Over 600 building designers, engineers, contractors and representatives of allied professions are expected to attend the 11th annual convention of the American Institute of Building Design, San Francisco, July 27-30.

An outstanding authority on nrban development and home construction, David D. Bohannon, will participate in the program before the delegates. Bohannon is a former president of the National Association of Home Builders and a leader in the industry.

U.5. Plywood Acquires Western Plywood Ltd.

Acquisition by United States Plywood Corporation of Western Plywood Company Ltd., with annual sales of $18 million. was announced May 23. '

S. W. Antoville, U.S. Plywobd .hair*"n, said the addition of Western's six manufacturing plants and eight distribution outlets in Canada will round out his company's coverage of all major markets in the Dominion.

The transaction was completed for about $6.5 million, and will result in the issuance of approximately 110,000 shares of U.S. Plywood common to former Western Plywood holders. The balance is being made up in an undisclosed amount of cash.

John Bene, who continues as president and managing director of Western, said in a simultaneous announcement emanating from Vancouver, 8.C., that holders of more than 91 per cent of Western's 423,978 shares of class B stock and 95 per cent of its A stock number 80,000 shares have accepted the offer U.S. Plywood made public in April.

Along with owned or controlled standing timber amounting to more than two billion board feet, U.S. Plywood acquires four additional Canadian plywood plants-two in Vancouver, one in Quesnel, British Columbia, and one in Edmonton, Alberta-with capacity to produce about 200 million square feet annually on a /s" basis. These plants produce Douglas fir and poplar plywood and specialty items such as sidings and doors. Two sawmills and eight distributing warehouses, similar to the chain of sales centers now operated by U.S. Plywood in the United States and Canada, complete the Western Plywood picture.

With the addition of Western Plywood facilities to those of Hay & Co. Ltd., a manufacturing division acquired in 1945, and Weldwood Plywood Limited, established as the distribution arm in Canida in 1946, U.S. Plywood operates a total of 54 plants and 144 sales centers that include

display rooms and warehouse facilities.

Gene C. Brewer, president of U.S. Plywood, pointed out that Canadian plywood production has risen from 300 million square feet in 1950 to more than 1,200 million in 19ffi. (%" basis).

"Canada not only produces ply'"vood for her own needs but supplies 20 per cent o{ the United Kingdom's consumption," he said. "We're anticipating continued growth of Canadian markets, particularly in component construction, summer or vacation homes, and in farm buildings. Our present investment in Canada's future will undoubtedly increase."

United States Plywood now has an investment in Canadian operations amounting to 15 per cent of the company's total net worth, with all Canadian sales (including Western's) accounting for an estimated $36 million. The firm's annual total sales have been upwards of a cluarter of a billion dollars.
