,,SHEDS WATER LIKE A DUCK'S BACK"

In the past we've applied a water-repellent to our bevel siding, when ordered that way. Now all Rockport Redwood bevel siding is factory-sealed with Woodtox, for maximum protection-and al no entra cosf. With this added value, lumber dealers can now offer their customers a truly superior product at competitive prices.

The advantages of rvater-repellent treatment are widely recognized, since moisture is the greatest single cause of problems with 'ivood sidings.

EDITORIAL

Notionol Forest Prpducts Week

It is again time to bring to your attention that ritual of our industry, National Forest Products Week which this year is sched' uled to run from the l8th to the 24th.

Although it has had considerable success and has been promoted avidly in some parts of the country, it has never met with much real enthusiasm in California, despite the good results that groups in Arizona and Oregon have gotten from their efiorts with The Week.

From what we have learned so far from some of the groups that normally take a hand, this year will be even worse than last. To cite an example, Los Angeles' National Forest Products Week committee gave up even nominal activity last spring when it was discovered that neither money nor effort would be forthcoming. The monies that were carried over from the previous years's committee have already been allocated for use in a local charity. We can't help but think that anyone attempting to raise money in southern California for NFPW in the near future is going to meet with some pretty stifi resistance.

But the real problem with getting Nationel Forest Products Week rolling and self-sustaining is one that seems to plague the

whole industry. It is a v€ry quiet problem and it's called apathy. And the soupy quiet of apathy has all but submerged the promise that National Forest Products Week showed when it was officially proclaimed by the president of the United States a few years ago.

We have only to look at the great strides made by the socalled substitute materials in promoting not only the superiorities of their products, but what they so ringingly and repeatedly re{er to as the inferiorities bf wood, to realize the need for promoting wood and wood products.

It isn't as if everyone was unaware of the need to promote our products. On the contrary, in the last eighteen months, several important indrrslay groups have made considerable strides in planing, financing and implementing promotion at a national level.

But when we get down to a local level where promoting can bring in results the same day from customers walking in and buying, apathy, strangely enough, comes from some of the very people who could most benefit.

We wish we had a cure to present for this apathy that plagues the successful operation of National Forest Produets Week, but we don't. But this much we do know. The week is a good sales tool to bring in the customer and sell him on our products, but it's not being used. Like any bad practice it's going to cost us all a lot of money to let it continue uncorrected.

ln This lssue

This seems to be our issue for birthdays. In this issue it is our pleasure to show you two oldJine firms that are celebrating their corporate birthdays. Neither one, we might add, looks their age. But then who does these days?

Senior of the two firms is the venerable Hobbs Wall Lumber Company of Sen Francisco, which is startlng its smnd century this month as we review the first on pages six and seven. The other, Western Door and Sash Company of Sacramento is at the half.century mark and, judging from their current business vitality, will no doubt double their age. See them on page 10.

Our warmest congratulations to them both.

Hobbs Wall, a Leading Nam Lumber Industry Celebrat(

T{OBBS

WALI- a leading name in lum. rr ber ior 100 years-celebrates its centennial this montir.

A visit today to Hobbs Wall Lumber Company's handsome modern San Francisco headquarters building reflects the "100 years young" philosophy of the company and its position as one of the 'West's largest wholesale distribution firms. efticiently organized to handle an impres-

Calib Hobbs and David Pomeroy, rvho operated a box factory in San Francisco, sailed to Crescent City and, with obvious appreciation for the great virgin stands of timber, decided to establish a large mill and box factory. J. E. Wall joined the organization and it became known as Hobbs, Wall & Company.

At that time, there was no wharf at Crescent City. Supplies and provisi<lns arrived on steamers and sailing vessels, were unloaded onto lighters, packed inland on mules. ,Lumber itself had previously been milled primarily for domestic consumption, without much thought of export. The earliest shipments of logs were hauled from the mills, piled above the high water mark, rolled out to the Iighters and put aboard the steamers. Later came a wharf, wagon roads artd other solutions to reduce the many steps in handling and shipping that were at first necessary.

By 1909, Hobbs Wall was operating two sawmills, several logging camps, a general store, twelve miles of railroad from Smith River to their wharf and employ. ing three to four hundred people. The Lake Earl Mill had a ten-hour capacity of 40,000 board feet and the Elk Valley Mill at Crescent City 100,000 feet. Logging figures near Lake Earl give some idea of the immense erowth of redwood in the

sive volume of redwood, fir, pine, cedar. spruce, hemlock and other species from a growing list of quality western mills. President Michael Coonan and Executive Vice-President William C. Johnson head up an experienced stafi of salesmen working out of the firm's San Francisco and Los Angeles offices.

Hobbs Wall's success in the wholesale field is, in itself, a 2l-year story of steady progress. But, on the occasion of its l00th anniversary, it is interesting to go back to the first 75 years and some of the early events in a history of pioneering, expansion and change.

The story can be said to have begun in Del Norte County, two years before Lincoln became President. Late in 1858, the schooner o'Brother Jonathon" reached Smith River after a trip around the Horn and unloaded a sawmill which was bareed further north and operated for some time until it was returned to Crescent City and eventually put into operation by Hobbs Wall as its first sawmill in the countv.

By the turn of the century, Hobbs Wall was operating mills at Lake Earl and Elk Valley. In 1903, it faced and settled the first strike of mill men and loggers. In May of the same year, Hobbs Wall put its lirst locomotive in operation on its new wharf track. To large holdings of timber-some from Spanish land grantsthe firm added, through acquisition, virtually all the holdings of the lumbering industry in Del Norte County.

area. From a tract of 160 acres, 35 million feet of redwood (log measure) was cut over a period of several years by working crews averaging ,1,5 to 50 loggers. On some parts of the quarter section the stand run produced I million log feet to the acre.

As time went on, Hobbs Wall also acquired and operated its own steam schooners especially built for lumber transport, plying between Crescent City, San Francisco and San Pedro. The two most familiar of these were the "Del Norte" and the "Crescent City." It was not always smooth sailing for these intrepid little steamers. Wallace E. Martin, writing in The Guidrc recently, recounts the disappearance in 1930 of the 'oSouth Coast," a l3l-foot schooner. Chartered to carry 100,000 feet of cedar logs from Crescent City to Coos Bay, it sailed out in a low fog and, from later evidence, apparendy struck Rogue River reef near Port Orford and capsized.

miles ofi Point St. George. Hobbs Wall chartered a biplane to fly over the scene in a search for survivors. Ironically, word of the tragedy reached San Francisco as Hobbs Wall's port captain, Ralph Myers, and members of the Propeller Club were preparing to stage a humorous entertainment sketch entitled "20 Minutes Aboard the South Coast." Captain Stanley Sorenson and his 18 man crew were never found; in 1930 the hulk of the "South Coast" was recovered in a wire-drag survey by the Department of Commerce.

As redwood emerged into its own as a beautiful and use{ul building rnaterial, the emphasis was put on meeting the demand for this durable specie. To round out thc organization, Hobbs Wall also built a modern planing and remanu{acturing plant.in San Francisco at Islais Creek. Lumber lvas slripped there for drying, refinishing and wholesale distribution.

The firm was a California Redwood Association member when CRA was incorporated in I916. Hobbs W'all executive J. Miller Hotchkiss was CRA president {rom l92l to l93L

In the decade following 1928, the hub of activity shifted to the San Francisco plant and yard. Del Norte County holdings were gradually reduced by liquidation for estate and other reasons. Eventually. in

1938, the San Francisco center became the main Hobbs Wall unit, engaged in remanufacturing and selling the output o{ several redwood mills.

