Hecolhorn Nomed Sqles Monoger

Lloyd L. Hecathorn has been named general sales manager for Arcata Redwood Company, according to Howard A. Libbey, president, and Byron B. Miller, manager.

Lloyd took over his new responsibilities in February at the company's General Office in Arcata. In making the announcement Libbey stated, "Lloyd's advancement marks a major change in our sales division. We formerly maintained eastern and western sales as separate departments. We have now consolidated all sales, eastern, western and export under one head.

Lloyd brings to his new job a solid background of sixteen years in lumber sales. He literally grew up in an atmosphere where lumber was king. A native of Eugene, Oregon, graduate of the University of Oregon and a veteran of World War II where he served in the U. S. Navy as an officer. He was employed by Paramino Lumber Company of San Francisco in sales in 1947. He traveled their San Joaquin Valley territory until January 1954, when he was selected by the Iate Frank Watson to represent At"aiu Redwood Company in the same territory. He succeeded Watson in 1955 as western sales manager for the company, a position he held uitil his recent promotion.

Lloyd's redwood experience parallels the growth of Arcata Redwood Company. When he was first employed the compariy produced and sold primarily rough green redwood. Later they were able to offer airseasoned and green stock. With further growth the company now produces a com. plete line of Certified Kiln Dried items, airseasoned and green redwood, surfaced, run to pattern or mouldings as well as End Glued and Edge Glued products. With this experience of expanding his sales knowledge as tlle company developed he is able to offer the best possible service to Arco custorners.

Weyerhoeuser Annuol

Weyerhaeuser Company reports earnings increased 12 percent in 1963 and that sales set a record for the second straight year.

Norton Clapp, president, said net income rose to $44,167,000, equal to $1.44 a share, from $39,06I,000, or $1.29 a share, in 1962. Sales totaled $581,897,000, an increase of $38,700,000 over the 1962 fieure.

Clapp termed 1963 "a year of substantial progress." He said, however, that heavy price pressures and a nine-week work stoppage last summer during the peak of the wood products sales season "reduced sales and earnings by very substantial amounts. This precluded realization of what otherwise would have been much better results,"

NMLA Tokes New Tock On "lumber Morking"

Frustrated, for the time being at least, by President Johnson's pocket veto of the softwood "oountry of origin" marking bill, manufacturers are now taking an entirely new approach.

According to an NLMA spokesman, o'The American lumber industry, keenly disappointed at the action of President Johnson in vetoing the lumber marking bill, has arranged for a meeting between industry leaders and top officials of the Commerce and S.tate Departments to explore a program which the Administration feels it might be able to support in efforts to deal with the problem of Canadian softwood imports,"
