Tree Fqrm Growth Tied to L<rndowner Recognition of Monoged Foresl Volues

Landowner interest in tree farming, reflected fry a 2,6l8,909-acre gain in the industry-sponsored American Tree Farm System in 1962, stems from a growing recognition oI the raany benefits of the managed forestwood products, recreation, wildlife, soil and water conservation. savs American Forest Products Industries.

The voluntary Tree Farm program of growing trees as a crop on private lands now 2l years old, closed out 1962 with slightly more than 60 million acres of timberlands on its rolls.

ooThe growth of the Tree Farm program," said Charles A. Gillett, managing

director of AFPI, o'reflects the growing interest of landowners in putting their timberlands to work for income and the other values of the forest. Tree farming is the key that unlocks the full bounty of the woods. Under this principle, we can grow the wood we need for useful products and still provide the other benefits needed by a booming population."

The nation's 535 million acres of commercial forests are the raw material base for an industrial complex that employs nearly a million and a half persons and produces products valued at nearly $24 billion a year. Payrolls total about $5,652,-

Lumber production in the U.S. in 1962 will total 31.5 billion board feet, or virtually the same as the 1961 figure of 31.8 billion board feet, Lumber consumption for 1962 is presently estimated at 37.4 billion board feet, or 1.6 percent above the figure for 1961.

Wood pulp consumption in paper and paperboard mills was 28.2 million tons as compared with 26.7 million tons in 1961. Wood pulp exports this year are estimated at 1.2 million tons, about the same as 196l but three times the figure o{ three years aso.

Weyerhauser's Scienfific Advances Draw National Attenfion

Our thnnks to TIME, The Week'ly News Magazinc, lor their kind permission tn reprint this article which appeared' in their IVIay 10, 1963 issue.-Editor.

No businessmen wait longer for their product to develop than the timber owners of the Pacific Northwest. It takes Douglas firs 80 years to mature, and some still waiting to be cut were young when Paul Revere made his midnight ride. Timber's unique o'lead time" is a constant concern of the 63-year-old Weyerhaeuser Co., which turns out more lumber and rvood products than any other company in the $6 billion indus' try that provides raw material {or U'S. homes, newsprint, boats, containers and furniture.

W'eyerhaeuser's 3.6 billion velvety green acres of timber, most of them in Washing' ton and Oregon, make up the largest pri' vate preserve in the U.S., but company for-

esters estimate that the last virgin tree will fall in the year 2020. As far off as that may seem, it is too close for the "Big W." Weyerhaeuser is now developing a revolutionary supertree that will be impervious to disease, per{ectly shaped and full-grown in only 40 years. "We control the size of peas and the tenderness o{ corn," says a Weyerhaeuser scientist. "Why not a testtube forest?"

Weyerhaeuser's evergreen empire began in 1900 when Immigrant Lumberman Frederick Weyerhaeuser bought 900,000 acres of {orest from his St. Paul neighbor, Northern Pacific Railroad Builder James J. Hill; he paid $5,400,000 for property today valued at $I,750,000,000. In the early days, lumber mills customarily burned ofi waste or dumped it in nearby rivers, polluting them. Weyerhaeuser, spurred by the New Deal's emphasis on conservation, looked for ways to use waste' Over the vears, it found a process to bleach fir pulp

white to make it suitable for better-grade paper-making, developed paperboard that jwill take color printing and a polyethylene coating to replace wax on milk cartons.

Aside from its supertrees, Weyerhaeuser's most intensive research is aimed at finding more uses for bark, which repre' sents ISVo o{ each tree. It has developed a hydraulic debarker that bombards mill logs with water and leaves them peeled like bananas. Recovered bark chips, once burned for fuel, are now processed as medicine, vanillin. insulation. soil conditioners, reinforcement for polyester plastics, and mud thinner for oil-well drilling. Says Vice President for Wood Products George H. Weverhaeuser. "You'd almost think that lumber is the byproduct now."

Lumber is almost that. Ten years ago lumber and pulp represented 80/o oIWey' erhaeuser's output. Today they represent

AtS Committee Recommendqtion On Grqde Stqndordiz<rtion

The highly controversial issue of grade standardization rolled on last month when the American Lumber Standards Committee met in San Francisco May 2nd and 3rd to adopt an eight point package which varied only slightly from the original "p.oposul put before ALS late last year.

Dry dimension manu{actured to lt/r,, thickness and dry boards surfaced to Vg" thickness passed another hurdle, but moisture content specifications contained in the original proposal were re_ laxed slightly to I9/o maximum moisturJ contenr.

Following is an outline of the ALS proposal which is now in the hands of th_e Department of Commerce-pending further study and recommendations by producer., "or.,r*"r, aid specifiers oi lumber:

I. American Lumber Standards sizes for dimension will be 11/rt' in thickness by present widths at a maximum l9o/a moisture content.

2. American .Lumber Standard sizes for boards will be B/+,, by present widths at a maximum l9/o moisture content except that a s7"" dry board will be considered standard if it ls identified as to thickness.

3. Provisions in regional grading rules for lumber surfaced at other moisture content levels will show size differentials in thickness and in width.

4. The differential between the American Lumber Standards dry sizes and lumber surfaced at a hieher moisture content must be technically equivalent and have the approval of the Forest Products Laboratory.

5. Unseasoned lumber need not be identified as to its moisture condition but lumber surfaced at I5/o or l9o/o moisture content must be marked in a manner that will be understandable to the layman.

6. An optional tolerance may be specified in grading rules pro- viding fior a 5/o variation above the maximum moisiure content in reinspections.

7. An editorial cornmittee will prepare a revised SPR-16-53 encompassing the foregoing and this document will be presented to the Justice Department and the American Lumber Standards Committee for comment.

B. The next meeting of the American Lumber Standards Committee will be held in sufficient time to permit the Department of Commerce to circulate the revised standard to its acceptor list for possible promulgation by January l, 1964.

Plywood Quality Controls To

Boost Japanese Exports

A l0 to 15 percent increase in shipments of top quality Japanese hardwood plywood to the U. S. during 1963, has been predicted, Prices, moreover, will be compar' able to those of last vear.

That report has been received here from the Japan Plywood Exporters' Association. The increase is expected to come primarily from demands from lumber dealers, builders, mobile home constructors, and boat and furniture makers. It will also result from an intensified merchandising campaign, in' cluding special promotional activities and Irom usage of better product grades and continued research in development of new types of plywood.

Japan, the world's largest exporter of qualiiy plywood and third largest plywood producer, last year held some 51.4/o oI the U. S. hardwood plywood import market, the report disclosed. Total 1962 hardwood plywood exports from Japan were valued at $66,490,000-F'O.B' This was some L\/o higher than average figures over the past five years. Of the total, some 80/o, or $53,731,000, was imported by the U. S. Price at delivery points was roughly 45/o higher-based on a 2O/o duty imposed on hardwood plywood imports, plus some2l/oshipping and other costs. Square Iootage import figures Ior 1962 were 740,' 000,000.

