"Coast" Veneer and Plywood Men to Organize 



Definite steps have been taken by the veneer and 

 plywood manufacturers of the Pacific coast region to 

 organize an association, as the result of a meeting held 

 at the Hotel Tacoma, Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 22, at which 

 Thomas D. Perry, president of the National Plywood 

 Association and manager of the Grand Rapids Veneer 

 Works of Grand Rapids, Mich., delivered a lecture on 

 the plywood industry of the Middle West. The Western 

 manufacturers at this meeting appointed a committee 

 headed by J. B. Knapp of the Forest Products Com- 

 pany, Inc., of Portland, Ore., to develop plans for 

 organization. The members of the committee besides 

 the chairman are: S. A. Sizer, Raymond Veneer Com- 

 pany, Raymond, Wash. : C. W. .Schu, Columbia Box & 

 Veneer Company, Puyallup, Wash. ; Thomas Autzen, 

 Portland Manufacturing Company, Portland, Ore. 



It is anticipated that a general meeting of Pacific coast 

 veneer and plywood manufacturers will be held in Port- 

 land about the middle of November to consider the report 

 of the organization committee, and if favorable, to effect 

 a permanent organization. 



Paper from Veneer Waste 



In the w^ood v/aste from veneer factories the U. S. 

 Forest Products Laboratory sees considerable raw ma- 

 terial suitable for the manufacture of high grades of paper. 

 The cores of many kinds of veneer logs, now used in a 



large part for fuel, would make excellent pulpwood. In 

 addition, a large part of the clippings and small veneer 

 waste, which amount to one-fifth of the total veneer cut, 

 probably could be turned into pulp stock with profit. 

 Among the veneer woods w^hose w^aste has paper- 

 making possibilties are red gum, yellow poplar, cotton- 

 wood, birch, tupelo, basswood, and beech. Many veneer 

 factories cutting these species are already within shipping 

 distance of pulp mills. In certain other cases, veneer fac- 

 tories are so grouped that they might furnish pulpw^ood 

 enough to warrant the erection of a centrally-located mill. 

 Other economic factors being favorable, such a mill could 

 profitably operate on a daily supply of veneer waste 

 equivalent to fifty cords of ordinary pulpwood. Of 

 course, the construction of a mill should be undertaken 

 only upon the advice of a competent mill engineer after 

 a careful survey of local conditions. 



Veneer Company to Spend $500,000 



Five hundred thousand dollars will be invested by the 

 Diamond Veneer & Lumber Company of Shelbyville, 

 Ind., in the construction of two additional plants. The 

 present plant represents an investment of $125,000. 

 Announcement of the company's plans was made at a 

 meeting of the city council, in which the city was asked 

 to extend the w^ater mains to the plant, w^hich is con- 

 structed on the edge of the city and was only recently 

 completed.
