A complete line of 8 new high-strength fiberglass ladders engineered for ease of handling and maximum safety in electrical areas is now being introduced by the manufacturers, R. D. 'Werner Co., Inc. of Greenville, Pa.

Four single ladders lO, 12,14 and 16-ft. lengths and four double-section extension ladders 20, 24,28 and 32-ft. comprise R. D. 'W'erner's new "7500 Series." Designed to meet ASA safety code A-L4,2, Werner's new non-conducting solid fiberglass C-channel side rails permit the safe use of these ladders in areas where electrical hazards exist.

Ruggedly built with high-strength heattreated aluminum rungs, these ladders have bright-orange fiberglass side rails, easy to see for extra safety. Each ladder will resist 75,000 volts before arcing between rungs 12', apart and 150,000 volts between tungs 24" apart. It will also resist chemicals, fumes, gases, acids and moisture.

The C-channel design of its fiberglass side rails also provides maximum torsional rigidity and minimum deflection. This is made even more rigid with the serrated, slip resistant mngs swaged to the aluminum rung plates using Werner's patented Alflo@ process. These rung places are securely fastened to the non-conductive side rails with high-strength aluminum rivets. Complete information and prices on Werner's new 7500 Series is available by writing to R. D. Werner Co., Inc., P.O. Box 680, Greenville, Pa., or by contacting any full service wholesaler canying the Werner line of fiberglass or aluminum ladders and

J-M's GRANADA TERRAFTEX

Mock Trucks, Inc. Shows New, Heovy Duty Model

Mack Trucks, Inc., has developed a new heavy-duty truck model with a foreshortened hood and a raised cab which, it says, combines for the first time the best features of both the conventional and cabforrrard type trucks.

The C series was designed especially to permit truck operators to take full advantage of present-day load and length limits.

"Thisvehicle is tmlya tnrckman's truck," G. W. Brooks, V.P.-Marketing stated. "The foreshortened hood and raised cab permit a full range of powerplant choices, and enable the hauling of 40-foot square-nosed trailers within the 50-foot overall length limit prevailing in many states."

All this has been accomplished in the C model, Brooks explained, by mounting the cab higher above the frame, and moving the cab forward, partially over the engine. This has resulted in a roomier cab, a larger engine compartment to handle higher horse-power engines, and at the same time has enabled the bumper-to-backof-cab dimension to be held to only 89 inches.

Turning to the castles of Spain for inspiration, Johns-Manville has created Granada, a subtle pasteltoned vinyl-asbestos floor tile.

This newest addition to the Terraflex line is available in soft variegated tones ranging from beige through tan, gray and green. There-ari eight cofors in alf and the tiles measure 9"x9"xl/16".

J-M also is offering a free display folder that teatures a color photo of the Granada room settine. shown above, fuli color illustrations of the tile. ant one full-size tile.

The flared frame, widened at the front, and the cab mounting position of the C model, giving more engine room, permit installation of every diesel engine manufactured by Mack, including the new 255 horseporver V-8 diesel.

Ready access to the engine is provided by a fold-away fender desigrr used on both front fenders. Bolted at the rear and hinged at the front, the fenders of the C model swing wide open for full exposure of the powerplant.

The raised cab enables the average size driver to see as close as 13 feet, 8 inches in front instead of an approximate 20-foot limit in most conventional truck models. Driver vision is further enhanced by a generous two-piece windshield of. 922 square inches and a sloping hood line. The roomy cab provides more than normal front-toback space and headroom enough to permit the seats to be placed at true chair height of 19 inches. A split steering column provides more comfortable foot room.

Despite the larger cab C model, its weight is approximately the same as previous 89inch Mack tractors.

A 12-volt starting system is standard on all C model units except those powered with the Mack V-8 diesel.

A standard feature of the C model includes a 1,000 square inch cast radiator which provides the necessary cooling capacity for any size engine. Top and bottom

Gentlemen:

Sincerely yours, B. L. Sakai, Manager, K. Sakai & Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan.

Dear Ole May:

A note to "Thank You" for renewing my subscription to the Lumber Merchant. I received my copy yesterday.

We bought a home at Sebastopol and like it very much. It is constructed of solid 2X4's standing on end, and I believe there are more than a thousand boards in it. It is quite different to say the least. lVe have Y+ of an acre, So far there are only three apple trees on it, but Gil plans on being a farmer (on a small scale of course.) later. We have a lovely view of all the hills around us. This is very pretty country all around here.

IV'e sure miss all the Hoo-HooEttes and Hoo-Hoo's, also our many friends, but do not miss the traffic and "smog," Santa Rosa is only 7 miles away and the coast is 16. We are near Bodega Bay, where Alf red Hitchcock's picture "The Birds" was filmed.

Luther Burbank'swords about this country were "I firmly believe from what I have seen that this (The Redwood Empire) is the chosen spot of all the earth as far as nature is concerned."

We both enjoy the California Lumber Merchant and keep it coming. Best of everything to you and your fine staff.

Sincerely yours, Sallye Biasell

In the forests of coastal British Columbia, the giant Red Cedar often survives centuries of time, wind and weather. Little wonder, then, that lumber cut from this naturally timeless wood will beautify and protect homes in the most severe climates for decades more.
