. Canadian forest industries July-December 1922. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. In the Dining Room—Built-in China Cabinet and Panelling in Western Hemlock pleasing effect when they are laid in alternate colors. As this is one of the first examples of thatched roof effects in shingles to appear in Toronto, it is causing a great deal of interest and favorable com- ment. Hot-dipt, zinc-coated cut nails were used throughout for laying the shingles. This was done with the hope of influencing architects, contractors and homebuilders to use first class shingle nails. Too often it has been found that the ordinary wire shingle nail does not give a service nearly equal to the life of the shingles. In this con- nection it may be noted that already a large number of progressive retail lumbermen are carrying a zinc-coated shingle nail which gives excellent results at a very small additional cost. Indeed, so small as to be negligible when the additional life of the roof is considered. Western White Pine was used for the exterior finish and proved itself highly adaptable to the somewhat delicate detail required for trim around the main entrance door. The rooms are completely furnished with Canadian made fur- niture and all lighting fixtures are installed just as they might be in any home of good taste. The cumulative effect of the whole has resulted in an exhibit which will have a great educational effect on Ontario homebuilders in the use of good Canadian grown woods for Canadian homes. It is also hoped that this exhibit will be of great service to retail lumbermen by showing the powerful effect of such a finished exhibit as an advertising and selling force. The propaganda of the manufacturers of substitutes must in time have a serious effect on the lumber business in general unless counteracted, and it would seem that there is no better way to sell lumber than by showing the people what can be done with lumber.
