Itvroulcl lqle o lof of dimes to do $75 Million u crth of business from o phone b@th.

fhere are those who think lumber wholesalers need only a dime and a phone booth.

Oregon-Pacific was founded 23 years ago with 4 or 5 employees. Sure, we used the phone. How else to buy rapidly from a mill in Oak Ridge or Okanogan or fill an immediate customer order in Omaha or Orlando?

Today, we still phone. Rather, our staff of 25 customers' men does, backed up by another 85 people in our traffic and credit and warehouse and other departments. Those phone calls were made last year to more than 3,000 customers, in 50 states, whose orders totaled 75 million dollars.

You can't put our Building Materials Division in a phone booth. Or our National Lumber/Plywood Division. Or our Sacramento. Fullerton. and Toronto offices. Or our Portland headouarters and central warehouse.

A successful lumber wholesaler today must have product, personalized service, and plain integrity. Oregon-Pacific has all three.

For what you need, when you need it, call us. Area 503224-4525. We're proud of our telephone manners. too. Test us. Call collect.
