Encinitos Yord llodel of Good Retoil Operqtion

Because it is so beautifully well-kept, so effrcientl)' operatecl and so u'ell-stockecl with every possible brrilding item-inclucling garclen tools and garclen supplies, the Encinitas (Calif.) Lumber Company is not only a source for

every conceivable article of building material but it is a commur-ritv "shor.r. olace" as well.

article is plainly marked as to application and priie, a paradise for the general contractor as well as the weekend builder and remodeling mechanic.

The 2ft-acre yard and storage area is just as well-kept. Good housekeeping is evident everywhere, from the storage of all lumber and building materials to the receiving docks at the Santa Fe spur track, where lumber and allied materials arriving by rail are handled only once, from the car to the yard.

But if something is needed for building it is available at the Encinitas Lumber Co. It is quickly available and easily selected because good management seems to just ooze out of every area and section of this retail yard. They are able to supply the lumber, materials and tools to complete each and every project, regardless of size.

Eugene J. Gauthier, president of Encinitas Lumber Co., acquired the present location of the yard early in 1943. He had started his lumber career with Bauer Lumber Company in Carlsbad early in the 1930s.

It was his plan (which certainly appears to be most successful) to own and operate the finest retail lumber establishment in Southern California. He surrounded himself with capable and honest employes and he was off to achieve his mark in the retail merchandising field. He was later joined by his son, M. A. "Jim" Gauthier, who is now general manag'er of the Encinitds operation.

Early in 1946, the St. Malo Lumber Company in Oceanside was opened under the capable management of a sonin-law, Bill Meredith. It, too, is a show place of efficiency. Good housekeeping, service and complete inventory mark the success of the branch yqrd. Duplicate stocks are kept in this establishment, but whEn needid it just takes minut'es

to draw on the home office for anything in short supply. It requires the services of approximately 40 to-45-em(Continued on Page 62)

Thriving Retqil 'Cqrgo Yqrd' Finds the Formulo

With the recent Hubbard & Johnson Lumber Co. headquarters sl"rift fronr Nlountain View to its Port of Redwoocl City yard, r\''e are reminded of the popular TV slogan, "They said it couldn't be done."

Hubbard & Johnson established wl.rat is still the only cargo operatior.r in tl-re S. F. Bay area at the Port of Redwood City back in December '57 amid a good deal of speculatior.r and a "time-r,vill-tell" attitude from rnany quarters of the local inclustry.

But "time HAS told" and, indeecl, the Port of Redn'oocl City installation (formerly yard 4') is now not only a thriving cargo yard but also heaclcluarters for the cotnpany's whole Nortl-rern California operation, which also ir.rcludes yards at Monntain View and Los Gatos.

The first shipment to what was then clubbed "Yarcl 4" arrived aboarcl the Alaska Cedar on December 26, 1957 (CLM 1/15/58) ar.rd the cargo, from Crescent City, tallied out to just a little better than 2l million board feet.

Since that first shipment, more than 75 million boar<l feet of Douglas fir cargo has passed over the clock and through the yard-a pretty convincing statistic in itself, except that this figure cloesn't even inclucle a whopping big rail ancl truck-ancl-trailer volume in the other iten.rs stockecl at the yard, including DFPA-gradecl plywoocls, all popular items in redr,r'ood, western red cedar and K. D. ponderosa pine.

Originally, rn'ith no more than four acres of relatively urrimproved land, Owners Bud Hubbard and Chet Johnson,

along'ivith general manager Bill \Alray, have developed the operation ir.rto a first-class, 10-acre conceutration yarcl, completely paved ancl sporting a unique company-cleveloped "roller conveyor" system for dock-to-yard discl-rarge, still the only such lumber conveyor system of its kincl ir-r operation on tl.re West Coast.

Along u'ith general yard improvement, Hubbard & Johnson recently completed a brancl-new 15,000-sc1. ft. remanufacturing plant for added cortverrience arrcl service to its u'holesale customers in the Bay area ancl Peninsula. Plant capacity is 80,000 bm per shift and facilities include a

Exposition Plonning ls on the Front-Burner Now

The 7th annual NRLDA Building Materials Exposition, which will be held in San F rancisco from November 13 through the 16th, will be the largest and best-attended ghow ever produced for building materials dealers.

Everything a dealer could wish for from a national trade show will be presented, according to Thomas J. F ox, Santa Monica, Calif., general chairman of the Exposition. More than 250 exhibit booths featuring the cream of building materials a"rrd services will fill to capacity both the San Francisco Civic Auditorium and the adjacent, newly opened Brooks Hall.

In addition, the San I'rancisco municipal authorities will block off two city streets (Grove street which rrns between the two exhibit halls, and F ulton street which is nearby) to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. These streets will be used as outdoor display areas for exhibits too large to put inside the halls and for materialshandling demonstrations.

Reservations for exhibit booths two months prior to the opening time of the show already exceeded the total for last year's show, which was itself a recordbreaker.

Advance attendance registrations received from dealers are also smashing the records established in 1959. As early as September 2, seven of the more than 50 hotels and motels which are holding large blocks of rooms for lumber dealers reported they were full to capacity.

F rank E. Ileard, NRLDA Exposition attendarce chairman, explained this success as the result of both a g:eneral year-to-year increase in the pulling' power of the show itself and the unique opportunity for dealers to combine attendance at the show with a West Coast vacation.

StiU a third factor is the location of many of the world's largest and best-known lumber manufacturers on the West Coast, many of whom will hold "open house" for dealers who stop by on the way to or returning from the Exposition.

Prior to the opening of the Exposition each day (Noon on Sunday, November 13; 10:00 a.m. on Monday the 14th, Tuesday the 15th, and Wednesday the 16th), special Management clinics will be held in the Mark Hopkins and F'airmont hotels.

The first clinic, on Sunday, will be conducted by tlre Lumber Dealers Research Council. This clinic will, for the first time, offer dealers an opportunity to cover the full range of Lu-Re-Co operations in a single day.

Clarence A. Thompson, president of LDRC, will act as chairman of the meeting. He will be aided by three university professors who have been active in constnrction research for many years. These men are Professor Robert Seymour, IJniversity of Illinois, who will discuss management function in Lu-Re-Co prograrns;

Professor James T. Lendrum, University of Florida, who will outline. research prog:rams now in progress on new components, and Professor Robert O. Harvey, University of lllinois, who will discuss the fundamentals of financing, acquisition and development of land, sources of funds and controlling land uses. Raymon Harrell, executive vice-president of LDRC, will describe current research programs and Lu-Re-Co promotion plans for 1961.

On Sunday afternoon, special demonstrations will be held near the Civic auditorium on component handling. An extended question-and-answer period is also planned.

The regular NRLDA business programs will begin on Monday morning with three clinics being conducted simultaneously. Dealers will choose the one which is of most interest. The Monday clinics are:

"IIow to Sell Architects, Bullders and Contractors;" "IIow to Use Money, Machines and Manpower for Efficlont Flnanclal Mana,geme,nt," a,nd "IIow to l)evelop a Home Imprgvemont Center."

