Storoge-in-Tronsit Yqrd qt Folmouth Open to Lumber Mills ond Wholesqlers

A former retail lumber yard, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, is now being opened as a storage-in-transit yard and warehouse by its owner, Clarence Bolt, under the name of Forest Products Storage & Woodwork Co., of Falmouth, Michigan. Bolt indicates there will be sufficient rvarehouse space to store from 25-30 cars of lumber in fully enclosed sheds (for kiln-dried selects, uppers and other shed items). 100 or more cars can be stored outside.

As a result of a new transit tarifi effective June 15, cars of lumber can now be shipped from the west coast or diverted at transit points to go through the Mackinaw gateway to the Pennsylvania Railroad for shipment to Falmouth, Michigan, for storage in transit. From there, they can be reloaded and shipped without additional freight charges to points south and east or almost any point on the blanket $1.3O rate of freight.

While the lumber is in storage, Forest Products Sales of Grand Rapids, an associated company, offers its services to the mills and wholesalers in selling their lumber. Forest Products Storage & Woodwork Co., says Bolt, is also interested in specifications on various kinds of contract woodworking on a milling-in-transit basis.

It is hoped by Mr. Bolt that this service will filI a real need in the lumber industry. It has so many different possibilities of application that any suggestion for extended service will be very vt'elcome. For further details, rvrite direct to Forest Products Storage & Woodwork Co. at 1967 Godfrey Ave. 5.14r., Grand Rapids 9, Michigan.
