Arcodiq Lumber Compony's 1956 Foll Woodworking Closs Sells Plenty Power Tools, Aids Trode in BH&G Contest

The Arcadia (Calif.) Lumber Company is winding up another successful series of customer instruction classes this fall. The 1956 school for do-it-yourselfers at this leading Southern California retail yard was built around woodworking and, according to Andy Beckstrom, Jr., co-owner of the yard, they have learned that woodworking classes can sell lots of power tools.

The enrollment at the Arcadia yard's school this season numbered 23 adults. Classes began in September and extend over six weeks. They are held in the store of the retail yard, reported Roy Davidson, yard superintendent.

The Beckstroms, far-sighted local lumbermen, have been staging these classes for their shoulder trade during the spring and fall months for several years now, under the guidance of A. J. Swyke, instructor. The next classes rvill be held in the spring of 1957.

f nstruction is supplemented by sound movies which give step-by-step information on all phases of woodrvorking, and the yard's regular customers and welcome guests are given a foundation in power woodworking for do-ityourself hints on built-ins, shelves, floors, partitions and furnishings. Many of those enrolled in the Arcadia Lum- ber Company's 1956 Fall class pointed out their interest in the $25,000 Better Homes & Gardens Magazine's home improvement contest.
