Buena Park Lumber & the lceland Market

f'here's mur.h commcnt now about the lumber husiness being slow in southern California, but with a little initiatir.e. there is business to lre had. At least that's what retailt'r Jim \elson of Buena Park Lumber Comptrny sa1.s when he talks about his shipmcnt of [,am-Loc Pecky Cedar to an automobile dealership in far ofi Iceland.

It seems the president of BitreidarLandhunadarvelar ducked down to southern California to gt:t away from the midnight sun, and rvhile here. went over to see how the lumber business is run at this cnd of the pole. Appart'ntl1-. he took off his earmuff-* lsng errough for a sales pitch lr1'

Jim Nt'lson who has part of his own olfict, paneled with tht' cedar. It became obvious that thr. wood would create a nice warm feeling up in the land whcrc the polar nights last all day.

A{ter some quick calculations, it was determincd that I 100/ of paneling would be required i.o provide a snug setting. Be. fore you could say Bitreidar-Landbunadar-

JIM an automobile dealership a more attractive place to purchase the new machine. lt may wreck the dog sled market, but that's progress velar, the dcal was concluded. The shipment went from l;os Aneeles to Nen' York l,y r.ril ulr,'r',, it *rr pi,k,'.1 up l,y tht, Icelandic Steamship line.

Jim is now r:alculating the futurc potential in Iceland, "With flame proofing to mect the local code" there should be plenty of isloos which could be made more decorative and benefit hy thc insulating characteristics of wood."
