whole distribution system that has been developed over a good many long, hard years.

We must realize thac the proper packaging of materials, putting them on the job when they are needed, carrying accounts and backing up the cluality of the material is a function of the retailer, one that cannot economically be shortcircuited, and one that must be paid for. There is a natural tendency for the buyer to want to save money. We must tell the purchaser the truth about prices and service ir-r this business, we can't expect him to make the right decisions if we don't.

Some of our dealers have cut the quality of their material and their services in orrler to meet this competitive situation. When they do this they are not any better than tl'rc sales- man who tried to short-circuit the whole procedure. Tl-re answer to our problem on competitive prices is to sell our services and the quality of our material.

Washington, one of the largest producers of precision-made doors in the Pacific Northwest.

The E. A. Nord Company has been producing architectural millwork and doors for public buitdings and schools for many year-s, and in 1948 established its present plant on the ZS-acre site at L,verett, for the purpose bf producing all types of fir doors, including panel interior doors, front doors, sash doors, screen and louver doors, and sectional overhead garage doors. A11 of these items will be distributed exclusively in the Southern California area by Carlow Company, Jack Carlow deciared.

While many door manufacturing concerns have been curtailing production during the past several months, E. A. Nord, president and general manager of the E. A. Nord Co., believes the fir panel door is rvell on its way back as a market contender. He is qualified to speak with authority and back up his convictions with action.

His firm is staffed with capable personnel and operates on a two-shift basis, employing over 200 people in a modern, up-to-date plant. The Nord plant in Everett is located on the shores of Puget Sound and most of the lumber reaches the plant via barge, where it is remanufactured into doors designed to meet present-day competition. The Nord concern purchases its raw material on the open market and uses between 15 to 20 million board feet of shop and clear lumber each year.

Key personnel at the E. A. Nord Company plant, besides President Nord, includes his son, Robert Nord, Harry DeGroot, Gilbert Ntellis and Ed Glascow. The sales department is headed by Paul G. Eklund, veteran sales manager of the firm.

"fn vierv of the fact M&M discontinued manufacture of fir doors, and E. A. Nord Company is expanding its operation to take care of markets throughout the United States, we are pleased to announce our association with the pioneer manufacturing concern," said Jack Carlow.
