First Annual
BUYERS' GUIDE &
DEALER DIRECTORY
Is Off The Press
THE LUMBER CO-OPERATOR has just completed the publication of the
first annual BUYERS' GUIDE & DEALER DIRECTORY in the northeast. It
includes 236 pages of industry information on manufacturers, wholesalers and
retailers.
This BUYERS' GUIDE & DEALER DIRECTORY lists 2050 retail lumber
dealers in the New York and New England area. This listing, arranged by state in
alphabetical order by city, gives the company name, address, phone number, and
contact.
The publication also includes a Buyers' Guide that lists each of the 156
advertiser's name, address, phone number, products, and sales representatives. This
listing is cross-referenced to the actual ad of the company.
A Product Directory can be found in the last part of the publication. When in
search of a distributor or manufacturer of a particular product, the retail dealer can
locate that product a lphabetically and find one o r more wholesalers or
manufacturers to contact.
Adequate indexes have been included to make the Directory easy-to-use. You
will find an index of cities, as well as an index of advertisers at the back of the
publication . The Table of Contents lists the page where each section begins.
Everyone at Northeastern has worked hard over the past six months
collecting and verifying the material for the 236 page Directory. Publication date has
been delayed several times due to the extraordinary amount of work involved in
publishing the first edition. Plans have been made to update the Directory each year,
as it will become an annual publication of THE LUMBER CO-OPERATO R .
Each member and associate member will receive a copy of the Directory
during the month of October. Extra copies are available at $75.00 each from THE
LUMBER CO-OPERATOR.
The BUYERS' GUIDE & DEALER DIRECTORY was prompted by the
new associate member program of the Association. Every retail lumber dealer,
wholesaler, manufacturer and their salesmen will want a copy. It is an extremely
valuable tool; in fact, it may become an "industry" bible.

Excel Wood Products Co.
Expands Line Of
Kitchen Cabinet Systems
The "Madison" - 11 total cabinet system that meets
every kitchen need.
Excel Wood Products Co. has expanded its 1976
line of high quality popular priced kitchen cabinet
systems to 20 variations, featuring five distinctively different styles each in three colors of cherry, pecan and
walnut.
According
to
Allan
L asser, vice
president/ marketing, Excel is also marketing a line of
unfinished cabinet systems, ready for finishing by the
dealer or homeowner. The most valuable features of the
lines are all wood construction, wooden drawers, selfclosing ball bearing drawe r suspension, mo rtise and
tenon joints and dove- tail assembly as fou nd in the most
expensive furniture on the market today. The cabinet
systems are available in a variety of sizes in modular
units to fit any kitchen layout.
The whole concept behind the kitchen systems
designed by Excel Wood Products, a Lakewood, N.J. ,
based firm, is th at gracio us living, combined with comfort and convenience, can start in the ki tchen without
putting a strain on the fam ily budget.
Lasser points out that surveys show that a kitchen
with modern livability is the number one consideration
of most homeowners " because the ki tchen is one of the
most lived-in rooms in the house.
"American families today are spending more time
in the kitchen than ever before," he states, " since this is
where entertaining begins and ends. The major interest
is in planning this room around a kitchen cabinet system
that is practical in keeping with today's lifestyle. The
buying trend is towa rds moderate pricing that offers the
Excel lntroducea • Richmond" -
another dream kitchen that's a reality
purchaser both elegance and conven ience. This is reneeted in ou r recent phenomenal sales growth and optimistic marketing fo recast for the new year," Lasser
decla red.
He further stated that one big reason for the popularity of Excel's modu lar kitchen systems is his company's insistence on quality in cra ftsma nshi p that meets

