THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT J*k

ANGELES 14, CALIFORNIA, JULY t5, 1957

HOW LUMBER LOOKS

The report of second quarter, 1957, production and shipments of western pine region lumber products and estimate of probable third quarter, 1957, shipments, released by W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association, says:

Production of lumber in the western pine region during the second quarter of this year is estimated at 2039 million board feet, 10.4/o below the second quarter of last year. Shipments of 2061 million feet were down 6.4/o from the second quarter of 1956.

Latest figures on residential construction are mildly encouraging. Privately financed housing starts in May were at the seasonally adjusted annual rate of 990,000 units, the best rate so far this vear but still well below the 1,146,000 unit rate of May tq56. tlo sharp upturn is expected but any significant change, when it does come, should be for the better. The percentage of available vacant housing has been shrinking in recent months, indicating a need for more homes.

W&ile there are yet surplus stocks of some items in the lumber induqtry, particularly at the mills, the present low price level has been fairly stable for the past eight or nine months so most relailers and millwork plants must have their stocks pretty well in line by now. In the monttr-s ahead they should buy as much lumber as they sell or use.

Green fir, dry fir and western pine species all contributed to the decline reported in Crow's Lumber Price Index in the period ending June 28. Green hemlock dimension is the "Cinderella" of today's market, which some important eastern areas favor because of its price. Plywood sheathing is still firm. Log prices remained steady in western Oregon, with reduced demand for Douglas fir and unsettled labor situation keeping log-buying at a minimum; here, too, demand was heavy for green hemlock dimension.

'

Lumber shipments of 489 mills reporting to the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn. in the week ended June 22 were 3.3Vo below production, while new orders were 0.3/o above. For the year to date, new orders hit 1.4% above production Shipments of. L33,029,616 feet climbed 16.2/o above production of. 1t4,45t,439 feet at 164 mills reporting tb the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn. in the week ending Irtne 29. Orders were 5.6/o under pr'oduction The weekly average of wes.t coast lumber production in June was 183,747,000 b,f., reported Harris E. Smith, WCLA secretary, in his monthly report'for the Douglas fir region; orders averaged 181,882,000 and shipments averaged 197,095,000 b.f. Fir plywood orders fell ll.3Vo below prodirction of ll3,75Z,W feet in the week ending lune 29, reported the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn., but were nearly N/o hisher than the corresponding 1956 week, while production was 3l-7Vo higher than the like 1956 week.

Ciry of los Angeles Develops Spon Tobles for Girdetsr Joists clnd R.crfters

The following "Span Tables" were developed by the Department of Building and Safety, City of Los Angeles, California, to be embodied in its new Building Code to become effective on or about July 15, 1957,at which time the city will require all lumber, in all grades, to be "grade-stamped."

The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT is indebted to Orrie W. Hamilton. executive vice-president of the Southern California Retail Lumber Associationj for permission to reproduce the tables from its June 20 bulletin to its members. The association plans to furnish copies of these Span Tables to all architects in the area and solicit their cooperation in specifying materials that are available for quick delivery, to make better and stronger buildings at lower cost of construction.

With the SCRLA bulletin, Mr. Hamilton told his dealer members that any suggestions they might have along the lines of promoting the use of "grade-stamped" standard-construction lumber would be greatly appreciated.

It should be noted in the following Span Tables that the Douglas Fir grades arc listed therein as "Coast" and "fnland."

The "Coast" denotes lumber graded by any recognized grading agency (i.e. W.C.L.B., P.L.T.B., etc.) under the Standard Grading and Dressing Rules No. 15 of the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau. Where the word "Inland' is used, it denotes lumber graded under the 1956 Standard Grading Rules of the Western Pine Association:

At the meeting of June 17,1957, the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners, City of Los Angeles, approved the use of Utility grade and No. 4lumber with the following provisions to become effective concurrently with the 1957 Building Code Amendments and to remain in effect on a trial basis for a period of one year:

1. "Utility" grade and "No.4" lumber of less thanT'nominal thickness may be used in the following locations:

a. For sub-flooring where the finish floor has a thickness of not less than !{".

b. For wall sheathing in any location.

2. "Vtility" grade lumber may be used to the extent of l5/o for studs in one-story buildings or in the top story of multi-story buildings where the arbitrary design criteria of Division 48 are applicable and engineering design is not required.

All "Utility" or "No. 4" lumber shall be subject to the approval of ttte guitding Inspector. If not acceptable such lumber shall be removed or shall be supported by the addition of satisfactory material.

Bulletin dated June 17,1957, from the Department of Building and Safety, City of Los Angeles, to become effective with the 1957 Building Code amendments (including the "Span Tables"), or on or about July 15, 1,957, is quite clear except that ,vhen lumber grades are referred to by names, it means (Continued on Page 58)

"When some men discharge an obligation," said Mark Twain, "you can hear the report for miles around."

