Dealers And Treated Wood

(Continued from page 16) wood, and that it will silver out in color in a few years.

"We've promoted it with newspaper and radio advertising, and that has really paid off. When a customer asks about fencing, we acquaint them with pressure treated wood. It looks nicer and lasts longer than other species and for less money. More and more people are becoming aware of it for outdoor USES.

Dick Hotaling, president, Orange County Lumber Co., Santa Ana, Ca.: "We've been handling pressure treated 2 x 6 decking for a couple of years now, and have noticed a definite upswing in demand. You must remember that many contractors are slow to change. They stay with what they have been used to and are hard to swing over to a new product.

"ln some cases, pressure treated wood is a very good substitute for other species. It's priced right in there, good and competitive.

"Most of our customers are contractors. We have few do-it-yourselfers. Contractors sometimes are concerned that pressure treated wood will not take a stain or weather out attractively. I tell them to hose it down once in awhile and they will wind up with one of the most beautiful finishes ever. It colors to a very attractive silver graythe kind that some people will spend many dollars to obtain by staining.

"Our experience shows pressure treated wood to be catching on."

Russ Pulse, 99 Building Materials, Eugene, Or.: "We have a treated lumber display deck right here. It's the first thing a customer sees when walking into the yard. I'll bet we could have sold this deck forty [imes over.

"Last year was our first year selling pressure treated wood, and we had excellent acceptance. Results were outstanding. We've promoted treated wood in newspapers, on radio, and at a local home show, so customers come in and ask for this wood. Women definitely like ir. A woman will come in with her husband, point to the deck and say, 'Honey, let's get one like that.' And then she gets the husband to build it.

"Mainly our concept is to rely on good displays. Our yard has a serve-yourself approach, and it's working with pressure treated lumber. "

The Western Wood Preservers Institute points out that while many dealers have sill stock on hand, they need additional material in proper grades and treatment to sup- ply homeowners in the growing residential market. Member com- panies of WWPI can provide information about the correct grades and treatment for general consumer use.

To acquaint persons more fully with the facts about preserved wood, the Western Wood Preservers Institute recently introduced a question and answer folder. The consumer brochure answers basic questions about treated wood. The folder is available free in quantity, and may be ordered by dealers from their treated wood suppliers.

Corporate Commandments

He who can smile when things go wrong, has thought of someone he can blame it on.

He who keeps mouth shut when up to his nose will survive.

He who compromises will find it more expensive than the situations he is compromising.
