Region claims market share increase in Western lumber shipments

South Rising Again?

Some 17.2 percent of the total domestic lumber shipments from Weslern mills were destined to the Southern states during the fint half of 1982. compared lo 14.2 percent for all of 1981. according to the Western'Wood Pnrducts Association. A relatively slronger horne building market in the region was credited for the increase. Meanwhile. the West continued to be its own best cuslomer for Weslern lumber. Even though the region slipped t.4 percent during the first half, it siill accounted for 66 percent of the domestic shipments. Califomia. the largest single market for Western lumber. dropped 1.3 percent. Also down in first half shipmenls was the North Cenlral region. lt accounted tor 12.6 percent of domestic shipments in the fint half, compared to | 3.9 percent in 198 |

Innovative Firms Create Business

American businessmen with ingenuity are nuturing business to fill the void of the recent slack times. An excellent example of a Western firm developing customers is Ganahl Lumber Co., Anaheim and Corona, Ca., which is offering woodworking and home improvement classes to pick up the slack and fill the educational gap created when their local community college district was forced to cut such classes from its curriculum.

Industry Leader to Retire

Frank E. Davis, for the past 18 years executive vice president of the Arizona Lumber and Builders Supply Association, will retire in May and become a consultant to the association, according to an announcement by James W. Stewart, Tucson,, Az., president.

Under Davis the membership of ALBSA has doubled and grown to the point where members supply over 8590 of the lumber and building supplies sold in Arizona.

During his tenure a strong wood promotion program credited with revitalizing the frame construction market in Arizona was launched. He was head of the committee responsible for the adoption of a realistic state mechanic's and materialmen's lien law. Also, Davis successfully led a drive to reduce workmen's compensation rates for the lumber industry and implemented strong education and group insurance programs.

A native of Oregon, Davis, before moving to Arizona, held executive positions with firms in Milton-Freewater and Hillsboro where he was elected to offices of leadership in numerous civic and business organizations.

Among his national positions, Davis has served on the board of directors of the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association and as president of the Building Material Association Executives which is composed of the executives representing the 27 federated associations of NLBMDA's I 5,000 lumber dealers nationally.

A recognition dinner honoring Davis will be held in Phoenix . The exact date has not been set.

Railroads Nudge Truckers

Using more competitive freight rates, the railroads took Western lumber hauling from truckers to reach 43.4v/o as compared to 40.8q0 in 1981.

This may be an indication that the railroads are doing a turnabout, according to .Jim Manning, Western Wood Products Association's transportation director. "Only 15 years ago, railroads accounted for 74.80/o of the Westein lumber shipments."

While truckers dropped from 54.60/o in l98l to 53.190 in 1982. water shipments of lumber fell from 4.6t/o to 3.5t/o
