BC Sells San Diego Units

Boise Cascade Corp. has completed the sale of its Southern California Area building materials centers to a newly formed corporation, which will operate as Western Lumber Company, Inc., owned by the investment firm of McCown Deleeuw & Co. and the management of the new organization.

The sale for approximately 527 million will result in a pretax gain to Boise Cascade of about $6.7 million, or approximately 13 cents per share after tax, in the third quarter.

With the transaction, Western Lumber acquires seven retail building materials stores, a wholesale yard and a distribution yard including remanufacturing facilities. The retail units will be renamed Westy's, according to Allen Quimby III, president of the newly formed company.

The sale is one of several steps taken by Boise Cascade over the past two years to consolidate and restructure its building materials distribution operations. The company continues to own and operate 33 building materials centers and wholesale units, located principally in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain regions in proximity to their western wood products manufacturing plants.

Weyerhaeuser Sells San Diego Stores

Dixieline Lumber Co., San Diego, Ca., has been sold to Monogram Industries, Inc., Culver City, Ca., by Weyerhaeuser Co., Tacoma, Wa.

No price was disclosed although industry reports peg it at more than the $22 million Weyerhaeuser paid to acquire the privately owned Dixieline in 1979. Sales for the lumber and home improvement retailer in 1984 were in excess of $100 million.

William Cowling, Jr. remains as president. Nortek, a Providence, R.I., building material manufacturer which controls Monogram Industries, has promised to expand Dixieline by five stores added at regular intervals over the next eight years. Monogram manufactures aerospace components.

Weyerhaeuser sold Dixieline because the company is readjusting its emphasis back to wholesale, according to Tom Ambrose, a company spokesman. Despite Dixieline's No. 2 position in sales in the San Diego market with five retail units and a distribution and truss yard, Weyerhaeuser failed to expand the store as expected during its years of ownership, according to Cowling.
