Sold exclusively through Lumber dealers. Decorated by Nature...lmproved by Man Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar owes its heritage to sunshine, water. and a tree fungus with an artistic sense of humor. Man takes it from there. Laminating to strengthen and insure against through pecks. Milling to straighten and create edge design. Sandblasting to remove fungus residue, if desired.

The designer then adds his talents. A dramatic entrance flanked by a natural setting for plants. Or perhaps a friendly acoustical wall for stereo, family or music room. A durable surface for high traffic commercial applications or a fascinating disclaimer for kitchen or bath. Mountain, beach and resort homes add their accolades to Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar. A com-

patible paint and stain holding temperament ofiers unlimited opportunity for expression, with little or no maintenance. Excellent insulating characteristics make Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar a fitting companion for surf, snow or sand.

Sold By You Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar has been a good money-maker for many dealers throughout the West. It's a lumber product with specialty item mark-up, and one inventory goes both ways...inside and out. At the same time Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar is promoted for you in consumer media and directly with decorators and architects. The surest way to g€t your share of this business is to have Lam-Loc Pecky Cedar on display. A new multiplex unit, which will fit-in with your existing display or stand on its own two feet, is yours for the asking.

Redwood Porks-Pro qnd Con

Pro:

Stuart Udall, in a recent talk before an urban group, asked if anyone had ever done anything for conservation. A voice in the back of the room answered, ool once shot a woodpecker."

The redwood industry has done much better than this, as readers of our columns know full well. In addition to the eight thousand acres of prime riverflat and scenic timber the industry is still reserving for the state, they have recently come up with a recreation plan for their lands rvhich would make them available to the public.

Let's look at what this means:

(1) It will keep the timber and land on the tax rolls.

(2) The land will continue productive and thus contribute its rotating crops to the gross national product.

(3) Roads for access will be privately maintained.

(4) Safer and more pleasant conditions for the recreationist will prevail.

(5) You will be able to hunt, pick berries, rock. hound, bring in your dog, ride horseback and get free campfire wood-all prohibited in government parks.

(6) No charge for use vs. a charge in government parks.

(7) Competition with commercial hotels, motels and resorts as government parks do ?-of course not. This plan will help them.

(B) Game management can be much better controlled for wildlife preservation.

(9) And don't forget this-there is no cost to the tax,Wyer.In fact, the private owners are paying taxes for the privilege of maintaining their land for your benefit.

There are many other advantages too lengthy to list here.

If you love the redwoods as we do you will do all in your power to back the industry's Redwood Industry Recreation Areas (RIRA) plan.

Con:

There are many plans before various agencies to increase the acquisition of redwood timberlands. If all of them went through, an estimated one-third of all redwood timber by volume, as well as the production potential of the land, would be lost forever. National Park Service Plan #1 alone would reduce the production of redwood mills in Humboldt and Del Norte counties by 27 percent. This means that private owners who have planned their timber acquisition and production for perpetual yield would have their cycles completely disrupted and would be forced to either sell out completely or take staggering losses in readjustment.

Arcata Redwood, Miller Redwood, Georgia-Pacific, Simpson and Pacific would be wounded in various degrees from a mortal wound to 20 years in the hospital. You see, for each acre of old-growth taken out of production, you automatically reduce the capability of the mill by that much to stretch the old-growth young-growth transition of the next quarter century. Thus, you can see how badly each private owner will be w-ounded when you know how many of his acres will be acquired. Believe us, several of the above named will be dead if any one of the various plans is adopted.

But let's go further. Economic law tells us that scarcity produces higher prices. Result here is a decrease in production-thus higher prices. Higher prices mean more competition from substitute materials. Net result is that redwood would be priced out of its major markets. The whole region would sufier, and the public would be depriveJ of one of its best buildine materials.

For what? For the preservation of some virgin growth for posterity that is already more than adequately preserved by an enlightened cooperation between private owners, the Save-The-Redwoods League, and the state of California. W'e don't believe the people of California, or of the U. S. A. for that matter, can afford to stand still for this kind of rape. We suggest they get behind the owners who are giving them their all for recreation purp{rses lree, and. at the same time paying taxes, keeping thousands employed, contributing valuable merchandise to the sross national product, and giving you, Mr. Retailer, a real quality product to sell.

L-M Opens Giant New $1 Million Buildins

Materials Center California's Largest

f UMBERMEN'S MERCANTILE, fast be- L coming a leader in California retailing, took another giant stride last month as the firm swung open the doors to a new $I million building materials ssn1g1-1hs largest in the state.

Situated on a seven acre site in Tustin, Calif., the new center boasts a huge 50,000 square foot showroom and warehouse that will stock "everything for home construc.

tion except wet cement", according to the firm's slogan.

Coupled with their "One low price, cash and carry" selling approach to building and remodeling contractors, homeowners and farmers. L-M comes to southern California loaded for bear.

The new cash and carry store is of concrete tilt-up construction throughout with paved parking for over 200 cars out front.

CAI.IFOTNIA

A giant l0 by 20-foot sign commands attention for blocks around and it revolves atop its S0-foot standard.

A bright, all-glass store front welcomes customers to the neat-as-a-pin showroom than spans 6,000 square feet. On entering, customers are invited to "take a number" to speed-up the service.

Wide aisles allow plenty of browsing room among the displays featuring everything conceivable in building materials. 'oBuilt-in" type displays offer a complete line of kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures and appliances. Throughout the store each item is priced-marked and the emphasis is on brand name building materials.

