Sales manager of the new firm is Jim Gill, who, for the past six years, has been lurnber buyer for the Wickes Corporation in Medford, Oregon. Prior to his asso' ciation with Wickes, Gill spent six years in the sales department of the Long-Bell Division of International Paper Company. Following his graduation from Iowa State University in 1950, Gill spent two years with the J. Neils Lumber Company where he acquired his mill experience.
According to Ward, the company is purchasing in large quantities now and expects to have its basic inventories in stock by December l. The inventory will include virtually all forest products ranging from kiln dried dimension to building specialty products.
Giant Warehouse
The Spokane warehouse is 600 feet long and 200 feet wide. Three sets of railroad tracks run the length of the building to provide maximum efficiency in loading and unloading materials. The very latest materials handling equipment is used throughout the operation.
Highly sophisticated communications equipment for processing orders and for continuing inventory control operates between the warehouse and the headquarters of the firm at 7001 Seaview Avenue N.W. ir.r lSeattle.
The stock-in-trade of the new company will be speed of delivery. With its ability to put a badly mixed car together quickly, this company will have great value to the individual lumber yard in two important ways. First, the yard will no longer have to carry top-heavy inventories in its own yard because it will be able to fill its needs quickly. Secondly, it will no longer have to place its orders far in advance because most orders can be filled and shipped as soon as they are received.