On Tuesday morning the clinics from which the dealers can choose are:

"IIow to Recrult, Traln and Compensate I+umber Yard Employes;" "IIow to Sell, tr.inance and Profit in the Seconil-Home Market," and "IIow to I)evelop Rotall Sales Power Through Better Merchan.ltsing."

A fourth clinic will also be conducted on Tuesday but, due to the special interest '"vhich this clinic will create, it is being held in the afternoon in the Civic d.uditorium rather than at the hotels which have limited seating facilities.

Thls special cllnlc ls entltled, "Labor Relotlons-lVe AII Have Thom," a,nd the featured speaker wt[ be Representatlve Robert P. Grtffin (R. Mlchlga,n), co-author of the Landrum-Grlfrn Btll (later the Labor Reform Act).

On the final day of the Exposition, the Management clinics ofiered will be: "IIow to Becapture Lost Marketsr" &nd "Ifow to Profft Frbm F'un ln tho SunSelltng Outdoor Llvlng."

In addition to the regular exhibits and Management clinics, a host of other special features will be highlighted at the show.

Among: these are the special program on "\lVood Products Promotion for Profit," which will be conducted by the National Ianmber Manufacturers Association; three special features which will provide dealers with Merchandlslng ldeas and Yard-Planning Services; and a number of Freo Tours, sponsored by the California Redwood Association and Kaiser Aluminum Building Products Division.

Many of the state and regional associations affiliated with NRLDA have developed extensive tour programs to coincide with the Exposition. Dealers and their wives who join these tours will travel to San Francisco either by air or rail. In the latter case, they can take advantage of the sidetrips to some of the major lumber mills in Washington and Oregon.

Sawing skill at the mills gives WPA lumber the quality your customers know

Here's a critical moment in the manufacture of lumber-critical for the mill, for you and for your customers. How the sawyer cuts each log into boards and framing lumber bears directly on the quality of each piece-as well as upon the yield of the log.

Properly turned cuts are taken from each side, the log is worked down with knot angle, grain and growth rings as signal guides. Such care means straight, flat lumber with maximum stability. the best type of man-made quality you can buy.

lnherent, natural qualities in the eleven Western Pine Region lumber species are ideal for every building need. For information about them, write Western Pine Association, Yeon Building, Portland 4, Oregon.

PR,ESIDENT EISENHOWER PR,OCLAI'NS NATIONAT FOREST PRODUCTS WEEK

President Eisenhower has officially designated the week of October 16 as National F'orest Products Week in ceremonies at The White House, September 15, attended by representatives of various elements of the forest products industries

fn his proclamation, the President noted that the nation's forests and timberlands provide the people with a source of strength aSd pride. He added: "as a major renewable resource, supported by the science of modern forestry, wood offers the availability and abundance to satisfy the'nation's ever-growing needs for many products-lumber, paper, building materials, chemicals, furniture and cloth-all dedicated to improving the lives of our people."

Thomas J. McHugh, chairman of the board of Atlantic Lumber Company, Boston, and preFident of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, heading the industry delegation, gave President Eisenhower a.clock made of 10 species of native. American woods. The center segment of the clock was made from a piece of yellow pine removed from The White House during the Coolidge administration after 112 years of service beginning when James Madison was President. The other species represented in the clock are black walnut, black cherry, maple, sugar pine, western hemlock, oak, spruce, Douglas fir, and redwood.

Senator John L. McClellan of Arkansas, who introduced the resolution which lead to the proclamation of National I'orest Products Week, and Senator George D. Aiken of Vermont attended the proclamation ceremonies. The Joint Resolution passed by the Congress was approved by the President September 13 as Public Law 86-753.

f,'orest products industry leaders who were present included:

Henry Bahr, secretary, vice-president and general counsel, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, \{'ashington, D.C.; Mortimer B. Doyle, executive vice-president, National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D.C.; Philip E. F rankfort, manager of lumber and woodlands, Union Bag-Camp Paper Corporation, Eranklin, Virginia, and president, Southern Pine Association; John L.

The Southern California Retail Lumber Assn. sent notice to all Santa Barbara and Ventura counties lumbermen of a meeting, Sept. 2O, to hear plans for National tr'orest Products Week. SCRLA President Stanley McDonald and Manager Orrie Hamilton were present for the gathering of their area members there in the Executive Conference room of the Santa Barbara Inn at 7:00 p.m. A $5 prime-rib dinner was served.

Jim Forgie of the Robert S. Osgood Co., Los Angeles, and vice-chairman of the L. A. Committee for National Forest Products Week, also attended the retail gathering to present the plans and preparation now going forward on that endeavor. Forgie promised assistance in any way for furtherance of the national project in the Santa Barbara-Ventura area.

U. S. Forest Products Lab tfolns "\ileektt Observance

Madison, Wis.-The first annual observance of national Forest Products Week, October 16 to 22, comes as a fitting highlight to a year studded with events important to the forest-based industries, according to Dr. Edward G. Locke, director of the U.S. 'I'orest Products Laboratory. In congratulating the Webk's sponsor, the lumbermens' International Concatenated Order of l{ooHoo, Dr. Locke observed that the Laboratory he heads is this year celebrating its golden anniversary, and extended an invitation to all in the forest products industries to visit the world-famed institution.

The Laboratory, he pointed out, regularly schedules tours at 2 p.rn. daily. These will be amplified for F'orest Products Week.

"Fifty years ago, when the Forest Service launched the frrst laboratory of its kind in the world in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin, few could have visualized the enormous changes that would ensue within half a century in our industries, our ways of doing things, our very lives." Dr. Locke commented.

"It is more than just happy coincidence, therefore, that the industries we work with should this year call attention to their accomplishments and progress by way of a special Forest Products Week. There is much to call attention to. And f am happy to see industry lining up behind the sponsors in such a solid front.

"I think the results of 50 years of research here will convince anyone," Dr. Locke said, "that healthy expansion of products research is bound to have beneficial results industrywide.

"I heartily congratulate the industries on the occasion of the first national Forest

Products Week, and extend this invitation to all to visit the Laboratory sometime in the near future on this, our golden anniversary year."

for the Speaker Committee, announced that James Forgie had been successful in obtaining Tony Antoville, chairman of the board of U.S. Pllrv/ood Corporation. Mr. Antoville will be the principal industry speaker, and there is still possibility that a prominent non-industry speaker might also be available.

In the absence of James Newquist of the Public Relations Committee, Robert Graham discussed the phase of publicity into which the Chamber of Commerce would enter. i.e.. the Chamber of Commerce would handle all press relations for the luncheon.

Finance Chairman Dee Essley was unable to be present, but various committee members present, reporting for their organizations, indicated the amount collected so far.

James Forgie reported for the Displays Committee, in the absence of Orrie Harnilton, and his comments were augmented further by information submitted by Robert Graham. The following locations for displaysi were reported: Eirst Savings & Loan

John Rider reported a discouraging picture of the availability of display space at the Los Ang'eles International Airport, but reported favorably on the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, and indicated that the door had not been closed on the Lockheed Air Terminal in Burbank. Robert Graham reported that Ed Fountain is building 21 displays for 21 branches of the United States National Bank, including eight branches in San Diego.