While the company's first 75 years was a story of pioneering and expansion with many facets, the past 25 years reflect a successful transition and Hobbs W'all's emergence as a major wholesaler through stability of service and ability to meet the needs of changing times.

TRANSITION

The personality responsible for starting this transition is a popular figure in the California lumber industry, Lewis A. Godard, now a director of Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., Inc. A native of Dayion, W-ashington, Lew Godard joined Hobbs Wall in 1927 alter several years of selling for another firm, worked at its No. I Drumm Street business office in San Fran' cisco, operated the wholesale departmrrnt, rose to general sales manager, then to vice president.

In 1941, with the start of World War II, raw material became so limited that the San Francisco plant had to be closed. With his accrued stock interest, Godard was determined to carry on the Hobbs Wall name. He reorganized Hobbs Wall as a wholesale distribution set-up specializing

in redwood, with executive and sales offices on Montgomery Street in San Francisco and a branch office in Los Angeles. The firm bought and sold the output of several medium-sized mills under contract. And sales proceeded to grow at a very steady rate.

Teaming up with Godard in 1947, was Alfred D. Bell, Jr., a man with a substantial background in lumber. Bell, a native of Yonkers. N.Y.. had worked for Hammond Lumber Company in various capacities after graduating {rom Harvard, became Hammond's general sales manager in l94l and returned there after a tour of service as a Lt. Commander in World War II, leaving Hammond finally to enter business on his own. The vigorous policies and dependable dealings of the Godard and Bell management enhanced Hobbs Wall's reputation as one of the largest redwood wholesalers in the West. Salcs continued to grow and the stafi was gradually enlarged.

In 1957, with an eye to the future, Hobbs Wall decided on a company-owned building to house its own offices and purchased property at what is now 2030 Union Street in San Francisco. The smart and contemporary design of the new twostory structure made nervs because it was (Continued on Pa.ge 66)

lntensive Research Backs Maior Advance ln Siding

ltHE BUILDING INDUSTRY'S first r clear prefinished redwood siding has been perfected after three years of intense research and development by Union Lurnber Company. Sherman A. Bishop, vice president of the California lumber producer, announced the new product is nou' being marketed under the Noyo brand with the specifrc trade name "RG-5 Redwood Siding."

Heretofore, completely prefrnished exterior redwood has been limited to opaque paint coatings. Union's new .'RG-S" finish, however" is the characteristic redwood color which, Bishop points out, "is perhaps the primary reason redwood siding is specified in the first place."

The new siding is CRA certified kiln dried vertical-grain redwood which has been pre-coated at the mill with a super

durable film of 7 mils thickness. Several tirnes more than FHA requirements, the resulting hard shell surface is claimed to possess a degree of durability never before approached'by any clear finish for exterior wood. To back up this claim, Union Lumber Company guarantees "RG-5" siding against blistering, peeling, cracking or flaking for a period of five years from date of installation. This marks the first time a lumber manufacturer has issued a written warranty for a clear finish in any species of wood.

Major innovations ofiered by Union's prefinished siding include: (l) long lasting "maintenance free" surface which will endure years of severe climate of all types;

(2) warm, handsome redwood appearance which will not fade or bleach; (3) fast, economical installation utilizing concealed metal fastening system; (4) elimination of all iob site painting, staining or other fin' ishing; (5) economies of factory versus field finishingi and (6) installation possible during wet weather.

Prior to its current introduction, Noyo RG-S Siding survived several years of exposure to weather on "test fences" throughout the country. Not a single incidence of film failure was reported. Further tests on accelerated weathering equipment backed up Union's claim of a virtually weatherproof surface. Extending the test experience beyond the laboratory, two homes in Fort Bragg, one in New York and one in Maryland were designed for RG-5 exteriors. Continuous inspection of these test homes is scheduled for the years ahead.

RG-5 was developed as a joint project with the industrial finishes laboratories of National Lead Company, manufacturers of Dutch Boy paints. Utilizing specially designed, patented equipment at the Union Lumber Company research center in Fort

(Continued, on Page 84)

TEST RESUITS prove durability of Union's new "RG-5" prefinished redwood siding in comparison with coft ventional job site applied coatings, including paint. Durability test was performed in Atlas Twin Arc Weath'erometer which simulates Florida summer sun with periodic "rain." Each hour in the Weatherometer is equivalent to twenty-four hours of ac'tual exposure. Test samples in photo were "weathered" for approximately 8 years.

Hard Work and Hustle are Part and Parcel of 50 Year Old Firm

IFTY YEARS OF doing business at the same old stand certainly deserves a pat on the back, especially in our modern age of jet bankruptcy.

A few years ago, we here at the Merchant completed our fortieth annual income tax return and after interviewins the subject of this article we're prompted to wonder if, indeed, the old phrase "Life Begins at Forty" might possibly apply to the corporate animal as well.

Anyway, it is with a gica: dcal of ple*ure that we extend a handshake of consratulations to one of northern California's leading distributors, W,estern Door & Sash Company, Oakland and Berkeley, who put the fiftieth candle on its cake a couple of months ago.

ORIGINAI TOCATION

Established in the same location at 5th and Cypress Streets in l9I4 by the Iate JohIr L. Todd and his sono Joe, Westcrn Door & Sash Co. today covers some 52,000 sq. ft. at the original site, plus a big sprawling 40,000 sq. ft. plant in Berkeley. The Oakland plant boasts 37,500 sq. ft. in warehouse area plus a 15,000 sq. ft. mill equipped with the latest woodworking machinery. The Berkeley plant, which specializes in carload business to the eastern trade and government overseas orders, has some 22,500 sq. ft. in warehouse space and an 18,000 sq. ft. mill equipped with high speed production machinery for wood processing, and a 2200 gallon tank for Woodtox treating. Both plants are on a spur and both have several truck docks.

Considering that the company now employs an average of 90 people, operates 9 trucks and has a staff of l0 salesmen, Joc Todd must feel justifiably proud when

he looks back to the beginning of the company when he and his dad worked from day to day as millmen, salesmen, teamsters, etc. In short, they ran the whole show by themselves rantil 1922, when they finally decided they could afiord a secretary, Mrs. L. M. Dowse, who today is the secretarytreasurer of the company.

Fifty years later, Joe Todd continues to be active in the firm as chairman of the board. And that's no complimentary title either. Joe's down at the "shop" each and every day with the 'early risers.

Another 'oearly bird" species is president Hollis Jones. Hollis joined up with Western Door straight out of high school

in the depression year of 1935. From laborer to president in 29 years, with a few years off during the early forties for WW II, that's Hollis' story. Vice-president of our S0-year-old subject is Zook Todd, who started in the mill 15 years ago after graduation from the University of Washington. Today, Zook can be found troubleshooting in any of W'estern Door's territories which stretch from the Oregon border to Bakersfield, in his own Coast Counties territory, or backing up the "brass" in the home office. Operations manager of the concern is Ed Hall, who recently joined the firm (Continued, on Page 68)

A Look at the Slightly Sick Home Building Industry

A spotty market for new homes, strong in some places, weak in others, is evident in the West.

The Journal of Homebuilding, official monthly magazine of the National Association of Home Builders, surveying Western building in its September issue, reports that most of the decline is in the Pacific Northwest and Arizona. with some softening in parts o{ California.

Defense and military-base cutbacks were blamed for the Pacific Northwest decline, while Arizona contractors pointed to over-

building as the source of their difficulties.

No major new trends were visible, but most areas are now using a sprinkling of designs and materials not ordinarily associated with the locality, such as brick homes in the Pacific Northwest and Cape Cod styling in California.

