Retqil Choin Boqsts Besl Yeor Ever

J. W. Copeland Yards, the large lumber and building supplies organization based at Portland, has 72 outlets in five states, and has had "the best year in our 50 years of existence, and we look {or this year to be even better."

This was revealed by Joseph W. Copeland, president and gen' eral manager, at the end of a three-day meeting of managers. In reviewing the past year it was noted that Copeland added five more yards and now employes more than 420 persons. Volume was put at approximately $20 million.

In the optimistic forecast Ior 1964, Copeland pointed out that this will be a great home improvement year as trends show that more and more persons with families are reluctant to move. 'oThe result of all this, he explained, "is that people stay with their old homes, and are spending considerable sums in home improvement."

As a gesture in recognition of the fact that the Copeland organization observed its SOth year on November 12, 1963, Copeland was presented with a large clock by yard managers. The presentation was made by Kenneth C. Vadnais, manager of the yard at Reno, Nevada. Veteran head office employees also were recogrrized. It rvas shown that out of 25 persons in the head ofrce, l0 have a total of 214 years with Copeland.

Most veteran is Donald E. Graham, credit manager, who has 30 years, and Myles E. Dunbar, office manager, who has 24 years.

Copeland has his 72 yards scattered through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California and Nevada. Six are in the Portland area in addition to Copeland Wholesale, Co., and general headquarters.
