Worehouse on Wheels Plqn

Cali{ornia Pacific Sales Corp., the Bay Area wholesale division of Cal-Pacific Redwood Company who also represent other mills in Oregon and northern California, recently announced plans for marketing diversified wood products. This program has appropriately been called "Operation Warehouse on Wheels."

Basically, this plan is designed for the retail dealer who finds it difficult to purchase straight loads of old growth redwood. Under this marketing program of oowarehouse on Wheels," dealers can buy LCL et carload prices by combining redwood and fir, redwood and pine, redwood and plywood, or redwood and particleboard. Other possible combinations are: pre-finished hardwood panels with K.D. pine or fir, and flakeboard underlayment with Douglas fir plvwood and K.D. sugar pine.

From the Redwood mill in Arcata, CalPac's Dick Harmer explained that this program was planned as a result of the drastic reduction of available mortgage money and the resulting reduction of housing starts. Harmer stated, ooNaturally, we want to sell straight loads of redwoodo but must be flexible. Redwood, the exotic specie for special applications, normally sells in smaller quantities. We feel this program will assist our customers in maintaining a more balanced inventory of all wood products and enable them to adjust their buying to meet anticipated sales for a shorter period of time.

Labor Department officials in Washington have expressed their interest in helping the lumber dealer in the area of training, Sneddon said. "They have given us examples of many small businessmen who have found the government-assisted projects of great benefit. It is obvious more and more small businessmen are taking advantage of the training law. People are trained in the plant where the employer can enforce his own special policies and working conditions. We have been shown a list of lurnber manufacturers who have trained workers for their operations. The list of building material dealers who have used this program is infinitesimally small, however. It would be in order to say any new program oI asslstance lor a Dulldrng material dealer in traininq. workers certainly'meiits his atteniion.;

"Our sales office is now eguipped to give excellent service on diversified products and we anticipate adjusting our sales program to meet the needs of our customers." Harmer concluded.

Bill, who started in the wholesale lumber business for himself in 1959, will be joined by Margaret Potter, one time Hobbs Wall Lumber Co. secretary.
