Remodeling is seen as an ever more important component of future markets. Inland's thinking is that a big part of the strength of lumber prices recently was due to remodeling, figuring that the market was far hotter than an annual pace of 1.5 million housing starts would indicate.

A continued role is foreseen for the l-2 man office wholesaler who is backed up by a good buyer. As the industry saying has it, you can always sell it if it was bought right.

With Inland Lumber's planning, controlled growth and constant monitoring of their control programs, the firm is again demonstrating the kind of foreward thinking that has brought them from new company to one of the largest independent lumber wholesalers in the U.S. in just over 30 years. It is a remarkable achievement, but then it's a remarkable company.
