The Frank Curran Lumber Company has occupied the five-acre yard in Santa Ana at 1003 E. Fourth St. since 1935. In addition to vast lumber storage sheds, the yard operates a customer planing mill and employs more than 60 skilled workmen in operations, sales and accounting.

"By streamlining our organization and facilities, we are able to provide the fastest, most efficient service to the customers-and that is what counts most," declares Frank Curran.

The original Frank Curran Lumber Company was started in Pomona in 1902 and moved to Santa Ana in 1935 when Frank Curran, Sr. established his firm in the old E. K. Wood yard. In addition to the home yard there, Curran Lumber maintains modern, progressive lineyards in Orange, Huntington Beach and Capistrano Beach, making a total of four retail sites in Orange county.

"The promotion of our expansion program, along with consistent advertising, has developed a steady increase in sales which exceeds this same period last year by 7$0o/o," said Salesmanager Wiser.

Frank Curran is assisted in the executive management by Mr. Wiser and by Russ Caldwell, the veteran purchasing agent. Wiser started his lumber career 15 years ago and gained experience in all the vital departments including lumber handling, shipping and sales. He has been with the Curran organization the past eight years and makes his home in Costa Mesa with his wife and two children.

Pilot Plont Meeting Needs Of Porticle Boqrd Industry

The mounting technical needs of America's fast growing wood particle board industry are being met by capacity development work, at the modern, fully equipped, new particle board pilot plant at the laboratory of Timber Engineering Company, research affiliate of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, according to Carl A. Rishell, vice-president.

In 1955, there were only 26 plants producing particle board but, by the middle of 1957,60 plants were either producing boards, or under construction. Timber Engineering Company's particle board pilot plant is to help manufacturers improve their present boards, and aid future producers avoid costly errors in developing their own distinctive types of particle board.
