From South Dakota comes a report of Masonite-siding jobs being unaffected by hafl stones "as big as baseballs" in a storm damaging 3300 nomes.

Adequately painted with linseed-oil-base house paint, Masonite siding will retain its original beauty indefinitely, resisting the ravages of weather. This remarkable weatherability of Masonite sidings is the reason architects and builders continue to choose it time and again.

Weyerhaeuser Develops New Weytex Styles

Making even more complete the. variety of surface treatments available to rbuilders in the Weyerhaeuser line of hardboards, the company has announced new striated and grooved styles for exterior and interior use. A U-Grooved pattern has been developed for both the smooth and the new finecombed, striated tempered Wey- tex, creating striking vertical efiects in siding, patio paneling, and other applications calling for all-weather beauty outdoors.

Completing the new additions to the line are Weytone prefinished hardboards in both ternpdred and standard types. The new Weytone hardboards are finished to a deep-lustre sheen that needs no further surface treatment for use as wall Paneling, cabinetwork or other highquality application. Illustrated specification sheets on sizes, thicknesses and suggested uses are available on request from Silvatek Division, V/eyerhaeuser Timber Cornpany, TacomC l, Washington.

Installation is a matter of minutes. There are no interlocking pieces to adjust. The strip comes in a standard pack with each length already mitred on one end.

Another firm specializing in weatherstripping of interior doors in commercial and industrial buildings, states that in oue year the weatherstripping can save enough money in cleaning bills alone to pay ,for itself. This is con6rmed by the maintenance superintendent of a large San lirancisco building, with a maintenance crew of 32, who states that it has reduced his dusting labor by more than 25/o.

TREE LIFE HEMLOCK AVAILABLE WITH WATER-REPELLANT PRESERVATIVE

Tree Life hemlock, manufactured by St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., is now available treated with a special penetrating toxic water-repellent preservative, announces W. R. Garnett, general sales manager of the pioneer lumber firm. The new immersion treatment, according to Garnett, assures superior paint retention and dimensional stability for all applications exposed to weather or excess moisture. Typical uses for which the new Tree Life Treated lumber is recommended include all siding and exterior trim, framing, joists, and subflooring over crawl spaces.

The treating process used by St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., stabilizes the wood fibers b1* coating the cells with a material that efiectively resists water penetration. Penta repels or destroys mold or decay forming fungi, stains and insects. The material is not recommended. however, for uses where decay hazard. is high, such as wood in direct contact with the ground which requires pressure treatment for proper decay resistance. For more information about the new Tree Life Treated or untreated hemlock lumber, write St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Co., Tacoma 1, Washington.

A new weatherstrip-unobtrusive, tough, and so efficient that it stops sounds, drafts, leaks, light and dust at both exterior and interior openings-has been developed by Pemko Manufacturing Company, Emeryville, California. It consists of a strip of aluminum alloy with a vinyl insert having four soft continuous ridges each of which molds itself to the door to provide excellent multiple insulative action.

The aluminum alloy takes paint well, according to Pemko, and may be pre-painted to the jamb color so that it is almost unnoticeable when installed. The pre-painting also permits the door to be used at once. The vinyl does not become soft nor sticky, as rubber frequently does, and it is too tough to "be picked at." Richard Emory, Pemko salesmanager, states that the new product should last as long

E,arle Hanselman, LuVerne, Iowa, farmer, has developed a unique building idea to help cut his chore time around the farmstead. The idea works so well, he was awarded one of the top prizes in a farm building iml)r'ovcment conlest recently conducted by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association and Farm Journal Magazine.

A clever arrangement of three augers and several wooden storage bins does the complete job of moving feed into a handling building, mixing any formula desired, and then moving the feed out into a self-unloading wagon. It's completely automatic. No need to touch a scoop shovel at all. There are four grain bins in the 29' by 30' building. Each end bin holds 500 bushels of shelled corn. Each of the other two bins hold either six tons of bulk supplement or 250 bushels of oats; several weeks' supply when cattle are on full feed. Floor space opposite the bins provides storage for any bagged commercial feeds or supplements. These can be dumped easily into the floor auger in front of the bulk bins.

The building cost llanselman about $2,300, including labor. It's made of standard building lumber with clapboard siding. The wooden bin floors slope two feet from back to front so that feed flows easily. The auger system costs $535, with Hanselman doing his own welding. The augers cost $232; two electric motors, $288; and two used auto transmissions. $15. A three-horse motor drives the lower horizontal and vertical augers, with a onehorse unit handling the overhead auger. Horizontal augers are six inches in diameter and the vertical auger, 12 inches.

A long-needed selector chart for those who wish to write or make marks on almost every type of industrial material has just been created by the Joseph Dixon Crucible Co., and is available free on request. The chart shows at a glance the proper type of marker (crayon, chalk, or industrial pencil) to use on metals, woods, concrete, plaster, stone, rock, tile, macadam, asphalt, paper, paperboard, cardboard, glass, plastics, etc. The chart also indicates which marker to use when the material is hot, normal, cool or cold; slick or shiny; dry, damp, wet or immersed; smooth or rough; laminated, coated or glazed, and rigid or flexible. There are also selections for heavy duty and light duty markers. For quick selection, one side of the chart lists the types of materials and their condition, with code numbers indicated. The other side indicates which type of marker to use, as indicated by the code nurnber.

Both the selector chart and a new, six-page catalogue which lists and illustrates the company's full line of industrial markers are available free by writing Dept. CSC, Joseph Dixon Crucible Co., Jersey ,City 3, N. J.
