lumber dealers
"shop" for you
When a farmer in iowa decided to btiHd a new barn, he goes to several retail
lumber dealers with a list of needed supplies and asks for prices. The lumber
dealers, knowing they are in competition for the farmer's business, call several
wholesalers asking for the lowest poersbl prices on the qualities required. The
wholesalers in turn may call several sawmills for their prices and best delivery
schedule. This constant bargaining is' bow lumber prices are eetablishexi from
day to day, month to month, year to year..
Competition in the building industry k keen. There are 83,000 tawmillt in
America; 6,000 wholesaler and 26,000 retail lumber dtalers! In addition there are
thousands of producers of materials that can be substituted for lumber. No
sawmill or group of mills Controls a big enough share of the national production '
to control prices. These are set, as described above, by the competitive buying
among manufacturers and distributors. '
Weyerhaeuser makes every effort to win and keep Customers by quality
products, competitive prices and good service. In this way we try to establish
permanent markets for our products in order to keep our mills in steady production.- -