You sometimes hear tnl ,J-Jrr. made that the greatest enemy of wood is fire. Not so. Dampness destroys many times more wood than does fire. It is the greatest enemy of wood. Not all wood, of course, for some woods laugh at moisture's destructive efforts. But the av€rage wood is much longer-lived if kept dry enough to prohibit the attacks of fungi. Notice how the wooden furniture in the home, regardless of species, continues free from rot indefinitely when kept inside and dry. The wooden sarcophagi and other wooden articles taken from old Egyptian tombs have been splendidly preserved for thousands of years. The dry, dark vaults kept the wood cf,remically unchanged and free from rot. Moral: When you are using a wood that is not immune to dampness, and in a spot where dampness may occurprotect it in the most intelligent manner possible.

An American traveler in Portugal, many years ago, reported seeing this bit of philosophy posted on the edge of a public forest: "Ye who pass by and raise your hand against me, &tearken ere you harm me. I am the heat of your hearth on the cold winter nights; the friendly shade screening you from the summer sun; my fruits are refreshing draughts quenching your thirst as you journey on; I am the plank that builds your &rouse; the board of your table; the bed on which you lie; the timber that builds your boat; I am the handle of your hoe; the door of your homestead; the wood of your cradle ; the shell of your coftn; I am the bread of kindness, and the flower of beauty. Ye who pass me by, listen to my prayer ! Harm me not !"

Arthur Brisbane, t.*o.r]"ial of other days, used to say that all an ambitious vvriter needed was a brain and a set of Shakespeare. ***

One of the finest compliments ever paid the British as a nation is to be found in Sir Walter Scott's wonderful book, "The Lady of the Lake" He writes of "the generous compassion which the English, more than any other nation, feel for the misfortunes of an honorable foe." From a Scot that is praise indeed. * >K {<

Compassion is a Christ-like characteristic at any time, and in any breast. But the compassion that finds expression in the hearts of warriors for an honorable foe deserves the praise of men and angels alike. Sir Walter could have sounded no finer praise an"it ,1",.*

"Morale," said a certain General James A. Ulie long years ago, "m€ans that a soldier thinks that his army is the best in the world, his regiment the best in the ?rmp his company the best in the regiment, his squad the best in the company, and that &re himself is the best dad-blamed soldier in the outfit." * {< *

And just the other day someone sent in a story that was printed in these columns during World War One. It was about the colored boy who said he would gladly join any part of the armed services except the cavalry. Asked why, he said: "De cavalry may be all right fo' some pupposes, but when dey sound de retreat and de time comes to leave, I don't want to be bothered wid no horse."

It is an interesting an""*t a-ani men who own their own homes are never destructionists. They build up, but never tear down. Therefore those who build the nation's homes are constructing a bulwark of indestructibility against those forces that bore from within.

Our survey indicates that in the 2Gmonth period between April 1955 and December 1956; there were 88 sarvmills in the Douglas Fir region alone that discontinued operations. Three-fourths of these mills cut less than 70M' per eight-hour shift. During the same period, there were only 16 new Douglas Fir mills built, all of rvhich were designed to cut less than 100M' per day. In the same period, 42 pine mills wertt out of business and 13 new ones were added. These figures were compiled in April.

In.1956 the- Douglas Fir region cut 9.1 billion board feet of lumbbr and the Western Pine area cut 8.2 billion. Both rsf these figures were off about 4/o trom 1955. For the first quarter of 1957, Fir production was otr. 3.2/o, Pine was of.f.9/o,, and Douglas Fir. Plywood was down 7/o. For the first time in ten years, there are no plywood plants definitely scheduled for construction in 1957.

In the face of this struggling and

.o*p.iiti.r"

market, a Western wbolesaler told me three weeks ago that he had the best week since his company first started business over lO,years ago. He was not a boastful man and I am sure that he was being honest. When I asked him what his secret was, he said, "Roll with the punches." In other words, he was keeping his organization flexible enough to change over to different types of business when necessary.

This repbrt will touch on some of the recent develooments we have observed from the Portland office and whiih , _ we feel are important. No one needs to be told that 1956 ' tr-d the first half of this year were difficulffor many whole_ ; salers as well as sawmilis. Consequently, the jot 6t main_ taining membership has been extr'emelv difficult. As a re- sult of the weakened lumber markei, many companies have been forced to close down or titterr"h operations. Such actions by member companies .resulted in a net loss

these times of unsettled cofiditions it would seem lik-e

false economy for-anyone in business to attempt a sav-

The necessity of holding and increasing the numerical

strength of the National-American is as-great today as

it ever was. Numerical strength means riuch when an

During the past year, several wholesalers who previously transited lumber almost exclusively have swung their business over to 50 to 60% mill shipment. Others who had stressed green Fir boards and dimension have gone out after new business in plank, timbers and rough cutting. The associated species of the Western Pine region, including White Fir, Fir and Larch, and Lodgepole Pine have received more attention by some wholesalers recently. The time is with us when operations must be kept flexible, as well as diversified, in order to survive.