INDUSTRY BRIEFS
§ HOUSING STARTS in August rose to the highest
level in six months, due mainly to a rise in the lagging
production of apartments. Housing starts last month
rose II % to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
I ,542,000 units from the upward-revised July pace of
I ,391 ,000 units. The August rate was 22% ahead of the
yea r-earlier pace of I ,264,000 units.
Some housing economists say the statistics indicate
that housing starts, after bouncing up and down in
recent months, could begin to show a more consistent
improvement in coming months.
The August increase from July resulted mainly
from a 48% jump in the rate of apartment starts, which
have been the weak link in the housing recovery. Starts
of single-family homes, which have rebounded to nearrecord levels, also improved last month.
The total starts rate last month was the highest
since the February pace of 1,547,000 units. More
important, the rate rebounded sharply from a July dropoff and resumed the overall rising trend of production
a ppa rent since spring. Starts last month were up in all
regio ns of the country.
ttt
§ BUILDING PERMITS issued by the 14,000
communities that require them, increased for the second
consecutive month at a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of I ,298,000 units, up 7% from the July rate of I ,2 I 5,000
units and 30% above the year-earlier pace of 998,000
units.
A 19% rise in permits issued for apartment
construction accounted for most of the increase from
July. Permit activity rose in all sections of the country
except the South.
The permits were issued last month at the highest
annua l ra te since March, 1974.
ttt
§ CONGRESS APPROVES NATIONAL FOREST
MANAGEMENT ACT. Congress took final action on
October I, 1976, on forest management legislation to
relieve the Monogahela iss ue. The legislation now goes
to the White House for signing.
Vital in the provisions of the bill is its updating of
the Orga nic Act of 1897. Recent court interpretations of
this o utmoded law have restricted timber harvesting in
the Monogahela National Forest in West Virginia to
trees that are dead , or large growth, individually marked
and fully removed from the forest when harvested . This
interpretation was applied in o ther regions, resulting in
timber sale, harvesting and other forest management
restrictions in I I National Forests in seven states. The
deadly peril to timber supply, to employment, to the
consumer, to homebuilding and to all users of wood and
fiber products was that it could have been applied to all
155 National Forests.
10
• • •
NFPA president, Thomas M. Orth, hailed the bill
as "likely the most constructive forestry legislation in
history". " The legislation solves the critical problem of
authority for the Secretary of Agriculture to sell and
harvest timber in the National Forests," Orth said in a
statement. "It sets the tone and the policy for the future
management of the vast timber resources on these
federal lands, consistent with the 1960 Multiple UseSustained Yield Act, and balances all of the values that
now to the American people from these lands. The bill
that C ongress enacted is even more remarkable
considering the complexities of the issues involved, the
pressures from those opposed to economic use of the
forest resource, and the political climate in an election
year. "
ttt
§ JULY CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS AT $9.8
BILLION, UP 9% FROM 1975. Contracts in July for
new construction of aU kinds totaled $9,774, 133,000, it
was reported by the F. W. Dodge Division of McGrawHill Information Systems Company. A key factor was
another gain in residential construction contracts for the
month, with a sharp increase noted in apartment units.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the July value of
new construction work showed little change from the
June figure, but was 9% above the previous July total.
The Dodge Index of total construction contract value
(1967 = 100) was 184 in July. This compared with 187 in
June and an average of 186 for the first six months of
1976.
"July's construction contracts fit the general
pattern of a temporarily stalled recovery, as shown by
man y other key economic indicators," commented
George A. Christie, vice president and chief economist
for F . W . Dodge. He pointed out that, ' ' the construction
industry's recovery is presently hung up because onefamily housing has begun to level off and nonresidential
building, sti ll in the early stage of its recovery, hasn' t yet
developed enough momentum to sustain the advance."
Continuing the pattern of large year-to-year gains,
housing contracts showed a 35% increase over last July's
depressed rate of bui lding and accounted for
$4,148,869,000 in new residential work.
N o nresidential building contract value, at
$3,031 ,362,000 in July, was I% off its year-ago pace. The
Dodge economist stressed, however, that this virtually
unchanged figure concealed a wide range of variation
among individual types of non-residential buildings.
"Compared with the same month last year, commercial
building (stores, offices) has improved substantially and
institutional bui lding (schools, hospitals) is holding
steady while industrial construction remains depressed,"
said Christie.

