The Glory of BeinE q Port

Civilization began when men started grouping and banding together for their own protection and advantage.

The civilization of business began when individuals learned to join together in intelligent organizations.

They began to know the glory of being a part, instead of the lack of wisdom in remaining apart.

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT preached the need for and value of lumber trade organizations and associations in its first issues, and tras kept up the work ever since, telling lumbermen to know the glory of being a part of the industry-a working part.

Your trade association is a vital element of your industry. It is the sole means by which the thought of the industry aaa

can be expressed; it is the sole means by which better ideas may be expressed and wrong practices eliminated; it is the sole means by which your govertrrlsll-in time of needcan call upon your industry as a whole.

So, be a part-not apart.

Slere are two wood-paneling products that givo, interiors smart, smooth-tertured beauty.

Ven-O-TV'ood is ribbon-grain Philippine mahoganf veneer overlaid on the same highly dent-resisting flake board as Flakewood. It's smooth, requires no sanding nor other finishing and is ready for staining or varnishing. Like Flakewood it has an unusually low shrinking and swelling factor.

Flakewood's remarkably different: 'Wood flako faces in your choice of pine, maple, fir, ceda,r'or Philippine mahogany, securely bonded together under heat and pressure. Satin smooth, 3-dimen' sional appearance without roughness. Contemporary good looks. May be stained, tinted with color, lacquered or varnished in its natural finish.

Flakewood and Ven-O-Wood are sturdy and durable. They may be sawed, nailed and mounted with glue. They make excellent overlays for furniture, cabinets, doors and commercial interiors, especially where low shrinkage and swelling are important.
