Frank Trower Comes Out Strongly for Ben Woodhead for Snark of the Universe "Friend Dionne: I read with much interest in your August lst issue of the movement to elect Ben Woodhead as Snark of the Universe. You are .evidently a believer in the power of under-statement, for when you quote me as saying that Ben's election would be 'acceptable' to California Hoo-IIoo, you are putting it very mildly. I venture to interpret their opinion to the extent of saying we would be very highly pleased with Ben's election as Snark. He is eminently qualified fqr the exalted position and is such a man as would give real leadership and devotion to the order and its highest ideals. Ben is rvell (and therefore favorably) known in California as well as throughout the country. He filled a position on the Supreme Nine when Dick Hiscox was Snark of the Universe. California HooHoo appreciate the fact that Ben gracefully stepped aside at last year's .Annual at New C)rleans and would not contest the office with Le Master. Therefore, if for no other reason, rve will be glad to do what we can to elect Be4 Snark this year. I hope there will be a good delegation

from Texas and the South and that Dick Putman rvill go.

When Hoo-Hoo of the great and glorious states of Texas and California join together for any good purpose, they are hard to beat, whether it is running a lumber newspaper or electing a Snark."

National Building Figures Surpass 1924

By TACK DTONNE

We have heard a lot of talk about the busihess depression of the past sir months (and there HAS been one, of course).

But the building figures for the entire country fail to show it. Under date of August lzth, Bradstreet's announces from their Chicago o6ce tteir compiled building figures for the first seven months of this year, and they will probably surprise a whole lot of people who have been tdking about '"building depression."

One hundred and sixty-five cities of the country reported for the first seven months of 1924 building permits totdling $1W0,752,7+5.

The same cities for the "a-e months ol 1923 reported a total of

$1,979,532,530.

The gain shown in 6.4 per cent.

And everyone admits that things are in better shape today than they were at any time during the first seven months of the'year, so there is reason to believe that the next five months will show improvement over the conditions in the building industry that prevailed during the first seven months.

Depressions such as Presidentid Year usually bring, are 99 per cent mental, and therefore they disappear like fog.before the sun, when tlre reaction takes place.

The whole country is going to have a brisk building business this fall.

Wait until the farmers begin bringing in their high-priced wheat, corn, cotton, etc.

THERE IS ROOM FOR OPTIMISM.

Southern California Building Big-Los Angeles Coming Back Stron$

Southern California had a good month in July' The building depression is already losing its depressed condition, just as The California Lumber Merchant has been predicting in its optimistic editorials' Los Angeles permits jumped a million dollars above June, totalling $tl,599,782.

Glendale figures were the third largest in the history of

that thriving little citY. Pasadena rvent over its figures for the same month last year.

Long Beach had a fine month. So did many of the other cities and tolvns of Southern California.

The Southland is back on the building job again' 81the first of next January the depression will be entirely gone, and things will be booming again.

The building going on in Los Angeles today rvould be a boom for any other city of its size in the rvorld' Contrasted with the huge figures of a year ago' recent totals have looked small.

But they are coming up again, and should continue to improve right along. General conditions in Southern California are much better than they were sixty days ago, and the general feeling on th'e part of the public is immeasureably better. llere are July building figures for many Southern California cities : $l r,599,782

Stop Making Six to Two's

By Jack Dionne the matter. The dealer condemns them, but keeps on buying them because they're cheap. The rnilt condem4s them but keeps on making them because he says the dedbrs buy them. The builder is seldom shown just exactly *hat an interest he should rightfuly have in the matter, afd puts a thin shingle on his house simply because no one has bccn friendly enough to him to *plain tte difference"Friendly" is really ttre word. The dealer who sclb a man a thin shingle roof wthout first expl'ining or demonstrating to him the difference between thin and better shi!gles, has been guilty of an unfriendly acL He bas likcwisc been guilty of bad buqiness ethics, because it iE HIS bttsiness to see that every man is housed in the best possible way, and when yotr deliberately permit a man to cover his house with thin shingles, you have done that man an injustice.