Northeastern Convention Committee
•
Meets 1n Boston
Plans for the 1977 Northeastern Retail Lumbermens Association's 83rd Annual Convention and
Americaj East Building Materials Exposition have started and will be finalized within the next few months.
Convention Committee members met August 3 at the
Sheraton- Boston Hotel, Boston, Mass. to discuss the
upcoming show.
An exceptionally fine program has been scheduled
for the convention, to be held January 7, 8, 9, 1977 in the
Sheraton- Boston Hotel and John B. Hynes Auditorium.
Approximately 368 exhibit spaces have been sold at the
present time leaving I / 8 of the total existing space left to
be reserved. T his year, convention goers will find the exhibit area located on one floor instead of two as last
year's show was set up. The use of the main floor of the
Auditorium provides the exposition with the additional
space that it has been necessary to acquire for the increased number of exhibitors.
John Hruu, Fred Stahl, J . Glenn Spoor, Earl T. Carpenter, Jamee Baker,
Jamee Dunbar, Marilyn Guthrie.
Horace G. Pierce, executive vice president of N R LA ,
was present to advise the group of last year's convention
resu lts and plans a lready completed for 1977.
Two members of the convention staff at the hotel
conducted guided tours covering the rooms to be used
for the meetings and exhibition. After the tour, floor
plans of the hotel and the Auditorium along with
various subjects regarding registration areas, bussing
and exhibit areas were discussed.
Harry Ev. .lc k, Stan. Tltue, Dic k White.
Members of the Convention Committee gave their
approval for the theme of the 1977 convention: "Build
For Tomorrow - People, Products, Profits."
Northeastern president, J. Glenn Spoor, got the
meeting started and then turned it over to the Committee chairman , Earl T . Carpenter. An in-depth review of
the 1976 convention, covering speakers and programs in
addition to the increased size in exhibit space and attendance, was the fi rst matter of business fo r the day.

Ex terior Brick Panel On Wire Lath
A completely new modular exterio r b r ick pane l has been
developed by Flair Prod ucts, Inc.,
where a ll the 12 brick facings of
3/ 8" are completely embedded in
galvanized wire lath.

This permits the homeowner to
na il the 2 sq. ft. panel to the wall
studs and mortar the joints with a
mortar ad hesive in a ca ulking tube.
Flair Products, Inc. has combined
two basica lly acceptable building
materials- concrete bricks fortified
with epoxies and galvanized wire
lath - to give the homeowner years
of use. The panel is a lso weatherproof an d fireproof.
Th e sys tem offers many
economies in time and material o ver
individua l brick systems. Only 1.4 of
the mortar is required in a nail-up
installatio n si nce the mortar serves
only to decorate rather th an offer

Convect-0 - Heate r By Ge neral
P roducts Corp.
A self-contained portable unit
designed to divert a substantial
a mount of fireplace heat into the
room, instead of up the chimney,
has been developed by G eneral
Products Corp.
Efficient room heating is achieved
by building the fire directly on the
tabular chambers. As these chambers are heated by the fire, cool air is
draw n in at the bottom openings,
s uper hea ted , then fo rced out
through the upper openings. Forced
convection is produced by a small
silent blower.
The forced convectio n process of
hea ting overcomes chimney draw
a nd converts the fireplace into a
heat producing system. The chambers, o nce heated (this takes approximately 10 minutes) need only a
sma ll fire to maintain a constant
heat fl ow into the room, thus saving
on fireplace fuels.
Convect-0-Heater is capable of
heating up to I ,200 square feet of
New G-P Oxford Paneling W ith An
Innovative Surface T reatment
Oxford, an interior panel that
creates a new s urface look in
prefinshed plywood wall paneling,
has been introduced by GeorgiaPacific Corp.
This paneling pays tribute to
English craftsmen, who for centuries
used the s ubtle elegance of select
wood to enrich and accen t their
homes.
Oxford recalls th is tradition in
detail with dappled undertoning on
its birch veneered plywood surface,
created by utilizing colored inks to
ach ieve mottled patterns.
Three decorator colortones are
available in th e Oxfo rd line. They
include: Ivy, with a subtle gree nish
hue; Burgu ndy, with a hint of a deep
wine-red undertone; a nd Heatherbrown, with an overall nut-brown
a ppea rance coupled with the look of
a leather overprint.
Red Devil, Inc. Introduces New Paint
Applicator Line
Red Devil, Inc., has introduced a