A few months ago, a Western wholesaler sent out letters to other wholesalers throughout the country asking their opinion on whv a wholesaler in the 'West and one in the East could nol work'together to the mutual advantage of both. The principle and problems involved are not new and have been discussed many times. The majority of answers received from the inquiry agreed that the Western wholesaler, because of his close contact with the producing end, can do a much more efficient job of buying, except in special circumstances where large mills have set up their own wholesale departments. And, conversely, the wholesaler located in the consuming territory can more effectively sell the products of the lumber industry.

There were some who contend that there is not room for profit for two wholesalers in view of the competitive conditidns existing today and extensive direct selling by Western wholesalers and direct buying by Eastern wholbsalers. There are, nevertheless, a number of Eastern wholesalers who are working closely with their Western counterparts, and apparently to their mutual profit.

It is still a fact that no one sawmill or even a few sawmills can give a customer all the service required. The reliable Western wholesaler, and there are many, can continue to pqovide good quality lumber'and at prices which are difficult to beat by going direct. In fact, some of the transit cars we have heard about in

Success of Production qnd Service Pol'icies Give Rounds-Rockport New Offices on 9rh Anniversqry

The Rounds division of Rockport Redwood Company (just South of Cloverdale), recently celebrated its ninth year of remanufacturing and processing redwood lumber with the erection of a large new office building, located just off Highway 101 at the West Side entrance to its big 44-acre plant.

The new offices are modern in every respect and contained in a 3000-sq. ft. building constructed entirely of redwood. The exterior of the new office building is board and batten pattern and the interior offices are furnished in various grades of redwood paneling, displaying redwood to its best advantage. The interior ceiling is done in redwood acoustical decking, a new product designed to combine the natural beauty of redwood with the function of acoustical tile.

"Our new offices, together with several other recent innovations in our remanufacturing program," according to L, T. "Les" Holmes, general manager, "are in keeping with the progressive policies of the company in attempting to provide our customers rvith the best possible production and service available." The new office building houses all of the executive departments of the plarrt, including the shipping, billing, credit and accounting departments. It is also the general office and accounting office for Rockport's sawmills at Rockport and Soda Springs (Sonoma county), which are also under the supervision of Les Holmes.

Rockport Redwood's Cloverdale plant was originally built in 1948 as an additional remanufacturing facilitv for the company's sawmills at Rockport, California. Cloverdale was chosen for the remanufacturing site because oi its ideal drying conditions and favorable location, both in respect to receiving rough lumber from Rockport and the processing of rough lumber from the Sonoma county region and in-transit remanufacturing from Humbolt county mills.

Through the ensuing years, Rockport Redwood Company gradually increased its investment and production at both the Rockport and Cloverdale plants, until today the company employs 36O at Rockport and over 150 at its Cloverdale plant.

The Cloverdale installation now covers 44 acres and

remanrrfactures over 300,000,000 bf of redwood uppers per year. In addition to .this production, which is primarily from Rockport mills, another 20,000,000bf of redwood commons and Douglas fir lumber is surfaced and shipped directly irom the company's mills at Rockport.

Recently, Rockport Redwood Company also acquired a sawmill and 80,000,00obf of timber at Soda Springs, Sonoma county, located in a fine stand of old growth redwood. and Douglas fir timberland. From this mill, known as the Golden Mill, some 40,000bf of cants are shipped to the Rockport remanufacturing plant for processing each day. In addition to this production, and the 140,000bf per shift

produced at Rockport, California, the Cloverdale plant also remanufactures 100,000bf of controlled production daily.

The Cloverdale plant maintains a redwood inventory of approximately 20,000,000bf, of which around 12,000,000bf is on sticks at all times ;70% of this inventory is in upper grades. Kiln facilities include eight dry kilns with a total capacity of 500,000 bf of 1" lunrber per charge. In addition to drying all upper grades of redwood, Rockport Redwood also dries some of its common grades. Diversified shipments are the rule rather than the exception-any combination of rough green or dry finish lumber in straight or mixed truck-and-trailer or carload lots. The firm employs nine of its own big semi rigs for truck and trailer shipments and it maintains a twelve-car spur line to facilitate car shipments.

Rockport's never-ending cycle of mill modernization and improvement was recently capped by the installation of a new Woods Matcher equipped with an Irvington automatic R/L end surfacer and end printer-insuring smooth, even-end milling and end stamping of the brand name "ROCKPORT" on every piece of lumber that goes through the plant.

