How Lrumber Looks

Lumber shipments of 172 r-nills reporting to the National Lumber Trade Barometer were 12.4 per cent above production for the week ended December D, 1951. In the same week new orders of these mills were 40.4 per cent above production. Unfilled orders of the reporting mills anounted to 43 per cent of stocks. For the reporting softwood mills, unfilled orders were equivalent to 23 days' production at the current rate, and gross stocks were equivalent to 48 days'production.

For the year-to-date, shipments of reporting identical mills were 0.5 per cent below production; orders rvere 3.8 per cent below production.

Douglas Fir Sales To Stay

Hish In 19sz

Bv H. V. Simpson Executive Vice President

\Uest Coast Lumbermen's Association

Douglas fir lumber manufacturers are just completing their greatest production and shipping year in history.

We want to give the retail lumbermen credit for helping maintain this continuing high level of sales of West Coast woods. The retail lumberman is the recognized authority in his community on building and building material problems. The retailer has won the confidence of his neighbors because he has made himself indispensible. He has developed a fine public acceptance and his recommendation of West Coast woods has been a large factor in building our rnost successful year.

Everybody rvould like to knorv r,vhat's going to happen in 1952..

Will business be good or slorv ? Will prices go tlp or down ? Will the Korean r'var end in 1952 ? Will credits tighten up or be relaxed ? Will defense spending increase ? How about inflation? Will the value of the dollar keep shrinking? What will politics do to us? With 1952 another election year, will business be favorably or adversely affected ? These are questions businessmen are asking each other.

Right now, we are taking stock of rvhat happened in 1951 out here in the Douglas fir region of r.vestern Oregon and Washington and northern California.

Business Has Been Good

Business has been good, no denying. We produced morc lumber in 1951 from West Coast forests than ever before in the 125-year history of our region. Best estimate is we cut 11.4 billion board feet, up considerably over last year's 10.5 billion which was best previous year. Shipments totaled close to 11.28 billion feet, also an all-time record. Our orders totaled 10.68 billion feet, not quite up to last year's 11.2 billion feet, but still one of our best years.

Certainly, aggressive selling on the part of the retail lumberman accounted for a large volume of sales of West Coast woods. Many rnore retailers took advantage of our sales helps this year. Our t'lvo sound-and-color motion pictures have been used more than ever. Retailers have ordered tens of thousands more pieces of our full-color literature. The nerv farm building booklet, the booklet on

proper use of paints, and the spectacular full-color folders on new home ideas have been popular pieces with the retailer and his cttstomers. Tl-re free advertising mats supplied by us are being used in hundreds of retail newspaper :trlvertisements every week.

We are continuing our national advertising in leading lrcrme and farrn magazines and will use full-color copy as we have during the past year. In each advertisement, read by millions, ll'e refer the potential customer to his retail

..ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A TREE."

{<

:t< * -JoYce Kilmer'

There can be no Errgument as to the truth of Joyce Kilmey's famous line quoted above, taken from his immortal poem "Trees.f' Certainly only God can make a tree. But it was demonstrated throughout this land in 1951 to a greater degree than ever before that thoughtful and practical men can give the Lord some wonderful help along that line. For in the year just ended men did more to make trees grow-commercial trees to benefit mankind-than ever before.

>F*

The year 1951 found millions upon millions of acres of former forest-growing lands, now growing trees again. It found a greater number of millions of acres of tree-growing land being handled for the first time as perpetual forests of the future. It found an army of men, not in any restricted territory but throughout the timbered areas of the country, enthusiastically engaged in the business of planning and planting future forests. North, East, South and West, we have suddenly become a nation of tree-growers. "We grow our own logs" has become a present boast of numerous lumber producers, and a future boast of innumerable others.

t<**

When the Lord first turned the forest lands of the United States over to man, they were covered with a rich crop of virgin forests, which man proceeded to harvest and use the products thereof, and then, as a general thing, just let the land lay there under the title of "cut-overr'; or cleared some of it for farm land. It took us a long time-we not too bright humans-to discover that this land was intended by a kindly Providence not only to grow trees, but to RE-GROW them. The fact that a forest is a crop colated very, very slowly; and the further splendid that forest land, properly handled, will keep right on growing crops of trees, took time to sink in definitely enough to be put into general practice.

