CO. ompetitor!"

When you see our trucks on the road, you can be sure they are headed for lumber dealers. That's because when we say,"Wholesale Only," we mean it. Since Inland Lumber was formed in 1946, we've done business that way. This is one good reason for doing business with lnland . . but there are a lot more.

We are direct mill shippers. Our inventory of competitively priced West Coast forest products is the largest in Southern California. We have complete milling facilities. Besides lumber, we handle a full line of other building supplies.

When you are looking for a wholesale lumber company that believes in giving its customers service not competition call Inland.

The Progress of q Lifetime

fT has been little more than sixty yearc since a I small band of lumbermen, scientists and conservationists initiated purposelul forest management in the United States. The results since then have been amazing, especially in view of the fact that the l3 percent of the nation's commercial forestland that industry owns produces a third of the total harvest of forest products. A recent National Forest Products Association publicatio,n points out some of the more significant accomplishments:

(l) Complete restoration of Southern forests which sixty years ago were generally believed to be on the verge of extinction.

(2) Establishment of sustained.yield, multipleuse forestry concepts in all tree growing regionsEast and West.

(3) Increases in tree growth to the point where the nation now grows annually more timber than it harvests, despite the fact that forests have become one of the most important means of satisfying both the material and recreational needs of the American people.

(4) Reduction of forest acreage loet to wildfire from 30.5 million acres in 1939 to 2.5 million acres in 1965with subsequent timber savings equivalent to half the current harvest for forest products.

(5) Higher forest wildlife populations, includirg spectacular increases in once declining species, also greater variety of animals and birds.

(6) Major increases in recreational opportunity for the general public.

(7) A steady flow of lumber and plywood on a scale that helped make possible the construction of more than 2 million housing units in I97I; also an expanding supply of pulpwood for newsprint, food and beverage cartons, paper napkins and towels and other products.

(8) Growth of the nation's forest-based industries to levels where they currently employ nearly two million people and economically support a grand total exceeding 17 million p€rsons.

Such results are all the more amazing when it is considered that they have been achieved through the improvement of forest management on a comparatively small portion of the total U. S. acreage classified as commercial forestland. While some scientifically managed forests exist in the public and non-industrial private sectors of ownership, by far the greatest concentration can be found on holdings of the forest-based industrieso which constitute just 13 percent of the nation's 510 million acres of commercial forest. land.

The next time you hear one of the widely quoted misconceptions regarding America's forests, ask if they are aware of the facts above. If not, make them aware of what the real facts in the case are. The need for widespread dissemination of accurate information is of vital concern to all connected with the industry and, finally, to every citizen of the country.
