Vacation Home Market

Good at New Location

S5DUSINESS IS better than ever', is the D report from Clear Lake Lumber, who last year completed a move across the street to a new three and a half acre home in Clear Lake Highlands, Calif. Long-time lumberman Charles Conlin is manaeer at the store.

Matching the booming vacation homebuilding industry in the icenic Clear Lake area, management went all out last year, erecting a new 16,000 sq. ft. combination store and warehouse, a modern all steel structure that is completely air conditioned.

Because a good many second home projects are weekend family t'workouts"" the yard is exceptionally *eil geared to service this trade. Management attempts to quote and get the complete package-many times even the tools to build it with!

Originally one of the old Hammond Lumber Co. yards, Clear Lake was purchased by Hank Bailey when he took over the firm following the sale of Hammond to Georgia-Pacific. Both manager Conlin and Bailey are old Hammond disciples" Conlin coming to the Clear Lake yard in 1947.
