Joish to Sidings

WEYERHATUSER

Assure Sqtisfodion

Every lumber dealer knows that one of his best single business assets is his "stock" of satisfied customers. Satisfied customers represent more than repeat orders. They also serve as good salesmen. Their recommendations provide one of a dealer's strongest selling forces . at no extra selling cost.

The sure way to deliver satisfaction is to sell top quality lumber products-and a dependable source of quality lumber is Weyerhaeuser. Shown here are just a few of the wide variety of Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Lumber Products for home, farm, and commercial construction. 3557

o 4-Squore Kiln-Dried Dimension: Studding and Joists-scientifically seasoned to provide uniform dimensional stability.

o 4-Squore Kiln-Dried Sidings: available in many patterns of durable Western species. These sidings give both beauty and lifetime economy.

o 4-Squore Kiln-Dried Moldings: precision manufactured in a choice of patterns to meet many design preferences.

Dealers featuring Weyerhaeuser 4-Square Lumber and Building Products are continuously increasing their "stock" of satisfied customersand thus improving their profit and sales position.

HOw. LUMBER LOOKS

Although Crow's Lumber Price Index dropped again in the period ending September 6, signs of stability have finally appeared in No. 3 and No. 4 common lZ-inch ponderosa pine boards, which slowed the decline in the pine segment. No other phase of the lumber market showed evidence yet of a firmer trend but utility green and dry Douglas fir dimension was holding its own. Standard & Btr. green fir dimension lost a little more ground and there were a few price cuts in the same grade combination of k.-d. dimension. Industrial specialties and cutting were weak but bundled upper grades unchanged The higher freight rates which went into effect Aug. 26 brought a last-minute flurry of shipments but had little impact on the general price level. A fairly heavy volume of transit cars purchased and shipped on the old rate were still being ofiered eastern buyers. Settlement of the building-trades strike in Southern California helped producers in southern Oregon and Northern California to some extent Log market prices remained steady in western Oregon in the two-week period ending Sept. 9 as the area entered its fifth week without rain and forest-fire danger ran high.

Lumber shipments of 462 mills reporting to the National Lumber Manufacturers Assn. in the week ending Aug. 3l were 9.4/o above production; new orders 1.3/o below. Shipments were 9.8/o and new orders 8.5/o above the previous week and, for the year-to-date, shipments were 0.9/o and ord,ers 0.7/o above production Ordeis of 159 mills reporting (135 operating) to the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn. in the week ending Aug. 3l were 9.0/o under production of 106,486,882 feet, but shipments of 114,796,W7 feet were 7.8/o above. The weekly average of Douglas fir region sawmill production in August was 160,034,000 board feet, reported WCLA Secretary H.arris E. Smith; orders averaged 146,270.000 b.f. and shipments 163,008,000 b.f. The industry's unfilled order file stood at 545,873,000 b.f. at the end of August Shipments of 70,483,000 leet were 7.7/o above production at 96 mills reporting to the Western Pine Association in the week ending Aug.3l; orders of 65,@4,000 feet were 0.2/o above production of 65,453,000 feet.

fllochine Accounting Reduces Deoler's Overheod

By Clarence A. Thompson, Chairman, Lumber Dealers Research Council

During the last 14 months our yards at Champaign and Decatur, Illinois, have brought automation to part of our office procedures. We made this step by replacing the con- ', ventional post-binder ledger and journal records comprising ' the general accounting records with modern records maintained on IBM punch-card equipment. We now forward all ' original accounting data to Mid-States Business Service, ' who have made a specialty of punch-card accounting. When ' we began utilizing the Mid-States Service, accounting jourr nals were printed and a trial balance prepared from which monthlv statements were tvoed. However. we now have compleie financial statementsincluding budget comparisons prepared automatically at high speed by machine.

The accounting data we furnish to Mid-States comes from three basic sources:

/

mailed to vendors at the end of the month. This accounts payable entry is then reversed at the end of the subsequent month. Handling accounts.payable in this manner eliminates the necessity of maintaining detailed accounts-payable ledgers rvhile at the same time retaining, through the filing of a copy of the voucher by vendor, a complete record of all purchases for inventory and expense

The voucher-check copies, daily check-out sheets and the journal-register sheets are forwarded to Mid-States twice monthly. Since all reports are prepared completely by machine we have had complete financial statements returned to us two days from the time the final information was mailed to Mid-States. In addition, we receive machine listing which show in detail the entries affecting each account. The detail listings show date of the transaction, check number, payee or other description, account number and amount. We file the monthly journals by account number and consequently have an up to date analysis of each account at all times.

'

1. A voucher check which combines both check and remittance advice.

2. A daily check-out sheet which covers sales, accounts receivable transactions and cash paid-outs.

3. A journal register on which journal entries are listed for each month.

. The voucher check, a triplicate form, is prepared at the time the invoice is received and the section showing account distribution completed. These unsigned checks, which serve as the account payable records, are filed by discount date. At the time the check is mailed, the second copy is filed by vendor and the third copy held for Mid-States.

, A daily check-out sheet varies with the type of yard operation depending upon type of sales breakdown required, number of selling points, etc. ,It contains sales totals, accounts receivable charges and collections, bank deposits, and cash paid-outs. In our application we merely list the various daily totals showing account numbers affected.

Journal entries are entered on the journal register at the end of each month. Depreciation expense, insurance writeoffs and tax accruals, together with accounts-payable accruals, comprise the greater part of these entries. These adjustments change the accounts from cash to accrual ba3is. The accounts-payable entry is computed by running adding machine tapes of the voucher checks, which had not been

We have eliminated the possibility of error in mechanical entry to journals since the initial recording of the transaction in the IBM card is verified. In order to insure overall accuracy Mid-States requires that we forward each month reconciled bank balances and totals of accounts receivable which are checked with journal listings.