Here are some stat€-by-state conclusions of the survey:

Arizona business has been cut back drastically to compensate for the overbuild. ing during the state's growth boom. Asked to describe the local housing market, Whit-

ney Anderson, President of the Phoenix Association of Home Builders, said: "A lot of our builders got hurt in the last year or so . the big boys have had hundreds of foreclosures, but the little builders got wiped out completely." In Phoenix, the - 3,148 single and multiple dwelling starts during the first quarter of this year were 678 below the same period of 1963.

CAI.IFORNIA SLIPS

California home building has slipped since last year, except in Northern California, where it has merely leveled off and in some cases risen. Most dramatic evidence of the drop was in vast metropolitan Los Angeles, affecting the entire state. The total starts in the first quarter were below a year ago by 7,232 multifamily units and 4,529 single.family units. Because the economic trend had varied little within the l2-month period, overbuilding seemed the culprit. Sanford R. Goodkin Research Corp. predicted 1964 single-family starts in the metropolitan area would be I.5 per cent 'below 1963, while multifamily-unit starts would be 2 per cent above.

In San Diego first-quarter starts for single-family units were about the same as a year earlier, but multiple-family units dropped by 2,257 to 800.

Although Sacramento is relatively stable because of state government, economists predicted a drop in starts this year from 12,349 in 1963 to 7,586. Starts in the Riverside-San Bernardino area increased from 5,01I in the first quarter of 1963 to 6,256 in the first quarter of this year.

Starts in the San Francisco area during the first quaner totaled 9,974, an increase oI 2O4 over a year before. The 2,114 San Jose first-quarter starts for single-family units were only slightly more than a year earlier, but the 2,108 multiple units showed a drop of 922.

Supply is catching up with demand in New Mexico, with emphasis continuing on higher priced single-family homes and on apartments. Home building in Oregon continued prosperous during the first half of the year, especially in Portland, where 2,023 starts for single-family units were issued, against l,5ll for the 1963 period.

Cutbacks by Boeing Aircraft Company hurt the home building industry in W'ashington, especially in the Seattle area. The 1,968 starts in Seattle during the first quarter were 1,311 below a year earlier.

Building activity throughout Montana appeared stable, while overbuilding plagued Nevada. Hardest hit was Las Vegas, where a gigantic two-year boom in housing exploded in the face of ,builders last year as starts declined 33 percent. If multi-family (Cantinued on Page 82)

ORDS Lumber Company of Fresno, servicing contractors throughout the San Joaquin Valley, is fast becoming the leading retail-yard distributor of the glue laminated beams in the Fresno area.

Last year, Norm Cords, president of Cords Lumber decided to expand his glu lam business with an extra selling effort and close working relationship with industrial and commercial builders.

The increasing use of glue laminatecl beams in all types of construction, plus the jobsite delivery feature (eliminating any additional inventory), prompted his decision. Within the past twelve months. the Cords Lumber Company has supplied glu larn beams to schools, churches, warehouses, restaurants, commercial buildings, a hospital and an automobile agency.

Three months ago, Cords was faced with the problem of supplying glu lam beams on an installed basis. The contractors bidding the Professional Ofrce Building in Fresno would only accept his quotation if it included the erection of the beams required figured in as a part of the estimate.

This Dealer Sells Profitable Glu Lam Jobs

This particular job was complicated by the large sizes of the beams, and the fact that the floor level of the building was about four feet above the sidewalk on a busy downtown intersection.

Cords estimated the erection costs, and bid the glu lam beams on an installed basis. The installation of all of these beams worked very smoothly.

These beams were fabricated by the Tru-Lam beam department of the BoiseCascade Corporation, Boise, Idaho and sold through their representative, the California Sugar and Western Pine Agency o{ Burlingame. Arrangements were made to have the beams delivered to the jobsite when the concrete block construction hatl reached the stage of requiring the beams. The Boise-Cascade Corporation truck was at the jobsite for the unloading of the beams simultaneously with the Marion crane for the erection and placement of the beams, thus minimizing crane time and labor costs.

The nineteen beams involved in this job were unloaded and set in place within four hours. While some of the beams were 9" x 3ols" x 6l feet in length, it required only one man at each end of the beam to set it in the metal hangers, as the skilled crane operator easily maneuvered the beams ofi the truck, over the structure, and dropped them into their proper positions. Since this successful and profitable

operation, the Cords Lumber Company has serviced other projects with glue laminated beams on an installed basis, and the

GLU-IAM lS guided into place by workman after the big crane swings beam in where they can handle it.

ocroln, l96a

jobo erection of the beams has become a regular part of the firm's business.

With the increasing volume of glue laminated beams being distributed through retail lumber yards, the success of the Cords Lumber Company should be of interest to other dealers in California. The handling of Glue Lam beams by the retail lumber yard affords him greater opportunity to sell the contractor the lumber and plywood required for the roof structure.

DKfl-ffitHIS IS the way a big sign reads along side of a highway in West Texas: "This is God's country; quit driving like Hell!" *af*

And there's the famous question the little Jewish boy asked his father: "Papa, where do these Gentiles get all this money we take away from them?" * * *

I,et us talk salesmanship. In Pasadena, California, two high bridges cross the arroyo close to the famous Rose Bowl of football fame. There is a two hundred foot drop from one of the bridges to the rocks below. And so many people have used that drop as a manner and means of suddenly and deliberately shuffiing ofi his mortal coil that they call it "Suicide Bridge."

one day a man drivin, l"rooln" l.ldr" ,u* another man starting to climb over the outer rail of the bridge. He slammed on his brakes, jumped from his car, and got to the would-be jumper just in time to grab him by the leg. Then a violent argument ensued, one man claiming his right as well as his determination to get out of a world that had grown intolerable, and the other trying to convince him he was wrong.

BY JACK DIONNE

'olt's my life and I'm tired of it, and I'm going to end ito" said the despondent man. oolife isn't worth living, and this world is a good place to get out of." "Your wrorg," said ,the other, and then he made him a proposition. 'oCome with me and let me talk with you for just fifteen minutes, and if I cannot convince you that you are wrong I'll withdraw my objections and you can go ahead. What do you say?" The would-be suicide agreed that the proposition was fair, and climbed down ofi the concrete rail. Arm and arm and in deep conversation the two men walked ofi thebridge. * * *

In about fifteen minutes they came back, walked to the place where they had first met, AND BOTH OF THEM JUMPED OVER. The trouble was that the wrong man was the,best salesman.

Here is another 'bridge story-this one is a toll bridge. The toll bridge keeper was waiting for customers, when he saw a dilapidated jalopy approaching at high speed. When he realized the driver was not stopping at the toll gate he stepped back to a safe spot, stuck his arm out, and shouted, "One dollar!" There was a scream of brakes as the old car came to a stop. The driver got out and said to the toll gate man, "Mister, I don't know who you are nor where you "o*" Ito--fut you have done bought yourself a car!"

LA Hoo-Hoos View Grid Film

More than three dozen lumbermen from [.os Angeles Hoo-[Ioo club 2 gathered at Candlewood Country Club in Whittier August I I, for their monthly golf tourney and dinner meeting. Vice President Phil Kelty presided at the meeting, filling-in for President Ken Kenoffel who is vacationing in the Orient.

Highlight of the evening was a color film on the'64 NFL Pro Bowl football game, presented by U.S. Gypsum Corp. U.S.G.'s John Houser, a veteran of six years play in the NFL with the Los Angeles Rams and the Dallas Cowboys, spoke to the group relating several of his experiences as a pro lineman.

l.ong-time L.A. member Harry Shedrick of Carroll Moulding Co. suffered a bizarre mishap during the afternoon golfing ses' sion. Harry was struck in the eye by a golf ball that had rebounded off a steel fence standard. He was rushed to the local hospital where he underwent surgery, and is now recuperating at his home in Whittier, Calif. after spending five days in the hospital.