"We are proud of our lumber and milling and we rvant to identify it as "ROCKPORT" brand forallto see," Holmes pointed out. "This installation, together with our present Glz-A Stetson-Ross and additional surfacing equipment and moulders, is a part of our continuing effort

Ruling on Lumber Stickers

The Southern California Retail Lumber Assn.'has received the following letter from Attorney Joseph K. Horton regarding a tax exemption llorton & Foote secured from the State Board of Equalization on sales of stickers to the dealer: rrAs vou are aware, stickers are used by retail lumber dealers in making truck-delivery of lumber. Frequcntly, these stickers are made by the dealer from lumber which has been purchased by the dealer for resale and, consequently, no sales or use tax has been paid by the dealer in connection with such purchase. In some instances, sales tax auditors have taken the position that the retail dealer is chargeable with a use tax on the purchase price of the lumber used for the making of the sfickers.

"Recently the matter was presented by us to the State Board of Equalization and an exemption was allowed from any tax on such stickers on a sale to the dealer. Such stickers are considered non-returnable containers and, consequently, not subject to such tax. This relates to stickers used in connection with the delivery of the lumber by the retail dealer, and which are nonreturnable. If they are returnable or consumed entirely in connectior-r r.l'ith the dealer's plant operation and are not used for delivery, then it is considered that the same are subject to use tax."

Wcge Hike Hirs Socol Retoil Yqrds

Southern California retail lumberyards having union agreements in the Los Angeles area felt the pinch of the automatic wage increase of 10 cents an hour for hourly employes effective July 1. The present increase stems from the two-year agreement entered into one year ago, which provicled:

10 cents per hour wage increase effective July 1, 1956; payment of 10 cents per hour or $17.30 maximum for hourly employes to a retirement trust fund effective May l, 1957, and, another 10 cents an hour effective this July l-rnaking 30 cents an hour more now than the rate paid one vear ago.

Orrie \\'. Harnilton planned lo inclu<le-an arilcle in an early Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. weel<ly bulletin on the effect the increases are having on the economy of the local lumber industry, and rvhether his dealer members can pay thg extra labor costs rvithout increasing their own selling prices or if they'll have to reprice under the higher costs.

'He Thinks We're Overselling

We t&rink and talk and write so much about Selling that a thought on the other side of the question is stimulating.

Thomas Dreier, in his delightful little magazine, "The Vagabond," prints such a thought. He quotes R. R. Updegraff, who tells about a manufac.turer who retired from business and then took a leisurely trip around the world. He told his son:

"'We Americans are thinking too much in terms of the immediate present. We act as if the world is about to end, and we must extract all the profit we can in a hurry. One afternoon in Java, I found the answer. I was idly watching the endless stream of natives on on€ of the roads in the interior of the island.

Now You Know -

Many shaky risks are included among low-cost home owners, a study reported in The Wall Street Journal recently shows. A Southern California credit bureau made a special survey, found 20 of 30 homeowners in one tract couldn't pass its minimum standards. Credit experts elsewhere agree lots of low-income families are "over their heads" in mortgage debt, the newspaper said. One credit man explained: "Speculative builders, over-anxious to sell new homes, persuade some credit agencies to approve doubtful risks. Lenders often are lenient in granting mortgages with VA and FHA guarantees." The Southern California survey showed that among the poor credit risks were six hom€owners who had previously gone into bankruptcy, six others who had been convicted of felonies. leading sheep and goats, lumbering ox-carts, all on the way to market, with motor cars and bicycles weaving in and out.

"And it all came to me that life flows on century after century, all over the world. Human stomachs don't stay full. Human wants don't stay satisfied. Human needs never cease, never decrease. Why should businessmen ever take a short view? This feeling grew on me as I went on around the world-this sense of the endlessness of human needs and wants. Not just today, but all the years ahead. I got to thinking of the wild business scramble I'd left behind me in America. All the terrific pressure for tomorrow morning's business-and the lack of confidence in next year. I couldn't shake off my wonderment at this situation in so rich a country as ours."

Don't you, dear reader, feel there is a lot of wisdom in his remarks?

Sqn Berdoo Gets FHA Aid

Housing Administrator Albert M. Cole has authorized the use of the special liberal type of FHA mortgage insurance known as Section 22I to finance up to 225 housing units in San Bernardino, California, to help rehouse fa"milies displaced

by governmental action. He specified that at least 200 of the units are to be provided by new construction. The displacement is being caused primarily by code enforcement and freeway construction.

San Bernardino recently received approval from Mr. Cole of its workable program for the elimination of slums and blight. This approval qualified the Catifornia city for various types oI Federal assistance in carrying out its urban renewal program. Eligibility for Section 221 mortgage insurance is the first of these aids to be received by it. San Bernardino also has an urban renewal project in the planning stage.

Monuol of Millwork Revisions

The 1957 edition of the Manual of Millwork has required over one year of preparation by the Technical Committee of the W.I.C. Controversial points have been clarified; grades have been more clearly defined; revisions, wl,ere required, have incorporated more modern methods or standards, and the entire work has been completely reviewed to present a comprehensive yet concise treatise.

