This isUnion Pacific marketing lumber. For1980.

At Union Pacific we believe we're more than a railroad. We're an important part of lumber marketing. And because of this, we're also planning for the future.

Changes in the rapidly expanding lumber industry have required innovations in the marketing of lumber to the various points of demand. We're studying new schedules, pricing and specialized equipment that will be needed to handle the industry's requirements. We're doing our homework so that when 1980 comes we'll both be ready.

When you think of Union Pacific, think of more than fast, efficient transportation. Think of us as a team of experts planning how we can better serve your industry's needs.

Wood-look Buildings

New "wood-looking" lawn and garden buildings have been introduced by Kaiser Aluminum for use in residential applications and mobile home parks..

The high quality all-aluminum storage buildings were designed to incorporate features not normally found in common do-it-yourself type steel buildings: structural strength, appearance, ease of erection, and long life.

Additional styling variations can be achieved with insert panels, push plates, or kick panels on the doors, and contrasting front walls.

The larger buildings come equipped with double locking doors, and single doors are available in the smaller structures. Piano hinges are standard equipment on doors in all models and deep-ribbed side panels add strength to the walls of the buildines.

A new semi-automatic sub-compon- ent nailing machine by RCH Tool Corp. is now available for assembly of housing components such as headers, channels, king studs, cripples and tees. Model CM-3A features four pneumatic nailing guns manufactured by the Paslode Co.
