\(/alte, Decker - Plant Manager

It is ah'vays interesting to meet the men rvho rttn the various types and kinds of plants connected u'ith the great lumber industry. A representative of this paper talked recently to Walter Decker, plant manager for Associated Molcling Co., 7125 Anaheim-Telegraph Roacl, Los Angeles 22, and found that he has a fine backgrouncl of experience that equips him rn'ith the know-how needecl to run such a plant.

Added to his early lumber experience lvas his 12 years with Hayward Lr.rmber & Investment Co., for r,vhich firm he was superintendent of yards. He later owned the Colton Lumber Company, which he sold out before the rn'ar. A veteran of World War I, he considered it his duty to volunteer for service in World War II. He seived three years in the Navy in the Aleutians area. After the rvar he went into the rvholesale lumber business with Ross Lash1"y. They had two concerns, Lashley Lumber Sales Co. and Walter Decker Lumber Co. These businesses rvere dissolved after tlvo years' operation, and Mr. Decker joined Associated Molding Co. just a year ago. He thinks the plant is one of the finest of its kind on the Pacilic Coast, and O. V. Pratt, head of this concern agrees with him. He invites retail and wholesale lumber dealers to drop around and see the first-class equipment and facilities they have for the manufacture of moldings, and for custom milling and milling in transit.
