Timbers o Redwood

REDWOOD BRICK

(Continued, lrom Page 40) tured to one-thirty-second of an inch tolerance and is fastened simply by nails. The ends of the brick interlock and the material fits together at both top and bot' tom. Certified redwood brick, as revealed to the public on Friday, February 5, in addition has all the components needed for corner posts, caps and water tables and is engineered to build a wall or complete house.

On his own property in Eureka, RuY Park, president of the Park Corporation, has constructed a five-room vacation house which has, to date, withstood seven miles of moving by Hyster lift trucks, an earthquake, 100-mile gales, storms and flood without a scratch.

"This is the Cadillac of building ma' terials," Oxford remarked upon displaying his new product. "Three years of engi' neering and research have gone into making it'one of the most beautiful and ver. satile building materials I have ever seen," the veteran lumberman declared.

Seven years ago, the idea of a singlewall buildine material cut and milled from

3'x41' redwood was conceived. Ray Park purchased the rights to manufacture, and in the past three years his company has invested coundess hundreds of hours, and money (in six figures) to perfect the brick to the point where it is one of the most sought-after products by imaginative dis' tributors in the country.

The Oxford franchise is the only one awarded thus far, due to the burgeoning building boom in the southern California area, and to Oxford's lO-year success in the [,os Angeles market.

Warehouse handling of the new product

And

is being done by the Carroll Moulding Company, Roy Carroll, president. The Carroll firm is adjacent to Oxford's office, and the two men have worked together since their individual businesses were estab. lished.

Oxford manufactures a line of emboesed mouldings which are exclusively handled by the Carroll Moulding Company. Long known as an outstanding moulding jobber, Carroll has one of the largest lines of pine, redwood, ash, mahogany and birch mouldings in southern California. He has recently added hardwood, dowels, picture frame moulding, cedar scallop moulding and decorative moulding to his inventory.

Carroll also has modern handling equipment to facilitate what Oxford refers to as t'sudden service" to his customers.

"I have known Rex for over ten years," Carroll sayg "and his tremendous energy and ability to look into the future. I haven't seen him pick a loser yet. He has tremendous foresight and knows how to plan for future markets. Redwood brick. I am convinced, has a glowing future and will see worldwide acceptance beyond our wildest dreams,"
