Far West's Weston Retires

John Weston, president and c.e.o. of Far West Fir Sales, Huntington Beach, Ca., has retired, ending a 50year career in the lumber industry.

A longtime director of the Lumber Association of Southern California and 1986-1987 president of the North American Wholesale Lumber Association, he entered the business in 1938 as a switchboard operator for Jones Lumber Co., Portland, Or.

A year-and-a-half later, he joined Western Oregon Lumber Co., Portland. After four years as a WWII Air Force pilot, he rejoined Western Oregon at its Los Angeles, Ca., sales office, working as a mill rep under Friday Freeland.

When the mill closed in 1954, Weston, Freeland and co-worker Bob Creisler opened Far West Fir Sales in Beverly Hills, Ca. By the time the firm moved to Glendale, Ca., in 1961, its well-known team of Weston, Jack Secoy, Harry Selling and Petter Svenkerud was in place.

In 1971, Far West moved to a location with a yard in Huntington Beach. Later additions included remanufacturing facilities in Huntington Beach, Sunnymead, Ca., and Woodburn, Or.; a distribution yard/ roof truss plant in Chandler, Az.; wholesale oflice in Modesto, Ca., and a distribution yard now under construction in Stockton, Ca. In December 1986, Far West became a division of Universal Forest Products, Grand Rapids, Mi., a 33-yearold roof truss manufacturer, pressure treater and softwood wholesaler serving the Rockies to the East Coast.

Upon Weston's retirement, Gary Adamson succeeded him as president of Universal Far West.

Through the years, Weston has seen many changes in the business, such as home centers supplanting indepenilents, retail yards moving away from the harbors, fewer large yards and large wholesalers, a shift from rail shipment to trucks, and increased commodity production at mills.

Far West has had to change with the times. "As logs got smaller, volume and heavy commodity production became important to mills," says Weston. "Remanufacturing facilities hlled a need when a lot of mills stopped refining their products. We were one of the first to start remanufacturing down here; not to compete with mills, but to find a niche they weren't filling."

"There has been some evolution, but in the more than 30 years of Far West, our business is still buying and selling lumber. The core of the business hasn't changed," he says.

Weston does not consider his longevity in the industry unusual, thanking the business itself for keeping so many involved so long. "The integrity this business has maintained is very gratifying. It's a high dollar volume business, and much is done by verbal agreement over the phone, with very few problems over the years. Certainly many businesses couldn't operate that way. It says a lot for this business and the people in it," he explains.

Golf, travel and a variety of other projects are on his agenda. "I plan to keep busy," Weston says.
