ARTICLE I—SCOPE OF THE REGULATION
Section 1 Prices higher than ceiling prohibited, (a) On and after June 9, 1943, regardless of any contract or other obligation, no person shall sell or deliver, and no person shall buy or receive in the course of business, any Douglas fir or other West Coast lumber for direct-mill shipment at prices higher than the maximum prices fixed by this regulation, and no person shall agree, offer, or attempt to do any of these things.
(b) Prices lower than the maximum prices may, of course, be charged and paid.
Sec. 2 What products are covered. (a) This regulation covers all Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga taxifolia), West Coast hemlock (Tsuga heterophyIla and Tsuga mertensiana) and all species of true fir (Abies) lumber produced in those parts of Oregon, Washington, and Canada lying west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains, and in California and Alaska. Any such lumber produced in these areas is covered, regardless of the kind of mill or plant in which it is produced.
The regulation applies whether the particular item is specifically priced in the price tables or not (except switch ties and cross ties, which are covered in Maximum Price Regulation 284¹—Western Primary Forest Products).
(b) If a mill is located in Oregon, Washington, or Canada near the crest of the Cascade Mountains, or in California, and has customarily graded and sold its lumber under the Western Pine Association Grading Rules, it may apply to the nearest office of the Office of Price Administration for special permission to use the maximum prices established in Maximum Price Regulation No. 94,² instead of prices established in Maximum Price Regulation No. 26. Such an application may be made by letter, and should be supported by evidence of the mill’s actual practices in the past.
Sec. 3 What transactions are covered—(a) Direct-mill shipments. This ceiling applies to all shipments originating at a mill, no matter who the seller is, and no matter whether he usually is known as a mill, wholesaler, retailer or anything else. It does not apply to sales
¹7 F.R. 10477; 8 F.R. 6544.
² 7 F.R. 10848; 8 FK 859, 1138, 4118.
out of distribution yard stock. (The prices for yard sales may be found either in Maximum Price Regulation No. 215 or in the General Maximum Price Regulation, depending on the nature of the sale and the purchaser.) A shipment is regarded as originating at a mill if the lumber reaches the purchaser without ever becoming an integral part of the stock of a distribution yard. A sale is considered a sale out of distribution yard stock only if the lumber was a part of regular yard stock at the time the sale was made. For example, if a retail yard takes an order for a defense housing project, and then brings the lumber from a mill, puts it in his yard, and delivers it as needed, the sale is subject to this regulation.
(b) How to tell a mill from a distribution yard. The term “mill”, as used here, covers what are known in the trade as sawmills, planing mills and concentration yards. Three types of establishment are described below: the first, (1), a typical sawmill or planing mill; the second, (2), a typical concentration yard; and the third, (3), a typical distribution yard. An establishment which resembles (1) or (2)_ more than it does (3) is considered a mill; and one which resembles (3) more than it does (1) or (2) is considered a distribution yard:
(1) “A typical sawmill or planing mill” is an establishment which is chiefly engaged in manufacturing lumber from logs or rough lumber by sawing or planing; which is located in or near a lumber producing area; which makes and sells chiefly Douglas fir and associated species of lumber;
(2) “A typical concentration yard” is an establishment which concentrates and prepares lumber for commercial shipment, which keeps in stock mostly Douglas fir and associated species of lumber, which has its lumber brought in chiefly in rough green form by truck from small local sawmills and sells chiefly for rail shipment, and which has been located at its particular site to be near the lumber producing area;
(3) “A typical distribution yard” is a wholesale or retail lumber yard which gets lumber from mills or other yards; unloads, sorts, stores, and resells or redistributes it; which regularly maintains a varied stock of lumber from different regions; which gets its lumber mostly by rail and sells mostly for truck shipment; which is equipped to make quick deliveries of many different items of lumber; and which has been located at its particular site in order to be near a lumber consuming area.
(c) New yards. In order to prevent violation of this regulation by unneces-
GPO—OPA 3838—p. 1
sary routing through yards, the Office of Price Administration will not recognize distribution yards set up after January 5,1943, unless the new yard writes to the Office of Price Administration, Washington, D. C., and proves that it satisfies the requirements *of the definition and that the purpose is not to get around this regulation by means of unnecessary yard business. Until approval is received, the new yard cannot consider itself a distribution yard for the purpose either of this regulation or of any other regulation issued by the Office of Price Administration.
