San Francisco Concern to Market Port Orford Cedar Panels

Panel to be used in connection with high grade Port Orford Cedar interior finish and trim, Homer Maris and

To meet the demand for a Veneered Port Orford Cedar states that this new .product is a long-felt want as here. tofore they had to supply these panels in solid lumber, rvhich was not only expensive but very unsatisfactory. Port Orford Cedar grows in a very restricted habitat, the only location that it is found growing in the United States is in Coos and Curry Counties, Oregon. Owing to its arcmatic qualities, it is adapted for such uses as linen closets as it keeps out the moths. The wood is ideal for panels, taking an excellent finish and is especially adapted for white enamels and paints. It will not warp or shrink, is everlasting in all locations, and has the color and grain of ivory. This is the first time that Veneered Port Orford Panels have been offered to the trade in California-

The Coos Veneer & Box Co., at Marshfidd, Oregon, are the manufacturers of this product. Benj. Osland, president of this concern, has followed lumber manufacturing in the Northwest for a number of years- About four years ago he started the manufacture of cedar separator stock for batteries. He has equippd his mill with modern machanery and is now in shape to manufacture a strictly high class Port Orford Cedar Panel. He is equippcd to menofacture 3, 5, or 7-ply up to 2l-ply stock for all purposes.

All panels are made with Casco water-proof glue.

Mr. Maris says that they have started an extensive canpaign to market the new Cedar Panels in the Northcrn California market. They are sending a small sample of their 3-Ply Cedar Panel stock, &inch by 3 and one-half inch, to all architects, planing mills, cabinet shops, and schools in the Northern California scction, which is accompanied by literature describing the excellent qualities of Port Orford Cedar.
