Earlier this summer. another 85' car. loaded in two units, had been shipped to Branson-Brewer Lumber Co., a San Lorenzo, Calif. retailer. The current shortage of cars brought about the adaptation, railroad spokesmen said.

Advantages to retailers in the new method are a fast unloading time of 20 minutes, plus the lumber packages being fully intact on arrival. The car had lengthened stringers, and lateral stabilizers with the load set on cross pieces for fork lift unloading.

A 60'car is generally considered a large car and they have only been in service for several years. Mostly, 40'and 50'cars are used.

AFPC Releoses Eornings

Release of first half sales and earnings results and a third quarter dividend oI 254 per share have been announced by American Forest Products Corporation.

Net earnings for the period ending June 30 were $I,298,505, or $1.24 a share, up 70 percent from $769,833, or an adjusted $.73, in the year earlier period. The per share net is adjusted for a 2 percent stock dividend distributed December, 1965.

Sales in the first six months were $51,238,367, an increase of 10.3 percent over the fi46,465,265 reported in the comparable 1965 period.

The quarterly dividend is payatrle September 15 to shareholders of r,ecord Ausust 31. This is the 3rd quarrerly dividenJ ot the 4oth consecutive year of dividend payments to American Forest Products Corporation's shareholders who now number 1085; outstanding shares total 1,051,00I.

President C. T. Gray points out that the net income per share is the ,highest in any like period since AFPC's peak year of 1959. Much of this he attributes to the earlv vear high demand for lumber and wood prbduct, precipitated by heavy government buying and hedge purchasing against the possibility of now-averted work stoppages.

While 'both demand and prices have subsequently receded, Gray states prospects for the year's second half sales warrant optimism and that total results Ior 1966 should favorably surpass the 1965 performance and that of immediate preceding years.
