Cost savings possible by shipping and storing KD dimension lumber wrapped in the new reinforced paper/plastic wrap called "Lumber-Jacketo' are presented in a bulletin from American Sisalkraft of Attle' boro, Mass.

Lumber-Jacket wrap is described as a combination of reinforced Sisalkraft and polyethylene plastic film with extra pad' rlirg at the point where the eilges of the lumber stack cause wear of the wrap.

Chief advantages of shipping lumber on open flatcars are reported to be time and labor savings of up to 9O/o in lumber dealers' handling costs, made possible by the use of mechanical lift equipment, and the use of low-cost outdoor yard space where lumber can now be completely protected at less than half the cost per square foot compared to indoor storage.

Copies of the Lumber-Jacket Bulletin B-10 are available from Dept. 81-LJ, American Sisalkraft, Attleboro, Massachusetts.
