Wood lrame lor steel windows,

T. V. Walker & Son of Burbank, subdistributors of Lupton metal windows for the Blue Diamond Corporation, 'Los Angeles, are manufacturing a wood frame for residential casements.

Ed Sylvis, who is a builder of substantial homes, designed this method of installing residential casements, which lend themselves to wood trim for any style of architecture. For fastening venetian blinds, shades or draperies, the wood frame forms a solid base for attachments. The width of the jamb permits clearance between window handles and venetian blinds and shades.

Moves to New Office

Greenlee Lumber Co., which has a pine mill near Nevada City, Calif., moved its Los Angeles office to 4230 Bandini Boulevard, Los Angeles 23, the last week of August.

The plant equipment and k"y personnel have been transferred to the new location at 650 Central Avenue, Richmond Shipyard Four. Approximately 23,000 feet of floor space were resurfaced and the plant and equipment laid out for straight line production. Additional woodworking equipment and trucking facilities were added and the present capacity is 600 R-O-W units per day. Approximately 20 men will be employed. Walter Foster, former sales manager of Rocky Mount Mfg. Co., will head the new plant.

California Builders Supply Co. will continue to distribute the R-O-W Window Units through their authorized retail lumber dealers in Northern California and will add Nevada to the territory served.

R-O-W Windows are complete units-prefitted and weather-stripped. The sash, which slide in adjustable, spring-tensioned metal guides, are removable and lift out easily so that the outside of the window can be cleaned or painted inside the house. The window cannot be removed when it is locked.

R-O-W Window Units have become increasingly popular all over the country since their introduction in 1939. fn a recent survey of building material sales during 1948, it was reported that l0/o of all the windows installed in new buildings during the year were R-O-W units. 'Ihis new plant, the most recent addition to the rapidly growing Richmond industrial area, will manufacture a complete range of California sizes. Mf. Foster reports that the plant will soon be in full production, with trucks leaving every other day to meet the increasing demand of the lumber dealers.

Pine lumber was the nation's first building material.