(d) No quantity limits. There are no quantity limits on the transactions covered by this regulation. All direct-mill sales, large or small, are covered.
(e) “CPA yards,” as defined in Maximum Price Regulation No. 215,³ are considered distribution yards, regardless of the above requirements.
Sec. 4. What persons are covered. Any person who makes the kind of sale or purchase described above, for himself or others, is subject to this regulation. The term “person” includes an „individual, corporation, partnership, association or any other organized group, their legal successors and representatives, the United States or any government or any of their political subdivisions or any agency of any of the foregoing.
ARTICLE n—MAXIMUM PRICES AND TERMS OF SALE
Sec. 5. Basic prices and cash discount—(a) Basic prices. The maximum prices f. o. b. mill are set forth in Article V—Price Tables.
(b) Cash discount. If cash is paid, the maximum price must be reduced by the seller’s August 1941 cash discount. For example, if the August 1941 discount for cash was 2%, and the maximum price without discount according to this regulation is $30.00, the maximum price when cash is paid is $29.40. In any case, on specific written allocations issued by the Office of the Chief of Engineers, War Department, the terms 30 days net may be used regardless of former practices.
Sec. 6. Direct-mill retail sales. An addition of $3.50 per thousand board feet may be made on a sale of less than .18,000 ft. BM (or less than carload if by rail), to any buyer who does not purchase for resale, where the shipment originates at a mill and the seller:
(a) Sees that the lumber is delivered to the job site at such time and in such manner as the buyer specifies;
(b) Gives the buyer the privilege of exchanging the lumber and returning unused material; and
(c) Agrees to make good any shortage promptly from stocks kept on hand for this purpose.
The size of the sale is determined by the total quantity involved in the transaction without regard to whether it is broken up into smaller orders or deliveries.
, Sec. 7 Sales on delivered basis—(a)
³ 8 F.R. 3789, 5565, 6446.
Rail charges. (1) Only two methods of selling are recognized by this regulation. Any other method is prohibited, as a device to evade the ceiling by manipulation of freight.
The two permitted meth®» are: on a delivered basis using the^estimated weights in Article VII, or on an f. o. b. mill basis with actual freight (figured, of course, on actual weight) to be paid by the purchaser.
The two methods may not be combined in a single transaction; that is, a seller may not sell on a basis whi^h gives him the benefit of favorable estimated weights but requires the use of actual weights on items where estimated weights would be unfavorable to him. Note that sales described as “ceiling delivered”, or as f. o. b. mill with freight paid or included to a given destination, are to be treated as sales on a delivered basis. In such cases, the given estimated weights must be used. However, sales f. o. b. mill with seller to pay the freight to a stated destination and include it in. his invoice to the buyer is a sale on an f. o. b. mill basis, and settlement on the basis of the actual weights must be made.
(2) The estimated green weights may be used only when green lumber is actually specified and shipped.
(3) The transportation charge, when estimated weights are used, must be evened out to the nearest quarter-dollar per 1000 feet board measure (nearest 5 cents per 1000 pieces of pickets).
(b) Common or contract carrier (.other than rail). Where transportation is by common or contract carrier (other than rail) the only rule is that actual cost of transportation may be added to the f. o. b. mill ceiling.
(c) Private truck. When shipment is by truck owned or controlled by the seller, the following amounts may be added for transportation: For distances, up to and including 10 miles, $1.50 per M'; over 10 and up to and including 20 miles, $2.00 per M'; and over 20 and up to and including 30 miles, $2.50 per M'. Where the distance is greater than 30 miles, the seller may charge the amount of the railroad charge at the carload rate for the most similar haul or $3.00 per M', whichever is greater. Distance, as used in this paragraph, means the distance from the mill to the point of destination as measured by the speedometer. No addition may be made for the return trip.
(d) Trucking to rail shipping point. When a truck haul precedes rail shipment, as when a mill located away from a railhead hauls lumber by truck to the railroad, no addition may be made for the truck haul. However, in the following three cases a mill may apply for special permission to make an addition: - (1) Where the mill was located away from rail connections because it specialized in water-borne lumber, and where shortage of shipping has forced it to operate by rail;
(2) Where the mill, prior to the shortage of tires and gasoline, shipped lumber to the particular final destination prin
cipally by all-truck haul, and now wishes to convert to truck-and-rail haul to save tires and gasoline, and is a substantial distance from a railhead.