T\ro retail lumber companies in Buena Park were cooperating in displays for the United States National Bank in Buena Park. The Committee is still working for display space in the Los Angeles Union Station and the California State Building. Display locations in Santa Ana were still under consideration. Mr. F enton volunteered to contact the wood boat industry and,/or the Wood Boat F oundation for displays in their own communities.

With further regard to obtaining additional public attention, F'rank Daluiso indicated that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios would make film clips from which spot TY' showings could be made.

LeRoy Stanton reported for the Luncheon Committee that the time for the luncheon had been set at 12:00 noon, and that the scheduled program would commence at approximately L2:45 p.m.; the cost of the luncheon would be $1.75, including tax and tip, and that tickets would be sold in advance at $3.50, including tax and tip. The dining room capacity is 200, and an additional 40 could be accommodated. It was felt desirable to attempt to g:et about onehalf of the tickets in the hands of the wood industry, and the balance in the hands of other desirable industries, such as construction engineers, architects, etc. In line with this, it was suggested that the Chamber of Commerce try to arrange it as a joint meeting with the Engineering Consultants and Architects and Construction Industry groups. It was decided that the Public Relations Committee would cooperate fully with the Luncheon Committee in the printing of tickets and invitations.

Table decorations for the luncheon were discussed, and a suggestion was made to use small living trees as the most appropriate. Elmer Osterman. California Fire Prevention Coordinator at Riverside, graciously volunteered 20 small pine trees for this use and his generosity was immediately accepted with pleasure.

Stanley McDonald outlined progress with the retail lumber dealers' association, stating that two notices had already been printed in the Association bulletin, and reporting excellent reaction from dealers in general.

Robert GraJram reported excellent distribution of the bumper stickers, so good, in fact, that a re-run of about 5,000 additional stickers would be required.

New KVAI | 2-Second-Cycle Routing-Boring Mqchine for Doors

The doors are merely slid against a limit switch stop and all the machining operations for hinges and lock are performed in 12 seconds. This machine may also be used directly behind a KVAL double-head Edging Machine (model 550). By arranging a layout of this type, the doors are sized with correct bevel and then conveved onto the KVAL 880 Automatic for hinge and lock machining.

The routing for hinges and drilling for lock take place simultaneously. The hinge routing mechanisms are actuated in the vertical direction by use of a cam. This movement is transmitted to all three mechanisms by a shaft with gears and racks. The horizontal movement is accomplished by an air cylinder. The vertical and horizontal movements are combined to the smoothest possible operation to rout out the area for the hinges.

The doors are drilled for the larger hole by two 2-HP motors. One drill comes down from the top and the other from the bottom in a synchronized sequence. While the drilling is going on, a special device is routing out the area for the face plate. This unit then swings out of the way and the horizontal drill goes into the edge of the door and returns.

Kvalheim Machinery Company at Petaluma, California, has added another impressive machine to its line of door equipment. It's called the KVAL No. 880 Automatic-and it IS automatic.

The holding cylinders release and the door is completed.

Kvalheim Machinery Company will be happy to supply further information on request.

Big €onresf for Deolers ond Builders to lounch

New lop Siding Product by Mqsonite Corporotion

A contest sponsored among home builders by Masonite Corlroration to name an all-new lap siding is designed to launch the product with fanfare and lead to immediate sales for dealers.

"Name the 'X' Siding Contest" ofrers prizes to both builders and the lumber dealers named by the prize-winning builders. If the first-prize winner lists the address of a residence he has built with the new siding, he will win a cash bonus of $250.

The product is now available to dealers. The contest, which opened Oct. 1, is scheduled to close at midnight, Dec.21.

E irst prize for a builder is a two-week trip for two to Hawaii. Nine other prizes will be offered, such as TV sets, console and portable stereophonic AM and FlVI radios, and several transistor pocket-sized radios.

F or every builder winner there will be a lumber deaJer winner-if the dealer's name is listed by the builder on the official entry blank. Prizes for dealers are: 1st, roundtrip, one-week vacation for two to Las Vegas plus 150 silver dollars for "play" money, and nine other prizes including a 23'AV console, a 19" portable TV, a portable stereophonic phonograph and 6 transistor radios.

Eligible in the builders' contest are those who in 1959 and 1960 have built five or more single-family residences. Rules in the companion contest for lumber dealers require dealers to promote the contest and the new siding with their builders.

The new product-lap siding 12"x16'x 7 /L6,, nom.-becomes the thickest siding in the Masonite line.

I'aces and edges of the "X" siding are

factory-primecoated and the backs sealed. TWo guidelines at each edge are included for quick alignment for either L$lz" or \L" exposure.

With a 7/16" nominal thickness. the new product presents a deeper, attractive shadow line and superior stability, exceptional dent-resistance and weatherability, Masonite Corporation said. The 16' lengths will produce fewer Joints.

Other characteristics expected to make it popular are the wide exposure, uniformity in quality, easy paintability, absence of knots and other defects. It won't split, splinter or check. Edges are treated identically so that top and bottom are reversible for installations such as gable ends.

West of the Rockies the product is available only in bundles. Included in the cartons are rust-proof, hardened steel self-seating nails.

The sales promotion department is mak-

ing available to dealers a counter display which shows two laps of the siding, contest brochures and entry blanks, 72"x74" arrd 6"x8" samples, and application sheets. In addition, there will be a four-page tabloid newspaper giving dealers merchandising suggestions for the promotion of the product.

fn the event of ties. winners will be asked to submit 25-word statements de-

scribing their reasons for submitting the name. Decision of the judges is final. Judging will be based on originality, uniqueness and aptness of thought. Prizes may be claimed only by actual winners and are not transferable or redeemable in cash or other merchandise.

A paragraph has been added to cover reinspection of a hardwood plywood shipment if demanded. ff re-inspection establishes the shipment to be 57o or less belolV grade and to contain t/o ot less of mis-manufactured panels, the buyer pays the cost of reinspection and pays for the shipment as invoiced. If re-inspection establishes the shipment to be more than 57a below grade, the cost of such re-inspection is borne by the seller and the buyer need not accept such defective panels as shipped as any standard grade listed in CS35.

CS35 now contains two certificates: A Certificate of Inspection, which certifies as to grade specifications and glue bond, and A Certificate of Glue Bond, which certifies as to the bond specification only. There is also a provision in the standard which describes the use of grade and glue bond stamps.

The Hardwood Plywood Institute's Technical committee announces that a revised CS35, Commercial Standard Hardwood Plywood, has been presented to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Commodity Standards Division. The Standard would establish a basis of common understanding for all manufacturers of hardwood plywood and should facilitate the procurement and use of this product, and users will be able to specify their needs from nationally recognized types and grades, in a better understanding between buyer and seller.

Particle board core and softwood veneer core material has been written into the Commercial Standard for the first time. The test for particle board and wood composition board constructed hardwood plywood will refer to Commercial Standards for these products when they are promulgated by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Commodity Standards Division. Soft wood construction inner-plies refers to CS45, Douglas X'ir Plywood, CS122-56, Western Softwood Plywood or CS15?-56, Pine Plywood. Sixteen woods have been added to the density tables. Grade descriptions for all species have been changed to conform with grade descriptions of the hardwood flush door industry and The Birch Club. These three organizations have worked together on the Standards afrected and on the summary of characteristics and defects for the grades of the various face veneers.

