Redwood P:cket-Pack Fences Available Soon

Redwood Picket-Pack fences, a new effort by the California Redwood industry to meet a growing demand for modern merchandising of lumber products, will be available to every California lumber dealer by the end of January.

Fences are definitely in fashion, both in new home construct:on and improvement of older properties, but merchandising of fence material has been handicapped in the past by the inability of the buyer to visualize his product in a simple, understandable picture.

The new Redwood Picket-Pack brings simplicity to the desire for attractive home decoration. The consumer will no longer be required to reduce his needs from the per thousand board feet unit to lineal feet. Redwood PicketPack does that job for him, with 30 pickets to a pack, enough to build 10 lineal feet of fencing.

Redwood Picket-Packs are available in three point styles, Pointop, Beveltop, and Squaretop. Included in each pack will be instruction inserts, giving full information for the correct method of building the fence, together with suggested'combinations of the different point styles. Already more than 100 designs are Possible

The small size of the package and its ease of stacking requires littlg space for a sufficient stbck in lumber yards. P'cket-Packs may be ordered with any shipment of redrvood lumber.

Pacific coast paint concerns have been invited by the California Redwood Association to participate irr^ the mar' keting plan for Redwood Picket-Pick. Keen ihterest has already been shown by several of the major _co-mpalies .in preparing attractive displays of decorative finish for the riew Redwood fences.

Calaveras Expansion Program

In line with the outlook for increased demand for cement on the Pacific Coast durin g 1937, Calaveras Cement Company starts out the year with a plant expansion program involving the expenditure of more than $250,000.

Details of the improvements and additions that are now being installed at the company's San Andreas plant rvere given out by William Wallace Mein, president. and are as follows:

Cottrell precipitator to eliminate the dust nttisance at the plant.

A new grindrng unit for finished cement procluction. A Smidth dense chain system for the No' 2 kiln rvhich u,ill permit important fuel economies. The same installation has already been made in No. 1 kiln and has proven highly successful.

During 1936 the company built a 6-mile haulage road connecting the plant with the high grade lime quarry; purchased a 75 B type shovel; and installed Hummer screens in the raw mills which have effected increased production capacity for that department.

Upon the completion of the new units Calaveras rvill have greatly increased plant capacity, improved operating efficiency with a resulting rednction in production costs, and will be in a position to deliver in any amounts its new Pumicite cement r,vhich rvas recently introduced on the California market, in addition to its ordinary cement plastic and white cement products. This Pumicite cement is a high standard portlan d-puzzolan cement which in some parts of Europe sells at a premium over other cements.