Another unique feature of the store is the "big board", stationed behind the 45-

spans 45 feet. Handsome displays (center right) at one end of the 6,000 sq. ft. showroom feature a complete line of doors from Strait Door & Plywood Co., and paneling by Jones Veneer & Plywood. A "built-in" display of kitchen cabinets (lower left) complete with appliances is also featured at the

showroom as well as the latest in bathroom fixtures (lower center). Harvey Kocher (left at lower right) gives the sales pitch to a local contractor on L-M's line of cabins and vacation homes. one of the hot items at the new store. L-M offers four cabin designs with complete materials from the foundation up.

foot long service counter. Here specials of the week are listed and priced, similar to a stock quotation board in a brokerage office.

Nestled in one corner of the showroom is the Cabins Department. L-M ofiers a line of four custom-built cabins designed for the desert, beach and mountains. The cabins range in price from $3695 to $5480, complete materials from the foundation up, F.O.B. the L-M yard.

The firm will soon erect one of these cabins in a corner of the parking lot and give it away to the lucky L-M customer whose name is drawn.

At the rear of the showroom, a sign invites customers into the warehouse where more displays of doors, paneling, and hundreds of other building materials are stacked ceiling-high. Build-your-own.load carts are stationed throughout the warehouse.

Adjacent to the warehouse is a five-car rail spur and several acres of lumber storage.

By trimming away the fat from a retail operation, L-M is able to ofier materials at rock-bottom prices. For example, the company owns no trucks, but rather uses leased vehicles when hauling is necessary. They also have no credit system, although salesmen do assist customers in arranging loans with local banks.

No newcomer to lflestern retailing, L-M

was founded in lB95 in Shelton, Washington to supply lumbermen and their families in the logging camps opened up by the Simpson Timber Company in the Pacific Northwest. These early stores, much like the old-time general store, supplied not only building materials but also gioceries, soft goods and everything from chewing tobacco to hobnail boots.

The company at one time operated 13 line yards in Washington and Oregon, but these yards are being phased out one by one as the company shifts its selling concept to a "cash and carry" basis.

L-M began its California operations in (Continued, on Page 77)

SIe have attempted in publicationg and films by the Sierra Club to check carefully the factual material that is used.'I am well aware that our interpretation of facts and statistics is frequently in conflict with that of the lumber industry and with some paofessional foresters. "The Wasted Woods" was not produced by the Sierra Club, but since we have endorsed and distribute the fflm, we must accept responsibility for itg contents. I have discussed your criticism of the film with Mn David Bower, our Executive Direotor, and will bring your letter to the attention of our Publications Committee and the Executive Committee of our Board of Directors. If the statements in the film cannot be ddended, I believe f can give you reasonable assuraJrce that corrections in the narration will be made or the fflm withdrawn. f must, of coursg reserve judgment until we have had the opportunity to review the film and'study your criticism of the nanation.

on private land, the industry is moving more actively into National Forest lands. In Oregon, during the past ten years the proportion of the total cut coming from private lands has decreased 43 percent, and the proportion oI the total cut coming from the National Forest lands has increased by 137 percent. The W'ashington, D.C. lobbyists of the lumber industry pressure congressmen for larger cuts of government tirnber, and they oppose the passage of laws that would insure intelligent and civilized logging practicesespecially on privately held timberlands.

Who can measure the waste in our land of old newspapers, magazines, and cardboard cartons? If the annual per capita paper and paperboard consumption is the measure of civilization, we stand supreme --=436 lbs. per person, twice that of Great Britain, four times greater than France, twelve times greater than Italy, sixteen times greater than Russia. The United States produces one half of the world's supply of plywood, 43 percent of the paper and paperboard, 4O percent of the wood. pulp, and 30 percent of the lumber. In the last ten years production of newsprint in the United States has increased 94 percent; cardboard 105 percent, and paper towels, 102 percent.

Lewis Mumford has observed that the sound of our civilization is the rustle of paper-most of it meaningless and trivial,

but behind it is the ubiquitous sound of the chain saw. Mountains of wood chips to be used in the manufacture of paper. Over the deeades the industry has made paper from the largg old-growth trees. Today, both large and small trees togetler with some saw mill residues go into the huge piles of chips outside the papermills. Soon the industry will scrape the surface of the land. Is this. prosperity?

Millions of acres of cutover land need to be planted-84 percent of this neglected area is under private ownership. Man knows how to plant Christmas trees and experiment in tree nurseries. Some of the industry is planting seeds, but their methods are experimental and by no means always successful. But as a public relations technique they have diverted attention from the need for adequate legislation to conserve our vanishing forest heritage before destruction occurs.

A huge volume of timber rremains in the woods as waste or logging residue. Over the years about one foot of every four has not been utilized. Government foresters estimate this unused wood left in the forest each year as waste equal a pile of cord wood four feet high and four feet wide extending around the world. The annual waste at sawmills-most of it burnedequals a second pile extending around the earth.

W'e are told: Only you can prevent

forest fires. Yes, the camper and the fisherman must be careful. Bad logging practices created most of this hazrird. Logging debris, when exposed to the drying efiect of sun and wind, constitutes the most serious forest fire hazard. A severe fire burns the rich organic content of surface soil and in a few hours can destroy the soil tlat was built up over centuries of time. During the past fifteen years in Oregon and Washington alone, tlrere have been over 50,000 forest fires that have burned I,000,000 acres of forest land. The Tillamook fire in 1933 burned over 267,000 acres in eleven days, and it destroyed enough timber to equal the entire timber cut of the U.S. for that year.

