Plywood Wholesoler Exponds

California Plywood Corp. has moved into new quarters in Emeryville, Calif. as part of a big expansion program, company president Pat Cardin has announced. The plywood wholesalers' new 27,0@ sq. ft. quarters at I40l 45th St. replaces a smaller space at 4246 Hollis St., just around the corner from its new location.

The history of California Plywood goes back to 1929, when it opened as a branch of Wanke Panel Company of Portland, Oregon. Leo Fleitz, the current vice-president of the firm, came to work in 1931, and when the business incorporated in 1936, he became one of the major stockholders. The current Cardin-Fleitz ownership came into being in 1953, when Pat Cardin resigned his interest in California Builders Supply to purchase a major portion of California Plywood's outstanding stock.

WAlong with the warehouse expansion, Cardin and Fleitz also announced the return of Bob Blacksher and the addition of Bob Leachman and John Corgiat to the sales staff. Blacksher, who was originally with California Plywood, had more recently been with Watson Plywood. Leachman comes to the firm from Evans Products and Corgiat from sales with Chas. McMurray, Inc., of San Francisco.
