is Builded on Service When you are in need of legal advice you visit a competent attorney. When sick you consult the dependable family physician. These and many other professional and business firms have educated you to be dependent upon them for advice, assistance and service.

Do folks living in your trade territory come to you for building information or do they go to contractors?

Have you equipped your business to properly serve them?

Are they acquainted with the fact that you have pictures, plans, and are prepared to show and tell them how and what they can build for a certain arrrount of money?

I stood in the mighty store of Marshall Field the other day and watched the throngs filling the aisles, milling in a solid mass, and I wondered why they came, what brought them?

Th"y were of all ages and all classes, silk rubbing against gingham, spats keeping step with boots, all drawn there by what force?

I thought of fairs, and exhibits, and expositions of many kinds, all spending hundreds and thousands of dollars in publicity in attempts to draw such crowds, and many of them playing to empty houses, What mighty power brought the crowds to Field's where they could but spend money?

Then, if I can frame it in words, came the answer: The Probability of Profit!

Those people are convinced that by buying at Field's they will just a little more surely, in just a little higher percentage of occasions, make a profit on what they buy.

HDE manufactures hardwood lumber in a different way than any other mill, and by that difference feel that here too you can be assured of the Probability of Profit.

How Lumber Looks With the dealers in their usual, "jurt-before-thc-first" frame of mind, the prerent duggirhnec of the whole market h not particularly rtranga California never witneoes active buying for the lart thirtv or fo'rty-five dayr of the year and thir year ir no exception From all reports, rtockr are on an average of about 6O7o normal, and the buitding conditionr and acivitiee throughout the rtate would predict a larger volurne, for the mill men, right after New Year'r Day, and for several weekr thereafter.

In fact, the word har been pared, numleroua times, that the firrt of the year would ree the break, both for the retail man and the wholecaler, more volurne, better pricer, and a g€neral better time. It ia to be hoped.

Shipments into Soutbern California have been steady throughout the montt, well balanced ehipmentr end the bulk of it rtockr that have been moving at a regular rate, from the ports.

The buildins pernrite hold up well, and while they will break no records, the totale are ar high as could be expected

for this time of the year. ^A telegram from San Francirco, on the morning of the 28th, reportr: "Thc Fir Cergo Market har shoryn littlc crhange in the part two weekr, the lame slight wealrneu pre-

vailr. Shipmentr are about normal, fourteen boatr tied up

"The Fir Rail Market is about the rame, volume for November equal to last month. Dealerr looking toward inventory and buying is light. Mill pricer on rail rhipmentr are firb." t'No change in Redwood." "Pine rnarket ir etrong and loolrc good. Good steady demand and pricer are fir'rn."

PRIDE The foundation of the old Guilds was primarily pride, pride of workmanship, pride of reputation and pride of product produced. No man was admitted to full fedged membership as a master wprkman in his respective guild until his knowledge and experience made possible the producing of workmanship which should again bring credit to his guild and thus their pride continued.

We take pride in our California business, our products are manufactured and marketed by men who have served their apprenticeships in the lumber business. We pride ourselves on our product, on our service, and we are proud of the business we are in.

We take pride in seeing the names of the same customers on our books year in and year out. We were doing business with them yesterdayr w€ will be doing business with them tomorrow.

The Nettleton Lumber Company feels that this same pride as existed in the guild system is still in existence today in the manufacture and selling of lumber as it is no doubt in the manufacture and selling of other commodities.

The World Needs Mitchell's Bg Jach Dionne As far as the detailed merits of the case of the Governmenl against Col. Mitchell are concerned, we offer 4o opinion.

Whether or not he violated his obligations as a soldier by attacking his superiors is a point we will not attempt to pass on.

But insofar as the PRINCIPLE of the thing is concerned F'OR THIS MITCHELL PERSON.

WE ARE STRONG

The world owes all of its progress, from the day when Adam Stonehatchet chipped his first weapon of offenFe and defense but of the living rock up to now, to men of the Mitchell type; men who were totally unwilling to keep in the rut, to follow the footsteps of plodders, and to permit themselves to be muzzled when the speaking time came.

If it were not for men of the Mitchell type-progressives-men who cannot be restrained from raring up on their hind legs and speaking the truth out in meeting whether it pleased the powers that be or not-we would still be living in caves, clad in the skins' of wild beasts, and chasing one another around the trees with knotty-headed clubs loaded to scatter.

Only through the Mitchells has the world progressed, have foolish and wornout traditions been disrupted, and shackles been stricken from the minds and the hands of humanity.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth, and it is through the fearlessness of men who won't be held down and cannot be restrained, that the world keeps forging onward.

Moses uras one of that type.. So was Jesus. And Buddha. And Confucius. And Socrates. And Gallileo. And Roger Bacon. And fsaac Newton. And Luther. And Cromwell. And the men who took the Bastille. And George Washington. And Abraham Lincoln. And Columbus. And Robert Ingersoll. And countless others.

Not Iconoclasts ! Not simply men who tear down, but men who destroy in order that we may build to better advantage. Men who have visions of better things for men, and who throw off restraint and assault worn-out, cast-off, erroneous thoughts, and methods, and replace them with better thoughts and better things, in order that mankind may live the more abundantly, and may develop, and grow as God intended that he should.

The first Plan Book Man, whoever he was, was imbued with the same spirit.

Any man who fears not to tear down foolish illusions, or to strike with full thrust at unrighteous conditions, is a friend of mankind, without whose sort of spirit this race would long since have died of dry rot, or something worse.

