Whiring.Meqd Builders' tlqrket Storts New Reloil Brqnch in El Coion

San Diego.-Construction was underway last month on a new retail branch of the Whiting-Mead Builders' Market at 444 F-letcher Parkway in El Cajon, Calif. It is planned to eventually become the main distribution point for the firm's four other stores and yards. Officials said the 6,000-sq. ft. lumber and building materials facility should be ready to open shortly after January 1.

Initial construction plans called for a one-story building, with a 4,500-sq. ft. warehouse to be added later. Parking space for about 100 cars is being provided. The branch, which will replace the store now located at the northeast corrrer of West Main and Chambers street, will emphasize self-service trade.

It will be fully equipped to accommodate do-it-yourselfers, contractor sales, general retail and home-improvement trade, and will offer complete packages to home builders. Whiting-Mead executives said the latest in retail lumberyard ideas are being incorporated in planning the new El Cajon site and store. Research into methods, materials and equipment to increase customer convenience will be reflected in the new self-service store arrangement.

Preferred Theatres, Inc., which operates a theatre east of the present Whiting-Mead yard at 412 W. Main in El Cajon, recently purchased the lumberyard site but announced no plans for its immediate use.

Undoubtedly the surest way to create a "recession" is to start talking about the possibility of having one. It is loose talk, not economic conditions, that starts depressions.

Much too much talk on that silly subject has been done during the presidential election campaign. History proves

beyond a doubt that depressed business conditions generally come from wagging tongues. ***

There is a little rhyme that goes: We don't know what the bankers say, But times are getting tighter; We got it from the garbage man, That cans are getting lighter. ***

And garbage men are about as good authority as the hard times or recession talk that comes along can usually claim.

Two theatrical critics walked side by side from the theatre after viewing the opening of a new play. Said one: "It stinks." Replied the other: "I don't think it's that good"t rN. *. t€

There is a famous old-time adage that said: "It isn't luck -it's pluck; it isn't inspiration-it's perspiration; and genius is only a fancy name for hard work."

And there is a Chinese proverb that goes like this: "If you would be happy for three hours-get drunk; if you would be happy for three days-kill and eat a pig; if you would be happy for three months-get married; but if you would be happy for the rest of your life-become a gardener."
