Scope and content
Interiors at the Fuller Building, laying of tile squares, for new DFPA office. Formed in 1938 to promote the plywood industry, the Douglas Fir Plywood Association sparked the biggest industry growth ever in the Northwest. The number of plywood plants increased four times from 1938 to the mid 50's. The Association had three goals: the aggressive promotion of plywood as a building material, research and quality control. They maintained three offices in Tacoma: the A St. main building, a research lab at 1214 A and an information bureau in the Rust Building. TPL-8392
