ORDER
Upon a petition duly filed, a hearing in this case was held before

Upon the entire record in the case, the Board makes the following :
FINDINGS OF FACT
THE BUSINESS OF THE EMPLOYER
The Employer, incorporated under the laws of the State of New
Mexico, is engaged in the retailing of lumber and building supplies
in Las Vegas, New Mexico. It operates a retail lumber yard where
it sells lumber in rough form or planed and cut. Adjacent thereto,
it also operates a retail store in which it sells various building sup-
plies. During the 12-month period ending September 1949, the Em-
ployer made purchases of approximately $100,000, consisting of
lumber, cement, paint, hardware, plaster, and other building materials.
All of the lumber was purchased in the State of New Mexico. Of
the other materials purchased, approximately $30,000 worth was ob-
tained directly from sources outside the State. During this same
period, the Employer's retail sales were approximately $200,000, all
of which were made within the State.
Without deciding whether the Employer's operations affect com-
merce within the meaning of the Act, we believe that its operations
are essentially local and that it would not effectuate the purposes and
