There's nothing new about "specials" in the lumber business. But at lnland, we've staded a special program to give our customers a better price on most standard lumber requirements. We call it "Unitization." By pre-packaging lumber into random length uirits, we reduce handling costs. The savings are passed along to our customers. And it also means we can fillcustomer orders even faster. Unitization l: one good reason for doing business with Inland... but there are a lot more.
