.104 SELLING LUMBER 



Mr. Jones : Well, it would not go in B and better if it is not 

 properly matched. 



Mr. Lennox : What is the retailer to do ? 



Mr. Jones : He could only use it for cheaper flooring a 

 cheaper grade. 



Mr. Austin : W T hat percentage of wane is permissible on the 

 reverse side of B and better car siding? By what rule do they in- 

 Wane on spect wane on car siding ? What rule governs the inspection of 

 Car Siding ^y o 2 ca r siding developed from running No. 1 car siding? 



Mr. Jones : There is not supposed to be any wane, according 

 to the specifications, on the reverse side of B and better car siding. 

 However, practical grading would allow a small amount of wane 

 that would not affect the use of the stock. We have sections in 

 the grading rules which really authorize us to do that. The varia- 

 tion from any given rules are numerous and suggested by practical 

 common sense. Now, as to the basis on which No. 2 common car 

 siding would be graded, we have nothing in any grading rules gov- 

 erning No. 2 car siding. We have had several requests for inspec- 

 tion, and we have had to refuse to inspect them until the purchaser 

 and the shipper might come to some decision between themselves 

 as to a basis on which they would be willing to have the inspection 

 made. 



Mr. Austin: What basis would you suggest then, Mr. Jones, 

 to arrive at? Simply sell a man No. 2 car siding, which is just as 

 standard an item today as No. 2 fencing or No. 2 flooring what 

 basis would you suggest ? 



Mr. Jones : My suggestion would be that the inspection should 

 be made on the basis of No. 2 common fencing. Now, if you ask 



me why I say that, I will say this : If you will notice the specifica- 

 A Basis for / AT , ... 



Inspecting tions for No. 1 common car siding, it is identical with the specifica- 



Car Siding tions for No. 1 common fencing, so that the droppings from that 

 should not be any poorer than the droppings would be from running 

 No. 1 common fencing, and should be graded on the basis of number 

 2 common fencing. 



Mr. Austin: The same would apply to car lining as car 

 siding? 



Mr. Jones : Car lining and roofing is all the same ; applies the 

 same way. 



Mr. Brooks : What is the rule about B and better finish that 

 is shipped, which has evidently become cupped after it has been
