CENTRAL POINT AMERICAN VOLUMS X CENTRAL POINT. OREGON. THURSDAY, JUNK », l» ;is M u s i n g s ^ EXPORT OF FOREST PRODUCTS BIG ITEM TO WEST Join Wood Box Drive by an Innocent bystander JACK H. DOBBIN Sec'y-Mgr Natinal Worden Box Association Pacific 1).vision Over 60% of the income in Pacific Slope states is derived direct ly or indirectly from timber industries. Many municipal and county govenments are supported by tax revenue from standing timber and lumber manufacturers. The welfare of hundreds of communities is dpendent upon the wide-spread use of all timber products. Because of the physical properties of Ponderoia Pine, Idaho White Pine, Spruce, Hemlock and White Fir, i large proportion of the log must find its way into manufacturing channels utilising low grade lumber. If low grades are not consumed in sufficient volume and at profitable prices, sawmills suffer from inventory deterioration, unbalanced operations and eventually stagnation of earning power. Therefore, timber, capital and labor are conserved through adequate consumption of low grades. Manufacture of sawn wooden boxes is by far the greatest outlet for lower grades of lumber. Sawn box«* compete with lighter and cheaper substitutes in the canr.er.v package field, but, correctly design ed, th-y are recognized ns transporting canned goods with the least damage from dented cans, torn labels and puuctures. The excess IrHght due to th- heavier weight of wood calculated at 36c per 100 lbs. amounts to less thau one-tweutieth of a cent per can on the No. 1 Tall size. When 1000 wood* n cases are shipped p r car of canned goods It means that about 5,000 board fe<-t of lumber goes iuto their manu facture, adding approximately sal s of $120.00 to the lumber in dustry. It le estimated that at least 80% of this amount will find its way back to the local communities In which the lumber Is sawn and the cases manufactured. The upendlture of these additional amounts certainly results In an Increase of business well able to absorb the small difference in freight on canned goods when packed in wood. It is good business for both the employees of timber Indus tries and stores catering t0 their trade to insist upon shlpmmts of canned goods in wood. .... I It appeared yesterday morning that we had eujoyed a mighty short summer. U-r-r-r*! NUMBER I » Jackson County Gets Few Checks Salem.
