New Sacramento Warehouse of Georgia-Pacific Assures Fast Delivery to Wide Area

Dealers and customers of GeorgiaPacific Corporation in the Greater Sacramento area now have a convenient, new source of supply in G-P's brandnew 30,000 sq. ft. warehouse at 320 Commerce Circle. North Sacramento. Managed by Max Thomas, the new warehouse is under the general super- vision of E. L. "Rif" Rifenrath of G-P's Oakland warehouse.

The modern new Sacramento installation is fully sprinklered and was designed by architect Sooky Lee of Sacramento. The builder was Peterson & Associates, also of Sacramento.

Occupying some 80,000 sq. ft. of property just a block off the Roseville Freeway, the warehouse is of clear span design and the yard is completely black-topped. A sunken fivecar spur and roof over the unloading area provides all-weather unloading, including protection from the blistering Valley sun during the Summer months. Customer loading area is more than adequate to assure easy access and fast loading. Modern handling methods for materials and a product display room featuring the full line of G-P products completes the picture of Georgia-Pacific's newest California warehouse.

Complete Line Handled

A complete line of G-P quality building materials is now in stock, including: G-P fir plywood, G-P family proof paneling, G-P textured plyrvood, G-P imported plywoods, G-P Filon, G-P marine plywood, G-P hardwood plywood, GPX overlaid plywood, G-P hardboards, G-P doors, G-P cottage prefinished paneling, G-P particle board, and redwood from the company's mills at Samoa.

The new warehouse will serve G-P customers in an area from Modesto to Redding and from Vacaville to lleno. Regular truck deliveries are being made to all points in this territory. Brian Eggiman is currently handling outside sales, Ralph Heath is holding down the fort on the order desk, and Walt Hoeffner is coordinating sales with the warehouse operation.

Who Needs Wood?

(Continued from Page 38) should stand its ground and not yield to substitutes. This is more easily said than done. The truth of the matter is that the larger manufacturers of light metals and chemicals have so enlarged their productive capacities that they are spending huge iums in re.e"r.h, in advertising, in product development, to irrtroduce their products, particularly in the building field, where marly segments of the wood products industries are being threatened. Unfortunately, most of the large companies, such as the aluminum, chemical and steel industries, look upon these new potential markets as plus markets and they can afford and do spend sums far in excess of their potential profits in these particular items or certainly more than most of the companies engaged in the manufacture of millwork, doors, windows, siding, sheating, insulation, to name only a few markets that are being threatened.

IJntil recently, very little was being done to combat the inroads that materials comoetitive to wood were making. A few of the larger companies manufacturing lumber, plywood, flooring, do spend fairly substantial sums on research and product development, on advertising, particularly ir.r the shelter magazines and occasionally in the mass consumer magazines but only a few.

But, no one in our industry does a r.rational job on any sustained basis on tl.rat most important medium-Tv. By contrast, all of the larger aluminurn companies have had sustained programs on TV which go to audiences of many rnillions and cost accordingly. \'Vhat clo they airn at in their commercials? Usually those markets now being served by'ivood, particularly siding ancl boats.

I am proud, as a member of the ply.,r'ood irrdustry and as a supporting member of the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. to tell vou that that Association is sponsoring a weekly television program-"The David Brinkley Journaf"-;1nd that the first 26 weekly programs rvas initiated just tlvo evenings ago. This is a national hook-up lvhich for the first time in the historv of any wood products industries, the merits and attributes of wood products are being effectively presented to the public in this expensive and effective medium. Dial Channel 4 on Mrednesdays at 10:30.

About two and one half years ago, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association embarked on a progranl called-"The National Wood Promotion Program"-which is receiving increased support among all of the segments of the industry and rvhich promises a gratifying expansion in the acceptance and use of lumber and wood products. While stressing the value of rvood in the building field-other fields, such as furniture, have also been covered in this intelligent and well-planned campaign with an annual budget of approximately 2 million dollars.

Who needs wood, gentlemen?

Everyone-r,r'ith its supply assured -and a vigorous, promotion-minded hard selling group of industries to tell America of its values, everyone shall have it, in whatever forms it can best serve mankind.

PALCO Plans Marketing of New Redwood Bark Product

The Pacific Lumber Company has announced plans to market a totally new redwood bark product for use in playgrounds and recreation areas and parks. The product is specially processed redwood bark, which achieves an unusually permanent, resilient and shock resistant ground cover requiring minimum maintenance.

Initial applications of the new redwood bark product in playground and recreation areas in San Francisco and Oakland have resulted in encouraging prospects for broad use of the material as a soft, springy, shock absorbing ground cover under apparatus, on walk ways and in play areas. The redwood bark's inherent physical characteristics make it far superior to previously used granular barks. When used in play and traffic areas, redwood bark does not kick around like granular barks. Because its fibrous texture forms all almost continuous mat, it does not blow away-a problem common where sand is used.

Redwood bark offers important advantages when used in landscaping. As a mulch, it helps retain moisture, reducing costs for watering, and helps to assure successful growth even in areas with dif6cult access for maintenance. Decorativelv. redwood bark offers arr exciting cblor and texture that harmonizes with plantings, achieves a pleasing effect even in newly landscaped areas. In parks, along divided roads and streets, and in containers, redwood bark offers proven utility as a means for altering soil-airlvater relationships, lowering soil bulk density and improving friability.

Cost of the new material is reported to be "competitive with conventional bark products," with an average 4 inch deep installation running about 8 cents per square foot. Because of the storage, handling and working convenience of tightly compressed bale packaging, the redwood bark helps keep initial costs low. Actual placing on the job is done with simple hand tools, precluding the costly use of heavier ecluiprnent required for handling bulk competitive products.

Other features of The Pacific Lumber Company's new redwood bark are its inherent ruggedness and durability. The bark does not become water logged and soggy in rainstorms, it dries quickly when wet, and is impervious tb rot and decay. Because of its natural resiliency and fibrous characteristics, redwood bark will not become compacted and lose its spring and softness. It does not leach out and will not stain hands or clothing. It is odorless when wet or ory.

The redwood bark is available commercially in tightly compressed bales weighing approximately 105 pounds. At a 4 inch thickness, coverage per bale is approximately 48 square feet. It will also be packaged in bags containing 3 cubic feet.

For information on availability, write The Pacific Lumber Company, By-Products Division, 100 Bush Street, San Francisco 4, California.

L.A. Trode-Tech Students Begin Gonstruclion on Model Home

Construction is now under way on the student-built Los Angeles 'frade-Technical College Model Home f.or 1962, it lvas annollnced this week by officials of the college.

Scheduled for comoletion earlv next vear. the model is being built on the cimpus, 400 W. Washingion Blvd., by students of the building project classes.

Conceivecl under the Balanced Power concept, the fifth annual Trade-Tech home will reflect the best utilization of both modern natural gas and electricity, guaranteeing that each household task will be done by the energy source that handles it most efficiently, most conveniently and at lowest cost.

School officials noted that this will be the largest TradeTech hotrse to date, covering 1,497 square feet of space. It will include three bedrooms, two baths, a combination dining and entry area, living room, all-gas built-in kitchen, and an all-purpose family room.

One unique feature of this year's dwelling is the separation of the living room from the rest of the house by means of a floating deck floor in the combination dining-entry room and a lattice work screen that will shield the diningentry and living rooms from rest of the house.

A pool running partially underneath the deck and a skylight overhead will give the entry-dining area a feeling of coolness and spaciousness, while still maintaining the indoor-outdoor atmosphere. Still another feature, a sheet metal free-form fireplace in the living room, combines with
