LUMBER SHED VIES
WITH SHOE STORES

AS q result of an innovation in the
lumber industry, the warehouse of the
H. C. Hansen Lumber Co. at Askov,
will take on new appearance short
ly. At least one section of 1t will
look more like an up-to-date shoe
store, its walls lined with attractively
labeled boxes, than the traditional
lumber shed with the rough ends of
loose boards sticking out at the be-
holder For the Hansen yard is plan
ming to introduce packaged lumber to
ome-Owners, home-modernizers, and
the building trades of this community.
Lumber users and lumber-buyers
will be interested in this new forest
product, not only because it looks diff
ferent from the boards they are &C
customed to, but also because 1t ac-
tually is different in important re-
spects," said Mr.. Hansen, owner of
the concern.
1T comes from the Weyerhaeuser
mills in northern Minnesota, Idaho,
and the Pacific Northwest, where new
ly invented equipment has been in
stalled to re-manufacture the lumber
after it has gone through all the Or
binary processes Of milling. The re-
manufacturing consists of re-butting
each board so that it is exact in di-
mension and so that each of it's ends
is perfectly smooth and absolutely
fOur-SQuare.
This gives the new lumber it's
b,,f
tant than that is the fact that it
produces a big economy in labor. For
it eliminates the slow process of
squaring each board by hand before
mailing it into the construction"
Because it is so accurately ma
chined, each group of from three to
six pieces, of standard length, is en-
closed in pair of brightly colored
end-caps.
These caps are of vital Importance
to lumber-users," said Mr. Hansen,
because they state the species of the
wood and the grade of the lumber.
This is guarantee of quality, for it
assures the building-owner that he is
getting exactly the grade of lumber
which he or his architect specified"
AS soon as the Four-Square stock
arrives from the mills and is ar
ranged in shoe-box fashion in the
local company's warehouse, Mr.. Han
sen intends to invite the building pub
lie to see the result of this develop
ment in lumber manufacture.

GROUND HOG DAY AND
OTHERS POOR PROPHETS

As we pass through the 40 days
following grounding day or Can
dlemas Day, as February 2 is called
abroad, it is interesting to line up
some of the other dates which are
popularity supposed to influence our
weather.
Meteorologists, unfortunately, have
no faith in any of these special days
or their connection with rain or sun
shine or heat or freezing. The Wealth
er Bureau Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture will tell you
frankly that the only reliable guide
to weather behavior is the record of
what has happened in the past, and
as such records show considerable
variety in the weather as a rule, the
same variety may be expected in spite
of the old almanacs.
Here are some of the old predic-
tons, all of which may be stoutly
discredited in any audience: "As the
list of January is, so will be all the
rest of the month" "The End day of
January Though itself already ruled
by the 1st) determines the weather
of February and also that of Septem=
ber." "The Sd day of January like
wise ruled by the 1st) is a model of
the coming March"
st. Peters Day, February %
(Which has already been regulated by
the weather on the I'd of January and
on Candlemas Day., is supposed to
serve as pattern of weather for the
next 40 days. 1t is not clear why the
period affected should so often be
40 days, except possibly for the ex-
ample set by Noah, but we find the
same prediction regarding the wealth
er following Pancake Tuesday; Ash
Wednesday; June 5, st. Medard's
Day; June 10, st. Protasius' Day;
July 8, the first dog day; July Is, St.
Swithin's Day; and August "A, St.
Bartholomew Day.
A brief calculation will show how
unfortunately these periods overlap
and either contradict each other or
plunge the world in vale of perpet-
ual rain. The best guide to the wealth

these dates will be found on 40 sue

THE HOME TOWN PAPER.

The merchants's relations to his
home town paper are supposed to be
those of an advertiser. That is a
narrow view. The home town paper
is an institution. The merchant can
no more escape its influence than
anybody else in the community,
whether he advertises in it or not.
Yet, as a consistent adyertises his
relations with the local newspaper
become definitely constructive. He
becomes a part of this institution
without which no community can ex-
press itself. Whatever its merit or
demerits, the home town paper is an
expression of the community. Liter
ally. it is the voice of the people" in
a sense that cannot hold true for any
other medium.
This institution keeps friends in
touch with friends. To the best of its
ability it answers Who, What, When,
Where, How, and Why? 1t brings
the individual out of himself. It
speaks the local language. It inter
prets community life. Week by week,
or day by day, it tells the story of the
town and county.
Most of us are SO accustomed to the
home town paper that we take it as
a matter of course. If we think any
thing about it at all, we think of its
deficiencies. These are present large
~ because it is run by fallible human
beings. The wonder about the home
town paper is that it contains so few
mistakes, not SO many.
To the merchant, especially, the
home town paper is an opportunity.
His business, too, is a local institu-
ton. Unless it finds some kind of
expression in the home town paper,
both the paper and the business have
to an important extent failed to func-
tion.N Each is affected somewhat by
every successive failure in this re-
spect.
1t does not cost great deal Of
money to advertise in the local paper.
Most advertisers are over-judicious
rather than extravagant. 1t is the
continual message that counts most.
Sporadic advertisements now and then
are Of doubtful value. Perhaps they
are better than no advertising at all.
Every advertisement placed by bust
ness house should blend into every
other advertisement it places. The
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1929-03-21

merchant should think in terms of a
campaign rather than in terms of the
single insertion.
Vast progress has been made in adj
vertising within recent years. Out
standing examples of it are to be
found in the national field. Locally,
however, advertising has much room
for development. Aside from one or
two of the big stores, the average
merchant in the average small town
gives too little study to the power of
advertising.
But conditions are changing. More
and more merchants are coming to
realize that they are losing money
and prestige when they are not to
be found in the advertising columns
of the home, town paper. This is one
of the healthiest signs in the field of
retail merchandising-The Montana
Record Herald.

Possibly the ancestors to these in
