Efficient Chico Custom Drying And Milling Concern
Lumber Dryers Inc., whose ad appears elsewhere in this issue, was established on the site of the former Chico Army Air Base on January 15, 1948.
The company operates as a custom drying and milling establishment and is equipped to process complete mill cuts, sorting the stock over a green chain equipped with a dipping vat. There is a 25 acre yard for air drying commons and dry sheds with a capacity of 750,000' BM.
The dry kilns have a cairacity of. ll million feet per month and the planing mill a capacity of 2l million feet per month. The planing mill equipment consists of a Woods 6 x 3A-2 side surfacer, a 6 x 15 Yates American A 66 matcher, a 54" Mershon resaw and an Irvington Gang trimmer.
Milling in transit privileges have been established with both the Southern Pacific and Western Pacifib railroads. The Southern Pacific connecting with the Northwest Pacific permits in transit shipments as far north on the coast as Eureka and Arcata, Calif.
The dry kilns are of the most modern cross-circulation type with temperature and humidity control
For the convenience of customers a contract for the warehousing of lumber is in effect with the Douglas Guardian Warehouse Corporation and the insurance of stock is taken care of by a stock reporting policy with the U. S. Epperson Underwriting Company.
Lumber Dryers Inc. is a member of the Western Pine Association and has two certified graders in its employ.
Herb Fryer of the Fryer Dry Kiln Company, Carnation, Wash., is president of the company, and Peter W. Padgett is vice president and general manager.
