EXPORT SHIPMENT OF
I
A small sample shipment of Al
aska’s best giade of yellow cedar
logs were sent from Ketchikan
destined for Osaka, Japan, Eng
land and Germany, says the Ket
chikan Chronicle.
The shipment is being made by
Parks and Seiig who say that
continental Europe is in the mar
ket for high grade yellow cedar
logs, and that the Alaskan qual
ity cannot be excelled anywhere.
Japan has always been a heavy
buyer in normal times of Alas
ka cedar logs.
Parks and Seiig are said to be
the only exporters in Alaska at
the present time who are special
izing in logging and shipping of
yellow cedar. It is said that they
are in position to quote prices to
any foreignor domestic port and
to fill any reasonable orders for
yellow cedar which the outside
markets might demand.
Alaska cedar is known to be
the slowest growing wood found on
the North American continent and
is often referred to as the “wood
everlasting.” It is universally re
cognized as a superior wood, due
to the natural oil found in the
tree which preserves it from der
cay and has always been in de
mand for battery separator stock
both in America and abroad