In some ways this man Mitchell may be wrong, but there is the ring of sincerity in what he says, and there is a fearlessness about his methods that attracts the admiration of the American heart, and the Mitchell episode is going to do our Army and Navy situation a whole lot of good.

We need more Mitchells in all line of endeavor.

Wonderful Hardwood Plant at Los Angeles

That California builders are becoming more and more cognizant of the artistic possibilities offered by the use of hardwoods for interior finishes is evidenced by a report issued recently by Nickey Brosll Memphis, Tenn., covering the progress of their Southern California branch since the completion of their Los Angeles warehouse plant last spring.

The report shows a very satisfactory increase in output through the Los Angeles plant of all forms of hardwoods for interior finish, inlays, veneering, and flooring. Many of the recently completed prominent buildings in Los An-

by the firm in this section is that of the furniture industry rvhich in Los Angeles is rapidly assuming proportions that point to a speedy rivalry of Grand Rapids production. Los Angeles firms in this field are endorsing hardwoods by a steadily increasing adoption of these woods as standard materials.

Nickey Bros., Inc., has been established over fifty years, is owner of vast tracts of hardwood timber in the United States-notably in Mississippi, Arkansas and Northern Louisiana. Several plants and mills in these sections work to capacity in processing the lumber from these tracts.

White Oak, Cherry Bark, Red Oak and Delta Gum, are u'oods particularly specialized in by Nickey Brothers, their "NB Brand" of oak flooring being especially well known in the building trades.

The Los Angeles plant consists of warehouse and kiln accommodations covering approx'imately three acres of ground, located at 642A South Park Avenue, and represents the last word in efficient arrangement and facilities.

All rvoods are classified and placed at the plant to give instant access to contractors whci prefer coming to the yards to make selections. Every kind of hardwood is ready cut into lengths suitable for practically every purpose.

Futher facilities are given to Nickey Bros.' customerp here by the trucking service of the plant which maintains an efficient rapid delivery system.

W. G. Mitchell, district manager in Los Angeles, has

geles and vicinity feature Nickey Bros.' hardwoods in their interior finishes.

A further field of distribution which is.being developed

developed his company into a most efficient orgairization and through his efforts has achieved wide coast distribution for Nickey Brothers products.

CUT INCREASES

Of 48,166 cars shipped during the first nine rnonths this year, 11,422 went to the Atlantic coast states, or 23.82 per cent. Illinois received 4106 cars. Minnesota took 3882 cars and lowa 3527. By comparison, last year in the same period the Atlantic coast states absorbed 10,908 cars, Illinois 3753, Minnesota 3,100 and Iowa 3409, showing large increases in shipments to all these states this year.

Spokane, Washington, Nov. 18.-The cut of members of

the Western Pine Manufacturers' association, comprising Inland Empire mills for the first nine tnonths of 1925 exceeded the cut for the same period of 1924 by 143,591,601 feet or by approximately 11 pir cent, according to informalion received at Spokane from the office of the secretary.

WE SPECIALIZE For 20 years we have stuck to one game"California Cargo."

Our experielce has convinced us that the Hart-Wood System of having at all times a large stock of lumber on hand and in transit best serves the California Retaile,r.

Our reward has been the constant and steady growth of our business.

It used to be the style to have fancy buildings, both exterior and interior. The more scrolled,work, and the more intricate it could be made. the "finer" building it was.

But these "dust catchers" went out with the advent of finely figured veneers for practical purposes.

The heavy old | 2 panel (efiect), solid, has been discarded for the common sense one panel door veneered in Figured Red Gum. Millwork plants of today do not have to.depend upon intricate design for their special jobe. Louieville Figured Red Gum will lend to that job an air of somcthing difierent.

For your inspection a stock of both vencers and plywood is carried in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Hear About Fones There is something decidedly lacking or wrong with the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club and it might possibly help matters to give the thing a little publicity.

In spite of the hard work, the intelligent work and the constructive effort that President Wickersham is giving the Club, aided in every way by his fellow officers and directors, in spite also of the splendid programs that have been prepared, the attendahce at these weekly luncheons is pitiful and is getting smaller each week.

What is wrong, you fellows that are not attending?

The Los Angeles Club has 250 names on its regular weekly mailing list, and of this large number there will be about twenty-five or possibly thirty that will be on hand each week.

This is all wrong. The Hoo Hoo Club was organized for a purpose, it is fulfilling that purpose splendidly and it

needs the support of more members. It should not be neces-

sary to urge men to attend meetings that have been prepared for their education and entertainment, but it seems that it must be done. Each week 'Wick' puts in hours planning the next Thursday's program, then Secretary Jim Chase puts in a few more preparing and mailing the notices, and all of this effort is rewarded by the attendance of possibly two dozen loyal supporters.

The loss is to the fellow who does not attend.

On November 19th, Vice President Cliff Estes presided, in the President's absence, and the meeting was the most interesting that has been held by this club for many days.

Mr. Andrea Nordskog, Chairman of Publicity of Mayor Cryer's "Telephone Committee", and a leader of the fight by the citizens of Los Angeles against the telephone rate increase granted by the Railway Commission to go into

The meeting was attended by representatives of several of the Los Angeles newspapers, pictures were taken and considerable publicity was given the meeting.

FRUIT GROWERS SUPPLY COMPANY GIVES

Mr. Fl B. Birmingham, Reiident Manager of the Fruit Growers Supply Company at Susanville, presided, and was assisted by Mr. Graff.

About fifty men from the Fruit Growers' Supply Company organization were present, and about six from the Laslen Lumber and Box Company. All came ravenously hungry and did full justice to the excellent dinner prepared by the chef of the Story Club.

