Hardwood Lumber

"We are finding a good field for sales of Palco Redwood Bark Fibre through the lumber dealer," said Edric E. Brown, in charge of the by-products division of The Pacific Lumber Company, San Fran,cisco, to a representative of this paper. "Redwood Bark is being used extensively for cold storage construction, and we have supplied this material for the insulation of many houses in the California valleys. The houses have been insulated above the ceilings, and it has been found that the temperature has been reduced as a result from 10 to 16 degrees. In cold storage work Redwood Bark is used in cases where the temperature is maintained around 20 degrees below zero."
