California Builders Supply Co. To Distribute Olympic Products in Northern Calilornia

In accordance rvith the policy of the Califorr-ria Builder:s Supply Co. to be most selective in lines distributed out of their Oakland, Sacramento and Fresno plants, the company is now distributing OLYMPIC products throughout the i\orthern California are3, according to Mr. Kenneth J. Shipp, president and orvner.

"We are sure that our many Northern California lumber dealer friends 'w'ill welcome our handling this popular, fine-quality line of pre-stained shakes and roofing shingles, as well as their nerv, improved line of stains," said Mr. Shipp. "These products have enjoyed wide acceptance and use all over the country and their manufacturer, the lMest Coast Stained Shingle Company, Seattle, has consistently follorved the policy of selling only through established retail lumber dealer outlets," continued Mr. Shipp. This policy rvill now become effective in all sales of OLYMPIC products in California.

It rvas further pointed out that pre-stained shake sidewalls are becoming more and more popular rvith builders in the area, because of their distinctive appearance, economy and ease of installation. This type of sideu'all construction is used on the most expensive homes as r,vell as on lor'ver cost homes for veterans, rvhere cost of construction has to be held do.ivn to a minimum. The fact that sidewalls of OLYMPIC Perfect-Fits are available ir-r five soft, pastel colors, is a particular inducement to builders who seek a variance in the appearance of homes of similar construction in the same grouping-so that they will not have the "block" appearance.

Ample stocks of O.T,Y\[PIC products r,vill be kept on hand to provrde prompt delivery to dealers in all three of the California Builders Supply Co. plants, it was said. Shipments to dealers in mixed-car lots can also be made

Included in the complete line of pre-stained shingle sidewalls are the popular OLYMPIC Perfect-Fits (grooved texture), OLYMPIC Duo-Walls (plain surface) and three varities of pre-stained Handsplit Shakes. All are available in the following soft, subdued pastel colors: Chamois, Beachwood, Seafoam, White Primer and Russet. For roofs, the line includes pre-stained OLYMPIC Tri-Laps (plain surface) and three varities of Handsplits. These are available in the following five rich colors: Navajo, \\rillorv, Mahogany, Holly and Ebony.

All OLYMPIC sidewall and roof shingles are thoroughly impregnated with OLYMPIC Stain, which has been expressly formulated for these woods from pure pigments, finely ground in pure linseed oil. It is said that OLYMPIC Stains are ideal for all other wood surfaces, as well, as they penetrate the wood, bring out its natural beauty and provide lasting protection. The stains contain a special preservative-TOXAL (Pentachlorophenol)-which prevents rot and decay, curling and splitting. It is practically colorless and contains no creosote.

The California Builders Supply Co., now the Northern California distributor for these products, was founded in 1927 and has been under the supervision and ownership of Kenneth J. Shipp since that time. Other administrati'i'e officers are : Edmund F. Cardin, Jr., vice-president; Parker A11en, secretary-treasurer; and Frank L. Gregor, sales manager. Leo P. Rider is manager of the Oakland warehouse; Walter Olmstead is manager of the Fresno 'ivarehouse; and Arthur D. Williamson is manager of the Sacramento warehouse. Administrative offices are at the Oakland plant.
