E. K. \(/ood Sells \(/holesale Dock at Long Beach

E. K. Wood Lumber Company has sold its wholesale dock, and all the equipment, at Outer }Iarbor, Long Beach, Calif. The dock was opened in 1939. Before moving to this location, the company operated a wholesale dock at San Pedro for forty years.

The Long Beach dock occupied an area of fifteen acres, had an all-paved floor, and was strictly a wholesale operation for receiving, sorting, distributing and storing lumber for the wholesale trade and their own retail yards. 20,000,000 feet of lumber a month could be handled easily over the dock. There were four buildings in the yard, office, small sawmill, shed for dry lumber and a garage-machine shop. Equipment in the sawmill included resawing, ripping and cut-ofi saws. The lumber shed had a capacity of a quarter million feet of dry stock, and the garage- machine shop was used for upkeep and maintenance of equipment. The gantry crane was capable of loading a million feet of lumber in eight hours.

J. A. (Al) Privett, Los Angeles manager, states that all business will now be handled through their main yard at 4710 South Alameda Street, Los Angeles, and incoming lumber will be received by rail.