{<*tF

per-

Col. W. B. Greeley, most famous of American forest authorities, likes to tell about those old days when the virgin forests were being decimated and little thought given to their replacement. He says the big argument that was always aimed at the forester who believed it was practical to re-grow forests was: "It takes so long to grow commercial trees that only government can affoitl to gro1ry tiriber." And it sounded logical and unanswerable in light of what the lumber industry knew then. Practical forestry, selective logging, fire protection, and cutting only the proper part of the timber crop in cycles-these things had not yet come to illuminate*the*lumber and timber industries.

But eventually they did come, a step at a time. And it can be truthfully said that in 1951, as never before, the truth about tree growing came to be generally known. At lumber conventions throughout the land, more was heard about tree growing, tree farms, perpetuating the mills by a scientifical$ raised and harvested timber supply, than about milling, grading, or merchandising. A modern miracle had taken place. A great industry that thirty years ago never even mentioned the subject now specialized in practical forestry.

At first it was thought that tree-growing might well be confined to species of fast-growing timber, or to land areas where vegetation enjoys normally rapid growth. But not so. Wherever forests have been grown by nature, forests are now being grown by man's scientific effort. Take the Redwoods, just as an example. A mature Redwood tree may be thousands of years old. It would seem that regrowing Redwoods for wood products would be entirely impractical because of the time element.

{<**

Not so. In no part of the country today is there more enthusiastic planning and effort for future forests, than in the Redwood region of California. They plant Redwoods, they protect young Redwood trees, they practice morej care in the operation of their woods and mills than ever before. And in the South where the Pines grow very rapidly, practical forestry is now being applied also to Southern hardwood forests, and you read the proud proclamation from practical timber men that scientific forestry is showing splendid signs of future results, promising more and better future hardwood. Who would have dreamed a few years back that hardwoods would grow fast enough to justify the use of forestry methods ? ***

Practical forestry methods are being applied today in every timbered region of the South and West, and are also getting remarkable results in various of the old forest areas of the Middle North. All of the Pine areas of the West Coast, as well as the entire Douglas Fir region, are now given over to earnest and intelligent efforts to make several trees grow where probably only one grew previously. Tree farms of great size and area have been created in the pacific Northwest., Concerns like Weyerhaeuser have laid out their timber growing regions for a hundred years in advance, and have divided their tree farms to fit their mills. The forests cf the future are being skilfully planned.

You knour which grade is which, because each bundle is plainly marked lor grade. You knour who made it, because each bundle is plainly labeled with the famous registered Royal Oak Flooring trade-mark.. symbol of supreme quality!

To avoid the.uncertainties of oak flooring anonymous ..

In the South, where practical forestry started, tree farming covers the entire area that was originally forested. Pine trees grow fast in the South, and the mills and timber companies, big and small, are all practical tree farmers today. Almost any mill man you talk to can give you a pretty close estimate of how much timber is growing annually on his lands. Saw logs are only one of the products of these forests. Commercial thinning of young trees furnishes a tremendous supply of pulpwood, which is a fine cash crop, also much fuel wood, together with posts, poles, and other products unknown in the virgin forest days. Col. Greeley says: "I know of no parallel in world history of a forest recovery so rapid and carrying with it such industrial progress as that "j al. foutn in the last 30 years."

Wonders upon wonders are being performed in the West, South, and other parts of the country in the way of making

\(/estern Pine Production Sets Record tn 1951

Portland, Ore., Dec. D-The following report of fourth quarter, 1951, production and shipments of Western Pine region lumber and lumber products and estimate of probable first quarter, 1952, shipments were released today by S. V. Fullaway, Jr., secretary-manager of the Western Pine association, Portland. The report ,covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar Pine and associated woods. The statement in full:

"ft is now apparent that 1951 has been another year of top performance for the Western Pine industry. Total regional production is expected to establish a new high exceeding the previous record year of 1950 by a slight margin. Shipments, although well above forecasted totdls, will probably be about 7 per cent below the tremendous volume of deliveries made in 1950.

