It requires just six men to operate the new equipment and everything is done automatiially.

Plans are being completed at this time to open a sales warehouse in San Bernardino to handle distribution in the "Kite" and Imperial Valley trade territory, including Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

_ {ey_personnel in this vast distributing operation includes Rudi Lohrey in the San Fernando Vall-ey, Perry Freeman and Bob Allen in Los Angeles, and Leo Cann, superintendent of the flush door plant.

At the meeting sponsored by the National Association of Home Builderi and the United Industrv Committee held in Washington last month, Jack Carlow- learned that the women of America want more dramatic doors, in particu- lar more drama in front doors. The outcome of suc-h information means that Carlow Company now stocks more than 50 dif_erent types of front doorq intluding the beautiful all new Nordco "Riviera."

He also listened intently to the various ideas of the selected women attending the meeting and came up with the definite knowledge that wider front doors are^ desirable, and his firm is presently working on such an idea of improvement to turn out bigger front doors.

Jack Carlow is active in the Southern California Door Institute. As counsel for this association he initiated a peti- tion to the railroad companies, which has been docketed, to equalize port absorbtions, milling-in-transit and overland common .point rebates at Los Angeles harbor as opposed to conditions now occurring at Longview, Washington.

-He is always alert _to oppbrtunity and changes irr"the field of wood products distribution. Under the guidance aud management of Bob and Jack Carlow, The Carlow Cornpany has shown a steady, firm growth.
