Dealers Cash in on Septic Tank Sales

"Palco Sectional Septic Tanks and Palco Disposal Drain are gaining a decidedly worth while recognition from many Government agencies," said Max E. Cook, director of sales promotion for The Pacific Lumber Company, San Francisco, recently.

Lumber dealers in the territories concerned have to date supplied over 60O Palco Septic Tanks in varying capacities up to 4,000 gallons to the U. S. Forest Service and National Park Service alone, Mr. Cook said.

A number of these tanks are notv in service on Midrvay Island, having been specified by Army Engineers for the Air Base there.

Tanks are being installed in increasing numbers in Alaska, one installation being as far north as St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Straits, where there is a 3,00O gallon Palco tank serving a nurses' quarters and dispensary in the U. S. Indian Service.

One of the most recent sales of Palco Septic Tanks is that of two straight carloads for the Indian re-settlement project in the Los Angeles watershed in the Owens River Valley, Calif., where some 800 Indians are being moved from sub-marginal lands.

The fact that The Pacific Lumber Company increased its septic tank sales 38 per cent in 1939 over the previous rec- ord year is a good i.ndication of the substantial opportunity that exists for lumber dealers to develop some very profitable business in this heretofore neglected field.
