'W'm. Smith Co. fnstalls New Kilns and Sheds at Their San Francisco Yard
The Wm. Smith Company, of San Francisco, .ha completed the installation of two ne.rv dry kilns and stor-age shecls, this pr,ogressive lur.nber company is now able to offer its customers an excellent service.
Two of the latest type of Cutler progressive kilns are in fu,ll operation and have a capacity of 500,000 board feet per month. The company has excellent facilities for loading, the lumber coming from the kilns can be either transferred direct from the kiln trrrcks to cars for shipment bv rpil or run into the sheds, thus eliminiating unnecessaryl handling. In conjunction with their kilns, they maintain a kiln test roorl, and by close observation of the kiln records accurate drying is assured and very little waste is lost through checking.
Adjoining the dry kilns, are the sheds for storage purposes where a large stock is always carried, which means quick shipments at short notice. The sheds are 775tx75.', have concrete floors, and a storage capacity of abo,ut a million feet. Tracks running through the center of the ,sheds makes loadi,ng in car-load lots very convenient.
In addition to the above improlements, the company is now constructing a new yard at Oakland, which will be located at the foot of 19th, Avenue. The present Oakland yard is located at 1st and Clay Streets.
The Wm. Smith Company, of which Wm. Smith of San Francisco,, is preside,nt carry on a large business throughout California. They also maintain an office and yard at Los Angeles, from which point they look after their"southern California business. /