the brush handles and packages are
color-coded. Brushes can be displayed with handles up or down,

the company did a considerable amoun t of design work
when contemplati ng a move last year. The decis io n to
purchase the present locatio n was made after the first
site proved unsuitable.
The new site has been q uestioned by many because
of its closeness to the flood plain. This was taken into
account an d a la rge pumping system was in stalled with
an electric main motor an d a gasoline-fired backup
system . Two add itional systems were provided giving a
to ta l of a prima ry a nd three backup systems.
When the south Corning area was struck by the
Father's Day flood , the site of the new buildings was not
damaged showing that the engineering was apparently
correct. The system is designed to protect the firm from
m ost flood threats except the over-topping of the dikes
by the C hemung Ri ver.
Founded in I 848 before Corning was incorporated,
Corning Building is Corning's oldest firm. The o riginal
founder, Charles C. B. Wal ker, ran the business until the
late 1800's when his so n-in-law, C hester Glen Cole, took
over the operation. Mr. Co le ra n the firm until it was incorporated in 1905 an d became first president of the corporatio n.
William T . Smith joined Corning Bui lding in I 898
and became first treas urer in 1905. After Mr. Cole's
death in 1920, Mr. Smith became president.
Glen Walker Cole, a so n of Mr. Cole and former
president of Corning G lass Works, was a dj rector a fter
1920 and chairman of the board of directors from 1933
until his death in 1955.
J ames W. Smith, so n of William T. Smith, joined
th e firm in 1923 a nd became presi dent a decade later. He
now serves as chair man of the execut ive committee.
His son, James A. Smith, is the current president of

The Subject Is Sinks
A sink is a sink is a sink!
D o n't you believe it. There's a lot mo re to si nk
selectio n than meets t he eye. And today's homemaker
who is about to make a n investment in kitchen modernizing is becoming mo re sop histicated in her choice o f
new app liances; that op histicatio n extends to the
kitchen sink.
The customer is looking fo r i nte lligent a nd
professional guidance, on not o nly such important matters as type, style and placement of sink, but also in the
matter of brand name.
This presents the o pportu nity, indeed, the respo nsibility for th e plumbing contracto r to provide the best
product possible.
Stainlel l ateel Waate-AII alnk available In alngle or double compartment
modela.
In an age of consumerism , today's inq uisitive and
involved homem aker who contemplates a new sink
purchase has many questions to be answered . And with
an overwhelming p reference for sinks of stainless steel,
the C ustomer Service Department of E lkay Manufacturing Company (the world's largest producer of
stainless steel sinks) find s it is fieldi ng a barrage of consum er q uestions these days. T he q uestions most asked
(and the answers Elkay s upplies) are listed here:
How will I know I'm getting a " quality" sink?
One way is to insist on a sink tha t is constructed of
nickel-bearin g stain less steel. N ickel content adds the
qua lity which enhances the beautiful finish and stain
resistant qu ality und er all kitchen co nditio ns. The
preferred stainless steel for kitchen sinks is the nickelbearing T ype 302, si nce it is far superior in corrosion
resistant capab ilities.
Is th e " thi ckn ess " of th e m eta l a n import a nt
consideration?
Thick ness, o r gauge of the metal, is most importan t. Generall y recommended for resid enti al sink use
a re # 18 a nd #20 gauge thi ckness. ote th at the s ma ller
the ga uge n umber, t he thi cker the materia l; therefore,
#18 ga uge is heavier th an # 20 a nd so on. The ideal
26
residenti al sin k product is a combination of T ype 302
stai nless steel and # 18 gauge, with the proper surface
fi nish. The ga uge an d type of stainless should be indicated in sink specificat ions and o n the ink ca rton.
Do stainless steel sin ks require special attention?
No. A II that's needed is a n occasiona l wash wit h a
mild detergent. T hen wipe t hem dry with a cloth or dish
towel. Lig ht scouring with your favo rite cleanser fo llowing the "grain lines" act ually improves the look o f stainless steel , a nd of co urse stainles steel w ill never chip,
stain o r crack a nd wil l last a lifetime.
What sizes and styles are ava ilable?
Designers have t ransfo rmed sheets of stain less steel
into a lmost every imaginab le style and size sink. Round,
sq uare, rectangu lar an d oval are the basic shapes, and
these ca n be comb ined in one si nk - such as th e triple
compartment si nk. D ouble bowl sin ks are available that
fit neatly into a corner location; a nd large capacity sinks
have larger, deeper basi ns to accommodate oversize
roast ing pa ns an d cookie sheets.
What do I look for in fi ttings?
Since they receive as much wear a nd tear as the s ink
itself, to p qu ality faucets a re a must. The fa ucet fixture
sho uld respo nd to the slightest touch. A swinging spout
and an aerator are added conveniences. The aera tor
saves o n water a nd is excellent fo r rinsing vegetables and
ot her foods because of th e tiny a ir bubbles it introduces
into the stream of water. A swinging spo ut enables you
to rinse o ut the sin k with a nick o f the wrist a nd points