Revision was made necessary by the fact that the revised Premium Grade for casework now-requires that "interior construction shall be full web-frame, with dust panels in all webs under drawers." Therefore, the sectional view on page 408 and sections 6,9 and 10 on page 409 have been corrected accordingly. The 1957 edition of the Manual of Millwork will be forwarded to all holders of the Manual in the verv near future. reports James R. Peirce, president, Woodwork Institute of California.

"We ofter personofized service qs well qs q complete line of on-grode produclg"

Another speaker traced briefly thc history of distribution in hardwood plywood, noting that originally the bulk of the oroduction had moved from producer direct to nser. \\tith the introduction of stock pan-els, he pointed out, came the opportunity for jobber-dealer distribution which is lorv about 5O/o of the total volume of domestic l-rardwood plyr.r'ood. This speaker emphasized the need for jobbers to bring the story of the advantages of jobber distribution tcr the hardu'ood plyrvood mills as being every bit as important as carrying on the same kind of educational campaign r'r,ith the fir plywood producers.

Panel members on tl.re hardn'ood plyu-ood discussion included Fred B. Smales, I-os Angeles, representing jobbers.

Mr. Thuresson announced that it was the decision of the board of directors. after a canvass of the membership, and in view of greater potential benefits, that the office of the association would be moved from Ctricago to Portland, Oregon, as of July 1. He told his listeners that adequate space had been leased on the

No Need

"Do you say prayers at your house before dinner?" the preacher asked the little boy.

"No, Sir, we don't need to," said the boy. "My mother's a good cook."

Rhyme'Em

If your custom€rs object to the fees of architect, And you fear they won't erect house or barn on lines correct, Then you must be circumspect. Make your sales talk indirect so they really can't object, So they really can't object, and a flank attack efiect. Thus you'll quickly recollect plan books treated with neglect.

One of them you will select, bring it out with deep respect, Let your customer inspect all the plans and then dissect, Each in turn; the bad reject, finally the best elect, And the estimate subject to your expert intellect. On the lot the house project, then the price in full collect, And you will your trade protect.

Hobson's Ghoice

An eastern man on a business trip through the west stopped at a small hotel in a country town one day. He entered the dining room and a waiter showed &rim to a table.

"Will you have some pork and beans, sir?" asked the waiter, as he brought a glass of water.

"No," said the eastern man. "I never eat pork and beans."

"Dinner is over then sir," said the waiter, as he moved away.

. On Growing Old

Uncle Joe Cannon said on his eig&rty-ninth birthday:

"The way to grow old is to pay no attention to it. Some men retire from business at sixty or so, build bungalows in Los Angeles, and do nothing afterwards but sit on the front porch and listcn to the hardening of their arteries. That's a bad thing.

"A worse thing is to join one of our y€ar-around seashore colonies. There the men all get to be golf cranks, while their wives, never missirlg an auction in the Japanese shops on the board walk, become auction cranks.

"Once I spent a weekend at a seashore cottage where my host and hostess were cranks of this kind. My bedroom was next to theirs, and I trardly got a wink of sleep, for all night long the golf crank kept yelling out in his dreams-'fesg !'and instantly his auction-crank wife would apsqrsl-(fes1 and a half'."

Whor Should You Give o Boy?

What shall you give to one small boy?

A glamorous game, a tinseled toy?

A barlow knife, a puzzlepack, A train that runs on a curving track? A picture book, a real live petNo, there's plenty of time for such th.ings yet. Give h,im aday for his very own, Just one small boy with his dad alone. A walk in the woods, a romp in the park, A fishing trip from dawn to dark, Give the gift that only you can: The companionship of his old man. Games are outgrown, and toys decay, But he'll never forget if you give him a day.

She's only ttre dentist's daughter, but she runs around with the worst set in town.

Whot Do Liberol Arts Meon?

President A. Whitney Griswold, of Yale, is quoted as saying that "the liberal arts" means the arts appropriate for a free man. These, in ancient times, meant grammar, rhetoric, logic, music, arithmetic, geometry and astronomy.

"This is the purpose of the liberal arts," says Dr. Griswold. "It is not to turn out mechanics and businessmen for the workaday trades that we all follow when we graduate from college and start out to make a living. It is to season the timber before it is built into the ship; to prepare tlre apprentice before he becomes apprenticed; to give the engineer a humane conception of the society that he is supposed to be serving with his technological devices and practices; to give the lawyer philosophical and &ristorical breadth; to give all of these enlightenment, taste, virtue and imagination. All these subtle qualities are communicated by properly taught courses in the liberal arts. For 2,000 years in western civilization, given the free choice ttrat sheer poverty and loneliness gave Lincoln, these are the courses that have been chosen-not, if you please, chorus and life adjustment, or how to be a frontiersman."

