OWNER MUST RELINQUISH CONTROL LARGE S. F. BAY AREA YARD

Owner of expanding and progressive lumber and building materials company in S. F. Bay Area must relinquish active management and prepare for retirement.

The development of this company's structure and realization of its potential will require either control by an aggressive younger management, or integration into a larger company with an organization capable of taking advantage of its possibilities. If desired, present management will stay long enough to smooth transition period.

Full ownership of the company can be acquired for the amount estimated to be the liquidation value at public auction on the date of purchase. With present inventory, this is approximately $200,000. Because this offering price is so low, it is desired that those answering this notice give assurance of their interest in carrying on the company's development-rather than their desire to speculate on its liquidation.

7i- .Largely because of holiday shutdowns, many of which will be longer than usual. mills seemed more inclined to turn a deaf ear to lowfriced offers, but there was not a very big volume of demand, said the report. There was considerable hope among producers that : curtailed production would result in stiffer prices after Jan. 1. Ply- wood seerned to be scoring a victory in maintaining the base price : lor r/t-inch AD sanded stock; plywood sheathing also held its position after the recent drop. A recent Crow poll indicated that tlo/o ' of the Fir production and 29o/o of the Pine region output will be s,hut '"down for ovcr a rnonth in addition to thc holidays, including mills that were already down.
