Plywood Forecast

(Continued from page 109) being placed on two systems with great futures in residential construction: the All-Weather Wood Foundation and the underfloor plenum system (also known as "Plen-Wood").

Both of these systems are proven energy-savers, both provide a high degree of comfort to home owners and both offer builders an extremely attractive alternative to concrete and masonry, particularly in light of skyrocketing concrete prices and availability problems.

There have been no major shortages ofwood products, yet anyone familiar with the forest industry knows there is a serious timber sup- ply problem that, in some areas, has pushed raw materials costs up 5000/o since 1970.

While several factors contribute to the soaring cost of both public and private timber, two of the major influences are the result of policies by the federal government that fail to fully utilize our national forests.

First, federal timber sales programs have consistently fallen short ofauthorized levels in recent years. The 1977 fiscal year (the latest data available at this writing) is an excellent example: the Resource Planning Act of 1974 called for a 13 billion board foot harvest in fiscal 1977, Congress authorized the sale of 11.45 billion feet and the Forest Service actuallv sold iust 9.72 bil- lion feet.

Second, the amount of national forest land available for timber harvesting has been steadily eroding. The rampant expansion of America's wilderness system has taken a heavy toll on the wood product industry's resource base.

Our most recent battle has been over the fate of 62 million acres of national forest land now under study by the Forest Service in the second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II).

The Forest Service has completed the public input phase of this crucial land-use study. It appears that a large majority of public responses favor multiple-use of RARE II lands-an opinion that must strongly influence Congress when it deals with the whole question in 1979.

APA will step up its efforts to help dealers and distributors sell more plywood during the coming year.

The home improvement/do-ityourself market is now the second largest outlet for plywood. APA estimates this sector will consume nearly 4 billion square feet of plywood products in 1979-that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 million 4 x 8-foot panels.

APA will continue to promote the "Profit With Precut" rack displaying plywood cut to convenient sizes. Now on the sales floors at over 200 of the nation's leading dealers, many participating retailers have reported dramatic increases in plywood sales after introducing "Profit With Precut" to their customers.

A guiding principle behind APA's promotion to the home improvement/do-it-yourself market is, dealers can be more effective plywood salesmen if they know more about the product.

For this reason. the nationwide network of APA field representatives conducts roughly 200 dealer meetings annually. These educational meetings are requested by dealers, usually for the benefit of new employees or to help established salesmen "brush up" on plywood basics.

APA has also developed a "Dealer Training Kit" available on a 15-minute LaBelle cassette or as a 30-minute taped script with 35mm color slides and literature.

In fact, the association's programs for dealers and distributors are described in a new APA publication, "Profit From a Little Free Advice."

WHY IS IT - a man wakes up in the morning after sleeping under an advertised blanket on an advertised mattress and pulls off advertised pajamas. Takes a bath in an advertised tub, shaves with an advertised razor, washes with an advertised soap, puts on advertised clotJres, sits down to breakfast of advertised coffed, puts on an advertised hat, rides to his office in an advertised car, writes with an advertised pencil Then, he refuses to advertise, saying advertising doesn't pay, and then, if a business isn't good enough to advertise he advertises it for sale.

If you believe in your business and want to build it . . , ADVERTISE.