Man disfigures the face o{ the eart}r, but he cannot return the land to its original beauty. Tree farms and sustained yield are little more than slogans. The destruction of our timberlands and of the natural and human resources they nourish will continue unless conservation principles are enacted into law. Only public opinion can force effective rule of conservation on a powerful industry. Only you can decide if the lumber industry is to be allowed to perpetuate its heritage of devastation or whether some measur,e of the nation's heritage is to be preserved and restored for future Americans.

! 839,327 readers tore out the booklet to keep

n 157,489 readers visited their lumber dealers

tr 12,16l readers sent in for plans and more information

That's real action. If you haven't already tied in, there's still time.

The first ad in this series, on second homes, ran in April. The results above (based on a Better Homes & Gardens suney) surprised even us.

The second, on Add-a-room and remodeling, ran in JuIy. And the third, on built-in plywood storage, appears in October.

These three blockbusters will drive hundreds of thousands of people into dealer showrooms, looking for ideas, plans and plywood.

The brightly culored banner running across two full pages in this

unique advertising format delivers a solid punch.

And the eight-page booklet, inserted below the ad, gives the reader the ideas that will help you sell more plywood-as well as lumber, hardwarg paint, etc.

ONVERSATION-whaI a subject! Dr. Eliot might easily have filled his five foot shel{ of books with animated disputations on this subiect alone; and still have had sufficient materials left over to found a library. There is probably only one subject known to man more boundless in opportunity for discussion of every character and kind than "the use of conver' sation," and that is the "misuse of conversation."

A great thinker once said('lsngu6gs is given us that we may say kindly things to one another." Why not make that the text of this discussion? To what finer cause could conversation be dedicated than the dissemination of kindly, friendly, cheerful, inspiring, helpful thoughts?

Pericles of Athens, ,J ,..", ,f,* ,n 1ro.t glo*ing era of all the history of this thing that we call civilization was named after him"The Age of Pericles"left to all thinking humans a priceless heritage. Not the colorful and admirable accomplishments in art, drama, marble, or the development of the beautiful in all things; something 'bigger and better and more lasting even than thcse wr.s his example in the use and manipulation of the most powerful of all created thingswords. For Pericles, one of the most gifted and matchless talkers of all the ages, prayed to his Gods before every public utterance, that he might use no unnecessery word, and misuse no word.

From the Persians t tO *l nuu" lnoan". maxim of great portent, if we will but heed. It says; "Ther'e are two infallible signs of a weak mind; to speak when you should be silent, and to be silent when you should speak." Would it not be well to amplify that thought in every modern school curriculum, in order that by the process of absorption, such fine philosophy would find general distribution?

BY JACK DIONNE

Remember Kahlil Gibran's matchless description of the conversational powers of the Man of Galilee? "He was speaking to His {riends of love and strength. I know He spoke of love, for there was melody in His voice; and I know He spoke of strength, for there were armies in His sestures." Was ever a more perfect description written of the true use of conversation?

What says another thinking man on the subject of words? "To know the words of the great men who are gone is compensation for having to listen to the mediocrity of today." For in the "olden days" it was the condensed and agreed opinion of thinking people that conversation was an art; that every word should be carefully chosen, and selected, and given its burden of meaning, or power. impression, color, force, or what not, So it was that conversation of the better sort was reserved for people of thinking capacity and quality. We find that great and good man Marcus Aurelius saying to one of lesser degree: "A slave thou art; {ree speech is not for thee,t'

Opinions of this matter changed, however, for we hear Voltaire of France, he one of the incomparable wit and rapier-like tongue, probably the most gifted conversationalist in this world's history, uttering these words: "I do not agree with what you say; but I rvill die defending your right to say it."

Freedom of speech had come. But, as in all things, as quantity comes in the window, quality goes out the door. Conversation degenerates; its uses are fairly engulfed by its abuses.

Because the USE of conversation is the 'exchange of ideas through the medium of well selected rvords expressing interesting thoughts into interesting words and phrases, and illuminating them with the personality and character of the speaker, is the finest art of conversation.

No-Check Siding ls Versatile New Product

If companies, like people, are prone to resist new thinkins and become "set irr their ways" as they get older, there is at least one long-time manufacturer of forest products that hasn't yet learned thev :rre getting old.

Pope & Talbot, Inc. has been in business for lI5 years, but their product line has the vigor and versatility o{ a modern. market-oriented manufacturer prod'rrcing what the market needs rather than attempting to cling to a static product and risk the danger of falling behind in a changing construction industry.

A typical example is No-Check plywooC siding which is designed to stop weather checking and grain rise. This is done by recognizing the basic characteristics of plywood, and confining the inevitable seasoning checks to a small area where it cannot

clisturb the surface and cannot, in fact" even be seen.

The virtual elimination of visible weather (Continued. on Pag,e 76)

HALF 0F IHIS Texture l-11 oanel received NeCheck striations. After exposure for two years no checking or grain rise has occurred in the No-Check portion.

CI0SEUP of NoCheck panel shows the panel's beauty.

N0-CHECK striations conceal repair patches in the face of the panel (lef0. This wall section, photographed from a distance of six feet has t'en patches. How many can you find? At right, the total in-place cost for No-Check siding

for these Gladstone, 0regon, apartments was 26.4 cents per sq. ft. No0heck was also used profitably on the R. A. Long Elementary School at Longview, Wash-ington, as yrell as several other new construction projects.

f f vOU HAVE a wide building area, then you will want to take advantage of this feature and select a plan which will extend across most of the lot. A wide home looks more impressive and is usually moro livable.