"Preliminary estimates for 1951 indicate that the region produced 7,724 million while shipping 7,325 million. This inventory increase of about 400 million replaces the 200 million stock reduction in 1950 and provides a margin for the prompt handling of the increased mixed car business which developed under the market conditions of recent months.

"Overall construction activitl' for the year compares favorably with that in 1950, reduction in residential building being offset by a substantial increase in non-residential construction and some upturn in public and private works and utilities classifications. Total housing starts for 1951 are now expected to be nearly 1,100,000 units. This is about 300,000 under the record set in 1950 and more than 2O0,000 above the government's attempted ceiling. It is therefore the second highest home building year on record.

"Again the government planners are asking for a top limit of 850,000 housing starts in 1952. Some private sources predict a million units for the year ahead. Defense requirements for lumber continue uncertain. Unusually severe winter lveather in most consuming areas and over a large part of the Western Pine region may be a real influence on the level of industry operation for the immediate future.

wood or wood fiber into wonderful, and valuable, and useful things, too numerous to mention on one sheet. We have become an industry of many products whose integrated manufacture will utilize everything e:icept the whine of the saws. To quote Col. Greeley again: "Thfoughout the United States the forest industry today is in the most dynamic, creative period since Capt. John Smith rived the first clapboards in Tidewater, Virginia."

The grand prize. for an. O."a ""swer made during 1951 on the subject of young and old timber, goes to Hal V. Simpson, of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association. At a retail meeting, a dealer asked him: "What is the difference between the lumber from second-growth and virgin timber?" And Simpson said: "Virgin timber is just secondgrowth timber that grew up."

"Based on such factors and all other available information, it now seems probable that during the first quarter ol1952 shipments (,consumption) of lumber from the Western Pine region will approximate I,2,5 million. This will be about 20 per cent less than first quarter 1951 shipments which were the greatest in the industry's history."

Stained Shingle and Shake Association Holds Annual Meeting

Growth of the pre-stained processed cedar shake industry has been meteoric in the four years since the manufacturers formed a group to advertise and promote this product nationally. In 1948, records indicated that I.9/o of the new residential sidewalls were being constructed of shakes. Similar records for 1951 show that nearly 8/o oI all new sidervalls are now being covered with shakes; and the manufacturers have evidence to show that the potential for a greater share of the sidewall market is excellent.

Since the formation of the Stained Shingle and Shake Asso,ciation, distribution of the product has been increased to cover virtually all metropolitan areas in the United States. Architects have found shakes adaptable to a wide variety of uses on both modern and traditional homes. Builders in increasing numbers are using shakes for full wall treatment and for wainscoting, gable-ends, or partial wall treatment in combination with other materials. Remodeling is also a volume sales field for versatile pre-stained cedar shakes.

At the annual meeting, R. N. Miller of Wood Beautifiers, Inc., was elected President of the Stained Shingle and Shake Association. Directors elected to serve during 1952 arc: Paul R. Smith, M. R. Smith Lurnber and Shingle Co.; H. V. Whittall, Canadian Forest Products Limited; J. C. LaFever, The Perma Products Company; R. N. Miller, Wood Beautifiers. fnc.

Cedar shakes have gobbled up more than 25/o of the 1951 production of the ,cedar shingle industry, it was announced at the annual meeting of the Stained Shingle and Shake Association, held in Seattle in mid-December.

Almost a third of the Christrnas trees in the United States come from the Pacific Northwest and California.

Douglas Fir Sales To Stay High

(Continued from Page 4)

lumberrnen. Thousands of requests a week ask for information and literature on West Coast woods as a result of this continuing advertising program.

