Producers hear cold hard facts

Western producers received a glimpse of how other people view their products at the 2nd annual meeting of the West Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau. The last session consisted of a panel made up of a retailer, a wholesaler, an architect and a code authority. The group was modlerated by J. J. Mulrooney, exec. vp., National' American Wholesale Lumber Ass'n.

Ross Kincaid, Western Building Material Association, said sharply fluctuating prices give the retailer the most problem. Not only from the standpoint of procurement but equally so in regard to the retailer's customer who must have some idea of future costs to operate profitably.

He told the TICLIB producers of the general feeling all across the country among retailers that reinspections are almost never found in favor of the buyer' "Then I hear a report on your quality control figures for last year in which the buyer was found correct in 65Vo of your reinspections. In addition, the low number of reinspections you had last year is an enviable record," said Kincaid, o'I think you should publicize it within the industry, pointing out that, obviously, the buyer gets a fair shake on reinspections."

Kincaid concluded by suggesting more marketing discussions between segments of the industry, such as this panel, would be a help to everyone.

Robert Wells, Tarter, Webster & John' son, speaking for wholesalers, called for more orderly methods in pricing procedures. Wells commented tlrat "I'm not ad' dressing myself to what the price is but rather where did it come from ? Sharp ups and downs are bad for everybody."

John Storrs, well-known Northwest ar' chitect suggested that lumbermen should embrace the concept of companion materi' als rather than try to promote structures of only wood.

Jack Meehan, Of{ice of School Construc' tion, State of California, gave a program depicting failures of wood construction. He suggested continued emphasis on the development of adequate strength data, es' pecially in the area o{ long-term loading stresses.

Ponel on Multiple Use

Mdltiple use management of timber' lands was discussed by a panel of six for' estry and industry leaders with William M. Ileaty of Shasta Forests Co. as modera' tor and chairman at a recent Shasta'Cas' cade Hoo-Hoo fl33 meeting.

The panel consisted of Paul Stathem, Shasta and Trinity National Forest; Clark Noble, Bureau of Land Management; W. E. 'oBill" Butler, U.S. Plywood-Champion Papers; Irvin E. "Irv" Toler, Publishers Forest Products; Roy Berridge, Dia' mond-International Corp.; and W. R. "Ruy" Williams, Kimberly-Clark Corp.

It was concluded that all in the lumber and wood products, pulp and paper, as well as recreation industry would benefit from multiple use.

Mystery Product to be Tested

Formica Corp. has chosen southern Cali' fornia to test market a new exterior verti' cal surfacing product that their research department has developed. Market tests will begin later this year.

W. G. Taylor, company president, who declined to give any details on the new product, said the particular market test area was chosen because of "the taste, temperament and design sophistication of Californians."

Theworld Of PALCO redwood

Since 1869, PALCO has produced premium quality redwood products for qualityconscious builders of commercial, residential and recreational structures. Here is an unique and versatile natural product with warmth, beauty and flexibility unmatched by any other building material. Through sustained-yield forestry management of PALCO timberlands, we have a perpetual supply of redwood timber. To you this means we can assure a continuing stream of quality redwood products.

PALCO is the oldest and most progressive redwood producer in the industry. Throughout these one hundred years, PALCO has researched and developed many products which have been accepted by the trade as standards of reliability. Typical of these are two currently produced PALCO products which offer builders and dealers many outstanding featu res-PALCO Reversibles, which are distinctively sawtextured on one side and smooth on the other, and PALCO Redwood Plywood which combines the beauty of redwood with the flexibility and convenience of plywood.

The Beauty of PATCO Reversibles

One surface of PALCO Reversibles is saw-textured; the other is surfaced smooth. The special texturing process which pro- duces the enriching fourth dimension of depth is no less precise than the process which is used to produce the smooth side. The PALCO saw-textured surface is free of loose fibers and splinters that often result from other saw-textured processes.

PALCO Reversibles are available as bevel siding and tongue-and-groove V-joint, in grades with faces that are clear-free of knots and knot holes. These Reversibles are made of PALCO Certified Kiln Dried Redwood that stays flat, straight and holds its original dimensions; resists checking and splitting.

Saw-textured or smooth-side out, PALCO Reversibles are equally suited to exterior or interior applications. Finishes are a matter of personal choice because redwood takes and holds any finish beautifully... penetrating stains, heavy-bodied stains, paints and clear sealers. Left unprotected and exposed to the elements, PALCO architectural quality redwood mellows in timc to a pleasing driftwood-grey color.

The beauty, stability, durability and flexibility of these outstanding wood products are only a few of their features. From the practical standpoint, dealers can store larger inventories of two productstextured and smoothin the space required for one.

The Beauty of PALCO Redwood Plywood

Now, PALCO has conrbined all the natural features of reclwood with the extra strcngth and economy of panel construction. Plywood sheets 4' x B',9' and 10' go up iast on exteriors or interiors, in residential and commcrcial construction as well as in vacation homes.

No forest proclucts are more prized for both beauty and performance than those made from redrvoocl. And PALCO Redw,oocl Plywood is produced with two distinctive textLrred faccs-saw textured and brush textured. Both are available plain or in a variety of grooved patterns for striking eftects of highlights and shadows.

All PALCO Redwood Plywood is exterior type, bonded with waterproof adhesives. Clear Heart and Select grades have a millapplied water repellent which provides an excellent surface for natural weathering, staining, painting or bleaching.

PALCO Redwood Plywood is manufactured to speciiications of U. S. Product Standard P.S. 1-66, of American Plywood Associatron's 303 Specialty Sidings, and complies with F.H.A. reqr-r irements and m.rjor regional building codcs. Each piece bears the ner'v California Redlvood Association stamp of approval and the D.F.P.A. grade trademark.

PATCO Offers largest Redwood Product Mix

PALCO redwood lumber is available in all standard sizes and Iengths. All products are available in straight or mixedcar shipments.
