Wholesalers of West Coast Forest Products

Southern Wholesqle lumber Assn. Merged Into Nqtionol-Americon

fn a move to strengthen the wholesalers'voice nationally and at the same time bring about a closer relationship among wholesalers in all sections o{ North America, the Southern Wholesale Lumber Association merged with the

National-American Wholesale Lumber Association effective July 1, 1960.

Robert F. Darrah, executive vice-president of SWLA, will become southern regional managir of N-AWLA with offices in the McMillan Bank building, Livingston, Ala.

.In th-e- preliminary stages of the discussi6ns, j. Ward Allen-N-AWLA president at the time, said:

"Although wholesalers are located in all corners of the nation, we have many mutual interests and are faced with identical problems. We feel there has developed an even closer liaison between- each geographic area duiing the past few_years_ because of the inteidependence of sp*ecies and m-arkets. In short, the members of the wholesale segment of the lumber industry are in no way strangers and,"while being competitors, they have muctr- in common and unquestionably should be united for the benefit of all concerned."

The directors of both associations have foreseen the need for grea-ter, united strength for promoting and protecting the welfare of the wholesale lumber indusrrv.

The merger will make available all National-American services and benefits to SWLA members who, at the same time, retain the advantage of a regional oflice managed by a capable executive, which, in turn, provides closer contact with wholesalers in the southern area for National-American, said John J. Mulrooney, executive vice-president.