The merchandising end of the ttring gives the ttin shingle no chance on eartlr. I have talked to scores of re@il lumbermen in the past six months who have adopte{ a plan or scheme for demonstrating the difrerence between various grades and thicknesses of shingles, and they rmlvcrsdly agree that the customer who is showa the differ$nce' t(> thickness. gether with a fair statement as to the price differeice, will The trouble seems to be the lack of organized effort in four times out of frve choose a better shingle than a 6 to 2

Thin shingles are the bunk !

It seems as though everyone interested in shingles agrees to the truth of that slang statement.

When you cut wooden shingles thinner than five butts to two inches, you have made them perilously thin, and have endangered the good name of wooden shingles.

Here's the way it stands now: every shingle man you talk to says that the thin shingles are a mistake, and that it would be far better for the shingle industry if they rpere no longer manufactured; every retail lumberrnan echoes this thought, and generally adds something to it; every builder who is shown the difference between the thin and the better shingles, and then shown how small is the difference in cost, wants the better shingle.

So there are the three-the ONLY thre+people who should really be interested in the question of shingles, and they are all agreed that the 6 to 2 shingles should go into the discard, and appear no more.

Then why do they still make the thin shingle? AU they've got to do is set the shingle machine a little deeper, and have nothing come out of them less than 5 to 2 in

August t5, lY24

I can refer you to scores of suc?r dealers, vrho will tell you that even the smallest home builder will take a thick shingle without hesitation, when shown the difference, and that it is really amazing to see the buyer select high grade shingles when given an opportunity to judge for himself.

The American shingle manufacturers should be learning a lesson from their Canadian competitors, for the Canadians have gone blissfully on their way, offering and visualizing their thick, high grade shingles, and have found markets for them in the very territories that have been long referred to by the American manufacturers as territories that demanded the ttrin'shingles The fact is that no one has ever really demanded thin shingles. They were made by men trying to make shingles as cheap as possible, and offered to a trade that knew no better.

But the time has come when the dealer realizes that he owes a duty to the builders whom he serves, and who buy his goods, and one of his chief duties should be to see that no man puts a bad roof on his house without first having the value of a better roof explained to him.

One of the great retailers of the country said to me several months ago, and I reproduced his words in these columns: "The retailer of lumber owes every builder this obligation-to see that he gets a good foundation and a good roof for his building; if he must skimp, let him skimp in between, but if he has a good foundation and a good roof, he has a good building in all likelihood."

That is a lesson that every shingle maker, and every retail lumberman should take home with him. Give people good roofs. And thin shingles-while they may be and JOHN G. McINTOSH, C. P. A.

probably are better than a whole lot of roofs that are being offered the people of today-are NOT the kind of roofs that the lumbermen should build if their business is to endure.

It really seems as though NOW were a golden oppor: tunity for the makers and sellers of shingles to do a great stroke for their industry, by eliminating the 6 to 2 shingle, for all time.

Sell good shingles, see that they are nailed with long life nails, and you have sold a roof that will be an advertisement to your good business acumen for two generations, and give excellent satisfaction all the time.

OREGON DOOR COMPANY USES SPECIAL CARE IN DRYING With the use of their battery of Moore moist air kilns. the Oregon Door Company, Portland Oregon, has, whaf their officials believe to be the last word in effici.encv and thoroughness in the careful care that they give to the drying of all stocks that go into the manufacture of their

product.

Acrording to J. H. Lausmann, secretary and treasurer of the Oregon Door Co., especial care in manufacture handling and particularly in drying, Douglas fir lumber products, b-rings its reward in added profits and a steady volume of business even in times of slack demand for ordinary lumber products. He remarks that that is good business and that he is willing at all times to spend two dollars to get an additional three. He insists that customers come back to his company and pay $1 to $2 more a thousand feet for its products.