Elimination of hand-written records and the resultfurg reduction in personnel expense is the tangible advantage of this system. Although it is.still possible to find a person capable of serving asi a general ledger bookkeeper, the market for this type of employee is rapidly diminishing. However, having finished financial statements within the first ten days of the month enables us to use the reports as a management tool rather than a historical record. This is invaluable.

This system, which we developed with Mid-States, is an excellent service which can be used successfully by any yard in the Mid-West area. Actually, it can be used by a yard in any part of the country, but far-distant points would receive reports a day or two later because of mail service. We endorse it not only for its technical accounting advantages but, more important, because we save money by reduction of overhead. To take advantage of this, write directly to Mid-States Business Service, Box 162, Danville, Illinois, attention : Robert Cartee, President.

We read and hear often about "youthful prodigies." And then, as a rule, you hear and read no more about them, Great thinkers are not always early prodigies. For instance: Charles Darwin could never learn a language; Napoleon was No. 42 in his cliass, but you never hear of the 41 who were ahead of him; Sir Issac Newton failed in geometry; George Eliot learned to read with difficulty; James Russell Lowell was kicked out of Harvard as a poor student; Oliver Goldsmith was at the bottom of his school class; Emerson was a dunce in math, and many others who became great started slowly.

There is more real wretchedness, more torment driving men to folly, due to boredom than to anything else. Men and women will do almost anything, fling themselves into lost hopes and crazy ventures, to escape it. They will drink, drug themselves, prostitute their bodies, and sell their souls; they will take up mad causes, organize absurd crusades, they will torment themselves and torture other people to escape the misery of being bored. Anyone who can discover a cure for boredom would put an end to more misery than all doctors put together.

sales annually, and from all indications this will be doubled during the next couple of years under the capable management of Stuart Butt and Norman Eddy.

Another unique feature of this lumberyard is the fbct that Butt Lumber stocks everything for the outdoor man. Frank Horton, counter salesman, can furnish everything and anything for the sportsman. Here one can obtain hunting and fishing gear, including the license, from Frank. A complete stock of all such supplies is maintained throughout the year.

From a modest start of three employes in Azusa, this progressive retail lumber yard has grown by leaps and bounds. Today it requires the services of more than 20 salespeople and yard personnel to handle the volume of business. On weekends the extra sales, yard and office personnel are employed to adequately service the drop-in trade. The gross

ttBetter Home Advisorstt

sales of about $21 million annually have been enjoyed for several years and, as the eastern ,section of Los Angeles grows, so will the Butt Lumber company because the whole organization is wide-awake and ready for every opportunity.

"No-there is absolutely nothing mysterious about our business. We just work hard and try to take advantage of every opportunity. But most of all, we like to furnish the very best of service that can be obtained anywhere, and I think we are doing just that," said Stuart H. ilutt, headman of this one of the most progressive lumber firms in the west, which was called to the attention of The CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT by George Clough of Tacoma Lumber Sales, who made the arrangements for this coverage.

lAoking Profits on Home-lmprovement Soles

A simplified system for estimating home improvements is part of a ,complete new sales promotion and advertising service which will soon be available to retail lumber dealers. Developed by Russell W. Nowels in his four Michigan yards, tlre program will be known as "Better Home Advisors,"

"This low-cost system inoludes all the estimating, advertising and salei promotion materials necessa;y to make profits on hom€ modernization and remodeling sales. Itwill be offered on an exclusive basis of one dealer to a cit5" Nowels stated.

Each month, subscribers will receive scaled drawings, materials lists and simplified estimating procedures for one major and several minor home-improvement packages. Subscribers will also receive weekly newspaper ads, radio scripts and publicity stories which promote these home improvement packages. All packages are timed for promotion just in advance of their natural selling seasons, and are tied with the NRLDA Merchandising Calendar, which Nowels developed some years ago.

The program also includes prospect cards, sales form, and selling techniques on following prospects to make home-improvement sales at a reasonable cost. Suggestions on direct mail advertising and monthly merchandising tips will also be a regular part of the service. The "Better Home Advisors" seal will be integrated into the advertising sales form to identify the local lumber merchant as headquarters

for reliable planning, financing, and building information on home modernization.

"The new estimating system enables anyone-even truck drivers-to quote an accurate price on more than 30 home improvements in a minute or less. It enables a dealer to qualify his prospect's interest and his ability to pay without spending hours of selling time and without making costly drawings and material lists," Nowels continued.

Designed for the busy lumber dealer, the system can be put to work in any yard in a few minutes' time. The dealer merely adapts the working drawings ,to local building practices, prices and extends the material lists, inserts the monthly terms for the home improvement packages in his newspaper ads and radio scripts, and reviews the estimating system with his men.

Over a year's time, dealers will receive drawings, materials lists, and simplified estimating system for over 30 end-use packages, including attic and basement rooms, breezways, garage conversions, garages, carports, porches, dormers, fences, additions, porch enclosures and kitchens. Minor home-improvement packages include new floors and ceilings, interior wall finishes (sheet-rock, plywood, knotty pine, hardwood plywood), insulation, screened porch, garden tool house, re-roofing, re-siding, interior and exterior painting, closets and several built-ins.

to Precut Goroges Todoy

Some 25 years ago-on August l,1932-to be exact, Willow Glen Lumber Co. was founded by Arthur S. McKinney with $78O in the then incorporated iown of Willow Gleir (since 1937 a part of San Jose). However, McKinney was a name well known in lumber even then, his experience dating back to I9l2 when he began a career of lumber with T. M. Hooks Lumber Co. at Lufkin, Texas.

\{cKinney came to California in 1919 to. enter the employ of The Chas. Nelson Co. in its Tilden Lumber Division. He subsequently joined Redwood Manufacturers Co. in Pittsburg and, later, Monterey Bay Redwood Co. in Santa Cruz.

