Eugene Field

Modern business has come to understand how important a part the writing of wise and interesting letters can play in business.

One of the great letter writers of history was the poet, Eugene Field. Elbert Hubbard wrote this about him: ,,His letters breathed kindness, appreciation, truth, understanding. A man who got one of these letters would never part with it. Each letter bore an element of joy, a message of wisdom, a jigger of wit to give the wisdom favor. Each letter was short. When he was through his letter ended. No postscripts. He never preached. His letters never called you down. They called you up. Up into the sunlight of friendly interest. fle never uttered a gloomy thought.

Only happy thoughts should be perpetuated on paper. His letters made you pleased with yourself-with the world. He came right to the point. Never hid a grain of kindness under a bushel of wordy chaff. A lot of loose words turn the milk of human kindness to clabber."

Such was the letter writing of Eugene Field.

Readers will be interested ,o Lno* th"t Eugene Field's grandson is Frederick S. "Fred" Field, Southern California salesman for the Roddis Division of the Weyerhaeuser Company. Though his grand- father died before Fred was born, Fred grew up in the Field lamily honre in Chicago.

Wholesole Lumbermen of Southern Cqlifornio Elect New Directors, lnstoll New Officers

lf ighlight of the February 28 meeting of the Wholesale I:L Lum:bermen's Associati,on of SouthErn California, held at the Los Angeles Athletic Club, was the election and installation of new officers ar-rd three new members of the Board of Directors.

William J. Hanen (Al Peirce Co.) has been chosen President to succeed James W. Newquist (Jas. W. Newquist Co.). William E. Baugh (Baugh Bros. &_Co.) and earl E. Poynor (Wholesale Forest Products Co.) were elected Vice Presidents. Baugh had previously served as Secretary and Poynor as Treasurer. Peter V. Speek (Fremont Forest Products) and John P. Weston (Far West Fir Sales Co.) will serve as the Secretary and the Treasurer, respectively.

Richard Fenton continues as Executive Vice President'

Preliminary to the regular meeting the Board of Directors welcomed into their membership W. E. Bright (Tarter, Webster & Johnson, Inc., Van Nuys), James H. Forgie (Robert S. Osgood, Inc.) and John F. Hanson (Gulf Pacific Land & Lumber Co.). Hanson was the first President of the group when it was organized in 1958.

The three men will each serve a three-year term and join Directors William Baugh, William Hauen, Carl Poynor, Ted Roy (Roy Forest Products Co.), Peter Speek and John Weston on the Board.

Following the installation cerentonies, President-elect Hanen presented outgoing President Jim Newquist with a gift and a resolution of appreciation for his services, which all members present were asked to sign.

, The principal speaker of the evening was Arch D. Hardyment, Assistant Vice President of Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles and Assistant Manager of the Bank's Research Department.

With his subject "A Look at the Building Industry for L961 ," Mr. Hardyment said: "The unemployment picture in the Los Angeles area, while increasing in January, has been in line wifh normal seasonal patterns. On a seasonally adjusted basis, employment showed virtually no ch.ange from the Decembei level, was below the recent peak es-

tablished in November, and was also moderately below the levels reached in the Spring of 1958. As a percentage of the labor force, unemployment (seasonally adjusted) stood at 6.3/o in January, as compared with 6.6/o in November, and 7.3/o in April 1958."

Mr. Hardyment also stated that "a total of 130,510 family dwelling units were authorized for construction in the 14-county area of Southern California during the year 1960. This represented a decline of 2.5/o from the average of 133,881 dwelling units per year during the ten years 1950 through 1959." He estimated that 130,000 units for 196l was "within attainable limits, which indicates a moderate outlook for the lumber industry for the balance of the year."

A question and answer period followed Mr. Hardyment's discussion.

In his closing comments retiring President Newquist observed that "the lumber wholesaler continues to,have basic confidence which is justified again by the facts produced at our annual meeting and while caution is being currently exercised in the lumber market, there are no valid reasons why the market should not improve considerably d-uring the balance of the year and reach or exceed the 130,000 unit estimate.

Mr. Newquist thanked the membership for the privilege of serving as their President and advised that he was preparing a written report to express hig appreciation to the many committeemen who had worked so strongly for the Association's welfare and the welfare of the entire industry.

Big Arizono Wood Products Industry Potentiql Erplored

Phoenix, Ariz.-Arizona's 17,000,000 acres of commercial and non-commercial timberland represents one of the greatest untapped industrial potentials in the Southwest.

That is the finding of a special forest products study made by the Arizona Development Board and the Forestry Division of Arizona State College.

Though lumbering now accounts for Arizona's fourth largest industrial payroll and contributes some $30 million to the overall economy of the state, the study report concludes that the surface has barely been scratched.

It shows that, despite its wealth of raw material, the state has virtually no so-called "secondary" wood products industries.

More than 99 percent of the present timber output is sawmilled into lumber, and 90 percent of that is shipped to other states "often to be processed or remanufactuied and shipped back into Arizona for ultimate consumption."

The report, co-ordinated by ASC's Dr. Charles O. Minor and Edward P. Enders, Industrial Director of the Arizona Development Board, with the help of other state and federal forestry experts, points out that at least a dozen other wood industries could be supported without depleting Arizona's forest resources.

Among those suggested were:

Plywood Manufacturing-The study found that veneering of any sort was "practically unexplored" in Arizona. Yet the state has a good growth of aspen, widely used in other areas for both container and commercial grade veneer.