WEST COAST ENIRY

The report added that well over half of Japanese plywood shipments to the U. S. enter by West Coast ports, and the balance through Eastern Seaboard and Gulf Ports. 'About 6O/o oL Japanese hardwood plywood imports are used in making flush doors, interior fittings, mobile homes, yachts, and furniture. Fine textures and grains-at competitive pricesmake it popular for home, hotel, restaurant, and office interiors, the report noted.

Detailing vital new developments in the industry, Eijiro M. Hirasawa, President of r:he Japan Plywood Exporters' Association, stressed these points:

Prices: Despite constantly rising costs of both production and distribution, Japanese imported hardwood plywood prices should remain basically unchanged during 1963.

JPITIA

primarily with hard' wood plywood from the Philippines, Korea and Taiwan.

QUATITY SEAI

Qudity Seal: Efiective at once, a new quality seal will appear on all Japenese plywood exports. It will bear the initialsin English-JPMA-signifying Japan Plywood Manufacturers' Association. To use the seal, Japanese makers will have to meet highest production standards originally set in 1950 and upgraded several times over the past decade. Tests and inspections cover basic raw materials through each produc' tion step insuring uniformity of finish and constructive before the JPMA seal can be used. New steps in inspection standards include constant development of special equipment and of trained inspectors to control every square foot leaving the Country. Under government regulations, the Japan Plywood Inspection Corporation, head' quartered in Tokyo has 1I branch offices and their tests include those for efficiency cohesion, as well as intensive inspection to insure compliance with grading standards for veneers, grooved plywood, re-finished plywood, and others. including fancy and decorative plywoods.

IJ. S. Promotiorml Campaign.' An intensive international campaign has been launched to make the JPMA seal and standards known to both industry and user sources. A key element will be a new English language four color brochure "Look for this Mark of Quality Plywood" -which will be available without charge to trade sources. Write Ray Josephs Asso' ciates, 230 Park Avenue, New York; or Jack Whitehouse, Hal Stebbins Incorporcted.9229 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles; or Japan Trade Center, Plyrvood Section, World Trade Center, San Francisco I1, California.

Quotas: Voluntary Japanese quotas plus

increasins domestic demand will prevent uny por.ibl" over-supply. Some sour-ces be' lieve that U. S' quotas may even be liberalized in 1963, despite current higher import duty agitation. Trade sources stress that failure of import restriction bills intro' duced several times in the U. S. Congress is attributable to the fact that the U. S' demand for quality plywood for use in flush doors and interior panelling resulted in the creation of the market. Thus Japan in efiect created its special market rather than seeking to secure part of an existing market.

Desire lor Improrted Product: The grow' ing taste change in the U. S. toward more use of natural wood grains is regarded as a highly favorable trend for the Japanese induitry. Some 80/o of the total plywood exported from Japan uses Lauan from South Pacific countries. The remainder em' ploys Japanese sen, shina, birch, and beech-the first two are Japanese exclusives with beautiful grains, especially effec' tive after processing,

New U. S. DemaniL Trend's: Primary in' creases in U.S.-Japanese plywood use are expected to come from employment for flush doors and residential and commercial wall panelling. Japanese plywood exports to the U. S. and Canada in recent years have been primarily of 16 to 37 inches wide and 76 to 86 inches long door sizes-17/g" thick. Other popular sizes: 4 x B feet; 4 x 7 feet. Thicknesses vary between 3/16, r/4, r/2 and 3/a of an inch.

HANDWORK

Emphasis on Hand Work: Japanese pro' ducers are now concentrating on better plywood grades employing delicate and skillful handwork available there. In short, the aim is to make the product as difierent as possible from the mass-produced out' put-thus helping to create more exclusive markets. Japan's progress in developing processing machines, materials, and techniques has given her the advantage of industrial-scale and large mill capacity operations, while retaining the tradition and methods of hand craftsmanship. Efnciency of U. S. shipping connections should

The two largest buildings, the first, B0 feet by 160 feet and the other 100 by 200 feet, are devoted to the manufacturing operations.

The first houses part of the operations of the Continental Moulding Company division. The machinery was furnished by TriState Machinery, Inc., of California, located in Los Angeles at 2B2O lconis Blvd., near Soto Street. Tri-State Machinery is a major supplier of woodworking machinery to the remanufacturing trade in the Southland.

Roofs of these buildings are supported by laminated beams. Eight Iaminated beams, each 80 feet long, are used in the 80 by f60 foot building, entirely eliminating structural uprights inside. Twenty laminated beams, each 50 feet long, are used in the 100 by 200 foot building with uprights required only through the center of the structure.

Poles are notched at the top and the laminated beams set in the notches and bolted.

CAI.IFORNIA TU'IIBCR ffIETCHANT

Another unusual feature of construction on all of the buildines is the inverted rool. Roofs have been built with a one-inch fall in each 12 inches slanting from each side toward the middle. Lengthwise, each building is six inches higher at one end than at the other. This results in a o'trough" in the middle of each roof which funnels rain to one end of the building where it flows into a drainage area. Thus, no gutters are required. Laminated B0-foot beams on the open-span building are o'bowed" to provide the center-roof trough.

Other buildings erected for Sequoia include three of 50 by 124 foot size for lumber storage; a repair building which also includes locker rooms and wash facilities which is 20 by 70 feet; a bark storage building 40 by 80 feet; a finished product storage building with shipping facilities which is 50 by 120 feet, and an office building 4O by 65 feet.

All buildings have plywood roof decks and hot-mopped roofing. The two main manufacturing buildings have concrete floors with utility pipes and cables embedded. The manufacturing buildings are totally enclosed with Sequoia-produced 1" x 8" SL siding which embodies a new concept in pattern detail. The lumber storage buildings have siding on the ends only, leaving bays open for easy access of lifttrucks.

Spot testing of laminating stock by Potlatch's recently installed Electro-Mechanically Stress Rating machine confirmed superior strength of material going into laminated beams. 55% showed stronger than visually rated.

a gaaranteed beam retailers can stock . . , in AlrlY climate

Retail and distribution yards have learned they can stock PFI Electro-Lam beams where it is impractical to keep sawn timbers and solid beams in inventory. PFI's beams are kilndried (10% M.C, or less), so they can be stored any period of time in any weather, any climate, without fear of checking or warping. They are manufactured to slay straight, are individually wrapped, and each carries its own TECO-AITC certifi cate of performance.

Your builder and contractor customers depend on Potlatch Electro-Lam beams for today's modern, long-span construction.They need immediate deliveryfrom supplies close at hand.

So stock them in sizes to fit your trade, and sell them full length or cut-to-lengths as the market requires. Order them along with matching PFI Lock-Deck and other lumber products, via PFI's Mixed Car Service.