(3) Where a mill’s rail connection has been abandoned since September 5, 1941, and it has no comparable rail shipping point.
The application should be made by letter to the Lumber Branch of the Office of Price Administration, Washington, D. C., and may be acted upon by letter or telegram. The addition may not be made on quotations or sales until permission has been received.
(e) Truck delivery after rail haul. When truck delivery to yard or job site follows a rail haul, and is specified in the order, the actual cost of truck delivery may be added. This may include the actual cost of handling and reloading involved in transfer from rail cars to trucks.
(f) All truck haul. When an all-truck haul ends in delivery to the job site, no special addition may be made above the charges provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
(g) California mills. Regardless of other provisions of this section, if shipment originates at a mill located in California, and is delivered to the purchaser within California, the addition for transportation may be computed by multiplying the estimated weights shown in Article vn by the applicable freight rate from Portland, Oregon to the California destination.
Sec. 8. Mixed car or mixed truck shipments. (a) $2.00 additional per MBM may be charged for mixed car or mixed truck shipments. No addition may be made for mixed cargo shipment without special authorization under section 12.
(b) A mixed car shipment consists of four or more items as defined in paragraph (c) below, of at least 1000 board feet each. A mixed truck shipment consists of four or more items of at least 250 board feet each.
(c) For the purpose of paragraph (b), the following classifications of lumber of any different species constitute separate items:
(1) Boards, shiplap or strips.
(2) Dimension.
(3) Planks and small timbers, not exceeding 4" in thickness.
(4) Large timbers, exceeding 4" in thickness.
(5) Flooring.
(6) Siding.
(7) Ceiling or partition.
(8) Finish.
(9) Rough clears.
(10) Stepping.
(11) Mouldings.
(12) Silo stock.
(13) Gutter.
(14) Cribbing.
(15) Lath.
(16) Casing and base.
Sec. 9 Sales for export. Maximum export prices for lumber graded in accordance with “N” Export Grading Rules adopted by the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association and British Columbia Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers, Ltd.,
GPO—OVA 3838—p. 2
1929, are set forth in Article VI of this regulation. Otherwise, the maximum prices for export sales are governed by Second Revised Maximum Export Price Regulation.⁴
Sec. 10 Lumber produced in Canada. The maximum prices for lumber produced in Canada west of the crest of the Cascade Mountains and. sold in the United States shall be the maximum prices f. o. b. mill set forth in Article V plus additions for transportation permitted by section 7: Provided, however, That the amount of such addition may not be greater than if the shipment had originated at Seattle, Washington.
Sec. 11 Maximum prices for Alaska lumber, (a) The maximum prices f. o. b. mill for shipments originating in Alaska and delivered to points outside the continental United States shall be the maximum f. o. b. mill prices set forth in Article V plus an amount equal to freight under the Maritime Commission’s published freight rate from Seattle, Washington, to the mill’s shipping point, including surcharges, War Risk insurance, and wharfage and handling charges under the published Seattle Wharfage and Handling rate for comparable lumber.
(b) The maximum delivered prices for shipments originating in Alaska shall be the maximum price arrived at according to paragraph (a) plus transportation charges permitted by section 7.
Sec. 12 Grades, services, or extras not listed, (a) If a seller wishes to sell a grade which is not specifically priced in the price tables, or wishes to make an addition for special workings, specifications, services, or other extras for which additions are not specifically permitted, he must apply to the Lumber Branch, Office of Price Administration, Washington, D. C., for a maximum price. He must provide the following information:
(1) The requested price;
(2) A complete description of the item to be priced;
(3) The price differential between it and the most comparable item in the price tables, between October 1,1941 and June 1, 1942, from the seller’s own records, or if that is impossible, from the experience of the trade. If no established price differential existed, a detailed analysis of comparative value should be furnished.
(b) As soon as the request has been filed, quotations and deliveries may be made at the requested price, but the final payment may not be made until the price has been approved. Action on the request may be by letter or telegram.
