Chas. R. McCormick Visits Company Interests in the Northwest

Mr. Chas. R. McCormick, President of the lVlcCormick Lumber and Steamship interests, arrived in San Francisco recently after a short visit to the Company's camps, mills and other interests in the states of Washington and Oregon.

Mr. McCormick visited Seattle and while there inspected the Company's logging camps and saw mills on Puget Sound, a great many of which are closing up for the Christmas festivities, as well as on account of a severe spell of cold weather recently experienced in that section of the country.

While on the Columbia River, Mr. McCormick attended the opening of the new $2,500,000 St. Helens Pulp & Paper Mills situated at St. Helens, Oregon, an event which strikes a very important note in the industrial life of that section of the country.

The St. Helens Pulp & Paper lllills are affiliated rvith the McCormick interests and are one of the most modern plants of their kind in this country. Most of the machinery is of the very latest type and these enormous mills have a capacity of 50 tons of craft paper daily and are arranged in such a manner that another unit may be added at any time in order to further increase production.

Paper turned out by this great plant will be made from saw mill waste; the latter being supplied by the McCormick Company's mills on the Columbia River.

. Questioned as to the general trend of events in the lumber world on this coast. Mr. McCormick stated that although a large volume of lumber had been manufactured and turned out by the mills of the Northwest daring 1926, this had been accomplished during a period in the history of lumbering operations when prices were much lorver than favorable to the trade, with the consequence that the profits were very small. As to 1927, he stated that lumbermen in the Northwest are anticipating better prices and more satisfactory conditions in the industry during the coming year.

ESSCO Californiawhite Pine

A famous trade'fiJd,tk on d, new product

FfrI{P fame of the name

I ESSCO wap established in connection with Southern Pine and it also is appearing on California White Pine. This wood, because of its superior working surface, strength and durability was selected by the Forest Lumber Company in its expansion to the West Coast as worthy to bear the ESSCO trademark. This company is oneof the group composing the Exchange Sawmills Sales Company which has been manufacturing and selling pine lumber for nearly half a cenhrry.

The particularly fine qualities of ESSCO trade-marked California White Pine are due in part to the fact that it grows at a high altitudeand amid ideal climatic conditions giving it a fine-grain, satiny surface, and in part to tho care and exactness with which it is manufactured.

The timber comes from the country around Pine Ridge, Ore., wherein is located the modern plant for its manufacture. Present stocks include in addition to the factory grades such items as beveled siding (identified with the ESSCO green label) satiny, soft-texture finish, mouldings and wide clears, lath and pickets. Special or unusualitems can be manufactured as desired.

NEW"TERMS'' POSTER OFFERED ' ASSOCIATION MEMBERS

Every lumberman agrees that the best way of making prompt collections is to have a definite agreement in advance as to the time of payment. The difficulty is that when a salesman sets his heart on selling a retail bill of lumber, he is very reluctant to mention terms of payment to the customer before getting the order signed up.

The California Retail Lumbermen's Association has furnished to each of its members a large "Terms" poster printed on a sheet 17x22 inches in size. It is meant to be posted in the retail lumber office and in the yard so that every customer will see it and understand the credit policy of the company. The poster reads as follows:

TERI\4S Alt

Purchases Due lOth Of Month

Fo[owing Purchare.

There wilt Be No Deviation from Ttresc Tetrns Except by Special te in Writing Before Delivery of Materids.

This suggestion came from the Hansen Lumber Company at Fontana, one of the members of the Association. Additional copies can'be procured through J. E. Fraser, Secretary, California Retail Lumbermen's Association, ll2 Market Street, San Francisco.