He left Monterey Bay Redwood in'1932 to start Willow Glen Lumber.

By 1936, Willow Glen Lumber had shown substantial progress, so a planing mill and special door department were added to the operation. This was before the country yards had lift trucks, so note the "pile bottoms" in one of these pictures. Also, by 1936, the yald was stocking a complete line of lumber, building materials, millwork, sash and doors, plywood, cement, hardware and hardwood lumber for planing mill products.

During 1944, Arthur McKinney expanded his lumber holdings by entering into a partnership with Stephen A. McKinney to found McKinney Hardwood Lumbei Co. at Los Angeles, a wholesale hardwood and white pine plant with kilns and planingmill. In 1947,he added a 50M pei day 91,wm!11 (McKinney-Longview Lumber Co.) at Longview, Washington, to his operations. This plant manufaitured Pacific Coast hardwoods and Douglas fir lumber which was then shipped to his Los Angeles operation for drying and milling.

In 1948, McKinney sold Willow Glen Lumber to a group of San Jose businessmen, headed by Ray Sandkuhle, who prior to-buying the McKinney yard ivere bwners of Victory Lumber Co. in San Jose. Willow Glen's principals, who are now inactive in the actual management of the yard, include S. M. Sanfilippo, president; Ray Sandkuhle, vice-president; Tim O'Connor, secretary; Mrs. Ruth Kirby, director, and Sam Della Maggoire, treasurer, and a member of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.

The yard's management is now under the direction of William Mitchell, general manager; Walter Anderson, salesmanager and purchasing agent, and O. J. Teaford, office and credit manager.

In addition to the usual items more commonlv found in lumberyards, Willow Glen Lumber, under Milchell and Sandkuhle, has expanded the do-it-yourself part of its operation tg include such lines as precut garages, patio furniture, fencing, and hardware, paints and lardwood lumber for the shoulder trade.

BAXCO pressure treated, FOUNDATION LUMBER

*\ft"t else, Paul? For the past 25 years

BAXCO pressure treated Foundation Lumber has been safeguarding thousands of lfestern homes against termites and wood-rot. Pressure treatment locks in the chemical protection for keeps. And when you figure, Paul, that just

one repair bill, caused by rot or termites, can run into hundreds of dollars-well, why take z chance? Especially since BAXCO Pressure Treated Foundation Lumber adds so little to the total building cost-just a few dollars.

Lumber Associqtion fflqkes 'Retirement Plqn' Avoiloble

The Southern California Retail Lumber Association is now ready, after months of painstaking research and several membership meetings, to make a Retirement Plan available to cover those industry employes who are not covered by a negotiated union pension plan. The new plan will be known as "Lumber Association Retirement Fund" and a committee composed of a cross section of active and associate members who are among the early enrollees will constitute the governing body. The plan will be available to all regular full-time employes working in the lumber and allied products industry in Southern California excepting sole proprietors, partners and those employes for

whom a retirement plan has already been established by collective bargaining union agreement.

To become eligible for enrollment in the SCRLA plan, the employee must have attained the age of 2I and must have completed one full year of continuous service with the employer. This plan must be made available to all full-time employes on payroll who are otherwise eligible. There is to be no maximum age limit on the initial enrollment but, thereafter, those who have attained the age of 56 will no longer be eligible to participate. The employer is to pay the full cost of the plan or 917.30 per month per employee enrolled.

' The plan will provide, unless changed by majority action of the original contributing employers now being enrolled, or by requirement of the U. S. Treasury Department for tax purposes, that any employee who leaves the employment of a con(Continued on Page 57)

Hollmqrk Lumber & Plywood Co. Finds Footboll Csrnivol Unique Woy to Entertoin Customers ond Friends

It was a gala evening, August 16, when 40 guests of Hallmark Lumber and Plywood Company, Van Nuys, California, were entertained by John and Mary Frederick, executives of the wholesale lumher distributing concern. The mixed group convened at the Pump Room on Ventura boulevaid, in Studio City, at 5:00 p.m. for cocktails and dinner. A special Tanner bus had been chartered for a 7:15 departure fbr the Coliseum, where everybody in the party had a ticket on the So-yard line in Row 54 for the Rams vs. Washington Redskins charity football game sponsored by The Loi Angeles Times. Following the exciting game the happy group returned to the Pump Room for late supper and i complete program of late entertainment.

Hallmark quality service was exemplified throughout the evening, with "do-it-yourself" kits of refreshments con-

stantly in use during travel to and from the game. This splendid event was a three-way coverage: the guests were highly entertained, the Times Charities enjoyed the revenue, and the Pump Room management furnished Bob Kelley, popular sports announcer, along with the steaks and lobster.

In addition to the hosts, John and Mary Frederick, the guest list included the following couples: Mr. and Mis. Mervin Frederick, Ralph Butler, James Bell, Jeff Nibley, Manny Novack, Glen Kronquist, Paul Cornuke, Ole May, John Wickman, Roy Spencer, Jay Galloway, Joe Meneci, Ed Dursteler, Earl Bell, Joe Barlow, Ed Jonas, Fred Burgess, and two stags, Robert Frederick and Roy Hearold.

Brooklyn Style

Many years ago a great crowd of people were gathered at Mitchell Field, New York, awaiting the arrival of a famous plane and its still more famous pilot.

Suddenly the shining "Spirit of St. Louis" appeared and began sailing in circles over the field.

"Look!" cried a man from Brooklyn, in huge excitement, "it's Linboig !"

A man standing next to him said: "You mean it's Lindbergh."

The first speaker took another look at the plane. He said: "Well, you may be right-but it's Linboig's plane."

