Weyerhaeuser Sells Three Plywood Mills To Georgia Hardwood Lumber Co.

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. l7-Weyerhaeuser Timber Company sold its interest in the Washington Veneer Co. to the Georgia Haldwood Lumber Co., according to announcement made today by J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., president of Wayerhaeuser Timber Co. The transfer of stock affects two operating plants at Olympia, Wash., and one plant, an operating subsidiary of the Washington Veneer Co., known as the Springfield Plyrvood Corp., at Springfield, Oregon.

"In carrying out the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's whole crop utilization and integrated plant processing plans at our several branch operations, we have recently added modern plywood manufacturing facilities at Longview, Wash. Officers of the company felt that future embarrassments might arise through ensuing competition. They, therefore, recommended the sale of our interest in Washington Veneer Co. to a strong', ably managed competitor in whose control it appeared that the company could continue to prosper," stated J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., in his announcement.

Controlling interest in Washington Veneer Co. was acquired by Weyerhaeuser in 1940. During the intervening seven-year period, manufacturing facilities at Olympia were thoroughly re-arranged and modernized and the subsidiary plant at Springfield, Oregon was constructed and put into operation. This transformation has established Washington Veneer Co. as one of the leading manufacturers in the plywood field.

Georgia Hardwood Lumber Co., with home offices in Augusta, Ga., operates nine plants throughout the South and on the \\rest Coast. In May 1947, tbe company purchased the controlling interest in Bellingham Plywood Corporation of Bellingham, Wash., producers of Douglas Fir plyr,vood. The company's products consist of Southern and Appalachian hardwood lumber, Southern pine, treatecl lumber, poles, piling, veneers, hardwood plyu'ood and Douglas fir plyrvood. Owen R. Cheatham, president, made no immediate anr\ouncement of the operating plans fo: the newly acquired interests.
