level textbook on plywood the
product, its properties and con
struction applications has cli
maxed more than 40 years of

Store Employs Telephone

customers at department stores
mav soon find their dinners
interrupted by phone calls from
the store's collection department.
The insider's Newsletter reported.
Vocal badgering, says R. J.
Devsne. collection supervisor for
,!. C. Penney, works far more
effectively than the usual form
letter, no matter bow sharply
worded.
Penney, using tiie revolutionary
tieup with the Hell Telephone Sys
tem, has cut down on its cleri
cal stalf and slocked up on non
stop telephone operators who can
call a many as 50 customers a
day. Since instituting the system,
the store reports a fivi.ocrs an
nual saving in paperwork.
The program is made possible

expert on building codes. He has
contributed to tlie rapid expan
sion of the fir plywood industry
by winning recognition for struc
tural fir plywood applications in
codes all over the country. He
has also helped code officials es
tablish minimum standards lor
use of plywood in their localities.
When lie joined DFPA in M
to head up the newly-formed en
ginecring and research depart
ment, 20 mills were producing
from the phone company. Tile
store can pay a flat rate for
interstate calls and another fixed
sum for calls within the state.
The service is available on a
24-hour-a-day basis, but Devine
says Penney will use it only 12

customers who are at least four
months behind in their hills or
unavailable during the day will
be dunned at the dinner hour
5 .10 to 8 TO p.m.'.
Retailers, according to The
Newsletter are predicting that
other large chains will soon hop
onto the bandwagon, but serial
ly shops are not expected to try
the gimmick. One specialty shop
credit manager conceded that
"our customers would probably
pay tlieir bills more quickly if
we called them during dinner, but
thev'd also cloe tbetr ait-mints."

Perkins has been with the p 1 y
wood association, production has
increased to w here last year area
mills produced 9.4 billion square
feet. This year, procluctoon i
expected lo reach 10 billion feet
As his responsibilities multi
plied, Perkins was named head
of an expanded technical depart
ment at DFPA. As technical di-!
rector, he set up and administered
the plywood industry's voluntary
program of quality control. Per
kins' tenacity to get a job done
right has resulted in a qualitv
of plywood I mm DFPA member
mills consistently higher than
required bv the U.S. Commercial
Standard.
Another of his imimilattt con
tributions to the plywood industry
and to the buildma trades has
been the collection and analysis
of data showing the relationship
between gluc-Iine performance in
plywood under laboratory test and
in the field. Because of this, it is
possible to predict with anwing
accuracy, the performance of ex
terior-type plywood panels in ac-j
tual use.
He also was responsible for the
establishment of accurate crite
ria ior showing the advantages of
fir plywood in various construc
tion techniques and industrial aji-
plications.
Perkins developed the first en
ginecring data on plywod and
prepared the first DFPA Techni
at Data handbook. He also set up
the first testing labs and has
watched the testing program grow
from a small room in the base
ment of an office building to three
big labs in Tacoma.
From until retirement Per
ietal was engaged in specialized!
areas of plywood association ac
tivity including the preparation of
his textbook.
Perkins received his civil en
gineering degree from Cornell!
University in 1915. A couple of:
years after graduation, he was
commissioned in the U.S. Army
and subsequently saw combat ac
tion overseas during World War
1. After the Armistice, he worked
in the heavy construction field:
in the Eastern United States, then
erved as a construction engineer
with the National Lumber Manu
facturers Association. His nest six
vears were with the National
Committee on Wood Utilization of
the U.S. Department of Com
meroe. Perkins edited much of:
the material published by the
committee and was one of the
principal authors of the commit
tee's comprehensive reference
work. Wood Construction. He also
wrote "How to Judge a House"
lor the committee, a semi-techni
cal book for prospective home
owners which eventually sold over
lialf-a-millior. copies.
Iater. Perkins served with the
Department of the Interior as an
engineeer in tlie Subsistence
Homesteads section and as a civi
lian lumber engineer for the
Army's Quartermaster Corps.
A frequent contributor to tech
