Hexberg Brothers LUMBER COMPANY

Based on scientific, precision-engineering principles developed through Timm's many years of aircraft building experience, Timm-made .windon s incorporate new and advantageous advances to the architect, builder and owner alike, it is stated. One is the use of a nel' aluminum alloy especially developed for the construction industry, which gives greater imperviousness to rveather, including being non-warping, s'ivelling or shrinking. A nerr- type of invisible mortised joint has also been cleveloped by Timm which provides a neater appearance, along u-ith extra strength. Also an unusually strong type of extruded shape for upright members is being employed.

Ready for immediate delivery in a large varietv of stock sizes, through building supply houses, the nerv Timm rvindou' is hailed as an important Southern California contribution to relieving the building bottleneck. Timm rvindorvs are clesigned for use in hornes and housing projects, as r'vell as apartntents, hotels, and numerous types of commercial buildings, coming ready to install, equipped u'ith hardr,vare including worm-g'ear operated ltronze openers, in the case of the ventilated t-vpe lvindot'.

The use of aluminum 'ivindov,'s had gained high preference rvith architects and builders before the rvar suspended production, says Mr. Buckley, due to their many advantages such as lightness, long life, ease of operation, lorv upkeep costs, and attractive appearance, Wartin-re adr-ances are said to have made them even more desirable.

New Lumber Association Formed

The Western Forest Industries Association, has been formed at Portland, built around the nucleus of the Pacific Lnmber Remahufactrlrers Association and the Western ;\ssociation of L.r.rmbermen and l-oggers. It 'ivill serve independent timllerland owners, loggers; lumber manufacturers and remauuf acturers and distributors in all rvestern states. Ileadcluarters rvill be in lrortlar-rd.

Ii. T. Titus, norv serving as secretary of the Pacific Lumber Remanufacturers Association, will mapage the consolidated organizatio". J. H. Jones, Golden Gate Lumber Co., Eugene, Ore., r,r'as elected president; George E. Orven, Eugene; D. W. Gill, Canyonville, Ore., and Raymond Lervis, ltaymond, Wash., vice presidents; R. J. Ultican, Jr., Aberdeen, Wash., secretarv, and Fred Harris, Cottage Grove. Ore., treasurer.

In announcing creation of the new organization, N[r. Titus said "It has long been evident that operators of rough green mills and remanufacturers have many mutual problems u'hicl.r are shared also by independent loggers and lumber distributors. Under the circuqrstances it seemed better to combine into one large rt'ell-staffed group serving all rvestern states than to have several smaller organiza' tions striving for the same goal independently. Every activity rvhich has been carried on by the separate organizations u'ill be continued by W.-F.I.A. in divisions dealing 'ivith problems of variotts groups such as loggers, sarvmills, remannfacturers, <listributors and the like."