MY FAVORITE STORIES

By Jack Dionne

Age not guaranteed-Some I have told for 2O yea$-,Some less.

. SPRING THE GAG One of the best old preacher stories that ever went the rounds, was that of the preacher who was discussing "Revelations," and had drawn a most terrific picture of the last day, of the rising of the dead from their gtaves, and of all the fearful things that are predicted for that time, when the Lord comes to "separate the sheep from the goats." He put'this sheep and goat separation over with much force, and then brought in his great climax of the serrnon. Drawing up his form to firll height' and rising both hands on high, he shouted, and each time he repeated the question his voice swelled in volume and effect:

"An when dat awfut time comes, brcdern an sistern, de question every one will have to 'nswer is-'who'll be de sheep, and who'll be de goats?' 'Who'll be de sheep, an who'll be de goats?' 'WHO'LL BE DE SHEEP AN WHO'LL BE DE GOATS?" Unable to stand tte terrific suspense any long, Mose Jackson rose up and answered:-

LAST WORD IN SERVICE The Whiting-Mead Commercial Company of Los Angeles, has just recently added another feature to their customer service plan that is making a decided hit with their trade, and is causing no small amount of favorable comment.

This institution maintains a large down-town

each one with a capacity of about twenty-five people, and they maintain a regular schedule for these cars,. running from one office to the other. The busses, all Reos, and

display room and sales room for all of their stocks, except the lumber

d.ppartment. They handle practically everything that goes into a house, plumbing supplies, electrical goods, paints and varnishes, hardware and other things that gives them a large range when

figuring with a prospect.

Their down-town offices are at Ninth and Maple, and their lumber yards are on Vernon Avenue, about four or five miles

South, and not easily reached by street car.

So they have made it

possible for their customers to reach the yard easily, and

at no cost, by installing a fleet of large passenger busses,

Grove of Giant Redwoods to be Franklin K. Lane Memorial

To honor the memory of Franklin K. Lane, former Secretary of the Interior, who was the first President of the Save the Redwoods League, a magnificent redwood tract at Kettintelbe, Humboldt County, will be dedicated as the Franklin K. Lane Mernorial Grove on Sunday, August 24th, at 2 p.m, Simple and appropriate outdoor ceremonies unden the ancient trees will mark the dedication of the grove.

Governor Friend W. Richardson has been invited to attend, as has also Secretary ol Commerce Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the Franklin K. Lane Memorial Committee. who is now in California. Mrs. F.ranklin K. Lane, now a resident of San Francisco, and members of her familv will be guests of honor at the ceremcinies. A bronze tablet set in a natural granite boulder dedicating the grove to the memory of Franklin K. Lane will be unveiled as a part of the exercises. Invitations have been sent out to tha 5.000 members of the Save the Redwoods League, to public officials of the state and nation, and the pubtic generally is cordially invited to attend.

The Franklin K. Lane Memorial Redr,r'ood Grove is one of the finest tracts of timber in the Redwood Belt and contains some of the largest and most symmetrical specimens of these trees,, many of them close to 2,M yearJ old. It contains practically 20O acres at the present lime and was purchased by a fund established by the friends and admirers of Franklin K. Lane, headed by E. E. Ayer of Chicago, a Councilor of the Save the Redwoods Liague. A fuither fund for the purchase of additional area and for the improvement and upkeep of this grove and the public camp ground in conjunction with it, it is expected, will be raised,

although the grove as it now stands is a complete unit.

This memorial grove has. been deeded to the Staie of California to stand as a part of the Humboldt State Redwood

Park.

The Franklin K. Lane Memorial Grove is located on the Redu'ood Highway at Kettintelbe (the old Indian name of the place^-for' years known as Phillipsville), Humboldt County, 228.6 miles north of Sausalito and 65'miles south of Eureka. It borders the South Fork of the Eel River.

Ten Years Ago-Now And Ten Years Hence

By Jack Dionne

"There has been a great change in lumber merchandising in the past ten years, but there will be a still greater change in the NEXT ten years."

