"SERVICE is our poromount stock-in-trode"

Weyerhaeuser Company, which two years ago introduced edgemarking as proof-positive brand identification of framing lumber and wood siding, has extended the marking to common boards as well.

The new marking on the l-inch-thick, many-use material car. ries the same "Weyerhaeuser 4-square Kiln-Dried" wording along the full length of the stock. The marking is on one edge only; on common boards only (not on finish lumber), and on both fir and hemlock stock.

The purpose: permanent brand identification for assured value that can be seen in the yard and on the job. On bevel wood siding, both natural and primed, the marking along the thin edge serves as a guide to speed installation that conforms to FHA l-inch lap requirements.

Dealers, builders and architects have enthusiastically accepted edge-marking as contributing to better brand-name merchandising, the company reports. Former end-marking has been replaced by a golden seal on ends of dimension and common boards to supplement the edge-branding.

British Columbia Forest Products, Ltd., will undertake this year a $6.4 million expansion of its pulp mill at Crofton on Vancouver Island, T. N. Beaupre, president, said in the pamphlet annual report,

The new pulp capacity will be used to feed B. C. Forest Products' $25 million 350-ton-a-day newsprint plant under construction and due to be completed in 1964.

As reported earlier, B. C. Forest Products in 1962 earned $4,812,800, or $1.40 a share, up from $3,533,800, or $1.03 a share in 1961. Sales rose to $52,411,200 from $48,583,400.

Mr. Beaupre said the devaluation of the Canadian dollar was the biggest single factor in the earning increase. Lumber prices were l0/o higher than in 196I but shipments were down 6/o.