Golfing trophy winners were Ralph Irwin, low gross winner with a 77 and Ed Difani, who copped low net honors with a 78 coupled with his 18 handicap (believe it or not) for a 60 net.

Homer Warde took second low net honors in the first flight, Charlie Strait second Iow net in the second flight and Don John' son was low net winner in the third flight' The Lumber Associa' tion's W'ayne Gardner captured the coveted "Hacker" trophy, posting an admirable score of I31 strokes. (I,et this be a lesson to you once-e-month goHers.)

Three Bills Become Lqw

Two conservation bills and the Housing act ol L964 have 'been signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson. All three involve large sums of public money to be spent on the programs.

The bill to establish a National Wilderness Preservation System creates a wilderness system composed of some nine million acres of national forest, wilderness and canoe areas, with provision for the addition of some 45 million acres during the next l0 years. The compromise bill signed by the President was generally supporte<i by the natural resources industries.

Another natural resources measure approved by the President was the Administration's Land and Water Conservation Fund Act, which establishes an estimated 81.8 billipn fiund to be used over a lO-year period for federal land acquisition and state recreation and planning acquisition and development.

The Housing Act of 1964 is a $I,131,800,000 measure to continue and expand a variety of Federal housing programs.

Johnson told those assembled that there was a commitment to assure every American an opportunity to live in a decent home and a safe and decent neighborhood. He termed the legislation 'oa milestone to assure that commitment."

Redwood Mqnqgement Explqined

Thirty men representing the California Redwood Association's Board of Directors, Tree Farm Committee and Redwood Information Committee and guests repr€senting the U. S. Forest Service, the American Forest Products Industries, Inc., and the North Coast Tim,ber Association have visited member mill working forests in Humboldt and Del Norte counties to observe curr€nt management programs and progressive re-growth of redwood.

The two-day tour, arranged by CRA's Tree Farm Committee Chairman Gene Hofsted, forester for Arcata Redwood Company, included visits to current and 1959 redwood production sites oI Miller Redwood Company, Simpson Timber Company, Arcata Redwood Company, Georgia-Pacific Corporation and The Pacific Lumber Company.

Company foresters and logging superintendents described present redwood forest management programs and pointed up the successful re-growth of added volumes in "leave" trees and the replenishing of the forests from natural and aerial seeding and sprout growth since 1959-and earlier-logging operations. Regrowth volumes averaging more than one thousand board feet per acre per year were observed. (Preliminary figures from the upcorning U. S. Forest Service Survey indicate that the net annual growth of redwood saw timber on commercial forest lands for 1962 was 620 million board feet as compared with 396 million board feet in 1952. This represents a 56 percent increase in ten years.)

Based on this tour, and a planned future tour of redwood operations in Mendocino County, facts and figures will be published by the California Redwood Association through its Redwood Information Committee for use in apprising the people of the U. S. and their legislators of the importance to the North Coast Counties of the redwood timber economy and its enduring quality. A series of one- and two-day "show-me" tours for publishers, writers and legislators is planned.

Big Ben Sqsh & Door Growth

Fast, regular ocean shipments by barge from Southern Oregon and the Columbia River direct to Southern California.

Now, over 5,000,000 feet of dimension lumber and studs monthly . . manufactured especially for Southern California construction needs.

Art Neth would appreciate an opportunity to tell you how you and your customers will benefit from using dependable D & R dimension and studs. You can reach him by calling TRiangle 3-2668 or STate 3-0544.

Marvin Slater, Big Ben Sash & Door Company executive, has revealed that his firm is completing a quartei million dollar improvement program started early last summer.

In expanding the plant facilities, Big Ben installed one of the largest San Antonio rigid pole buildings in use in the southern counties area. The expansion program also includes new remanufacturing machinery throughout the plant.

The new warehouse will be equipped with a new idea in loading docks for faster, more efficient handling of shipments. "This will increase the ready-to-load frames inventory by 100/o and will eliminate delay in pick-up and deliveryo" said Mr. Slater, "and we will maintain the largest stock of built-up frames in California at our Los Alamitos plant," he continued.

In addition to the huge investment, the expansion program means additional personnel in both production and operation, along with expanded administration and sales. o'We have shown a steady growth serving the retailer and we will continue to distribute through legitimate channels of trade only," Marvin Slater summed up.

New McKinleyville Building

Arnold Nielsen, owner of Arcata Building Supply & Millwork and Nielsen's Hardware at McKinleyville, broke ground last month on a new store building in McKinleyville, next to the Safeway market. The new building will have 10,000 sq. ft. of display area, including a repair shop for Nielsen's Honda franchise (which has,been a gold mine by the way).

LMA's Pomeroy Resigns

The resigrration of Jack Pomeroy, executive vice-president of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, was accepted with deep regret by the association's executive committee on September 18. LMA president Clair Hicks, who made the announcement, chaired the special meeting of the executive committee which was held at the Jack Tar Hotel in San Francisco, headquarters of the big nortlern California retail lumber trade association.

Pomeroy joined LMA 17 years ago, when it was then headquartered in Fresno. During the ensuing period he has been credited with the building and strengthening of LMA, today one of the strongest and most influencial regional trade associations in the NLBMDA network. Besides his effective leadership and management of the many facets of LMA activities, Pomeroy also took an active part in legislative matters and has become a familiar face around the capitol city of Sacramento. fu a result of his legislative knowledge, and activity in all levels of the industry, he was also a member of the executive committee of NLBMDA at Washington, D.C.

LMA field man, J. R. ooBob" McBrien, has been named temporary executive vice-president until another meeting of the executive committee convenes.

Stqndqrds Commiftee Chonge Urged

The House small business subcommittee has been told by an anti-standard group that broader representation of all segments of the industry is needed on the American Lumber Standards Committee.

Miles W. Davidson, chairman, special lumber grades committee of the Lumber Association of Southern California, said "the Iopsided lack of objectiveness in the present outmoded lumber standards committee completely negates any reasonable chance of determining standards that are palatable on an industry-wide basis."

Ralph D. Hill, also representing the southern California association, urged that the committee include retailers and users o{ lumber.

The committee named by the secretary of commerce, some time ago recommended a new set of lumber standards. The Commerce Department refused, saying it felt the voting did not represent a favorable consensus.

The House subcommittee is looking into the impact of this action upon small business.

James Forqio of the Shaw and McClelland Mill & Lumber Co., Ingiewood, said the proposed new standards would result in increased costs which would have to be passed on to consumers.

Mqchine Grqding Group Forms

Five lumber manufacturing companies have established a temporary organization-informally called the EMSR MachineGraded Lumber Committee-to promote, jointly, the understanding and use of electro-mechanically stress rated lumber.

Pooling information, the cooperating firms seek to expand the uses for precisely rated structural lumber products in the residential, light commercial, and industrial construction fields. and to open up.opportunities in other areas.

All five companies use the same basic electro.mechanical stress rating system, and expect to produce nearly 100 million board feet in EI\'ISR by the end of 1964.

The committee members are: Bohemia Lumber Co. (Rickini Div.) Culp Creek, Ore.; Boise.Cascade Corp., Boise, Idaho; Frank Lumber Co., Mill City, Ore.; Potlatch Forests, Inc., Lewiston, Idaho, and Simpson Timber Co., Seattle, Wash.

Uniform Stud Lenglh Adopred

After a year and a half of study and discussion the Lumber Association of Southern California has voted to adopt a standard stud length of 92Y2" for distribution to the construction industry in their area.

The study included talks with the Lath 'and Plaster Institute, Drywall contractors and retail and wholesale lumbermen.