Expansion Continues at Warner Pruyn
Continui ng the expansion of thei r chain of home
center stores, Warner Pruyn, Glens Falls, NY, on September 9 opened their third and newest center and
building materi a ls drive-in serving th e FultonMo ntgomery County area in Johnstown , NY.
The new branch will carry a complete line of
hardware, lawn and garden supplies, a nd pa int and
building materi als. Customers will be able to dri ve into
the drive-through area and load up with their materials.
Having purchased the new site on J uly I , the former
auto agency building on th e lot was co mpletely
remodeled and enlarged. A 5,680 square foot covered,
lumber storage area has been constructed with an
overhang on one side to be used for storage of additional building products.
Jeffery Smith , formerl y of G lens Fa lls a nd
Syracuse, is the manager of the new facilities. Assistant
ma nager is Gary Weaver who has also been transferred
from the G lens Falls home center. Both have moved to
Johnstown, havi ng been prom oted to thei r new positions after completing the company training program in
Glens Falls.
In additi on to the new store's management team,
the merchandising and set up of the new home center
was accomplished with the assistance of Neil Giammatteo, merchandising manager, Jim Pal mer, advertising
manager, Pete Jensen , construction coordinato r, and
Bob White and Andy Garceau, buyers, all from the
chain's G lens Falls headquarters staff.
Warner Pruyn, the first in the coun try to bri ng
together the home center store concept and the building
materials drive-in when they buil t their new faci lities in
1972, has since received national recogni tion, winning
the Home Cen ter of the Year Award in 1974 and bei ng
featured in Georgia Pacific's 1976 Progressive Dealer
motion picture. Si nce introducing this new method of
merchandisi ng in Glens Falls, the firm has opened a new
home center in Saratoga Springs and is in the process of
converting its' older Plattsburgh branch to the new concept.
The company is well known fo r its free clinics fo r
the do-it-yo urself home owner. These cli nics are taugh t
by manufacturer's representatives and the Warner
Pruyn professional builders' staff, and cover all phases

Featured at the Opening were sales in every department, door prizes, free balloons for the children, free
key holders, while the supply lasted, and guessing contests. A bicycle was to be given to the person who could
guess the nearest figure to the correct mileage of the
back wheel wh ich was attached to a speedometer.
Following the co nclusion of the 10-day Grand
Opening sale, J. G lenn Spoor, president of the company,
commented "the outstanding success of this sale clearly
establishes that the people of the Fu lton-Montgomery
County area like the home center and building material
drive-in concept. We have completed a schedule of our
how-to-do-it clinics, which will be starting in October,
and, based on the response we always have from
customers interested in learning how to save money by
doing their own ho me repairs and remodeling, we are
confident that store tra ffic and sales will continue stro ng
in this newest addition to our home center chain ."
Warner Pruyn Home Center is a subsidiary of
Finch, Pruyn & Co., Inc., a paper manufacturer in
Glens Falls which traces its histo ry back to the 19th century.
T he earliest beginning of a retail operation by
Finch, Pruyn & Co., was a lumber business. The firm
also operated a fleet of 30 massive ba rges which carried
lime, black marble and stone to New York. Later, the
boats carried newsp rint to New York.
A retail business was operating as part of Finch,
Pruyn by 1912 and, as an outgrowth of the lumber
business, a building materials firm was established in
1925.
In 1969, Finch Pruyn Sales, Inc. acquired A.C.
Warner Co., a building supply firm with extensive land
holding on G lenwood A venue and Quaker Road, G lens
Falls. Warner Pruyn was formed and began operations
at both the retail store on Glen Street and at the former
War ner stores on Glenwood Avenue.

