OId Timc Pictures

W. C. Bartlett, of A. C. Thatcher Lumber Co., Redding, Calif., has contributed some interesting clippings to our "do you remember" corner. Clipped from the Redding Record-Searchlight, one is a picture taken in 1896, of a train of 11 Sugar Pine logs, the butt log measuring 9 feet, and the last 1og,5 feet. The 11 logs milled 38,000 feet of lumber, 85 per cent of which was shop or better. The log is thought to be one of the largest Sugar Pine logs ever cut in Northern California. A couple of other pictures depict lumbering methods of 40 to 50 years ago, showing the teams of horses and oxen used then. Some of the lumbermen shown in the old photos are Jim Glassburner, Gorham Flood, Ben Copper, Harvey Pritton, George and Niman Flood, B. B. Brown, Johnny Flick, George Peck, Doc Young, Fred Klemmer, and B. H. Startt, first r,r'hite child in the Fall River area.

Ncme oI New Floor Tile Chcrnged

New York-The name of the new Johns-Manville floor tile is being changed from "Permalite" to "Terraflex."

This change is made because the word "permalite" is being used to describe products containing perlite ingredients. Although not in the same field, the prior use of "permalite" might create future confusion so Johns-Manville is adopting Terraflex for its plastic, asbestos floor tile announced on June 4, 19€.

The demand for Terraflex during the past two months has so far exceeded production facilities now in operation that distribution must be limited and Terraflex will not be immediately available in the Pacific Coast states.
