ll a marnage and partnershtp In the true sense

NIERV AND DORIS Kjer. the "Cedar -LYr King and Queen" of northern California, didn't com,e by that title the easy way. The genial husband-wife team that directs the destiny oI K/D Cedar Supply Co. is a marriage and partnership in the true sense. This rather rare combination in this age has produced, in a relatively short time, a wholesale distribution business that has exceeded their wildest dreams.

Currently in their seventh year of doing business at 22008 Meekland Avenue in Hayward, Merv and l)oris recently beefed up their undercover storage area with a 15.000 sq. ft. warehouse by Pole Buildings, Inc. of Modesto. Inventory rrow stored in that buildinq made room for the installation of a new Olympic Stainer.

Although the King and Queen title has been challenged a couple of times, the Kjers have fought back the only way they know. Offer quality material, a wider. range of services and make sure each order receives their individual attention.

Wide Deiivery Area

Today, K/D Cedar operates six trucks making deliveries from Paso Robles to Ukiah and east to the Reno-Tahoe ilrca. K/D Cedar's source of quality materials is McDonald Cedar Products, Lamford Cedar. Ltd.. B. C. Crossarm Co. and Crown-Zellerbach. Sales from these mills to K/D Cedar are throush Tumac Lumber Co., Inc., of Portlandl which operates the only lumber truck fleet licensed to op- erate ,between Canada and California. Interestingly enough, these "cedar trucks" often make the return haul to the Pacific Northwest fully loaded with redwood.

The Olympic Stainer recently installed by the Kjers will pre-stain any cedar pattern in 60 different tones-special colors available on request. Orders can generally be processed for delivery within one or two days.

In addition to a large inventory of cedar shakes and shingles, K/D Cedar is also a distributor of Shakertown "E-2" Ply Siding and cedar plywood from Shifton Plywood Corporation.

So if it's cedar that's on yottr tnind, call the "Cedar King or Queen." You'll be treated rovallv!

It's ocated deep in the jungles of Thailand. lt s rather inaccessible, since there's no subwaY or taxi; the easiest, most convenient way is overland by e ephant. Consequently, very few people ever vrsit this sawmill although from it comes some of the finest teak in the world. We know.

Your intrepid man from PenberthY has been there. and he wi be there again. To Thailand for teak, or Africa for af romosia, or even to headhunter country. He'll go anywhere , by e e phant or express, camel or caravan to find the best in hardwoods , . for you. And, we' I go anywhere (we l, al most anywhere... ) to deliver them to your door.
