The instruction is designed primarily for key second men in the organization-those men who are or will shortly assume management responsibility, men in which the firm has a vital interest. The course will be heavily pointed toward merchandising in all its phases: from purchasing, to financing, to operating costs, credits and collections, aiivertising, internal sales analysis, accounting, etc.-i11 short, a concise, highly integrated merchandising course.

Instructors will be men of specialized knowledge within the lumber industry or allied industries.

In addition to periods of instruction, field trips have been arranged so students will be able to see first-hand some excellent practices of other yards in merchandisiirg, yard layout and personnel policies.

The San Luis Obispo County ietail lumber merchants went another step forward last month when they voted a motion favoring grade stamping and appointed a committee, headed by Ralph Hagle of Hagle-DeCou Lumber Co. in Atascadero, to draft a resolution for approval of the membership at their October meeting.

\Yesleln Red Cedar'- This giant cedar reaches its finest development in the rainy forests of British Columbia's southern coast, where it may grow to 200 feet tall and 18 feet in diameter. With its straight, beautiful grain, light weight, working ease and exceptional all-weather durability, Western Red Cedar is highly esteemed by home builders the world over, for both exterior and indoor use. It has a very low shrinkage factor and its cellular structure gives it a very high insulating value. Heightening the interest of this fine wood's attractively figured grain is, its wide color variationlanglng from a deiicate straw tone to a dark ruddy brown. Left in its natural state. or stained, bleached, varnished or painted, Western Red Cedar graces every setting with a rich look of warmth and character.
