Better than ever

Many lumber firms have been forced by circumstances to spring Phoenix-like from the ashes of a disastrous fire in an attempt to retain their momentum. In some cases they come back better than ever.

A good example is the ABC Lumber Co. of Costa Mesa, C&., which suffered a $l million loss in a July, 1980, fire. Operating out of temporary quarters while rebuilding, it survived and is now ensconsed in handsome new quarters, where they recently celebrated with the grand opening pictured here.

Now owned by Jim Moore and Paul Setzer, the firm was founded in 1945 and operates on a 65,000 sq. ft. piece of property, with a 20,000 sq. ft. cement building, the balance of the property being devoted to parking, landscaping, driveways and the like. All lumber is stored inside the building in conformance with local codes.

The business balance is roughly 4090 selected industrial accounts, 3090 do-it-yourselfers, l59o selected contractor/remodeler with the balance in miscellaneous categories.

General manager Mike Jamieson reports that business has been brisk for the firm since opening the new store.