The beauty of Forest Sandalwood is the way it stacks up to easier, faster sales. It will pay you to point out its obvious advantages to your customers. For instance: Sandalwood combines a smooth, hard pre-finish in beautiful platinum color with the durability and water resistance of temper-treated hardboard. The color is permanent baked in! Pre-finished at half the pre-finished cost. Highly wear and scratch resistant. In plank, punched or plain patterns.

Forest Sandalwood is resistant to oil, grease and weather, yet is priced competitive to ordinary hardboard. Your custoiners can use "as-is" or where paint is required, one coat covers with real depth of color. As a dealer for Sandalwood you get full mark-up on every sale.

The Volue of Good-Will

Who can possibly over-estimate the value of GOOD WILL?

And who is there to whom good will is worth more than to the lumber merchant?

It is the firm and certain rock on which can be built a business structure of which it might truthfully be said in quotation: "And the gates of &rell shall not prevail against it."

Consider it. If a retail lumberman has so deported himself and so impressed himself upon his townspeople that they love him as a neighbor, respect him as a citizen, appreciate him as a skillful mercJrant of building things; if they are impressed with his business wisdom, and believe firmly in his integrity; if he is the fellow they instinctively think of when they think of building, then who on earth could get this man's business away from him?

No one, of course. Then, undoubtedly, the building of good will should be a major part of the business of the

Greenchain operation was the main topic of discussion at the 37th meeting of the Redwood Sawmill Committee, August 24, at the Hammond-California Redwood Company plant in Samoa, California, which was host to the members. A. F. Peterson served as chairman.

Douglas rAr. Clayton of the Western Timber Company, Eureka, presented a report of a study made at one operation io determine the feasibility of performing the greenchain operation in two stages. Dean Braman of Diebold Mills, Inc., Smith River, stated that their operation used a'system very similar to that described by Mr. Clayton. Lester CoL of the Arcata Redwood Company, Arcata, described the limitations of that operation where 85 thousand board feet of lumber per shift muit be pulled on a greenchain less than 100 feet in length. J. E. Smigle of the llammond-California Redwood Company discussed the method of operation on the greenchain at the Samoa plant. The experience-of the Union Lumber Company in changing from a carriage offset-to the use of sliver tooih siws was"rep-orted by Alex l(ice of the company, Fort Bragg.

"Our policy of selling to the retail dealer only comes from our conviction that he, and he alone, strould be the logical middleman between the distributor and the ultimate consumer," remarked Duncan Pell, newly ap- pointed general manager ofthe Davis Hardwood division.

In line u.ith the neu' policy, l)avis Hardn'ood ComDanv recerrtly joined the Lumlrer Merchuuts .\ssrr. ,,i N,rrt'hern California as an associate member anrl adderl three men to the sales force for the purpose of ltetter serving the Northern California trade.

In addition to these dealer-picked topics for forum presentation, the SCRLA members will, as usual, probably have many ideas and questions from the audience to make the Santa- Barbara Conference as lively and stimulating as the previous seven Conferences have always been.

The facilities of the Santa Barbara Biltmore are said to be ideal for the meeting place, with the hotel a garden spot including a grand swimming pool and superb dining places. The hotel is also near the oceanfront.

Several social activities are planned for the dealers and their wives and also for the ladies alone while the men are in meeting. The fine Santa Barbara shops and eating places will be available in the nearbv citv, rvhich also has its art galleries, historic places, the cild Lbbero and other theatres where the newest Hollywood films are frequently sneakpreviewed, the famous old Mission, and nearby Ojai Valley and coastal towns.

Still making his Conference plans at mid-month presstime, Executive Vice-President Hamilton was also trying to include a group trip to the picturesque nearby community of Solvang in the busy Conference schedule. It is expeited that the-business sessions and group dinners will be held Wednesday and Thursday and those evenings, with the Friday session held for golfing and.special activities'

' Reosons Reveoled for Phenomenql Aportment-Building Boom Now Burgeoning in Southern Colifornio

New evidence of a record-breaking boom in apartment building in the Los Angeles area was reported by The Los Angeles Examiner from the August summary of the Research department, Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles. During the past two years, while tract building in the area was cut in half, says the Summary, building oT apartments and other multiple-family structures has climbed to an all-time high.

Although the shift was evident in 1956, the real upsurge came this year, it said, During 1957's first seven months, permits were issued in the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area (L. A. and Orange counties) Ior23,89l dwelling units in apartment or other multiple-structures. tUnits in multiples, the Suinmary points out, rose from 22.3o/o the first quarter of 1956 io a3o/o the first quarter of. 1957, to 46.9o/s the second quarter of 1957, and to 5+.2% this July.

An analysis shows apartment-building is on a general increase all throughout the region, with the San Fernando lalle;r accounting for about one-third of the L. A. city total, the Hollywood area one-fourth, and the Wilshire area onetenth.

Le,ading cities with dwelling units in multiple structures the first seven months of this year include Los Angeles. 10,573; Long Beach, 1327; Santa Monica, 1044; Anaiieim, 7.Q!; lnglewood, 555; Glendale, 496; Gardena,494; Downey, 410; Santa Ana, 393, and Hawthorne, 323.

The "typical" apartment currently in construction is described as a 2-story, walk-up, frame and stucco structure of ten to 16 units, conventionally financed-most probably by an insurance company.

Among the reasons given for the apartment boom were:

High population gains; down and monthly payments retarding homebuilding; some lenders and builders switching from tracts to apartments as more feasible; apartments can be built in areas rvhere land costs bar single dwellings; time and traffic problems causing some commulers to move closer to their work; and various conditions which have discouraged building for about 27 years, creating a deficiency. It was also noted that apartment-building and selling offers tax advantages as a capital gain.

The first known shipment of "packaged lumber" into the Southern California area was unloaded by representatives of Weyerhaeuser Sales Company on a company siding at the l-os Angeles yard the morning of August 16. The car Weyerhaeuser unloaded contained 36,558 feet of lxl2 Engelmann spruce and it was completely unloaded and set side, units intact, in just 53 minutes. The entire operation was done with an S-ton fork-lift truck from the ground, with a driver who had never before unloaded one of these cars working from both sides of the double-door boxcar.

