Retail Lumber Dealers Handling Greater Quantity of Materials

Retail building supply dealers are handling a consiclerably greater quantity of materials than they did a clecacle ago, C. B. Sweet, president of the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association, states.

"Analysis of the recent Census of Business shows that the nmount of materials distributed through retail yards in 1948 was 58 per cent greater than in 1939, after allowing for the increase in materials prices between the two census years," Mr. Sweet said.

"Actual sales of all reporting dealers totalled g5.13 billion in 1948 as compared with only 91.48 billion in 1939.

"The number of employees ein retail yards increased 56 per cent, despite greater efficiency in materials handling and ir.nproved management methods, because dealers have been performing numerous additional services for customers.

"New services which dealers were not generally offering at the time of the earlier census include precutting of materials, pre-assembly of building parts and of small structures, packaging and strapping of materials, and aid to customers in the planning and financing of their building projects.

"The number of retail materials dealers reportecl by the census increased only 4 per cent, from 25,067 to 26,128. Sales volume per dealer averaged $196,600 in 1948. The number of employees increased from 138,957 to 2l6,ffi2.

"The sizeable increase in the quantity of materials distributed through retail yards is attributed to the fact that dealers are stocking more kinds and types of building products ancl related items and to the high level of residential and farm construction during the last few years.

"The greater efficiency in materials handling, which would have been reflected in at saving in manpower requirements except for the additional services being performecl, has iesulte<l from the growing use of mechanized and time-saving equipment such as fork lift trucks, straddle trucks, and gravity conveyors.

"The average number of employees per retail yard increased from 5.6 in 1939 to 8.3 in 1948, and average sales per employee rose from $10,640 to 923,650."

Reports Good Seed Year In Douglas Fir Forests

A bountiful seed year is in the traking in the vast Douglas fir forests of Washington and Oregon, according to W. D. Hagenstein, forester engineer for the forest conservation committee of the Pacific Northwest Forest Industries. Tiny; inch-long green cones now thickly cover hundreds of millions of trees throughout the region. They will grow and ripen during tlre summer.

Conditions are ideal, Hagenstein said, for excellent reseeding during the coming fall when the cones ripen. Loggers burned lots of slash last fall and large areas of forest stubble are ready for natural seeding.

"'We have one big worry today," the forester said. "Only fires, caused by man's carelessness, can spoil this potentially fine seed year. Iivery. user of our forests should be on the alert [o prevent fires and should observe every possible precaution all summer long."

"Nature will plentifully reseed tens of thousands of acres this fall," the forest leader. pointed out. "All man has to do is to protect these naturally seeded forests while sun and rain and the good earth grow more crops of usable wood."

\f. R. Chamberlin a Co. Inaugurates New Vessel in Pacific Coastwise Lumber Trade

W. R. Charnberlin & Co. has announced the inaugttration of a new vessel, the "MS C-TRADER," they expect u'ill enter their Pacific Coastwise "Packaged Lumber" trade augmenting the service which has been performed for the last year by their converted LSM "C-COASTER."

The vessel is 269'-10" overall in length, has a 42'-6" beam. Main propulsion machinery will consist of a Cooper-Bessemer 1300 hp. 2-cycle direct drive Diesel engine, which will give the slrip a speed of approximately I0l knots. Auxiliary power rvill consist of trvo Budda Diesel engines turning Crocker Wheeler Co. 115 V DC generators for ship's use and tu'o General Motors G628A Diesel engines turning Westinghouse 440 V 60-cycle AC generators, the latter of which rvill supply climination of further stowage of lumber products into wings or trunlis ; ancl instead of the hatch being rnerely a transfer point for cargo, the hatcl-r itself becomes the stowage area of the cargo.

The vessel is presently at Horne Brothers Shipyard, Newport News, Va., undergoing classification work. Upon completion of this work the vessel will proceed to the Pacific Coast for the installation of a new type cargo gear'

The neu' cargo gear will consist of two self-contained full revolving, hyclraulically powered, high speed level-luffing kingpost type cranes, designed especially for the "C-TRADER" by Colby Steel & Nlanufacturing, Inc., of Seattle, Washington' power for the operation of cargo gear. In addition, the vessel is equipped with a 40 KW generator connected with main drive shaft, which generator has sufficient capacity to supply the entire needs of the vessel while she is under way, enabling other generators to be shut down for maintenance purposes. The vessel will lift approximately 1,800,000 board feet of lumber per voyage and will maintain a complement of tlventy-seven rnen. ln addition, the vessel will be equipped with every modertr device for safety of personnel and cargo, including an RCA's ship-to-shore telephone and a Westinghouse type MU radar.

It is conten-rplatecl by use of these two cranes a full cargo can be loaded in approximately twenty hours and discharged in approximately fourteen hours.

In operation, all rnotions of the cranes will be simple and positive in action, with the hoist, rotate and luffrng motions actuated by two conveniently positioned control levers. Mover.nent at the cargo hook will .correspond directly to the motion and direction irnparted to the control levers. Inherent characteristics of the \ricl<ers'hydraulic equipment will prevent undue overloacling of the cranes.

Power limiting <levices.will prevent extreme rates of accelelation, and u'ill effectively keep maximum power demands on the sltip's generators within designed limits.

The power rrnit on each crane is driven by a marine type, continuous ratecl squirrel cage electric motor manufactured by \\'estinghouse Electric Corporation.

The capacity of each crane varies from 10,000 lbs' at 50 r.naximum radius to 20,000 lbs. at 12'minimum radius, with a hoist speecl varying from 50 FPM at full load to 150 FPI\'{ rvith no loa<l. The boom can be luffed from maxirnum to minimum radius in approximately 18 seconds.

The vessel was designated by the U. S. Maritirne Con-unission as an N3-M-A1 and is described briefly as being a singleender; that iS, house and machinery aft and three hatches forward. The hatches, because of their extremely large size readily lend themselves to the stowage of "Packaged Lumber." They are 5l'-2" long and, 3l'-6' wide; each hold in the ship is 56. long and 40' wide. As can be seen, therefore, the dimensions of the hatches and the holds are so close they allow the

It is believed the "C-TRADER" is the first vessel flying the American flag ever to be outfitted with this type of cargo hanclling cranes.
