Storyof DOUGLAS FlR PLYWOOD Advonlog,es o wise investmenl mony wqys ..."

THIS attractive Portland. Oregon, home contains plenty of Douglas fir plywood, but it's mostly "behind the scenes"in wall sheathing, in roof sheathing, in subflooring. Built on a hill-top lot rvith sweeping view. the house is sub jected to srveeping winds as well. Kenneth Striker, the original owner, says: "In spite of the wracking action of the wind, the Plyscord sheathing kept the structure so rigid that after four-and-a-half years there lvere only four small plaster cracks, due to atmospheric conditions rather than structure. V'hen I build again, Plyscord will be a 'must'in the spec' ilications." The present owners, Mr. and Mrs. John Dierdorff, who purchased the house in 1944, say the house is still rigid and tight, and has required an absolute minimum of maintenance. Architect for the house was Richard Sundeleaf; builder was Julius Zink.

Plywood production is greater. today than pre'war. But demand is unprecedented. That's why Douglas fir plywood may not always be readily available.
