son gerreral manager of the business, and Mr. "Pick" Maule, one of the most popular millwork men in Southern California who had been with Pacific since 1925, r,r'as made production manager. And they went ahead to operate the millwork plant, aiming to create for it a place in the mill picture as a useful and dependable service station for doors, windows, and millwork, not only for the Los Angeles territory but for the national trade as well. So well have they succeeded that at the end of four years of ownership a CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT visitor recently found the place a beehive of well directed industry and activity; a splendid institution running in great style and doing a wonderful and continually growing business'

This monster mill is now devoted to the production of stock doors, sash, windows, and millwork, which they distribute exclusively through jobbers and dealers. While their products are used chiefly in Southern California, yet they likewise enjoy a splendid trade in Arizona, and in addition have built up a growing trade throughout the United States. As an example, they shipped 40 full carloads of materials last year to the Metropolitan New York City district, where they are represented by one of the best known millwork men in the country, George Evans, of Evans-MacArthur Company. Their eastern trade is growing steadily as the reputation of their distinctive quality products spreads.

, The manufacture of windows has become their biggest business. While the mill has a daily capacity of one thousand doors, the building trends of the past several years bringing the Monterey and other similar types of home construction into prominence, has created a tremendously increased window business, which has been a wonderful thing for Pacific.

The plant has been kept absolutely up to date. While most of the equipment originally installed is still of the most modern and efficient character, yet the new owners realized that even such a plant as this must keep up with the march of time. For that reason they have purchased and installed new and additional machinery of the latest and most scientific character, various of these units costing many thousands of dollars each. This has kept the plant as definitely up to date as it was when first constructed.

The waste problem is met by manufacturing box shook, mouldings, and plate stock. Last year they shipped 30 cars of Sugar Pine box shook, and also made a considerable volume of small mouldings out of their waste. One of their