Pole Processing-Surveys by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Indian Affairs estimate that in two areas. Arizona

has a yield capacity of more than 80,000 poles per year. Despite this potential, the state must currently import ivery communications and power pole it uses because it has n-o commercial pressure-treating plant. The report estimates the in-state demand alone at 25,W to 30,000 poles annually.

Fence Posts-Though Arizona has an almost limitless supply of such fence post timbers as juniper, pinon pine and ponderosa, it still imports 40 percent of its annual demand for lack of treating plant facilities.

Secondary Manufacture-The report points out that the state has both the raw materials and natural market for pine and juniper furniture, architectural woodwork, paneling, cabinet work and even toys. Practically no such finished wood products are now produced in Arizona.

Naval Stores-Though admitting it is in the future, Dr. Minor and his associates say "the resource potential of this industry is considerable." The industry, now located almost entirely in the South, involves the recovery of resin, turpentine, pine oil and charcoal from sap and stumpage.

The report lists a fistful of other sidebar wood industries such as charcoal manufacturing, oil and gum .processing, soil supplement production, and expanded Christmas tree marketing which the experts feel would bolster the state's economy and create new industrial payrolls.

Development Board Director, Bernard M. Mergen, said the study would be used to entice such industries to take a closer look at Arizona's raw material and market potential for forest products.

A similar Development Board study of scrap metal resources, resulted in the Western Rolling Mill Division of Yuba Industries locating a steel plant south of Tempe.

U. S. Legislotors Now Considering Woge-Hour Bill

The House of Representatives is now debating the controversial issue of extending the Wage-Hour law to retail firms and increasing the minimum wage to one dollar and twenty-five cents per hour.

The Chairman of the Committee, Representative Adam Clayton Powell, has announced that the committee will hear testimony of only three of the larger groups representing business and. all other trade associations will be foreclosed from testifying.

It is reported that the Committee will probably approve the President's bill or something similar. The bill then goes to the House floor for debate.

The Senate has an identical bill-S.895.

Ilere's what HR-3935 and 5.895 would do:

(1) Would extend coverage to retail enterprises having over one million dollar volume of sales annually.

(2) Would cover firms in construction or reconstruction doing three-hundred and fifty thousand dollars of sales.

(3) For those firms now having only one or two employees in interstate commerce, it would place all of the firm's employees under the act.

(4) For the newly covered employees, the minimum wage would be one dollar the first vear. one dollar and five cents the second year, one dollar and fiiteen cents the third year and one dollar and twenty-five cents thereafter.

These firms would not be subiect to overtime the first year but would be subject to overtime as follows :

(a) Over 44 hours during the second year.

(b) Over 42 hours during the third year.

(c) And over 4O hours thereafter.

The overtime would be based not on the one dollar or one dollar and twenty-five minimum but on your regular rate paid your employees above the minimum.

"Enterprise" means one or more units under common control or unified operation. It is not clear as to what would be. considered under common control or unified operation.

The Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California has taken a stand in opposition to the changes in and extension of the Wage-Hour bill, based upon the following points : "If this bill passes this year it is only a question of time before Congress expands coverage to all retail firms regardless of size. Then the next step, aside from additional increases in the minimum wage, will be to reduce the number of hours such firms may operate without paying overtime"; "The current bill is only a 'foot-in-the-door' action later to be built upon and is an unwarranted extension of Federal control in an area rightfully belonging to the States."

Continues the Association's report : "Retailing, regardless of size, has long been recognized as local in character. Each retail establishment must adjust its hours and wages to meet local competition and local customs which will vary from community to community. Wages and hours applicable in larger cities in the East would have no bearing on or resemblance to wage and hours of firms in rural areas and otheq sections of the country. A retail firm in Kansas City competes with other retailers in that area and not with retail firms in New York or here in California.

"To regulate wages and hours in a manufacturing concern which can close down when its business falls ofi is one thing. To regulate wages and hours of a retail store which must remain open at regular hours and which must pay its emplcyees regardless of the amount of business the firm does is another thing.

"Furthermore, if a firm is covered and it finds it must raise the wages of its lowest-paid employees, it must necessarily raise the wages of its higher-paid employees to (Continued, on Page 74)

H&HFA Heod Demonds "Aclion"

Speaking before a luncheon session of Action, Inc., an organization interested in neighborhood improvement, Roberf C. Weaver, administrator of the Housing and Home Finance Agency, told the group earlier this month that a drop of home building to one of the lowest ebbs since World War II is perpetuating the Nation's economic slowdown.

\Meaver told the group that housing starts are 20/o below a year ago. \Morse yet, he said, new starts are onethird below the rate of two years ago-a drop during the two year period from 1,500,000 (1959) to barely more than 1,000,000 units last January on a seasonally adjusted basis.

"This means lost homes, lost jobs and wages, lost capital and lost production," Weaver said. "This lag is doubly serious when it serves to compound the general economic slow-down that has beset us during the past year."

'Weaver further stated that the supply of good housing for minority families is not in proportion to their ability to pay. As for the rural slum, \Meaver said it "persists and we still take it for granted. It is time we ceased to tolerate it."

Sterling Lumber Compony Stocks New Line of Points

- Frederick Sayre, president of the 16-yard Sterling T,urn6s1 Compatry chain, recently announced that his firm will nou' handle the complete line of Boysen Colorizer Paints on an exclusive basis. Mr. Sayre further stated that they would concentrate on directing their advertising promotions to the home-owner "do-it-yourself" clientele. Mr. Sayre was of the opinion that Boysen paints were highly geared to meet their merchandising Plans.

