DMA, As usual, I am a bit behind the times. I was talking about the 60s when I said what I did about the steel industry. As I remember, the lumber companies have also recovered to some degree from what happened to them when the Japanese got involved. The Japanese would by whole trees,(branches removed, of course) load them on ships which had complete saw mills down below, and arrive in Japan, or what ever destination, with sized out lumber ready for market. I heard, but do not know for sure, that some of that lumber got sold, and shipped, back the U.S. for less money than domestically produced lumber. I think now, that Japan has been having some labor problems of their own which has limited the edge they once had. ~;=;o --haqi
