The change in loca- tion followed an announcement made in May of the sale of the company's property at the north- west corner of Goderich and East William Streets, to the Sun Oil Co. For nearly 80 years the Gode- rich Street site had been the loca- tion of a lumber yard and planing mill. For some time, according to of- ficials of Seaforth Lumber Limit- ed. it had been felt that there was a requirement for more space than was available at the Goderich Street location. In addition, the existence of a lumber yard and planing mill in a built-up area was considered a potential fire hazard, and as a result insurance costs were substantially higher than would be the case if the business was located elsewhere. These rea- sons prompted the acceptance of the offer 'from Sun Oil. The sale was effective June 1. With posses- sion being given September 1. As soon as a decision was. taken to dispose of the Goderich Street site. Seaforth Lumber commenced the construction of a modern fire- proof cement block building on Railway' Street. This was ready for partial occupancy the latter part of August. when the moving of the plant was commenced. In addition to the plant accommoda- tion proper, extensive lumber stor- age accommodation is being erect- ed at the rear of the property, ad- jacent to a C.N.R. siding. Long a landmark on Goderich Storage Space is Ever Present Need Whether residing in a house or an apartment. few families ever seem to have enough storage space. Nowadays extra storage facilities become available at mod- erate cost and for ease of instal- ation. For the apartment or home, and for use in just about any room in the house is "Peg -Board" paneling. This is . a hardboard panel, per- forated with hundreds of holes that is easily adapted to all "hang-up" and shelving needs. These panels can be painted "to match any color scheme in the home. A priming coat is required and then followed with one or two coats of the desired color finish. Large panels in new construc- tion may be nailed directly to the wall studs. Over existing walls, spacers are required. These may be in the form of a light lumber framework or in ver- tical strips spaced at 16" intervals between rows of boles. The spacers provide room for insertion and removal of the metal fixtures. For most inside locations, the 1/2 -inch thick panels are practical. For heavy duty use as in the ga- rage, those of 1/4 -inch thickness are recommended. Satisfaction Comes From Doing It Yourself One of the reasons for the trend to "do-it-yourself" is the personal satisfaction that comes from the accomplishment of a job done by one's own effort and skills. Renovation costs of an older house may be kept low through the use of inexpensive new prod- ucts, and by the use of familiar old ones used in new ways. Remodeling ideas can be planned in simple, step-by-step stages, pay- ing as you go along. One of the newer treatments in modern construction is the feeling of spaciousness_ _through "-open planning" In remodeling older houses, this may be achieved by eliminating unsightly partitions, heavy woodwork and bric-a-brac trims. Windows can be "stretch- ed" ... closets relocated, and to- gether with cheerful',color and tex- ture gain better lighting, more room. Some suggested remodeling ideas wherever possible call for "face- lifting" without basic structural changes. For examplie — a dark brick exterior can be faced with bright stucco; a front porch elim- inated to extend the living room out to the new, open eaves. Planned modernization can help unify the downstairs living, dining and kitchen areas by removing the separating partitions. Color and texture now are used to bring the newly -achieved areas all into close harmony. Other important changes that may be made at low, cost — are floor -to -ceiling windows, rippled translucent glass partitions, multi- purpose built-ins to provide both storage space and work surface. Easy -to -clean linoleums, asphalt tile counter tops, plastic -finished wall -board paneling and special, acoustical wallboards and' ceiling tile can be used efficiently and economically throughout the entire remodeling plan.

A lum- beer yard had been operated there since the early years of Seaforth, and when the Cluff firm decided to move its planing mill; and pump shop'° from its former Location at North Road and Franklin St., the lumber yard was purchased. The portion of the plant which houses the company office originally was a portion of the 1VIcDermid store in Harpurhey, and was moved to Seaforth- Recalling early days of the firm, Mr. A. F. Cluff said he assisted in moving the building to Seaforth, and thought. it would be 'n the early or middle nineties. The frame buildings on Goderich St., which accommodated the lum- ber business for so many years, have been levelled and construc- tion of a modern service station for Sim Oil Co. is under way. THE RECENTLY ERECTED ACCO1LIMODATION which houses Seaforth Lumber Ltd. is located on Railway Street. The modern cement block building includes office and showroom, as well as manufacturing facilities. Storage ' accommodation is being erected between the plant and a C,N.Rr spur line. (Photo by.