So said a wise student of the lumber industry the other day. And if he was right-and we believe without doubt that he WAS-then the aspiring lumber merchant who would keep up with the times, and with the public demands for service, must get ready to do some "stepping".

For great changes have taken place in ten years.

Ten years ago we were writing our first editorials concerning the use of retail lumber plan books and plan service. The first genuine lumbermen's plan books were then appearing in the field, and the lumbermen generally were wondering what the new "fad" amounted to.

Ten years ago there were not over a handful of retail lumbermen in the United States who were really ADVER-

TISING. Ten years ago modern merchandising offices for retail lumbermen were practically unknown. Sales rooms, plan rooms, service rooms, etc., \ rere not yet born. Plate glass fronts and display rooms were about as scarcg Ten years ago they were practically all "Mr. Pip's", but they didn't know it.

Ten years ago the average retailer took no thought of the opportunities that surrounded him for CREATING BUSI-

NESS by direct and intelligent effort. . He simply used his energies and his ingenuity tq get the biggest possible share of the business that PRESENTED ITSELF. The CREATM instinct had not been aroused.

Ten years ago only one big producing lumber Association

ln the world was advertising its goods, and trying to help create a DEMAND for its product. That was CYPRESS. Today they are ALL doing it.

TEN YEARS AGO THIS WRITER WAS EDITOR. IALLY BOOSTING PLAN BOOKS AND SERVICE, SERVICE ROOMS, ADVERTISING, BUSINESS CRE. ATING, MODERN BUILDING STORES INSTEAD OF LUMBER YARDS, ETC. And he hopes to continue that work until every lumber MAN becomes a lumber MERCHANT, and until the buildfng merchant occupies his proper place in the scheme of things.

Ten years from now there will be few "Mr. Pip's". The sweep of progress, the demand for service, the survival of the fittest, will have wiped him out. The lumberman will know more about the building business than anyone elseincluding the contractor-he will be the building authority in every town, and it wiU be his knowledge and his service that will be dlsposed of to the public, rather than his stocks.

Exporting more than 50,000 rolls of building, roofing and mulch papers to foreign countries during the first seven months of. 1924, the Pioneer Paper Company of Los Angeles reports its greatest gain in export business since its organization thirty-six years ago. According to William Henry, vice president and general manager of the concern, a gain of 3OO/o in exports for the first part of the year over the total for the entire year of L923 is indicated.

Shipment of the Pioneer products was made to Japan, China, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands, and the West Indi'es, Mr. Henry stated.

The products are manufactured at the plant of the firm located at 55th and Alameda streets in Los Angeles' The increased export business is due principally to the successful usage of paper mulch in the plantations of the Hawaiian Islands, and to the unprecedented amount of rebuilding now going on in Japan. Each year the Pioneer Paper Company imports more than 5000 tons of rags from Belgium, Germany, England and France, to be manufactured into felt, the basic commodity of the mulch, roofing and lrrrildinq

Lawrence Upholds Publist [, Statements California Lumber Merchant, Los Angeles, California.

Gentlemen:

A short time ago at a Hoo Hoo luncheon yc urlpublisher, Mr. Jack Dionne, made a statement to tl e effect that the time was past in Southern Californi r when lumber or any other product would sell itself : nd that it is necessary now to make a real sales effort and deliver real lumber sen'ice in order to market t rig pro' duct, but that there was no reason to give up Decause a product did not sell itself. This last statr ment f believe our company has demonstrated. Eve fY Y9an we have been adding to our organization an< CqurPment various units that will improve our lum )er service. The result of our consistent effort is tha' {uring the first six months of 1924 we marketed 2l' 6 more lumber in Southern California than during t he first six months of. 1923. This in the face of the f rct that the total lumber receipts for Southern Califon ia were less by approximately 21/o in 1924 than in ll tz3.

