty-eighth 1'ear and compete in their 325th monthlv tournament this nronth at Riviera Country Club, and *'e rvish all of them u'ell as thev tee off in their battle for the trophv.

Los Angeles Building Paces Nation

According to 'Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., Los Angeles set a building pace for the first four months of 1953 which the rest of the nation's cities were unable to keep up with. In fact the California city led by a wide margin for construction totals, not even excluding.giant New Ybrk with her five counties that included Brooklyn.

The $160,093,254 worth of building permits issued in Los Angeles during the first four months of this year topped the New York total by $10,709,493, exceeded by g59,71I,754 the combined totals of Chicago and Philadelphia and topped the Detroit amount by 990,170,065.

These comparisons are drawn from a table of buildingpermit valuation reports compiled by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.

Disclosed by that table are the 25 cities with the highest four-month totals in the order listed as follows:

Four months, 1953

Also from the Dun & Bradstreet report are the following excefpts:

"Estimated expenditures for building permits issued during April reached the highest volume ever recorded for that month and were exceeded only in three other p6nfl5-May, June and August of the boom year 1950. The total valuation of permits for 215 cities during April came to 9529,W4,414.

"This was 27.6% above the same 1952 month with $415,46,459 and I3.2/o more than the preceding month with $468,133,028. Building plans filed in New York City last month amounted to $50,678,096, a drop of 4.6/o from $53,123,323 in April last year but a gain of I9.l/o above the March figure of. $42,546,378."

FHA Given Builders Grccn Light On Trursed Rafter Beneftts

Washington-Home builders now can benefit from all the advantages of clear span roof construction, as a result of the Federal Housing Administration's recent revision of its requirements for installing partitions in one or two-unit dwellings, according to Alden K. Smith, sates manager of Timber Engineering Company, research affiliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

In its revision No. 40 to MPR 40&G-3, just released, FHA cancelled the traditional requirement that the top plate of non-bearing partitions must lap over the under plate of the exterior wall.

"FHA's cancellation of this requirement enables builders to have, for the 6rst time, full benefits for which clear spa.n construction was designed," said Mr. Smith.

"Wood frame-trussed rafters rest on exterior u'alls only, and eliminate all load bearing partitions. This enables the builder to close in a house when exterior walls are up, then apply interior finish without cutting and fitting around partitions. He can finish the ceiling and outer walls, and lay the entire floor, all within the open, unobstructed area of the house. This means considerable advantages and economics to builders and homeowners.

"Substantial time, material and labor were saved in the building of more than 125,000 dwelling units w'ith Teco trussed rafters, even under FHA's former plateJapping requirements," Mr. Smith concluded. "Now, greater advantages and economies are made possible by FHA's recent action."

A comprehensive booklet on the construction and use of Teco trussed rafters is available, without charge, to architects, engineers and builders, on request to Timber Engineering Company, 1319-18th Street, N.W., Washington 6, D.C.

Del Travis, president of Travco, fnc., San Jose, attended the Hoo-Hoo Reveille at Berkeley on trIay 8, and then made a quick trip up the Redrvood Highrvay to visit some of the company's mill connections.