"After this first experience," said Weyerhaeuser's F. W. Click, "we feel we can unload subsequent cars in 45 minutes with one man on the lift and one man in the car. We Orrie Hcmilton of the

Bob Hogan, chairman of the meeting, announces, "The W.I.C. is inaugurating a revolutiondry idea with its forthcoming Northirn Membership meeting. The affair vill begin with a social hour and luncheon in the Golden Empire room, after which President James Pierce will report io thp membership on the activities of the W.I.C. during the past six months." The topic of "Establishment of a Pro.iedure for the Proper Evaluation of Architectural Mill.work" will be discussed by John Lyon Reid, F.A.I'A., past president of the California Council of Architects. Mr. Reid is very active in architectural relations with the industry and as a consequence is well-versed in this topic.

Hogan said the other speaker will_be Warren C. Smith, produition manager of Plywood and Novoply at the Shasta

Division of U. S. Plywood at Anderson, California. Smith's topic will be "Potential Applications for Plywood and Particle Board in Architectural Millwork." He has a wide background in this field and is certainly well-versed and qualified to discuss the future applications of particle board and plywood.

Following the luncheon speakers there will be a brief adjournment, then the membership of the W.I.C. will reconvene in the Room of the Dons at the Mark Hopkins hotel. The architectural profession has been invited to attend a seminar for the purpose of setting forth recomrnendations and methods for inspecting all the items of architectural woodwork. The seminar will consist of displays of the various grades of millwork, as opposed to the various grades of lumber, the various grades of cabinet work, hollow core and solid core doors, a display of cabinet joinery and a display of the various defects that exist in wood.

The seminar will be conducted by Les Harter, technical consultant of W.LC., and each of the displays will be manned by one of the original authors of the Manual of Millwork, where he will explain his particular display and be available to answer any questions the architectural profession may have.

Hogan concluded, "This seminar will provide an outstanding opportunity for the mill men and the architectural profession to get together and discuss their mutual problems on a social basis."

Following the seminar, a cocktail party will be held from five to six p.m. Reservations for the general membership meeting may be made by writing to the Woodwork Institute of California, 1833 Broadway, Fresno.

United Stqtes Hits 'fttogic Moment'- 5O,OOO,OOO Households Now

For the first time in its history, the United States has reached the magic total of 50 million 1-rouseholds.

'I'his event r,vas symbolized Septemlter 5 when the Housing Administrator of the U. S. Government, Albert M. Cole, designated a nenlyrn'ed couple and their netr' home in Vienna, Virginia, as representing the household that turned occupied homes in the country to the 50 million figure.

The Bureau of the Census estimates that the total number of households-and occupied dwelling unitsreached the 50 million mark for the first time somervhere in the country, sometime during the month of August. Since no one can say exactly where or in rvhat home this turning-point household was set up, Housing Adminis-

trator Cole selected Mr. and Mrs. Edrvin Il. l,awless III, of Vienna, Virginia, as typical of the many thouands of nerv households that rvere established during that period.

Like thousands of other young Arnericans, they financed their $14,750, three-bedroom home r'r'ith an FHA-insured home loan. "The honse rvas not fuily furnished ll'hen u'e moved in," said Larvless. "\\'re had just enough dishes to get breakfast."

The one-storv, frame structure, 'ivith red brick veneer under the u''indou.s, is in a development known as East Vienna Woods; the Larvless home is near the edge of a stand of trees. Scoutmaster of Troop 865, Mclean, Virginia, Lawless said the rn'oods on trvo sides rvill be "great for the bovs" rvhen they come out for a visit. Mr. La'rvless is on the engineering staff of the Potomac Electric Porver Company and earned his civil engineering degree at Virginia N{ilitary Institute in 1955. Son of a homebuilder, he decided rvhile in college that t'hen he married he rvould live in his own home.

In presenting the young couple rvith a certificate designating tl.rem as "symbolizing this milestone in our growth and progress as a nation of homeorvners," Mr. ('ole said:

"As Housing Administrator, f congratulate not only you, but also tl-re hundreds of thousands of young families you represent today, rvho, through opportunity and enterprise, are establishing good homes in good communities in u,hich to build their own and this country's futttre.

"Home is not only the place you hang your hat, as we sometimes say-it is the place where America hangs its hopes for a continued free way of life in a free country and a free world. We have opened the doorway to good housing to the great majority of our people, and we must not rest until we have made this a universal opportunity for all Americans."

Census figures shorv that the estirnated 50,000,000 households reached in August of this year is quadruple the nnmber in 1890, ts'ice the number in 1920, ancl 6f million more than in 1950. a I5o/o increase.

Whot Every Deoler Should Know To Be Told ond Shown in liony Clinics qt NRLDA Erposition

Programs of the 1957 Building Products Exposition in Philadelphia, November 4-7, will provide retail lumber dealers "a full measure of valuable information about build!1g material retailing and operating costs," according to H. R. Northup, executive vice-president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. He disclosed that complete program details are now being rounded out by the chairmen and their hard-working committees who have been holding meetings tlrough the summer to whip into shape the very comprehensive program planned foi this year's show.

"Clinic topics have been selected with the needs of the small-to-average dealer in mind," Mr. Northup says, "and panels will consist largely of dealers who have been highly successful in meeting the problems to be covered in the discussions."

