EDITORIAL

editor-publisher

Clean up your act NE OF the more satisfying aspects of being

a purveyor of lumber, paint, hardware,

tools and home improvements, is that you personally are involved in helping people to live better.

Yet, too many times we see people operating these businesses who haven't stopped for a little self-examination. Look around. Is your store a mess? Are the buildings and sheds, parking lot, signing and general appearance more reminiscent of a "before" photo than the "after" appearance a seller of home improvements should present? The same applies to wholesalers and distributors as well. Whether there is public contact or not, a messy, shabby workplace detracts from morale and the effective conduct of a firm.

If you think this laxity doesn't communicate itself to customers and others, you're just kidding yourself.

Studies over the years have confirmed again and again that the investment in a proper store environment and pleasant working conditions pays for itself many times over.

For an occupation as meaningful as helping to supply the needs and wants of sheltering a nation, it is regretable indeed that we too often encounter the disheveled, dirty, depressing and even disgraceful in a business that should bejust the opposite. There is no good reason why every office and every store shouldn't be a model for the world to emulate. People should take one

look at your store or offices and say, "nowthat's what I'd really like my place to look like."

Be honest with yourself. Look around with a fresh eye, an objective view' If your little corner of the world won't elicit that kind of a positive response you'd better ask yourself why not.

Winter National Hardware & Home Center Show This new marketing service is an extension of the AHMAs activities in sponsoring and conducting the National Hardware Show each August in Chicago, the largest such trade event in the world. The Winter Show will allow exhibitors new access to their western markets, while providing buyers new oppodunities to conduct pre-season business with the principals of their major suppliers.

Approximately 900 exhibitors have thus far reserved in excess of 200,000 net square feet for the inaugural run of this premier winter hardlines event. They will be organized into two divisions. The Lawn Garden and Outdoor Living Division; and the Hardware, Housewares and Allied Lines Division.

Market dominance is ideal, but sometimes only dominance in certain

items is feasible. Remember, Dill stressed, "it's cheaper to give customers free counter tops than it is to knock 40v/o off the price of the cabinets.

Ken Marson, Marson and Marson Lumber, described how his firm had established a profit-sharing plan for employees and owners. He said it can help tie employees to your company,

fulfills a social responsibility and

aids in retaining key people.

Panel moderator Andy Boyd, Parker Lumber Co., summed it up.

"Be a leader," he said, "use what you know and give your people pride

in themselves and in the company."

The new president for 1983 is Merlyn Jolley who replaces Frank Powers of Seattle Lumber, the immediate past president. For other of-

ficers and directors, see the box accompanying this story.

Next year's convention is set for Nov. 4-8 in Portland, Or., at the Red Lion Motor Inn, Lloyd Center; showcase at the Memorial Coliseum.

WBMA's under 35 group, the Young Westerners, then addressed ways to get employees involved in

profit making. Panelist Rick Barnes, Knoll Lumber and Hardware, said profit must be explained in terms employees can understand. Motivation should be positive; money and fear are short term only. Recognize achievement.

Mike Bates, Seattle Lumber, said

the seven steps were: (l) com-

municate company goals, (2) let them

know what's expected, (3) training, (4) innovation and creativity should be encouraged, (5) reward good per-

formances, (6) enthusiasm must be generated from the top down, and (7)

build confidence in your leadership.

/l S A RETAILER, you know Fthat some advertisements work and some don't. To help you achieve a consistent level of effective, salesmaking advertising for your business, here is a simple plan, put together by advertising experts after studying thousands of successful

retail advertisements.

The plan is based on newspaper advertising, because newspapers are the medium most retailers use. An ad in the daily newspaper produces im-

mediate sales results. People think of ads inthe paper as shopping information they consult before shopping.

The objectives of your advertising are twofold: (1) to keep your present

customers informed of Your mer-

chandise, your sales, and Your specials; (2) to bring new customers

into your store.

I. Planning Your Advertising.

(1) Set an advertising budget in line with your sales goals. Estimate your gross sales for the coming year.

Be realistic in considering your sales goals for this period (including possible expansion) as well as those of

ing allocations should generally conform to these figures, but you may want to spend more on a specific item

(1) Create a distinctive advertising style and stick by it. Effective ads not only draw customers to your store, they also build the "image" of your store. Your ad must instantly convey your store's personality. Develop a recognizable look or "format."

Dataline svstem.

And we don't stop there. Working with your staff, we make sure that every program is running smoothlg, efficientlA, profitablg.

It is also commonplace for dealers to achieve payback on investment within eight months of operational startup.

A California dealer uncovered all the answers he needed when 45 of our customers responded to his inquiries. He now relies on his own Dataline System.

Coping in tough times themes conference ESPITE the distractions of Palm Springs, members were present and accounted for at the business meetings as the Lumber Association of Southern California held its 32nd management conference and annual convention.

Topics covered a range from pursuing excellence to finance, transportation, customer service and changes in the wood market.

Elections were the first order of business with Jim Frodsham, South Bay Forest Products, elected new

president; Milt Johnson, Home Lumber, lst v.p.; Ed Fountain, Jr., 2nd v.p.; Phil Butterfield, sec.; Al Newkirk, treas.; and Wayne Gardner, re-elected exec. v.p. at the Nov. I l-13 meeting.