Export Demand Big Factor

Trvo unexpected developments have helped build this recorcl year in the Douglas fir region. First, has been a sharp increase in expo.rt demand for Douglas fir. This year we shipped about 660 million feet in export compared to 269 million feet a year ago. Second, competition from British Columbia mills which normally ship into our Atlantic Coast markets has been reduced by about 50O million feet this year. Canadian mills are shipping over 5@ million feet more lumber to tl.re United Kingdom than in 1950. Our Douglas fir mills have supplied the domestic market rvith enough lumber to offset the amount of Canadian lumber diverted from U. S. to U. K. markets.

A shortage of steel has created an exceptionally strong tiemand for structural and industrial items in Douglas fir. Most of our mills have large order files of industrial lumber and timbers rvhich are being used throughout industry in place of steel. Wood is constantly improving its reputation as an engineering material and as in \A/orld War II is m:rking many ndrv,friends, for engineers are continually reminded of what a versatile material wood can be.

Tl.rele has been a remarkable increase in use of fabricated bearns and trusses built up from wood. These trusses can be built with the use of TECO connectors or glued together in a wide varietv of shapes, sizes and lengths. Fabricatecl trusses over 200 feet in length are norv being made.

N{ost of us knorv by now that we built another 1,100,000 nerv homes in America this year, the great majority by private industry. Most of this lumber went through the hancls of our retail friends. We also know that quantities of lumber were nsed in defense industries. West Coast rvoocl rvas used in military establishments and shipped overseas lor our troops.

What nearly everybody rvants to knorv is rvhat's going to happen ln 1952.

We Are Optimistic

We are inclined to be optimistic about the prospects for another banner year for lumbei in the year just ahead.

Of interest to our retail friends is the latest estimate that

another million homes will be constructed during 1952. Probably, we should qualify any forecasts by cautioning that politics and politicians could conceivably during 1952 change any Conclusions reached in December of 1951.

We frankly don't think the administration .n'il1 do anything knorvingly to interfere with the construction industry in an election year. We have never had general prosperity in peace time unless the construction industrl. u'as prosperous. Lumber is a major factor in the construction industry. It is the raw material which provides u'ork not alone for the carpenters, painters and finishers, but influences the employment of many othersthe plumbers, bricklayers, electricians, masons, roofers, steel lvorkers, transportation workers and dozens of other groups in every crossroads, village and city in America. Politicians aren't alu'ays concerned with industry welfare; thev are alu'ays concerned with employment.

We don't anticipate much harmful government tinkering with the construction industry; perhaps creclits may be manipulated to keep home and commercial constnlction at a substantial level.

Farm Markets Look Good

From where 'lve sit here on the Pacific Coast, it looks as though one of the best sources of business for the retail lumberman will be out among the farmers ir-r his trading territory. The farmers have had a great crop 1'ear. They are prosperous. They need to build nerv homes or modernize the older homes and to improve generally their entire farm p.lant. Many of them had to postpone needed farm improvements during World War II because oi material shortages. They don't rvant to get caught agair-r rvith a forced clelay of farm building. N{uch of our advertising and colorful literature is directed at the farmer ar-rd intended to give the retailer a hand rvith this business.

We expect military and defense use of lumber to increase during the year maybe as much as 20 per cent over last year.

We lvould like to reassure our retail lumber friends on the matter of supply. During this national defense buildup lvc have been able to take care of all government demands orl our ir,dustry for lumber and still supply all domestic nceds lor West Coast u'oods. Unless all-out war comes, we will be able to continue indefinitely supplying all the \\'est Cloast woods the nation's civilian economy needs.

\\'rest Coast forest landowners have continued their amazirrg progress in better forest management. Over -1,000.000 (Continued on Page 22)

(Continued from Page 20)

acres in the Douglas fir region are now in West Coast Tree Farms, dedicated to perpetual growth of forest crops. Conservation and wise use of our forests is the rule here in the West. Because of the vastly stepped up utilization program instituted by industry, private and government estimates 4re that 25 per cent more wood is being brought in from the forests now than ten years ago.

