several sites in this
the country but when they
came here they feit at
once that ‘this is the place.”
Onz of the factors which
promps Parkwood to open a
manufacturing plant in the
East is to overcome transpor-
tation costs of finished pro
ducts. Already, about 50 per-
cent of the ten-year-old com
pany’s output is being moved
from the Eikhart area of In.
diana to the East. Officials
estimate that within three
years the transportaion costs
saved will justify the con-
struction here,
Location to market as well
as location of the plant site
of 39 acres between Route
230 and the Penn Central
railroad is almost ideal for
the company’s needs.
Actually, a portion of the
area already has been made
available to another firm
which will become a sup-
plier of plywood material.
The second plant, which will
erect two buildings, will be
located along the Eby Chiq
ues road. One building wil be
for certain manufacturing
processes and the other for
warehousing.
Among those who attended
the ground breaking ceremon-
ies were representatives of
McCollough Construction Co.,
which will build facilities for
both Parkwotd and the cther
industry. Cecil E. Thompson,
