Plywood Plont Instolls Testing..l"b

Tlmbe. Engineering Company (Teco) recently installed u :oT' plete testing lubot"tory in the new 20'acre plywood plant of the Ellington Timber Company in Baker, Oregon.

Sulpervising the lab is Jack Dillard (in plwto below) previously with U.S. Plywood in Lebanon, Oregon. Dillard's first assignment was at Farwest Plywood Company in Tacomao Washington, as the Teco "man-in-the-mill'"

Although in operation for only a short time, Ellington's plywood mill produces 250,000 square feet daily on a 3/8" basis' Dillard's job is to conduct daily tests on random samples to insure that the products meet the exacting industry standards that specify the quality requirements.

- This rigid testing schedule assures the Ellington Company consistently high quality plywood. Each panel leaving the plant bears the Teco stamp, and each shipment contains a certificate of conformance to specification, assuring the customer that the shipment will meet the industry standard for quality.

Southern Pine Plywood Growth In '65

"Capacity of the one-year-old southern pine plywood industry is expected to reach a billion square feet by the end of 1965 with the first three mills now operating and 13 'definite' new mills. New southern production will account for about two-thirds of national softwood plywood expansion now definitely scheduled for 1965. However, total national expansion still will barely equal annual sales increases of the past decade and should pose fcw new marketing problems." Frank V. Langfitt, a vice president ol Georgia-Pacific told a meeting of the National Building Material Distributors Association in Las Vegas. rer:ently.

He warned, however, that the steady increase in production and sales "will be possible only if we continue to improve our promotion program to meet competition of other products such as plastics and metals.

"We do not see new southern plywood mills basically as competing with western mills. but as supplying needed n,ew production as thc !(/est reacht-'s its capacity on a perrmanent sustainedvield timber growing basis."
