Southland Lumber Goes Hollywood

What do set designers in Hollywood do when they need to recreate a Savannah, Ga., courthouse setting in the center of Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Ca.? They call Southland Lumber for advice.

"We've been giving recommendations to movie studios on set construction materials since we opened our doors in 1945," said sales mgr. John Crowell for the Inglewood-based lumberyard. "We just started selling Style-Mark urethane millwork products two months ago and we had immediate interest from the set designers for the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."

The movie, directed by Clint Eastwood, is currently being filmed on Iocation in Savannah. Style-Mark products are used there to recreate the inside setting for Mercer House, where much of the story takes place. The urethane millwork mouldings used in the film reflect the Victorian settings traditionally found in the Savannah area.

At the Burbank studios, where the remainder of the film will be shot, Style-Mark products are used as decorative detail elements in the recreated southern courthouse.

"Warner Bros. was very particular on the style and look they needed for this fiIm," Crowell said. "It's our job to meet their needs lNVo of the timeand with quality suppliers like Style-Mark, we were able to create a 'win-win' situation for evervone involved."

Eagle Eyes New Markets

Eagle Hardware & Garden will expand into California and Idaho by the end of the year.

The company, which has opened three stores so far this year including its first in Hawaii, will add 125,000sq. ft. home centers in La Quinta, Ca., and Coeur d'Alene. Id.

Next year, Eagle will add five to six new stores.

Last year, the company enjoyed an llVo increase in same-store sales, and an lSVo jump in first quarter 1997. It benefited in the Pacific Northwest from the liquidation of Ernst Home Centers, and from strong job growth in Denver, Co., where it has three stores, and in Salt Lake City, Ut., where it has four.

Fire Speeds Up Remodeling

Gray Lumber Co., Tacoma, Wa., has revised its long-term remodeling strategy into an immediate recovery plan following a June 9 fire that destroyed its lumber storage shed and a hardware and retail sales area.

"We've been talking about a new hardware store for some time now," said Steven Gray, co-owner with brother Mac. "The fire kinda pushed up our schedule a bit."

In the meantime, the brothers have allotted temporary retail and hardware space in the back of their contractor sales area./window and door showroom.

The $750,000 blaze did result in daylong donations of food and labor to help clean up, especially from the contractors who make up 90Vo of Gray's business. Steven Gray said the outpouring shows that while many do-ityourselfers may prefer big box home centers, contractors still need a full service lumber supplier.

"I had one guy in here today who said Eagle Hardware is okay for some things, but if you need a 26-ft. long glulam in a hurry, you know you can get it here," he said.