Retailer Helps Conservation Move

The retail lumberman has had a big part in this conservation and better utilization drive. He has helped develop markets for lower grades of West Coast lumber. Best conservation depends on ability to sell all the lumber which can be made from each mature tree cut in the forests. So the retailer is a conservationist where it counts most-on the sales front.

Best estimate is that conservation, aided by the team of lumbermen-manufacturer out West and retailer all over the nation, promoting the right grade of lumber for every uss-fi2s added another 125 billion board feet of lumber to our West Coast forest reserves. This promotion includes lower grades where they will do the job, engineered grades where strength is needed, and clear grades where beauty enhan.ces the finished job.

Our hats are off to our retail friends. You are true conservationists. Conservation in use means conservation in the forests.

Here are four reasons why we are bullish about prospects for another banner year in 1952: l) highest employment at the highest wages in history ; 2) most valuable farm crop;

3) largest industrial production on record; and, 4) inflationary influences. Yest, and why not add all the implications of an election year, for good measure. Our only reservation: We are not responsible for changes caused by politicians or oolitics.

Year-End Review of Buildlng Industry

New York, Dec. 31.-The construction industry in 1951 operated in one of the most confused years in American economic history, yet year-end records will show that the industry hit an all-time peak in dollar volume, accordipg to Harold R. Berlin, vice president of Johns-Manville Corporation and general manager of the company's Building Products Division.

"Despite conflicting economic cross-currents, about $37 billions was spent on new construction and all other kinds of building activity in 195l-exceeding 1950's record and representing an all-time peak in dollars," Mr. Berlin said. "In physical volume, however, 1951 was below the preceding year by around 5 per cent due to the rise in wages and prices in the construction industry."

Mr. Berlin pointed out that construction is one of the principal props of the country's economy, embracing as it does residential construction, alteration and repair; defense, industrial, commercial and edurational construction ; hospital, institutional, social, recreational and religious construction; farm construction; electric power, gas and other utility construction such as telephone, sewage disposal, water supply; conservation and reclamation projects; and highway construction.

"It appears now, because of the metal shortages, that there will be an over-all decrease in the amount spent for all types of construction in 1952," Mr. Berlin said. "New home construction will decline in 1952, but expenditures for residential rernodeling and moderr,ization are, for that very reason, likely to increase substantially.

"The need for neu, homes continues all over the country in this decade when population right now is growing at the rate ol 2l million per year. In spite of material scarcities and, given no further in';ensification of the Cold War, and no important additional government restrictions, it is likely that new home construction in 1952 will approximate at least the 800,000 figure that is now considered the best guess."

An Easy \7.y of Planning a Farm Home

"An Easy Way of Planning a Farm Home," new eight-page booklet published by the West Coast Lumbermen's Association, is a valuable sales tool designed to create new business in the farm field. Developed by H. E. Wichers, nationallyknown farm home expert, the method shown in this booklet has been successfully tested in farm communities over a period of years. It solves the basic problem of room arrangement. It removes the mystery from home planning.

From the retail lumber dealer's standpoint it is a real aid in getting potential farm builders "over the hump" and on their way to actual building. It offers the dealer an interesting and effective way of introducing the subject of home building. As a mailing piece it is sure to command attention.

Fully illustrated, "An Easy Way of Planning a Farm Home" is 8y""*11" in size, attractively printed in two colors. It is offered free in quantity by the West Coast Lurnbermen's Association, 1410 S.W. Morrison Street, Portland 5, Oregon.

The Orcrtory of Daniel Webster

For fifty years Daniel Webster made it his sacred business in every publ'ic utterance, never to resume his seat until he has fired at least a few verbal rockets into the skies on the subject of patriotism; of love of country, of home, of Old Glory.

No logical pleadings were these. His were the emotional outpourings of a patriotic heart and patriotic soul concerning the land and the people he loved; the fag and country he adored; its greatness; the grandeur of its mission; its promise of hope to the people of all the world.