Each day except Monday (when registration will be in progress) two "top-management" Breakfast Clinics are scheduled for two hours before the opening of the product exhibits and the start of the action clinics at Convention Hall. The breakfast sessions will be held simultaneously at 7:45 a.m.-one at the Warwick hotel, the other at the Sheraton hotel-and the dealer may select the one he prefers to attend, according to the subjects of greatest intelest to him. Topics for discussion at Breakfast Clinics are:

Tuesday Morning:

"Getting More Farm Business" sponsored by Building Supply News, with Maurice R. Large of Farmville, Va., ai dealer-chairman. "Profit Planning for Large Yards," under the sponsorship of American Lumberman, will have George Withy, St. Paul, Minn. lumber dealer as co-chairman.

Wednesday Morning:

"Profit Planning for Small Yards" sponsored by Building Supply News, with an all-dealer panel participating. An-other Wednesday morning all-dealer panel will discuss "Developing Housing Sites and Improving Contractor Relations."

Thursday Morning:

"Salesmen's Compensation and Incentives" and "Estimating the New Way-Simple and Easy" will share the spotlight Thursday morning, with Russell W. Nowels as chairman of the latter.

Luncheon Clinics at Convention Hall are scheduled each day except Thursday, at which time a special program is planned. Luncheon Clinic titles include:

Monday: "Cash-and-Carry vs. Conventional Lumber Yards," with Warren E. Carter, Akron, owner of Cash-Way Lumber Company of Ohio, as chairman. Tuesday: "Remodeling Profit-rama," sponsored by American Lumberman with C. Albert Stephan, Philadelphia, as dealer-chairman. Wednesday: Two simultaneous luncheon clinics will be "Making Kitchen Modernization Pay" and "fncrease Profit Through Personnel Training," with Arthur Clifford, of Bridgeport, Conn., moderating the latter.

New Film on Wood Schools

A strong case for schools of wood is made in a new film just released by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, according to Mortimer B. Doyle, NLMA executive vice-president. Entitled "The Massapequa Story: Two Schools for the Price of One," the new film contains a kinescope film recording of a recent NBC telecast which covered many on-the-spot scenes of wood schools in Long Island.

"This film is the sort of device lumbermen have needed to get our story across," Doyle said. Prints of "The Massapequa Story," in black-and-white and with a running time ofl2l minutes, are avaliable at $50 each from NLMA headquarters, 1319 l8th St., N.W. Washington 6, D.C. A limited number of loan prints has been set aside for preview purposes, but the demand for these prints created a substantial waiting list even prior to the film's release date, Doyle said. Purchase prints are available for immediate delivery.

Mosonite Plqns for Home-Office

Distinctive appearance, an atmosphere of privacy, and convsnlslss-all can be achieved in an office for the salesman. contractor, or businessman who conducts his business from his home. Although a room with a separate outside entrance is most suitable, almost any room in the home can be transformed easily and economically into such an offrce by decorating it with Masonite hardboard panels. Even a person-unskilled #ith carpentry tools can construct a modern of;fice in a few hours of spare time. The only tools needed are a saw, hammer, and screwGrlver.

. A free, detailed -plan prepared by N{asonite Corporation shows how a home office can be paneled with smooth, peiforated and textured hardboards. The plan is adaptable to any size room. IJse of textured panels such as Masonite Seadrift, Leatherwood, and Ridgeline helps give the office its distinctive appearance. One type can be used as a wainscot, while another is

installed on the upper sections of the walls.

The plan also suggests installing Masonite "Peg-Board" panels on one wall. From them can be hung book shelves, small cabinets. brochure holders, and other sales aids.

Except for chairs, all the furniture in the room also can be made by the home craftsman. Easy to work N{asonite Presdwood and Panelply can be used over lumber framing. Building the furniture himself can save the businessman hundreds of dollars in furnishing costs.

Girculotion

The dollar you paid on your last month's bill Was only a dollar to you.

The day it was paid it was laid in our till, But its work was far from through.

We'paid it out to a truckman stout, Who gave it in trade for meat, And the butcher man then quickly ran And bought him a necktie neat.

The clothier then possessed your yen, But wanted a hair-brush more, And the brush-store spent, yes, every cent, On a sign for the big front door. Tte painter then took your dollar, and lookHe paid it in on his dwelling, And the landlord keen bought gasoline, To keep his motor smelling. The merchant of oil then banked h.is spoil And smiled quite merrily, Then your boss sent across (though he thought it a loss) And drew your salary.

So the little old dollar went its rounds, Without any flurry or fuss, And brought to you your due so you Could bring us what's due to us.

A Speciolry

He was showing a friend around his new and ultra-modern home. Said the friend:

"Why thc round hole in the front door?"

"Glad you asked me," said the proud homeowner. "That is for circular letters."

Unseen Worlds

.It is related by a peasant that he had persuaded himself that beyond his fields there were no others, and when he happened to lose a cow and was compelled to go search for her, he was astonished at the great number of fields beyond his own few acres. This must also be the case of many theorists who have persuaded themselves that beyond this field or little globe of earth there lie no other worldssimply because he has not see them.-Spinoza.

Musicol Soldiers

The top sirgeant sang out just before the company was dismissed:

"A11 those who are fond of music, step tn'o paces forward."

With visions of some soft job or entertainment, half-adozen men stepped forth.

The sergeant growled: "Now then, you six mugs get busy and carry that grand piano up to'the top f,oor of the oFcers' quarters !"

Good Tolk

Good talk has always flourished in taverns, but dies in the hotel de luxe. It springs up naturally around camp fires. It results from conditions which strip ofr social veneer, and bring ileople toget&rer on a plane of elementary humanity.

-M. B. Greenbir

ForSofefy, Thst's Why

"But, Judge, I was not drunk."

"Then explain why this officer found you climbing a lamp post."

"Because, Judge, a couple of crocodiles were chasing me, and I thought I'd just climb titre post and escape them."

Whor Mokes War?

