Retaiter Tearned Business As Contractor

(Continued, lrom Page 4)

known and popularo San Diego retail lumber salesman. Walter Burrows, veteran operations man, is yard superintendent. He and Joe Scola have been with Art Uecker since he started Star Lumber Company more than seven years ago. They keep the cut-off saw in action eight hours daily to furnish cut-to-size stock for the drop'in uade. All lumber is sold by the lineal foot unless it is a job-site direct shipment for a housing development.

Such an organization needs a capable "Girl Friday." The duties of office admin' istration are in the efrcient hands of book' keeper Erma Newby. Erma keeps the boys straight in their figuring and assists in the huge volume of cash saleg. As the yard and office are open seven days a week this is no easy task.

On Saturday and Sunday the yard is converted to a self service operation. Berkot carts are available for customer use and a special cashiers check-out stand is main' tained at the main gate to offer the shopper fast service following selection of materials needed.

The streamlined, modern facility is situated on a 212 a$e site in the center of the downtown area of Spring Valley. Many of the customers are active in truck gardening, chicken raising and small farms. Re' gardless of their needs they are attracted to Star Lumber via various means of ad' vertisingn which i4clude radio, TV, direct mail and newspaper coverage. "We secure our best results through the classified copy in the various nev/spaPers and the yellow pages of the telephone book," said Tom Marshall. "Most of our clients are repeaters and our volume business is directed to us by our large community of satisfied cus' tomers,tt he continued.

Yes-Art Uecker is a successful and pro' gressive retail lumber yard operator-and f,e gained his tremendous knowledge at the coniractor level and thus he, and his stafi, know what they need and have it available at the proPer time.

Everything a homebuyer or homeow-ner need know about bathrooms is detaileil in the $1.95 book-from in'the'wall pipes to modern accessories which give each bath' room its own unique decor. One chapter is devoted to illustrated descriptions of all types of plumbing fixtures now on the mar' kei-watlr closeis, bathtubs, shower stalls,. lavatory basins, bidets, vanities and fixture fittings.

Floor plans are used to sugest possible fixture arrangements for compartmented baths, master suites, garden baths, child' ren's baths, retirement home bathg powder room, lavatories and vacation home baths.

Other topics covered in the book include: ideas for wlndows, how to carpet your bath' room, maintenance and repair, lightingt storage, plumbing systems and other struc' tural components,