If you are building on a busy street, you should consider placing your main rooms at the rear of the design. This will create a private living area at the rear of the house from which a well planned garden can be enjoyed-as well as outdoor living-most of the year.

Very few homes have as spacious an entry as this one. The double entry doors are flanked by stationary glass panels through which sunlight floods the entry.

From the entry, all rooms may be reached directly without going through another. This arrangement reduces tracking of dirt and insures privacy.

Only partial walls separate the entry from the private-world living room. The massive fireplace is in the corner so the sliding glass doors could be placed in the center of the rear wall. This arransement has proven to be superior for furnitirre arrangement.

The kitchen provides plenty of space for an efficient arrangement of equipment, cabinets, appliances and an ample size eating area. If preferred, this nook area could be increased in size by extending the front wall until it is in line with the front wall of the garage. This could be done during the construction of the home and at very Iittle additional cost.

The partial wall at the rear of the builtin range and the opening between the kitchen and family room allow conversation between occupants of the two rooms and a view from the kitchen to the rear patio.

All of the bedrooms are generous in size and will accommodate twin beds. The luxurious master bedroom suite consists of a bedroom with sliding glass doors to the patio and a high sliding window for cross ventilation and furniture arrangement, a dressing room-with a built-in dressing table-and a private bath with a semi-pri. vate toilet and a twin pullman lavatory.

Southlond Yqrds Hit by Rioters

Lumber and huildine material vards in scattered locations throughout southern California were rictims of the violence that resulted from the recent Negro riots in Los Angeles, August 12-l(r.

At least eight firms were attacked by the cir-il rioters with Molotov cocktails. rifle and shotsun blasts. vandalism and torches.

Frank M. Curran Luml,ci Co. in Santa Ana sustained damages estimated to lre in excess of $10.000. according to owner Frank Curran. Prar:tically all dry -qtock rvas destroled along with thc sheds, the home improvement department lost thcir business records. and the trucks were sr:orched. Onlv the olfice was sar,ed. Like many of the other riot-damaet'd firms, Curran had to hire guards to prot('ct from further losst's. But he is still open {or }.rusiness. working at a retluced rate as the,v painfulll, rebuild.

Also badll damaged rvas the T. NI. Cchb Co. operation at 5800 South Central in Los Angeles. Losst's ruere cstimated to exceed $10,000 by Ray Cobb, who t'mphasized. as did man,v others involved, that without the quir:k and courageous help of the firc and police departmcnts the damage and loss w.ould havt' been far greater.

Su-syrecting trouhle after reporls of tht' riots on Friday night, Ray Cohb, his father. T. N'1.. and his brother arrived at the plant at 5:ll0 Saturday mornins and founcl hroken u.indorvs and small damage. They staycd until two cleaning up and then u-ent to lunch. returning at 3:30 to find that the rioters had started st'r'eral fire,.. The fire-s had lrt'en reduced to smoldering.. smoking ashcs hy tht' sprinklt'r system, hut the rvater had also started electrical fires in some oI the machinery.

Buena Park Lumber & the lceland Market

f'here's mur.h commcnt now about the lumber husiness being slow in southern California, but with a little initiatir.e. there is business to lre had. At least that's what retailt'r Jim \elson of Buena Park Lumber Comptrny sa1.s when he talks about his shipmcnt of [,am-Loc Pecky Cedar to an automobile dealership in far ofi Iceland.

It seems the president of BitreidarLandhunadarvelar ducked down to southern California to gt:t away from the midnight sun, and rvhile here. went over to see how

the lumber business is run at this cnd of the pole. Appart'ntl1-. he took off his earmuff-* lsng errough for a sales pitch lr1'

Jim Nt'lson who has part of his own olfict, paneled with tht' cedar. It became obvious that thr. wood would create a nice warm feeling up in the land whcrc the polar nights last all day.

A{ter some quick calculations, it was determincd that I 100/ of paneling would be required i.o provide a snug setting. Be. fore you could say Bitreidar-Landbunadar-

JIM

an automobile dealership a more attractive place to purchase the new machine. lt may wreck the dog sled market, but that's progress

velar, the dcal was concluded. The shipment went from l;os Aneeles to Nen' York l,y r.ril ulr,'r',, it *rr pi,k,'.1 up l,y tht, Icelandic Steamship line.

Jim is now r:alculating the futurc potential in Iceland, "With flame proofing to mect the local code" there should be plenty of isloos which could be made more decorative and benefit hy thc insulating characteristics of wood."

Your customer doesn't always know. It depends on two things . . . the type of metal roofing he's using and the number of squares to be covered. To find the number of squares, multiply length times width of each surface to be covered. Add total of surfaces, and divide by 100. Determine the type of roofing, select the proper length nail, and refer to the table below for the number of pounds to a square. Multiply by the number of squares, and sell your customer the pounds of protection he needs, in Deniston nails.

Kitchen Clinic ls Big Hit

A successful Kitchen Remodeling Clinic which attracted about 100 kitchen prospects was conducted recently in Los Angeles under the joint sponsorship of three companies: the Long-Bell Division of International Paper Co., manufacturer of Luxuria kitchen cabinets; Gildon Distributors, Long-Bell kitchen cabinet distributor in Los Angeles and the Southern California Gas ComPany. The clinic featured two kitchen remodeline authorities from the Southern California Gas Company-Phil Lowitz, kitchen designer, and Donna Barkdull, home modernization advisor.

