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.

Pole-type construction provides Sequoia with efficient, economical new facilities at 0range, Galif.

It's a unique plant-the new lO-building complcx of Sequoia Forest Industries built at Orange, Calif. It's permanent and pretty. It's e{ficient. And construction economies were outstanding. How did Sequoia obtain this combination of advantages?

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.
