Positive about 1994

EIROM Weyerhaeuser's view- l' point, the past few years have been excellent for the distribution industry and we're looking at 1994 as another positive year.

We have seen some very significant chimges in our building materials distribution business in the '90s. It has experienced a major repositioning the last few years and the business improvement plans laid in place have exceeded our expectations. For exarnple, we streamlined operations and management to make them more responsive to customer needs. In turn, we also reduced overhead and operating costs along with empowering employees to react more quickly and responsively to our customers' needs. Improved customer satisfaction and earnings have followed.
