Broadway Lumber of Sonoma Celebrates Return from Ashes

Broadway Lumber Company, 20065 Broadway, Sonoma, celebrated the ofifrcial opening of its brand-new store with a grand opening on June 23. Owners Kirk and Wayne Wirick were on hand and all smiles to greet hundreds of friends and customers who dropped by to congratulate both father and son on the complete rebuilding of the yard.

Broadway Lumber Company was totally destroyed by fire on August 5, 1961, with the exception of one truck and the accounts receivable ledger. Even as Kirk and Wayne Wirick surveyed the ruins, local businessmen and friends began rolling up their sleeves to help clear wreckage and get the yard back in operating condition. All of the other.yards in the area (Parson's Lumber, Boyes Springs, Vern, Don and Bob Parsons; Farrells Sonoma Mill & Lumber, Dale and Ed Farrell; Mission Lumber Co., Sonoma, Byron and Dominic Peart) chipped in to help, lending equipment and even materials to get the operation rolling again. The Wiricks responded with gratitude and elbow grease. The business was continued as nearly normal as possible and volume held up surprisingly well.

In addition to the new store and office, Kirk and Wayne Wirick's immediate future plans include the construction of a new 24' x ffi pole and beam warehouse, and a24 x 8CX covered (Conttnueil on Page 43)

Altogether, he was with the Lounsberry & Harris organization lor 23 years, the latter several years as manager of the company's yard at San Fernando Road and Fletcher, Los Angeles.

Later, Wirick managed the Bakersfield yard of Hayward Lumber & Investment Co. for two years. He was then appointed superviior of yards, a position he held until 1953, when he moved north to manage Vallejo Lumber Company for Glen Harrington. Wirick pirrciased Broadway Luilrber Company from Les Mulford during 1958, at which time he proudly sisned "Kirk and Wayne Wirick-Partn-ers" to the ag'reement.

San Francisco Changes Building Code For All-Redwood Plywood

On the basis of its quality, structural rigidity and treatment with a clear water repellent sealer, a new, all-redwood plywood is being used for diaphram wall construction for the first time in San Francisco as a result of a major code revision approved by the city's Bureau of Building Inspection.

Through the efforts of San Francisco architect Max R. Garcia, A.I.A., and representatives of Simpson Timber Company, the city building officials were convinced and made code revisions allowing Ruf-sawn, a new Simpson all-redwood plywood with a roughtextured surface, to be used as a shear and finish covering.

"Application of ftrt-16ick Ruf-sawn will eliminate one complete operation of labor and material." said architect

Garcia. "Previously we had to use a ft"-thick plywood sheathing or insulating sheathing underneath the finish siding material."

Garcia has specified Ruf-sawn on several custom houses on Red Rock Hill in the neq' Diamond Heights redevelopment area of San Francisco. The first structure is a $55,000, threestory residence being built for Dr. and I\{rs. Allan M. Unger by contractor Ralph Goldenberg.

Redwood plywood now can be used in all types of San Francisco construction for homes, apartment buildings, small commercial structures, €tc,, except certain areas where vr'ood siding still is not permitted.

Ruf-sawn, introduced last fall bv Simpson, is available in widths of.l|i,

3V' and 48', lengths of &, I and, lA and full thicknesses ol 3/8r,, fil and s/g". Matching clear all-heart roughsawn lt'x 3" redwood battens are available for board and batten application.

This all-redwood plywood was designed for application directly to studs, without sheathing, up to 24' on center in the f" and /st' thicknesses; and up to l0'on center in the /6" thickness.