To spread such a gospel was not just the pastime of his idle moments-it was the serious business of his life. He was the inspired, the immortal fag-waver of American history. From his eighteenth to his seventieth year he made countless public addresses, and from not one of them did he ever omit tremendous flag-waving

True patriotic eloquence is of the heart. It has no more to do with concrete facts or dire forebodings than has the throbbing song of the mockingbird singing to its mate the glorv of the sunrise.

To Webster the love of country was something overflowing and overpowering, and he launched a priceless tribute to "the land of the free" with no more staging, preparation, manuscript, or mechanics than does the soft-throated mockingbird. Could any man have a finer mission than to preach inspired words to that sacred text; love of countryflag-home?

We have had many great orators in earlier American history; but only one Daniel Webster. He had a crag-like brow and head. He was large and powerful, and impressive physically. Even before he opened his lips to speak, he made an indelible impression on his audience.

Like Lincoln, he had a face that was furrowed as only sorrow, and care, and deep thought can furrow the face of a man. He had the outward appearance of a man with a message; and a message this man had.

For when he spoke on his favorite subject-Americathe love he felt for her, his reverence for her greatness, his belief in her mission, her heritage of hope for all the peoples of the troubled world-he became godlike in his emotional enthusiasm.

And when he raised his face and voice to Old Glory it had much the same effect on his audiences that the singing of the Marseillaise-that patriotic song of songs-used to have in days gone by on the people of France.

Would that Daniel Webster might have lived eternally, to fire the people of America forever with his terrific type of patriotism.-Jack Dionne.

A Hero To llis Men

(Following is the short speech that General Sam Houston made to his small army just before engaging an army of

thousands of Mexicanq at San Jacinto.)

"This morning we are in preparation to meet Santa Anna. It is the only chance of saving Texas. I have looked for reinforcements in vain. We will only have about seven hundred men to march with, besides the camp guard. We go to conquer. It is wisdom growing out of necessity to meet the enemy now; every consideration enforces it. No previous occasion would justify it. The troops are in fine spirits, and now is the time for action. We shall use our best efforts to fight the enemy to such advantage as to insure victory, though the odds are greatly against us. I leave the result in the hands of a wise God, and rely upon His providence. My country will do justice to those who serve her. The rights for which we fight will be secured, and Texas free."

Kipling Wrote:

"But ye say 'It will mar our comfort,' Ye say 'It will minish our trade,' So ye wait for the spattered shrapnel, Ere ye learn how a gun is laid?

For the low, red glare to the Southward When the raided coast towns burn? Light ye shall have on that lesson, But little time to learn."

Rcpid Action

Cohen dropped into a Christian revival meeting one evening just as a spectator, and the next thing he knew he had hit the trail and joined up. Then he went home to tell his wife and teenage daughter and son about it. They were home, so he said, "I've got something I want to tell you three." His wife said-"Wait a ninute, I borrowed ten dollars from a neighbor and told her I'd return it as soon as you got home, so give me the ten and tell me later"'

So he gave her ten dollars and she left, and his daughter s3id-"p3, I've got to go to a class meeting, and I need ten dollars for dues, and you can tell me what you want after I get back." Then his son said-"Dad, I'm going to a football meeting and I need ten dollars for a football suit, so give me ten and you can tell me when I get back'"

So he gave each of them ten apiece and they left, and suddenly Cohen blurted out:

"Well, I'11 be doggoned ! I've only been a Christian about one hour, and these Jews have got me for thirty dollars already !"

CliPtu

And now Elmong the fading embers, These in the main are mY regrets: When I am right, no one remembers, When I am wrong, no one forgets.

United States Plywood's New Olftce

and \(/arehouse Building at Los Angeles

Shown above is United States Plywood Corporation's new Los Angeles sales and distribution unit, said to be the largest plywood warehouse in the United States.

