The very first panels were made at St. Johns, Oregon, and exhibited at Portland's Lewis & Clark Exposition, in June of 1905. This year, 110 plants—from Bellingham. Washington, to Sonoma, California-w ill produce over 4 ' j billion square feet of plywood . . . enough to make a 4 x 8-foot stack 740 miles high. V. F. W.

This year, payrolls alone will exceed $76,000,000. Every home, every business, and every public service benefits. BAZAAR An average of 500 freight cars loaded with fir plywood leave the Pacific Northwest every day. For fir plywood, produced only in this area, is sold everyw here-through all the nation’s 32,000 retail lumber dealers. I t ’s used to build millions of useful things: homes and highway signs . . . boats and built-ins . . . concrete forms and cabinets . . . freight cars and factories . . . toys and trucks . . . farm buildings and furniture. The list is long —and growing longer. To keep it growing is the fundam ental purpose of the fir plywood industry’s trade promotion program. Research is a keystone in this ceaseless effort. Research th a t develops new products. . . new uses. .. new m arkets . . . new and better ways to fully utilize the great poten tial of Oregon's timber resources. It bids well for the future. The result will be an even greater boost to the state’s prosperity. $1.50 PLATE . . 7 5 « PLATE PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION I Y 0 *0 fcï -1 Other millions will be spent for equipment, supplies, services.
