Gqldor Lumber Sold to Winton ln Deql lnvolving $I Vz Million
John Rosenberry, general manager of Winton Lumber Sales Co., Sacramento, announces the purchase of Caldor Lumber Company, pioneer E,ldorado county sawmill installation, on June 1 in a transaction involving approximately $11 million. The Winton firm, which also operates a large sawmill at Martell, will operate the newly purchased mill as Winton Lumber Company, Diamond Springs Division.
John Malmquist, a Winton employee for the past 30 years and in recent years production superintendent at Martell, will head the new operation as general manag'er. Assisting Malmquist will be J. J. Becker, office manager and plant superintendent and formerly assistant office manager at Martell, and Warren Carleton, Martell forester who will now head the woods operation of the Diamond Springs mill.
Both Rosenberry and Glenn Butler, salesmanager of the Winton Sacramento office, note that certain other key personnel from Martell will be moved to the Diamond Springs Division in order to insure consistent quality and operation between the two mills.
The Caldor purchase also included a shipment of approximately 600,000 feet of Philippine mahogany logs which Winton is currently processing at the Diamond Springs plant. Prior to the sale, Caldor had been one of three sawmills in the U. S. experimenting with the manufacture of mahogany from logs shipped from the Philippines.
