Boyle Heighrs Lumber Compony Storts $l OO,OOO lmprovement Progrom ot Ycrrd Esroblished in l9O8

"When this new building is completed during tfre month of April it will be just the start of a remodeling prog?am that will see every building in the yard replaced by new construction," said Allan Taylor, owner of the Boyle Heights retail lumber ffrm, which was established way back in 1908. It is the oldest retail lumber ffrm in the eastside district in years, but will be the newest when work is completed during the summer months.

The new concrete .building will eontain 19,/80' laminated beams and will cover an area of 80'x 185' of shopping, storage and display area, it was said. It will also replace the present ofrce building which was the start of the business more than a half century ago when Boyle Heights was "way out in the country" so to speak. Plans call for three additional storage warehouses, a mill facility and a new moulding shed, according to Allan Taylor and will be one of the most modern retail estbalshiments in the southland.

The Boyle Heights Lumber Company has glown with the neighborhood by serving the back-yard contractor, week-end builders and the industrial firms in its trade area. This progressive organization stocks every item for the builder, including hardware, pa,ints, cement, mouldings, wall surfacings and rough and finished lumber. "If we don't carry an item in stock we will secure it for our customer within 24 hours," said Ray Van Heukelon, who is first lieutenant in the sales and operations of the ofrce and yard.