Lowitz gave a 4S-minute presentation using color slides and covering every facet of kitchen remodeling.

Miss Barkdull ofiered individual assistance to those in attendance, counseling them on their kitchen remodeling problems.

The clinic was held on a Saturday morning in the Gildon warehouse in conjunction with a warehouse sale.

As a direct result of the clinic, one kitchen job was sold immediately and l0 prospects asked to have their kitchens measured.

Record Timber Sqle

In the largest timber ofiering ever made by the federal government, the Forest Service has announced plans to sell 8.75 billion board feet of Alaskan timber with a stumpage value of $25 million. The timber will be sold in a sinele lot at an oral auction late this year. The Forest Service will determine from sealed bids those qualified to take part in the auction. Ihe sale w-ill be advertised for the next three months.

The successful bidder will be required to establish a pulp mill as chie{ consumer of the timber. In addition, possibly 25 percent or more of the timber may be valuable for conversion into lumber, plywood or other non-fiber products, the Forest Service stated. Cutting period of the contract will be 50 years. The timber to be offered consists of mature and over-mature stands near Juneau, the capitol of Alaska.

Sub-Committee OK's Lumber Sizes

The American Lumber Standards sub-committee on standards has unanimously agreed on a compromise recommendation for dry and green sizes and has urged that the full American Lumber Standards Committee, due to meet September 15, approve the sizes and that they should be submitted to the Commerce Department for promulgation as official industry standards.

The agreement, reached through compromise by all included, caps a battle that lasted for years and once threatened to split the industry and bring the government into the area of standardizing lumber sizes. Observers now seem confident that the end is in sight. They foresee industry-wide acceptance and an end to the intra-industry fracas.

The sub-committee's report read, 'oThe sub'committee recom' mends to the full ALS Committee the lollowins sizes based on l97o maximum moisture content:

Nominal: 5/8"

Dry: 5/V'

Green: ll/16"

Nominal:

Dry: 5-r/z'

Green: 5-5/8"

with the provision that the 5/a allowance for pieces exceeding the L9/o maximrm moisture content be deleted and with the provision that appropriate equivalents for redwood and western red cedar be included."

"These sizes were also recommended to apply to thicknesses up to and including 4" nominal.

"The sub-committee recommended {urther that the dressed widths for finish items be those contained in the 1964 proposed revision of SPR-16-53, with the exception that the nominal 3", N', 14" and, 16" sizes be 2-9/16, 3-9,/16, l3|,1 and I5l4" respectively. This action was taken to provide the same dressed widths for both finish and dry dimension items."

Simpson's Demonstrqtion Forest

Demonstration Forest, a living example of modern forest management in the northern California redwood region, has been opened to the public by Simpson Timber Company at Blue Lake, Calif.

This is the second of six Demonstration Forest opened to the public by Redwood Conservation Council member companies.

Purpose of the RRCC program is to show the public how redwood forests are being managed for continuous tree crops that will yield forest products, jobs, taxes and recreation opportunities forever.

The Simpson Timber Company Demonstration Forest is an impressive four-acre stand of 4,0-year-old redwoods, with trees mea' suring nearly two-feet in diameter and 107 feet tall. A word-and' picture display, with brochures and signs tell the story of the site and forest mana$ement practices. An 800-foot trail, covered with redwood chips, provides a pleasant walk through the forest. Picnic tables and rest rooms have been provided for the public.

news andvrews

by BOB McBRIEN executive vice president of the Lumber Merchonts Associotion of Northern Colifornio

fN A FEW SHORT weeks the American public will once again r be overwhelmed with one of the nation's greatest advertising and promotion pro€jrams. The stops will be pulled and every pos' sible attraction will be cited as a reason for ,buying the newest and best automobile yet to be made.

Each vear at this time the automotive industry unleashes its superb creative talents to win more consumer dollars-and this at the expense of any and all industries. They are not particular who they "beat out" for the sale, as long as they make the sale. And they are willing to give enough credit to make it appear easy for the public to pay the bill while enjoying the comfort. convenience and prestige of a 1966 car.

SERVING THE SOUTHWESTERN RETAIL DEALER WITH CHOICE

OLD GROWTH REDWOOD

"Complete Inventory-Lll Sizes & Grodes, Green or Dry-fer every pulpose" home of

IHE VATUE and need for advertising and promotion is the subject of this month's column by LMA's Bob McBrien.

It occurs to me that our industry has a long way to go in selling the benefits of a product which really ofiers much more com{ort, convenience and prestige-that is an up-to-date home. It needn't be a new home, but it can be a new home at the same addrcss, thanks to the products and services ofier,ed by many retail lumber dealers.

I'm amazed at times in looking at the advertising and promotion done by local lumber dealers-some of it is excellent, and some of it leaves much to be desired in terms of public interest. But in all instances, it's a sure-gone conclusion that more advertising and promotion must be undertaken if we are to win some of the "sales" from the automotive industry- from the European vacation. from the boatine industrv and others,

As outlined in this issue of Calilornin Lumber Merchant, one o{ the topics to be thoroughly discussed at our upcoming Top Management Conference is advertising and promotion. The data to be presented is based on known. successful pro€lrams which have increased dealer sales and profits.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite all dealers, LMA members and non-members alike. to join in this important conIerence. I promise you that the time spent will be weli worth your effort and the results will be clearly apparent. Just give me a call at the LMA oflice and we'll make vour reservation.

