Watsonville Yard Rebuilt and Remodeled

The yard of the Watsonville Lumber Company, Watsonville, Calif., purchased in May of this year by Earle E. Johnson, well known Northern California retail lumberman, has been completely rebuilt and remodeled, and now ranks as an entirely up-to-date lumber and building material store.

The new shed with a frontage ol 76 leet on West Lake Avenue, and a depth of 8O feet, houses the office and display room, and was so constructed that customers' trucks can be loaded from both sides, quickly and efficiently. The shed is built on concrete piers to give proper air circulation.

Douglas Fir panels are used in finishing the walls of the office and display room, and Celotex Insulating Board is used for the ceiling. The private office is finished in knotty Pine.

This yard carries a full line of bullder's hardware, also a full line of W. P. Fuller & Company's paints.

On display also are screen doors, ironing boards, medicine cabinets, panels, etc.

The sash and door room is lighted entirely by artificial light, so that no chance wrll be taken of light-staining doors or panels. This room is 16 feet by 32 feet, and is well stocked with sash, doors, softwood and hardwood panels.

Building material lines stocked include Pioneer-Flintkote roofing, California Wire Cloth Company's stucco net- ting, Celotex Utrlity Board, 1/r" Insulating Board and Hardboard.

The yard carries a well-balanced stock of Douglas Fir, Ponderosa and Sugar Pine and Redwood lumber, Fir wall board, and specializes in the sale of Redwood shingles. Al[ lumber piles are on concrete piers.

Harry Hope, formerly manag'er of Mr. Johnson's Pleasanton yard, is yard foreman.

Ponderosa

Earle Johnson, proprietor of this concern, was born in Texas and gained his first lumber experlence when he went to work as bookkeeper for the Forest Lumber Company at Kimball, Nebraska. His first job in California was as manager of Sunset Lumber Company's yard at Concord in 1919. Later he managed the Hayward yard, and the.n became associated lvith the Tilden Lumber & Mill Company. He went to Livermore in 1927, purchased the Independent Lumber Company there, and afterwards opened a yard at Pleasanton. He sold both these yards in 1935 and was for some time connected with C. L G;lbert, Eureka Mill & Lumber Company, in Oakland, until he bought the Watsonville yard last May.

While at Livermore Earle was closely identified with the success of the famous Livermore Rodeo from year to year as a prominent member of the Rodeo committee. Duringing this period he was also a faithful member and director of the East Bay Hoo Hoo Club, and is a past president of that organization.

The Howe of Wood

When a lumberman builds a wood house, as the term is generally understood, it can hardly be called news, but when a lumberman builds an all-wood house of quality such as the one recently built and sponsored by the Jones Hardwood Company of San Francisco for Mr. and Mrs. Nelson E. Jones, at D3O Hillside Drive, Burlingame, Calif., is is certainly NEWS.

The story of the attractively designed all-wood house has been well told in a profusely illustrated folder by the Jones Hardwood Company.

The all-wood house, designed by Donnell E. Jaeckle, architect, of San Francisco, should have the effect of suggesting new possibilities to prospective home builders in the greater use of wood for interior decoration and for exteriors.

The construction outline follows in part:

The frame construction is of Douglas Fir with Redwood sills.

Redwood rustic, Monterey shakes .and five-ply waterproof Fir plywood were used on the exterior.

Hardwoods were used for the interior walls throughout, with Birch trim in kitchen and service portion5 of house.

In the living room and dining room Walnut plywood and mouldings are used, with Teak plank floors and Nu-Wood ceilings.

Pearlwood paneling. Philippine Mahogany mouldings and Teakwood floors are used in the breakfast room.

Master bedroom: Birch plank walls, I'x8" T & G "V" Birch trim, silver tone finish, herringbone Oak floor, NuWood ceiling.

Guest bedroom: Philippine Mahogany trim with Magnolia band to meet head casing, block pattern Oak floor, Nu-Wood ceiling.

Son's bedroom: Art-ply ceiling and walls, Philippine Mahogany mouldings and doors.

He Returned The Income Tax Blank To The Government And Said

U. S. Treasury Department, Washington, D. C.

Dear Secretary:

The enclosed form, on which I am asked to make a report of my income for the last fiscal year, is returned to you with my respects and deepest appreciation for this subtle form of fattery. I am particularly impressed by its resurrections of old forms and figures of English speech such as "iompensation from outside sourcesr" "net profit receivedr" "income from rentsr" "interest on bank deposits, etc."

One question I got a great laugh out of was, "Were you during the taxable period supporting in your household one or more persons closely related to you?" Boy, that's a honey.

Say, Mr. Secretary, you would be surprised. There are so many persons closely related to me staying at my house that I am what you would call surrounded. Only the other day three more distant corrsins of my wife's blep in, making a new high for the moment, and one of them brought a friend.

For the last four years my house has been full of strangers, all claiming to be my cousins or aunts or something. I can't identify half of them, and what burned me up was when my wife's Uncle Jerry, who had been living with us a year, slapped.me on the back the other day and asked, "Flaven't I seen you some place before?"

The blank says it will allow me $400 for each dependent relative and I would say the Government is overpricing them, as I would trade the entire lot for $11.00, and throw in a pair of bicycle pants and a magic lantern. (Two of my wife's aunts you can have for the asking.)

Ileigh-ho and lackaday. The blank also asks me to "describe your business as provided in Item 2," and,I am glad to'answer, "Lousy, Mr. Secretary." And it asks me to "Enter on Line I of Schedule A my total receipts for 1933." I wish you would stop joking, Mr. Secretary. Fun is fun, but enough is enough, and you can carry anything too far.

Then you say something about an allowance for "obsolescence, depreciation and depletion." That's where I come in. As an American business man, I am a study in obsolescence. I am depleted, deflated, depressed, denatured, denounced, deranged and dejected. And so,is my old man. Yours in a barrel,

HE CAN'T LOSE

An Oriehtal shopkeeper, being in great financial trouble, went to a specialist in burglary and arson.

"Would you like to have a fire?" he was asked.

"No," he replied. "I prefer a burglary. In the first place it is cleaner. In the second placg if the insurance company won't pay, you've still got your goods."

Not Reallvt

"Miss Alice ain't home," said the colored maid. "She's gone down to de class."

"What class?" asked the caller.

"Miss Alice she's fixin' to git married, you knowr" said the maid, "an' she's takin' lessons in domestic silence."

Valley Viewpoint

A traveler groped through the dismal forest mazeTo seek the rising sunAnd scaled the intervening hill. The haze Was shredded then, and spun To silver ribbons. He stood upon this height

And found the power to raise his arms toward light.

Another traveler also sought the dawn.

He saw the rocky crest

And, pausing near its base, with sigh and yawn

Composed himself to rest.

He saw the other greet the light and laughed:

"The sun's not yet above the hill ! He's daft !"
