Reel Lumber's 60 Year Catalog

Reel Lumber Service, Anaheim and Riverside, Ca., has produced a product catalog that does more than offer a laundry list of products available.

Observing the 60th anniversary of the company, the brochure includes photos of the facilities and employees. A cover photo of the company's Model A Ford delivery truck sets the tone for a brief company history beginning with the founding by E. G. Reel in 1932 in Los Angeles. Don and Gil Reel assumed management in the 1960s and the company moved to Anaheim in 1976. Regal Custom Millwork was founded in 1982 and the Riverside branch opened in 1986.

The catalog also emphasizes ihe renewability of wood. Direct quotes from the Forest Resource Fact Book published by the National Hardwood Lumber Association are used throughout the pages to reinforce the concept of reforestation and stewardship in the hardwood industry.

A species reference chart and profiles of mouldings available complete the 33 page publication.
