Pattern and fnhh; green in both Red,utood. and. or dry Pine be done at the new Inland mill, and red and white shavings are being separated. fn announcing advantages of the new mill for Southern California retail lumberyards, President Thomson poi,nted out that retail yards which are not at a railhead, and not having spur facilities, should enjoy substantial freight savings by utilizing Inland mill facilities.

The 1000-ft. spur which serves Inland is avaiiable for all mill customers, enabling lumbermen to order in quantity and have delivery of lumber as desired, milled to the proper pattern.

Stressing volume production, prompt service and competitive prices, Thomson said the new Inland mill is a concrete indication of the enthusiastic acceptance by retail lumbermen in the area of other Inland services and facilities.

The entire Inland plant will gradually be moved to the new site, although the planing mill is the only operation there at present, Thomson said.
