That means employm.:, ;.

*r.", army of men for generations; employment in the woods, in the mills, in transportation, in distribution, in retailing, in refinement, in ,construction. Almost every foot of that timber will go into taxable things. Man and his civilization will support itself for generations to come with the taxes on those buildings and other things into which that timber will be constructed. Nothing temporary, nothing intangible, nothing vague about the wealth and the good this great forest means to California. It is genuine in character, tremendous in volume, and almost eternal in its scope.

Great building days "r. ".-r"* to California. Building permits will in the next ten years far surpass the figures of 1923 and 1924. Lumber and other building materials will be consumed in greater volume than any time in the past. The same steady trend of civilization, seeking a brighter, happier, better place to live than that which it has known, is on its way. It will build its homes and its towns and its cities from San Diego to Shasta. And the lumber industry will play its part and the forests render their mighty contribution.in this building drama. It behooves us to understand this, and make ready.