Headman Bill Giles explains that their location at 11307 Hawthorne Blvd. has little or no foot traffic so the vard is specifically set up to handle the drive-in traffic. When the home handymen converge on the yard on Saturdays, Giles Lumber has a boy on hand whose sole iob is to direct traffic.

The firm handles most everything in

Each member of the family will enjoy this home where the work, living and sleeping areas are arranged for flexible living.

The location of every room in the house has been well thought out. The formal living room is only a step away from the wide entry with its double doors. Regardless of the appearance of the remainder of the house, one need never be embarrassed by unexpected callers.

The combination family room-kitchen and patio provides an area for family meals, indoor and outdoor play plus in{ormal living. The family room has a fireplace and offers a wide view to the street plus sliding glass doors to the large rear patio. For more enjoyable open planninl5, there is only a partial wall separating the kitchen and family room.

Any housewife will appreciate the siep saving kitchen arrangement. Traffic can pass from the service area through the kitchen without interfering with activities.

From the service area there is access to the kitchen, family hath and bedroom hall. This will eliminate much of the kitchen traffic which is encountered in many floor layouts.

Another excellent fcature is that there is sufficient wall space for the use of twin beds in all three bedrooms.

The design of the master bath is exceptional. In addition to the twin pullman lavatory and roomv stall shower, there is a linen storage and the water closet is located in a private compartment. A door opens to the patio so this bath, as well as the {amily bath, could be used by bathers if a pool is ever built. This would save the cost of building a bathhouse next to the pool or prevent bathers {rom dripping water hal{way through a house due to an inconveniently located bath.

The horizontal and vertical siding ties in very well with the metal windows of this modern ranch exterior. Note how the stone planter blends u,'ith the living room fireplace.

G-P Fights Jones Act

By

Mergers, Cutbacks

This fine article on one corporatiltn's reaction to the Canadian lumber irnport situation is by Gerry Pratt, Business Editor ol the Oregonian, by whose hind permission it is reprinted, here.

Last fall when Sen. Maurine Neuberger came west to accept the applause of the Lumbermen's Economic Survival Commit. tee for her work in opening up the Jones Act, she met Robert Pamplin, the president of Georgia-Pacific Corp.

The place was one of the smaller dining rooms of the Sheraton Hotel, a dinner of lumbermen and business leaders. After dinner Mrs. Neuberger spoke briefly of her hopes for canceling out the Jones Act to allow American mills to ship on low-cost foreign vessels as the Canadians do. Then Pamplin stood up.

He told the senator that if somethine were not done to make the American milG more competitive "we might as well take our production up to Canada and ship into the states from there. Up there we can use

foreign vessels and have the same advantages our government gives the Canadian lumber industry."

It was an extemporaneous speech and because it was spoken softly in a room of louder voices, not many remembered the warning. But these past months the G-P presidentos words have come sharply home.

Georgia-Pacific Corp. announced its plans to merge with Puget Sound Pulp and Paper, a move that would acquire tor C-P not only Vancouver Island timber but two British Columbia sawmills cutting approximately 60 million feet of lumber a year.

The merger move was followed quickly with the unnorn""-"rrt that G-P '*ouli close its Springfield sawmill at a loss of 250 jobs.

Then, in sudden succession, the company announced cutbacks at the Coos Bay sawmill and the Toledo sawmill with the loss of another 135 prime Oregon pay checks.

Almost at the same moment the leadership of tle Lumbermen's Economic Survival Committee received a polite note from

CAI.IFORNIA LUIABEN

Georgia-Pacific that its representative on the committee was resigning. The committee's fight against the Canadian lumber advantages was incompatible with the new interests G-P was takine on,

No one can blame -Pamplin nor G-P, which has contributed more jobs and timber industry development in Oregon than anyone over the past decades. Pamplin has been a sharp critic of the inequities of the Jones Act and the advantages it gives the Canadians; G-P has long been the only timber industry giant to stand with the smaller mills of the survival committee in their fight for equality.

But Georgia-Pacific must compete with Crown-Zellerbach and U. S. Plywood for growth and markets, and Crown and U.S. have vast Canadian timber interests and have been shipping Canadian lumber into the Am,erican markets all along.

And G-P, Pamplin has stated frankly, owes its first obligation to its stockholders. Yet while facing the awkward situation of taking on Canadian lumber production at the same time the company was curtailing Oregon production, the G-P president refused an easy alibi out-the theory that Oregon no longer has saw timber for lumber, only timber for plywood and other high yield products.

He acknowledged that some 40 percent (Continued on Page 92)

TECO'S Dual Function

i' . Although the name TECO is widely I known in the wood products and construci tion industries, few know how and why the firm was established and what its m; obiectives are.

fl* The results and continuing benefits of ,. the 30 years of operation oi this unique firm are apparent. TECO sponsored ie-

search and engineering has been the springboard for major developments and continues to provide the firm base for improved and increased use of wood products in major fields of interest to the lumber in_dustry particlularly home building. Within this objecrive present day activitiJs of TECO are in two major areas (l) ttrc d,eoelopment g.nd marketing ol new products a.nd, systems; and (2) perlormanie ol independent quality control and, grade cirtification seruices in the manultrcture ol wood products.

PRODUCTS DIVISION

In the early 1930's lumber industry leaders recognized the need for devising more efficient methods of joining wood structural members. Earlier research had established that specialized mechanical fasteners called oosplit rings" would permit the use of smaller structural members through the development of full working stress of the wood. fimber Engineering Company was established as an afrliate of National Lumber Manufacturers Association to develop and introduce the system to the United States. Regarded by many as one of the most efficient mechanical fasteners ever developed, the split ring has been the forerunner of a wide variety of structural timber connectors introduced bv TECO. Among these are such standard and well known products as shear plates, spike grids, toothed rings, clamping plates and

various types of special framing anchors. All are designed to make more efficient use of wood as a structural material. Within the past five years there has been an intensification of TECO product development activities with the result that many new types of structural wood fas-

is working on a concealed fastener for the attachment of beveled wood sidine that has been pre-finished in the mill. Th[ product still is in the development stage.

Because of its special interest in serving the lumber industry" quite frequently TECO finds itsell considering and investigating products and systems which depart from conventional concepts of construction. A good example of this is the Line-A-Joist connector. Designed for use in cantilevered floor framing, the product can save up to $30 or more per house through utilization of negative and positive be"ding as opposed to positive bending alone as found in conventional framing methods.

The same kind of foiward thinkine that went into the design of the Line-A-Joist system was behind the development of trussed rafters when, in 1946, TECO sug_ gested the idea of using roof trusses fo-r residential and other light construction. At that time less than l/o of the homes used roof trusses. Today over S0/o oI the single dwelling units use trusses and close to thirty firms are making truss connectors of various types.

teners have appeared on the market under the TECO name. Included is a bridging called "Fas-Lok" which eliminates any need for nails. In addition there is a more efficiently designed joist hanger which costs approximately 50% less than old style stirrup or strap hangers. It is called the TECOU-Grip joist and beam hanger. Other new products added to the TECO line include utility angles, plywood supports, post caps and metal gusset plates for single plane roof truss assembly. At present the firm

TECO offers the lumber dealer ,euo roof truss connector systems and is the only firm to do so. One is the widely known and used split ring connector system and the other is the more recently introduced metal plate system lor single plane assem. bly. Both systems require very little in the way of plant investment. In most cases Iess than $300 will take care of equipment and incidental costs.