After the dinner, talks were made by. Edward P. Ivory, Manager of Trade Extension of the California White and Sugar Pine Manufacturing Association, Mr..E. B. Birmingham, Mr. Victor Johnson, Chief Inspector, California White & Sugar Pine Manufacturers Association, Mr. A. E. Johnson, Mr. Horace Sims, and Mr. Irving Dunn, all inbpectors for the California Pine association. Musical entertainment was provided by Mr. Abrahamson, who gave an excellent exhibition of playing on a saw.

E. W. Shaw, Builders' Exchange, Alameda County, in his address of ivelcome said that he wanted to welcome all on behalf his organization and invited them to visit the Exchange Building while they were in the city. He said, "We have a key here to the front door and we guarantee it will open it."

The major points brought out in the report of the Managing Director, H. T. Didesch, vsslq;-f6 actually get going on an advertising campaign, perfect local branch organizations, adopt a uniform Full Mill Bid, in addition to continuing the program of work already under way. Mr. Didesch also recommended mergers between the millmen, suggesting that they specialize on manufacturing certain products, rather than making all items; also, if the millmen would become specialists on manufacturing certain items that it would cut down the cost both for the manufacturer and the cohsumer.

W. Goddard, manager of the Alameda Branch, Oakland, gave an excellent resume of the work accomplished by the Institute since its inception. He urged a closer confidence among the local branches which can best be accomplished through cooperation.

"The Capital Stock Tax" was discussed by Geo. M. Cornwall, Portlahd, Oregon, who stated that the tax was not necessary at this time, was not properly prorated, and rvas unfair to the industry. He offered a resolution asking for a repeal of the tax, which was referred to the Resolutions Committee.

The Committee appointed to bring in the nominations for Directors included J. G. Kennedy, Chairman; George Kaiser, E. J. Nutting, W. J. Glasson, L. R. McKesson, and E. A. Nicholson. The Resolutions Committee appointed included E. R. Maule, Chairman; Jack Hart, Bill Goddard, Geo. Cornwall, J. A. Shepard, and W. F. O'Keeffe.

ing average cost-finding statistics he said, "I am a great believer in the average cost." He also showed the method used at their plant for figuring frame cost. Simplified methods can come from our state offrce that would be

benefitting to our entire membership, he declared.

On "Cost Statistics," Managing Director H. T. Didesch spoke on the results of a questionnaire investigation recently submitted to the Institute members. He stated that the following results rvere based on the reports received from 54 concerns and that the total sales for 1924 was $16 585,204, while the costs. rvhich included material costs, productive labor, and overhead, amounted to $15,398,916, shorving a profit of 91,186,288, or 7.2 per cent over sales. He stated that any organization doing this amount of business should be able to put a system of Standard Practices into ooeration. ,. fn speak:ng oi the System of Uniform Ledger, rvhich he discusses in cletail, Mr. Didesch said that it rvas a very ;i_mple. matter and means a rearranging of costs into groupi.

He said that the Institute sends out an expert accountant who rvill install the system for the millmen. Standard Practices, he stated, simply means doing things the same way, rvhich give a comparison of the diffirent irill.' operations so that a standard system can be r,vorked out.

"A Comment on the Institute Program for Architects', was discussed by Donovan, A.l. A., of Oakland. In -J. J. issued by the referring to the Bulletins Institute, Mr. Donovan stated that the Institute was not only doing a wonderful work for the industry, but also for the architect. He said that the Institute has a great work ahead of them in educating the architect. He stated that one of the hardest parts of a building specification for the architect; is the car_ pentering and mill rvork, and suggested that the Institute shorllcl ha'e a specification bureau rvhich rvill cooperate

f)ecember l, l92S

with the architect on mill work so that a standard can be established. In closing, Mr. Donovan said, if your Institute will delegate a man to my office and write the specification. that specification .ivill be my standard untii such time as the Inititute changes that standard.

C. F. Ricker, Sunset Lumber Co.. Oakland, talked on the "Proper_ Scales for Architects' Drawings." Mr. Ricker read a Service Bulletin issued by the Inltitute on specifications and details which containbd very useful information

to architects on this subject. At the conclusion of his

reading the Bulletin, he said that he favored a resolution by the Institute formulating a plan whereby the Institute could work rvith architects on specifications.

Great Plant of Central Coal and Coke Company at Vernonia OregonSanta Fe Sells Output in

California E. B. Hazen

The man who said "There is nothing new under the sun," died before the Central Coal & Coke Company built its sawmill plant at Vernonia, Oregon. Had he lived to see that plant, he would have died anyway, from sheer wonder-

ment.

Ninety-eight years ago the first sawmill the Pacific Northwest ever saw, was built by Dr. John Mcloughlin, Chief Factor for The Hudson Bay Company. It wai located at Fort Vancouver. It manufactured at top speed, 2,000 feet of lumber in twelve hours.

Now comes The Central Coal & Coke Company, of Kansas City, Mo., versed for a generation in the manufacture of Southern line and Southern Hardwood, and within fffty miles of the spot where Dr. Mcloughlin started the sawmiil game in the Northwest, they have built and are operating a

single sawmill unit that is capable of manufacturing in three minutes the 2,000 feet of lumber that the good Doctor's mill cut every twelve hours.

Who would have expected, even a few short years ago, to see in full and successful operation in the Pacific Northwest, cutting Douglas Fir trees into commercial wood, a sawmill that puts all of its product excepting only its timbers, through steam dry kilns, and piles, and handles, and ships it, entirely under cover?