Grade descriptions have been changed from Custom grade, Good grade (1), Sound grade (2), Utility grade (3), Backing grade (4) to Premium grade (1), Good grade (1), Sound grade (2), Utility grade (3), Backing grade (4) and Specialty grade (SP). The chief difference between the Premium grade (1) and Good grade (1) is that in Premium grade, when the face consists of more than one piece, it must be matched for color; in Good g'rade the pieces

Now available to dealers is the handsome 1960 Eldition of Garden Redwood Ideas from California, prepared by the California Redwood Association. Illustrated in color, the fourth in a series of attractive garden booklets prepared by the CRA is made available to dealers for their own promotional use. Previous booklets have received national awards for professional excellence, and were in strong demand by consumers, dealers, and specifier.

The new booklet offers 16 pages of landscaping ideas and helpful redwood information, and is illustrated by imaginative g'arden designs by noted California landscape architects and, planners.

Ttrp book is highlighted by a profusion of garden desigrr ideas. How to make use of a steep hillside lot; how to make the most of a small apartment terrace; how redwood structures can add to garden color; ideas for redwood fences; and natural finishes for redwood-are some of the subjects covered in the generously illustrated "idea" booklet.

dLONG.WAY" JOIST SYSTEM CUTS COSTS

f,'raming-in floor joists to run the long way of the house can often cut construction costs by providing a base for economical Sheet-Board subflooring, according to studies recently completed by the Western Pine research laboratory in Portland, Ore. Traditional joist installation has always been cross-ways to the house length. This provides support for central load-bearing partitions ovei the longitudinal center beam. Ilowever, the association study showed an extra joist running the length of the structure will add adequate strength for this need. The extra joist is not necessary where modern open planning or truss rafters are used. Analysis of the long-way system showed considerable reduction in materials. Or alteraate use of lower grade joist material could be substituted as a cost-saving: measure.

The long-way system allows the use of narrower joists which provide a lower architectural silhouette as well as economy, and allows shorter length joists. It furnishes a framework so Sheet-Board subflooring (panels of sawn boards laid side by side and glue bonded by heat and pressure between tough, wet-strength kraft paper) can be applied cross-ways to the floor plan. This provides a^rr ideal base for the installation of strip-flooring'to run the length of the house.

In a joist-system cost comparison using a typical house with basement 28x40-feet in size, the Association report showed conventional joist framing required 1916 board feet of lumber. The long'-way joist example using three cross-beams required but 1629 board feet, and the long'-way joists on two cross beams needed 1834 feet.

It likewise produced armies of grand citizens who have helped make America great. For instance, there was a Scot named Andrew Carnegie. During the Panic of 1893, this Scot approached a group of bankers in an Eastern city and asked for a loan of a million dollars-quick.

They stared at him in disbelief. They said, "Such a loan is unprecedented." And Andrew replied, "I aln a man who does unprecedented things." He was. And he got the loan.

This brave Scot was .ln"a*rrr,Sa be called a product of the "sweat shops." The first year he worked he got $1.20 a week, but he gave such service that for the second year they raised him to $2 a week.

But the long hours and low pay failed to embitter him, and he lived to be able to borrow a million dollars during a terrible panic, and to finally give away more money to mankind than any other who had ever lived.

Which reminds us of another great American who started small but grew big. His name was Thomas Edison. He got no education but sold papers on the streets of his home town, Detroit. He worked long hours and rested short ones. And he became one of the great men of all history, the greatest inventor of all time since the days of John Stonehatchet. Has any man done more for mankind and for civilization than this man of such severe beginnings?

This fellow lorrr, Stol"n"l"n l, just mentioned above, lived in the Stone Age, a time when everyone who grew crops broke the ground with a crooked stick. One day some neighbors dropped by and found John working a new invention of his own. He had made a plow out of a hardwood log, and had a wild bull pulling it. And he was breaking an acre a day, a miracle in those times. And those good neighbors just shook their heads and declared: "Them dadblamed new inventions will be the death of us: there's too many men unemployed new."

Then there was a man named Lincoln. who was "illhoused, ill-clothed and ill-fed" but who also did mighty well for himself, and for the world. Just another of the army of men who started small and built themselves the hard way. All of which simply means that, in our history, many men who have blessed the world with their works, started young, worked hard for little pay, and built themselves the hard way. Would it be possible, do you suppose, to build men such as Lincoln, Edison, Carnegie, and others of their kind, the easy way?

Strange, isn't it-or is it?-that almost all of the world's titans, the truly great, are from humble origins and beginnings; most of them were "ill-fed, ill-housed, and ill-clad" in the beginning. For some reason known only to Omnipotence, this is true. Great men are a hundred times more likely to come from cabins than from mansions.

will of your fellows. The friendship, the trust, the good will, the benevolent interest of the folks you know is the Fountain of Youth, the Aladdin's Lamp of success, the dependable gateway on the road to success.

Be an agreeable, smiling, pleasant, friendly business man. Which goes for most any line of business. Every firm wants that kind of a salesman. Every employee wants that kind of a boss. Every business wants that kind of a head.

rn fact, everyone *"rrJ, a*nrrJ fikeable, lovable, kindly, agreeable, interested people wherever they go and whatever they do. You remember that sort of man when the otherwise valuable but less pleasant and friendly person is forgotten.

George M. Cohan's song, "Always Leave Them Laughing When You Say Goodbye," is fine business philosophy. The salesman who leaves each prospect feeling brighter and happier because of his call has traveled a far piece on the successful selling road.

For the Fountain of Youth is actually simply the good (Tell them Aou sau it in The California Lumber Merch,ant)

Club 9 Elects Goy Brqdt qnd Gets Right Down to Business

Gay Bradt of Wendling-Nathan Company, was unanimously named to captain San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 through the coming big 1960-61 club year at an election meeting held at the Leopard cafe, the evening of September 13. Gay, who also will chairman Club 9's coming big "Roundup" at the Jack Tar hotel (Oct. 7), has long been active in Club 9 affairs, having served continuously as an officer or director since 1954.

President Gay received the traditional gavel from Ben 'Ward, who will don his past-president's pin and get back to the full-time business of selling lumber for his firm, Ward & Knapp, of San Francisco.

The meeting officially got underway at 6:39 p.m. with free relaxers, compliments of J. E. Higgins Lumber Co., Wendling-Nathan Co. and Tarter, Webster & Johnson, Inc.

The traditional election banquet showed evidence that someone had really gotten "through" to the chef, because everyone agreed (and that in itself is unusual !) that the prime rib spread was just about the best for the price ($4.00 per) that they had ever come across in San Francisco, the "city of good eating."

Following a short, snappy introduction of the new

and-his "c1ew," discurqsien o_! Club_9's part in the coming National Forest Products lVeek, October 16-22, brough"t out the fact that several downtown banks had agreed"to donate room for Forest Products displays. And -so have various downtown stores, including -Mlcy's downtown.