The modern structure is located at 4480 Pacific Blvd., Los Angeles, and contair-rs more than 60,000 square feet of storage space, in addition to 5,000 square feet occupied by showrooms, office and sales facilities. Offices are completely air-conditioned and sound-proofed.

The striking facaCe of the building is constructed from precast concrete fins rneasuring 36 inches wide by 10 feet high, set at 45-degree angles for natural illumination and sun control.

When company oificials began to plan the new warehouse, ofifrces and Western Divisional headquarters, they took three things into consideretion.

First-an efficient warehouse layout to faciiitate the harrdling of their own trucks, deliveries, pickup orders by customers and freight shipments.

Second-an office layout built around a well staffed order desk and central inventory file.

Third-they wanted to make the offices and general worl; areas a showroom c,{ Weldwood products.

The loading docks, large enough to accommodate eighteen trucks at one time, are on a large parking area, entirely separated from the parking for passenger cars. All except five of the docks are recessed into the warehouse to provide loading under roof.

The increased warehouse space rvith adequate plywood storage racl<s, flanked by'ivide aisles, enables complete handling of stock with fork liits. This not only facilitates the filling of

orders but also proviies systematic storage for a greater vltrtety of plywood, species and sizes.

.The spacious offic" facilities not only show the uses of tl.reir many Weldwood products, but they have set aside one rooll1 devoted cntirely to large size sarnples of the various hardwoocl species and other products. These are all attached to demountable display racks r'r'hich enables them to vary the displays from time to time.

Though they are a wholesale plvrvood and material concern, sellir-rg only through the lumber, millwork and cabinet concerns, they feel that the sample room was a necessary addition to their services. They have found it quite useful to architects ancl their clients and the lumber and cabinet people with their customers.

They dld not stop with the sample room as they are happy to take them on a tour of the various private offices which are all done in various l.pecies of native and imported hardwood paneling.

They make their u.ork rooms their shou'rooms and are happ,v to receive visitors.

Frecl B. Smales, Western Division manager, has an office in the new building. Don Braley is manager of the Los Angeles r'varehouse, Boris Y. Kutner is sales manager.

Curtis Companies, lnc., Purchases American Plywood Corporation

George M. Curtis, president of Curtis Companies, fncorporated, Clinton, fowa, has announced the purchase, as of December 21, 1951, of American Plywood Corporation of New London, Wisconsin, and its wholly owned subsidiary, American Veneer Coriroration, Oconto, Wisconsin. All capital stock of American Plywood has been purchased outright,. inclirding all real estate, equipment, timberlands, contracts for logs, patents, trade names and other assets, Mr. Curtis stated.

The purchase augments the production facilities of Curtis Companies, Incorporated, now ending its 85th year as a leading manufacturer of woodwork, with a line of topquality flush doors, plywood, veneer and fixtures, Brand names formerly used by American Plywood, among which are New Londoner and Plyoneer, will be continued with the addition of the prefix "Curtis." No changes of present personnel are contemplated.

fn commenting on the acquisition of American Plywood Corporation, M.. Curtis said, "The corporation was acquired in order that we might more completely serve present Curtis customers. We have recognized for some time that modern architectural trends demand interior and exterior flush doors, as well as the popular panel doors, but we have not been in a position to fill our dealers' flush door requirements adequately. The demand has long ex-

ceeded the supply of quality flush doors, but until we could market doors which would match the high quality of other Curtis woodwork, we withheld expansion in this field.

"Another primary reason for the purchase is to enlarge the scope of Curtis by entering and expanding the plywood, fixture and veneer business which has been so well handled in the past by American Plywood.

"The purchase of American Plywood represents another forward step in the long-range program of product expansion and development which Curtis Companies have carried on for many years. That program has resulted in such products as the well known Curtis Silentite windows, a complete line of kitchen cabinet units, and a line of architectural woodwork which has won widespread praise. from architects, builders and home owners alike."

