Woodfiber Products Thqt Won't Burn?

Woodfiber products that won't burn ? This question was answered for the nation's home builders when new noncombustible acoustical, decorative and insulating board products made of woodfibers were introduced at the National Association of Home Builders convention which opened December L2 at Qhicago's McCormick Place.

Called Pyrotect, the new products, made entirely of inexpensive woodfiber, represent a long-awaited breakthrough in the field of Iow-cost fire safety for the entire lightconstruction industry.

The exclusive new process was developed after years of intensive research by Simpson Timber Company. Simpson scientists devised a method of impregnating every single woodfiber with a permanent fireproofing chemical, similar to that which the company uses to fight forest fires. This process gives thorough fire protection throughout the ceiling tile and iusulating board.

Extensive tests to measure the new product's flame spread efficiency have been conducted in leading federal and private laboratories, including IJnderwriter's Laboratories, Inc., Chicago. Pyrotect is rated "noncombustible" as defined by the National Fire Protection Association and leading building codes across the United States. It is the first 'woodfiber insulating board prodcut to meet Class 1 standards with its low flame-spread rating.

Because of their sound deadening properties and modern appearance, Simpson acoustical woodfiber ceiling tile products have become well known and widely used throughout the world since being introduced to consumers seven years ago. Now, with the added feature of low-cost fire safety, they make possible great savings in the construction of retail stores, clinics, apartments, restaurants, home and related installations.

Caiifornia Iuiaber Merchani

Jack L. Wetherby, Jr., Simpson insulating board products official, stated "the use of Pyrotect will unquestionably become widespread as an increasingly fire-conscious public becomes aware that fire-safe products are now available in an affordable price rang'e . just slightly more than ordinary products without this protection."

Simpson Timber Company, one of the country's leading manufacturers of building products for 67 years, nationally markets products for residential, commercial and industrial construction including California redwood, construction and specialty plywoods, doors, Douglas fir and Hemloek lumber, acoustical and insulating board products as well as hardboard and roof deck.

Spring Promolions Give Soles lmpetus To Speciolty llems

Special spring promotions can pay ofi in increased sales of certain high-profit specialty items.

By promoting the installation of red cedar closet lining at a time when homeowners are concerned about the storage of valuable furs, woolens and other winter clothes, aggressive lumber dealers can chalk up unusually high sales of this specialty material.

"It doesn't take a great deal of efiort to spark these sales." according to Lee Seabolt, public relations director of the Aromatic Red Cedar Closet Lining Manufacturers Association.

Eye-catching displays, prime position in newspaper ads direct mail pieces have been used successfully by dealers to crease sales of this specialty item, Seabolt says.

'oHomemakers are looking for moth-repellent storag€ areas at this time of year, and home handymen are attracted by a weekend project that can be completed for approximately $50. This is especially true because the improvement also will increase the appraisal value of the house."

Since aromatic red cedar closet lining comes in pre-packaged bundles, it is easy to build a simple display in the window or on the floor. Complete installation instructions in each bundle make the project an easy one for the do-it-yourselfer.

Standqrdized Plywood Unit Strapping, Color ldentity ond tobeling Exponded

Automatic plywood unit strapping, labeling, branding, and color identification have been adopted as standard practice for all Georgia-Pacific western softwood plywood mills in Oregon, Washington and California.

The expanded and standardized program involves the largest single block of frr plywood production in the industry. It follows extensive market and production testing by several G-P plants that helped pioneer the indugtry trendn according to Frank V. Langfitt Jr., the company's western plywood marketing manager.

Automatic strapping machinery now has been installed in all western plants, he said. The extensive program involves both sanded and sheathing, plus textured, oierlaid and other specialties.

Units with a standard number of panels, depending upon thickness, have 2x4 separators attached for lift truck handling and stacking, he said. Color-code edge sealing or color grade stripes conform to the standard red for exterior and green for interior' Each unit also is labeled for grade, number of pieces and thickness.

On units carrying colored grade striping, one stripe indicates AA, two AB, three AC or AD, four BC or BD and five CD. The CD sheathing with an exterior glueline carries a red center stripe with four green stripes.

' Louis E. Navelleir, general manager of Hill Lumber & Hardware Co', AlbanY, i Calif., died suddenly on January 16' Known as Mi. "El Cerrito" by a good part of the town's population, Mr' Navellier joined the Hill organization 44 yearc ago as a yard man. The popular El Cerritan died unexpectedlY on JanuarY 16.

Born of French immigrant parents across the street from his home at 1337 Navellier Street, Mr, Navellier could well be known as "Mr. Lumber" too. He met his wife, Gladys, at Ilill Lumber & Hardware, and his son, Louis R. Navellier, is employed there today. Another son, Ernest, is in the masonry business in El Cerrito.

In 1934, Navellier was elected to the El Cerrito City Council in a landslide. After serving four years he was ofrered the judgeship, although he had no legal training. "It was in the good old days when you just used common sense," he used to chuckle when queried by friends.

From 1938 to 1944 he held that Post, finally giving it up when the mushrooming ' population forced court sessions at almost every hour of the day. Another "sideline" to which the busy lumber executive devoted much of his personal time was the El Cerrito City Club. Mr. Navellier was the founder and first president of the club, and !.i served as manager until 1951, when a heart ' attack advised him to start cruising instead of rushing, through life. Since then' Mr. Navellier contented himself with the man-sized job of managing one of the largest retail lumber operations in the East Bay area.

Your Spore Tire

Much of the expense from lost time and trouble from flat tires can be eliminated with a new product sold by Nadisco Incorporated, 1246 Folsom St., San Francisco 3, Calif.

Appropriately called Spare Tire, it is an aerosol container filled with compressed air and latex rubber. Spare tire instantly inflates the flat tire and seals the puncture in just 60 seconds, and cuts out flat tire changing of both tube and tubeless tires, the need for an extra wheel and tire, jack and other tools, loss of time and dirty hands and smudged clothing.

(Spare Tire) so that at the end of a ride on the repaired tire of over 43 kilometers (or about 27 miles) even with four persons in the car . there was no loss of air pressure in the tire.t' t'Noticeable also was the easy, simple handling of the product which makes tools, jacks and the mounting and dismounting of the wheels unnecessary and obsolete."

Spare Tire has been bought for sale or use by the following organizations; B'F. Goodrich, Firestone (Italy), Army-Navy PXs, State of California, San Francisco Police Department and other police departments. Spare Tire is standard equipment on all Honda motorcycles.