Through the efforts of Owen Stebbins of The pacific Lumbe.r Company, large office holders in the Shell Building, windows in that building facing the huge Battery Stre6t pedestrian commuter traffic will also iarrv the Forest Products "message" during the Week.

h addition, the club has lined up Mayor Christopher to issue an official proclamation regaiding-the Week, with pretty lumbergals presenting the Mayor with a forest-product item. Further tie-in on the week, ihrough radio and- TV, will.be handled by CRA's Barney Bates and Jack Hays.

After a reminder o{ the club's coming annual Roundup, to be staged at the beautiful new Jack- Tar hotel in Sari Francisco, the evening of October 7, the first meeting of

the new club year was adjourned.

New officers and directors of San Francisco Hoo-Hoo Club 9 are:

President, Gay Bradt, Wendling-Nathan Co.; First vicepresident, Max Cook, The California Lumber Merchant; second vice-president, Charlie White, White Lumber Company; Secretary, Art Wall, George Windeler Co., Ltd. ; Treasurer, Bob Nelson, Hobbs Wall Lumber Co.; First sgt.-at-arms, Dick Hogan, Van Arsdale-Harris Lumber Co.; and Second sgt.-at-arms, Chuck Dickinson, California Redwood Association.

Minutes of Meeting of Morch | 8, | 960 Placerville lumber Co., Smirh Flot, Golif" Plant Tour

During the morning, the new mill for small logs and drying facilities were inspected. All lumber cut is second giowth, principally ponderosa and sugar pine and white fir. Major production items are decking and starter boards. Logs are decked under sprays and passed through a Nicholson debarker to the band head saw operated together with a riderless carriage. Log cants from the headsaw are transferred to a 4{' gang saw with no special attempt being made to saw for grade because of the nature of the logs. All bark free residue is sent to a chipper where fines are separated from the chips, the fines being blown to the

burner and the chips blown directly into rail cars. An oilfired boiler was used for kiln steam production; and according to Joe Gibson, 25 gallons of oil dried approximately 1000 bd. ft. of lumber.

Luncheon was hosted by the Placerville Lumber Company at the Blue Bell Cafe, Placerville.

Business Session

The meeting was called to order by President Grubb at I :30 p.m. The president thanked Joe Gibson (kiln operator) and Bob Weston (partner of Placerville Lumber Co.) for hosting plant tour and luncheon. The minutes of the January l5 meeting were read by the secretary and adopted as presented.

The Nominating Committee consisting of Ray Brown, Jim Jacobson and John Silva presented the slate of officers for the coming year,I9ffi-61, as follows:

President-Joe Hughes, Hughes Lumber Co.; First Vice President-Doug Skrimager, Associated Lumber & Box Co.; Second Vice President-Joe Gibson, Placerville Lumber Co.; Secretary-Treasurer-Harvey H. Smith, Pacific SW Forest & Range Experiment Station.

Nominations from the floor were then called for, and Bartdn Ecklund and Eric L. Ellwood, both of UC Forest Products Lab, were nominated as Secretary-Treasurer. Ellwood withdrew as a nominee.

Technical Session

The guest speaker, Niel Long, director of architectural services, California Woodwork Institute, was introduced by the secretary. Mr. Long described the Woodwork Institute as comprised of members who specialized in detailed architectural millwork encompassing. much custom building. Cabinets, miscellaneous internal fixtures, windows, and doors comprised the bulk of production. Woodwork fixtures for schools and government institutional buildings constituted a large proportion of Institute business. Mr. Long described the business as being highly competitive. and also indicated that materials which were competitive to wood were making inroads on fixtures which have conventionally been constructed from wood. Faultv construction or construction from faulty materials meint expensive replacement or refinishing besides strengthening the case for architects to look for alternate materials.

Mr. Long described his position as working with architects in an attempt to obtain realistic specifications for millwork as well as the fundamental business of promoting the use of wood.

The most important factors relating to drying which bothered the millwork industry were stated by Mr. Long to be (a) uniformity of moisture content, (b) pitch bleeding, and (c) case-hardening.

In the discussion which followed, several points were made. Many defects relating to level of moisture content, uniformity of moisture content, and casehardening would be reduced if the architects and millwork institute laminated their heavier members rather than specifying solid

First prize (his favorite brand, of course) went to Mary Sheldon, Znd prize to Sallye Bissell, Weyerhaeuser Lbr. Co. ; 3rd prize to Phyllis Hawkins, Wall Dry Kiln, and 4th prize to Corrine Adams, H. M. Nelson Lumber Co. The remaining pies were auctioned off, bo almost every girl could take dessert home for her family dinner. Not only was the pie contest

fun, but the committee also had planned lucky games, Dart Board g'ames, etc., so-it was a busy, happy afternoon, after the superb 1 :00 p.m. luncheon.

The breezes from the Pacific Ocean kept all of the girls cool-sitting on the patio at Marguerite's home. After the many days of heat, it was a welcome respite from the humdrum of work.

2OO Northern Cqlifornio Lumbermen in Golf Tourney

Some 200 Northern California lumbermen attended the 5th annual Northern California Lumbermen's Golf Tournament held at the Sierra View Country Club in Roseville,

September 8, with sunny skies and 8&degree weather prevailing.

A smooth-running tournament from start to finish, the event was chairmanned again (for the fifth year) by CalIda Lumber Co. sales chief, George Duff, assisted by Cecil Schiffner of Nevada City. Assisting on the loud speakers and keeping the scores were Mmes. Nell Caddel, Louise Allyn, Roberta Mani and Erva Duff.

The big outdoor barbecue that evening was handled aptly by the male members of the Sierra View Country Club, with barbecued chicken or very fine barbecued fresh salmon flown in from the Coast.

Total evening attendance for cocktails and the banquet rose to 225, a record for the event.

Winner of the "big one," the Low-Gross trophy, was decided by the flip of a coin, with Bob Voegtly, LambertVoegtly Lumber Company, proving the more deft of hand than Art Seamans, Seamans Moulding Co. Both men shot identical 77's for the course.

In the Low-Net department. Oroville dealer Bud Miller edged Bill Toms, Frtintier Redwood, Inc., by one stroke, 77-12-65.

In the Class "A" division (0-10 handicap) it was Del Pugh on top (79-10), the toss of a coin giving second position to Ed Urton (78-8) over Ed Anderson (80-10). , Class "8" division winner was Ed Dier (83-13), with a five-way tie for second place between Al White (84-12), Walt Stuermer (84-12), Hal Hartzel (85-13, John Bechen (85-13) and Dewitt Smith (83-11).

| 960 Residenticrl Building Over 1959

The value of new construction put in place in February 1960 amounted to $3.6 billion, according to preliminary estimates of the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce. This was 4/o below the January level, less than the normal seasonal decline between January and February, and 2/o above the February t959 value.

Spending for private residential construction declined by less than the normal seasonal change to $1.4 billion. This was 7/o less than in the preceding month but 2/o over the February 1959 level.

The total value of private construction expenditures in the first two months of 1960 was $5.4 billion, 7/o above the total for the comparable period in 1959. Each major type of private construction shared in this over-the-year advance, including residential buildings, for which outlays rncreased 2/o to $2.9 billion.

