Reedley Mon Solves Problem

Earl Ruth of Reedley Lumber Company had a problem to solve.

He had a surplus of window area in his store which could better be used for provocative wall displays. Instead of taking the easy way and simply boarding up the windows with siding, Ruth decided on a "frontal attack" solution.

Ruth called in the town's leading stonemason and had him fill in the window with flagstone, creating a decorative look for the exterior and giving Ruth much needed wall display space on the inside.

Not content with completely revamping the entire store, Ruth expanded his storage capacity with a new shed. The building is of pole frame construction and incorporates storage space along the sides of the structure.

Reedley Lumber also operates an unfinished furniture shop which is separate from the main showroom and located next to the shed.
