Bob Cole Appointed Representative

The Monarch Door and Manufacturing Co' of Tacoma, Wash., have just appointed R. A. (Bob) Cole, of Los Angeles, their representative in California and Arizona'

Mr. Cole, formerly of the firm of MacDonald & Cole, recently returned with his family from a four months' tour of fourteen European countries. Beginning with Lisbon, the highlights of the trip were captured in moving pictures' including views of Hitler and exciting events at the time of the Austrian annexation by Germany. Holland at the height of the tulip season and a journey through the beautiful English countryside completed a most enjoyable vacation.

While abroad, Bob spent some time investigating various angles of the importing business, but due to unstable price "onditiont and political unrest encountered everywhere, it did not look at all attractive and he returned convinced more than ever that the American lumber and building industry is one of the soundest in the world, and he has chosen to continue in his particular field, the door business, with a view to adding other conjunctive lines from time to time'

The Monarch Door and Manufacturing Co. is one of the newer fir door plants, manned largely by old-timers in the business, whose policy has been evolved from today's need for a more diversified operation.

Mr. Cole says: "I've just returned from a visit to the mill and their set-up seems to fit in particularly well with the requirements in this territory. From every standpoint I am happy to present Monarch doors because I feel that in addition to the unique merchandising features offered they represent a quality of workmanship and material that is unsurpassed."

Dealers Furnished With Redwood Posters

An attractive poster in two colors which reads "Redwood Siding Protects This Home" is being furnished free to lumber dealers with their name inprinted by the Redwood mills to put up on jobs where Redwood siding or rustic has been used. Orders are to be placed for the posters through any Redwood salesman.

The Redwood manufacturers state that the extra cost of Redwood siding over cheaper material for a small home works out at only three cents a day during the life of an FHA loan.
