FLAT RO('FING AND FLASHING

Ett F0UI{IA|1{, SR., newly elected vice president ot The American Institute of Timber Construction' was oroeram chairman for the first day's session which heaTt with the laminated timber market.

He said, 'oOur program teaches salesmen the laminating vocabulary such as ap' pearance, grade, combination numbers, glue types, camber and overcomes the fear ihat something glued might come unglued. It then motivates them to the advantages of selling laminated timbers. The counterman has to be convinced that he will have fewer problems with availability, aPpear' ance, twisting and checking so common with sawn timbers. The volume commis' sion salesman is shown how laminated timbers can be used as a selling tool to help him sell a lumber list without always being low bidder."

There was also a discussion of how to convert from steel to laminated timbers. It pointed out the advantages of wood over steil and an actual chart is given to dealer salesmen for use in figuring substitutes. Lloyd cited many examples where lami' nated timbers have been substituted for steel "I" beams resulting in a considerable savings for the contractor and an extra profit for the dealer.

All plywood that is treated will be stamped on the back side by use of a rubber roll stamp except the grades in which markings would be objectionable. This trademark will appear at least every two feet lengthwise of the plywood sheet. Where markings are objectionable on the back side, the sheets will be edge and end- stamped. The stamp will contain the numerals of the year in which the material is treated.

The pressure-treated stamp will be houseshaped the same as their trademark.

Upon presentation at Honolulu Wood Treating Company's plant of termite or rot damage plywood which has been pressure treated by them, and with verification by their Technical Department, they will give the customer a purchase order for new plywood of the same pressure treatment to be picked up from a dealer of his choice and at no cost to the customer.

This heads-up use of a guarantee is a good example of how the lumber industry can overcome consumer resistance.