A pogtcard from Rotterdam, The NetJrerlands, postmarked Sept. 12, brings the news that Dorothy and Hal Brown of the former Woodhead Lumber Co.. Los Angeles, are now abroad. Writes the recent president of the Southern California Retail Lumber Assn.: "About a month and 15 lbs. more since L. A. Having a gland trip, Expect to be back about 11,215 if the dough holds out prices have skyrocketed terrific. These old cities are all rock and poor pickings for a lumberyard unless you stock petrified wood. Best regards to all-Dorothy and Hal Brown."

Harry C. Blelle spent Sept. 7-8 in the Redding area calling on mills for the Arrowhead Lumber Co., San Bernardino. He also attended the Bar-B-Q at Roseville on Northern California Lumbermen's Golf Day and spent some time with his brother Ea,rl K., and father, Earl M. Blelle, who are forming their own wholesale company in Sacramento.

Winding up his successful F ar East business huddles with the Japanese plywood industry, IHPA President Charlio Schmttt, of Atkins, Kroll & Co., and the missus spent a week in Carrnel Valley getting reacquainted last month.

Another postcard at hand is from Harry Whlttemore, who pens, "Pat and I decided to see California first this year. We visited Yosemite for a week, then came down to Bass Lake, which we think is a wonderful

The Eil Fountalns, Sr, and Jr. of Los Angeles, reported good dove hunting on the open- ing day in Imperial Valley. There could have been trouble, they claim, if the guns would have lined-up properly.

Something of a legal load record was handled last month when Carmel Builders Supply Company's Ken',vorth truck (the "Blue Goose") loaded and delivered 35,998 b.f. of 2X8 dry white fir selected decking. The order, placed through Hedlund Lumber Sales, was picked up at l'orward Bros. Lumber Co. in Redding and the load f'rossed out just under 51,000 lbs,

A clipping at hand from the Art Ryon column in The Los Angeles Times reports the columnist's meeting with Lathrop K. Lelshman on the evening stroll in Balboa. Writes Ryon about the executive of the Crown City Mill & Lumber Co., Pasadena: "We window-shopped in the island village and, on the way back to the ferry, encountered Lathrop K. Leishman sitting idly on the wall under a street lamp watching the passers-by. 'Lay,'who is highly successful in the lumber business in Pasadena and was president of the Tournament of Roses Assn. several years ago, was musing about a Mediterranean cruise he and his family are taking in November. We chatted briefly about shipboard life and then we walked on and 'Lay' sat down on the wall again."

Nelson Lumber Co., Montebello, spent the last two September weeks basking in the sun and swimming pools around Phoenix for her annual vacation.

Harry McCa.ll, who represented Clay Brown & Company in Oakland until that oflce was recently closed, is now on the road in the Valley region for Western Lumber Sales of Stockton.

Don "Jetaway" Jewett, general salesmanager of Independent Building Materials Co., Torrance, spent the first of September covering the Pacific Northwest for IBMC and also spent several days in San Francisco looking over office locations.

Those statistically minded thieves are back in SaJr Francisco again. Ike Zafranl, owner of Harbor Lumber Company down by F isherman's Whart, went down to the ofrce to do a little Saturday work the 10th of September and found he'd been cleaned out of office equipment again the first time being in April of this year. Just in case the clerical burglars plan further business with lumbermen, here's the list of the loot: one electric IBM typewriter (tan), two Friden calculators (gray), one Remington manual typewriter (black) and one Odhner adding machine (gray).

Don Muller will concentrate his sales efrort in the southern area, including Orarge, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Imperial counties, it was said.

Jcpon Plywood Exporters' Associotion Announces Suspension of Portion Of July-December Voluntory Gluoto

Information just received from the Japan Plywood Exporters' Association announces export quota suspensions o1.40/o for Lauan hardwood plywood and 20/o for indigenous hardwood plywood destined for export to the Americas, in an amount of 93.8 million surface sq. ft.

This suspension does not apply to a carryover of 60 million sq. ft. of the unused quota of January through June. The suspension and the resultant quota apply to the second half of 1960 and take into account the fact that a substantial portion of the third quarter quota has already been shipped.

As revised, the original quota for the second half of 1960, including the carryover, will be reduced to 232.2 million sq. ft. for the second half, making a total quota for 1960 of 590.2 million sq. ft., a reduction of 169.8 million sq. ft. from 1959's quota of 760 feet.

Japan Plywood Exporters' Association announces that in the event consumer demand for the second half later exceeds the 232.2 million feet authorized, that all or a portion of the 93.8 million sq. ft. suspended can be reinstated so as to prevent an artificial shortage from developlng.

JPEA announces that the suspended quotas for manufacturers have been decided only for the third quarter. but total quantities of manufacturers' quotas aie expected to be the same as for the exporters for the total year 1960. The revised manufacturers' quota for the third quarter stands at 126.2 million sq. ft., with Lauan accounting for 97.3 and indigenous hardwood plywood accounting foi28.9 million sq. ft.

Santa Cruz, Calif.-Grand opening and open house of the new San Lorenzo Lumber Company headquarters were held Friday and Saturday, August 19-20, at 41st Ave. and the Santa Cruz-Watsonville Freeway. The official opening of the new buildings marked a huge expansion from the former offices at t26l Soquel Ave., according to Robert Butcher, who is the manager and a co-owner of the business with the Steiner Lumber Co., Oroville, Calif.

Under roof of the post-and-beam wood building are some 3720 sq. ft. of spacious modern sales area and 6400 sq. ft. of storage area. An additional storage building has 3360 sq. ft. of floor space. The new facilities cost more than $100,000. The yard, which handles building supplies for commercial contractors and the do-it-yourself trade, maintains a million b.f. of lumber in stock. Manager Butcher will also make it a policy to maintain the latest materials.

A feature of the new building is the use of wood paneling in the sales area to show actual installations, including species of cherry, walnut, oak, birch, ash and mahogany. The firm, which moved to the new three-acre site in July, employs 14 persons, including Malcolm Hayford and ,Joe Dutra, who were pictured with Dealer Butcher in the announcement in The Santa Cruz Sentinel-News.

The Open Ffouse hours at the new yard were 8:00 a.m.I 6:00 p.m., both days, and many valuable awards were given.

Bob Butcher and the Steiner Lumber Co. have had the yard since 1957 but its history extends back far beyond that. According to Butcher, it received the present name in 1936 when owned by the late James M. Maddock. Before that the yard was known as the Sunnyside Lumber Co. Back further, Tilden Lumber Company operated the retail yard. At the turn of the century the operation was a sawmill and box factory.

, Dealer Butcher went to Santa Cruz in 7917 with his

parents, completed school work in various logging returned to San Cruz in McCormick Ave. with his

there and then left the area and'sawmill enterprises until 1957. He makes his home at wife and five children.

NBfffDA Resionol lleeting in Son Frqncisco Sporks ldeq of Regulor Quqrterly Sessions

A regional meeting for Northern California members and guests of the National Building Material Distributors Association was held September 13 at the Jack Tar hotel in San Francisco, with association manager S. M. Van Kirk presiding. Although organized principally for an inventory iontrol message by E. E. Gene Fahrenkrog, the possibility of starting regular quarterly meetings for Northern California NBMDA members was also discussed.

