Oak Keeps Furniture Lead

Oak continued to lead all woods showing an increase in both the Dallas, Tx., and San Francisco, Ca., furniture shows in January, according to Arnold Curtis, president of the Hardwood Lumber Division of Weyerhaeuser Co.

Both oak and pine were more widely used, dominating the western market in 821 groups at 44.80/o and the southern market at 45.20/o in 1l13 groups. These figures showed an increase over 360/o in 895 groups in San Francisco in January, 1986, and 40.6% in l0l8 groups in Dallas at the same time.

Cherry was the third most PoPular wood at 7 .20/o in the west and 8.6% in the south. Mahogany gained in the San Francisco market but was slightly lower in Dallas. The reverse was true in burls with Dallas showing a gain to 9.10/o and 8.70lo in San Francisco. Other close grain woods of alder, maple and birch droPPed slightly in popularity along with a drop in painted, printed and plastic faced tables.

Super-finishes with consumer identification were introduced at both markets. 3-M with Scotchgard surfaces on wood, particularly table tops, is expected to influence future popularity of fine furniture. DuPont and Monsanto, which have imProved acrylic blends, will be working with major finish manufacturers in the cross-linking process. Mohawk, Valspar, Guardsman, Sherwin-Williams and Spruance also are readying consumer programs.

Many industry leaders exPect that high performance furniture will increase the desire of the 30-45 year old buying groups to acquire furniture for an investment just as theY buy high quality automobiles and electronics. If the present 10/o of disposable income spent on furniture can be increased to 20/0, it will mean many millions to the industrY.

Treated Fir Restores Bridge

McFarland Cascade, Inc., Tacoma, Wa., has shipped a quarter'million board feet of pressure treated Douglas fir lumber for restoration of the country's oldest existing suspension bridge, the Delaware Aqueduct, now a toll bridge across the Delaware River.

Built in 1846, 35 Years before the Brooklyn Bridge, the Delaware Aqueduct was originally designed as an aqueduct, carrying coal through a system of canals. It has fourspans totaling 534 feet.

In an effort to replicate the original bridge materials, pressure treated Douglas fir was chosen for its strength and size. Restoration was a National Park Services Project.

Group Shipping Can Cut Cost

In the face of escalating transportation costs, shippers are looking for ways to cut expenses. Shipping as a group has been proposed as one solution to the problem. Discussed below are three ways this can be effective,

(l) Buy transportation as a group and retail it to their members.

The railroads are, with few exceptions, entirely willing to make reduced volume rates to large shippers or shipper associations. This is true whether it's a boxcar movement, a piggyback movement, or a steamship container movement. Shippers, working through a transportation agency, can buy in volume and pass on those savings to the members with better service. The better service is essentially based on data link satellite communications enabling one call on a free nationwide 800 number to trace a shipment anywhere from origin to destination regardless ofthe carrier that has it at the time of the call. That is the way of the future.

Include the cost of association traffic management in the unit cost of each outbound shipment. One of the big problems of traffic management is who will pay the bill. The benef,rts of traffic

What can the shipperc do as a grcup to rcduce their transportation costs?

management go to the person who bears the freight cost in the first sense, and to the shipper who gets and keeps business because ofbetter freight rates in the second sense. One of the good spin-offs from wholesale buying and retailing through one organization is that the cost of traffrc management can be added to each unit shipped (usually $5 to $10) and that pays association traffic management costs. It is then borne by the person getting the benefit, the one who pays the freight bill. It's still better than ifthey ship base retail without any volume discount. At least three associations are doing just that in the Pacific Northwest now. It helps the budget ofthe association.

(3) Expand and intensiff the association freight information gathering setup to keep members informed on what the competition is doing, to hold markets and expand them, to lower unit costs.

A good transportation information bulletin will become more and more important in the future as ICC regulation dies. More and more facts will have to be obained from the marketplace for the dozens of members of the association w_ithout the eyes and ears to individually keep up with competitive rate and service changes. They will need every possible help to stay competitive in the markets all over the nation.