Sterling Lumber Company was incorporated in 1916 as a one-yard 6peration. Since then the company has had a steady growth and today it rates as one of the three largest line yard lumber companies in California. All of their attractive yards, sixteen in total, are ideally located in:

Oroville, Chico, Willows, Red Bluff, Redding, Roseville, Folsom, Placerville, Oakley, Morgan Hill, Petaluma, Hollister, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Mountain View and Santa Rosa. Each yard carries a complete, rounded-out stock of lumber, building materials, hardware and paint.

Mr. Sayre joined the Sterling organization in 1916, and became sicreiary-treasurer of the company during 1922. In 1955, Fred Sayre became president of the firm which maintains headquarters at 1617 - 32nd' Street, Oakland, California.

Pocific Coost Proxy Fighr Ccrlled Off

Disgruntled stockholders patched up their differences with the Pacific Coast Company on February 28, ending a proxy fight started on February 1. The contesting parties also agreed to drop all court proceedings centered on the proxy fight.

The settlement amounts to a compromise. Richard Fuite, nominated by the proxy group as a director, has been installed on -Pacific Coast's nine man board. The stockholders committee had asked for six seats on an expanded 15 man board.

The committee may still place other names in nomination with the company's lilessing at the annual _meeting in-May. In a joint stitement issued yesterdlY, _Hugh Jay Jacks. presid-ent o{ the company, and Fred.W. Nley-e-r, chairman of the three-man stocliholders committee, said: "It is contemplated that shareholders will be given an opportunity to approve additional representation for the committee at the annual meeting."

No mention was made of Delbert \A/. Coleman, Chicago industrialist and president of Seeburg Corp-, whose 56,000 shares were the power behind the stockholders committee' Coleman and his Chicago attorney Hammond E' Chafretz also were slated for directorships in proxy requests clrculated by the committee.

Solicitation of proxies was halted February-6, by u Federal Court restraining order obtained in San Francisco by Jacks and the Pacific Coast Company.

Know Your Compefition

An Open Letter to the Lumber Industry Gentlemen:

Anyone connected with the forest products industry knows what inroads competitive materials have made. The National \Arood Piomotion Program is doing an excellent job in revitalizing demand for wood products and providing technical knowledge to lumbermen for increased sales. It has been obvious, however, that lumbermen do not generally have product knowledge about materials rvhicl.r are being substituted for wood.

Lumbermen must face uD to the fact that technical research by competitive materials has developed certain products which perform better than wood. But we know that r,vood has basic characteristics which make it vastly superior to most of its competition, in quality ancl price. It is our belief that it is time for lumbermen to be more specific about its comoetition.

Too often Lrmber wl-rolesalers, manufacturers and commission men feel that it is the responsibility of someone else . such as industry associations . to effectively "fig1-rt substitute materials." Certainly the associations can do a lot. but thev cannot be the army of individr.rals necessarv to cariy wood's story to retailers, contractors and architects who don't have to depend on wood to make a living.

Nfany of the examples have been reported by enrollees in National-American's Sales Training Program. Other information was obtained from N.L.M.A.. manufacturing associations, and a booklet lvhich we highly recommend published by Edward Hines Lumber Company entitled "A Case For Wood." We urge the readers of Nalrla Forum to send us specific examples where competitive materials have been surpassed by wood products. As the industry shares the knowledge gained from actual sales experience, we r,vill be able to success- fully meet u'ood's competition before high-pitched advertising ancl promotion from orlr competitors makes the sale.

It's time to call a spade a spade.

Donald S. Andrews, Western Manager, National-American Whsl. Lbr. Assn.

John Reno Addresses Group ot Purdue

Speaking at the annual banquet of the Co-operative Kiln prying Short Course at Purdue University on February 28, John Reno of Palco Redwood was critical of the 'past reluctance of the lumber industry to adopt needed reforms in manufacture, drying and other aspects of lumber production and marketing.

He voiced cautious praise of progressive measures that are gaining acceptance: finger-jointing for long lengths; edge-gluing for wide widths ; mill priming of siding; shipments in packages wrapped in water-repellent paper; carloading in units for easy fork-lift unloading; and laminating of arches arrd beams.

Mr. Reno expressed unbounded optimism for the future, based upon industry adoption of such progressive ideas as a single set of grades and grade names for all species, a single table of thicknesses and widths for all species, kiln drying to the right moisture content for the job to be done, universal grade marking, development of complete exterior paint systems to be applied at the sawmill prior to shipment, and other advances long overdue.

Plywood'Supermorkets' R,eody

A concerted drive to help bring new pep into the building industry will be sparked by leading building material dealers on a nationwide basis during March, April and May.

New plywood products, new values and a "supermarket" atmosphere of banners, pennants and display cards will highlight the campaign. There also will be a series of free detailed plans for around-the-house projects made from plywood, available through participating dealers to both builders and home owners.

The promotion program, to include some 4500 leading dealers, has been organized by Georgia-Pacific Corp., the nation's largest plywood manufacturer. Individual dealer promotions will not be limited to G-P products, however.

"Real values and real sales promotion at the consumer level are two of the things the industry needs right now," G-P officials point out. "We believe that live-wire dealers are a major key to rejuvenation of the building industry in 1961."

The company is backing dealers with a nationwide adrrtising Drosram aimed at the "Parade of Plvwood vertising program aim Values" theme of the c; t Plywood e campaign at the retail level.

