Anyone can take orders over the phone.

But when it comes to fi.Uing ordere for wood products, that's where Willamette breaks rank.

Our salespeople know their way around the mill because they 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 your command.

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.
