A Danger Point In The Community . . .
What does the Chamber of Commerce mean
to y
The average man on the street might think a
r >ment, and then reply, ’’Why, that’s the bunch that
is out to promote the community.” The average bus-
in -man might reply, “Well1 they are trying to pro-
m< the community, and maybe trying to bring new
industry into town.”

They are interested in seeing a road over from

that travelers can stop and find out what is being done

HAM DINNER
A short 50 years ago, there was no fir plywood industry.
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.

F ir plywood is big business in Oregon. 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.