At the same time, G-P has made a rapid-fire product training program available for dealer personnel, centered around "very short meetings using a new training principle that gets results." It will include technical information to help both dealers and their customers.

G-P is supplying dealers with a variety of pennants, indoor and outdoor banners and point-of-purchase display cards, along with advertising mats, radio spot copy and mailing pieces to tie directly into the "Parade of Plywood Values" theme.

Dealers will be supplied with their "supermarket" materials the first part of March through specially-trained

representatives from Georgia-Pacific distribution centers in key U.S. cities.

"Dealers won't be confined to pushing G-P products, since the trade-stimulation program is aimed at arousing interest in the timeliness of building and remodeling generally," G-P explains, "but we know the new values and new products now available in fir plywoods will prove to be a major attraction."

E.5. Brush & Sons Stqrts I lth Yeqr Wirh Brond-New Fqcilities

E. S. Brush & Sons, formerly located at Pier 92 in San Francisco, celebrated its tenth year of serving the industrial, custom and commercial builders in the Citv Area bv moving to larger and more workable quarters at 1313 Armstrong, between Hawes and Ingalls, in the southern industrial section of San Francisco. The company's business phones-Mlssion 8-2323 and Mlssion 8-2182-remain unchanged.

The new yard covers some 2 acres of level property and is set up for all-mechanical handling. Facilities include a brand-new office building', a new 50 by 80 clear-span warehouse f_or dry storage and a new spur track, compliments of the Southern Pacific.

Unfortunately, the. company's relocation in its new quarters could not be reviewed by its founder, the late Edmund S. Brush, who died suddenly just short of a month before the firm was to move (CLM g/I/ffi). Mr. Brush, who had spent his lifetime in lumber, established E. S. Brush & Sons. at its original Pier 92 location during 1950, after terminatlng a 4O year long association with toop Lumber & Mill Company which closed, its San Francisco yard the same year. Mr. Brush was vice-president and manager of Loop's San Francisco yard when the consolidation took effect.

Now in the capable hands of Brush's two sons, Edouard and Frank, the company continues on with a new physical appearance-but the same tried-and-true policy with which Edmund Brush built his business-dependable, honest dealings with customers and suppliers alike. Both Frank and Ed received their initial lumber training with the Loop organization, Frank joining his dad at the outset of the business, and Ed picking up a couple of years of valuable wholesale experience, first with the late George Kendrick, and later in his own wholesale office on San Francisco's Market Street.

AMY GRIEF

Four O'Clock in the Morning

The Boston advertising man, Tim Thrift, told this story in Tom Dreier's "The Vagabond":

A citizen of a New Hampshire town died. There were no relatives. At his death he left two sealed communications. One was to his lawyer, and the other to the undertaker. The letter to the lawyer was to be opened only AFTER the funeral. The undertaker was told exactly what to do. The minister and pallbearers were named and were to be paid for their services, and the time of the funeral was set for four o'clock in the morning.

Just four of the old man's neighbors attended the funeral, at what to the rest of the people must have seemed an ungodly hour. When the letter to the lawyer was opened it was learned that the old man's estate was to be divided pro rata among those who attended his funeral. The value of the estate was $400,000.

Armsfrong Cork Promofes Ceiling Tile Soles

A handy ceiling installation kit containing practically everything needed to install a nelv tile ceiling .ivill be offered to homeowners free of charge this Spring with the purchase of a new Armstrong ceiling. Armstrong Cork Company is making the offer through lumber dealers as part of a nationwide "Weekend Wonder" promotion aimed at stimulating ceiling tile sales in the do-it-yourself remodeling market.

Contained in the kit are a ceiling tile knife with blades, a six foot steel tape, chalk and chalk line, a colorfully imprinted carpenter's apron, and a 24-page illustrated booklet of installation instructions. Armstrong is furnishing the kits to dealers at cost, along with a free package of advertising and merchandising aids to help promote the offer locally.

J. O. Sampson, Manager of Lumber Dealer Sales for Armstrong, said the promotion is designed to help Armstrong dealers capture a greater share of their local ceilings market, and at the same time maintain a fair profit margin on every ceiling sale. He said the kit, if properly promoted, could be an excellent means of attracting new customers into the yard.

Builders Get First Look Af Noil-Bose Sheothing

Chicago-Thousands of home builders got their first look at a relatively new insulation board product-nail-base sheathing-at the recent How-To-Do-It Carnival in connection with the annual National Association of Horne Builders convention in McCormick Place.

Robert A. LaCosse. technical director of the Insulation

FASI? /

MAdison 7-5304

Board Institute r,vhich sponsored the demonstration exhibit, said:

"Home builders were especially impressed with the fact tl-rat insulation board nail-base sheathing allows the direct nailing of wood or asbestos cement shingles which saves up to $40 per house. Because nail-base is a high-density sheathing, it exceeds the FHA nail holding requirements thereby permitting the direct application of shingles."

LaCosse also said builders were pleased to learn tl-rat the use of nail-base sheathing eliminates the need for corner bracing in home construction which saves builders up to an additional $35 per house. And, even though nail-base is a high-density insulation board prodnct, it still provides twice the insulation value provided by the next-best competitive sheathing product.

An air-porvered stapling gun was used in the actual application of nail-base sheathing to studs. The demonstrator applied a f-inch, 4 x 8 ft. sheet of nail-base in less than one minute.

Nail-base sheathing now is available from most of the 14 IBI member comoanies.