Another recent TECO development that should be of interest to lumber dealers is a new jig the firm has designed for use in assembling wall panels built in accordance with NLMA's Unicom system of construction. Accommodating panel heights of up

TEC0 Technician Paul Hedlund makes visual check for delamination after completion of a test cycle on interior type plywood.

to 8l-7" and lengths ranging from 16'' to 12', the jig is extremely flexible in making any combination of wall, door and window panels. Through the use of specially designed tostud locators" and "pressure bars," the pieces literally snap into position so that no measuring or marking is required when setting the jig up for panel production. The jig is scheduled for a marketing date of June oI this year.

QUATITY CONTROT DIVISION

Research, which has played such a prom' inent role in TECO activities, led directly to the firm's entry into independent quality control and grade certification of wood products. In 1958 following extensive re' search in behalf of several plywood producers. TECO was asked to establish and operate a quality control program for four plywood mills. The program as then conceived, and operating now in eighteen Douglas fir and Western softwood plants is based on daily, in-the-mill inspection and testing through all phases of production and the final product.

An experienced plywood technician is on duty at each plant checking and testing to assure a level of quality which meets or exceeds requirements of the Commercial Standard. Professionally trained TECO supervisors visit the plants regularly to monitor the work of the technicians and

consult with management on materials and production techniques to maintain the con' sistent high quality of TECO TESTED plywoood.

The steady increase in the number of plywood manufacturers serviced by TECO with the corresponding increase in volume of TECO stamped plywood, coupled with the recognition and acceptance of TECO TESTED plywood in the market, furnish ample evidence of the soundness of the TECO program.

Activity and growth of TECO's quality

control is not limited to plywood. Shortly after the merits of the program were evi' denced, TECO extended quality control and grade certification services to wood par' ticle board. Six leading manufacturers are serviced by TECO. To merit certification and bear the TECO grade stamp, produc' tion must meet or exceed the requirements of the recognized standard governing the quality requirements for the specific prod' ucts. The acceptance of TECO TESTED particle board is ample evidence of tle (Contiru,ed, on Page 98)

Chalk up another first for Don Weber of Weber Plywood, Inc. of Santa Ana, Calif.

He was sponsor of a unique two-day t'airlift" which saw some 3I top Southern Califor4ia building contractors and cabinet makers take a conducted tour of the Southern Oregon Plywood mill and the brand new Sierra Wood Products pre-finishing plant. Both are at Grants Pass, Oregon.

Weber chartered a sleek DC-3 for the trip. He flew his customers into Grants Pass Tuesday morning May 14 and had them home again Wednesday afternoon, but only after they had been given a comprehensive short course in the manufacturing of fir and hardwood plywood, priming of exterior siding and the pre-finishing of hardwood paneling.

Their whirlwind schedule included brief talks and then field trips through the mill. 'olecturers" for the course included Robert Kellsq So-Ply plant superintendent, and Jack Seymour, Production supervisor at Sierra W'ood Products.

Immediately after their arrival in Oregon the group met for a luncheon at which they were briefed on all activities scheduled for the day by Robert G. Davis, general manager So-Ply.

Then they heard a brief talk by Don Jaenicke, advertising and sales promotion director o{ the Douglas Fir Plywood Assn.

Next in line were Kellso and Seyrnore who took the visitors on a verbal step-bystep trip through the plywood mill and the pre-finishing plant.

Immediately thereafter the group went through the two plants

At So-Ply they traveled from the log pond through the entire manufacturing process. During all stages Kellso explained

Unique Airlift Tour Of Two Oregon Mills

methods and procedures and answered questions.

From the plywood mill they were conducted through the pre-finish plant where the Sierra production line was in operation.

They were also shown display racks of production items and given a brief glimpse into the future o{ pre-finishing in a section of the Sierra plant which is reserved for research and development.

Throughout this period Seymour discussed production and quality control

methods which are employed at Sierra and answered the barrage of questions which were fired his way.

In the early evening the group gathered for a social hour which was followed by an evening "champagne" dinner at which no speeches were scheduled.

Early Wednesday the Californians broke off into separate small groups and went back to the two mills to see asain those phases of the operation in whichlh"y *"r" particularly interested.

The techniques of production are being explained here by Bob Davis, president of Sierra Wood Products and general manager of Southern 0regon Plywood, as they stop along the line at the coating machine.

I All of the buildings are of pole-type construction. Nine of them rvere erected by the Pole Building Construction Departmcnt of Koppers Company, Inc., using Koppers Cellon*-treated poles. This treatment provides permanent protection from attack by decay and termitcs, and leaves the surface so clean that Sequoia painted the poles in attractive hues. I For three manufacturing buildings, Koppers Unit Structures Department furnished laminated beams-some 80 feet long. By use of these, Sequoia eliminated center poles, providing unrestricted working space. Koppers Pole Building Construction Department has headquarters in Los Angeles works anywhere in the West. I Koppers wood preserving plants are strategically located in California and Oregon. If your firm is expanding or replacing outmoded buildings, and you want new buildings with permanency, beauty and efficiency-at cost savings of up to 40/6 over conventional construction,-it will pay you to contact Koppers Wood Preserving Division at one of the offices listed below. We'll gladly consult with you-help you design your buildings.

0lympic Stain has an undercouer agent

Code name: PM0

Assignment: protect wood siding

PMO stands for Phenyl-MercuryOleate. We put a healthy slug of it in every can of Olympic exterior stain.

(Around the plant, of course, we don't make such a production of it as we did in the photo. That was just for la ughs.)

But the purpose of PMO is dead serious: preventing rot and mildew, And it does the job.

Many exterior stains contain no preservative whatsoever. Others are made with old-fashioned creosote which protects fairly well, but has an unpleasant odor and tends to bleed through and watermark.

Even though it costs more, we use PMO because it's colorless, odorless and considerably more effective. PMO is one reason why Olympic is a little more exoensive than some stains. And a whole lot longer-lasting.

NLMA Spokesman Urges Trade Groups to Tackle Controversial lssues

Trade associations in the lumber industtry are on notice that they face loss of membership and possible extinction if they refuse to become involved in controversial issues.

Mortimer B. Doyle, executive vice president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, also warned the industry's trade groups not to cut their dues rates in the hope of attracting new, or retaining old. members.