Whoever examines, with due circumspection, into th€ annual records of time, will find it remarked that war is the child of pride, and pride the daughter of riches-the former of which assertions may be soon granted, but one cannot so easily subsc'ribe to the latter; for pride is nearly related to beggary and want, either by father or mother, and sometimes by both.; and to speak naturally, it very seldom happens among men to fall out when all have enough; invasions usually traveling from North to South, that is to say, from poverty to plenty. The most ancient and natural grounds of quarrels are lust and avarice; which, though we may allow to be brethren, or collaterd branches of pride, are certainly the issues of want-Jonathan Swift.

No Pleqsure

The tiresome young lawyer was wearing out both the judge and the jury with his tedious harangue. Finally he paused and seid to the judge:

"Your Honor, is it your pleasure ttrat I proceed with my arguments?"

Said the judge: "Young man, the pleasure of listening to you ended an hour ago; but you may proceed."

Brief word has been received of the death of Judd Greenman (left) in Portland, Oregon, where funeral services were held August 30. His sudden death, which follows Mr. Greenman's recent retirement from the industry. is reported to have occurred -August 27. Mr. Greenman, who was a native of Kansas City, Kansas, where his mother was the public librarian for many years, had made his home for many years in Portland.

Judd Greenman was one of the wisest and most respected men the lumber industry has ever produced. He leaves his wife, the former Lillian Hale of Kansas City.

In Memoriom

Mrs. Helen L. Benson, 34, a bride of less than a year, was killed instantly in a 5-car collision over Labor day in which her husband, Gordon R. Benson, 35, an executive of the White Bros. lumber company in Oakland, also suffered concussion and severe lacerations. The Bensons, who would have celebrated their first wedding anniversary September 21. were enroute to the funeral of his brother Kermit at an Oakland mortuary when the terrific car crash occurred. The car which crossed a dividing strip on the 6lane freeway, sideswiped another car and then crashed head-on.into the Benson car, was driven by an Oakland bartender, highway patrolmen said . William H. Snyder,87, retired lumber executive, died August 17. He had lived in Los Angeles the last 25 years and made his home at 3448 Casitas Ave. He leaves two daughters and three sons . Delbert L. Behm, Monrovia civic leader and businessman for 2l years, died August 22. He was a past president of the Southern California Hardware Assn. Earl C. Spencer, Long Beach, died August20in Buffalo, N. Y., while attending the DAV convention. Long active in veterans' affairs, he was a former employment manager with the Johns-Manville Corp. in Wilmington, Calif.

lnsulotion Reseqrch Reveols New Oppoilunity for Soles

Dealers have a new opportunity to increase their sales volume by educating builders of air-conditioned homes on the value'of more than the minimum amount of insulation. A research study on eight houses thickly insulated with mineral wool at the Air-Conditioned Village in Austin, Texas, showed that dealers can sell zrn average of $171.55 worth of insulation over and above FHA minimum property requirements per 1,250-square-foot house and save the builder money on his overall construction costs. The additional insulation reduced summer heat gain, permitting the use of smaller, less expensive air conditioners.

A comparison of the heat gains in the thickly insulated houses with what the heat gains would have been, had the houses contained the minimum required insulation, indicated that each home would have needed at least one more ton of air conditioning without the additional mineral wool. Sav-ings in cooling equipment averaged $311.15 per house..Srrbtracting the cbst of the added insulation left the builders with a net savings of $139.60 per house.

R.ecord Cut of Notionql Forest Timber

Timber operators in California purchased and cut record-smashing amounts of National Forest timber during 1955. 1,300,000,000 board feet were sold under new contracts and 1,000,000,000 board feet were cut during the year. The volume cut is enough to construct 100,000 average homes-sufficient to house the residents of a new city about the size of Oakland or San Diego. The volume of timber business that year represents a 2O/o increase over 1954. The timber cut was valued at more than $15,000,000, while the value ofthe amount sold amounted to more than $23,000,000.

The National Forests of California can continue to

produce sawlogs at about the current level, under a program of sustained yield management. This means an annual crop harvest of about 1-1/3 billion board feet from the National Forests.

The record cut of timber was produced from 18 national forests, led by the Plumas National Forest with a cut of 178 million board feet. At the other extreme, the Cleveland National Forest in Southern California produced a cut of 16,000 board feet. Cutting in the limited but highly important stands of timber in Southern California is being confined exclusively to removal of insect trees to control epidemic losses in these valuable recreational and watershed forests.

Gombined Wesf €oqst Kiln-Glub Men Meet

The recent meeting of the ofificers of the Combined West Coast Kiln Clubs was called to order by President Larance Wood of the West Coast Dry-Kiln Club inthe Eugene hotel. He said it was the wish of Ed Knight, coordinator from the Western Pine Association, and others at the 1956 Berkeley annual that the host-club president preside at future combined officers' meetings.

Herb Geisenheyner of the Southern California Lumber Seasoning Assn. re-extended the standing invitation to hold the 1958 annual meeting in Southern California but, in considerable discussion prior to voting on the meeting site, it was brought out that most kiln oDerators north of California would not be able to persuade their managements to allow sodistant meeting attendanle. Mr. Geisenheyner alternately suggested the 1959 meeting in the Southland or else that a general poll be taken to see if the kiln men would ever want to meet so far south.

With the 1958 invitation thus regretfully withdrawn, the next year's meeting site was settled for either Spokane or Yakima, hosted by the Washington-Idaho-Montana Kiln Club.

Rock,Sond Employers Win Pension-Plon Wqr

The D Southern California firms of the rock, sand and ready-mixed concrete industry won a long-delayed victory, September 4, in the arbitration of the final disputed item dealing with a pension plan for 1700 truckdrivers working in the local industry when Arbitrator Dr. Paul Prasow, UCLA, awarded the employers the right to establish a locally controlled pension plan for their employes instead of compelling them to accept the controversial multi-milliondollar plan of the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust Fund requested by the unions, and over which they had a 3-months strike in 1955.

