After work, Don really relaxes and becomes an orchardist in Washington's lush, Cashmere Valley. He knows he can leave office worries behind. Ask him about it. He'll tell you how Willamette makes his job a lot easier by efficiently filling re- quests for top quality lumber and plywood products... sheathing, underlayment, studs, dimension, clears, boards and timbers. No matter how large or small the order, he and 1,000 otherwholesalers -count on us to deliver the goods right when they're needed.

Ourvast timber holdings provide more than 50 percent of our timber needs fdt our building mate- rials plants. This gives us the capacity to keep them supplied through the toughest assignments and most demanding requirements. And we can meet industrial specs for cutting, routing and shaping.

We depend on distributors for their knowledge of the market. And we're always there at the other end of the line, ready to back them up when they need it. We're pleased when we can make their lives a little less hectic...with more time to relax. So at the end of the day, folks like Don Hansen can stop worrying about plywood and think apples and pears.
