fencing Not fust plywood, too

When we say fencing, we mean a complete fencing program. A full line of iedar: pecky boards, rough boards, posts and rails, grape stakes. A full line of redwood: rough boards, posts and rails, bender stock and lath. Everything you need to put together a fencing backage for a customer or to round out your own inventory.

Not just what you need, but when you need it and how you need it, that's our concern at Crown. Custom loads are our specialty. Whether you need a truckload or a unit, give us a call, we'll ship it today.

We'll even mix your fencing in with the other materials you need. Plywood, plywood sidings, Masonite sidings, pine commons, timbers, roofing, we've got it all. And it's as close as your telephone.

Remember, plywood is only the beginning of the Crown PlYwood storY.

USINESS SCHOOL professors are always arguing about whether it is better to start a company in good times or bad. Some figure that good times will sustain a new company until it matures, with the opposition concluding that if you start in bad times there isn't anywhere to go but up, assuming the new firm survives at all.

In their first three years in business, B & C Builders Supply of Sparks, Nv., went through both situations. In 1973 business nationally was so good, for instance, that more new housing was begun that year than in any year before or since. But by 1975, the building industry was dragged down by the worst recession the country had endured in 29 years.

How's that for having your ups and downs?