We merely want to point out that what Mr. Dionne says is true-that for those who put fonvarr I a real sales effort and deliver a constructive lumber there is no such thing as business being rotter ,.""*t"' Yours very truly, .

T. B. La wrence,

Magnesite Stucco

The nature and kind of aggregates used rvith magnesite are as important to the manufacturers have issued specifications foi use of their formation of a satisfactory oxy-chloride cement as the kind materials and the manner of their application.

One of the chief fallacies still maintained by many peoof magnesite used and t6e mannet and method of its calcination. Simply mixing magnesite with any kind of an ple is- that the Magnesium Chloride is graddally teainea aggregate will invariably show poor results. Magnesite is out__of the oxy-chloride cement by wetting and that evennot a wonder material, it will not do the impossible. It will tually the magnesium chloricle is entirely le"ached out, therenot produce an excellent or satisfactorj' job if the chief fac- by causing the material to disintergrate and fall off. Such tor moving the person using it is cheapness and no regard is not the case. While it is true that the magnesium is given to proper application. Magnesite is not diffelent chloride.does partially leach out by constant wetting, the in that respect from ordinary cement. Many a cement prc.,cess.is very slow and in the melntime the oxy-chloride stucco job cracked, buckled, chipped, fell off, etc., because cement by absorbing carbonic gas from the air gradually init was not properly applied or mixed.

The chief cause of troubles strength of the oxy-chloride cement is not impaired.

(Continued from Page 39) Government and the Dow Chemical Co' the results being the work of several years' In referring to the data upon the replacement of the loss of chloride-by increase of*the carbonate content in the oxy-chloride cement the Dow Chemical Co. reports as follows: "The outstanding feature of the data is the proof of the Eradual increase in the carbonate coincident with the loss 3f in" Magnesium Chloride rvhich is gradually leached'out of the oxy--chloride cement. The second,important {eature of this daia is, the evidence that the physical or mechanical strength of a good oxy-chloride cement, is not impaired- or damaged to any noticeable extent during this conversion of the magnesium oxy-chloride to the hydrated magnesium carbonate. These facts support the belief that magnesia stucco is a permanent building material in spite of the quasi solubility of the oxy-chloride of magnesia which is the binder. At the worst the washing out of the magnesium chloride is a very slow process and the absorption of carbonic gas and the reconversion of the magnesium should be expected to normally compensate for the loss of the chloride at any stage of the life of tfie stucco."

This investigation indicates that no fear need be held regarding the permanency of l\Iagnesia Stucco if highgrade ingredients are used in its composition and if it is applied rvith the proper specifications.

"It is significant that the higher grades of this material are inherently permanent to the weather and are independent of any waterproofing protection."

In summarizing, I desire to state that rvith a little care on the part of the user or dealer in (a) the purchasing of a standard material (Containing a sufficient amount of magnesite and the proper aggregates), (b) following of specifications in application; and (") bearing in mind that cheapness of price alone is not sufficient to assure satisfac-

tion; results of a highly gratifying nature-can It is my opinion that oxy-chloride cem€nt ' to make 6ven greater strides that it has, "Enclosed find a very small check in pa very large and indispeb.,?li*:?f;.)

The Vbod Conversion Company Congratulates the Lumber Dealers IVho Pioneered in the Sale of BnrsAM-V/ooL ,T,HE Wood Conversion Company publicly thanks and congrat-

I ulates the lumber dealers who have been helping put over BALSAM.WOOL. You have been breaking insulation sales records and with a new product. You have demonstrated again that the retail lumber business hasn't lost its ability to merchandise a good product.

In the first 16 weeks of this year you handled as much Bm.snu-Wool as

was sold during the entire past year. Rumors of depressions and bad business were in the air. But that didn't stop you.Your repeat orders show that you are more than keeping up with the fast pace you set.

The remarkable thing about the increasing success of B,r.Ls.llr.'woor, is that most of the dealers who are selling it never handled insulation before.