Metropoliton Growth qnd Building

Pqtterns Being Studied

Seattle, Wash.-A study of metropolitan growth and b-uilding patterns is being conducted by the University of Washington's College of Architecture and Urban Planning

under a contract with Weyerhaeuser Company.

The project, emphasizing suburban development, involves gathering and analyzing data affecting present and potential markets for building materials, and building trends.

The study is scheduled for completion this summer.

Professor M1'er R. \Alolfe, in charge of the College's urban planning curricula, is directing the study with Arthur H. Yoshioka, Claudio Arenas and Bruce C. Laing, research assistants on the College staff. Weyerhaeuser is represented by Stewart D. Barradale, manager of the light construction iesearch department in the Seattle branch of the company's research division.

Researchers will analyze factors which determine the location and physical patterns and forms of construction in suburbs. They also will appraise the role of builderdevelopers in housing and its influence on shopping and industrial areas, and will make findings on housing densities, building types and suburban land-use patterns.

Weyerhaeuser is financing the study under a research project contract approved by the University's board of regents. The company's research division established a Seattle branch last June to permit its scientists to maintain closer contacts with University Dersonnel.

According to Exposition Committee Chairman Robert J. McCutchan, use of McCormick Place will, for the first time, make it possible to schedule every event counected with the show in one central location.

"Every one of our business clinics and action demonstrations will take place in the same building where our exhibitors will display their latest products and services," Mr. McCutchan said. "The building also boasts some of the finest restaurant facilities I have ever seen anywhere, so it will be both possible and profitable for the thousands of building materials dealers who attend the show to come over to the hall for the early morning management clinics, have breakfast and lunch, and spend the entire day visiting exhibit booths."

Much of the Chicago meeting was devoted to developing a program which will attract and be profitable to dealers. Deyo W. Johnson, Ellenville, New York, program chairman, has already begun surveying dealers, state and regional lumber dealer associations, trade and shelter press editors, and other industry leaders for ideas on Prograrns which would prove most valuable to attendees.

Dry Kiln Glub Meets

The first meeting of the Central California Dry Kiln Club for 1961 was held at the U.S. Plywood Corporation, Anderson, California, last month, with president Joe Hughes, Hughes Brothers, presiding over the afternoon business sesslons.

After a brief discussion by Bob Keeling and Brown

Miller, both of whom spoke of the advantages the club offered to their company (U.S. Plywood Corp.), Harvey Smith, Pacific Southwest Forest & Range Experiment Station, Berkeley, started the ball rolling by outlining the lumber drying phase of the log grade and lumber recovery study recently completed with the Ralph L. Smith Lumber Company.

Art Uhl, Texas Refining Company, then talked on the advantages of adequate kiln coatings to provide an impervious vapor barrier on the inside surfaces of dry kilns.

Next in line was Joe Grist, kiln Superintendent at Collins Pine Company, who described and illustrated a new system for reporting daily readings of the company's new automatic, continuous moisture detector. As the loss of grade and footage during drying and subsequent remanufacture due to overdrying is more serious than a reasonable percent of stock being somewhat too wet, Grist noted that through use of the detector the percent "too wet," "OK," and "too dry" for each species and thickness is recorded daily. To prevent an unacceptable amount of lumber being overdried, some lumber that is marked as "too wet" is pulled, and repiled for redrying.

G-P Unveils World's lorgest Plywood Press

A scientific break-through, ranked among the most sig- nificant in history of the forest products industry, has resulted in a completely new process for laminating wood. An unusual concept in building materials is the end product.

The new technique is the first continuous proiess for making plywood, it is announced by Georgia-Pacific Corporation, largest of the world's plywood makers.

Described as "the plywood of the future," the Company's new panels have been named "Fiber-Ply" and will start leaching U.S. markets from a new G-P plant in Springfield, Oregon, at the rate of 2,ffi0,W square feet a month (sfi-inch basis) within the next few weeks.

New Manufacturing Concept

"Our new concept in manufacturing, which eliminates many time consuming and costly steps, has resulted in a hard-surfaced panel with many new qualities. It will make plywogd even more competitive in the world's building materials markets," according to R. B. Pamplin, G-P president.

The new panel has two more "plys" than regular plywood, including a tough built-in smooth surface on both sides that eliminates need for a paint undercoat. It also eliminates checking and minimize grain raise, the announcement said.

The process is centered around a new type of "hot press" unveiled by G-P as the largest plywood press in the world. It has 60 openings in rvhich individual panels of Fiber-Ply become a permanent bonding of strong fir veneers and resin-impregnated wood fiber in one continuous operation.

Pamolin said that Fiber-Ply, despite its new qualilies, will be sold in the same price bracket as conventional fir plywood of similar grade.

The process, developed by G-P research teams, completely reverses the traditional method of plywood manufacture. Within minutes, on a continuous basis, green veneers move directly from the log into the 4l-foot-high press and are heat bonded with dry glue and outside layers of resin-impregnated G-P kraft pulp into a permanently bonded and completely dry panel ready for shipment.

J. T Buckley, G-P vice president in charge of research, explained the result as "a new panel with more stability than standard fir plywood yet with all its strength, plus a smooth one-piece surface that is an integral part of the panel. The surface sharply reduces the amount of paint required, and greatly extends life of the paint job.

"The new process also allows uSe of low-grade veneers for a premium quality product, thus additionally lowering costs and insuring better utilization of our timber reserves," he explained.

Current test runs have proved highly successful, and full production is to start shortly at the Springfield plant, which has not yet been opened to visitors.

