Those Wedges

Said the salesman to the millman In a sort of eager way, "Have you got some scraps of lumber I could buy from you today?"

Said the millman to the salesman, "Sure, we got some odds and ends, Long and short ones, thick and thin ones, And we give 'em to our friends."

Said the salesman to the millman, "Wife and I are homey folk; Like to watch a back log burning, Like the smell of good wood smoke. f am well supplied with back logs, So it's kindling that I need. Can I get a load of stuff today?"

Said the millman, "Yes, indeed."

So the salesman drove his trailer To the yard just as directed, And a pile of sure enough right stuff, His eagle eyes detected. So, he loaded up the trailer And prepared to drive away, When he heard a yard hand yelling, "'What th' heck there ! Hey you, hey !"

Said the salesman to the yard hand, "Is the bloomin' yard on fire ?"

Said the yard hand to the salesman, And his tones betokened ire; "Just unload them miner's wedges, Who now do you think you are? 'We've been turnin' out that order For the boys at Empire-Star."

So the salesman dumped the wedges In a baffled sort of way, Then loading up with odds and ends, He swiftly drove away.

Now whenever miners' wedges Come within his line of view, That salesman blushes hotly, Same as you or I would do. -A.

West Coast Screen Co. Installs New Machinery

A new door sticker, revolutionary in several respects, with cutting heads turning a 10,000 r.p.fi., has recently been installed by West Coast Screen Co., Los Angeles. One of the large eastern machinery manufacturers collaborated with West Coast Screen Co. in designing this machine which incorporates several of the ideas of F. G. Hanson, and is the only one of its kind in the country. These ideas include plowing for panels and the wire grooves, making for better quality and economy in the manufacture of the Hollywood Door.

Mr. Hanson returned October 14 from a seven weeks' business trip in the course of which he spent two weeks in New York, 10 days in Chicago and visited Washington, D. C., Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston and many other cities.

In line with the company's policy of having a factory that is not excelled by any other in the United States in the matter of modern equipment Mr. Ifanson purchased a new electric double-end tenoner and other machinery while in the East.

There has been a steady increase in eastern sales of the Hollywood Door over an ever widening territory, Mr. Hanson feports.