(c) In all cases where special prices have been approved by the Lumber Branch of the Office of Price Administration under § 1381.62, paragraph (g) of the earlier regulation. Maximum Price Regulation 26, these special prices shall no longer apply if specific prices for the items are established by this regulation; but if no specific prices are established in the price tables, the price approved under the earlier regulation shall continue in effect.

ARTICLE in—SPECIFIC DUTIES AND PROHIBITED PRACTICES
Sec. 13 What the invoice must contain—(a) F. o. b. mill price. All invoices must contain a sufficiently complete description of the lumber to show whether the price is proper or not. Any working, specification, or extra which affects the maximum f. o. b. mill prices must be mentioned in the description. The amount added for these does not have to be separately shown.
(b) Charges for transportation. In all delivered sales, the invoice must show the:
(1) Point of origin of shipment;
(2) Destination;
(3) Rail rate, if estimated weights are used; otherwise the actual amount added for transportation;
(4) The words “Direct-mill shipment”.
(c) Delivery and related charges. Any separate charge which the seller is permitted to make for truck delivery after rail haul, or for trucking to railhead, must be separately shown on the invoice.
(d) Direct-mill retail sale. If the “direct-mill retail sale” mark-up is permissible and is added, this must be separately indicated in the invoice.
Sec. 14 Averaging out—(a) Different grades, classes or sizes. Different grades, classes or sizes of lumber may be sold and invoiced at ap average price if all of the following conditions are observed:
(1) The footage of each item must be shown separately, and a piece tally must be furnished for each shipment.
(2) The average price for the lumber actually shipped must not be higher than it would have been if all the individual grades, classes, and sizes shipped had been sold separately at the individual ceiling price.
(3) If the order is shipped in more than a single carload, truckload, or boat shipment the following invoicing and charging practices must also be followed:
(1) The invoice must show that it is part of a larger order and identify the order. It must also show the individual ceiling prices for the various items of lumber actually contained in each shipment, and the average selling price agreed upon.
(ii) The charges which may be made and collected on account for each shipment must not exceed the average price agreed upon or the total of the ceiling prices for the items in the particular shipment, whichever is the lower. Thus, if an average price was quoted on widths from 4" to 12", and if a car of all 4" was shipped, only the 4" price can be charged and collected on that car. But if a car of all 12" widths was shipped, only the average price quoted could be charged on that car.
(iii) Upon completion of the order the seller must render a final invoice showing the quantity of each shipment or delivery, the freight charge for each if sold on a delivered basis, the amount received on account, the total amount due on the order at the agreed average prices, and a reconciliation of the total amount so computed with the maximum
prices permitted by this regulation. Final payment and all necessary adjustments between buyer and seller are to be made upon the final reconciliation.
(b) Different freight rates. When a single order, for which a single flat delivered price was quoted and accepted, is shipped from two or more- mills to a single destination on varying freight rates, the seller may average-out the transportation charges. For example, if a wholesaler bids $33.00 per MBM on a single order of a hundred thousand feet of lumber, the ceiling price being $30.00 per MBM and the estimated freight $3.00, he can ship half of it on a rate resulting in a $2.00 freight charge and half on a rate resulting in a $4.00 freight charge.
(1) Where this practice is adopted, the seller must observe all of the following conditions:
(i) Each invoice must state that the particular shipment is part of a larger order and identify the order. It must also show the individual rates for each shipment or delivery.
(ii) The transportation charges which may be made and collected for each shipment or delivery, on account, must not exceed the average transportation charge figured on the entire order or the actual transportation charge for the particular shipment based upon the permitted estimated weights, whichever is the lower.
(ill) Upon completion of the order the seller must render a final invoice showing the*individual f. o. b. mill prices separately, the amount shipped from each mill, the freight charge for each shipment, and a reconciliation of the total amount so computed with the agreed delivered selling prices and also with the maximum prices permitted by this regulation. In the event that the sale was made at an average price for different grades, classes or sizes of lumber as well as an averaging-out of transportation charges, the provisions of (a) above shall also be observed. Final payment and all necessary adjustments between buyer and seller are to be made upon the final reconciliation.