- Fiber-Ply has 5 plys instead of conventional plywood's 3 plys in the s/s-inch thickness. This includes 2 plyl of resinimpregnated wood fiber and 3 plys of wood veneer. The f , s/s and /a-inch thicknesses have 7 plys instead of the normal 5.

Both exterior and interior grades are being manufactured. Initial production will be in 4 x S-foot panels.

Will Open New Markets

Pamplin, in announcing the new process, said that .,we expect this break-through in forest products manufacture tcr open_ many new markets on the basis of both highly competitive cost and new qualities.

"The forest industry for many years has sought a method of manufacturing plywood in a continuous operaManufacturers of QUALITY produds Wholesale onlg!

tion. This has now been accomplished. The process has been fully patented, and production and distribution will be exclrrsively by Georgia-Pacific."

The material has been tested for use anywhere conventional interior or exterior fir plywood is used, "and it will open other areas in which ordinary plywood has not been able to compete," it rvas added.

In the new G-P continuous plyrvood making process, drying of veneers actually takes place in the hot press as part of the new concept in permanent bonding. In the traditional method of plywood manufacture, separate drying of veneers is required, plus the use of wet glue instead of dry ghre as in the G-P process.

One of the principal purposes of the agreement is to provide for the tax-free exchange of shares of Western Pacitrc ior shares of Santa Fe. He pointed out that the plan, coupled with previous agTeements between both companies that the movement of traffic through the Utah and Bieber Gateways will be fostered and maintained, assures tfiat the public will continue to receive the benefits of active and aggressive rail competition and

The ag:reement provides that "The intent and pu{pose of Santa F'e in acquiring control of Western Pacific is to continue it as an active and aggressive competitor in the areas which it now serves. To that end it will be ma^naged and operated as a separate railroad, pursuant generally to its own past policies and practices with respect to rates, service, and operation."

The new plan agreed upon, Whitman arrd Marsh asserted, contemplates the creation of a new corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Santa X'e. The new company, which would be called Western Pacific Railway Company, would issue all of its stock to the Santa Fe in return for a number of shares equal to one and one-quarter shares of Santa Fe stock for each share of outstanding stock of the present Western Pacific Railroad Company. The new company would thereupon transfer these Santa, Fe shares to the present Western Paciflc Railroad Company in return for the conveyance by the latter company of all of its assets of every description. T.lre Western Paciflc Railroad Company would then be dissolved, apportioning its sole remaining assets consisting of Santa F e shares pro rata among its stockholders as a flnal distributive dividend.

Southwest Foresf Appoinrs Sternberger V. P.

Phoenix, Ariz.-Southwest Forest Industries announced the appointment of Robert M. Sternberger of New York as Vice President in charge of the Snowflake Pulp and Paper Division.

Born in Neu'ark, New Jersey, Sternberger attended Lehigh University, in Pennsylvania, majoring-in Industriai Engineering. After graduation from Lehigh in 1950 he served as a First Lieutenant with the 8th Fighter-Bomber Command in Korea.

Sternberger's association with the pulp and paper industry dates back to 1956 when he joined ine Uatitax Power and Pulp Co. Since l9S7 he has been Vice President of lfearst Enterprises, Inc., a subsidiary of the Hearst Corporation responsible for paper procurement for the Hearst papers and management of Hearst owned paper mills.

Sternberger is married to the former Marlene lfamann of Chicago. They have three children, Robert H., 4; Kimberly Ann, 2; and 4 months old Laura Sue.

The announcement of Sternberger's appointment was made by R. E. Baker, Executive Vice President of Southwest, who noted that, "Mr. Sternberger will assume his duties immediately. These will include supervising the construction of the pulp and paper mill and, upon its comple- tion, scheduled for the latter part of this year, will be responsible for its operation."

The pulp and paper mill being built 14 miles west of Snowflake at a cost of $32.5 million is the first newsprint and kraft paper mill in the Southwest region.

Three out of four new churches have roofs of eng'ineered timber construction. Most of these feature glued laminated wood.

Washington-Many of the new homes of 1961 will feature the use of timber beams; rafters and joists; and attractive wood millwork and interior finish, according to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Among the reasons cited by the association are: new and improved methods of engineering in wood, ready availability at retail lumber yards, development of modern finishes and paints and modern adhesives.

Engineering in wood has produced desigrrs which not only save metals, but actually save on the use of wood itself. Wood-trussed construction, for example, not only produces a saving in lumber but reduces construction costs and time. ft.also results in a sturdy, attractive building. New g:lue-laminating techniques permit the production of "shop-grown" timbers of sizes and shapes which were unknown several decades ago.

Wood interior paneling has brought new interest, new character, and new beauty to the interior of today's homes. Some of the most distinctive and best looking "character marked" rooms in the small, but smart new homes going on the market today feature wood walls produced from lumber and hardwood plywoods.

Ilome owners and prospective buyers find wood-paneled walls take a home out of the "just-another-house" class. Beautifully grained boards finished to the home-owner's taste are far richer than any wallpaper that can be obtained and it eliminates the necessity for frequent repapering or painting. Properly finished, wood paneling is practically a permanent interior decoration.

Cost has always been an important factor to the home builder. While many home buyers, as well as builders, tezlize that, poundfor-pound, lumber can do as much work as any other building material, few home buyers realize that, properly engineered, lumber can also be superior on a cost-for-cost comparison.

In home building there is no substitute for space. Wood-frame construction means low initial cost and greater flexibility in space design, Trussed rafters and many plank-and-beam framing schemes provide post-free interiors.