Conscience

A company received an anonymous letter enclosing a $50 bill. The writer said: "This is money f stole from you; haven't had a good night's sleep since." At th€ bottom of the letter was a P.S. that read: "If I still can't sleep, will send you the balance."

Wholesole Distribufors Told of Tremendous Remodeling Mqrkef

"Repair and modernization of all types of structures offers a tremendous rnarket roughly equal in sizc to new home building," Walter E. Hoadley, Jr., treasurer of the Arn-rstrong Cork Company, told building materials wholesalers at the tenth annual convention of *'holesale distributors of its products.

The cxpansion in fix-up work should help offset any possible further declines in new home building, he declared. The remodeling market, he went on to say, is worth major attention from building materials suppliers because the consumer typically buys in small quantities and wants both quality ancl special services.

"Is the builcling boom over--in the repair and modernization

business? Here the answer can be categorically NO!" NIr. Hoadley then cited six reasons why he expectecl the remocleling rr-rarket to continue to grou'. He said that there r.vere 50 older homes for every new one to be built this year; that those orvners \vere under pressure from both neccssity and stylc obsolescence to repair interiors; that "do-it-yourself " u-as r,vell established; that many farnilies wr:rc forced to consicler expading present homes rather than buy nelv, higher-priced hornes; that money scarcity was less a problem ir-r modernization since a greater portion was done on a cash basis and, finally, that moclcrnization and repair conrpanit.s are being orgar.rized in several sections of the country to benefit frorn public interest in

"fix-up."

He cautioned the u'holesalers, "I tvould suggest that )rou pay less attention to confusing general business developrnents over thc months ahead, and much more attention to market and product trends in your own areas. Don't cxpect gcneral busincss either to stimulate or depress your inclividual business over the year aheacl. All of us u'ill be on our own rlore than ever throughout 1957."

Three new ceiling products wcre announced by J. O. Sampson, manager of the Lur.r"rber Dealcr Products departrnent. Textured Cushiontone, a fissured wood fiber acoustical ceiling material ar.rd two new pre-decoratecl ceiling tiles, callecl Starlitc and Diamond, were shorvn to the asser-nbly.

Armstrong President C. J. I3ackstrand told the audience that the buildirrg materials business offers great grorvth potentials for the years aheacl. He urged suppliers to investigatc the nelv opportunities that the rerlocleling market presents in their olvn afcas.

H. R Peck, vice-president and gcnerral manager of the company's building materials opcrations, discussed the grolr'th of Ar-nrstrong's lltrilding Products division over the past tcn years ancl the part the lr.l'rolesale clistributors playecl in achieving that growtir.

I)iscussing the clual role the typical lumber dealer plays in selling to both contractor and consumer markets, J. V. Jones, general sales manager of the Builcling Products division, said dealers r,l'ho elect to sell to consumers should emulatc tl-re clcalers who have adopted the successful merchandising techniques of other retail outlets. He pointetl out that lou' prices arc no gtrarantee of strfficient volume fron-r the consumcr tracle.

"Price is only one factor in attracting and trolding customers," he said. "The services a store offers are of at least as much importance."

Director of Advertising, Prornotion ancl Public Ilclations

Max Banzhaf outlined the marketing role played by building materials advertising. He said that there are three phases in building a market: the initial stage, the period of expansion and the final stage where the product has wide acceptance.

Dubs, [td. Sqntq Cruz Outing Attrqcfs Record Turnout

WCIA Wins Ad Awords

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association has lvon two top awards in a nation-wide advertising coniest sponsored by National Advertising Agency Network, made on the physical appearance of advertising and literature among 446 American and Canadian entries. The winning advertising program was under the direction of Robert E. Mahaffay, advertising and promotion manager of the association.

Cole & Weber, Inc., Portland, Seattle and 'Iacoma advertising agency handling the west coast account, received the award on behalf of the WCLA. The award on physical appearance of advertising was based on the national advertising program. A different series of ads appears in architects and builders' p*rblications, farm, agricgltural and lumber trade magazines showing outstanding uses of lumber in new design and constructron.

The literature award was based on 11 pieces of promotional

material sent to consumers, architects, builders, county agents and other special groups. Outstanding booklets were a 4-color, 24-page booklet on distinctive homes of lumber. West Coast hemlock and Douglas fir use books and a two-color grade guide acclaimed by architects as a boon to the profession. Other pieces were of the type used by retail lumber dealers throughout the country to promote lumber and encourage interest at both the retail and wholesale trade levels.

CPUC Investigoting Freighr Chorges on Lumber Trucks

The Lumber Merchants Association of California, San Francisco, has been advised that the California Public Utilities Commission is investigating the freight charges being assessed on truckloads of lumber moving between California points where, after arrival of the load at the consignee's place of business, the truck operator is told to make delivery of the lumber at the iobsite located elsewhere. It seems that insufficient freight clpqgel !1ye been collected on these shipments and the CPUC is requiring the truck lines to issue undercharge freight bills igainst these consignees, the LMANC said.