The luncheon meeting began with introductory remarks by Bill Grieve, head of BMD, Stockton, who urged the group to consider the possibility of holding regular quarter-

ly meetings for Northern California members for the purpose of working more closely together. Some 25 such regional meetings among NBMDA are now being held. NBN{DA now reDresents some 730 warehouses from coast to coast doing clbse to a billion dollars worth of business annually.

Before introducing Fahrenkrog, Van Kirk gave the group a quick progress report on the Association's activities to date and urged a close look at just what they were selling. "We feel," Van Kirk stated, "that any distributor doing 20/o or more of his total business in any one product is, indeed. very vulnerable."

Fahrenkiog, a highly successful St. Louis distributor, went further into the mysteries of inventory control and "policing." One interesting ratio produced by Fahrenkrog (one which could tell us in a hurry whether we should stick it out, or sell the business and open up a laundry somewhere) dealt with return on investment. The total of all current assets (receivables taken before reserve for bad debts) divided by annual profit (before taxes) should show from 15 to 20/o, he pointed out.

Another interesting ratio discussed, one which dealt with the administrative staff (excluding salesmen and the warehouse boys) was the one where you divide your gross profit by your administrative staff and come up with a figure close to $32,666 per employee which is what it's supposed to be unless you're cheating !

Surprisingly enough, Fahrenkrog tried this one on many firms doing an annual business ranging from 3 million to 15 million a year, and the variance was negligible.

Because most distributors pay very close attention to their receivables, and because in most cases their fixed assets and expenses are pretty constant, further business im-

provement can only come through a closer look at inventory.

. Using a St. Louis IBM service, Fahrenkrog checks his iuventory for "suspect" lines (ones which do not "turn" four times a year), or items not returning 60/o on his investment. These items are then labeled r'suspect" and further study is given to his investment in each of the lines, the gross profit received from each of the lines and, finally, whether to continue carrying the line.

Stella RoachL. A. Home Fumishings Mart

John R. Mercier-Southern California Plywood Association Miss Stella Roach, director of publicity, Los Angeles Home Furnishings Mart, indicated great willingness to include National F orest Products Week publicity in news releases from the Home Furnishings Mart to metropolitan and outlying publications. She stated, however, that it was too late to include any publicity of this type in their releases for the Home Section and Pictorial Living Magazines included in the Sunday papers. Space for this type of publicity is

committed three or four months alread of time. Miss Roach will distribute bumper stickers at the Home F'urnishings Mart. She also advised that the Mart would feature a wood-dinette display during National F'orest Products Week. The committee was especially pleased with this announcement inasmuch as Los Ang:eles is the second largest furniture-producing area in the United States, and recogrrition of the committee's efforts by this outstanding and important industry will be of great assistance.

Miss Roach also volunteered to supply Gleeson Powers statistical information pertaining to the furniture industry which he might use in the luncheon program booklet, and volunteered photographs relative to her industry which might be helpful in the preparation of the booklet.

James Forgie presented for general consideration a design for an emblem developed and submitted by F rank Daluiso. This very attractive emblem was designed to be silkscreened on plywood and protected by a clear lacquer coating. The general comment was excellent but it was decided that lack of time prevented its use this year and it was finally agreed that use of this emblem would have to be deferred. F rank Daluiso stated, however, that the emblem would be used in various cabinet manufacturers' displays in Department of Water and Power locations.

Mr. Osterman.reported that the California State Building would not be available for a display because of certain long-established policies. Bob Graham reported that excellent display positions had been arranged in the Los Angeles Harbor area, the Huntington Park area, the San Fernando Valley, the Los Ang'eles Chamber of

Commerce, and the Los Angeles Times Building. A good Orange County location is pending.

George Scrim reported for the Luncheon Committee that the head-table guest list would include about 20 persons who would be the general chairman, the speakers, and distinguished guests. Invitations were being sent to the Mayor, the President of the City Council, the head of the Building and Safety Department, to the Board of Supervisors, etc.

Gleeson Powers reported that material was still being assembled for the luncheon handbooks but that excellent progress was being made. They will be offset-printed and would be for general distribution to the luncheon guests.

Ed Fountain showed some beautiful color pamphlets entitled "Why Wood is Best" which had been prepared and were available from the National Wood Council. Mr. tr'ountain informed us that these .would be available in quantities from the National Wood Council, and he was requested to secure a quantity sufficient for distribution at the various displays locations. Mr. Fountain also informed the committee that the displays his company was preparing would be a free-standing cedar wall paneling display approximately 4'x6'. He also showed the committee some beautiful photographs from the American Institute of Timber Construction which he announced would be available for display in the luncheon dining room.

Mr. Osterman informed the group that the Department of F orestry will conduct a program at the Kiwanis club, Knickerbocker hotel, Hollywood, in the near future, (Continued on Page 53)

Notl. Foresl Products Week

(Continued from Page 50) and at this meeting the Department of tr'orestry will place special emphasis on National Forest Products Week. Stanley McDonald is going to try to arranS'e a similar type of program with the cooperation of the Department of F orestry at the Vernon Rotary Club. The commiftee was very pleased to learn that Mr. Osterman had personally written and prepared a number of ten-second, twenty-second, and oneminute spots for use on television and radio time available to the Department of F orestry. The Department of Forestry would feature National Forest Products Week prior to and during the Week.

John Rider informed the committee that he had been working with Metro-GoldwynMayer Studios, who had expressed a willingness to prepare five-and ten-minute films for National Forest Products Week use, but due to technical difficulties and the shortness of time it was sugg'ested that we postpone this until next year. On the other hand, M-G-M will make a number of stills with a theme of "Glamour in Wood." M-G-M will help plant these pictures in newspaper advertising in conjunction with their motion picture, "Atlantis."

Bob Graham reported for the Public Relations Committee. Mr. Graham showed us an ad which had been draivn up quite quickly at the request of Finance Chairman Essley. This ad urged the support of all in the wood industry for National F orest Products Week. It was to appear in the September 15 issue of The California Lumber Merchant. He also informed the committee that a publicity release on our

luncheon speaker, Mr. Antoville, was being handled through the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce by Mr. Todd Fast. Mr. Graham also informed the committee that, as the result of a conference with the vicepresident in charge of public relations for Sears Roebuck & Company, that Sears would use our bumper stickers in certain displays in their retail stores, especially in departments that used or featured wood, such as carpenter-tools and power-tools departments. The Displays Committee will feature a display of Sears Roebuck wood products in a Huntington Park display location. Mr. Graham also announced that Sears may use the theme of National Forest Products Week in their furniture ads prior to and during National Forest Products Week.

Vice-Chairman Forgie announced that the next meeting of the committee would be held at the Chamber of Commerce, September 28.

Respectfully submitted, John R. Mercier, Secretary.

A native of New York and a Michigan State grad, Ames received a "ground-up" training in lumber with Engler Huson Company at Grants Pass, Oregon, and was salesmanager of that concern when he moved to Sacramento to join B & M Lumber Co.

