Some of our finest woods went to build Sailing Ships and fine San Francisco Buildings

Since then, Allen and Higgins Lumber Co. was destroyed during the 1906 earthquake and fire, only to reopen in four days to help San Francisco rebuild after the catastrophe.

In the years that followed, we proudly supplied much of the exotic woods for such landmarks as William R. Hearst's San Simeon Castle, the Flood Building and the reconstruction of St. Mary's Cathedral.

After the ups and downs of the depression, the war years and another devastating fire in 1969, J. E. Higgins rebuilt again..,determined to offer a wider range of products, larger inventories and expanded customer seruices,

Now with 8 major distribution yards plus drying, milling and moulding facilities, this commitment to customer service continues with us today. In 1883, J. E. would have insisted on it.

We've been looking out for our customers' interests for more than 35 years. So when you're on the outlook for quality redwood and cedar products, rely on Capital Lumber Company: the independent that cares about his customer and looks out for him with quick service and kept promises.

Volcano Fries Wood

The devastation of Mount St. Helens in Southern Washington is being turned into a positive bY Ostermann-Scheiwe USA of Tacoma, Wa., which has purchased clear timber salvaged from inside of the charred logs.

The intense heat of the blast literally fried the trees and changed the grain coloration on many of them. A beautiful wood panel product made from the clears called Profilewood is being marketed for the architectural and d-i-y markets. A second panel product is on the market as Mount St. Helens Hernlock Paneling.

The high quality paneling is unusual in that it is attached to the wall with clips which eliminate nail holes and hammer marks as well as much of the splitting and cracking normally caused by face or blind nailing.

The wood, 3/8 in. thick, comes in4 inch wide pieces with a face width of 3 % inches. The clips fit into a tongue on each side of the face.