"Some of you may already haye received such undercharge bills and no doubt most dealers will be affected where such diversions have been made in their shipments," a recent LMANC bulletin warned its Northern California dealer members. "If you have received such undercharges or if you believe that lumber moving by truck should have the same diversion priviliges as the rails; please advise this office as there is a possibility of proceedings beginning before the Public Utilities Commission," the bulletin concluded.

HOBBS WALI !s oN THE MOVE

Block Liquidoting Montrose Yord

Montrose, Calif.-Emmet Black, who bought out the Amelang Lurnber Co. at Montrose and Pennsylvania avenues in Septernber 1936 and changed the name to the Black Lumber Company, expected to take down his sign and dispose of the stocks by June 19, liquidating the business after his wife persuaded him to quit and his sons showed no disposition to continue the business.

Lurnberman Black has seen great changes in La Crescenta, lr'Iontrose and the entire Valley area in the 21 years he has been selling lumber to build the hundreds of houses that n<,w dot what was only acres of sand and brush, with scarcely anything above Foothill boulevard, when he arrived lrom Missouri in 1912. Now 80 years old, Emmet Black followd the sun to arrive in Los Angeles when its population was 185,000 and he took up residence at "Athens-onthe-Hill" in the south part of L.A.

He started his first yard at Indio, which was a patch of mesquite and sand at that time. The desert lost its .hold on him and Indio and, after a short stay in Inglewood, he 4cquired the La Crescenta yard which went out of business iast month.

Out of his store of memories, the octogenarian lumber dealer told The Montrose Ledger, "The building business has made millionaires of many in this part of the state, and many others have grown wealthy by contracting. Some knew no more about the business than a jackrabbit." He said some men didn't know a 2x4 f.rom a 4x6 and, with scarcely enough money to buy a door jamb, started in the contracting and building business and prospered. Some had no knowledge of lumber or carpentry but luck and the SoCal boom was with them. He told of one man who was a ffeat cutter before he switched to cutting studs, rafters and joists-now he cuts coupons from investments he acquired in the building trad,e, the elderly dealer declared. He believes the Southern California building boom will last another decade or two.

Of ttre retiring dealer's two sons, Kenneth was helping him out at the yard until the stock is liquidated, when he r,'r'ill return to the construction business, and Leo, the eldest, sells automobiles. Property values in the area of the retail yard have increased four or' five times.since the dealer started the yard in 1936, and there is a prospect a large market may take the large tract lately occupied by the lumberyard and office. The roads bordering fhe yard are also to be widened for traffic. Mr. Black and his wife make their home at 3304 Mills in La Crescenta.

Gorehime Wins Notionql Aword

San Francisco-The Garehime Corporation, 450 Townsend St., last month was named Wholesaler Firm of the Year by the National Retail Hardware Assn. for the third consecutive year. The local firm, which has been winning increasing recognition in the state also for its outstanding work in remodeling retail lumberyards, was competing with 600 hardware wholesalers over the country.

recent weeks w,ere dollars under what they could be replaced for at the mill direct.

C)ur only poir-rt here is that in the efforts of manv tcr buy or sell clirect. some are often blind to the fact that the r,r'holesaler is, in many instances, their best and most proiitable distribution channel. This applies to both Eastern and \\restern u'holesalers.

The vear of 1956 hacl some memorable events. It u'ill certainly be remembered as the one of big mergers. International Paper u'ith Long-Bell, Georgia-I'acific u'ith Coos Bay Lumber Co., Simpson rvith N{ & NI, Weyerhaeuser t'ith Woodard Lumber Co., St. Regis Paper u'ith St. Paul & Tacoma and J. Neils are ferv of the largest. The distribution job must sti1l be performed for these merged companies, and although large companies can possiltlv absorb the

u,holeszrle functions they cannot avoid them.

One of the most energetio steps ever taken toward modernizing the merchandising of lumber came in 1956 when the West Coast Lumbermen's Association introduced new names for their lumber under Grade Rule f 15. Even the old-timers are using the new names, so ttre program must be a success, Serr-ice Ordcr 910 u,as both born and buried in 1956, but rtill not soon be forgotten lty some u.holesalers. The 3.\" board hassle is still rvith us.

C)ne item of neu's that has not receir.ed too much oublicity yet is of import.rnce t() all of us. The state of Oregon last year cut one billion ltoar<l feet less timber than in 1955. If this market keeps up, the sustained yield program rvill get a healthy shot in the arm.

As so often the 'case, the host won the tournament -Carsten Woll 82-13-69. Tom Fleming came in second, 765-71. Apparently the group is correctly named "Tqrrib.le," as half of the contestants couldn't get into the 7O's with their handicaps. And the president certainly lived up to his title, "Most Terrible," with a 9l-9-82.

gram his company has underway to supply materials handling equipment for western markets at the opening of a new industrial truck factory sales and service branch in Los Angeles, June 5. The expenditure is being made, he said, in anticipation of a 150/o increase in the demand for Yale materials handling equipment .in the west by the end of 1965.

