John Castleman Purchases Baily Lumber in Novato

The purchase of Bailey Lumber Company, Novato, on April 1, brings into focus a relative newcomer in Marin County retail lumber circles-John Castleman. Originally from the Pacific Northlvest, Castleman purchased his first yard, Mill Valley Lumber Co., some six years ago. A few years later, Castleman expanded his operation by adding Tiburon Lumber Co., located on picturesque Tiburon Peninsula. Although more limited in scope than is bustling Mill Valley operation, Castleman has gradually built Tiburon Lumber into a profitable shoulder trade and small builder operation, the bigger jobs and milling being handled at Mill Valley.

With the acquisition of Bailey Lumber Co., dealer Castleman has added a second large yard to his chain. Located on a spur, the Bailey yard occupies several acres of choice industrial pro'perty in the fast growing North Marin suburb of Novato. An all 'round operation, the Bailey yard has a large combination showroom warehouse for the convenience of the do-it-yourself trade, as well as milling faccilities and vard lavout for volume lumber distributicn.

Chorm of Wood In Kitchen ls Dromotized ln NWPP's June I Life Ad

"Only wood can turn a kitchen into such a charming room" -is the theme of the fifth advertisement in the National Wood Promotion Program's 1962 consumer promotion campaign in Life magazine. Like all other advertisements in the three-year-old program, the full-page ad-in the June I issue of -Life-utilizei the power and drama of full iolor to illustrate the beauty and structural integrity of wood. Copy in the ad is as follows:

"Practical as a cutting board, pretty as a picture, wo-od makes you want to spend more hours in the kitchen. On your walls, lively paneling of wood hushes unwanted tlutt... In your floot, *ood's comfort is almost carefree. And nothing compares with cabinets of rvood, pre-built or custom-m1de. Wood never conflicts with metal, enamel, or glass, but softens their glare and enhances their hues. So easy to remodel, as family growth or new appliances require, 'ivood gives your kitchen and its adjoining family room variety that u'ill spice your life. Good cooks agree: there's nothing in the u'orld like wood."

The 1962 NWPP campaign, sponsored by members of the 16 federated regional associations of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, began with a two-page spread in the February 9 issue of Life and rvill continue throughout the year with advertisements demonstrating the advantages of lvood in various areas of the house. Current circulation of Life is 7,000,000 and accumulative readership is estimated to be 32,000,000 per issue.

NWPP's consumer advertising campaign is designed to pre-sell prospective home owners on a preference for wood productJ fof home brrilding. Builders and lumber dealers will benefit when consumers express a strong interest in lumber and wood oroducts for their individual homes'
