Wwpa Spring Meeting

(Continued from page 24) mulgated, hands being rung (as well as shaken), old friends found and drinks drunk.

While total registration was up marginally to 1058 from last year's 1012, no true estimate of the state of the industry is complete without an informal survey of the lobby and hospitality suites. While the crowds were ample, some expressed surprise that they weren't larger, given the generally good business conditions this year and the expectation of continuing strong business throughout 1984. The meeting was held March 13 - 16, as usual at the St. Francis Hotel, San Francisco, Ca.

In a forecast of industry conditions, H.A. Roberts said continued vigor in domestic markets can be expected to generate increased sales for western softwood producers.Robert s title was upgraded at the meeting from executive vice president to president, a cosmetic touch expected to aid

association's 45th annual convention at the Red Lion Inn, Sacramento.

The area was selected since this year's program will be directed toward legislative progress of the association. The plan is to brief dealers and spouses on critical is$es affecting our industry.Briefings will be conducted by either legislative aids or by agency representatives involved in the issues. Dealers will be provided with white papers and packets on the issues and will then visit with their individual assemblvman and senator at the state level.

The purpose of the visit will be to urge each legislator to support our position on key issues. A meeting with your legislator in his Sacramento office will have considerable impact. We need the help of all dealers to become involved in the legislative process.

People who bury their heads in the sand as an ostrich only achieve an earful of sand.

Many retail lumber and building material dealers are finding sand in their ears because they are hiding their heads from the influx of mass merchandisers into their market area. They hope the situation will go away, but the mass merchandisers keep coming in one form or another.

The do-it-yourself industry peaked M5 billion in 1983. That is enough of a market to entice a{ry corporate giant, even those totally unrelated to the building material industry.

One of the loudest cries from the independent lumber and building material dealers, nationwide, is, "What can we do about the rapid increase of mass merchandisers into our market afea?"

There is nothing you can do about it since the private enterprise system promotes competition, and the mass merchandiser has as much right to the market as any dealer. What you must do is retain your share of the market and hopefully continue to gain a bigger share.
