Pressure Treated Tent Poles Outlast South Sea Baset

Bert Brycrn Honored by Los Angeles

Wholesale Hcrdwood Distributors

Bert E. Bryan, Strable Hardwood Co., Oakland, was guest of honor at a luncheon at the Jonathan Club, Los Angeles, September 5, attended by members of the Pacific Coast Wholesale Hardr,l'ood Distributors Association, of which organization he is president.

Representatives were present from the following firms: Atlas Lu,mber Co., Bohnhoff Lumber Co., W. E. Cooper Lumber Co., Owens-Parks Lumber Co., E. J. Stanton & Son, Tropical & Western Lumber Co., IJ. S. Plywood Corp., and Western Hardwood Lumber Co.

Wolmanized tent poles, octagonal-shaped, are sholvu stacked for drying after treatment at a Southern woodpreserving plant. More than a million feet of the poles were pressure treated for Navy advance base shelters iri the South Pacific, where termites, molds and fungi are constant enemies of wood and canvas.

According to a Navy spokesman South Sea termites can riddle an ordinary tent polt in a few weeks, but with pressure treatment which drives chemicals deep into wood fibers, tent poles will outlast South Sea lsland bases.