Yet that is what The Central Coal & Coke Company is doing at its magnificent sawmill institution at Vernonia, Oregonr jqsl a few miles from Portland. There they bought between 2,500,000,000 and 3,000,000,000 feet of -splendid timber, running 92/o of the finest Old Growth Yellow Fir that is to be found in the vast timber standing in Oregon.

The stock being manufactured from these treei is truly- remarkable, i! blilg highly desirable for its soft dense grain and its workability. A very small percentage of theiicutting is Cedar and Hemlock. And there thJv built a most

A. J. Rusself

unusual sawmill institution, which they are operating in a most original way.

A few years ago in the Northrvest they were still doubting the-wisdom of kiln drying Fir. The idea of kiln drying dimension would have been regarded as the utmost fblly-.

But kiln drying has developed marvelously in the past few years, and the Vernonia mill is giving splendid ind convincing proof that it can be done praclicilly and successfully with the two inch as well as the thinner lumber.

The sawmill at Vernonia is built on a Southern, rather than a Western plan, except that the equipment is of course oj the heaviest possible type. A huge log pottd stores the timber, and the logs go up an ordinary bull-chain, where they are "bucked," and delivered to the log decks. There are two heavy Filler & Stowell band headrigs in the mill,

and a huge Wickes Gang that cuts up cants from the head rigs. Two 12 by 84 inch edgers, and a 36 foot trimmer, do

the rest.

But there is tremendous power in the sawing department.

Fourteen inch. shotgun feeds drive the two great carriages, and Martin Air Dogs make it possible for one man to do the work on each carriage. The production power of these two band headrigs thus equipped is enormous.

Thb mill runs two 8 hour shifts every day, and produces in the near neighborhood of 600,000 feet of lumbef daily.

Back of the trimmers there is a remanufacturing department for lumber that is to be cut again, equipped with an

The lumber is always under cover, throughout its r-plocess of manufacture. diying. shedding. and sh'ipping.

The lumber is mechanically stackecl on kiln trucks, an.l

a transfer car takes the stacked trucks to the battery of 28 dry kilns, rvhich are of the internal fan type, designed especially for this plant rvith a vierv to drying all the lumber, both common and upper grades. The advantage to the consumer claimed by this concern is that if the lumber is to degrade in drying, it rvill do all of its degrading at the mill, not after delivery to retailer or tonsumer, and the lumber when shipped is absolutely a finished product, perfectly dried, sized, dressed, and graded. The buyer does no gambling on rvhat his lumber rvill be AFTER it dries.

This dry kilning building is the nervest thing ever done in . Fir manufacturing. The kilns are in a single building, 328 feet by 110 feet, rvith 28 compartments, all similar in design and construction. At one end is the green lumber storage platform, rvhere it r,vaits its turn at the kilns, and at the other end the cooling platform;:,,fioth under roof, and each lrlatform 132 by 328 in size. The kiln building is all of reinforced concrete as to floors, and hollow tile in the side walls. Each of the kilns holds 35,000 feet of inch lumber or 42,000 feet of two inch lumber at a time.

In each kiln there is a long shaft running the length of

December l. 1925

the chamber on which disc fans are mounted at regular intervals. Tl-re shaft is snpported by concrete beams. Otrtside each chamber is an individual motor lvhich fttrnishes the porver for the fans. These fans, through ingenious arrangement of deflection, insure uniform drying conditions inside the chambers.

After more than a year of actual operation, The Central Coal & Coke Company is convinced that this kiln drying system for both inch and tr,vo inch lnmber is a complete and thorough success, and they recommend and guarantee the quality of their lumber in every respect.

A few months ago they began a dignified invasion o{ the California market. Offering for sale kiln dried Fir Dimension, to say nothing of inch stock, rvas something so nerv, that they looked about for a medium of experience, strength, and ability, through which to sell the California trade, and they finally arranged a deal with A. J. Russell, by which The Santa Fe Lumber Company became exclusive rail sales agents for Vernonia stock in the State of California and Arizona. Mr. Russell made several visits to the Vernonia mill. acquainted himself at close range with their stock, and their ability to supply the California trade, and then through his fine sales force he began offering "4C" Kiln Dried Fir to the lumber trade of California.

Each car that was delivered excited interest, rvas given close attention, and the quality and character of the lumber was a matter of intense interest to the buvers. But thev

found it good. It is beautifully manufactured, the grades are uniform, the lumber is bright and clear in color, and very attractive to the eye. It is light, handles easily, has lost none of the virtues of air dried lumber, and possesses many characteristics of superior character.

Through Mr. Russell's counsel the needs and clesires of the California trade have been given attention in the supplying of the California business. Chas. S. Keith, President of the Central Coal & Coke Company came to California and talked the situation over with Mr. Russell, follorved shortly afterward by Mr. E. B. Hazen, Sales Manager. Mr. Hazen is an experienced and highly respected Northwestern lumberman. He now makes his headquarters in Kansas City, handling all of the sale of the Central Coal &.Coke Company mills, both South and West.

Well known as "E,d" rvherever Pacific Coast lumber is manufactured, Mr. Hazen was for many years manager of the Bridal Veil Lumber Company and previous to that was in charge of the Tongue Point Lumber Company, at Astoria. He has handled many large sales organizations, but none larger than at present, rvhile selling the output of three large Yellorv Pine mills and this tremendous Fir plant at Vernonia, all ou.ned b1- the Central Coal and Coke Company.

XIr. J. E. Cool, forrnerly in sales office at Kansas City, is

n

Western Sales Agent, with offices in the Veon Building in Portland, Oregon.

"Joe" Cool has had many years' experience in Pacific Coast woods, both in rnanufacturing and marketing and is thoroughly conversant with western conditions and needs.