They invested their money in Bu-sau-Wool purely on faith.

Many of these dealers went to the trouble and expense of personallytesting out the insulating value of B^als.qu-Woor. in their own homes. Many lined their new homes with it. Others used it in the roofs of their old homes.

Today these dealers know without doubt why we call B.ql-sA,pr-Woor. a home-building necessity. They and their families know greater home comfort than they ever knew before. They know of the ease with which an insulated house is heated in winter-the freedom from heating worries and sizable fuel savings. They know the ioys of sleeping soundly on a hot night under an insulated roof. They know that B,c.r.sA.u-Wool has added a lot beyond its cost to the investment value of their property. No wonder they sell B.ll,sn pr.Wool.

Good Home Advertising Page Make-flp Hundreds of newspapers in hundreds of towns and cities tave published full page advertisements, showing the various lists of dealers in home building materials, equipment, and furnishings, who participate in the advertising effort.

Some of these have been excellent, and some only fair.

The most original effort of that kind that has come tc. our editorial d€sk for some time, is a page from the Bulletin, a San Francisco newspaper.

They show a big picture of a house, and surrounding this house picture there is twenty advertising cards. Each card is that of a firm that supplied something for this house.

The house picture is a drawing, so made that wherever nec-

essary it shows the interior as well as the exterior of the building, and THERE IS A LINE DRAWN FROM THE ADVERTISING CARD TO EACH COMPANY TQ

THAT PARTICULAR PART OR THING IN THE

HOUSE WHICH THIS FIRM FURNISHES. This directly and interestingly connects the advertiser with that which he has to sell, and leaves nothing to the imag,ination.

The physical figures of the page are as follows: complete space inside borders, l9l by 16l; size of house cut, llf wide by 9l deep; heading across top of page, 2 inches deep; advertising cards entirely surrounding house picture, 4 inches deep by 2 inches wide, and there are 20 of these cards.

Included in the cards were lumber dealers, shingle dealers, stucco dealers, asbestos dealers, contractor, plumber, gas heaters, mill work dealers, insurance, tile, furnace dealers, painters, flooring dealers, water heaters, brick dealers, awning dealers, etc.

North Coast Weekly Letter "Signed Order Acceptance Wins Case."

If there ever has been any doubt in your minds about the advisability of securing signed order aiceptances from your customers rvith the advice we have given quite liberally on the subject during the past year, this dou6t should be-dispelled after reading the following facts covering a controversy between a Settle member of our Association and a retailer located in Michigan. Following our advice saved this member about $350.00 in this one cise alone.

FACTS: On January 29, 1924, a commission salesman wired Seller for quotation on one car of 1x6'110 to 20' regular pe;centage shorts list differential No. 2 Clear & Betler Slash Grain Hemlock Flooring. Seller wired a price same date. On January 3lst buyer placed formal order with the salesman, but specified 2 M each 8-10 and l2', ZSOO' 14' and 16 M 16', which specification was wired by the salesman to the Seller on Feb. lst.

On Feb. 2nd Seller wired salesman unable to accept specified lengths, but r.vould accept random length tO'to 20' rvith usual percentage of shorts at list differerice. On Feb. 5th salesman wired se.ller that buyer would accept loading per Seller's wire provided mill would load as neir as posl sible to specifications submitted, heavy to 16'. On Feb. Zth seller wired salesman "best can do ihip random and will favor 16' TggF.as possible but cannot guarantee any excess amount of 16'."

- On February 8th salesman wired acceptance of this and formally sent buyer an acknowledgment specifying lS% 8 and 10', balance L2, 14, 16', heavy as poisible 16, No. 3 accumulating at list difference. On Fibruary gtfr seller

sent buyer formal acknowledgment specifying "usual percentage shorts list difference, No. 3 developing at $3.0O less, load heavy as possible to 16 ft. Carbon copy of this acknowledgment being signed by buyer on February 13th and returned to Seller.

