4230 Bqndini Boulevqrd, Los Angeles 23, Colif. WHOLESALE ONIY grown fantastically to save the lumber industry there. Reno Odlin, president of Puget Sound National Bank of Tacoma, Washington, and the financier of many plywood plants summed up the purpose of the NPDA cor-rvention as well as the underlying objective of the association.

He observed, "There must be a smooth, intelligently operated distribution system to move 100 million feet of fir plywood a week. I am confident that, nnder effective, dynamic leadership and with progressive individual action, the nation's plywood distributors u'ill maintain their position as vital in plywood sales."

Plywood Scroll of Honor

The National Plywood Distributors Association, in ob- servance of the fir plywood Golden Anniversary. has selected the three outstanding salesmen of the first half century of the industry r,vhich had its origin in 1905. They are: Don L. Davis, Sr., of Chicago; W. E. Difford of Tacoma and the late Lawrence Ottinger of Ner'v York. Names of the three men are to be engraved on a bronze plaque placed by the association in the Forestrv building in Portland, beside the plyrvood shrine dedicated there in June during the Plywood Jubilee.

The alvard brings to plyrvood merchandising an honor considered equal to baseball's hall of fame, the Oscars arvarded motion picture stars, and similar acclaim in otl'rer areas for singular accomplishment and leadership.

Davis has built a chain of six distribution u'arehouses, helped found the distributors association, was the organi- zation's first president and has aggressively and inspirationally merchandised plywood for nearly 50 years. Ottinger was a courageous and visionary business man who since World War I created the world's greatest plywood producing-selling company, United States Plywood Corp. The award was accepted by William H. Hunt, vice-president of the company. Difford is the managing director of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, the fir plywood manufacturers' promotion organizatioh that staged the spectacular Golden Jubilee celebration at Portland. His great contribution to plyll'ood advancement has been that of creating and directing an industry-supported advertising program that has spearheaded six-fold expansion of the industry since 1938.