A 92L/2" stud will allow for u 96r,,8" ceiling height from finish hardwood floor to finish plaster ceiling. Present FHA requirements allow a 96" height, as does the Los Angeles City Building Code. The Uniform Building Code will allow a 7'6" ceilirg.

The standard length was adopted after discussing the various sizes stocked by retail lumbermen. It was found that most yards carried five sizes but the one called for most was 92t/2,, long.

By adopting this length, it will provide better service to the contractor as all studs coming to the job will be the same length. - Errors have occurred and walls have been nailed up with at least two different stud lengths in one wall. In addition, the new standard length will allow far faster invenI tory turnover, whic-h means the studs received on the job will be bright and clean. Regardless of the gradeo a load of dirty studs looks like poor quality and can create a bad image for both the supplying lumber

dealer and the using contractor. This standard size will also mean that the dealer has the right size in stock. Many times a dealer orders studs for a particular job and the reguirements on the job are greater than anticipated. When an order is placed for the additional quantity the right length may not be available. The dealer either orders again, or if he has longer ones available, cuts them to length.

Forests of Brozil Described

o'Forests and Forest Industries of Brazil," a new booklet issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture's For'est Service, brings together for the first time many facts and figures covering that forest-rich nation.

Forest lands in Brazil encompass 93I million acres, about 44 percent of the country's total area, but only 15 Percent of this acr,eage-much of it in the southern part of the country-is being commercially utilized. Broadlea{ species (hardwoods) occupy more than 95 percent of the total {orest area.

"Forests and Forest Industries of Brazil" presents an up-to-date and comprehensive report of the forest resources of Brazil and of the forest products industries to be found in that country. Forest industries account for about 5 percent of the value of Brazil's total industrial output, the booklet points out.

Copies of "Forests and Forest Industries of Brazil," Forest Resource Report No. 16, may 'be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 20402. The price is 40 cents.

First Southern Pine Plywood Shipped

An important milestone for the South's new pine plywood industry was reached when Old Hickory Box & Lumber Co. of Nashville, Tenn. took delivery of the first carload of pine concreteform plywood ever shipped to a customer.

The shipment was announced by Georgia-Pacific Corp., whose mill at Fordyce, Ark., produced the plywood. The mill, first in what has become the South's {astest growing industry with several mills either planned or under construction, has been producing sheathing and regular sanded grades since last December.

Concrete-form plywood until now has been available only {rom West Coast fir mills. It is a special high quality grade that must meet the strictest water-proof glueline and strength specifications, G-P said. Such pancls are used to form concrete structures ranging {rom {oundations to bridges and high-rise buildings.

"The new pine panels prove feasibility of using carefully selected Southern pine timber for the most rugged plywood uses," according to G-P. "They have passed the same American Plywood Assn. quality tests required of West Coast fir plywood to meet commercial standards published by the U. S. Department of Commerce. All panels carry the official DFPA grademark."

Conslruction Trends

The nation's building ,boom is losing some of its force, accord' ing to latest government reports. Over all,. construction activity, although still at high levels, appears to be leveling off from the sustained rise that began in early 1961.

Of course, not all categories of construction have reached-a plateau; some are up, some down, some marking tirne' Here's a capsule report on the construction picture, as indicated by federal figures:

Builders are cutting back sharply on apartment construction because of overbuilding in many areas. Apartment starts in July were one-third lower than in January. Single-iamily home starts are holding stable at an annual rate of about one million unitsunchanged from the trend of re-cent years. An oversuppy of office buildings appears to have taken the bloom from the boom-temporarily, at least. Industrial building constitutes the strongest element of the total construction mix at present-and there's no sign of letup in the continued increase that started in the second half of 1963.

Democrotic Plotform ond Wood

The Democratic National Convention, which met at Atlantic City, adopted a natural resources plank which included the following sections of interest to the forest produet industries:

"Provide the people of this nation a balanced outdoor recreation program to add to their health and well'being, including the addition of improved managem€nt of national parks, forests, lake' shores, seashores, and recreation areas.

o "Preserve through the means provided by the Wilderness Bill of 1964 millions of acres of primitive and wilderness areas

o "Continue to support balanced land and forest development through intensive forest management on a multiple-use and sus' tained-yield basis, reforestation of burned lands, providing public access roads, range improvement, watershed management, concern for small business operations and recreational uses."

Filipino Faker Faces Forester

This nb ol dishonest d,ealer il,oings is reprinted, lrom the Philippines Herald and was pirked up by wholesaler PauJ KenJ on his year-long, world cruise. It is interesting to nnte tha,t d,ealers in the Philippines are under the legal jurisd.iction oJ their Forestry Deparhnenr.-Eorton.

NIEXT TIME this dealer sells lumber r \ again to anyone he would be looking at the buyer from head to foot hoping he would not turn out to be another forestry specialist.

That is, if he would still ,be around at all to do any selling. For after the law finishes with him, he would be a free boarder at Muntinglupa (prison) for a long stretch of time.

The ofiense: Passing off inlerbr lumber I.or the high qwlity lurnber a buyer pa,id, pr.

To the utter dismay of this particular seller, the buyer happened to be the president himself of the Society of Filipino Foresters.

It appears that Nicolas P. Lansigan, the head of the local foresters group and an expert in woods, ordered 170 board feet of. guijo lum,ber at a big tableria in a Manila suburb.

The invoice issued made the lumber appear as guijo and was priced as such: P0.65 (about 16{ in American money) a board foot. But the lumber was only a)mon, a much poorer lumber which sells for only P0.34 (about BrkA) a board foot.

Lansigan personally brought the lumber back. No, the owner of the lumber yard insisted. The lumber is guijo. What's worst he began to lecture on how to tell guijo from any other wood. Exasperated, Lansi. gan finally identified himself as a forester.

An the dealer started singing a different tune, admitting the substitution. "Yes, the Iumber is a.lmon." So sorry. W'e can o'fix" the whole thing, yes?

But Lansigan refused to have the case fixed. Instead, he was taking up the case with the bureau of forestry which has jurisdiction over lumber dealers.

Lansigan pointed out that there are two Iaws enacted specifically to protect the pu,blic from fraud in the sale of lumber.

The nation's "lumber" dealers only do aborrt one'third of their business in lumber. Even when you add plywood and millwork sales, the figure climbs to only 53.34 percent. The other 46.66 percent of sales are in every category from asphalt products to sporting equipment.

The figures were obtained in a recent survey by the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Assn. The survey covered the following 24 separate product lines.

The first figure represents the percentage of sales related to total volume. The figure in parentheses is the percentage of dealers selling each line: Lumber-all kinds: 37'71 QA.al); Plywry! - all kiirds: 9.59 (92.2\; AII other milhaork: 8.04 (88.8) ; WaIl' boards-all kinds: 6.?9 (90.7) ; Masonry supplies: 4.66 (75.6) ; Asphatt and asbestos prod,ucts: 4.65 (9I.9); Hard,ware, tools, gard,en equipment: 3.74 (69.5); Paint, glass anil uallpper: 3.02 (79.5) ; Metal windows, d'oors and lrames: 2.80 (72.4); Maior household, appliances: 2.26 (9.0)i All rnnmerchandise receipts: I.86 (30.f ) ; Insulation (batt, fill and roll) : 1.82 (86.0); Pre' fabricated, buitilings and parts: I.42 (2L.8); Hay, grain, feed, and, larm suppli.es: I.4l (4.1); Fuels-coal. wood, oil, LP gas: 1.28 (f9.5) ; Kitchen cabinets (wood and metal) : f .f4 (aS.I) ; Metal Roofing and, siding: .95 (61.0) ; Heating and, plumbing equiprnent: .U (26.9); Farm equipment: .63 (2.8) ; Kitchenwara a:nd- smq,ll appliances: .49 (f0.0) ; Floor cotterings, other than wood: ,42 (3?.f); Sporting and, recreational equipment: .06 (6.3) ; Furniture and sleep equiprnent: .0fi02 (LS).