LMA's special marketing and distribution study is rolling along at a {ast pace with completed returns from nearly 100 retail dealers now being tabulatcd. These ertensive questionnaires will provide LMA and the industry with data never before assembled. And. it is hoped. this data will help to push our industry ahead verv rapidlv.

I{ limitation }re flattery, flattcry it be. Other lumber dealer groups are expressing considt'rablc interest in our study and are preparing similar ones for their members.

McCormick & Boxter Now Using Cellon Wood Treoting Process

Complete new facilities for the pressuretreatment of wood by the revolutionary Cellon process have been placed in operation at the Stockton, Calif. plant o{ McCormick & Baxter Creosoting Co.

The Cellon treatment of wood to preserve it against attack by fungus, decay and termites is the first completely new process to reach the wood preserving industry in many years. Under other processes, preservative chemicals are oils, while ,the new process uses liquefied petroleum gas as the carrier for dissolved pentachlorophenol

crystals. When the carrier has accomplished its purpose it is removed by changing it to gaseous form and pumping it out of the cylinder, but the preservative re-forms into crystals which remain deeply inbedded in the wood.

Beside giving deeper penetration, the Cellon process leaves the wood entirely clean and paintable.

McCormick & Baxter's Stockton plant initially is treating a large quantity of utility poles by this process, but later will produce Cellon-treated lumber, plywood and other forest products,

Cellon-treated wood was introduced in the Western states in 1962 by Koppers.

Moulding Producers Meeting

The Western Wood Moulding Producers met in San Francisco in mid-August and elected new officers, authorized an expanded national publicity program, and discussed moulding standards.

Elected president was Gayle V. Morrison, Sunset Moulding Company,Yuba City; vice-president, Kieran P. Madden, Ponderosa Mouldings, Inc. Redmond, Oregon; treasurer, T. J. Hedrick, Continental Moulding Co., Orange, Cali{ornia.

Other directors elected were G. Clifton Baxter, Mouldingcraft, Inc., Klamath Falls, Oregon; W. H. Cramer, Mountain Valley Moulding Co., Dorris, California; Nelson C. Edens, Southwest Forest Industries, Phoenix, Arizona I and Graham McNary, Forest Products Co., Albuquerque, New Mexicro. Warren C. Jimerson, was re-elected secretary-manager.

Highlight of the program was a presentation by the WWMP promotion group wliich showed in detail the current WWPA woodwork program.

Mqssive Arcqto Acquisition

Arcata National Corp., a subsidiary of Arcata Redwood Company, has agreed to purchase for cash J. W. Clement Co., Bufialo, one of the nation's largest commercial printing companies, in a multimillion-dollar transaction.

Included in the proposed sale are the J. W. Clement plant in Depew, the industrial park that Clement and Time, Inc., have been developing, and the following three Clement subsidiaries: Computer Printing Corp., Buffalo; Pacific Press, Inc., Los Angeles; and Philips & Van Orden Co., San Francisco.

J. W. Clement's employment exceeds 3,000 in the four operating divisions. Among the national magazines for which Clement does a large volume of printing are: Life, Reader's Digest, Fortune. Sports lllustrated, Newsweek and TV Guide. All but Life and Reader's Digest are handled by its West Coast plants.

Housing Stcrrts Look Dismql

Although housing starts nationally rvere off only three percent in July, the latest figures available, it represents the lowest level for housing since January. July's 1,459,000 private housing starts calculated on the seasonally adjusted annual rate is seven percent below June and three percent under July a year ago.

The major factor in the national decline in starts is due to a badly sagging Western market.

Western non-farm starts are off one-third from last year, according to Charles E. Young of the Western Wood Products Association. The trouble in California is due mostly to the oversupply of residential units, mainly in multi-family units.

The soft market locally has caused many Western lumbermen to shift their marketing efforts to the South and North Central regions where July starts were up respectively sixteen and twentyone percent above last July.

Despite the current Western sag in this important lumber market, Dr. Young sees recent indicators as pointing to an increase in starts during the balance of the year.

Western Millwork Goins

A strong five year trend to western manufacturing by the millwork industry is seen by the Western Wood Moulding Producers, following analysis of the preliminary report on millwork plants released by the U. S. Bureau of Census.

'Warren Jimerson of WWMP, said the figures show that the Pacific area increased total dollar value of millwork shipments 49/o trom 1958 to 1963, the largest gain of any producing area. The average national gain for the same period was 22/o.

"lnnovqtion in Trqditionol lndustry"

This headline set the stage for a most interesting second annual Forest Industries Marketing Conferen"", .pon*r"i by the Forest Industries Management Center of the University of Oregon School of Business Administration.

The two-day conference was held in Eugene on the university campus and was organized by Dr. Stuart U. Rich, director of the center.

Out of the meeting came these developments:

(1) Are you looking for a bright young trainee for your firm? The University of Oregon will supply you with a graduate in Forestry who has two years business training in their school of business administration and quite likely a foreign language skill too.

(2) Restrictive fire and buildine codes are the bueaboo of the lumber industry. Almost "u"ry rp"uk"r in lhe arehiteit, engineer, builder category complained that his use of wood was restricted because of constantly narrowing fields where it could be used. There was general agreement that the industry should muster all the strength it could at local levels to fight the code battle. Competing materials are working this field t ard, while the wood industries have not used their potential.

(3) A great deal of progress has been made in the development of siluichemicals, but there is still a long way ro go.