Mr. Judd Greenman, General Supt., is also an old timer in the game, and is one of the best and most favorably known operators in the northrvest. He was formerly in charge of the Union Mills, Seattle.

F'rank Schopflin, of Kansas City, is Assistant to the President, and the executive manager of the Central Coal & Coke Company, with Messrs Keith, Hazen, Greenman, and Cool, he makes up the coterie of "4C" officials who are of ir-rterest to the State of California through their Vernonia o1-lerations.

All parts of the Vernonia plant are in keeping with the sarvmill and kiln units that have been 'described. The planer is 100 percent motorized, and is the latest word that can be spoken in planing mill equipment. The monorail system for handling lumber to and from the sheds is one of the biggest and best on earth.

The sheds are enormous. The dressed lumber shed holds 10,000,000 feet. There are two rough lumber sheds for storage. Each of them holds 12,500,000 feet of lumber. A thirC shed of this size is in prospect.

(Continued from Page 22) as follows: last week in Nlarch, second week in August, and the Annual Meeting, rvhich will be held on the third week in November.

The recommendations r'r'ere unanimously passed.

"Should Machine Set-Ups Be a Direct Charge" was discussed by L. R. McKesson, Pasadena Mfg. Co., Pasadena.

Mr. McKesson said that the millmen should analyze just what the machines are doing, and as all mills are not equipped u'ith the latest types of machinery, in considering the subject of set-ups it is necessary to consider mills with all kinds of machinery. He read a Bulletin issued by the Institute which was a study on set-ups based on the mill operations of seven plants, and explained in detail with illustrat ons and figures the results of each operation based on the number of set-ups, average feet per set-up, hours running. hours dorvn. etc. He cited one instance at their Pasadena plant, rvhere a job on a specified mantel necessitated trventy-seven set-up operations for which they made a charge of $40.50 before turning a wheel. On this particular job he .ivishecl to experiment and invited the architect to come to the mill, suggesting that he leave the matter of set-up charges to the architect. After watching the mill operations on this job, the architect conceded to him that his set-up charges of $1.50 per set-up, or total of $40.50, for the job r,r'as right. Mr. McKesson stated that people wanting buildings or special design clients do not want charity and are anxious that the millmen should get a legitimate profit on their operations.

Mr. McKesson said that he was in favor of direct charges for set-ups, irrespective of a long or short run. In concluding, he stated that if a set-up plan could be adopted that it rvould be of great assistance to the millmen and put the business on a higher plane.

Follou'ing Mr. McKesson's talk, there was a general

discussion on the subject by the Convention. It was the consensus of opinion that the matter should be taken up by the various local branch organizations and the results of their studies be reported back at the next meeting.

Friday Afternoon Session Under "I-ocal Branch Activities," O. A. Topham spoke on the work of the Los Angeles Branch. He stated that their work was purely educational, good speakers were arranged for so that the members look forward to the meetings, and that their meetings resulted in good fellowship and created confidence among the members. He said that Cost Finding received much time and attention at their meetings. Several committees rvere active and all functioning rvith the same purpose in view, towards the rvelfare of the industry.

W. F. O'Keeffe reported on the activities of the Stockton Branch. He stated that they have five mills in Stockton that hold membership in the Institute, and that they were making considerable progress through their local organization.

E. R. Maule, Hammond Lumber Co., Los Angeles, talked on the "Progress of Management Control in the Industry."

"Since the formation of the Millwork Institute, we have made remarkable progress," said Mr. Maule. "We have solidified the organization; lve are beginning to talk the same language; our discussion on uniform accounting, and the fact that the Managing Director is to devote more time to the Branch organizations; these are all signs of progress," he stated. He spoke of the efficiency methods of Henry Ford as applied- in the automobile industry, and said that the same thing applied to the millwork industry, as they were very much concerned in efficiency and that thLe Institute should educate their members olt efficiency methods.

ALLBOARD

throu gh dealers only are we creating a big demand for Buttress Wallboard, but we are endeavoring to fill that demand through you. Each and every Buttress 'Wallboard advertisement carries the line

_..FOR SALE BY ALL LUMBER DEALERS."

But no amount of advertising can sell-and continue to sell-a product unless that product has actual worth and value and merit in itself.

Buttress Wallboard Sells

Because It Satisfies This durable, all-purpose building board is made of pure g)psum rock plaster, compressbd for strength between t\ /o sheets of strong, tough paper and then ironed to glassy smoothness. It is tested daily to insure absolute uniformity and it is a product, therefore, that you can recommend to your customers with the

utmost confidence.

Buttress Wallboard is thoroughly kiln dried and seasoned before it leaves our factory and, therefore, it never warps, buckles, cracks or shrinks after being applied-insuring beautiful stralght walls and ceilings that will last as long as the building stands.

Will Not Burn, Ignite or Transmit Fire

One match will easily set afire a piece of wood

lath or paper-pulp wallboard, but even a blow torch will not ignite Buttress Wallboard. This, fire-resistive gypsurn rock product makes a rigid, durable fire-fighting wall and confines the ' ' fire to the room in which it starts.

That's another reason why you can recommend ' Buttress Wallboard as the ideal li4ing material

for the construction of Homes, Schools,

Churches, Theatres, Clubhouses, $tores, Garqges, Poultry Houses, Finishing the Attic, Covering Old Plaster, Making Partitions, lleeping Porches, Clothes Closets;. Cupboards, Telephone Booths, Stock Rooms, Work Rooms and for all kinds of New Construition, Alterations, Repairs, or Additions. ;

Buttress Wallboard Is Easily And Quickly Applied The extreme ease of application is another strong point in favor of Buttress Wallboard.