A main feature of the sports event this year was the
Hole-In-One contest in which Lumbertown, Meredith ,
Inc. donated a new Ford Granada to be given to the
winner of the contest held at the 8th hole. The car went
back to Meredith as no golfer was lucky enough to get
the needed hole-in-one.

Prior to lunch, a tour of Grandad's Toy WorkShop
was provided for those ladies not participa ting in the
golf tournament. A poolside buffet was served for lunch
wi th a delicious spread of taste-tempting foods.
The a ftern oon brought a downpour of rain that
kept the tennis tournament a nd horseshoe tournament
from being held . Eventually the rain let up and the

Certified Cabinets 'Better Than Average'
Dealers and remodeling contractors who sell certified kitchen and vanity cabinets have a valuable selling
tool at thei r disposal - the certification seal of the
National Kitchen Cabinet Association.
A national survey recently conducted by the
ational Kitchen Cabinet Association 's Standards and
Certification Program showed that kitchen and bath
remodeling prospects consider KCA-certified cabinets
"better than average in quality."
A total of 237 persons, representing 78.2% of those
who answered the question, held this favorable opin ion
of KCA-certified cabinets.
On ly one person among the 478 q ueried considered
certified cabinets to be " less than average in quality."
Sixty-five saw no difference in qu ality, while 175 did not
or co uld not answer the question, indica ting that they
had no op inion or else had insufficient in format io n to
make a judgment.
In answer to an allied question, 83.2% of those who
responded said that a certifying agency that requires
kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities to meet construction and performance standa rds "provides a useful
service for consumers."
The response to the q uestionn aire indicated a large
amoun t of goodwi ll and credibi lity for N KCA-certified
products among consumers, accoring to James L.
44
Dooley, ad mi nistrator of the
KCA's Program.
Mr. Dooley suggested that dealers can boost their
sales of cert ified prod ucts by heeding some of the e selling tips:
I. When showing certified cabinets to kitchen or
bath remodeling prospects, ca ll atten tion to the N KCA
certification sea l on cabinet doors or in drawers.
2. Direct attention to the certification seal in
manufactu rers' sales li terature, advertising, catalogs and
spec sheets.
3. Above all, ex pla in the benefits of certified
cabinets. Explain that the seal means the cabinets have
been tested by independent laboratories to meet the construction and performance standards of the American
National Standards Institute. The testi ng simulates 10
years service for constructio n and fi ve years for the
cabinet finish under rugged kitchen and bathroom conditio ns.
4. Offer the prospect a copy of the colo rful 16-page
book let on cabinet selection , " Ki tchen and Bat h Planning," th at explains the benefi ts of certified cabinets.
Dealers may obtain the booklet in qua ntity at $10 per
hundred from the atio nal Kitchen Cabinet Association , cj o Sumner Rider & Associates, Inc., 355 Lexington Aven ue, New York, .Y. 10017. Sample copies
are free .

Associatio n.
P ro visions of the HPM A service require that each mill par-

The HPMA i ns pecto r will
closely examine the kitchen ca binet
marketing lines of the m anufactu rer,

Wh en each kitchen ca bin et

The a verage r ating o f the fo ur

After the cabinet categories

R .I., is a truly modern facility incorporating all of the
latest wareho use and sto re layo ut principals.
T he new facility includes a full li ne of ho me o wner

In establ ishing an expanded image as a Ho me Cen48

cartoon ty pe, illustrated logo symbolizing the industri o us, hardworking an d frie ndly fam ily man of the
forest.
In order to compete successfull y in ha rdwa re a nd

