Softwood lumber prices will show a steady increase in the next several years according to an economic report on softwood lumher issued recently by Bank of America. San Francisco.

In a special review and outlook compiled by the bank's Economics l)epartment. {our general {actors are listed as being responsi' ble for a probable long-tcrm increase in log and lumber prices in the West.

First, says the report, stumpage cost will show a probable rise as the stands of readily accessible, merchantable timber are re' duced. Also, as the readily accessible stands are reduced, logging costs will increase because of the necessity of cutting in more re' mote and difficult areas. and of taking smaller logs.

Although negotiations with Canada have increased recently, British Columbia imports will continue to increase over the next twenty years. Alaskan timber, however, will be consumed largely for pulp and paper manufacture.

Lumber used for residential construction, including additions, replacements and alterations, probably will increase. Use of timber in non-residential construction, however, probably will decrease, the report predicts.

Many home modernizers have organized their businesses along the lines of a o'onestop" remodeling contract center to eliminate the many complexities involved. And home-owners know they can work on their own to get bids to piovide construction, plumbing and wiring, and financing and design help. The Add-a-room program fits the "one-stop" plan by providing everything to the dealer in one package.