(a) The paper and pulp industry, while developing a staggering array of new products made from paper, has done so with outmoded equipment, a minimum of research and development, and practically no advertising. Even the industry speakers sgemed amazed at what had been accomplished with so little activity in these fields. There seemed to be some optimism that this branch of the {orest industries might soon make some money. Surprisingly, the food industry is by far the industry's largest customer.

(5) Long range planning is easily possible for mills dependent on government timber in Oregon because, at present production levels, there is 60-70 years of virgin timber left on these lands.

(6) Private timber owners ur" in transition from virgin to second growth. Tomorrow's trees are as important as today's. Within 20 years or so private owners will be growing a relatively uniform product and will plan their manufacture and marketing of forest products on this tree.

(7) There is a revolution in marketing taking place. Retailers are specializing to a much greater degree with many becoming wholesalers. Manufacturers are also making wholesale sales to a larger degree. The traditional wholesaler is barely holding his own. There are 4800 firms now engaged in the manufacture and distribution of component parts!

This con{erence is making an increasingly valuable contribution to the forest products industry. Why not plan your vacation to coincide with it next year?

New Do-lt-Yourself Slucco Woll Pockoge lntroduced

"Stucco-Kit" a new self-contained package that includes all the necessary materials to prepare walls for stucco, has been introduced by K-I"ath Corp.

Each Stucco-Kit contains enough StuccoRite (one-step application of reinforcement and waterproofed building paper) and nails to do 100 square feet of area. Stucco-Kit was introduced to dealers less than 30 days ago. "Convenience" is the nearly unanimous comment from all dealers.

The dealer and his sales people can sell Stucco-Kit as a package in a minimum of time. Compare this with gathering small quantities of assorted materials and then having to figure the area to be covered and tell the customer how to do it. Some dealers say that this old fashioned way can take as long as 25 minutes.

The attractive red, white and blue package, complete with display rack, is not only an attractive display but carries installation instructions on the outside cover. The instructions are cleverly spelled o'ut in cartooned style and will convince the customer how easy the application is before he even opens the package. Additional written and picture instructions and a supply of nails are inside.

Dealers who are stocking Stucco-Kit have stated that this is not only a convenience in selling the customer who needs backing material for small stucco jobs but can be a sales builder for the customer who har wanted to do this kind of work but has brren afraid because he feels it's too difficult. The simple rne-step application makes a buyer out of him.

Stucco-Kit can be used as backing for exterior stucco walls, brick work inside or out, or as waterproof reinforcement behind ceramic tile in showers and tubs.

Los Angeles Plywood Crisis Now Being Resolved

The explosive crisis over plywood quality that has become know to producers as "the Los Angeles situation" is being resolvedand the solution has lead to a better approach to plywood quality testing, according to James R. Turnbull, executive vicc president of the American Plywood Association.

Speaking to the Southern California Plywood Association, a distributors' organization, Turnbull said that Los Angeles has been the focal point of the crisis, but that plywood markets throughout the nation have been at stake. He added that all markcts are benefiting from the solutions

which have developed in the wakc of the Los Angeles crisis.

Turnbull outlined for the distributors the series of events that lead to the quality problems in Los Angeles, examined the de{ects in the basic inspection and reporting systems that allowed the problems to in. cubate over a period of years, and explained what the association and the industry are doing to insure a continued high level of quality for plywood bearing DFPA grade-trademarks.

From the standpoint of the association the appearance of substandard plywood in

Los Angeles has been expensive, he said. When it tightened the loopholes that permitted the crisis to develop, the association lost membership involving about one billion, one hundred million feet of production.

In retracing the steps that led to the Los Angeles crisis, Turnbull said the board of building and safety commissioners there was first aroused about three years ago by the appearance on various job sites of significant quantities of sheathing grades of plywood 'rvhich showed areas of delamination.

The city proposed drastic remedies in late 1964, and the association responded.

I would like to request your permission to reproduce this in our association publication, The Lumber Merchant.

This was a very blunt talk but one that contained much that we have been trying to get across to our dealers here in Nebraska.

We would, of course, give your publication full credit for the article.

I have enclosed a self-ad-

dressed stamped envelope and would appreciate your reply as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration.

Yours very tr-uly,

U.5. Plywood Lifetime Siding

United States Plywood Corporation has announced that its Weldwood prefinished plywood siding sur{aced with polyvinyl fluoride film, is now guaranteed for the life of the building on which it is installed against cracking, chipping, crazing, blistering, flaking or peeling.

'Ihe new guarantee, "the strongest in the building materials industry," according to U.S. Plywood president Gene C. Brewer, makes possible the name change from PF15 to Weldwootl PF-L siding. PF-15 siding, surfaced with DuPont's Tedlar film, originally carried a l5-year guarantee.

"Our confidence in this unprecedented guarantee stems from a number of factors, including our experienr:e in the field since this prefinishsd -siding was introduced in 1962; tests dating back to Nlarch 31, 1943 when thc first Tcrllur film rnas erposed to the element-s; and tletailed laboratory tests," Brewer said.

U.S. PlyH,ood's guarantee covers PF-L siding for the life of the house, continuing in full force throughout that period however long it mav be. The guarantee is Irattsferable when the building is sold.

"There is no pro-rating involved in this guarantee-in sharp contrast to the socalled 'lifetime' guarantees ofiered by other manufacturers," said Brewer.

