Curtailment of the variety of
lines and styles of implements will
substantially reduce the amounts
of inventories and the number of
types of raw materials which the
manufacturers of forks, hoes, and
rakes are obliged to carry in their
stockrooms at the present time. Sim
plification of types and designs will
also relieve jobbers and dealers of
the necessity of carrying duplicate
lines of many items. Turnover of
victory toots should be accelerated,
as a result of the elimination of
slow-moving lines.
Polishing Omitted

While the process and facilities
used are not particularly new, their
application to large-scale produc
tion of a by-product of Douglas

out. Industrial development in the
Pacific northwest would provide an
almost unlimited ou.let for such