South Williqmette Lumber Sold

The controlling interest in South Willamette Lumber, Inc. of Eugene, Oregon has been acquired by Gerald C' Snellstrom and Ed F. Wade. Snellstrom is the former vice president of the lumber company bearing his name. Wade was his sales manager.

In making the announcement, George P. Hitchcock, secretarytreasurer stated that the company, formed in 1937, will not depart from its previously stated policy of dependable shipments of high quality merchandise.

John "Duke" Elder, formerly with Hirt & Wood Lumber Co. of Newport Beach, Calif. has joined the firm to handle daily man' agement. Hitchcock also said that he has retained an interest in the corporation and will continue to handle specialty accounts and maintain mill and customer contacts.

Moore Kilns Instqlled

Two single-track and one double-track lumber dry kilns-will be installed this fall by Spalding & Son, Inc. of Grants Pass, Oregon.

Moore Dry Kiln Company of Oregon will furnish the three complete lumber kilns in addition to the other equipment necrs' saryfor modernizing this company's existing kilns. Special prefab' ricated overhead duct outlet coils which provide complete coverage of all circulating air, will be included with the new kilns.

Other features of the new installations are automatic temper' ature and humidity recorder controllers, 7/' diameter l0'blade heavy construction, reversible disc fans, and aluminum ventilators. Heavv duty dry kiln trucks and I-Beam Bunks will also be put into operation "t tlii. southern Oregon lumber mill.

During modernizationo the kilns will be painted with Moore'Kiln paints especially compounded to prevent deterioration in kilns and related equipment.

Moulding Producers Convene

This coming year members of the Western Wood Moulding producers, Inc. will make standardization of moulding its "major progI.m. This was the decision at the second "rrrruJ meeting in San Francisco recently.

The 38 member firms, now producing in excess of Z0 percent of the moulding from the western area followed a strong recommendation of their secretary-manager, in taking this aet-ion.

In _his annual 'report, Warren C. Jimerson, s€cretary.manager, stated, "We should continue this in an attempt to standardizJ as pugh T po*sible and actively promote a program of standardization."

Jimerson said the first step should be to bring the Wp series :"hl"g up to date by including new patterns when necessary and by deleting patterns not regularly shipped. He also recommended "redesigning patterns where the design is such that it is contrary to good manufacturing practices."

Jimerson also reported the U.S. Department of Commerce has indicated its willingness to cooperato in working towards developing a new catalog into the commercial standards. He added that to further the program of standardization, the program should be carried into the hands of dealers. architects attd b,rild"...

Members heard reports of several committees, including a recommendation for grade changes to finished mouldings tllat are more in line with current practices and requirements of today's markets.

The promotion committee recommended that Pacific National Public Relations of Portland, Oregon, be retained for another year and "that we recogrize the fine job they have done fo, o.rr issociation in its critical formative period." PNPR also was commissioned to do a high quality product directory, listing the members and their products."

Featured speaker was Cleve Edgett, vice president in charge of promotions for the Western W'ood Products Association. Portland, He told about promotional plans for the new Western Wood Products group.

Persons in attendance received first copies of "Case 'n Base News," a monthly newsletter. In addition to news about members and the industry, the publication contains price trends, orders on hand, shipments and housing starts. The newsletter will go to all members and subscribers.

No change was made in membership dues, which is on the basis of 25 cents per thousand board feet produced. Wood mouldings represent a $100 million a year industry in the United States, of which more than two-thirds are produced in the Western states. Western \[ood Moulding Producers ship more than 4,800 railroad cars of finished mouldings annually.

Top officers of Western Wood Moulding Producers were reelected. Nelson C. Edens of Southwest Forest Industries, Phoenix, Arizonq was renamed president, and Gayle V. Morrison, Sunset Moulding Co., Yuba City, California, was reelected vice presidenttreasurer. Warren C. Jimerson was renamed secretary-manager.

Lumber Morking Quosh Urged

The National Association of Home Builders has moved to quash any efforts to revive the once-vetoed "lumber marking" legislation.

NAHB's Perry E. Willits has written Chairman Warren G. Magnuson of the Senate Commerce Committee that the home building industry remains opposed to such legislation.

Willits, as chairman of the NAHB Legislative Committee, noted published reports that supporters of the proposal to mark lumber with the country of origin are expected to seek amendments to a House-

passed steel container marking bill which would apply also to lumber.

"If so," Willits wrote, "we certainly urge your Committee to hold public hearings on tbe issues involved before considering such anamendment...

o'Such an amendment would ,be . op. posed solidly by the home building indus. try and by other consumers of lumber."

Willits noted tlat President Johnson ve. toed a bill last December which would have required oocountry of origin" labeling on imported articles, including lumber. In addition to raising new barriers to foreign trade, Mr. Johnson said in his veto message that the proposed legislation would

Mochine io Cube Sawdust Boqsts o Greol Pofentiol

A new machine which has had several year's use in agriculture is now being investigated by several forward looking forest products companies.

Called a o'cubing" machine, it was originally invented for rnaking large pellets or cubes approximately I1/+" square from dry alfalfa hay. With no essential change the same equipment can cube waste paper, dry bark, sawdust and shavings.

The Black Diamond Co. of Sacramento is preparing to test market a sawdust briquette for use in barbecuing. This bri quette is made entirely from dry white fir sawdust.

Tremendous impact pressure is utilized and the combination of heat and pressure will make cubes of even non-reginous saw. dust like white fir without any additives. After compression, densities of 30 to 38 lbs. per cubic foot are reached so that products which were very difficult to transport because of their low density now can be efficiently hauled.

In essence the machine consists of an exceptionally rugged two cylinder compressor driven by a 100 HP motor. The square pistons move in and out of the dies at 400 strokes per minute. The die converges slightly and has no head, so the product flows out slowly from the end. The pistons withdraw completely from the die during each stroke permitting a charge of the product to enter the space between the piston and the die. This charge is then driven into the die and compressed against the material already in the converging die section. Compared to existing hydraulic machines, rather high volumes can be handled as 21/z tons per hour of finished cubes can be easily attained and rates as high as 6 tons per hour are possible.

The pressures are so high that a large clod of heavy clay which mistakenly got into the machine produced a sort of sandstone which was insoluble in water.

The inventer, Don Vaughan of Woodland, California sold the patent rights to John Deere Company, and his company, Vaughan Manufacturing Co. is building the machines under rights from Deere. The Pillsbury Company s€t up a test machine in Woodand and ran tests for Black Diamond Co. of Sacramento, Sequoia For. est Products of Dinuba, Brooks Scanlon, Douglas Lumber Co. of Truckee and a number oI other firms.

Wood in High-Rise Aportments

Changes in the 1964 uniform building code that recognize, for the first time, the efficient fire-protective qualities that can be built into wood, are bringing about some major changes in construction of high-rise buildings.

For yearg such buildings designed for multiple occupancy had to be totally constructed of steel, irono concrete or masonry to meet requirements of the International Conference of Building Officials. Following years of tests which show tllat wood, impregnated with fire-deterring chemicals, has low flame spread and fuel contribution, the 1964 code allows use of fire-protected wood in studs, plates and blocking in these multi-occupancyo high-rise buildings.