NO.CHECK SIDING

(Continued lrom Page 21)

checking is accomplished through a series of knife-thin striations or channels spaced on t/1" centers and running the Iong lvay of the panel. The striations are .080 inch deep, roughly two-thirds the thickness oI the face veneer. This reduction in thick. ness causes the checkine to be confined to the hottoms of the striaiions while the surface remains undisturbed. with no dam,rse to the paint finish.

Repair patches in the face of the panels are much less noticeable than in other olvwood panels" and frequently are ,".n oniy after close examination,

At a distance o{ 15 to 20 feet the NeCheck striations are not visible, and the appearance is that of any sound plywood panel. To provide a variety of architectural effects, surface patterns include plain straited panels as well as Texture l-11 and channel groove, a reverse board.and-batten. Panel sizes are 4' x 8', 9/, and 10,.

Another Pope & Talbot specialty plywood is Rufi-Cut, a saw-textured panel, in the same surface patterns and panel sizes.

Pope & Talbot's plywood department is represented in California by Rolf Stolesen of Palo AIto. Stolesen is well knolvn in California plywood and construction circles, having merchandised plywood proclucts irr this area since his discharse from the U.S.

Marine Corps in 1946. Until sprirrg of this year he had been sales manager of Durable Plywood Company.

Other products of Pope & Talbot include dry and green lumber manufactured at Port Gamble, Washington, and St. Helens and Oakridge, Oregon. Also manufactured at Oakridge are particleboard and flakeboard. And now in the final shakedown stages is a new $3.5 million hardboard plant which will produce 130 million feet of products a year.

If there is a moral to be drawn from this story it is this: you can always be young in philosophy, and trade the rocking chair for a long forward look-even at the age of I15!

OBITUARIES

Paul Y. "Bud" Allen, lumberman, died July 16, of a heart attack at his home in Eureka, California.

The popular Bud Allen had been in the lumber business for 18 years and at the time of his death was president of the Peavey Lumber Company, which he founded January 10, 1964. Mr. Allen was a B-29 pilot in World War II with extended service in the Pacific Theatre until the end of the war and was separated as a captain in 1946.

Bud entered the lumber business in Arcata, Calif., with the R. H. Emerson Co. as a pond man in 194?. He joined Tacoma Lumber Sales in 1948, and became an original partner of Pacific Fir Sales in 1960, with whom he was associated until he left to form his own company in 1964.

He was eonsidered one of the most respected pilots in the Pacific Northwest. He was a golfer at Baywood of some repute, considered a man with a swing that left much to be desired, but with a handicap, his partners will attest, seldom lost a buck.

Mr. Allen is survived by his widow, Mary, his children, Marilyn 20, a senior at the Univ. of California; Paul III, 18; Margaret, 15, and Celeste, 6.

Lester L. Goodman 65, a dominant figure in San Francisco's foreign trade, died August 3 in Tokyo, Japan, an apparent victim of a heart attack.

Mr. Goodman, chairman of the World Trade Center Authority, flew to Tokyo to be deco,rated for his contribution to trade and cultural relations between the United States and Japan. The high award, the Third Order of Sacred Treasure, bestowed in the name of Emperor Hirohito, was to have been presented at a ceremony the day following his death.

Stricken in his room at the Okura Hotel, Mr. Goodman died ten minutes after summoning a doctor.

He was chairman of Getz Bros. & Co.,

of San Francisco, a major U.S. exportimport firm, with which he had been associated for 43 years.

A native of Phoenix, he joined Getz Bros. in !922 af,ter graduation from Hastings College of the Law. He went to India that year and, until his return in 1939, was busy establishing branches of the firm throughout the Far East.

He became a director of Gelz Bros. in 1939, president in 1958, and board chairman three years ago.

He is survived by his wife, the former Esther Frankel, with whom he lived in a penthouse atop the Mark Hopkins lfotel.

Caspar llexberg, retired San Francisco lumber executive and a leader in Norwegian-American gtoups' died July 26' He was 71.

A native of Sorum, Norway, Mr. Hexberg came to San Francisco in 1906. He was associated with Acme Lumber Company and later with Union Lumber ComPanY, of which he was district sales manager until his retirement in 1962.

King Ilaakon II of Norway awarded him the St. Olaj's Medal for his work on behalf of Norwegian societies in the Bay Area.

Mr, Heiberg was a past president of the Paciflc Coast Norwegian Singing Society and a member of the Norwegian Club, Henrik Ibsen Lodge 7 of the Sons of Norway and Balder Lodge 393, Free and Accepted Order of Masons.

Mr. Hexberg is survived by his widow, Anna; a son, Russell; a daughter, Mrs. Agnes Labadie, also of San Francisco; four grandchildreir and three great-grandchildren.

Col. Francis Eugene Boyd, 75, a life-long lumberman, died July 27 in a Santa Barbara convalescent hospital.

He was born Dec. 22, 1889, in Butler, Mo., where his father had established the Boyd Lumber Co., a business he owned and operated until he sold it when he moved with his family in 1898 to Hemet, Calif. Later the family lived briefly in Redlands, before

moving to Monrovia where a brother operated the Boyd Lumber Co.

IIe went to Santa Barbara in 1913 to join his brothers, Scott and Clyde in the Boyd Lumber and Mill Co. To gain more experience, he moved to Gustine in 1914 and set up the Builders Lumber Co. and acted as manager of the firm.

Enlisting in the Army in 1917, he was sent to France to establish and operate sawmill and logging operations for the Army.

Later he purchased the former Union Mill and Lumber Co. at 520 E. Montecito St,, and became its president and manager.
