Millwork, Moulding Outlook

Richard W. ONeill, nationally known housing consultant and president, Housing Advisory Council, Ltd., told members of Western Wood Moulding and Millwork Producers that he projects," ...1.4 million new starts in 1975, TOVo of them single family," 'ofherefore," O'Neill said, "because of the higher percentage of single family starts, the market for moulding and millwork products should compare to the level of business if starts were 1.8 million."

In a presentation atW\44\,IMP's SemiAnnual meeting in San Diego, Calif., O'Neill struck out at government inefficiencies and their negative effect on housing and the economy.

Citing budget deficits and historical precedent O'Neill cautioned not to expect much help for housing from the federal government.

"On the brighter side", said O'Neill, "because of the steady upward trend in land and real estate values, a home continues to be a family's only real hedge against inflation. Couple that with the fact that, after all factors are applied, the U.S. can, in non-recessionary times, absorb at least 1.8 million new dwelling units per year, and the long term outlook is bright indeed."

During the business meeting, significant new standards for mouldings and exterior door frames were adopted by the moulding producers.

Copies of "From Tree to Tlim," an 80-p. salesman's guide to wood moulding and jambs, was introduced to the members. It is readv for distribution this month.

Replacing Macko in managing the San Jose center is Harry McNamara who has been managing the Oakland operation.

The new center provides complete wholesale wood products service for retail lumber and building materials dealers and industrial accounts.