The major portion of the expansion cost, Dean stated, is for the new Yale manufacturing plant at San Leandro, California, which recently turned out its first productionline lift trucks. The new plant will also serve as a major parts depot for the eleven western states and will also produce a fine of bulk materials handling equipment.

The new plant is the sole manufacturing site for the new Yale G-3 series of industrial trucks in capacities from 15,000 to 20,000 pounds, which were shown for the first time in the west in conjunction with the Los Angeles branch opening.

The second major project in the western expansion was the construction of the nell' Los Angeles branch giving the company factory representation in Southern California. He said the investment of $325,000 by Yale will bring the ultimate in service to Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Inyo, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.

The facility is housed in a _new 12,000-square foot building which can be readily expanded as demand warrants. Dean stated that an installation of this nature was n€cessary since Los Angeles represents the world's second largest industrial trick mar-ket and "has not yet approached its industrial potential."

Yale representation in the west generally has been doubled in the past 1O months. Four new franchise represen- tative outlets have been created and two sub-bianches added to the company's San Francisco operation, he said. In addition, he added, representation in established territories in the Northwest and Rocky Mountain states has been strengthened.

Dean pointed out that lift-truck use will continue to grow with the spread of automation. By virtue of the Yale & Towne expansion program in the west, he concluded, "Yale is now in a position second to none to handle the challenge of the present and future western expansion of industry."

John W. frlcGlURE

"To the strident whistling of a cardinal high in a sycamore among the hardwoods surrounding the park-like cemetery, John W. McClure was laid to rest in the white oak casket which he had made frbm personally selected lumtier as many friends and loved ones paid their last respects," said the June 25 bulletin of the National Hardwood Lumber Association announcing the death of its only President Emeritus on June 17 at the age of 78 in his Memphis, Tennessee, home. The veteran hardwood industry figure had been confined with a heart ailment the past several months.

"In the words of one of our past presidents, the passing of Tohn W. McClure certainly marked the end of an era, one in i*hich tte gave his best in tilent and energy to the industry and the city hC worked so diligently to improve," the bulletin said. One of the famed lumbermen who helped make Memphis "the Hardwood Capital of the 'World," Mr. McClure began as a

stenographer in the lumber industry in 1896 and rose to its, top leadership before retiring in 1951. He was the top executive officer of the NHLA and lived in Chicago f.rom 1934 until hi.s retirement. The John W.

Greene,89, the architect who is generally credited with "inventing" the California patio bungalow, died June 10 at his Carmel home. His first houses of this type were erected in Pasadena in 1903 for use as winter homes by eastern tourists. His origination of the non-traditional ho{rse form, which was copied and utilized over the nation, was so well recognized that he and his brother Henry were given a special award in 1952 by the Southern California chapter, AIA.

los Angeles Building Boord Approves Use of 'Utiliry' ond No. 4 Lumber With Provisions

(Continued from Page 2)

lumber graded under W.C.L.B. Rules No. 15 and, where the lumber grades are referred to by number, it means lumber graded under the 1956 W.P.A. Standard Grading Rules, Orrie W. Hamilton reported to members of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. in a recent association bulletin.

With this explanation, we might add that while some of our members may feel that the Building Code amendments do not conform in all respects to the changes sought, the City of Los

Grecn Douglcr Flr K. D. Sugcr Pinc o K. D. Ponderoro Plne l(. D. White Fir r Incenre Cedor

Angeles has taken a long step in the right direction, which has been a long time in coming, to protect the public by requiring the use of 100/o grade-stamped lumber on all jobs within the city, Mr. Hamilton's bulletin continued.

What the City of Los Angeles has done will no doubt be promptly followed by action of the other cities in Southern California. It therefore behooves each one of us to refrain from seeking exceptions that rn'oulcl have the effect of delaying the effective date or nullifying the change unless, of course, it is found that additional time is needed to use the lumber that ha<l been delivered to the job before the effective date of the new Building Code, the SCRLA executive said.

Our Lumber Grades committee has worked unceasingly to accomplish the purposes set forth in Amendments of the new 1957 Los Angeles Building Code. We are indebtecl to them, and especially to Rex Clark, for a job well done, Mr. Harnilton's bulletin concluded.

All of our suppliers, to the man, did an outstanding job in presenting their oroducts. We had about 15 booths in all-and I think that more than that r,r.ould have only gone to confuse the public.

If the shorv is to be a one-day affair, it rvould be good to have at least trvo representatives for each booth-since 8 hours is too much to ask any one person to sell to the public.

"It's just about impossible to cover all aspects of the venture here. I'd be more than willing to talk with anvone who might be interested in trying something like this," he concluded.
