Long-Bell Division to Move Mqin Operotions From Longvieq Wqsh.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the Long-Bell Lumber division of International Paoer Co. will move its main West Coast lumber and plywood operations from the sawmill and lumber torvn of Longview, Wash., closer to its Douglas fir timberlands in southwest Washington. LongBell rvill close its sawmill and adjacent plywood plant in mid-1960, the newspaper said, rvhen it opens a modern lumber and plyrvood facility at Chelatchie Prairie, 42 miles away. The closings would not affect the company's other opeiations in Longview, said J. D. Leland, vice-president in charge of the Long-Bell division. International Paper will maintain a woodworking factory, wood-treating plant, research and development laboratory and West Coast operations office at Longview.

Longview, Wash., a city now of more than 20,000 people, was started by the old Long-Bell Lumber Co. in 1923. For many years the community depended on the sawmill as its livelil-rood. "Obsolete equipment and inflexible production methods at Longview, plus increasing costs of moving logs to the mill, are main reasons for the switch from Longview," said a company spokesman. I-ong-Bell is now hauling logs as many as 50 miles by rail to the Longview plant. The Chelatchie Prairie sawmill and olywood olant are close to a 27,}Cf.-acre tract of Douglas fir'timber'recently purchased by Long-I3ell from Harbor Plywood Corp.

They all declared "a most profitable day-well. spe-nt" and suggested another session be scheduled-promising-further inielligent approach to their merchandising problems from what they learned at the clinic.

The first step in planning the meeting was tl-re following form letter *hich was senl out early in March by ProfitPlanning Research, Inc., the subsidiary of Lumber Service Co., to -sound out the lumber-dealer interest in such a gathering:

- Paul Hollenbeck has conducted two Profit-Planning Clinics in the Southern California area for dealers in the metropolitan Los Angeles area. Out of those clinics, an interest has been expressed for the same type of clinic to be held in the San Bernardino-Riverside area.

There are many topics discussed and analyzed by Mr. Hollenbeck in his clinics. which are not of the "Ivory-Tower" approach, but rather brought to the dealer in a realistic manner.

Some of the problems confronting dealers today are: How Can Our Firm-Increase Profits in 1959? Improve Capital Investment Ratios? Increase Sales? . . . Know Where We Stand Each Month? Increase Inventory Turn? Meet Competition at a Profit?

Major Subjects to Be Covered During the Clinic l. How to Create a Profit Plan

2. Pricing Merchandise to Fit the Plan

3. Specific Sales Catcgories

4. Gross Profit Requirements for Classification of Sales

5. Specific Overhead by Classification of Sales

6. Profit Analysis

7. Inventory Analysis

8. Accounts Receivable Analysis

9. Sales Forecasting

10. Expense Budgeting

11. Profit and Loss and Financial Statement Explanations.

This one day with Paul Hollenbeck can substantially help you and your 6rm realize a better return on your investment in the months and years ahead. You will get an easy-to-understand-easyto-,put-into-operation-and thoroughly practical pricing concept, which is today helping hundreds of dealers throughout the country gain the reward of greater profits to which they are entitled.

Those who have attended the clinics all testify to the fact that they were beneficial to them in making an intelligent approach to better profit in relation to the invested capital. The answers to these problems an<l to your specific ones are answered by concrete examples and formulae, so that you have a very clear picture of the problem and how to correct it.

If there is enough interest expressed by the dealers in your area,

Hollanbeck's closs of Kite-oreo dmlers tokes luncheon breok ol lvtrsslon Inn the clinic will be held. It will be for one day, starting at 9:00 a.m. and finishing at 4:30 p.m. The cost, which includes a Hollenbeck Profit-Planning Manual, lunch and two cofiee breaks, is only $39.00 per person.

Because of other clinics planned, the date that is available for this clinic is March 24th. To help us make a decision, will you please indicate your interest on the enclosed postal card.

Yours very truly, Profit Planning Research, IncLynn Dawson.

The green fir market remained strong and steady at peak-price leve1s in the period ending May 22, reports Crow's Lumber Market News Service, Portland, Ore. Utility and Better grade studs pushed up; in Dimension, 2xl0 was hottest, with 2x72 almost as strong. There was more price strength in Standard & Btr grade plank and small squares, while tim'bers showed more life. Utility dimension was easier to buy at unchanged prices. Fir dimension for water shipment was steady; prices strong. Because o{ strong prices and demand on fir, buyers oftln turned to other species where possible; Hemlock, both green and dry, enjoyed rising dernand and prices. Key widths of No. 4 common ponderosa pine boards advanced a little; resawn pine boards were strong, No. 2 common boards slow but No. 3 common boards were more activi after a slight price recession. Dry white fir and green fir and larch dimension made some advances, Shipments of 478 mills reporting to the National Lurnber Manufacturers Assn. in the week ending May 16 were 0.5/o below production but orders were 8.2/o above. Orders of 123,468,835 feetwere 9.2/o above production at 146 mills reporting (140 operating) to the West Coast Lumbermen's Assn. in the week ending May 16; ihipments were 1.3/o below.
