The National Retail Lumber Dealers Asosciation has appointed a permanent Materials Handling committee whose objectives are to improve mechanical handling methods for all retail dealers. Several months ago the writer joined the staff of the NRLDA to coordinate materials handling activities and help develop better materials handling. The National Lumber Manufacturers Association has also appointed a Materials Handling committee and has appropriated a large sum of money for a research program designed to develop better lumber shipping methods. The Gypsum Association has been working on improving materials handling methods and shipping of its member's products, and the Industrial Bag and Cover Association has appointed a committee to study ways and means of being of assistance to our industry.

Other of our industry's national associations will undoubtedly take similar steps soon. .On a national Ievel we are getting together; we should do it on a local and individual level. We all have a big job and the net results to you, the retail dealers, will be profitable.

"We need to get together." Our job can be greatly shortened and you will sooner realize profits from our work if you will pass along your ideas and methods, permitting us to publicize those we feel will be of value to others. Send details and pictures of your methods to the editor of this publication, and he will pass them along to us.

Due to the pressure of coordinating the materials handling activities at the forthcoming NRLDA Exposition in Chicago, which will include demonstrations of the latest in equipment and methods, we may be a little slow in acknowledging your ideas but you will hear from ns. .LET'S

GET TOGETHER.''