Sec. 15 What records must be kept. All sellers and all buyers who, in any one calendar month, sell or buy 20,000 board feet or more of Douglas fir or other West Coast lumber must keep records which will contain a complete description of the lumber involved, the name and address of the other party to the transaction, the date of the sale, and the price. Such records must be retained for two years, for inspection by the Office of Price Administration.
Sec. 16 Prohibited practices—(a) General. Any practice which is a device to get the effect of a higher-than-ceiling price without actually raising the dol-lars-and-cents price is as much a violation of this regulation as an outright overceiling price. This applies to changes in credit practices and cash discounts and to devices making use of commissions, services, transportation arrangements, premiums, special privileges, tying-agreements, trade under» standings and the like.
GPO -OP A 3838—p. 3
(b) Specific practices. The following are some of the specific practices prohibited:
(1) Getting the effect of a higher price by changing credit practices from what they were in August 1941. This includes decreasing credit periods or making greater charges for extension of credit.
(2) Refusing, without good reason, to ship except in specified or restricted random lengths, or in mixed cars, or under other circumstances which bring the seller an extra return.
(3) Selling as specified lengths or widths, a specific lot or shipment of lumber which is substantially equivalent to random lengths or widths, or reselling intact as specified lengths or widths a specific lot or shipment bought by the seller as standard or random lengths or widths, unless specifically permitted in the price tables. This prohibition shall not apply to shipments or deliveries which have been sorted out as to widths and lengths and then resold.
(4) Grading as a special grade lumber which can be graded as a standard grade; or wrongly or falsely grading or invoicing lumber.
(5) Making additions for special specifications, services, or other extras which are not specifically permitted.
(6) Refusing to sell on an f. o. b. mill basis, and insisting on selling on a delivered basis.
(7) Failing to invoice properly and in accordance with the requirements of this regulation.
(8) Unnecessarily routing lumber through a distribution yard.
(9) Quoting a gross price above the maximum price, even if accompanied by a discount the effect of which is to bring the net price below the maximum.
(10) Making additions for kiln-drying, anti-stain treatment or other services, treatments, or specifications unless they are expressly ordered by the buyer.
(11) Getting a higher price by charging the buyer for ripping or resawing, or charging on the basis of an original size larger than the item actually delivered (for example, charging the price of 4 x 4 ripped to 2 x 4 on a sale and delivery of 2 x 4’s) except where the items ordered and delivered are nonstandard sizes not specifically priced in the tables. This prohibition has no application where the buyer specifies the larger size to be ripped or resawn into items of smaller size and the resulting items are priced higher in the tables than the original larger size; for example, the buyer may order 1 x 4 x 12' #2 Common, priced at $25.00 per MBM ripped to 1 x 2 x 12'. By buying the larger size ripped the price to the buyer is lower ($26.00) than it would have been had he ordered the 1 x 2 as such ($29.00). In this example the maximum price is $26.00,
(12) Making the buyer take something he does not want in order to get what he does want; for example, making a buyer who orders No. 2 Common take all the upper grades that develop.
- (13) Breaking up an order or appor
tioning deliveries in order to get the $3.50 direct-mill retail sale addition.
(c) Adding commission to ceiling prohibited. It is unlawful for any person to charge, receive or pay a commission for the service of procuring, buying, selling, or locating lumber, or for any related service (such as “expediting”) which does not involve physical handling of lumber, if the commission plus the purchase price results in a total payment by the buyer of lumber which is higher than the maximum price of the lumber. For purposes of. this regulation, a commission is any service charge or payment which is figured either directly or indirectly on the basis of the quantity, price, or value of the lumber in connection with which the service is performed.
(d) Combination grades. Lumber sold on combination grades may not be sold above the maximum price for the lowest priced grade actually named in the combination. For example, the maximum price for lumber sold as No. 2 Common and better is the maximum price fixed for No. 2 Common lumber. But it is permissible to quote with specified percentages of higher grades, provided that when the lumber is shipped, lumber of each grade is tallied on a board foot basis and invoiced separately at prices not in excess of ceiling prices for the respective grades.
