Eggers Elected To
Head Retired Group
Edwin Eggers was elected
president of the National As
sociation of Retired Civil Em
ployees as their meeting Fri
day. Other officers elected were
E. A. Albert, vice president;
Mrs. Lois Brent, secretary
treasurer; and Henry Ernst
and A. E. Hutchinson, execu
tive board members. 1
Clarence Williams and Eg
gers were elected delegates to
the state convention to be
held in Milwaukie April 13
and 14. Committees were also
appointed.
The district meeting of the
association to be held March
8 in Grants Pass was dis
cussed. Research, Development Plan Of Jeddeloh Firm Reviewed
work, Jeddeloh replied that,
"the whole progress of our
country refutes the theory
that machines throw men out
of work."
He explained that when
labor-saving machinery is
added to one plant operation,
room is found for employees
in other operations, or new
operations are created that
were impossible before.
Asked how much competi
tion he had in his field, Jed
deloh said that in most of the
company's machines "we en
joy almost a monopoly," and
added that the firm is dom
inating the market in a cou
ple of its products.
Made on Order
He pointed out that the
company manufacturers ma
trains from creating an in
ventory. He noted that the
company now has a belter
back-log of orders than it did
a year ago.
The addition of some of the
new machines, he said, such
as the veneer lathe, have
given the company two cate
gories of products. One is
labor-saving devices; and tho
other is machinery that is es
sential to the plywood indus
try. Two years ago the Jeddeloh

Additional expansion is
contemplated, Jeddeloh said,
as soon as the economy
straightens out.
Jeddeloh Brothers Sweed
Mills now provides manufac
turing and processing equip
ment for plywood companies
from central California to
Canada. Also, the company is
exploring market possibilities
on the east coast, and hopes
to make sales to that area be
fore the end of the year, ac
cording to Jeddeloh..
The only real motivation
for this expansion of prod
ucts and markets, Jeddeloh
said, is "the anticipation of
profits." '
Jeddeloh dwelt on the word
"profits" for a minute, and
said that in the last two de
cades the word has lost its
"ring of respectability." He
blamed "alien philosophies"
and "starry-eyed individuals"
for this.
Pursuit of Profits
Jeddeloh said he does not
subscribe to the philosophies
that would discredit the re
spectability of profits, and
added: "I believe that the
pursuit of profits is an honor
able thing."
He went on to say that,
"profits, or the anticipation
of profits, is what creates
prosperity, and sustains pros
perity," and "only through
profits can the standard of liv
ing be maintained or in
creased." Jeddeloh indicated that re
search and development have
actually become the key to
his company's progress. The
company is now "constantly
searching" for a vacuum in
the plywood industry which
Jeddeloh can fill with a new
machine to do something
easier, cheaper and more prof
itably. The need for efficient, time
saving machinery in the ply
wood industry only became
apparent during the Inst two
years. Prior to that time,
Jeddeloh said, there was a
boom in the plywood busi
ness, and all a company had
to do was produce without
any regard to efficiency.
Improved Methods
But, when the market lev
eled off and fell, plywood
manufacturers then became
aware of the need for im
proved production methods
and time-saving equipment as
a necessity if they were going
to continue to make any kind
of a profit at all, he said.
Jeddeloh Brothers saw tills
need at about the same time
as the plywood industry real
ized it, and they were there
to provide the new machin
ery. Questioned about whether
his labor-saving machinery
was throwing men out of
Brothers Sweed Mills com
pany in Gold Hill undertook
a crash program of research
and development. The pro
gram has paid off for the
company in diversified prod
ucts, increased prosperity and
a growing plant.
This was the essence of a
talk given Monday by Fred
Jeddeloh at the Chamber of
Commerce roundtable lunch
eon in the Jackson hotel.
Jeddeloh, one of the own
ers of the company, said six
new pieces of machinery were
developed during the pro
gram, most of which were de
signed to save the plywood
industry money and time.

unloader, a stack-turner, a

lathe.
Along with the new prod
ucts came enlargement of the
Gold Hill plant. In 1959, 10,
000 square feet of "floor area
was added, bringing to 24,000
square feet the total space
available in the plant for
manufacturing.
Employees Increase
Also, 1,500 square feel of
floor space was added for a
drafting and planning sec
tion. During this time the
number of employees in
creased from 35 or 40 to, to
day's total of 65.