Patch Brothers Become
PBI Home Center
Beginning as a small family business shortly after the
turn of the century, Patch Brothers has nurtured, grown,
and developed into a major local enterprise. During all
its growing, somehow, it sti ll has retained the warmth
a nd personal atten tion of a family concern.
PBI H ome Cente r o f Dryden , Dryde n, N .Y .,
prev ious ly known as Patch Bro thers, opened for
business September 15 in their new I 0,600 square foot
building, celebrating a major new phase of operation as
one of the most com plete home building an d remodeli ng
centers in Centra l New Yo rk-Finger Lakes area.
Located o pposite the venerable and familia r o lder
Patch Brothers st ructure, the new bui lding has an increased display area of about 4,000 feet ... " mo re than
do uble what we had before," says owner Jack Patch,
who is the last of the o rigi nal five bro thers engaged in
the fa mily busi ness.
What started in 19 11 as a sm all coal and wood enterprise run by R obert C. Patch , is now a comprehensive
and exciting ho me building and decora ting center offering professio na l materia ls and advice to homeowners.
A line o ld scale, nosta lgic reminder of the "old days"
is still used to weig h out nai ls, but everywhere else in the
inviting bright new sto re are the latest items in home"
remodeling and building needs. The com pany is proud
to show customers the model kitchens, the ba throom
appliance and plumbing sectio n, the excellent selection
of hand and power tools, househo ld and sma ll appliance
department and the outstanding paint center.
PBI Home Center caters to both the professional contracto r and the do-it-yo urselfer carrying items from ceiling ti le to fl oo r coverings, acoustica l and decorative to
Congoleu m a nd carpetin g. " In fact," Ri chard Holmes,
vice president and general manager notes, "we have an
excellen t series of books over there" indicating the D olt-Yourself Book Center, ''that gives a lo t of valuable
tips and very good step-by-step instru cti o ns o n practica ll y anythi ng }'
"This is probably one of t he fi nest buildings of its
kind in New Yo rk State," J ack Patch stated with
justifiable pride in the new ho me center. He admits he
still finds it in teres ting to be including top brands of
sma ll ho me app liances, sporting goods and home
deco rating items in the traditional ho me building invento ry.
A stroll through the attractive store confirms the label
"complete ho me center". M ateri als and tools for every
aspect of home building, remodeling and maintenance
are displayed in solid, brightly colo red arrangements.
Much o f th e credit for the actua l constru ction of the
50
new build ing goes to Dick Ho lmes, who, with Jack
Patch, helped design the new home center.
After th e decisio n came a year ago April to begin construction, the four-man team of Dick Holmes, Bob
G lazier, forman, Bill Bell and Thomas G lazier started
work on the building early in November, 1975.
''Sometimes we wor ked in coats and hats," Ho lmes
recalled with a ch uckle. The weat her proving to be very
uncoo perati ve wi th rai n, s now a nd genera ll y nasty days
con tribu ted to the delay in the com pletio n o f the
buildi ng.
Shirley G lazier a nd Stella H olmes, a lso dedicated
workers, started in the ea rly sp ring to begin the massive
interio r decorating job. They worked according to
specifications d rawn up by RKB Enterprises of Elmira.
Besides keeping the in side clean , the wo men did 99% of
the interi o r painting, varn ishing and staining. Painting
took them a month for three coats; staining of the
woodwork took five solid days of eight ho ur shifts.
Undo ubt ly, a ll concern ed were sure the immense
cooperative effo rt was worth it as th ey prepared to
welcome the community to th e new ho me center. The
company's emphasis is still on helping the ind ividual
ho meow ner meet his building and m aintenance needs,
but they are a lso geared to cater to the cons tru ction industry in the professional capacity.

The business o riginally started by Robert Patch, a station agent for the Lehigh Valley Rai lroad Compan y was
to supplement his income a fter he fou nd him self alone
to raise five child ren. Later he married again and
fathered 10 more children.
As the business conti nued to branch o ut, different
members of the fa mily took over the di fferent branches.
In planning for the future, the family sta rted consolidating their holdings a nd sold three of the yards to
th e men who had been the m anagers of the branches.
Two brothers went on their own to form a new
partnership and later the youngest bought the Dryden
o peration. Two other brothers withdrew from the family
firm .
In keeping with past traditio n, the Dryden firm is in
the process of being sold to a young and energetic Dick
Holmes, following the footsteps of form er ma nagers
who eventually purchased the individual Patch Brothers
branches.

