"More than a Quarter-Centurg Experi,ence Marketing Westem Forest Products" progressed. In fact, they became so enthused about the project that they pointed out features of the new structure to all interested visitors-and these numbered more than a few as word passed around among local building circles.
Those who have inspected the facilities have commented on how amazingly straight and clean-looking the poles appear. However, it is well established that poles with these characteristics are readily available for pole-type construction.
The warehouse walls are of high-density overlaid plywood using stainless steel nails obtained on an experimental basis.
The air-conditioned, well-appointed office area is one large showroom which highlights the various uses to which plywood and other wood products can be put. Wall partitions within the office are constructed of two sheets ol plywood glued to corrugated paperboard, thus providing insulation and support.
Poles and sills were pressure-treated with a 5% solution of pe_ntachlorophenol to a retention of 8 lbs. per'cubic foot (0.4 lbs. of dry chemical).
Now that the warehouse has been completed and put into use, it appears that the structure will reajize all hopes foreseen for it. Overall construction cost was lower thin all expectations. The contractor, carpenters. and laborers found the building easy to construct. All indications are that it will be relatively.maintenance-free and will have a life span equal to comparable buildings of other type construction.
The building provides a showcase of lumber and forest products, an important facet to an organization like LoneBell. It is pleasing to the eye and trighty efficient for th"e purpose for which it was designed-the warehousing of lumber, plywood and other wood products for distribu-tion to retail outlets in the Kansas City area.
What more could anyone ask of a building?
