A. Edgecumbe, president ot the Edgecumbe-N ewhara Co., Limited, Vancouver, and head of the British Columbia Shingle .Manufacturers' Association, in a recent letter to the "Canada Lumberman" states that, at a meeting of the Association held lately, it was decided that the mills close down during the first half of November. Practically 90 per cent of the plants in the province were temporarily idle. Those on the American side, which shut down early in Octo- ber, were inoperative for a month or more. The curtailment on the American side was from 85 to 90 per cent of the total normal pro- duction. Mr. Edgecumbe adds that the manufacturers of red cedar shingles on the Coast are convinced of the necessity for carrying on a progressive adver- tising and educational campaign in the East which, he believes, will result in an even larger and more progressive one than has already been launched. It will be conducted by the manufacturers during the coming year. In addition, the shingle producers are beginning to realize that it is necessary to change their methods, with the result, that Mr. Edgecumbe expects before very long, shingles will be marketed on a more business-like basis than in the past, a basis whereby continual fluctuations, such as have been the case with the product during the past year, will be discontinued and more stable prices J.