In his Seotember 6 bulletin to dealer members of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn., Orrie Hamilton said this is the first setback encountered by the WCTPTF which, the producers charged, the union had been promoting as an effective substitute for the closed shop, which is illegal under the Taft-Hartley Act.

Tree Form Progrom Adds 90r43l Acres to Colifornio Roll

Add 90,431 acres to California's inclustry-operated Tree Fz-rrn prrogram to grow timber as a crop on private, taxpaying forest land. This acreage is embraced in 10 well-managed timber tracts which the Forest Practice committee of Western Pine Assn., Tree Farm certifying agency for the pine region of the state, sairl it has approved for certification.

Largest of the new units enrolled is the 70,000-acre Weldrvood Forest of U.S. Plywood Corporation, the firm's first California Tree Farm.

Other owners of the new Tree Farms include Meadow Valley Lumber Co., Quincy; San Juan Gold Co., Inc., Berkeley, and Winton Lumber Co., Diamond Springs.

The Tree Farm committee of the California Redwood Assn. has also added six tracts to its Tree Farm rolls so far this year, according to C. Russell Johnson, Tree Farm chairman, bringing to 49 the number of new additions in the redwood region this year.

California now has 239 Tree Farms embracing over 2.1 millicn acres enrolled in the program to grow repeated timber crops.

Since many prospects do not buy home improvements upon their first inquiry, the program also includes an easy system for following prospects, and making more sales at lorver cost. This sales management feature includes a prospect-card filing system, along rvith tips on selling technrques.

"During the past two years, lumber dealers have constantly been advised to 'get into' the home modernization and repair business. Many &rave been hesitant because they remembered the difficulties and the pitfalls of estimating, selling and making a profit on this type of business. We believe we have found a formula which will enable any lumber dealer-whether he is a large or small operator-to increase his home improvement sales volume and decrease his sales and advertising cost," Nowels said.

Cole Reports on Mortgqge Policies

Albert M. Cole, Administrator, Housing and Home Finance Agency, announces an important series of actions affecting the iniurance and guaranty of home mortgage loans under various Federal programs. It is expected that these actions will facilitate the flow of available mortgage investment funds into the financing of lower-priced homes and thereby make it easier for American families in the lower- and middle-income groups to purchase homes. These actions are being taken by constittte.nt igencies of the Housing and Home Finance Agency'and by the Veterans Administration.

The actions being taken by the HHFA constituent agencies include the establisirment of a lower schedule of minimum required down payments on hom'e purchases financed by FHAinsured home mortgage loans; Jn increase in the maximum

permissible interest rate on FHA-insured home mortgage loans io 5t/+ percent; and a nelv schedule of prices at which Ff,IA and VA mortgages will be purchased by the Federal National Mortgage Association in its secondary market operations.

The Veterans Administration is simultaneously announcing a schedule of maximum allowable discounts on VA-guaranteed home mortgage loans.

These steps represent a coordinated effort on the part of the Federal housing agencies to carry out the stated dir'ectives of the Congress regarding discount controls in a manner that will be least disruptive to the normal functioning of the home building and home financing markets, and at the same time to assist families in the lower- and middle-income groups to purchase homes. It is expected that the latter purpose will be accomplished by attracting a larger proportion of the funds available for investment in home mortgages into the financing of lower-priced homes. The actions are also expected to facilitate the purchase of homes by veterans of World War II, whose entitlement to a home loan guaranty expires in July 1958.

The aim of the housing agencies in promulgating these new regulations is to channel a larger share of available mortgage investment funds into the financing of lower-priced homes without increasing inflationary pressures in our economy.

FNMA Announces New Purchase Prices For FHA and VA Mortgages

More than 40 Dubs members. 39-of whom staved for dinner, took in the 106th Ouls, Ltd. tournament': at the Meadow Club in Fairfax, August 16. Ernie Bacon, Fair- hurst Lumber Co., and Dave Davis, Simpson Redwood Company, were hosts for the tournament, the first to be held under the new leadership of Hollis Jones, recently elected Dubs president.

In the Dubs handicap Class A flight (0-11) it was Chuck Noble on top with a 66 net. Ellsworth Keene followed suit with a 7O net and Del Travis took third place with a low net of 78.

Winner of the Class B flight (12-19) was Ralph Lamon, who fired a 70 low net. Dave Davis and Bill Freeland tied for second place position with a pair of 72s, and Hollis Jones and R. Daniel did likewise for third spot with equal scores of 73.

The Class C boys (2U30 handicip) really outdid themselves and, as a result, it rvas a four-.ivay tie in that division. All deadlocked at a low net of 66 were-Bob Kilgore, Knute 'Weidman, Harry Hood and Tom Gray.

Qegrg-e Monnier sh ot a 76 for the'low gross of the day, and Andy Togly, Roy Mattok and Frank Boileau finished first to third in the guest flight division. In addition, the club presented a special prize to Marion Ward, who shot a 127 for his first game of golf.

fi'P cuts nature's redwood "packages" down to size

The prime California Redwoods harvested by Georgia-Pacific include some of the largest logs now being cut anywhere in the world. Many, like the one shown here, must be divided into sections before they can be handled by even the outsized saws at G-P's redwood mills.

But that's only the first step in repackaging G-P Redwood for profitable dealer sales.

Redwood demands an exacting drying process. At Hammond's drying yards millions of feet are in the drying process, often for more than a year. Laboratory-controlled kilns scientifically measure the specific moisture content desired for each usage.

That's why so many customers who mean Redwood Siding, Finish or Pattern, say "Hammond".

For a time-honored guarantee of the quality your customers seek include HAMMOND-stamped redwood in your inventory.

Mills at Samoa and Eureka, Galifornia

Handy Packagc: G-P bevel siding is packaged in all standard lengths. Easier to handle. , . easier to sell.
