United States Plywood Corp. broke ground early irr January for a new warehouse and ofrfrce building at 1468 West 12th St. in Long Beach, Calif. The company will be putting up a tilt-up concrete warehouse and ofifrce space and, as in all the USP distribution warehouses, the new one will carry a full line of products. Completion is hoped for during April.

The Long Beach location will complete a circle of USPlywood warehouses covering the greater Los Angeles merchandising area, reports Irl E. Matheny, sales promotion manager, Western division. Established branches are located in Culver City, Glendale, San Bernardino ar-rd Santa Ana, with the main distribution warehouse in Los Angeles proper.

A beautiful office is planned for display of all the USProducts, as has been the custom in all the u'arehouseoffices, where the customers may bring their own customers to see the products installed. Handsome panelings will be used throughout.

Conrad R. "Ray" Kelley will be supervisor of the new warehouse in Long Beach. He has been with U. S. Plywood about 7rl years, spending most of his time in San Diego, starting on the inside order desk, working up to outside sales, and going to Los Angeles last June 1 to supervise the new operation.

When Uncle Sam counts every American in the April 1960 Census he will be counting about 45 times the number he counted in the ffrst Census in 1790-180 million as against 3.9 million.