"I have had lumber association executives tell me that their association might lose members if they raise the dues or if they engage in controversial areas. Well, we have associations in this industry paying $2.70 a thousand for promotion and doing a darn good job. Sure, they have fewer members, but those they do have are getting a return that warrants such a payment," Doyle declared in a recent speech before the West Coast Lumbermen's Association in Portland, Oregon.

The NLMA executive reminded his audi-

ence that members of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association are now paying 75 cents a thousand for promotion, although that organization is engaged in a number of controversial activities.

"Sure, they'll lose an occasional member who might disagree with a particular policy," Doyle noted, "but tley also are doing a darn good job for their members-let's not ever forget it." He continued:

o'Your members would also pay 75 cents per thousand for lumber promotion and activities, instead of half that amount, but you must be prepared to lose the faint hearted-you'll eventually lose them anyway even i{ you eut the dues.

t'If you have a program worth 75 cents per thousand you'll attract those companies tlat are willing to spend to progress and not just stand still or slip back. If your regional associations were handling all problems from the stump to sale in the house, you would have no reason to concern yourself with splinter groups or one-puf,pose

associations. Rather, you would insist on , regionals lieing strongly led, optimistic in attitude, resolute in program implqmelta;:lli tion, fearless to'threats, and determined t0- r be efiective-jf for only two members." , '

Doyle stressed that NLMA will undertalce "any program of benefrt to the lumber. industryo controversial or not,o' because .l] 'ow€'re not afraid to tackle anything." He .l spelled out his philosophy on this subject, as follows:

"Today we are enmeshed in many con:' ,.{ troversial programsgrade simplification'-+ and standardization, Canadian imports and industry-government bargaining on timber matters. By their very nature, these pro-grams tend to divide the industry-but such division will sewe a purpose of eventu" ally unifying tle industry, particularly if' members of the various associations resist 1' acceding to the wishes of those who threaten l to resign if they don't get their own .way' or those who benefit from but are not will'

MARKETING STRESSED AT N-AWLA MEETING

Lumber wholesalers, 200 strong, took important steps to increase their contribution to marketing of lumber products during the Tlst annual meeting of the National.American lVholesale Lumber Association April 25-27 in New Orleans.

In an efiort to make lumber wholesalers more promotion-minded, representatives of major manufacturing associations joined in an all-day panel session. The meeting included discussions of direct mail, local publicity, fieldmen and literature. It was decided that a more efiective promotional program would be achieved by taking advantage of the educational arrd promotional efiorts of the manufacturing associations.

Included in the action at the meeting was a unique panel which brought the combined thinking of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers to one table to discuss solutions to six vital questions.

And, to make oertain that its function is properly understood and used by the manufacturer and retailer alikeo the N-AWLA members unanimously adopted the first full-fledged trade information and education program. Slated to begin June l, the trade relations program is designed to strengthen working relationships between the wholesaler and his suppliers and outletJ.

ttWe must tailor our services to the exact needs of our customers and make sure they know how to use us," said William W. Wood, Charlotte, N. C., chairman of N-AWLA's public relations committee. Pacific National Advertising Agency, Portland, Oregon, was appointed to work with the N-AWLA staff in developing the program.

Following are the highlights of the multiple-industry answers to panel questions up for discussion:

1 What are the advantages and disadvantages of mills and wholesalers having a written sales policy? The group was almost evenly divided for and against a written sales policy. It was pointed out that a wholesaler's and a mill's policy changes in different geographical areas, and a written sales policy could be misinterpreted.

2. How can mills be assisted to become more sales minded rather than production minded? The general response to this ques- tion was 'omore efiective communications." W'holesalers should act as a sounding board for the mills and relay market trends. In this way, the wholesalers could assist in planning more efficient production.

3. What can be done to reduce the in-place cost of wood products? The group suggested that the key to the proble- *". -o." product information and education should be passed from the mill to the wholesaler and to the retailer

4. How can the lumber industry guarantee price on extended delivery to compete with other products? It was suggested that a guarantee was needed but that prices fluctuate almost daily on non-specialty items. The possibilities of using a performance bond was sugg-ested to prevent cancellations because of price changes on extended business.

5. Where does the wholesaler and dealer fit into the distribution of pre-cut lumber and component parts? The mill,s function is to manufacture the parts while the wholesaler's responsibirity is to furnish these parts to the dealer. The dealer either mav assemble the parts or stock them to sell to contractors and builders. The wholesaler .should sell the dealer on the use of the parts and the dealer should show the builder the benefits of using these components.

6. How does the wholesaler and retailer fit into the distribution of new and diversified products developed by the mills? The wholesaler should act as a marketing expert to provide the mill

However,. the manufacturer should protect the wholesaler bnd the wholesaler should protect the retailer. The wholesaler has .lthe responsibility of helping the retailer promote the product.

Another session of the meeting, which drew lumber wholesalers .from 32 states and 4 Canadian provinces, included the election of l,ljnew ofrcers. Charles E.

Flokeboard, Hardboqrd, Porticleboard, and Fibron Sales 'Under One Roof'

Consolidation of flakeboard, hardboard, particleboard and new Fibron cellulose-fiber panel marketing 'under one roof has just been completed by Georgia-Pacific Corp.

It follows addition of the company's new three'layered flakeboard production to the man-made "boardn' line. The move al' lows users to select virtually any panel density, thickness or size for any use from one sourcer according to IV'. H. Hunt, vice' president for plywood and specialty sales.

G-P's new flakeboard manufacturing operation is producing a hardboard panel in thicknesses from 3/e to l/g'inch, Hunt said. It rounds out a "board" line that now includes high, low, and medium density core stock for all types of laminating plus cabinet and wall panels, special furniture and woodworking stock, underlayments, sliding door stock, flush door core panels, and similar industrial and construction uses.

Board products in the new group range from /g to 2 inches in thicknesses and up to 5 x 20 feet for some types. Production at the company's new hardboard tempering plant also is being integrated into the new marketing program, it .was indicated, bringing to a dozen the number of manufacturing plants involved.

Consolidation of "board" sales makes a complete line available from one source nationwide through G-P's B0 distribution centers and special mill sales and industrial specialists, Hunt said.

Coordination of the program under Hunt, will be through Kenneth W. Guenther, recently named product manager for flakeboardo Filrori and particleboard, and Walter C. Walling, sales mandger'for the GP haiilboard division. Walling is a past president of the American Hardboard Association.

All three operate out of G-P's national headquarters in Portland, Oregon.

tisingo the advisability of getting a con' tractor's license (whether you use it or

not), the HAPI program the works.

One figure that startled us no little bit was again a statement by Art Hood in this session. We remember putting a lead head over our coverage of LMA's 18th annual in 1958, *How to Capture That 6 Billion Dollar Remodeling l\{arket." Heck, we were just pikers then.

This year (just 5 years later) American homeou'ners will spend nearly 16 billion dollars on home improvements, according

to Hood, an amount equal to 70/o oL total new home construction. And his educated guess is that in another five years Mr. Homeowner will spend another third more, something like 22 billion, on home expansion and remodeling projects.

