New Store in Van Nuys

As rvill be seen by the accompanying photograpl-rs, Nei-1 man-Reed Lumber Co., did a good job of putting up a new, store and office building at their yard at 13301 Burl;ank Blvd., Van Nuys. :

The exterior is redu'ood, u,ith u.ide, attractive wind<.rn's, trimmed in u,hite. The upper right photo shows partner Robert Neiman in his Parana pine panelled offrce. Loll'er left is a vierv of the bright and rnodern store, where everything is on display for the customer's convenience. Iiere may be found the amateur carpenters of the district, brorvsing happily along with the experienced builders. This loom is panelled in knottl' pine, u'ith ceiling of con.rbed gumu'ood squares.

Center right is a vie,n' of the lumber shed, .ivith a good variety of lumber on display in separate bins, all marked for price. Lou''er right is the handy panel rack just outside the side entrance to the store building, right on the .ivay to tl-re lur.nber shed in the yard, a sure stop-over for nearly cvery customer.

Another feature of this modern 1'ard is the Lumber Iratio. a section of the yard devotecl to samples of the various 'l'r'oods available, the samples all fastened on the rvall of the patio for easy viewing.

Five hundred people attended the three-day grand r-,;rening of the nerv building on June 2O,21 and22.

Robert Reed is the other partner in the business, and Ed Goldsmith is retail manager. The tr,vo partners served in the Marine Corps together in the South Pacific during \Arorld War Trvo, returning to buy' the yard in 1948.

Everything is designed in the modern manner to shou' the materials sold in the yard to the best advantage, so the customer may see how the finished product will look.

The company is primarily a lvholesale concern, handling pine lumber, fir and pine plr.n.ood, crating lumber, etc. covering mostly the industrial trade, including motion picture studios, etc.

The retail end of the business is conducted quite separately from the l,vholesale, the retail store handling many items not handled by the 'ivholesale end.
