Resnprest Adaptable to Modern Trends
A Strearnlined Service Station
The construction of 40 buildings to be undertaken immediately is announced by J. E. Windle of West Coast Stations, Inc. The first three, a grocery store, service station, and real estate office have been completed. All exteriors of the three buildings are of Resnprest, phenol formaldehyde resin bonded plywood perfected by the M and M Woodworking Company, Portland, Oregon. Three-eighths inch Resnprest is used on

all sides and faces with one-eighth inch on all rounded corners. The one-eighth inch panels are backed with lath spaced four inches apart. This backing increases the strength of the corners and provides a surface flush with the three-eighths inch thick plywood, which when calked and painted results in invisible joints. "Resnprest is one of the most satisfactory building materials we've ever used," comments Mr. Windle. "It works up smoothly and quickly, very economically, and cuts building costs considerably." All forty buildings will be constructed with it, according to Mr. Windle. "The Resnprest bond is phenol formaldehyde resin which in its solid form is familiar to all, as it is commonly used for light switches, insulators, knife handles, pipe stems, etc.," explains M. Pasquire, consulting engineer for M and M Woodworking Company. "As specifically adapted to the manufacture of laminated wood," he points out, "the resin is fused into the cells of wood by the heat and pressure of the hot plate process, welding the wood veneers into an inseparable unit. This Resnprest bond defies the disintegrating forces of heat and cold, acid and solvent, wind and weather, time and tide. Furthermore, it

and sailing craft. This outstanding designer is furnishing the M and M Woodworking Company plans for a racing outboard motor boat, a 15 ft. 6 inch sail and auxiliary motor boat and a 9 foot 6 inch dinghy which the company are making available to all amateur boat builders.
Foster & Kleiser Company, outdoor advertising firm, are modernizing their Oregon structures with Resnprest. Streamlined bulletins for the Multnomah Hotel are now on display and new designs for the First National Bank of Portland are nearing completion, according to Walter Marquis, Portland branch superintendent.
Yates Aircraft Company is using it widely in airplane construction. Recent designs specify Resnprest in all bulkheads, many of the stiffening members, and in wing frame construction. "Resnprest is a strong light material that gives extremely rigid construction and is not affected by vibration," reports Mr. Yates after thorough tests on this all-weather, all-purpose building material.