A hammer, sa\ r, nails, and a pair of handsthat's all a person needs to install the big,'clean, ceiling-high panels which are made Vs in. or /4 in. thiclc, 48 inches wide and in length from 6 to 12 feet. Tests show that the the /s ir.. Buttress Wallboard is harder, stifier and far stronqstronger than ordinary wallboard. It is recommended for outside construction as well as for interior walls and ceilings.

"'We must create fair competition by the collected concentrated efiorts of our probler.ns for efficient business methods," Mr. Maule stated. In speaking on better business methods, he said, "We should educate our members by talks, each one should cooperate in a uniform accounting system, and create standard practices, which is simply finding out better business methods."

He also referred the success of the automobile indust/v due to the work of efficiency engineers, and stated we will have to think about this matter in the millwork business in times to come, as ri'e will nbed a thorough analysis of the best methods of doing certain branches of work. He also discussed association policy, and the waste of lumber in manufacturing and mill working which he said was an indictment against effi ciency.

In discussing the question of credit given for material returned from the job, he spoke of conditions in Southern California, stating that practically every mill handled this matter differently. Which is the right way to handle this matter should be determined by the state association, he declared.

He also urged that the members answer all Question-

in their sales. He urged the display of mill work as of great value, and stated the millworkers' industry should educate the public through advertising. He said that there were several permanent display rooms in Los Angeles but none were showing any millwork products. He suggested that the mills in the metropolitan districts should get together, share the expenses, and establish permanent millwork displays, so that the public could be educated and thereby increase a better and .bigger demand for their products.

"Substitute Propaganda" was discussed by A. W. Bernhauer, Fresno Planing Mill, Fresno. He said that there were certain advahces made in the industry, but that it was not necessary to follow the old practices. Many substitutes have been put on the market through misrepresentation, he declared, and are effecting the mill business.

Mr. Bernhauer showed several advertisements on metal sash, casing, base, etc., and read the advertising copy

which he said shorved unfair comparisons in their reference to lumber. He also referred to the slogan "shortage of lumber" which lvas being used in some of the substitute advertisements, such propaganda being used to make the people think that there is a shortage of lumber.

Among the many remedies to offset this propaganda. he cited several ; an advertising campaign by the association to put the facts before the public, such advertising to carry only absolute facts; meetings rvith architects to bring out these facts and to present the architects with all the valuable information on wood available; educational work along lines of stock and odd work; publicity to promote the millwork industry, and the establishment of a research department under the supervision of an expert, which he said had been the saving of many industries.

In concluding, he declared that the association should advocate the use of wood, and with a proper advertising and publicity campaign they could sell their clients at least 50 per cent more mill work and also eliminate the propaganda against wood.

Leslie B. Hehry, Pasadena, vice president of the BlytheWitter Co., gave an excellent talk on the financial iituation in the countrv. Prior to the world war, he stated, the United States was a borrowing nation, but since then conditions have changed and to-day the United States is the banking nation of the world. He discussed the question of foreign debts and explained financial conditions in England, France, Germany_, and Italy, which countries to-day are debtor nations. He said that the tariff prevents thi foreign nations paying their debts through raw and manufactured materials, and the only way they could meet their payments was through the investment of American money

"Don't be afraid of what foreign financing is going to do to America," he declared. It will drive more money back to the United States than ever before, he stated, through foreign countries paying their debts, through interest payments on securities, municipal and government bonds to private investors, and will lay the ground for greater prosperity in the United States than ever before.

In closing his excellent address, he said I would like to leave one word with you regarding'your association. Build it on the ethics of fair competition, cooperate rvith competition so that the industry will demand respect, and turn the attention of investors to domestic bonds, thereby increasing the business of the industry.

"Can We Afford to Delay the Cooperative Advertising Campaign ?" was discussed- by Jack ilart, Hart & ilur-meister, San Francisco. Mr. Hart said that he didn't think they should delay the advertising campaign, but the im(Continued on Page 38)

portant question at this time was how the advertising campaign would be financed. He urged the association to stand behind their goods with the Millwork Institute insignia.

"At our next meeting, I will tell you the details of how San Francisco and the Bay District have found a way to finance putting the advertising campaig'n across, and I hope that the other sectiohs and districts of the state will be able to report accordingly", he declared.

The recommendation of the Board of Directors that the next meeting of the Institute be held at Stockton on March 26 and 27 was unanimously approved.

The report of the Resolutions Committee was made by E. R. Maule, Chairman, and the following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the association: (l) That the Millwork Institute of California exlrrcsscs its unqualified endorscment of the effcts bcing rnade looking to thc repeal of the Fcderal Capital Stock Plar5 and that tho Managing Director send copies of this resolution to Prcsidcnt Coolidge Sccretary of the Treasury Mellort and to the California Congrcssional delegation, asking thoir coopcratbn in sccuring the rcpcal of this unwarrantcd tax.

A critical inspection failed to disclose any indication of warping or twisting of the stiles and rails, n-o separation of joinis, -blistering of panels or swelling. Mr. Scoville atiests that, e*cep1 forl slight raising of the grai!, the door was in the sam-e condition at the completion of the test, as

before it was placed in the tank' Mr. Osgood-announced recently that his company.had completed arrangements to install a permanent exhibit of "Laminex" doors at the Metropolitan Exhibit, Fifth and Broadway, Los Angeles, and that this soaking test would frequently be made in connection with this booth.