First major use in this area of fire-protected wood in lieu of the steel studs previously required is by the Tan Construction Company, Palo Alto builders and developers. All studs, sill stock, firring and fire stops in two new high-rise apartment buildings being erected at a cost of approximately $3 million, are fireprotected wood, produced by the Koppers Company, Ing., at its Wilmington, Calif. plant.

Koppers furnished a total of 28,500 Non-Com studs for Tan Manor, an 8-storyo 90-unit deluxe studio apartment building, and for Tan Plaza, an B-story, 60-unit deluxe building with 2 and 3bedroom apartments.

Faber Tan, partner with his father in the Tan Construction Company, estimates that the in-place cost of the fire'protected wood gtuds is frsm t5 to 20 percent lem than that of the steel studs previously used. Wooden studs, he pointed out, are erected by carpenters, using conventional carpenters' tools with resultant labor saving. Other advantages cited by Tan are better sounddeadening qualities when used in connection with dry-wall, greater ease in hanging "built-ins," and protection of telephone wiring which is sometimes damaged when pulled through holes cut in steel studs.

Fire-protected wood is created by putting the lumber in large air-tight retorts, completely surrounding it with the fire'deterring chemicals and applying air pressure for hours until the chemicals have thoroughly impregnated the wood cells. After treatment, the surface of the wood is dry and clean. When fire threateng NonCom chemicals react as catalyzers, producing carbon and water vapor at temperatures below the ignition point. This repels the spread of fire through or along the surface of the wood.

A series of 13, one-half hour shows titled 'oThe Home Handy' man" are being prepared for educational TV and are being shown in 14 cities throughout the country this fall.

The 13 home project programs are being underwritten by the National Lumber Manufacturer's Association, which expects to reach an audience of upwards of lO-million persons. Other edu' cational TV networks throughout the country can be expected to carry the series which would project the audience to over 70 million persons.

San Francisco is the onlv West Coast citv where the films will be shown.

Educational TV stations do not ellow commercials or advertising material, but at the beginning and end of the show the sponsor's name is flashed on the screen. Lumber and wood product literature will be used in the shows and viewers can request copies of publications ofiered during the show. NLMA technical and consumer publications will be ofiered tb viewers at the end of each show.

The programs will cover the following subjects: Introduction and iraming of interior partitions; framing projects; window installation; paneling a wall; laying a floor; putting up a ceiling; building a room divider; building built-ins and bookcases.

World's Foir Bonus: A Building Showcose

Not all the wonders of the New York World's Fair lie in the shows and displays offered by various exhibitors and pavilions. An Argus-eyed visitor will notice, for example, that the exposition is an immense showcase of an extremely diverse selection of building materials and offers a rare opportunity for viewing them in one place at one time,

Use of Weldwood products from United States Plywood Corporation, alone, demonstrates how varied this product application iswith both interior and exterior materials represented in the selection.

Weldwood Duraply, a siding material, is found on the tower of the Florida Pavilion, on the Chrysler Building, the General Cigar Building and the Monorail among other locations.

Glasweld, asbestos - reinforced building panels with a permanently-colored all mineral surface, has been used on several buildings and is most evident at the Fair's Long Island Railroad terminal where 60-foot canopies shelter passengers from sun or wet weather. A special Glasweld colorWorld's Fair whitewas created for these canopies to match the official white used throughout the Fair. In addition, ticket booths at the Fair terminal are built of

bright red Glasweld panels.

Weldwood Flexwood, real wood veneer on a cloth backing, is featured at the Vati' can Pavilion, the Indonesian Pavilion, the Schaefer Pavilion and in the VIP room at the Electric Power & Light building. Flexwood is specially designed for use on columns and curved surfaces and for areas where building or fire codes limit the use of wood, according to U.S. Plywood.

Several varieties of Weldwood paneling are represented. There are teak ceiling panels in the Indonesian Pavilion, Madagascan ebony panels in the VIP room at the Ford Motor building and narra paneling in the Philippine Pavilion.

Rogue River Lqnd Swop

The U. S. Government will swap 4'170 acres of selected Siskiyou National Forest land with United States Plywood Corporation ior 5,195 acres of company-owned lands along the lower reaches of Oregon's famed Rogue River near Gold Beach.

Completion of the exchange assures continued protection of recreation along various sections of the river between Lobster Creek and Agness, according to J. Herbert Stone, regional for' ster, U. S. Forest Service.

U. S. Plywood Corporation refrained from logging on the offered land in order to preserve the great scenic and recreational values, said Marshall R. Leeper, vice president. The new government land involves 9.6 miles of river bank. The land acquired by U. S. Plywood is away from the river and is primarily valuable for timber growing.

Students Build Model Home

Construction has begun on Ios Angeles Trade.Technical College's eighth model home on the college's campus in downtown Los Angeles.

Scheduled for completion early next year, the 1965 model home follows the trend of modern architectural design. When completed, it will have an unusually beautiful exterior of part stucco and part vertical, tongue and grove redwood siding that will be enhanced by a Dutch gable roof of wood shingles.

The 1965 model, eighth such home to be built at the college solely by the students, will be constructed by members of nuirerous building project classes, including masonry, plastering, lathing, carpentry, cabinet making, tile setting, glazing, painting and decorating electrical, air conditioning, sheet metal, and heating.

Desigrr and construction of the home is done entirely by the students. The college's project instructors as well as the Los Angeles City Building Code inspectors must certify that the home meets all city code standards.

Following completion of construction next spring, the home will be officially opened for several weeks of public showings. It will be sold at a public auction in June of 1965.

Remodeling Increqses

Remodeling continues to be "big business" according to figures recendy released by the Department of ,Commerce. Expenditures in 1963 by owner-occupants of single residences increased 12 per cent over 1962.

While accounting for only five percent of the total number of jobs, those on which the owner spent $500 or more accounted for approximately 50 per cent of the total spent.

New Distribution Method ls Planned

Something new in the distri'bution of forest products made its debut in September. According to its principals, Gene D. Ward, Inc. will soon be able to ship mixed cars of all types of wood products direct to dealers anywhere in the country within 48 hours of receipt of the order.

According to Gene D. Ward, for many years a major lumber buyer for a number of midwestern line yards, the new operation was brought about,because o{ the trend toward specialization on the part of more and more lum'ber mills in the Pacific Northwest.

"Specialization has made it extremely difficult to move cars from mill to mill in order to make up the car according to order," Ward says. "And, of course, the result is usually a very high-priced car."

The new operation, however, will buy from any and all mills by straight cars and sort in transit at a gigantic warehouse in Spokane, Washington. According to its projected figures accumulated over an eight-year period, the new company will be able to provide 48-hour service once the warehouse is supplied with initial inventories and will be able to ofier attractive

prices not readily available under present conditions.

Sales manager of the new firm is Jim Gill, who, for the past six years, has been lurnber buyer for the Wickes Corporation in Medford, Oregon. Prior to his asso' ciation with Wickes, Gill spent six years in the sales department of the Long-Bell Division of International Paper Company. Following his graduation from Iowa State University in 1950, Gill spent two years with the J. Neils Lumber Company where he acquired his mill experience.

According to Ward, the company is purchasing in large quantities now and expects to have its basic inventories in stock by December l. The inventory will include virtually all forest products ranging from kiln dried dimension to building specialty products.

GIANT WAREHOUSE

The Spokane warehouse is 600 feet long and 200 feet wide. Three sets of railroad tracks run the length of the building to provide maximum efficiency in loading and unloading materials. The very latest materials handling equipment is used throughout the operation.

Highly sophisticated communications equipment for processing orders and for continuing inventory control operates between the warehouse and the headquarters of the firm at 7001 Seaview Avenue N.W. ir.r lSeattle.

