lnlond Lumber Gompany Opens Los Angeles Soles Office

Stark Sowers, sales manager of Inland Lumber Company, Bloomington, announces that his firm has opened a sales office in. Los Angeles to serve the dealer trade in metropolitan Los Angeles and the Harbor area. Ken Schinidtke has been assigned as manager of the new location at 443 West 111th Street, where teletype service has been installed offering direct connections with all Inland purchasing offices.

Ken Schmidtke (left) has a complete education in lumber production and sales. During his school years he spent his summer vacations with his father's logging operation in eastern Oregon on the important j"b of "Whistle Punk." During World War II he was superintendent of logging in the Tillamook and Lane county areas in Oregon. Following this experience he became purchasing agent for National Wholesalers Association as buyer of lumber for members in the Northwest. He later handled sales in the San Francisco Bay area, San Joaquin Valley, Salinas Valley and Southern California prior to joining Inland Lumber earlier this year. Ken has spent all of his life in logging, sawmill operations and all phases of sales and distribution.

"We are thoroughly convinced our Los Angeles sales office will filI a definite need to the dealer trade throughout the greater industrial district," said Stark Sowers, "and we shall rnaintain this location for the purpose of offering fast, convenient service to the dealer trade."

Ship Plonk Specificotions Modified

A tentative revision to the specification covering White Oak Ship Plank has been developed, according to an announcement by Colonel Cad M. Sciple, acting district engineer and engineer lumber control officer of the U. S. Army Engineer District, St. Louis. The specifications were relaxed on several important {eatures including sapwood restrictions, surface checks, wane, knot, knot holes, and worm holes. Alfhough the overall specification was relaxed, the Department of the Navy still requires dry White Oak Ship Plank. Further, the tentative revisions in the specifications should permit production of material from logs presently available without the serious effect on the usability on the item produced. It is expected that the revised specification will permit wider participation by industry.

The revisibn resulted fiom a'coordinited study in the problem of obtaining suitable material for this purpose. Because of the many-desirable characteristics of White Oak Ship Plank, this species is suitable for many uses. It is particularly desirable for boat and ship construction due to its nign stiength, the natural decay resistence of the heartwood, and its impenetrability to liquids. Papt purchasing experience has revealed a decreasing interest on the P?fl.of industry in bidding on Government requirements in White Oak Ship Plank due to the rigid specifications ?!d a ready market fbr this species for other purposes. In addition, timber stands from which logs that will produce the quality of material specified are becoming increasingly scarce.

A streamer 12x 18" done in holly green and holiday red is now available to any store asking for it. It reads: "Give a Ladder for Christmas" and can be effectively displayed wherever ladders are sold.

Top Industry Firms Joining i;l{ome lmprovement Council

., The board of directors of the new Home Improvement Council has met for the first time and gave enthusiastic -approval to plans for a dynamic 1958 promotion plan. Highlights of the program, presented by Board Chairman Fred C. Hecht and Executive Director Don Moore, are:

L A $125,000 "self-inventory" contest for homeowners in the first half of the year, through which 600,000 families are expected to submit a checklist of their home improvement needs.

2. A "perf.ormance" contest in the final half of the year, with entiants submitting actual home improvemegt p-rojr ects to be judged on tlieir herits-again for $125,000 in prizes.

Local-level participation in the Home Improvement Council's massive 1958 program will result in more sales, more profits and a multitude of other direot and indirect benefits, said Don Moore, HIC executive director.

"Bigger sales and bigger profits are reason enough for most alert businessmen to become active HIC participants," he said, "but there are others . . . the satisfaction, for example, of providing a needed Service for the homeowner, of helping arrest the deterioration of homes and' cities, of bulwarking the economy in general."

For dealers, contractors, lendeis, utilities,'builders and others at the community let'el, the cost of participating is actually less than the cost of HIC's services and promotion materials to help members make the most of the Council program. Local participants will be sent several packages of display, point-of-purchase and advertising materials at no additional charge. Only Council supporters will be permitted to use the HIC seal, which will be widely promoted as the emblem identifying business establishments as the source of counsel and -helpful service for homeowners.