Frontier Lumber Partially
Social Trend
To
Destroyed By Fire
A state of emergency was decla red
by Mayor M akowski at the height
of three spectacular incendia ry fires ,
one involving the Frontier Lumber
Co., Inc., early Monday mo rning,
August 30 in North Buffa lo, N .Y .
Volunteers from II suburban compa nies were called upon to ma n
local city fire ho uses.
A II three fires were spotted within
15 minutes after the first fire alarm
was so unded at 4:08a.m . at the lumber co mpan y. Burning s imultaneously, the fires sent na mes in to
the a ir that were visi ble from as fa r
away as Grand Island a nd the South
Towns.
A total of five alarms were sound ed seriously draining fire protection throughout the city.
The most spectacular blaze swept
through t he Frontier Lumber Co .
dest roying three large storage
buildings filled with lumber. The
s hed s were at the rear of the
property. The offices, mill and shop,
located in the front of the yard, were
no t damaged. The compa ny which
employs 70 work ers, was open for
business Monday, since the mai n
buildings were not destroyed .
Edward J. McD ermid, president
of the company, estimated damage
at over $ 1 mi llion. In add ition to the
lumber, the firm a lso lost eight
trucks in the fire .
This was the company's second
bad fire in seven yea rs and occurred
despite stringent security precautions, McDermid stated.
Frontier Lumber had installed
electric eyes, a larms and an hourly
sec urity patro l, acting o n the reco mmendations of the company's insurance agent.
The lumber ya rd blaze was first
spotted by two patroling Buffalo
police officers. They radioed that
there were two fires "going real
good" in the rea r of the building.

fire, spotted the fl a mes at the
Truckenbrod Company.
Alarms at th e yard were turned in
at 4:08 a. m ., 4: 13, 4:16, 4: 17 and
4:19. The fire, fanned by freshening
winds, became so hot that severa l
fire hoses burned . At the height of
t he fire the order was given by acting
North Di vis ion C hi ef, Arthur
Herdzik, to move the firetrucks
back because they were threatened
by the heat. Along with threatening
winds, the fire companies had to
move cautio usly because a number
of power lines .had dropped in the
area.
Ext ra fire companies were called
in after th e first a larm came in from
the th ird fire at a baby furniture
compa ny at 4:44 a. m . At 7:22 a.m.
the emergency was lifted a nd the
suburban vo lunteers were released
by D eputy Fire Commissioner,
Anthony P. Constantino.
Investiga tors fro m the district attorney's office, the police a nd t he
fire depa rtments were called to the
scene to combine their efforts. They
were called after arson became evident. It was thought that the work
appea red to be t hat of o ne person .
Witnesses reported seeing a man
p o urin g a fluid in one of th e
buildi ngs just as the fla mes started
to rise.
A watchma n at another lumber
ya rd, Gregg Neville Lumber, found
ten plastic jugs filled with gasoli ne

con nection between the d iscovery of
the gasoline and the arso n fire at
Fro ntier two ho urs later.

Energy Saving Home Construction Plans Now Available
For the National Plan Service to

prove that most American families

in early 1976 was over $44,000,
wh ile half of America's families earn
less than $ 12,800 a year.)
They also can show how expensive it has become to operate a home
in the post-energy-crisis era. (For
example, heating and cooling bills in
some areas of the United States are
almost equal to monthly mortgage
payments.)
Recognizing the urgent natio nal

reduction of construction and housing costs, a group of leaders in the
building industry combined their efforts to introduce known a nd
proven energy a nd cost savi ng construction techn iques. The combined
efforts o f those involved have made

method, u s ing 2x6 framing,
produces remark ab le energy savings
in that it accomodates twice as much
in su lat ion a s the 2x4 framing
method . Masonry found atio ns, or
the new a ll-weather pressure-treated