Another informative workshop session was held Tuesday morning with Jim Dean, secretary manager of the Building Material Dealers Credit Association, speaking on "State Legislaliel-Je11v Association ancl You."

Noting that construction is California's second largest industry, Dean pointed out that it is also one of the State's biggest problem child industries. Referring to the

absurdity of selling builders on the basis of lien laws, he noted that nearly 25/o oL all the new homes built in California last year were liened by suppliers!

Glad to know we're not alone in our own little personal state of bankruptcy!

However, on the brighter side of the picture, Dean also pointed out advantages of being in the fast growing West. According to the latest adjusted census figures, the population of the U. S. has increased I57o since 1950. But in the same period it has increased. 46/o in California, 58o/o in Nevada, and 7I/o in Arizona.

The fourth and final workshop was held Tuesday afternoon with LMA attorney, Wililam Clecak, at the rostrum, his subieli "Anti-Trust Laws and Competitive Business Today."

Although one generally associates the subject of anti-trust legislation with our larger industrial giants, many of whom have been making front page copy of late, it would seem to a candid observer that the lumber industrv should take a careful look into its selling and buying practices. Clecak discussed several smaller case histories with the interested dealer group, and questions from the floor ran the final n'orkshop period nearly two hours overtime. It was suggested that any LMA member having doubts as to certain buying or selling practices should contact his association headquarters, 1255 Post Street, San Francisco.

The final business session completed, the gentlemen joined their ladies in the Main Lounge of the Ahwahnee for the third industry-sponsored cocktail party, made possible through the generous donations of the firms listed elsewhere in this article.

A genial gentleman already known to members of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, Mr. Frank Heard, general manager of Motroni-Heard Lumber Company in Woodland, California, decided about a year ago that it takes more than over three acres o{ flexible inventory of lumber and a full line of building materials to succeed in business. Sales must be made.

I was called in to assist. Mr. Heard wasn't happy with his credit merchandising program and wanted to solicit the credit trade in his trade area only alter adequnte corrtrol was installed,. Lacking professional training of his credit department stafi I

was expected to improve this phase of his operations. He wanted to woo the credit trade, the majority group in the Woodland trading area, and have a plan that would appeal to the average buyer and the "do-ityourselfers." He knew that consumers often charge more than they can pay in a lump sum when the balance is due.

Mr. Heard has an admirable philosophy

Electric Heql Promotion Sponsored By Ponderoso Pine Woodwork

The wood window industry has joined in the promotion of electric heatine.

Lumber producers and woodwork manufacturers, working through thcir as-cociation, Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, have developed a full -.cale program which was announced at the Edison Electric Institute's recent sales conference in Chicago.

"We feel that there is a real opportunity for our industry to effectively promote electric heating," R. H. Herbst, general man' ager oI PPW said. "Power suppliers are well aware that efficiency in electric heating depends upon the control o{ heat loss, air infiltration, and r:ondensation. Like good insulation, good windows and doors play an important role in achieving this goal."

The Edison Electric Institute, which represents investor-owned electric utilities, has for many years been promoting electric heating through advertising in national magazines. PPW participated in the Chicago sales conference with an exhibit on its electric heating program. It also showed why wood windows remain {ree from condensation in an electrically heated home.

PPW editorial material, builder and consumer literature, tech" nical bulletins and planning kits will tie in dealer, manufacturer, and electric power supplier's sales campaigns. Promotional material n'ill reach builders, architects, electrical contractors, electric suppliers and the general public. It is being prepared for national building and architectural magazines, consumer publications, and the syndicated news service, Home Planning, which reaches daily and weekly newspapers whose circulation totals over 54 million.

Another part of the promotiol program will be distribution of a new booklet, "Electrically Heated Homes Need Good Windows," which was introduced at the sales conference. It contains engineering data to emphasize the three main advantages of wood windows in all-electric home construction. They are: reduced air infiltration, lower heat loss, and freedom from condensation.

The booklet points out that rvith electric heating systems a comfortable humidity level may be maintained throughout the winter, Hower,er, this higher humidity level can cause condensa' tion to {orm on the inside of cold window sash. A table in the booklet points out how the natural insulating quality of wood $'hen used in window sash controls condensation.

Copies of the booklet are available, free o{ charge, and may be obtained by writing Ponderosa Pine S'oodwork, 39 S. LaSalle St., Chicago 3, Illinois.

Willomette Volley Hoo-Hoo Plons June Golf Tourney

The Willamette Valley Hoo-Hoo Club's 22nd Annual Golf Tournament will bring some 3@ lumbermen to the velvet turf and pampered greens of the Eugene Country Club on June 14.

A new perpetual trophy is being ofiered this year to the best team of four entered by any Hoo-Hoo Club. 'Ihe trophy is to be known as the Hoo-Hoo Club Trophy. Hoo.Hoo Clubs in the Northwest and in California are invited to enter one or more teams of four comprised of club members to compete for the trophy at scratch play. The trophy will remain in the possession of the winning Hoo.Hoo Club until next year's tournament.

The traditional bountiful prizes for individual and team gross and net scores, that have been a feature of the Willamette Vallev tournament for many y"urr, *ill be awarded again this y""r. A One Club Tournament, starting at 9:00 A.M. on the back nine, will draw many players who like to get back early for the Gin Rummy Tournament and other indoor pastimes.

All of this outdcor fun will be climaxed by a splended banquet in the club dining room and a happy hour that lasts lrom noon until nine-thirty!Jim Mills is General Chairman of the committee handling arrangements.

Plywood Leoder Soys Reseorch ls On The Rise

The western lumber and plywood industry o'is showing sigrrs of awakening from a deep and complacent sleep" in research programming, Dr. O. Harry Schrader, Jr., I(/ashington division manager of United States Plywood Corporation, has stated.

Speaking before the annual conference of the Western Forestry and Conservation Association, the plywood executive reviewed some of the general contributions that research has made in recent. years to the lumber and plywood business.

Schrader pointed out that according to independent studies in research, a new product ooarriving on the American market has a life expectancy of about six years at a profitable level for the manu{acturer." Many new products in plywood and lumber have even shorter expectancies, he said.

Commenting on the tremendous cost of research, Schrader said that these same studies indicate that it takes 54O product ideas to produce one profitable salable item and that of eight proposed

new.products which reach the market testing stage, only one product survives.

Schrader reviewed research accomplishments in laminated timbers, end and edge gluing of lumber, development of new structural ideas for plywood, plywood prefinishing progress, and utilization of leftover in these industries for pulp, hardboard and particle board.

'oI, for one, feel," he said, o'that our industry is showing signs of awakening from a deep and complacent sleep on the subject of research by corporations. Obviously overall size and dollar sales by growing corporations are the major factors governing the ability to finance organized research."