(Continued from Page 44)

This test had been made repeatedly at various industrial exhibits and lumber conventions and never failed to win the applause of interested parties- The illustration shows the door before being placed in the tank, autoqraphed by two officials at the Olympic Auditorium. " Mr. K. -M. Scoville, manager of the "Home Beautiful

Show", wrote to Mr. Osgood, after the exhibition, praising the test, and saying that, in his opinion, it was one of the most drastic and unusual tests ever given a piece of mill work.

The door was placed in the tank of water at 4 p. m' October 23rd. and was not touched until 9 a. m. Novembet 2nd.

The term usually is applied to a mixtirre of Tanguile and Lauan. They belong to the same family, the Dipterocarps, and merge into one another in appearance, color, texture, and grain in such a manner that in the Manila market they are classed together as Philippine Mahogany.

The Federal Trade Commission is at the present time making investigations into the right of dealers and manufacturers to designate Tanguile and Lauan as Philippine Mahogany, inasmuch as these woods do not belong to the Mahogany family. A complaint has been made to the Commission that the use of the word Mahogany in this connection deceives the public and injures the business of those dealing in genuine Mahogany. To those in the know, however, this is an academic question only and it will undoubtedly be settled in due time. The fact of its being taken up by the United States Government shows, nevertheless, the importance which Philippine Hardwoods are assuming in the woodworking industry of the country.

Philippine Mahogany comes in two shades of color--= called Red and White. A better naming would be Dark Red and Light Red. The light colored or pink wood can be stained to exactly the same appearance as the Dark Red and is cheaper.

Like a great many tropical woods Philippine Mahogany is subject to the attack of worms' These worms' however, make only the finest pin or needle point holes, are not very numerous and are, in actual use, no defect because the filler and finish cover them up' Philippine Mahogany can, however, be obtained in a grade which is practically free from worms, that is within a leeway oi five or ten percent.

In the Firsts and Seconds grade, therefore, there are two kinds of Philippine MahoganyFree from worms (Not over 5/o ot L0% wotmy).

'Wormholes no defect (Any amount of pin worm holes allowed). The only difference in quality between these two grades is in the number or quantity of pin worm holes.

Both grades are clear as far as defects other than those mentioned are concerned. The difference in price, however, is greater in proportion than the difference in quality.

While the pin wormholes are no defect inasmuch as they are obliterated by the finish, they do reduce the price and Clear Wormy Philippine is one of the cheapest of hardwoods.

For all practical and ornamental purposes it finishes up as well as the stock which is free from worms and it is gaining great favor and being extensively used for furniture, house trim, store and office fixtures, sash and doors and practically every other cabinet purpose.

Bay District Hoo Hoo Honors Capt. Robert Dollar and Pioneer Lumbermen Capt. Robt. Dollar

Nearly 300 lumbermen attended the complimentary dinner to Capt. Robert Dollar and the.pioneer lumbermeh of the Golden State at the F airmont Hotel on Thursday evening November 12, rvhich rvas given by the Bay District Hoo-Hoo. Fred Roth, Vicegerent Snark of the Bay District, was toastmaster.

In opening the program of the evening, Vicegerent Snark Roth said:-"This is indepd a most gratifying gathering.

Truly a tribute to our honored guest-Captain Dollar and the pioneers assembled who blazed the trails in the lumber industry. Our program is a long one and limited. We will proceed rvith a word of blessing from our Chaplain Pzirson Simpkin. Kindly remain standing while we sing America directed by Charles Lamp."

At the conclusion of several beautiful piano solos by Miss Lillian Clark, Parson Simpkin talked on the "Romance of the Lumber Industry."

"This room-the guest of honor and these pioneer lumbermen-could furnish out of their experiences a romance that would outvie the dreams of the ri..etr or the printed p?g€," the Parson declared. He continued, "It needs no

great vision to catch the romance of this great. industry.

The romance of the forest with that harvest where trees span some of them, half the known history of humanity, the green glory and peace make a temple. In their silences the great strong men of lumber, rough of hand, golden of heart is the most glorious workshop time ever fur'nished'" The Parson then dwelt on the romance of the game of Service. and then discussed Reforestation, which he stated was "a century long task and hope that reaches to bless unborn generations." He paid tribute to Hoo-Hoo, as the soul of the great industry and for its great program of

brotherhood, confidence, and education. In concluding, the Parson said, "The lumbermen ask for no praise or reward.

This generation rvill lie down when its work is done with folded hands content to know that it has sct the beginning of forests for poets, the children and the needs of the years when we shall all be dim memories."

Julius Haug then rendered several fine violin solos, and Miss Lillian Clark who possessed a beautiful mezzo soprano voice, sang two delightful solos.

Capt. Robert Dollar received a wonderful reception, which ehded with a big Nine, when he rose to talk on his

THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT subject, "Reminiscences." Capt. Dollar gave his early experiences in the lumber industry, dating back to his birth eighty-two years ago when he said that he was born in the family home which was just above a lumber office. He then told of his experiences in the early lumber camps of Canada, Michigan, and California. It was through his association in the lumber business, that he embarked in the shipping trade, and he spoke on the growth and development of the Dollar Steamship Co. which to-day maintains a regular "Round-the-World"'' service. Capt.'Dollar has made several trips around the world in the interests of his organization and just recently returned from his last trip about two months ago. He had .many enjoyable reminiscences to relate regarding his world trips and various countries visited, and during his last trip he stated that he made over four hundred business calls; also, as many build-service,

ings in foreign countries do not maintain elevator

these calls ofteh necessitated climbing three and four flights of stairs which he said was no easy task. Captain Dollar's "Reminiscences" were extremely interesting and thoroughly

enjoyed by the large gathering.

