Home Depot Grows in West

Home Depot has established regional headquarters for Arizona and California in Fullerton, Ca.

The property also will house a 103,000 sq. ft. national distribution center and a 100,000 sq. ft. retail warehouse store, due to open in the fall.

A staff of 30 will operate the regional headquarters which will oversee expansion of Home Depot into California and Arizona. Seven stores are expected to open in California which as yet has none. Two will be in Orange County, the one mentioned and a second in Huntington Beach yjust, south of Los Angeles. The San Diego mar,ket also is a targetfor penetration.

The DC will receive Home Depot's imported merchandise which now enters the country through Florida. Trucks will transport it to the 3l planned Home Depot stores in Arizona and the Sunbelt.

Orange County home centers are already in a price cutting blitz prior to the fall opening of the two Home Depots. Past experience has shown that established stores are forced into a price cutting warbyHome Depots' in- tensive advertising and competitive prices, often before the actual opening in a specific market.

Wood, Inc. is 25 Years Old

On June 28th, 1960, three Colorado lumbermen signed the incorporation papers for a new organization to be known as W.O.O.D., Inc.

The incorporators of WO.O.D., Inc. (which stands for the Wood Organization of Denver) were Clark R. Gittings, Gittings Lumber; Donald B. Richardson, Richardson Lumber, and John H. Stark, Stark Lumber. They and other members of the first board of directors recognized the need to promote the use of wood products in the Denver area.

Other board members were: Walter E. Kellogg, Jr., Kellogg Lumber; Edward W. Leonard. Denver Wood Products; F.C. Schmidt, Hallack and Howard Lumber Co.; Joel F. Scott, East Denver Lumber; O.K. Stookesberry, Derby Lumber Co., and Gerald C. Sullivan, University Park Lumber.

The nature of the business and primary object was:

"To foster, encourage, aid and otherwise promote a public awareness of the values, beauty and usability of wood; to help members of the wood industry to learn the value of knowing, and selling, the right wood for the right job."

Twenty-five years later, W.O.O.D., Inc. is a thriving organization of 85 retail, wholesale and supplier firms in the Denver metro trade area who take part in a wide range of educational, social and business related activities which further the use of wood.

Activities include monthly membership luncheons with speakers on topics important to the industry; evening educational seminars which bring members up-to-date on the latest technologies; an annual awards program which recognizes architects for using wood in their projects; an annual golf tournament, and a scrap lumber program to benefit nonprofit, needy organizations.

Other activities have included mill tours, social gatherings and distribution of technical information to architects and engineers.

Incentives

Fun things such as special buttons and names for the programs are good. Elaborate controls to control cheating are unnecessary since it has been found that employees generally police themselves.

Gift certificates and time off are considered poor motivators. Monetary awards are best, but they must qualify as bonuses and stay within the labor laws.
