Anyone can take orders over the phone.

But when it comes to fiUinS orders for wood products, that's where Willamette breaks rank.

Our salespeople know their wav around the mill becausethey go there often. They check the quality of the lumber and plywood first-hand, to make sure you're getting exactly what you've ordered.

Besides knowing their products, they also know your market. And when it's time to fill orders for your customers, the products you need are at yourcommand.

So if you're looking for a few good men and women to do business with, call Willamette.

After all, if we only took orders, we might as well sell fast food.

Instead of wood.

Court Deciding On Discounts

Whether or not manufacturers may legally discount prices to wholesalers and not to retailers will be decided by the LJ.S. Supreme Court. The court will review the case which, according to industry groups, "threatens to undermine perhaps the most common distributional arrangement in American business: the dual-channel system in which a manufacturer or supplier sells to wholesalers at discounted prices lower than those it charges directpurchasing retailers. "

Texaco is appealing the ruling in favor of l2 service stations in Spokane, Wa., which claimed illegal price discrimination since wholesalers selling to their competitors were charged less.

The recent Ninth Circuit Court ruling could be valid nationally if upheld by the Supreme Court.
