How Not To Promote Internqtionql Goodwill

Of interest to fellow golfers rvould be a story we heard recently about Hollis Jones, now sales manager for Western Door & Sash Co., Oakland. Hollis was recalled into the Navy a couple of years ago and served some 18 months in Japan. It seems that he was out one day for a game, however, found the course crowded as usual. He placed his ball in an inclined starting rack behind about 30 others whose owners were sitting out by the first tee arvaiting for their turns. About then Hollis spotted some friends rvho invited him to make a foresome. They were about to tee off, so Hollis went over to get his ball out of the starting rack, however in the process knocked the lvhole rack over. As you can imagine, some 30 balls bouncing around with their or,vners scrambling for them and trying to find their places in the rack again made quite an impression on Hollis. Good thing there wasn't an Admiral there !

Tokyo, July 20-T'wenty-trvo Japanese promoters today approved a plan to build a iumber and pulp mill at Sitka, Alaska, capable of turning out three billion cubic feet of lumber annually.

They formed an investment company to establish an American corporation to be called the Sitka Lumber and Pulp Company.

T1're committee selected Junichiro Kobayashi as president and Tadao Sasayama as chairman of the board of directors.

The approval r,vas unanimously adopted by the Japanese promoters of the projected Alaska Pulp Co.

The president, Kobayashi, is director of the Council for

Integrated Counter-Measures for F orest Resources of Tokyo, the central organization for planning the establishment of the mill in Alaska.

The council said it will take at least two more lveeks until the Japanese company will begin functioning.

The mills rvill be capable of producing 100,000 tons of pulp annually by the fourth year, the council said.

The new company will start with a capital of 1,500,000,0@ yen (about $4,167,000) of which 80 per cent will be financed by Japanese and the rest by Americans.

The 22 Japanese promoters include representatives of the synthetic textile industry, lumber industry, paper manufacturing industry and the Council for Integrated CounterMeasures for Forest Resources.

Holding Hqrdwood Flooring Clinics

To help dealers sell more hardwood flooring and thereby preserve for lumber the dominant share of the big residential flooring market, the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers' Association has launched a nationwide series of dramatized sales training clinics.

Presented for the first time in Youngstown, O., and Pittsburgh, Pa., in J;une, the clinics will be held wherever the demand warrants, according to Henry H. Willins, association secretary.

The clinics, developed under the direction of the association's advertising committee, are the result of a year's planning and research. They utilize professionally produced materials, including recorded examples of "right" and "wrong" selling methods, charts, life-size cut-down figures, and a handsome kit of sales aids and instructions.

James B. Wiseman, assistant to the president of E. L. Bruce Company, Memphis, Tenn., acted as master of ceremonies at both opening clinics. He was aided by Willins and Milton Craft, president of Chapman and Dewey Lumber Company, Memphis, and immediate past president of the association.