On Feb. 26th seller invoiced GN 10631 with 3514 ft. 9' and under, 3580 ft. lO', 4296 f.t. I2',3668 ft. 14,, 4704 ft.

16' and 3608 ft. No. 3. On March 6th buver advised salesman that lengths were not satisfactory on account of the small amount of 16' and that invoice would be returned.

On March 14th buyer wrote seller stating that the car was refused as the salesman promised 60% 16'. After much correspondence it was finally decided that car would be acggptgq and a fixed amonnt of $295.04 plus approxmiately $48.00 demurrage be submitted to arbitarali,on. Buyer contends that several verbal conversations with salesman gave him assurance that 60/o 16' would be shipped.

DECISION: The contract between the buyer and the seller is clearly set forth in seller's acknowledgment which buyer signed and accepted. This written document takes precedent over all and any verbal agreements buyer maf have had with either seller or the commission salelman, in f_act the agreernent is very clear on this point in PP 3-A of "West Coast Terms and Conditions of Sale" which werd printed therein and made a part of the contract. The shipment made by seller is clearly within the conditions of tho co-ntract. -I! i!, therefore, held that the buyer shall pay seller for full invoice value without deductions."

And It's the Same Old Story Now

By Jack Dionne 'Ien years 'ago I said to a great gathering of retail lumbermen: There are three ways for a retail lumberman to get business:

WAITING FIGHTING MERCHANDISING It was true then. It's just as true now. The only difference is that there are several thousand more lumber dealers in,the country TODAY who are going after it by the latter route than there were then.

Yet the WAITING and FIGHTING class doesn't seem to show any signs of disappearing {rom the face of the earth, either. We keep hearing about them right along, particularly about the FIGHTERS. Of course, the WAITING class is never heard from to any great extent. Every now and then a grand roar comes up from some dealer who tears his hair and rends his nether

garments, cursing the competitor in the "next town" because the trade is going from his town to buy over yonder.

Whenever you hear THAT roar you w:ill know that one of the WAITING class has shown his ability to wait longer than his custom,er, and that the customer, tired of waiting for some sign of life from his local dealer, heeds the call from ten miles off and g'oes over tb see who is calling, and why. Antl he generally comes back with a wag'on load of lumber.

These three divisions of retail lumber,m'en never seem to change. The most admirable division of course, is the MERCHANDISING. It is needless to state here what we m,ean by THAT term. We tell it oftep enough.

The question which is the next WORST-not BESTway to get business, ,is problematical. It is to discuss THAT problem that this is written.

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER IIERCHANT (Continued from Page 53.)

The WAITING meth'od is that used by all doctors, and

a lot of lumberrnen.

The FIGHTING melhod is adopted by a whole lot of lumber dealers. This is the bunch that require long knives, brass knucks, and heavy hammers at all times, when they are out after business. They keep both eyes-and generally both fists--on their competitors, and so have little time to figure what they can do for their customers.

Of the two, the WAITING class is by far the easiest to belong to. lt is likewise the least productive. It is unethical for doctors to advertise farther than to put a card in the business directory. They must simply WAIT until the misfortunes of others bring trade to their doors.

Then, if they don't kill their first patients too quickly, others may conre. Many lu'mbermen follow that way of getting business, and whatever else may be said for the meth,od, they certainly save themselves a w:hole lot of work.

There is only one choice of medicine to cure this sort of

He can only exist long in a one yard town, or in a town where the other fellows are graduates of the business school.

The FIGHTING dealer there is more hope for, because he DOES display one virtue in his operations-ENERcY. It is misdirected energJ/, because they don't use their brains to tell them where to put their activity, but they ARE gifted with one of the prime assets of success, and all you've got to do to help him is to take his warlike weapons away from him, and start their energies in the RIGHT direction-that of MERCHANDISING. 'Ihe FIGHTING retailer is more to be pitied than censured. Don't pity his motives-he 'hasn't any. There is nothing personal about his business fighting.