A list of booklets and other information on the use of wood is available without charge from the Wood Information Center, National Lumber Manufacturers Association. 1319 18th Street.

Mosonite Promotion

Building products salesmen of Masonite Corporation have been given a new sales tool, a book of radio and television 6o-second commercials which can be used with a lumber dealer's name in advertising any product. in the Masonite line.

Dealers will be urged to schedule regular broadcast advertising, using these scripts which tie in with the company's national advertising and which can be used effectively with the ad mat service to build an efiective, integrated program.

Television scripts are written so that simple props can be used to demonstrate the qualities of Masonite paneling.

Salesmen are urging dealers to realize that "modern merchandising means modern , communication," according to James H. Hurley, manag'er of advertising and sales promotion.

1960 q Good Yeor

The gross national product reached a record total of $502 billion last year, an increase of $21 billion over 1959, the Of;fice of Business Economics, IJ.S. Department of Commerce announced last month. Output surpassed the 1959 high by 4f percent in value and nearly 3 percent in physical volume. The flow of income and purchasing power rose correspondingly.

Personal income for the year exceeded E466 billion for the first time. It increased throughout most of 1960, and in spite of the year-end decline, the January 1961 rate of $n6-l/3 billion exceed that of the year earlier by $l0l billion, or 2l percent as announced by the Department last month. The national income also reached a new high for the year, most of the increase in each instance representing a gain in real purchasing power.

News from Weyerhqeuser

Tacoma, Wash.-The name of Weyerhaeuser Company's Rilco division will be changed to "Rilco engineered wood products division," it was announced today by Dale L. Gaeth, division vice president-manager.

The change is effective immediately.

Rilco specializes in the manufacture of a wide line of laminateil wood arches, beams and trusses for church, school, farm, commercial, industrial and residential building. Plants are located at Albert Lea, Minnesota, and Cottage Grove, Oregon.

"Rilco has rapidly expanded its markets in the engineered wood products field," said Gaeth. "This has made our present divisional identity too restrictive in meaning as it does not adequately cover the diversity of products and services offered bv us."

The Rilco nam6 ir derived from the initials of Rock Island Lumber Company, Rilco's original parent organization.

Georgio-Pqcific Reporls | 960Soles, Eornings, Gosh Flow Highest in Hisrory

New York-The highest sales, earnings, and cash flow in the history of Georgia-Pacific Corporation are reported in the Company's 1960 Annual Report. This record was established despite what Chairman Owen R. Cheatham and President Robert B. Pamplin call a "difficult year."

Net sales of Georgia-Pacific for the year are reported at $221,997,000 compared with $210,555,000 in 1959. Net income is shown at $15,210,00O compared with $15,070,000 for the previous year. Net cash generated from operations was $40,030,000 compared with the '59 figure of $40,003,000. Based on the average number of shares outstanding, net profit was $2.45 a share for 1960 compared with $2.51 in

1959. Cash flow was $6.66 compared with 96.71 for the previous year. Comparisons reflect inclusion of the operations of W. M. Ritter Lumber Company and Plywood Products Corp. in both years.

The record totals are attributed by the Georgia-Pacific officers to the Company's building and modernization program plus the integration of Georgia-Pacific's plants and distribution facilities with its timber resources. "This program, started about five years ago, is nearly completed except as to the properties acquired in 1960," the letter to stockholders states.

Three major properties were acquired in 1960, according to the Report; first, the Pilot Rock Lumber Co., located in eastern Oregon and including approximately 100,000 acres of timberlands (principally Ponderosa Pine)" and related logging and manufacturing facilities; second, pooling of the interests of Plywood Products Corp. with GeorgiaPacific which resnlted in vesting in Georgia-Pacific all aspects of a joint operation for the manufacture of sheathing plywood; third, the merger' into Georgia-Pacific of the former W. M. Ritter Lumber Company including approximately 300,000 acres of land, principally in West Virginia and Virginia, of which about 220,5W acres contain highgrade Appalachian and Southern hardwoods plus valuable reserves of metallurgical coal and natural gas.

During 1960 the capacity of the Corporation's pulp and containerboard plant at Toledo, Oregon, was doubled. A new plywood plant was constructed at Springfield, Oregon; five new sales branches were added to the nation wide distribution system; and construction was started on a Fiber-Ply plant at Springfield, Oregon and a kraft containerboard converting plant at Olympia, Washington, both to be completed in early I96L

The growth of demand for Georgia-Pacific's principal products has been outstanding, NIr. Cheatham and Mr. Pamplin state, and the prospects are excellent for a continuation of this trend. The Georgia-Pacific Annual Report contains a chart showing demand for fir plywood over the past ten years has almost tripled, and demand for kraft p"pet, boird, and pulp has been growing at a rapid rate.

"We will continue to emphasize our research program which, in 1960, developed a number of"new products expected to increase both sales and profits. We are coniinuing studies for a large pulp and paper plalt at Samoa, California, for which plant site and water resources have already been provided. Our present plans look to the commencement of construction in 1962 or soon thereafter."

Georgia-Pacific is one of the largest integrated forest products companies and produces a wide range of products including plyivood, papei, containerboard, redwood lumber and spe-ialties, hardboard, lumber, chemicals, and a wide range of specialty products.

