General Plywood Company

Aggressive in California

Huge quantities of Seattle-made Hardwood Panels are being consumed in the California market, panels manufactured by the well known General Plywood Company.

This company is successor to the Emerwood Panel & Top Company, and has as a subsidiary organization, the General Furniture Company, also at Seattle.

Mr, Ray C. Anderson, Vice President and General Manager of the General Plywood Company, has just returned to Seattle after a two weeks' visit at Los Angeles and San Francisco, and has just announced their new Southern California representatives, the California Panel & Veneer Company of Los Angeles. The H. B. Maris Panel Company has been selling their products in Northern California for some time.

They manufacture hardwood panels exclusively, from all of the largely used commercial domestic and imported hardrvoods, and Mr. Anderson states that there are no better panels made than theirs. They use an Alder core, superior, in his opinion, to other woods, it being very light and with a tendency to stay absolutely straight.