Schrader said that research and development in the field of building components, such as panelized floor and roof sections, box beams and unusual building forms like folded plates and domes has brought about o'a wedding of lumber and plywood, giving these two competitive industries a joint market approach."

Schrader said that the possibilities in components o'have not yet been scratched." He pointed out, however, that although builders are almost unanimous in feeling that new components o'are a must," they have been hesitant and timid about accepting new products o{ this type.

He said real progress in components has so far been limited primarily to custom fabrication, which makes it possible to achieve the economies of standardized volume production.

"When it comes to the development of a limited number of stock components designed on a standard basis," he said, o'we are still on dead center. Yet this is the real future of the component business."

Schrader also said that the industry has made real progress in developing new wood products that are virtually maintenance free. "U. S. Plywood has developed a new siding product surfaced with DuPont's Tedlar, which Iooks like the most durable exterior for houses ever brought to market," he said,

wood manufacturers to obtain highest qual-

Secretory Freemqn Procloims Selwoy-Bitlerroot Wilderness

The Nation's largest proclaimed S'ilderness Area was estabIished in the National Forest System on January 11, 1963.

An S0-mile-long stretch of wild mountain country along the Bitterroot Divide between Idaho and Montana and some 45 miles of the free flowing Selway River have been formally changed {rom Primitive Area to W'ilderness Area, Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman announced.

"After thorough review of the recommendations submritted by this Department's Forest Service, I have proclaimed a major part o{ the former Primitive Area alone the Bitterroot Divide the new Bitterroot Wilderness Area." the Secretary said. "This new Wilderness Area, comprising 1,239,800 acres in four National Forests in Idaho and Montana, is the largest formally proclaimed Wilderness Area in the National Forest System."

The original area, classified as Primitive since 1936, involved a total acreage o{ 1,875,306, which had been laid out urrder the less exacting requirements for Primitive Areas. For example, Some o{ the former Primitive Area had roads. Other parts had sites suitable and currently needed for water impouniments, future developed recreation areas and for timber harvesting. Roughly. a net 418,500 acres was declassified and put under regular multiple-use management. An additional 216,870 acres has been retained in primitive status pending further study.

When an area is designated a wilderness, no permanent roads may be present or built into it, nor is motorized transportation permitted. Timber cutting and other commercial uses, except al. ready established grazing of livestock, are not allowed. There is extensive management to control grazing of pack stock, to provide trails, fire and pest protection, and supervision of choice camping sites. Such measures are necessary to keep wilderness in its natural state.

Located in the Lolo, Bitterroot, Clearwater, and Nezperce National Forests, the new Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area encompasses the crest of the Bitterroot mountains for about B0 miles, a 4S-mile section of the Selway River, the Selway River Canyon, many mountain lakes, and much wild, forested country.

The area forms the summer range for one of the largest elk herds in the United States and is extensively used for big game hunting. It is also valuable for water production, and there is some mineral potential, the extent of which is presently unknown. Should these mineral values become important, they can be developed under provisions of the U. S. mining laws.

The decision provides that some 44,000 acres on the slope of the Lochsa River is to be managed with recognition oI recreation as the 'okey value." This portion was not included in the wilderness area because parts of it will be needed for future developed camping spots and pack facilities.

Flotcor Shipment of G-P Plywood Arrives in L.A.

These photos show Georgia-Pacific's first shipment of plywood by flatcar into the Los Angeles area. Receiving the shipment was Rossman Mill & Lumber who reported it a complete success and noted that there was no damage or slippage. Pictured at the spur on arrival, from left, are L. M.

This method of shipping provides an ideal way for yards that do not have fully built unloading docks and ramps. It permits fast, easy handling by mobile equipment and yard personnel. Outside yard and jobsite storage utilizing the original waterproof wrapping is another advantage oI this paekaging.

Redwood Fqrm Use

Redwood, unlike the majority of metals used in farm construction, is not damaged by exposure to barnyard acids such as are found in manure.

Redwood heartwood is used as a farm building material because of its natural resistance to attack by decay-causing fungus or termites.

The grading of California redwood lumber is specifically designed to provide the right type of lumber for farm use. The lumber is separated into decay-resistant all-heartwood grades and other grades for general construction. These all-heartwood grades range from a knot-free Clear All Heart for fine sidings to a useful Construction Heart for general farmstead use,

Slat-and-wire utility fencing can be used to make an economical sunshade for animals on feedlot or pasture. The California Redwood Association, Dept. FL-A, 576 Sacramento Street, San Francisco ll, California, has simple plans for such a sunshelter.

Exponded "Porloble Oftice" Produced for Remodelers

A new brie{case "portable office" for remodeling contractors, packed with sales

and estimating material, has just been produced by Georgia-Pacific Corp. to fill requests from contractors and building material dealers for up'to'date remodeling data.

It expands and updates a previous highly successful remodelers' kit, of which more than 14,000 have been distributed to contractors and dealers from coast to coast during the past year, according to H. C. Ellicott, G-P's advertising and promotion manager. Data in the new kit is not confined to G-P products and includes some of the most popular items from the intial kits.

Among key items in the l0xlS-inch plastic briefcase is a plastic-bound "Contractor Guide to Remodeling" book with tables for estimating framing, sheathing, flooring, furring, nailing, concrete slabs, brickwork, excavating and other phases of construction.

Among sales aids adopted from previous kits is a stereo viewer with color beforeand-after photos of successful remodeling jobs, which G-P said has proven to be one of the most valuable selling tools it has developed.

The complete "portable office," including the briefcase, is available for $2.50 when ordered on a company letterhead from Georgia-Pacific Corp., P.O. Box 3lI, Portland 7, Ore., Attn. Sales Promotion Dept.

DIXIETINE LUMBER

(Continued. trom Page 28)

a six and one-half acre site of tidelands in the heart of the expanding industrial area of the border city and represents an investment of more than $200,fi)0.00. Cowling also declared this one of the largest moves ever made by a lumber company in San Diego. More than five million board feet of lumbei will be on inventory at all times and will require the services of 15 units of mobile equipment to keep the materials moving into and out of the plant.

The main warehouse and mill were erected by the San Antonio Construction Co., Artesia, California. The rigid pole storage slged and general offices, 90 x 250 feet, will house a million board feet of clear, kiln-dried finish lumber and plywood. The 6,000 squarefoot mill building is equipped with various units of machinery for customer milling and resurfacing of all sizes of heavy timbers.

Both buildingr *"r" designed fi, "u.y, economical and fast handling and provide complete inventory protection at all times.

At the open house affair visitors were greeted by William S. o'Bill" Cowling, Sr., president, Bill Cowling, Jr., vice-president, and Gil Freese, Jr., secretary-treasurer of the progressive firm. Refreshments and bufiet were served from Il:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. Many of the key company employees were on hand to greet friends, guests and suppliers.

