84 Lumber Comes to Denver

Pennsylvania-based 84 Lumber Co., by coincidence, has opened its 84th and B5th lumber centers in the Denver area.

The two outlets are the first for 84 Lumber west of the Mississippi.

The firm's name does not come from the number of stores it is operating, but from the name of its founding place, a village called Eighty Fourabout 25 miles south of Pittsburgh.

Since starting operation in the small Pennsylvania town in 1957, the company has expanded into 17 states.

Highlighting the two September grand openings were Paul Bunyan Games, featuring contests in nail driving, cross-cut sawing, log rolling, fishing and casting, hole-in-one golf, and tobacco putting.

The games were free and open to all men 18 years old who competed for cash prizes and the Paul Bunyan title.

Representatives of various building materials firms were on hand to demonstrate their products.

Manager of the Aurora store is Lee White, who formerly managed 84's store in Albany, N.Y. Dick Shirk is manager of the Broomfield store. He is former manager of the Toledo, Ohio, store. One store is at 37th Ave. and Nome St. in Aurora and the other is on U.S. 287. north of Broomfield.
