Big plus features in the system from the point of view of the buyer is the saving in costs, from freight and from waste, according to General Manager Van S. Camp, an lS-year veteran in the field of lumber manufacturing. Camp reports buyer savings ranging from a minimum of 50c per truss for the large volume user who has his own fast cutting setup available to $2.00 each truss for the single carload buyer who previously had to cut his own parts on manual or semimanual equipment.

"We feel this offers such a big advantage in time and cost to even the smallest user that it will not be long before this will be the common method of buying lumber," Camo concludes.