Sec. 17 Adjustable pricing. Any person may agree to sell at a price which can be increased up to the maximum price in effect at the time of delivery; but no person may, unless authorized by the Office of Price Administration, deliver or agree to deliver at prices to be adjusted upward in accordance with action taken by the Office of Price Administration after delivery. Such authorization may be given when a request for a change in the applicable maximum price is pending, but only if the authorization is necessary to promote distribution or production and if it will not interfere with the purposes of the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, as amended. The authorization may be given by the Administrator or by any official of the Office of Price Administration to whom the authority to grant such authorization has been delegated. The authorization will be given by order, except that it may be given by letter or telegram when the contemplated revision will be the granting of an individual application for adjustment.
Sec. 18 Special pricing rules, (a) Where the buyer specifies restricted lengths or an average length and the shipment or order fails to conform, the entire shipment must be priced at the random length price (unless the agreed price is lower).
(b) Where the buyer orders a random length shipment, and the given percentages of lengths as specified in footnotes to some of the price tables are not met because there is too large a percentage of shorts, the excess shorts must be priced at the separate prices for the short lengths.
(c) Where random length shipments required to average a specified length
(e. g. 12' in the Board Table) fall short of this average, the price may not exceed that of the nearest shorter even length below the average length actually shipped.
(d) Where the order fails to specify the grade required, the seller may only ship and charge for No. 2 Common, unless otherwise agreed.
(e) Where the invoice does not specify the grade shipped or delivered, the price of the lowest grade in the shipment shall apply to the whole order.
(f) Where moisture content requirements are waived by the purchaser, the maximum price for the whole order, shipment, or delivery shall be the price herein established for green lumber. Where such a sale is made on a delivered basis, the seller may only use the given estimated weights for dry lumber in computing transportation costs.
(g) None of the additions permitted in the footnotes to the tables in Articles V and VI may be added to the prices of the various items set forth in the tables unless the order expressly requires the working, grade, condition, size, or length for which the additions are permitted.
ARTICLE IV—MISCELLANEOUS
Sec. 19. Petitions for adjustment or amendment—(a) Government contract's.
(1) The term “Government contract” is here used to include any contract with the United States or any of its agencies or with the government or any governmental agency of any country whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the United States under the terms of the Act of Marqh 11, 1941, entitled “An Act to promote the defense of the United States”. The term a^o includes any subcontract under this kind of contract.
. (2) Any person who has entered into or proposes to enter into a “Government contract”, who believes that the maximum prices established by this regulation impede or threaten to impede production of Douglas fir or other West Coast lumber essential to the war program, may file, an application for adjustment in accordance with Procedural Regulation No. 6B issued by the Office of Price Administration. As soon as the application is filed, contracts, deliveries, and payments may be made at the requested price, subject to refund if the requested price is disapproved or lowered. The seller must notify the buyer that the delivery is made subject to this refund.
(b) Petitions for amendment. Any person seeking an amendment of any provision of this regulation may file a petition for amendment in accordance with the provisions of Revised Procedural Regulation No/ 1⁶ issued by the Office of Price Administration.
Sec. 20. Enforcement, (a) Persons violating, any provision of this regulation are subject to the criminal penalties, civil enforcement actions, suits for treble damages, and proceedings for suspension of licenses provided for by the Emer-

GPO— OPA 3838—p. 4
gency Price Control Act of 1942, as amended.
(b) War procurement agencies and their contracting or paying finance officers are not subject to any liability, civil or criminal, imposed by this regulation. Persons who make sales covered by this regulation to war procurement agencies and buyers to whom lumber has been allocated by any such agencies are, however, subject to all the liabilities imposed by this regulation. “War procurement agencies” include the War Department, the Navy Department, the United States Maritime Commission and the Lend-Lease Section in the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department, or any of their agencies..
Sec. 21. Licensing. All sellers under this regulation, except mills, are licensed by Supplementary Order 18. This order, in brief, provides that a license is necessary, except for mills, to make sales under this regulation. A license is automatically granted to all sellers making these sales. It is not necessary to apply specially for the license, but a registration may later be required. The Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, as amended, and Supplementary Order 18 tell the circumstances under which licenses may be suspended. The license cannot be transferred.
Sec. 22 Grades. All grade and size terms and “paragraph” references appearing in this regulation refer to, and
have the meaning given in, the Standard Grading and Dressing Rules No. 12, issued by the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, effective March 1, 1943, or, in the case of export sales from the “N” .list, to the “N” Export Grading Rules adopted by the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association and British Columbia Lumber and Shingle Manufacturers, Ltd., 1929.
