The Merchant Magazine couver, Wa., was shipped from the door plant in an unmarked unit of doors. A nation-wide search was initiated in the form of a contest, with a reward offered to the finder of the special door.

"We were upstairs in Gene Gaterman's office (Wholesale Door and Truss' general manager) and we heard all this hollering," remembers Neil Maddy, door division manager. The one doing the "hollering" was Howard Davis, who found the door while he was machining a unit of doors.

The door, an unfinished mahogany flush door with hardwood veneer face, was marked with bright red lettering across the face: Congratulations! You have just received the 5 millionth door produced by the Columbia Door division of Simpson Timber Company.

The special door ended up at Wholesale Door and Truss Co. via Simpson Building Supply in Kirkland, Wa., and sales rep Jack Stentz.

The "reward" of $100 was presented to Davis and the Wholesale Door and Truss Co. for the "arrest and recovery" of the door.

Hundreds of special "wanted" posters were distributed this summer by Simpson to their distributors and dealers describing the five millionth door and offering the reward for its apprehension.

"This really bolsters people's confidence in Simpson," said Stentz. "We thought, 'Oh sure' when we saw the posters," said Gaterman, Just another promotion.' But this made believers of us all !"
