\lVe were pleased to p'resent in our December I issue the first installment of Jack Pfeifrer's interesting and thought-provoking article, "The Manufacturer versus The Wholesaler (and vice versa)." The second and final chapter will appear in our issue of January l,1962.

Why not let us have your thoughts on this interesting and-perhaps to s o m e, controversial-subject? The pages of The California Lumber Merchant are YOUR forum for expressing your views about your industry. We welcome letters-€ven ones which may sometimes rap our knuckles! No magazine, we believe, is worth its sawdust (if you will pardon the expression) which does not stir up thought.
