Gump's store ir-r San Francisco is known all over the u.'orld for its oriental imports. In its famed jade roolrr a collector can find individual pieces bearing stratospheric price tags iir a Chinese vase rvorth the cash equivalent of half a rlozerr lrouses.

Ordinaril_r' one rn'ould not think of going to Gurllt's to find the :rnswers on finishing redwood, yet that is exactly what the California Redwood Association did in preparing rts J)ata Shect on Interior Finishes for the ruddy u,ood. For besides jade and porcelain, Gump's has one of the finest interiol decoration departments of any store in the world, headed by Miss Eleanor Forbes.

At the Association's request, Miss Forbes sclected the 12 interior hnishes for redlvood which she considered the most suitable t<i modern interior trends and, to complete the decoratir.e package, suggested four basic rug and drapery colors on the basis of their suitability to the 12 redwood finishes.

The resulting Data Sheet (484-1) is one of the most complete decorative guides available to lumber users today. The sheet is as valuable, of course, to users of redr,vood plyu'ood as' to users of solid redwood paneling. The 12 finish samples presented are matched by instructior-r sheets prepared by four leading paint manufacturers, Pratt &

I)ue to basic differences in the products manufactured by the four paint companies, the results illustrated in the Association folder are sometimes achieved differently by the difTerent paint concerns. Most important to the user, however, is the fact that illustrations of redwood finishes, together lvith complete instructions, are available at retail paint stores. It is no longer necessary to write to some authority such as the Redwood Association for special finishing instructions. Lumbermen who carry any of the four lines mentioned can obtain both Data Sheets and instruction sheets from the Western district offices or salesmen of those concerns. All finisl-res are obtained by.using standard preparations since no special materials are needed.

Experience has shown that the result is a high degree of rlser satisfaction due to the fact that whether a room is made of redvi'ood paneling or plywood, walls and trim get a uniform treatment based on a foolproof system rvorked out by the participating paint manufacturers. fn addition, of course, such interiors are based upon the decorative authority of one of the nation's leading interior decorators.