Dixieline Lumber Company has a total of 76 experienced employees on the administrative, operations and sales staff, and operates 12 trucks for local delivery in its trade area. The new plant will service the contractor trade as a distribution yard and has been completely surfaced to permit free use of fast modern materials handling equipment. It also contains a 276 foot Santa Fe rail spur which will handle loading and unloading of five rail cars simultaneously.

Another big advantage of the new plant is its easy access {or cargo shipments. "Eighty percent of all our lumber is received by ship and at this new location we have a thousand {oot pier which will be utilized to full advantage in handlins our water shipments"" said Bill Cowling. Jr.

This complete operation is truly a progressive venture, not only for San Diego, but for the West Coast lumber industry as a whole.

Al/o-and the remainder is in plywood, veneers, paperboard, containers and paper, But the changeover was unnerving. Once it had learned to bleach fir pulp, Weyerhaeuser quintupled production and set out to become the dominant U.S. pulp supplier. But rival pulpmakers bought up paper companies, which then used only their pulp; to compete, Weyerhaeuser was forced to buy up its own paper and plywood mills. It struggled through organizational shakedowns and an initiation into the unfamiliar areas o{ new products and consumer sales.

The initiation and the losses it involved are about over. For the past three vears the lumber industry has beerl plagued by overcapacity, Canadian competition and sales losses to such rival materials as plastics and metal. But Weyerhaeuser in-

creased sales and earnings last year, for the first quarter of 1963 raised sales another l4/o to $136,856,000 and profits 25/o to $9,288,000. Its basic position is good: it has no debts, $ll7 million in working capital and a fourth-generationseedling in Vice President Weyerhaeuser, i36,-" who is ready to iake over when his uncle, Chairman Frederick K.

Remodeling Stockton Store

Don Giottonini, owner of Valley Lumber & Supply Company, located on South Center Street in Stockton, is currently remodeling his showroom to better serve his growing walk-in trade. Dealer Giottonini plans to complete the project this Spring in anticipation of a good retail business year in the area.

Women who know choose vertical erain west coast hemlock or western red cedar for wall paneling because these woods have rich texture and color, but their delicate tracing of vertical grain impose no restrictions on selection of other textures and patterns for the room's furnishings.

CREDIT CORNER

(Continued lrom Page 60) parts of our economy, but credit sales must be collected while good customer relations are maintained. He insisted that collections be made. He insisted that his stafi be trained in basie credit management and know how to help maintain goid eustomer relations.*

In my opinion, Mr. Heard foundo as so many do, difficulty acoepting a professional credit department standard requiring that credit applications be taken, investigated, and systematic and consistant collection methods be followed. He was so close to so many customers. He has been associated with Motroni-Heard Lumber Companv since 1939, was a member of WoodLnds city council for thirteen years and Mayor for ten years. Nevertheless, outstanding receivables represent invested capital and must turn over, and Mr. Heard, a good businessman, realized this.

This firm boasts a fine management team. Douglas Motroni is store manager, Bill McClelland as office manager was chosen to ram-rod the credit department, and since Spanish-speaking people are in abundance in Woodland and the surrounding trade area, a most efficient member of the team was Joe Espagaras who speaks Spanish. Joe does a magnificent job in sales and lending a hand when Spanish is needed to help collect a delinquent account.

Most of this dealership's annual sales of over $700,000.00 are credit sales. Last September revolving credit was ofiered to their customers and it o'took." Open accounts receivable with debit balances average 742 per month, credit sales per account are over $200.00 indicatine excellent credit selling, and the most tf,at has been added to these open accounts in service charges for any one month is nearly $900.00. Delinquency has been reduced 23 percent. Collected service charges help ofiset administrative costs.

CATIFONNIA IUIIDER'VIERCHANT

The management team in this dealership are worthy of commendation for their attitude toward progress and making profits.

Mr. Heard, past president of the Lumber Merchants Association of Northern California, and presently on the Executive Committee, National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association, finds advancement interesting and agrees that there is always a way to do anything better.

GITES LUMBER

(Continued lrom Page 16) that come up. With a wide range of colIective experience they provide knowledgeable counsel for the customer who wants advice on the best way to put up the paneling in that new room that has just been added to the house.

March lst of this year was the 3lst anniversary for Giles Lumber Co. It was built with the idea that drive-in traffic would supply much of the trade. o'W'hen we built I had the driveway made thirty feet wide, which seemed plenty wide at the time," says Bill Giles, "but I'm sorry now that I didn't make it sixty feet wide."

(And how many times have we heard something similar to that in car-saturated Los Angeles.)

In 1942, ten years after opening, the yard made its biggest expansion, both in new buildings and in size. Presently it stretches for some 350 {eet along busy Hawthorne Boulevard, a main arterial for the area. The big warehouse at the back of the lot was built just after World War II. Any big, or damageable items, along with the rolling equipment, are stored in it.

With so much of their trade made up of do-it-yourselfers Giles Lumber has found that in many cases the best way to sell the customer is to let him so out in the

yard and pick out what he wants. This has the added advantage of letting the staff handle a greater volume of customer traffic in less time.

Bill Giles, who got his start in the lum' ber business piling boards at the old Sine Brothers Lumber Co. at Slauson and Budlong in Los Angeles, has never felt that price-cutting was his way of doing business. "We don't cut price, because we don't cut the quality of the merchandise, as a result our customers can count on get' ting what they bargained for," he reflected.

And from seeing all those cars around his yard on Saturdays it would seem he knows whereof he speaks.

G-P FIGHTS

(Continucd, lrom Page 30)

of the government timber in Oregon is hemlock and whether you like it or not, that is largely lumber timber, unless you ship it in raw logs to the Japanese.

Which brings the situation down to where it hurts the most, to the workers who lose the lumbering jobs. Pamplin knows this. o'There is only so much lumber to be cut and sold, and more and more of that is coming from Canada," he said with sincere concern.

G-P already has tested its 6,300 Oregon employees to see if the situation is under'

stood by the workers. In a poll asking how they felt about the Jones Act, the company found that 96.7 percent of the union em' ployees and 98.7 percent of the non union employees were for repeal of the act'

However, for the unions involved-who are the only other possible source of strength in the fight for equality-the crisis has different meanings.

Al Hartung has openly urged his International Woodworkers of America members to defeat Sen. Neuberger for her role in attacking the Jones Act. His IWA has ap' proximately half of its membership in Canada. Whether payrolls grow in Canada or in the U.S. is of no great overall im-

portance to the union's total membership.

For Earl Hartley's LSWU it is a sharper issue. The LSWU has no Canadian mem' bership and what this union loses in jobs to Canada is simply gone.

So now, with the G-P *if ' you ' can't ' lick - 'em, - join - 'emt' move, and with a perceptible weariness in the survival com' mittee fight, the struggle for the Northwest's lumber jobs shifts to the workers.

Whether they are willing to or can do more than management to bring about equality with the Canadian mills is doubtful, but for the 385 who lost their jobs in Oregon this past week, there are reasons enough to try.
