v Immediately following World War II, Weyerhaeuser
Timber Company resumed its plant expansion pro
gram which was designed to bring about better
utilization of forest crops grown on company tree
farms. Hw money to do this resulted from our
shareholders' willingness to leave a large share of
company earnings in the business.
This money has gone into new pulp, plywood,
lumber and other manufacturing facilities. Much
. has. been spent in research and development . . .
improving tree growing methods, developing new
products and processing plants, improving produc
tion efficiency and securing broader markets.
This program has resulted in many new jobs
and more employees. The figures below show a
brief comparison of the company's position today
with that of 5 years ago. This progress reflects
our primary objective ... to build, a permanent
forest industry in the Pacific ftortnwest which,
will contribute its full share to national, state and
community welfare.
You may be interested in reading our special
report dealing with research and development in
the fields of forestry, products and engineering. Free
