Estacada Veneer Co. to Manufacture
Veneer at firm er M t. Hood Ply. Plant
Wednesday morning the Esta
cada Veneer Co.. successor to
the ill-fated Mt. Hood Harboard
& Plywood Co., started
taking
applications pending
eopening
of the plant sometime next week.
Applicants were on hand and as
we go to press more t’ in 50 ap
plications had been a eepted.Mr.
Bill Carson, plant manager, sta
ted that successful
applicants
will be notified as soon as all ap
plications have been processed.
The start of the plant will see
employment for about 20 men.
It is hoped that market condit
ions will justify a second shift
after the plant gets into full op
eration.
The Estacada Veneer Co. is a
new corporation formed to con
duct the plant operation.
Mr. Carson, plant head, comes
to Estacada Vcneei with a 27
year background of plywood ex
perience.
He has formerly
been with the old Vancouver
Plywood Corp. and its successor
Fort Vancouver Plywood. It Is
gratifying to see the selection of
this man with his experinece
guiding the operation.
Mr. Prentiss stated that an
ample log supply has been sec
ured. Sales arrangements have
also been completed to insure
the operation of the plant.
We join in the observations ol
the Kiwanis bulletin in “There
is little question of the impor
tance of this p'ant to Estacada
and the surrounding area. It
means we will have another bad
ly needed organization supplying
year around employment to a
considerable number of breao-
winners. This will be reflected
in many ways, the most obvious
of which is the circulation of
considerable
added
money
through local businesses.”