Tisdall, who joined Nikkel on August 15, was formerly associated with Cloverleaf Lumber and Winton Lumber Sales Co. in Sacramento, and received the majority of his lumber training with the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Co. at Anderson, California.

We're Theref Now They've Got on 'lnstont Floor'

A new, low-cost approaeh to floor systems for residential and light commercial construction has been perfected in laboratory and field tests by the Douglas Fir P\rwood Association. Called Insta-Floor, the panelized system was first useo last Fall in a research house at Champaign, Illinois. Components for the floor are available to builders from subscribers to Plywood F abricator Service, Inc., an affiliate of DFPA.

The system requires a minimum of floor framing, with girders set 4 feet on center. These can be of any conventional material suitable for the span, including solid beams, built-up beams or plywood box beams. Where box beams are used, they must be fabricated to close specifications, preferably under PFS quality control.

Although its economies increase with the amount of floor area involved, Insta-Floor costs range from 35d to 4OA per square foot in experimental applications by builders of small homes. Allowing for the addition of underla5rment and flnished flooring, the completed floor cost ranges from 80d to $1.00 psf.

Reduction of labor accounts for nearly all the savings. In a timed test late last year, Chehalis, Washington, builder George Osborne laid 1170 square feet of Insta-F'loor, including all supporting members, in just under 10 minutes. Although his six-man crew was familiar with the Lu-Re-Co component system, other builders could make proportional savings in time.

Ilore's how the system works:

Basically, fnsta-Floor is made up of halfinch 4x8-foot fir plywood panels, with stringers pre-attached 16" o.c. across the panels. These units are supported by beams set 4 feet o.c. The panels are dropped in place and fastened to the beams in one of two ways, eliminating all cutting and fitting on the job and all nailing except that required to fasten the panels down from above. No cross blocking is required except that already in place on the plywood panels.

Box Beams Used

The method followed in the Chehalis homes used a 10-inch deep plywood box beam with top and bottom 2x4 flanges, glue-nailed to ft-inch fir plywood webs. This beam was used over a crawl space and re-

No, 4-lnsta-Floor details, dimensions. quires supports 14 feet o.c, The beams are set into S-inch deep pockets preformed in the foundation and rest on concrete footings at the center. Ledger strips of 1x2 stock are shop-applied so that the re-sized stringers on the panels will rest on them. The floor panels overhang the stringers two inches and are joined and fastened by being power-stapled to the top flange of the beams. Ledger strips are used on the outside courses of panels and rest in preformed ledges on the foundation.

The second fastening method eliminates the ledger strips and adds a 2x4 spline on edge along the top of the beam. In this case, the stringers rest directly on top of the beam and are connected with nails at the common spline. The only difference is in the plywood overhang at the stringer ends.

Stplfica^nt Savlngs

Another builder, this one in Muskegon, Michigan, also was able to come up with some significant cost savings through the use of fnsta-Floor. C. C. Johnson, of Johnson Bros. Builders, says fnsta-F'loor saved $39.40 over a conventional floor system for each house the first time he tried it. He feels that this saving will amount to about $75 for an averag:e-sized house once his crew is familiar with the system. His components were fabricated by Plywood Com-

ponents Corp. of Grand Haven, Mich., a Pf,'S subscriber.

An important feature of the floor is its dimensional stability. Requirements for manufacture of thp panels and box beams (where solid lumber is not used) call for re-sized, kiln-dried lumber. Where the floor is applied over a crawl space, the beams should be wrapped in polyethelyne filrn unless a moisture barrier is used below them. The Washington builder, who used pockets pre-formed in the foundation, and a moisture barrier over the crawl space, found he got satisfactory results where only the beam ends were wrapped.

The comparatively wide differences in per square foot costs are caused by the different fastening methods and the difference in raw materials due to the distance from the source of manufacturer.

Access Is Easy

There are a number of definite advantages to the system in addition to its low cost and high speed of application.

Where access to the crawl space is desirable, any number of panels may be left unfastened until time to install underlayment. This allows carpenters to work around subcontractors and makes it possible for the builder to get more favorable rates from electrical, plumbing and heating subs.

In addition, where the beams are set in, the house is 4 inches closer to the ground than with conventional construction, and one whole course of siding, extra porch flashing and other material is eliminated. T'he set-in beams also have the effect of making every man "four inches taller" on the job and help give the house a groundhugging look.

More information, including the names of local manufacturers of Insta-Floor components, is available from Douglas F ir Plywood Association, 1119 A Street, Tacorna 2, Washington, or from PlJrwood F abricator Service, Inc., 3500 East 118th St., Chicago, ilI. See

Sharp declines in San Fernando Valley construction during April_were blarned on a tight-money market by Los $_ngeles Building Department Superintendent Gilbert E. Morris. He reported J Valley totaiof $19,037,060 worth of new building', compared to $32,414,811 in the same month of _1959. The Valley normally accounts f.or 45/o of Los Angeles' building volume, but tallied less thai ZS% during April.

The value of building permits issued by Los Angeles this April totaled 947,121,288, compared to 953,265,643 in the city last April.

The value of Los Angeles County permits issued in April.-($26,989,785) was !/o above lisf year, but nearly $7 million less than the March figure. The county buildin! volume continues to increase, however, with a four-monthi

total of $116,097,650, more than $4 million above the like period in 1959.

The young boy was registering for the first day in school and, when the teacher asked him his name, he answered:

"'Washington, ma'am ; George Washington."

The teacher smiled and said:

"That's a mighty fine name. Are you going to try and be like him?"

"Like who, ma'am?" asked the boy.

"Like George Washington," she said smilingly.

The boy looked puzzled and distressed.

"Ma'am," he said, "I don't see how I can help being like George Washington, 'cause that's who I am."

And there is another story of the same sort:

The little boy applied for a job and said his name was Henry Ford.

The employer remarked, "That's a mighty well-known name, isn't it?"

The boy answered:

"Well,-it ought to be; I've been delivering groceries around here for two years."

panded their operation to Mountain View, where they established the large "bulk" yard which was to become so familiar to Peninsula builders, small and big alike.

_ Although the company's big Mountain View operation has-.now giv-en_way to its larger Port of Redwood City installation, Hubbard & Johnson continues to do business in that_community through the acquisition last Fall of the old Schopke & Burke yard, which has since become one of the leading "shoulder-trade" operations iri the area. Manager at that point is James Webber, while the Los Gatos yard is managed by Chet's brother, Bruce Johnson.

It would be most pardonable for Owners Bud Hubbard and Chet Johnson to indulge themselves in a little mutual back-patting as they get the feel of their new general offices and revamped Port headquarters, for Dealers Hubbard and J_oh-ns9n have come a long, long way since they rang up their first sale down Los Gatos way.

From its "mama-papa store" beginning, Hubbard & Johnson has in two decades grown into one of the few -truly

"big" retail lumber organizations in the Bay area. With 96 men and women on its monthly payroll, tlie firm operates 27 pie-c^es-of rolling equipment,';nituaing four big highway rlgs, IU delrvery trucks, 1l lifts and two carriers . and if you don't think that doesn't represent a lot of lumber moving around every day, why nof drop by and take a look for vourself ?