Bank of America economist Dr. Eric Thor forecast a weak recovery;

housing starts 2590-3090 above 1982; a double digit prime lending rate in '83 accompanied by home mortgage rates between 120/o -74V2 s/0, dropping to l09o in 1984. "The West won't outpace the country," he forecast, saying that Southern California has

Adapting sales and service to changed market conditions was discussed by a panel composed of members of Second Growth, the LASC's under 35 group. Lead off panelist Bill Sullivan, Golding Lumber Sales, said his firm had adjusted by, among other things, assuring suppliers, re-evaluating ac-

counts, collection procedures and becoming more aggressive in sales to their dealer customers.

Retailer Geoff Rue, Chandler Lumber, stressed that they had to be certain that their customer could sell newly introduced items. He said "the best sale is made with the ultimate

Brent Bouslog, Ganahl Lumber, observed that they had intensified their efforts with existing customers, rather than seeking new ones. It had

proven a profitable method for them, he said.

Next speaker, transportation expert David Benson of Hampton Affiliates, Portland, Or., forecast more reload centers and increased use of inter-modal shipments between the

Pacific Northwest and California.

Plywood Makers Settle Suit Georgia-Pacific Corp., Weyerhaeuser Co. and Willamette Industries Inc. have agreed to pay $165

million to end a l0-year-old classaction lawsuit, which charged the companies with conspiracy to maintain high plywood prices.

All three companies deny any involvement in illegal activities.

Robert E. Flowerree, chairman

A AmCO for-

and chief executive officer of Georgia-Pacific, said, "We feel that settling this litigation is in the best interests of our shareholders, despite the fact that we know we did not fix plywood prices. We previously won on the same issues, facts and evidence in the Federal Appeals Court.

"However, because of the risks and expenses inherent in litigation of this size, we felt it was best to settle these cases and put them behind us. " Weyerhaeuser and Willamette also said that the settlement was made in order to avoid litigation risks and ex-

penses. Over a three-year period, Georgia-Pacific has agreed to pay

$99 million, Weyerhaeuser $37 million and Willamette $29 million.

Among the charges levied against the companies was that they charged

"phantom" freight rates as part of a conspiracy to maintain high prices.

A T OUR last meeting with the Arizllona General Contractors we rnade the decision to go in with only a clean-up

bill which would: (1) Change preliminary notice to best known address and or legal description. (A legal description is onlY needed in case a lien has to be filed.)

(2) Describe completion by a notice of completion by the general contrac-

tor. The material supplier would

then be sure of the 90 day filing deadline.

(3) Change any language in bill that is not clean to be fully understandable.

We had discussed introducing a bill on

"Stop Notice" separately. I am going to

recommend we delay this action until 1984 and try to recover home improvement liens and single family dwellings.

These would be major changes which would not cloud the clean-up bill scheduled for introduction this Year.

Wood hijackers have been raising havoc with both the state parks and the national forests. Since the geographic areas of many state parks and all of the national forest lands are usually isolated, it is an easy task for most wood hijackers to move into an area with their heavy equipment and remove several hundred cords undetected. The price of cord wood ranges from $180 to well over $230 in the metropolitan areas of California.

As the winter season approaches, stocks of kerosene heaters are appearing in member stores. The past two years showed a boom in sales of these heaters.

The California state law prohibits the use of kerosene heaters for residential use unless they are vented according to codes, but customers are purchasing without regard to codes.

It is also required that the seller of these heaters have conspicuously posted a warning to the effect that they are not intended for residential heating unless vented according to codes.

A Star ls Formed are connecting devices ^ Starplates for forming do-it-yourself-geodesic buildings. Eleven pre-engineered steel connector plates assemble 25

equal-length wood struts into a

bolted framework, in sizes from 3'to

14'wide. _ According to East-West Design, Inc., using their kit that retails for

Computer Matchmaker Benjamin Moore & Co.'s new computer color matching system, consisting of three components and

an optional fourth component, was developed in direct response to the

service needs of dealers. The svstem is said to be easily operated by a paint dealer with minimal training.

Using the system, a dealer can ar-

rive at a formula for custom paint colors in minutes. The formula, or prescription, can also be typed out with the aid of the optional line printer. Each prescription contains coded information describing the base and finish to be used and gives the exact number of shots required of each colorant in order to reproduce the custom color.

"knowledge and enthusiasm ofgood people" was something they could provide that the chains couldn't.

"Good personnel is the most important factor," Newkirk stressed. He added that they tried to keep their in-

dustry price reporter. He sees more mills becoming involved in export; more Western lumber staying in the West; a growing role for Southern plywood; and lumber requirements changing as housing is downsized.

He also noted that financing changes

would have a major impact on the housing market.

PEI.IETRATING OIL FINISH CUST0M HOME design uses Lock-Deck from Potlatch Corp. to dramatize a massive cethedral ceiling. The laminated wood product requires no finishing although semi-transparenl stains can be apolidd. A factorv-app'lied acrylic finish is available in a variety of bolors. Lock-De'ct< is manulaftured at Lewiston, ld., and Warren, Ar.

'aD v

Penofin, a penetrating oil finish and sealer, preserves the natural color, grain and beauty of wood. A special Redwood and Cedar penofin will enhance and protect siding and decking.

Field tests have shown that the transparent finish which incor' oorates Brazilian Rosewood oil, activated by a leadless dual catalytic system, rejects over 9Oo/o of the sun's ultraviolet rays thus eliminating the cause of checking and discoloration.

A m ildew and water resistant agent prevents nails from bl eedi ng and provides superior protection.