Gardiner Lumber Company Makes First Shipment of Plywood

Plywood production from one of the most modern plywood mills' on the Pacific Coast was announced in December by The Long-Bell Lumber Company. The new mill, located at Gardiner, Oregon, will be operated under the name of The Gardiner Lumber Company, a Long-Bell subsidiary. Douglas Fir interior and exterior types of plywood will be the principal products of the new plant.

Peeling of the first logs in the new operation took place on December 3, and first shipments from the plant were made late in the month. Logs for the new plywood mill will come from Company timber lands which are being managed on a perpetual yield basis.

The plant with a capacity of four and a half million square feet of z/g inch basis per month, is lo,cated on a site adjoining the sawmill of the Gardiner Lumber Company. A railroad spur connecting with Coos Bay Branch of the Southern Pacific at East Gardiner, Oregon, has recently been completed to make shipments from the plant.

An eight-foot Merritt-Solem lathe of latest design peels tl-re old gror,vth Douglas Fir veneer which is made into all the standard sizes of plywood. The hot p:ess method is used exclusively and two 16-opening Columbia presses have been installed to form the sheets. Eight-drum Yates-American sanders give the final finish to the sheets of plywood.

Plyrvood manufacturing is not nerv to Long-Bell. In I9l2

at Weed, California, the company established the first Ponderosa Pine plywood mill on the Pacific Coast to produce panels for the Long-Bell door factory, but the demand soon placed the plant in the plywood market. The Weed operation was modernized in 1945.

The Long-Bell sales organization will handle the entire rrroduction of the new Gardiner mill.

fmport Firm Expects Increase In Hardwood Plywood Sales in 1952

Ziel & Co., fnc., San Francisco, reports having had a very successful year in the importation and sale of plywood manufactured in Japan, through channels of wholesale plywood jobbers.

R. S. (Bob) Reid, sales manager of this firm's lumber department, says they got a very good distribution of their plylvood including all the area from the Pacific Coast to Chicago. "Because of this wide distribution we feel that our plywood business should increase in 1952. We have received nothing but praise on the quality. The two predominating species in our importations are Philippine lauan, both light and dark, and Japanese sen, which is light colored ash." Mr. Reid stated.

On a seasonally-atijusted basis a gradual reduction in total construction activity took place during the last half of 1951 from record levels of the preceding 18 months. A decline in new private homebuilding, restrictions on commercial building, and delays in non-defense construction projects, generally because of materials shortages, contributed to the downward trend.of new construction. Indications are that these factors will continue to have a depressing effect on the total volume of new construction in L952.

Despite larger doilar outlays in 1951 the physical volume of new construction put in place did not rise over 1950 levels. The additional dollars spent were absorbed by higher construction costs.

Total private outl4ys of $20.8 billion for new construction in 1951 were equal tc the 1950 total. While housing and retail store and recreational construction declined, an equivalent increase took place in cxpenditures for new industrial plants and utilities, office and warehouse buildings, religious and institutional construction. Expenditures for new industrial construction were nearly double the 1950 volume. Early in 1951, the rate of private investment in new construction was considerably above 1950 levels. Bv December, however, it had dropped to a point of. 12 per cent below a year ago.

More than $1 billion was spent on new military command facilities, nearly six times as much as in 1950. Outlays for atomic energy and defense plants amounting to $880 million were nearly fout times the 1950 total for such purposes. A new record was set in the volume of scl',ool building during 1951 when expenditures rose by 28 per cent. Highway construction and reclamation work wcre off siightly from 1950 levels.

Delays in obtaining materials especially for heavy construction projects began to appear by mid-1951. Nevertheless, builders continued to start a large number of new projects. By the fourth quarter, when construction came completely under the Controlled Materials Plan, structural steel and other critical materials were insumcient to provide for all projects already under way. Consequently, some projects were delayed. The inception rate cf new projects has declined in recent months, but the supply of materials available for non-defense construction has drvindled at a more rapid rate. Therefore, further delays in some projects not directly connected with defense production appear to be inevitable.

The busy retail lumber dealer is worth knowing. He is never found in a stagnant community, nor will you find him open for business unless he has good credit and the respect of the town's people . .
