San Francisco Hardwood md Plywood Firm Hag Modern Equipment and Facilitieg

'l'he first indication of industry observed lly Southerrr Pacific rail passengers approaching San Francisco frorn thc South is the new plant of the Jones Hardwood and Plywood Company. Located on their 3f acre tract, with spur track, they have been serving Northern California manufacturers and consumers of lrardu'o<tcls for almost thirty years.

The company is owned and operated by Nels<-rn li. Jones who started in the hardwood lumber business in San Francisco in l9l2 and organized the present company in 1922. He is rvell known to most manufactttrers of hardwood lumber and plywood in the United States as well as in many foreign manufacturing centers. He is an ardent yachtsman and is prominent in coastwise yachting circles where his various yachts have rvon many trophies.

On April l, 1951, Ed T. Cryer joined the Jones llardHecting Engine contcining Eight Gas burners with 1,000,000 b,t.u. ccpccity. Insulqted cnd qir riqht building affords maximum tempercttures with minimum loss oI hedt through rcdiction, etc.

woorl and l'lywood Company in thc capacity <tf general manafJer. Iid Cryer has served the hartlrvood consurning trade in the West for the past thirty years and has a rvide circle of friends in the industry. The addition of Mr. Cryer to thc force of the company rounds out an efficient harcl hitting organization.

Iiarly in 1950, Fred Seike becante associated rvith this company and is now acting in the capacity of general superintendent and kiln operator. Mr. Seike has been active in the hardwood and softwood lumber business for morc than twenty years.

After serving the Armed Forces and Maritirr,e Service during World War II, F. W. Evans returned to the Jones Hardwood and Plywood Company as office manager ancl controller. Mr. Evans became a member of the staff in 1937.

"The mechanical handling facilities, dry kiln and mod- ern equipment afford a high percentage of efficiency of operation of this plant. Designed to serve industrial buyers, boat builders and shipyards, the elimination of retail trade places us in a position to offer economical distribution of imported hardwoods and plywoods. Our cable address "Hardwood" is known in all foreign lands where hardrvoods are produced," Mr. Jones states.

"In addition to carrying stocks of practically all varieties of commercially used hardwoods, we have cars continuously being loaded with hardwoods and plywoods at the principal producing centers in the United States. Rarely does a day pass when mahogany and other varieties of products from the Philippines, Africa, and Central America, or ash, oak and birch from Japan, are not afloat or in rail transit to us. These imports and domestic shipments are sorted, dried, and delivered to the consuming trade.

"By carrying ample stocks for immediate demand and having quantities of hardwoods and plywoods in transit continuously, we are able to offer quick deliveries to industrial plants, shipyards and factories."

Cu$r Put on Luxury Homa

Washington, May 4-The government today placed building controls on "luxury" homes-dwellings costing over $35,00G-and on big apartment houses, major factories and public buildings.

The National Production Authority decreed that thcse structures may not be started without its specific approval.

Industrial structrrres and public projects fall urrder NI'A's contrul when morc than 25 tons of steel are usctt, extettding goverrtrnent construction regulations over such projegts as schools, clrurches, hospitals, highways, bridges, rvater an<l sewer systems, pipelines, public utility and railroad construction.

Thc order was NPA's first direct colttrol applied to residenti:rl construction. Previous restraints have becu indirect -such as the credit controls governing dorvrr payments and rnortgage tcrms.

As of today, however, NPA permissiotr mttst bc obtained to start any single-family residence rvhose estimated cost exceeds $35,000. The same is true for any apartment structure in excess of three stories and basement.

The requirement for Federal approval on projects using 25 tons of steel applies to all construction jobs except those covered by other NPA controls.

Construction of advertising signs is prohibited, but this lran does not apply to signs costing less than $.5000.
