COOPERATIVE PUBLICITY
So far as we have learned the lumber industry has not been
as cooperative as other major industries in setting forth the
good points of its use, in telling the public of its operations and
in encouraging greater use of lumber products in home building.
It is true that the West Coast Lumber association haa perform-1
ed what we consider a distinct service to the industry in setting
forth the advantage« in the use of lumber in the building trade
and have brought forth many interesting facts. On the other
hand the lumber substitutes have been quick to obtain all the
favorable comment possible on what ever at!vantage such ma-
erials possesses and have sought to obtain publicity by every
possible means.
Whatever expansion the lumber industry has made, such ex
pansion has been given little recognition by the industry itself.
When improvements are made, when new mills are constructed,
lumber operators more often assume the ‘‘hush ! hush! attitude One of a number of fascinating research laboratory demonstrations pre
because it is generally assumed that stories of such expansions sented at the General Motors Exhibit on Treasure Island, la that which
will bring about a false impression of prosperity and thus pos shows how the possible "telephone-television" of tomorrow may appear.
sibly lead to labor troubles. Other industries, however, have not
found it so and have taken newspaper and magazine articles as
a means of acquainting the public not only with the problems of