The stock-in-trade of the new company will be speed of delivery. With its ability to put a badly mixed car together quickly, this company will have great value to the individual lumber yard in two important ways. First, the yard will no longer have to carry top-heavy inventories in its own yard because it will be able to fill its needs quickly. Secondly, it will no longer have to place its orders far in advance because most orders can be filled and shipped as soon as they are received.

c/o California Lumber Merchant

Dear Jack,

We have all enjoyed reading youl article "A Lumberman's Look at Russia" (CLM, SePt.)We found your excerPts most enlightening and it did give us some heart that we are headed in the right direction in our millwork operation. While I was in Italy two Years ago I, too, noticed some of the millwork distribution in action.

While driving along the road I passed a small millwork shoP -- actually nothing more than an overgrown garage. From this "factory" an elderlY man was pulling three window units on a iittle kid's cart. The cart had wooden wheels.

I presume this is similar to the Mcrgan Millwork, Morgan Sash & Door and Carlow Company distribution sYstem although I made no formal cornparison.

Yours very trulY, Henry H. KimberlY, Jr. Vice President Morgan CompanY Oshkosh, Wisconsin

the first office building entirely of redwood construction in northern California.

In 1960, Hobbs W'all began operating its own fleet of diesel truck-and-trailer units to augment common carrier shipping.

In January 1962, Hobbs Wall took two fundamental steps. The firm that had specialized in redwood for so long-and so successfullyexpanded its coverage to general lumber sales to include fir, pine, cedar, hemlock and spruce.

And, with a view to perpetuation, Hobbs Wall turned its active management over to 'oyounger blood" by selling interests to

two well-qualified working executives: One was William C. Johnson (now executive vice-president) who had handled procurement and sales at Hobbs Wall for the 7 years preceding and had 6 years prior retail and wholesale experience with two other lumber firms. Johnson, a graduate in Forestry at the University of California, had also spent a year in the Oregon State Forestry service.

The other was Michael Coonan (now president) who had been manager of remanufacturine and wholesale distribution at Tarter, Webster and Johnson, with 12 years experience there. Before and after graduating from Stanford University,

Coonan had worked in the Pelican Bay Lumber Company sawmill at Klamath Falls.

In adfition to Coonan and Johnson, the directors of Hobbs Wall Lumber Co., Inc. are Godard, Bell and William T. Doyle. The seasoned sales stafi includes Larry Hansen, Walt Hjort, Hal Rolff, John Polach, Don Muller (who manages the Los Angeles office) and John Vertin.

With its redwood sales strong as ever, plus a sizable volume in other species developed in the past 2 and one-half years, the outlook appears bright indeed as Hobbs Wall celebrates its l00th anniversary in the Iumber business.

New Truss lVlonufqcluring Prccess

Clary's Construction Automation Division has announced the introduction of what is claimed to be the first "Standardized Truss Manufacturing Process.t' Called the MasterCraft Method, company officials say it reduces skill requirements, reduces plate cost by approximately 10Vo, reduces per truss production time, and helps relieve the truss manufacturer's dependency on plate companies for engineering service.

Major working ingredients are copyrighted specifications that give set-up instructions for the equipment which produees precise member angles and lengths for cornmon truss types, pitches and spans a selective combination of Clary Flexible Automation Equipment to cut, convey and assemble plant layout, personnel training, and follow-up engineering: services.

Company officials say you can own or lease an entire package for approximately $15.50 per day, figuring 21 working days per month over 3 years, including financing charges. This figures a little less than $2.00 per hour on an 8-hour day. Clary executives say the Master-Craft Method, termed "futuristic" in winning an industrywide "better ways to build" contest two years ag:o, represents a significant breakthrough in bringing modern, scientific cost and qualiW control to truss manufaeturing.

New System Represents Significant Breakthrough in Truss Manufacturing

Wood Beqm Suspended Ceiling

Wood Beam, a new type of susPended ceiling system with the look of ,an authentic open beamed ceiling, has been announced by the Armstrong Cork Co.

In the Wood Beam System, the exposed beams are actually an integral part of t}le gl:ld system supporting the ceiling panels. This eliminates the need for "snap-on" ceiling beam attachments which require additional installation time and extra expense.

Made from heavy gauge steel, the beams are lithographed with a realistic natural wood grain and extend 2" below the surface of the ceiling.

The Wood Beam suspension members are available in 12' main runners and 4' cross tees which can tre installed in various combinations to create unique, custom ceiling designs. White cross tees in both 2' and 4' length and a wall molding in matching white can be used in combination with the Wood Beam elements.

According to J. O. Sampson, manag'er of lumber dealer sales for Armstrong, consumers have been buying suspended ceilings primarily for their practieal advantages: immediate access to utilities above the ceiling, fast installation, recessed lighting through luminous panels. The added decorative appeal of the open beam design should provide another inducement for customers to purchase suspended ceilings.

Consolidated Paint & Varnish Corp., Cleveland, Ohio, announces a complete program of five maintenance products for sealing and repairing blacktop surfaces designed for industrial, commercial and institutional use. These products are:

Greeskuta dry powder which cuts grease and oil slick quickly and easily.

Kold Seala rubberized elastic sealing compound in emulsion form for filling cracks and expansion joints. It is poured cold just as it comes from the container. It furnishes an elastic filler that "gives,', with expansion or contraction or under heavy Ioads, thus sealing out dirt, water and air.

Pave-Oa patching material for chuck holes that is easily applied by unskilled labor on wet, cold surfaces in any weather. Pave-O is merely shoveled into the hole and is then tamped down.

Means Complete Red,wood" Seraice

Attractive, Profitable Counter Display Pak (D-100) has been designed to become an attractive addition to a dealer's free counter sales center-simply by removing it from its carton.

Emphasis of the Wood Finising Center and the billboard text is on the unique 5-in-1 properties of Watco Danish Oil Finishwhich primes, seals, finishes, preserves and hardens in a single process.

The original deep penetrating oil has the unique ability to seep down into the pores of any dornestic or exotic wood-and then "polymerize" or change from a liquid to a permanent solid. This makes the wood 2E7o harder-extending its life and grain and color characteristics indefinitely.

The Wood Finishing Center includes gal!9n, quart, pint and half-pint sampleJ of Watco Danish Oil Finish, Watco Saiin Oil, and Watco Satin Wax (both dark and natural) for fine furniture, paneling, cabinets, doors, interior woodwork and numerous other applications.

-The Walco Display Pak has a total ship- ping weight of 55 pounds and is available to dealers at a total cost of $56,25. accord- ing to Lewis Dietrich, vice president and sales manager of Watco-Dennis Corp.

Dietrich described the Wood Finishing Center as "an unusual sales tool which, combines versatility with simplicity and attractiveness of design.',

Black Kote-does the same job as Petroseal but does not protect against gasoline spillage. It is a gilsonite base sealer which dries quickly to a jet black gloss finish and, like Petroseal, is easy to apply by brush, squeegee, or spray.

Window Cleoner lodder

A unique aluminum ladder-The Window Cleaner-has been developed for jobs that require both height and mobilitY.

The ladder can be used to reach virtually any height, but breaks down quickly and easily into six-foot sections.

The Window Cleaner utilizes a dowel-ingroove method of fitting the ladder sections tightly together. All rails are grooved, top and bottom. The rails at the top of each section slide snugly inside the rails at the bottom of the next section. The grooves in the rails grip the rung.

Huge 5 x l6-foot Plywood Panels

The result is a fitting that can be ta.ken apart quickly, yet provides rigidity comparable to that of a single-unit ladder.

Several pieces of the tongue-and-gtooved materiel ere left out on the bundles so that customers can see how easy it is to fit the pieces together. Also, this enables the customer to smell the pleasant cedar fragTance.