Pulting rhe R.oof on Losses

Sawmill and yard operators who air-dry lumber can literally put the roof on losses caused by rvarpage, staining, and uneven drying, changing losses to profits, according to recent tests conducted by the Central States Forest Experimental Station in southern Illinois. Tests employed flat roofs of galvanized steel sheets which offered strength, economy, and long life. The results show that:

Warpage caused serious losses in the upper tiers of non-roofed piles (the top tier of 72 board feet of No. 1 Common yellow-poplar lost $5.18 in value due to warp alone). Such losses were practically non-existent in roofed piles.

Staining (bluestain), the major cause of summer degrade, was heavier in non-roofed lumber. The most severe degrade occurred in non-roofed piles of Selects and Better. Drying proceeded at a more uniform rate with the roofed lumber, which reached the fiber saturation point (approximately 27 percent moisture content) 12 days sooner than the non-roofed lumber.

A sturdy, flat, rain-tight roof of corrosion-resistant galvanized steel sheets, which can be built for about $25 and placed on piles by one forklift operator, will pay for itself in three uses on Select and Better lumber. and in seven uses on No. 1 Common lumber. If the same roof is used for 20 air-dryine periods of 45 days each, it may be expected to earn a net profit of about $10 per use on piles of Select and Better, and $2.64 per use on piles of No. 1 Common.

(Figures for yellow-poplar.)

Construction of this portable roof is extremely easy. It consists simply of corrugated sheets of galvanized steel sheets, nailed to a rectangular frame of 2 by 6's, which will rest on the top tier of lumber in the pile. The galvanized steel should extend beyond the pile by at least a foot, with more overhang for higher piles.

lncrecrse Profirqble Remodeling Soles Wirh New Insulite Merchcrndising Center

To help building material dealers increase profitable home remodeling and repair sales, Insulite has designed a handsome merchandising center featuring Insulite Ceiling Tileboard.

The main component of the merchandising center is a 4'x8' metal-framed display containing 2'x2' panels of different Insulite tileboards. Each uanel has four l2"x12n samples of one Insulite tile. Individual price signs, naming tl-re various Insulite tiles, are easily attached to the display f rame.

An attractive, three-color "Remo<leling Ileadquarters" sign frts at the bottom of the display, covering the entire eight-foot length. A 4O"-long top sign, in the same three

attractive colors, identifies the "Insulite Ceilings" display.

The wall paneling samples which form part of the merchandising center may be Insulite Walnut and Cherry Grained HardBoard, for which identifying signs are available, or any other wall paneling from the dealer's stock.

Then, to make the merchandising center complete, it is suggested that the dealer set up tables to display related items such as furring strips, moulding, tools, paint and floor tiles, as rvell as home remodeling plans and ideas, easyto-understand price information and full details on howto-do-it.

A merchandising center such as this is specifically designed for the do-it-yourself customer-the week-end remodeler who is not a professional buyer but rather a buyer who needs to be shown the product and how easy it is to apply.

With the remarkable growth of the home repair and remodeling market in recent years, and the forecast of an increase in this market for 1961, the new Insulite Merchandising Center can be an ideal selling aid to reach these custorners.

Along with the merchandising center, dealers might ha-ve a home remodeling service for those customers who prefer to have the work done for them. Whether the dealer supplies the labor himself or whether he has remodeling contractors who do the job, the net result is the same-a profitable "one-stop" sale.

The new Insulite Merchandising Center, coupled with the dealer's home remodeling service, can be a great convenience and time-saver for both the dealer and his customers-and, if properly used, can be a great money-maker for the dealer.

For further information contact your Institute Representative or INSULITE, 500 Investors Building, Minneapolis 2. Minnesota.

GP Announces Woodleof Timber Purchqse And Negotiqtions for R.oyol Confsiner

Two large California concerns, one of the Woodleaf Timber Corporation, with mills at Woodleaf and Marysville and headquarters at Sacramento, were purchased by Georgia-Pacific last month.

Woodleaf Timber Corp. sold its sawmill at \A'oodleaf, California, its remanufacturing plant at Marysville, and timber-cutting rights to 14,000 acres of timber land to Feather River Pine Mills Co., a wholly orvned subsidiary of Georgia-Pacific Corp. Total sale price, including property in the town of \Aloodleaf, was indicated to be more thatt $5 million.

T. D. Bennett, vice-president of Woodleaf, a privately held concern, declined to give the sale price. However, he noted that the northern California timber marrufacturing facilities at Mroodleaf and Pearsor.r Station "alone are valued at more than $2 million."

Bennett also said the sale could lead to otl-rer timber lancl purchases in the area and a total investment by GeorgiaPacific in the neighborhood of $15 million.

At the same time, Harold R. Freeman, president of the Royal Container Company, San Francisco, saicl an exchange of stock agreement with Georgia-Pacific is "imminent." IIe said negotiations have been "going on for several months," but that "nothing has yet been concluded."

Royal Cortainer is a privately owned company, Freemarr said, with "total annual sales of $12 million." The company makes corrugated shipping cases in San Francisco and at a recently opened Los Angeles plant, and has a paper manufacturing operation in Santa Clara, California. Freeman declined to give details of the stock transaction, but said, if it is approved, Royal Container will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgia-Pacific Corporation.

Bob Pierce shot the second best golf score he ever made, 76-ll-65, (he once shot a 74) to win the lower bracket hands down. Bauer, as customary, stole the horse race profits, betting on Pierce. Syd Alling won the higher bracket 90-14-76, due to penalty strokes suffered by Bauer, Huck, and Pruessing. The prizes this morrth were Janzen sweaters. and thev are beautiful !
