The picture shown above of the plant of the West Coast Screen Company at 1145 East 63rd Street, Los Angeles illustrates graphically the splendid growth of this concern, manufacturers of the well-known Hollywood Combination Screen and Metal Sash Door, for the frontage of the factory is now 212 feet as against the 42 feet frontage of the original building, The present building goes back 145 feet, and the total space occupied is a little over 30,000 square feet.

The owner and founder of this business, Francis G. Hanson, is evidently a believer in the advice attributed to Henry Ford that the way to make a success of manufacturing is to make something that the public needs and then go ahead and tell the world about it, for he has done this very thing in making and promoting the sale of the Hollywood Door.

Mr. Hanson started in a small way in 1923, and the plant now employs between 80 and 100 men. Some of the employees have been on the job since the start and more than 20 of them have been there 10 years.

O. W. Wright is general manager. Fred Johnsen is credit manager. Mr. Hanson's two daughters, Florence and Ruth, assist him in the office.

Roy Uthe, plant superintendent, has been with the company since the start, 15 years, and so has T. W. Saunders, sales manager of the retail department.

Leo Kleinheinz is foreman of the day shift, and E. A. Snow is foreman of the night crew.

I'et Us Quote You ([)1---

The plant has operated two shifts for the past two and a half years, an enviable record for this period.

Recent improvements include the installation of a Grinnell Sprinkler system throughout, some new machinery, remodeling of the office, and the installatio,n of a nerv vault for the books and records.

Now just a short description of the firm's principal product, the Hollywood Door, which they proudly call the "Aristocrat of screen and metal sash doors."

It is constructed of the best Sugar Pine with either Ponderosa Pine or Fir panels, moisture-proofed against the weather. The screen section may be had with either 14 or 16 galvanized or copper screen. The pullman type sash, of aluminum lacquered coldrolled steel, is equipped with weather stripping and moves in a galvanized track with eight adjustable positions, affording safety, ventilation and health protection in all weather. Sash may be instantly removed for cleaning without damage to screen or finish. It is burglar proof and locks into position. The galvanized metal guides prevent sash from rattling, binding or sticking.

All Hollywood Door screen sections are made from screen cloth manufactured by Pacific Wire Products Company, Los Angeles.

The Hollywood Door is sold through sash and door and lumber dealers, and each year has shown a steady advance in the volume of sales over an ever widening sales territory.
