Unitized Pockoges of Plywood Now Offered by Voncouyer Plywood Mills

Unitized packages of plywood with a uniform number of pieces for each thickness are now being assembled by four Pacific Northwest sheathing mills represented by Vancouver Plywood Co., announces David Difford, sales manager.

The mills supplying unitized bundles are Hub City Plywood Corp., Three Sisters Plywood, Inc., White City Plywood Co. and Port Plywood Company.

Each unit is pre-counted so that inventory can be easily controlled, according to Difford. Units are easier to handle, both in and out of the warehouse and in unloading cars, since they all weigh approximately 24OO pounds, and the units allow for level loading of cars.

Charts showing exact number of pieces per unit, com- puted for each of five sheathing panel thicknesses, are available from Vanply, Vancouver, Wash.