Cowell Dein entertained the gathering with banjo solos, and Marjorie Kahl with several pleasing ballet dances was the last number on the entertainment program. _,_T!" last speaker of the evening was the Hon. John L. McNab who talked on "The Importance of the Merchant Marine to Our Country." Mr. McNab is an able speaker and his address was very much enjoyed. He paid^ Capt.

Dollar a very pleasing compliment for the positibn that he has attained in international shipping and ipoke at length on better international feelings that will be secured w-ith foreign courtries through the trade relations carried on by the Dollar Steamship Co. in their "Round the World" serrilce.

PERSISTENCY Said the little red rooster, "Gosh all Hemlock ! Things are

tough;

Seems that worms are getting scarcer, and I cannot get

enough; What's become of all those fat ones, is a mystery to me, There were thousands through that wet spell; now where can they be?"

The old black hen who listened, did not grumble or complain; She had gone through lots of dry spells, she had lived through floods of rain; So she flew up on the grindstone, and gave her claws a whet, As she said, "I've never seen the time there weren't worms

One Sunday a certain "cullud" discovered that the senior deacon had failed to provide the wine for the communion service. No one discoveied it until the proverbial eleventh hour and then there was a hasty conference with heads close

together in the back of the church. Finally they grasped at the plan of an old sister living close by who offered to bring over some of hers. No one knpw what kind of wine it was until all had been served and then they realized that it had been made out of green persimmons. Tho stumped for a minute, the preacher became equd to the occasion, and quickly announced: "Brethren and Sistern, wid yo'all's approval we'se gwine to omit SINGIN' the Doxologywe's gwine to WHISTLE IT."-Book of Smiles.

and free,

"I must go to the worms" she said, "the worms won't come to me.tt The rooster vainly spent his day through habit, by the ways Where round fat worms had passed in squads back in the rainy days; When nightfall found him supperless he groaned in accents rough, "Im hungry as a fowl can be, conditions sure are tough."

He turned then to the old black hen and said, "It's worse with you, For you're not only hungry but you must be tired too; I rested while I watched for worms, so I feel fairly perk, But how are you? Without worms, and after all that

work?"_,.

HE WAS GREEN INDEED "Who comes there?" challenged the recruit sentry.

"The officer of the day," came the prompt reply.

"Well" queried the green one, "Then what the Hell are you doing out at night?"

A FATHER'S ADVICE TO HIS SON "My Son, never speak unkindly of price cutters. Never knock them. Because God made price cutters, my son. lle made them the same as He made fleas, lice, bugs, wasps, snakes, skunks, and other unpleasant things. In His inscrutable wisdom, He made them. Why He made them, only He knpws. Some day He may enlighten us, but up

to now, I'll be d-d if I understand."

The old black hen hopped to her perch and dropped'her eyes

to sleep, And murmured in a drowsy tone, "Young man, hear this, and weep;

I'm full of worms and happy, for I've dined both long and well, The worms are there, as always, but I had to dig like H-1."

Oh, here and there red roosters still are holding sales positions, We cannot do much business now, because of 'rpoor conditions !"

But soon as thi4gs "get rig-ht" again they'll sell a hundred firms, Meanwhile the old black hens are out, and gobbling up the worms."

AN UNFAIR CHARGE The judge was passing sentence on an old man for stealing.

"This is a sad case" his honor said. "You, who remained honest until you.were sixty, have tarnished your name and dishonored your family, all for the sake of three miserable dollars."

"Please be fair" said the defendant, "was it my fault there were so few ?"

STILL LIFE "Oh, pa, look at the statue on that house."

"That isn't a statue, my son; that's a bricklayer."-Judge.

Echoes From Fresno Convention The recent convention at Fremo of the California Retail Lumberrnen's Association made lumber hirtory in California.

It rndc hictory because it demonrtratd that after long y€ars of divided thought, there has grown into being in this state a community of sprrit, a comnunity of interest, among the retail lumber folks, that har always been sorely needed.

It made history because it demonstrated the

fact that the retail lunber trade of California has at last grouped itrelf beneath a banner of cooperative and coondinated effort, a grouping that cannot but be of direct and exceeding benefit to the inductry, the cornmonwealth, and the builden in the past has been clannigh in 'itr C-alifornia organization activities. It has leaned to, DRASTIC CURTAILMENT BY B. C. SHINGLE MANUFACTURERS Shingle production in British Columbia at present is bare-

ward scgregated effort, rather than congregated and coordinated effort But the Fresno convention proved that it has enlarged its vision to the point where it understan& that there is great need and usefulness for a cornmunity spirit that covers ALL of

C-alifornia, md that tihe need of the WHOLE should be subondinated to the opinions of arry individual or part.

More lrcwer to the Association. It has great work to do, and is capable of great things. The men who comprise its official board include the best lumber thought in all districts of the State.

They are men who will see to it that the Asso. ciation works for big and constructive tAinge, for the upbuilding of the lumber industry, for the better serving of the builder, and for the honq and Glory of thc Great State of California.

A splendid mission.

An Investment that protects end beautifies ROOF of Pioneer Yosemite Rock Surfaced Shingles is an investment in beauty for your home and moreover, one that protects your entire in, vestment in the home and its contents. In addition to shielding the walls, the framework and the interior of the structure from the ravages of time and the elements,

it is constantly guarding them from the dangers of ex. posure fires-from flying sparks and embers. And this 6re resistance is endorsed by the National Board of Fire Underwriters-a point that lowers insurance rates on both home and contents.

Let their beauty and non,fading colors enhance the value of your home while their invulnerable armor reduces depreciation and the element of fire hazard!
